A/N: sorry this isn't my best, the idea started out funny. in the wise words of Clara Owsold, "This sounded better in my head."

Liquid Nitration

"How do you spell that?" Ben whispered to Percy. Vestara butted into the conversion before Percy could answer that he didn't know.

"L-I-Q-U-I-D N-I-T-R-A-T-I-O-N" she hissed. Ben hit the appropriate buttons on the label maker as his girlfriend gave him the letters.

"You can make the water freezing cold without it freezing right?" Ben asked Percy. Percy evilly grinned in response.

"You know your part too, right Vestara?" Percy asked. Vestara gave him a dirty look in response, and muttered, "I can't believe I'm doing this, I'm going to get into so much trouble."

"I'll take that as a yes." That comment earned Percy another glare. Vestara had been sucked into the boys' little plot to pull a prank on either High Lord Sarasu Taalon or her own father, Saber Gavar Khai, and she was most certainty not happy about it.

"Awww come on Ves, live a little! This'll be fun you'll see." Vestara gave her jedi counterpart her best I-am-a-sith-and-if-you-do-not-shut-up-right-now-I-promise-I-will-kill-you stare. Ben sighed.

"So what exactly is going on with you two? Are you two a…thing or what?" asked Percy, seeing the tension between his two companions.

"With him!?" Sneered Vestara, then finished with a simple, but effective, "he's. A. Jedi." She snarled.

"Oh, come on! A blind non-Force user could see there's something going on between you two." Vestara started to reach for her lightsaber, but Ben defused the situation by quickly saying, "guys, were getting off topic, and running out of time. Let's go, Percy, does Leo have the cam?"

"Well…that depends…"

"On?" asked Vestara.

"How much of the camera, you consider your camera. He took it apart and upgraded it."

"Good." Said Vestara.

"HEY!" Taalon looked up to see, the youngest Skywalker running towards him waving his arms wildly. Annoyance flickered within him. The boy didn't even need to be near him to irritate Taalon. Ben ran up, panting.

"You…didn't just…drink that…did you?" Taalon narrowed his eyes.

"Yes. I did."

"That's liquid nitrogen!" Ben yelped, snatching the canteen from Taalon's hands and turning it around so Taalon could see the label Ben had typed up earlier. Taalon froze.

"Don't move! I'll go get my dad! He'll know what to do!" Ben darted off.

"Don't move! I'll go get my dad! He'll know what to do!" inwardly Vestara sighed. That was her cue, as soon as Ben was out of sight, she grabbed her High Lord's shoulder, and screamed; scaring him, and causing him to make a high pitched shrieking sound. Taalon spun around bearing down on the young woman, drawing his lightsaber.

I'm going to die! I'm going to die! Taalon is going to kill me because I took part in Ben's stupid prank! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

The laughter Ben, Percy, and Leo had been indulging in died in their throats. Ben spun around to run and get his dad, but Luke was already on the job.

Vestara closed her eyes, waiting for the killing below. She heard Taalon's lightsaber clashed with another. Vestara opened her eyes to see Luke had stopped the attack.

"What's going on here!?" Luke demanded, looking from Taalon to Vestara to Ben, Leo, and Percy and back again.

"It's my fault Dad," Ben said quietly. "I blackmailed Vestara into helping Leo, Percy, and I pull a prank on Taalon." Ben bowed his head in shame at the fact that he had nearly gotten Vestara killed. Luke sighed, shaking his head.

"Just get back to ship, we're ready to leave."

As the boys and Vestara walked back to the Jade Shadow Percy suddenly asked, "so how did you get Vestara to help us? You never told us. It must be pretty bad, considering she seemed to know that would happen." Vestara glanced at Ben in panic and shook her head franticly. Ben gave Percy a dry smirk.

"Maybe someday, I'll tell you, but for now, it isn't my story to tell."

A/N2: so what did you think? please R&R! Oh and by the way, do you think I should write about how Ben got Vestara to pull a prank on Taalon?
