Sorry it took so long for an update! I am throwing myself everywhere; five classes in a row on Mondays and Wednesdays, then work and a rather hectic social life to the point where I just wanna quit... -.- Yeah, 'tis sucks. But here it is! An update! ZOMG!

Warning: 'Tis be a filler cause ya know, I have just had very little time to myself, and when I have, my muse decided to be a witch and teleport away. So this is also very short.

Reviews:

Boba Princess: That's what I was thinking! Cause ya know, they already think she's a menace or something. =)

Skurosagi: Hehe, it seemed like something Alec would so say. And I like me some double meanings too.

Terelex: Why thank you, I love this idea too! (Lets spread the word so we may get more crossovers!)

Now since only two people gave suggestions, and they were both colors I liked and wanted, I went with one of them. We get to see her color today. Yay! Now onward!


"Is he coming yet? I thought he said he'd be here at this time." Alec paced the apartment building back and forth as they waited for Anakin. "You think the kid would be on time."

Max rolled her eyes at his whining as she played with the crystals in her hand. She had two different ones, just in case she couldn't have one she had a back up. "Chill, he'll be here; probably got stuck with Obi-Wan or something." At that very moment she heard a ring come from the door, "Told ya."

Alec grumbled as he opened the door, "Hey squirt. We were beginning to think you got lost."

He rolled his eyes, "Not at all. My master held me longer than expected." He set what appeared to be a toolbox on the table, "And I had to stop to get supplies."

"Great. SO…"

"Lets get started Max. This might take a while, depending on your pace. Ow! What was that for?"

Max crossed her arms giving him a look.

"Ahaha! Are you trying to get her in one of her, 'anything you can do, I can do better' moods?" Alec smirked as he dodged a smack from her, "Ha. Missed me." A moment later he yelped as something small and hard connected with his head before landing on the ground. He gave her a look as he bent to pick up a bright red crystal, "That hurt you know."

"Good." Max turned to Anakin as he cleared his throat and stared at the crystal, "What?"

"You are planning on having a red lightsaber?" he asked suddenly.

"Yes. I like red, looks good on me." She gave him a look that just dared him to contradict her.

"Well, obviously you haven't noticed or been paying attention. Jedi do not use red. It is a Sith color, one that befalls only one who is one with the dark side of the force."

"Yeah well I'm technically not a Jedi so I figured maybe I could give it shot. I mean, what is everyone going to do? Burn me at the stake just 'cause I happen to want a red one? I mean, that would be worse persecution than the witch hunts." Anakin appeared confused at that, "Never mind; so no on the red?" At his nod she pouted, "Really?" At his other nod she sighed, "Fine." Grumbling she took out a dark looking stone, "How about this? Your blue was never my kind of blue." She quickly handed it to him.

He felt it as he studied it for a moment before nodding, "It is acceptable. Now lets get started. This will take a while and I wish to get it done as soon as possible." At her nod he began to explain the different mechanics used to create a saber as well as why things went the way they did and how they affected the weapon. Max honestly believed it would have been extremely more difficult than it was. She was relieved when she realized with some more practice she could make one on her own as well as care for hers on her own without much assistance from Anakin. She noticed Alec never left the room and did not necessarily hover, but he was never far away. She had a feeling he was watching them and was trying to learn as well.

"I should be heading out. My Master will begin to wonder were I have gone."

"Yeah I guess you're right. I'm a bit tired of all this building and learning. Though it isn't as complicated as I would've expected."

"Yes well I've been using terms that even a Gungan would be able to excel." He smirked remembering Jar-Jar Binks. "Perhaps that has something to do with it?" He smiled innocently, which earned him a smack, "Heh, I'll see you later. Night you two. Try not to mess with it till I come back. Don't break it." With a final wave he left.

"Alone at-"

SMACK.

"OW! What was that for?!"

"For what ever you were about to say."

He growled a bit before rolling his eyes, "Come on now. I think someone might actually need some rest." She gave him a look but did nothing, "Well come on now." He placed an arm around her as he leads her into her room. "That way you'll stop being cranky. If that's even possible that is."

She chuckled a bit, "I think so. Now take your arm off me before I break it off." It was off faster than she could say 'X5.' She smirked, "Ah scared?"

"No not at all. Just remembered you never were one to play fair."

"Damn straight."

Alec headed into his room a bit quickly, "Well glad to know your new toy is at least coming along. You even have it in a shape you enjoy already." He heard something hit the door hard and was suddenly glad he had got into his room before opening his mouth, "Night Max."


(a few months earlier)

"Something happened. They're both missing and Max wouldn't leave without telling someone. Something happened."

"She probably just bolted. Didn't want to deal with us."

"No! She would never do that. OC knows her boo, she would never do that."

"But after everything…"

"Everything?"

"Nothing."

"Boy you tell me what's going on before Original Cindy lays the smack down on your ass, X5 or not."

"Well…There's been talk about a mutiny. It's been pretty obvious it was going to happen sooner or later. Not a lot of people believed she was right for the job."

"So lemme get this straight: The one who freed your assess and went through hell to make sure you were all ok, the one that busted her ass these last couple of months trying to feed and care for you, who has been stressing her pretty little head to figure out how to make ends meet, the one that would die for you all bitches, is the one you feel is not right for the job? Damn, that's cold."

"…W-well."

"No, there is no excuse. She has bailed everyone here at least once. She prevented a lot of shit from going down, shit some of you don't even know about. And this is how you repay her? Shit that is beyond fucked up. OC is disgusted with you all. I thought that place had at least taught you loyalty in your friends, er, comrades. And trust to them."

"Who are you to judge us?"

"You're just a human! Why are you even here?"

"So who is the prejudice bitch now?"

"…"

"Exactly. Now you better find Max quick. Alec disappearing too is probably not a coincidence. That freaky cult probably has something to do with it. Well don't just stand there. Move!"


"It seems ready. Turn it on."

Breath held, she pressed the red button and a beam as dark as night shot out. It hummed a bit as she held onto her weapon; it felt so right in her hands. She gave it a few swings as she quickly got the feel for it. She loved it, it was absolutely perfect. The way it fit in her hand, it was hers.

"Max?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you having fun with it already?"

"Ow!"

"Its done. Now all you have to worry about is everyone realizing you have one."

"I know. If they ask I was in the library and read up on it." She stared at the dark light, "Thanks Anakin." She turned to him with a bright smile, "Really. I don't think I could've done it without you." He smirked, "Well at least this soon anyway."

He frowned a bit before rolling his eyes and grinning, "So you will be teaching me some of your moves right?"

"Of course. We made a deal. When do you want to start?"

"Well we shouldn't be going on any missions too soon but why chance it? How about tomorrow an hour after we finish with Obi-Wan?"

"Sure. If you want we can even start today."

"No, I want to teach you the basics first. I can't have you cutting yourself or someone else in two now can I?"

She chuckled at that, "No I suppose not. Alright. So we alternate then. Today you teach me, tomorrow I teach you. And we abide by the others rules. Deal?"

"Deal."

"Good. So let me know when and I'll meet you."

"Alright. Well I'll see you in a few hours. I'll let you know the time. See ya."

"Later Anakin."

Max turned to Alec, "So think you can build your own?"

He shrugged, "Maybe. But I don't know…It's not really my kind of weapon as it seems yours. I mean; your eyes literally lit up when you first turned it on. No I think I might just stick with a good old gun, er, blaster."

"I guess." She sighed, "I just wish I didn't have to keep it a secret for now. But I should wait and tell Obi-Wan first rather than just have it on me out in the open and be like, 'Hey I got one and what?' Then he can tell the council. Cause I ain't doing it."

"Heh, rather take on Lydecker than them?"

She snorted, "I rather take on White and his crazy cult than them. At least the cult has its twisted rules and twisted values. But they at least kinda know they are twisted." She glanced at the door Anakin had left through, "Its not right…I read they take kids as young as toddlers. Train them away from their family with little to no contact…"

"Max."

"I know. But I can't help but compare them. And those rules are so stupid."

"I know. But we are outsiders in this world, what we believe is wrong is not with them."

"I know…"

He hugged her, "We can't change it. Besides, as soon as we figure out how, we'll be returning to earth. So there is no point getting all worked up over this. Let it go."

She closed her eyes breathing until all her frustration left her. "Thanks."

"No problem. I know how you feel."

"Hn…Hey Alec?"

"Yeah?"

"You can let go of me now."

"Right. Sorry."

"Its ok. Anyway, what do you think has been going on back home?"

"They probably realize we're missing."

"Think Original Cindy has laid the smack down yet?"

"She probably has or has threatened to."

"Haha, that's just like her too."


OK, that's it. Was gonna add a bit more but I figured it would feel funky to end it there so yeah. It'll be saved for the next chapter, maybe. =/ I know the scene from OC fit in weird, but this is kinda a filler. And well...idk. Hope the lightsaber color was ok, I actually like it.

Well, hope ya enjoyed it. Reviews would be nice, they'd cheer up my lousy days suffering from life. Well, bye people.
