Ok, chapter 6! YAY!
This chapter is dedicated to Pearlmaidenredskyla, for giving me the idea for the class Ahsoka goes to. I put my own twist on it, but this chapter would not exist without Pearlmaidenredskyla. THANK YOU!
(Note: I have found a small error in this chapter near the end of it and have fixed it. ;D) (and i fixed the typo that i found again...)
Last time, on A Not-So-Normal Week: Our friends played Iron Chef, Anakin rode a skateboard, and Ahsoka has strange things in her pocket :D
This time, on A Not-So-Normal Week: Ahsoka goes to a nutrition class, Anakin spies, and the weather is strange...
A Not-So-Normal Week
Chapter 6: Allergic
Beep. Beep. Beep. Ahsoka's alarm clock buzzed loudly, waking her up. The Togrutan Padawan hopped out of bed and went to the kitchen. She started to make a cup of coffee, when, Anakin came into the kitchen.
"Snips! What did I say about coffee?" He shouted.
"Um… not to drink it?" She said timidly.
"Exactly." Anakin took away the coffee cup and put it in a safe and locked the door. "That is why I've signed you up for this class…" He handed Ahsoka a flyer. The flyer read, "The Negative Effects of Caffeine on the Togruta."
At Ahsoka's confused expression, Anakin said, "It's a nutrition class about caffeine. More specifically why you shouldn't have it."
"I don't want to go to a class like that!" Ahsoka pouted.
"Well sorry you have to. Besides, I'm sure there will be lots of other kids just like you who want to get some knowledge and safety when it comes to food!" Anakin said.
"Yeah right."
Anakin smiled. "Come on. It will be fun, I know it!"
Ten minutes later…
"Very fun indeed," Ahsoka muttered sarcastically to herself. She had just entered the class room and taken her seat. The class was filled with nine other Togrutans, and the teacher, who was Togrutan herself.
"Class, class! Settle down," Said the teacher. "Over this class we will be studying caffeine and what it does to us, and why we shouldn't eat or drink it."
A girl next to Ahsoka poked her slightly. "This is going to be so boring," she muttered.
Ahsoka nodded. She was pretty amazed by the class overall though. It wasn't every day she was surrounded by her own kind. Then again, they weren't her kind in the sense that they weren't Jedi, but there was a small liking of being with her own people.
"CLASS LISTEN UP!" The teacher shrieked to the whispering class. When she received perplexed stares, she said, "Um, sorry, class, I had coffee this morning, I know this class is on why we shouldn't have caffeine but I thought it was decaf!"
The teacher pushed a button on the holoprojector. "Caffeine. The energy giving substance commonly found in coffee, energy drink, chocolate, and some soda. While to most species it gives energy if used in small amounts, to us Togrutans it gives a large amount of energy in a small amounts." The holoprojector showed the caffeine filled foods.
Ahsoka raised her hand. "But other species get hyper too! I remember this one time-"
"There will be time for stories later," The teacher interrupted. "But yes, it does make other species hyper too, but our species is the one species most effected by caffeine known to anyone. That is why we must be careful when using it, because very small amounts will have this effect."
The teacher reached into the other room and pulled out a large object on wheels covered in a tarp. "That is why I have invented," She pulled off the tarp, "Coffee substitute!"
Under the tarp was a pitcher full of brown liquid on a cart. "This substitute will fill your desire for coffee while keeping the energy level to a minimum. Contains no real caffeine, no sugar, and only fifty calories a glass." She took out some paper cups. "I would like you all to sample it." She handed out the cups and instructed them to line up and all get some.
"But do be careful, it has been known to cause allergic reactions in some." The teacher said.
"Now enjoy! I'll be back after my lunch break. Everyone try it and then you will get free time!" Said the teacher and she left.
Ahsoka watched her leave and took her paper cup to the pitcher. She poured herself a small glass of the liquid and sat back down. Then she took a sip.
"Yuck!" Ahsoka spluttered. The liquid tasted nothing like coffee, and it was cold.
Suddenly Ahsoka's skin began to itch and a bumpy rash covered her arms. "Oh, no!" She cried. The girl next to her glanced over. "Something wrong?" She asked.
"I think I'm allergic to this!" Ahsoka said.
"Let me see," the girl said, she took a look at Ahsoka's arm. "Yep, looks like you're allergic. We should probably get the teacher, she will know what to do."
Ahsoka nodded and winced as her arm swelled up more. The rash spread onto her face, and her breathing began to get difficult. She coughed and gasped.
"Some one get the teacher, hurry!" The other girl shouted.
A random dude nodded and ran out of the room. The other students gathered around Ahsoka.
The teacher burst in. "What is going on?" She cried.
"She's allergic to your coffee stuff!" The girl cried. "What do we do?"
"I'll give her this allergy shot and we'll send her home." Said the teacher. She gave Ahsoka the shot and called the number labeled "Emergency contact" on Ahsoka's sign in form.
"Hello. Anakin Skywalker speaking." Said the voice.
"What? How did a Jedi get this number?" The teacher said.
"What do you mean? Who are you and why are you calling?" Said Anakin.
"I'm the teacher of 'The Negative Effects of Caffeine on the Togruta' class. The child Ahsoka Tano has had a severe allergic reaction to the coffee substitute in my class. This number was labeled under the emergency conta-"
"Severe allergic reaction? What happened? Is she ok? What are you going to do?" Anakin yelled into the comlink.
"Settle down. She needs to be sent home. Please come pick her up." The teacher said.
"I'm on my way right now." Anakin said and hung up.
Within minutes a speeder was heard stopping outside. The teacher looked out the door and saw Anakin walking up to the door.
"Where is she?" He said, bursting in.
"She's right here." The teacher said. Ahsoka was standing next to her.
"Ahsoka!" Anakin cried.
"Take her home and be sure she gets plenty to rest. And no coffee! I'm afraid the whole class is to revolve around the uses of my coffee substitute so I'm sorry to say but she won't be able to come back. I'm only doing this for her physical being, I don't want to have to-"
"Don't worry. I don't think we intend to come back." Anakin said darkly.
"Well wonderful then! Have a nice day!" The teacher said.
Anakin walked out the door and was followed closely behind by Ahsoka.
"Are you ok, Snips?" Anakin practically yelled once they got in the speeder.
"Yeah, I'm alright, don't worry about me, Skyguy." She said, lightly scratching the rash on her arm.
"I never want you going back there, ok?" Anakin said. He knew he was doing it again, he was getting overprotective.
"I won't." Ahsoka replied, coughing slightly.
"Now we are going to go straight home and you are going to get some rest, ok?" Anakin said.
"But I'm not tired!" Ahsoka protested.
"Well then you're going to rest on the couch and watch some TV. Something quiet that doesn't involving doing anything." Anakin said.
"Oh fine." Ahsoka mumbled.
They were soon back at the Jedi Temple. Anakin sent Ahsoka to the living room and made sure she had everything she needed to rest comfortably.
Ahsoka turned on the TV and started to watch a movie.
Anakin went into the kitchen to get Ahsoka some soup. "Ahsoka! Where's the soup?" Anakin called.
"If you're trying to get me soup, don't bother! I'm not hungry!" Ahsoka called back.
"Fine," Anakin mumbled.
The door bell rang and Anakin answered it. It was Senator Chuchi. "Hello, Master Skywalker. I was wondering if Ahsoka was here." She said.
"Yeah, she is, but she's not feeling well. Maybe you could come back later." Anakin said.
"Oh, dear, what's wrong with her?" Chuchi asked.
"She got a severe allergic reaction to fake coffee." Anakin said.
"Ok, well I guess I could come back later…" Chuchi said.
"Master, who's that?" Ahsoka called from the living room.
"Um just rest, Ahsoka!" Anakin called back.
"If it's one of my friends send them in here!" Ahsoka said.
Anakin sighed. "I guess you can go see her."
"Thank you," Chuchi said. She went into the living room.
"Chuchi!" Ahsoka cried. "Hi!"
"Hi, Ahsoka," She said. She sat down next to Ahsoka. "Oh, you poor thing!" She said, looking at Ahsoka's rash.
"Come on, it's not that bad," Ahsoka said, coughing.
"It looks pretty bad." Chuchi countered.
"Well it was a lot worse before I got an allergy shot," Ahsoka said.
Chuchi shuddered. "I can't see how it could be worse."
"Aren't you allergic to fake leather?" Ahsoka said.
"Yeah."
"Well it's like that." Ahsoka explained.
Chuchi shuddered again. She hated when she got an allergic reaction to fake leather, so she knew how Ahsoka felt.
The doorbell rang again. Anakin answered it. "Hello?"
It was Barriss. "Hi Master Skywalker. Is Ahsoka here?"
"Yes, but she's not-"
"Master!" Ahsoka called.
"What?" Anakin called back.
"I'm fine, ok?"
"Fine. Go ahead she's in the living room." Anakin said and he went into the kitchen.
Barriss found Ahsoka and Chuchi on the couch.
"So what was with your Master? He seemed to not want to let me in." Barriss said.
Ahsoka groaned. "He's so overprotective," She sighed, "I got a rash from this fake coffee at this class I was going to and now I have to rest. But I can still talk." She said.
Barriss noticed the rash on Ahsoka. She was about to say something, but Ahsoka said, "Don't say it. I know it looks bad and it does itch. But I'm fine otherwise so no more sympathy!"
Barriss laughed. "If you say so."
"So why did you two come over anyway? I mean not that I mind, I'm really bored since I've been sentenced to sitting on this couch all day, but just out of curiosity." Ahsoka said.
"I was bored too." Chuchi admitted.
"I just felt like I should come over here." Barriss said.
"Well I'm glad you did. And ignore my master, he's just being too careful." She said.
"So… what should we do?" Said Chuchi.
"We could play a game?" Barriss suggested.
"That would be fun, but it has to be a game that doesn't require getting off the couch, or my master will have a fit." Ahsoka said, rolling her eyes.
"Don't worry, there are tons of games we can play that don't require getting off the couch." Barriss said.
"Like what?" Chuchi inquired.
"Like… umm, uhhh… umm… errr…." Barriss thought and thought. "I don't know."
"Got any ideas, Ahsoka?" Asked Chuchi.
Ahsoka thought for a moment. "Umm, nope… fresh out of ideas. Sorry." She sighed.
The three sat in silence for a few minutes. Ahsoka coughed again. "I need to get some water," She said.
"Water right here!" Anakin said. He had appeared out of no where holding a glass of water.
"Are you like spying on us?" Ahsoka said to her master, taking the water.
"Spying on you? No!" He lowered his voice, "And if you're bored-"
"You were spying on us!" Ahsoka cried. She took a long sip of the water and set it on the table next to her.
"Was not! I just happened to overhear you! There's a difference." Anakin protested.
"Yeah right. Spying."
"Overhearing!"
"Spying!"
"Overhearing!"
"SPYING!"
"OVERHEARING!"
"GUYS!" Shouted Barriss.
Anakin flushed red. "I'm leaving."
Ahsoka breathed a sigh of relief and wiped her hand over her forehead, wincing as she touched her rash. "That got rid of him." She muttered.
"Let's hope it lasts." Barriss said with a small laugh.
They sat in silence for another two minutes.
"Hey is anyone hungry? I'm getting hungry," Ahsoka said, laying her hand over her stomach.
"I'm kind of hungry," Chuchi said.
"Did someone say they were hungry?" Anakin said, appearing again with a plate of food. "Here ya go!" He set down the plate, which had some cheese, crackers, some sort of exotic fruit, a pitcher of blue milk and some plates, napkins, cups, and other utensils.
"Ok, that was creepy and you were spying again, but thanks." Ahsoka said, reaching for some fruit.
"You're welcome! I'll be listening- I mean here if you need me!" Anakin replied and he left… at least for now.
Ahsoka sighed. "So what should we-"
"Whoa!" Chuchi suddenly cried.
"What is it, Chuchi?" Ahsoka asked.
"It's… it's… snowing!" She breathed.
"What?" Ahsoka and Barriss exclaimed in unison. They jumped up and went to the window. It was, indeed, snowing.
"I thought it was only October!" Barriss said.
"Yeah, I know, just yesterday it was eighty." Ahsoka said.
"Wow, weird weather." Chuchi said.
Anakin ran in. "Ahsoka! Why aren't you resting on the couch?"
"It's snowing, master!" Ahsoka said.
"What? It is?" Anakin said. He looked out the window. "Wow, it is!" Then he turned back to Ahsoka. "But you still need to rest."
Ahsoka sighed. "Alright…" She went back, hopped onto the couch, and covered herself with a warm blanket to fight off the chill of the cool weather.
"Could you make us some hot chocolate, Master?" asked Ahsoka.
"Sure! You three wait right here," Anakin ran off into the kitchen.
"Oooh, hot chocolate!" Barriss said.
"Yummy!" Chuchi agreed.
Anakin came out with three cups of steaming hot chocolate. "Here you go!" He said, handing them the mugs.
"Thank you!" They all said in unison.
Anakin left and Ahsoka took a long sip of the warm hot chocolate. Chuchi looked out the window. "Ahsoka, maybe when you're feeling better we can go outside and play in the snow!" she said, pressing her nose against the window and making the window fog up.
"Yeah!" Ahsoka grinned. Her smile faded. "I wish we could go out now, I mean I feel fine!"
"Well, you know what your master said." Barriss giggled and started to imitate Anakin, "Ahsoka! Why aren't you on the couch?"
Ahsoka and Chuchi started laughing hysterically. "I wasn't spying on you! I just overheard you!" Ahsoka copied him.
"Stay on the couch, Ahsoka!" Chuchi said, trying to pretend to be Anakin.
The laughing stopped abruptly. "He didn't say that." Ahsoka said.
"He didn't?"
"Nope."
"Oh well!"
They all started laughing again. The sun was going down and it was soon dark.
"You guys ready for dinner?" Anakin asked, popping his head into the room.
"Yeah, we're starved!" Ahsoka said.
"YOU'RE STARVING?" Anakin shrieked. "I'm so sorry, Ahsoka! I never meant to starve you! I just thought you would be able to wait for dinner, and-"
"Whoa, chill out, Skyguy!" Ahsoka said, shaking him, "It was just a figure of speech! I mean I am hungry but it's not like I'm dying-"
"YOU'RE DYING!" Anakin fainted.
"No! I'm not dying! Do you have ears?" Ahsoka groaned.
Anakin shot awake. "You're being killed with spears?"
"NO! Oh brother…"
"YOU KILLED MY MOTHER?"
"NOOO! For crying out loud!"
"YOU'RE DYING NOW?"
"AAAHHHH! Some one get me away from this crazy guy!"
Anakin scratched his head. "You live in a bay and you're a lazy fry?"
Ahsoka slapped herself in the face. "You. Are. Nuts!" She said through clenched teeth.
"You want to punch my guts?" Anakin screamed like a five year old and jumped up to grab onto the light.
"Get a life,"
"GET A WIFE?" Anakin screamed. He began to stomp towards Ahsoka like a madman. "AREN'T YOU AWARE THAT I ALREADY HAVE A WIFE?"
"WHAT?" Ahsoka yelled. She groaned. "Just go make dinner."
"I'm aware that I'm a winner."
"Can you hear?"
"YOU HAVEN'T EATEN ALL YEAR!"
"JUST GO!"
"Eat snow?"
"NOOOO!"
"Show?"
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Glow?"
"YOU'RE INSANE!"
"YOU STOLE MY NAME?"
"GUUUYYYSSS!" Chuchi shouted at the top of her lungs.
"You want fries?" Anakin pulled two pink foam objects from his ears.
Ahsoka fainted. "You had your earplugs in?" Barriss cried incredulously.
"Sure! How else would I be able to make blended soup if I had to listen to the annoying blender!" He went into the kitchen and came out with a platter of soup and bowls. He set it on the table. "Dinner's ready!" He called.
Ahsoka's eyes fluttered open and she looked around. "What happened?" She mumbled, rubbing her head.
"Oh, nothing…. nothing at all." Barriss assured her.
They sat down at the table. "What kind of soup is this, Master?" said Ahsoka, sipping it from her spoon.
"You're favorite," Anakin said.
"You mean… sweet potato soup?"
"No, you're other favorite… or at least I thought it was your favorite…"
Ahsoka studied the soup. "You mean pumpkin soup?"
"Yeah! Yeah, yeah that's it." Anakin said, eating some more.
"Oh, ok. It's good!" Ahsoka said.
"Yes, very good." Chuchi agreed.
Barriss didn't say anything because she was eating the soup, and very much liking it.
The four finished dinner and Anakin brought out warm brownies for dessert.
"Mmmmmmm," The girls said in unison.
The four ate the brownies until they were so full that Ahsoka thought if she ate another crumb she would explode.
Chuchi and Barriss said goodbye and left.
Anakin leaned back in his chair and sighed happily. He looked at Ahsoka. "Hey! Your rash is gone!"
Ahsoka studied her arms. "You're right!"
"Tomorrow, we play in the snow!" Anakin said, pumping his fist in the air.
"Yeah!" Ahsoka said.
So they hurriedly got their pajamas on and brushed their teeth. They said goodnight and crawled into their beds.
They fell asleep instantly.
Anakin yawned. Was it morning already? He checked his clock. Yep, it was seven o'clock in the morning. He hopped out of bed and put on his slippers.
He was about to walk into the kitchen when he heard something.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" It was a scream from the other side of the room.
"Ahsoka!" Anakin shouted.
Tada! that's chapter 6! Stay tuned to find out more...
