Location: Somewhere in the spaceport... Somewhere...

Paco ran faster, his arms pumping at his sides. Good grief, how many storm troopers were there in this place? Dodging some random blaster fire, he ducked behind a building. When the stormtroopers had tried to stop the Millenium Falcon, everyone had gotten onboard. Well, sort of. It almost figured that he would be the one who got cornered and chased across Tatooine. Vaguely, he wondered if they had taken off without him. They probably had. Now how was he going to get off this plan-

CRASH!

He suddenly found himself on the floor. That had to have been a concussion.

"Oops! Sorry about that! Wasn't looking where I was going, really. Stormtroopers, you know. Apparently they don't get along to well with C4 teddy. Hang on a second... Is that you, Paco?"

Paco opened his eyes and looked up at Carys.

"Okay then! Come on, Paco, let's go! We've got a ship to steal!"

And before he knew it, he had been dragged to his feet and once again was running through the space port, although this time with Carys by his side.

"What do you mean when you say 'Ship to steal?"

Still running, Carys flicked his nose.

"Um, ow?"

"Silly. Han probably left. He should know by now that it isn't that easy to get rid of me. So we're going to out run these soldiers, steal a ship, and catch up to him!"

Even while dodging more blaster fire, Paco felt sorry for Han Solo.

Suddenly, a group of more Storm troopers came from another street and cornered them.

"Raise your hands, you're under arrest" they intoned.

With a worried look, the earthlings did as told.

Meanwhile, far, far, far away on the death star, Tenko Takara was facing a very similar situation.

Location: Death Star

"Rasie your hands, you're under arrest!" Screeched Darth Vader.

Tenko looked around her. She was surronded by, let's see... Approximately 8, 372 Storm Troopers. Yeah, that sounded about right. Note the word surronded.

Yes, believe it or not, after 1 and a half months of chasing her around, Tenko Takara had finally been surrounded. Tenko's genius mathy/strategy-y mind knew that this time, she probably wouldn't be able to escape. Or would she?

Her thinking was interrupted when Vader broke through the circle and walked towards her.

"So, this is what's been causing all this trouble for so long. You know, I really ought to kill you right now."

Tenko blinked. That was a little OOC. Vader continued on.

"However, I sense the force in you." To the side, one of the stormtroopers groaned. Not the force, again. He was quickly strangled by Vader, who force-strangled him with one hand and held the other out to Tenko."

"Come and join the dark side."

"..."

"We have cookies."s

"..."

Tenko stood, deep in thought. While Vader may have been severely OOC, he had actually offered her a chance to be on the dark side... Was it worth it?

"Eh, give me a moment. I need to think it over."

So Tenko sat down on the ground, in the middle of all 8,371 Storm Troopers (for Vader had strangled one) and Vader and began to think.

A couple hours later, she stood up.

"Sure! Why not? It sounds fun. And I do have a soft spot for cookies."

Location: Millenium Falcon, one day later.

Obi-Wan staggered to the side.

"I feel a strange disturbance in the force, as if millions of voices cried out at once and then were silenced."

Sean blinked.

"It's funny you should say that. I'm getting a strange feeling that someone is eating cookies."

A.N.- Hi again! Hehe, internet is back up and I have nothing to do, hence the uncommon weekend update! Ahhh... so, Paco and Carys are stuck (or are they?), Sean is sensing things, and Tenko is eating cookies. Lucky girl. I want cookies.

Mmmm, cookies. Yummy, chocolate melty golden buttery sugary chewy or crunchy delicious sweet cookies fresh out of oven hot...

Now I want cookies. I wonder if Vader will give me cookies, too? Who knows. Anyways, with love,

thearpsorceress.
