Whoa, this is a long one! Who's up for some Monopoly? Hey, Pergjithshme: Remember how you wanted a board game night? How's about we combine board games and video games in an epic round of Monopoly for the Wii? I'm sure everybody has played the classic board game that is still extremely popular (I saw a Star Wars Monopoly in Wal-Mart once, but it disappeared and I haven't seen it since). Well, who here has played it on the Wii? It's pretty much the same except awesomer. XD

Ali Night: I'll play it by ear. As of right now, I have a general idea of where I want to go with this fic. I'm always open to suggestions, though.

AdenaWolf: No way! You were seriously playing Skyward Sword before you read it? Epic awesomeness! FICITONFORCE OF AWESOMENESS has a great ring to it! That made me happy. Great review, thanks!

Cult of Personality: Ha! I so wish I'd included that. Classic epic pwnage.

FireZenzizenzizenzic: I loved the parts where Zelda pushed Link. Talk about hilarious. I'm keeping the pwning equal for the most part, but it IS really fun to pick on Mace. Love the idea of Anakin not turning to the dark side! I'll go with the clone idea—it was the cloners on Kamino! Aha! The secret has been revealed! The cloners killed Anakin and replaced him with the clone—poor Obi thought he was losing his brother to the Sith. Now I wish that it really happened that way cuz I love Anakin to pieces. XD

Master Esso Antos: Thanks! I'll keep 'em coming as long as people keep giving positive feedback.

AaylaKit: I like the Twilight books, and the movies are okay. I can see both points of view, though (the people who love them and the people who hate them). I've decided to be impartial when it comes to Twilight but yeah, I think it is pretty annoying that everyone is going gaga over it. And don't get me started on Justin Bieber. *Shivers* KIT CAN NEVER BE PWNED indeed! Thanks for that.

Ayy Kaim: I've never played Skyward Sword either. My sister has. She loves it. Based on the videos I saw, it looks like a lot of fun. I don't think you'll be disappointed with this chapter as far as Kit is concerned.

Fiction-Aficionada: Hello and welcome back to Pwning and Gaming! Glad you like it. I try to make it as realistic as possible, though I haven't played half these games. And I know absolutely nothing about Kingdom Hearts. Next time we hang, maybe you could give me the rundown.

Anakin hit the Home button and returned to the Wii Menu, initiating different reactions from each of the Jedi in the room.

"Well? What happens next?" Obi-Wan demanded, leaning forward. "Is Zelda alright? Will Link find her?"

Kit and Ahsoka murmured protest, but they didn't seem to mind that the game was over for now, considering they'd both played it before.

"Don't tell us," Ahsoka said. "I haven't gotten very far yet. I don't want to know how it ends until I get there!"

"I was going to say that you'll all have to find out when you play it yourselves," Anakin said, beaming. "Sorry, Master, but we'd have to spend three days straight on this game to beat it. No joke. I love gaming as much as you do, but we have to move on if we want to play our way through most of this stack. Plus, I don't really feel like playing Legend of Zelda for three whole days, fun as it is."

Mace and Obi-Wan looked disappointed. They had just learned a thing or two about Legend of Zelda and did not appreciate their lesson being abruptly ended. Yoda was amused by their expressions. Saesee walked by again, glanced at the pair, and put a hand nonchalantly over his mouth to conceal a smirk.

"Want to join us, Master Tiin?" Ahsoka asked.

"Yeah, you've been walking by a lot," Anakin added. "You know you want to."

Saesee shrugged. "I won't disrupt your gaming sessions, but I wouldn't mind looking into your thoughts. I've found it entertaining."

Kit laughed. "You would."

"The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma," Anakin said seriously, purposefully using long words.

Kit gasped. Ahsoka just grinned. "There's a first time for everything, right? My Master is full of surprises."

Anakin snorted. "Much appreciated. Now, without further ado, let's get back to our gaming streak."

"How many have we played so far?" Mace asked. "Isn't it getting late?"

Anakin shrugged. "Who cares what time it is? I'm not stopping now. You guys can leave if you want. This whole thing started with me and Obi-Wan playing a game of MarioKart. Remember?"

"That was a long time ago," Obi-Wan remarked.

"My point exactly." Anakin knelt down beside the Wii and searched through the stack.

"We could play a board game," Mace suggested.

"No way," Anakin said, not looking up from the search. After a moment's pause, he had a light bulb moment. "Mace, you're a genius! No. Ew. If anyone asks, I'll deny that I said that. Anyway. Who's up for a board game—Wii style?"

"Board games for the Wii?" Ahsoka asked, tilting her head to one side.

Anakin nodded. "Monopoly Streets! Who here has played the board game? Anyone?"

"Everyone's played it," Saesee said to save response time, "except Boring and Boringer over there."

Anakin laughed. "Nice parody of Dumb and Dumber, Master Tiin. I applaud you. I'd say that you have achieved the awesomeness status. Kit?"

Kit nodded. "Definitely."

"So, Monopoly Streets is just like regular Monopoly except way cooler. You choose a character, start with $1,500, buy and sell properties, build them up with houses and hotels, and try to impoverish the other players. Easy enough, right?"

"Impoverish is a long word, Anakin," Obi-Wan informed him.

Anakin rolled his eyes. "I've got to stop doing that. Any questions? Oh, right. Jail. If you get sent to jail, you have to either sit there or pay the $50 bail."

"Excuse me?" A new voice came from the hallway, interrupting Anakin's instructions session. Two familiar figures stepped into the room, dressed formally and looking rather important. "Did you call my name?" the first inquired.

Anakin didn't speak. His eyes were on the speaker's companion. Obi-Wan, noticing Anakin's gaze, refrained from rolling his eyes.

Mace dipped his head in greeting. "Hello, Senator Organa. Senator Amidala."

Bail Organa's gaze flickered to the game in Anakin's hand. "Is that Monopoly?"

Anakin broke his gaze away from Padmé. He didn't want to look obvious. "Yes, Senator, it is." A sly smile spread across his face. "You wouldn't want to play, would you?"

Bail laughed. "I haven't played that game in years."

"You've played?" Anakin turned once again to Padmé. He kept his gaze nothing more than coolly friendly. "What about you?"

Padmé smiled. "No, I haven't. I've played the board game, though. Bail beats me every time."

Anakin nodded thoughtfully. "I'm sure if he played a Jedi, he would lose miserably."

"I wouldn't deny that," the Alderaanian Senator agreed.

"Enough talk; let's play," Kit said seriously. "I want to get some major pwnage in. I'm definitely playing the first round."

"Alright," Anakin said. "Since I've been in most if not all of the games sofar, I'll sit this one out. Senators? This is your last chance."

Bail smiled good-naturedly. "Alright."

"Ahsoka?" The Togruta apprentice nodded. "Okay, that's Kit, Ahsoka, Bail, and…? Mace?" Anakin turned to the Korun Master hopefully.

Mace shook his head. "I'll pass."

"Obi-Wan? Yoda?"

Obi-Wan frowned. "No, I'd rather not."

"You are not afraid of being pwned by a Senator, are you?" Bail challenged, grinning.

Obi-Wan, who didn't particularly like politicians much, shrugged. He thought a lot of Organa, though, and soon decided that he didn't want to lose face in front of a pair of Senators. "Just don't give me a girly character, Anakin."

Anakin, who had planned on setting his former Master up with the little girl in the shoe, looked rather disappointed. Saesee snorted, picking up Anakin's squished intentions. Ahsoka sensed her mentor's idea, too. "The shoe is mine, Sky Guy," she said.

"Fair enough." When they got to the character selection screen, Anakin set everyone up with a character token thingy. Kit was the Racecar with the driver, Ahsoka was, of course, the little girl in the Shoe, Obi-Wan was the Cop Hat with the officer, and Bail went with the Battleship with the admiral.

"Nice choice," Anakin commented. "I always pick the Battleship—he's awesome, isn't he?"

Bail murmured agreement.

The game began with $1,500 dollars each. Obi-Wan raised an eyebrow. "Why not use credits?"

Anakin shrugged. "Beats me. Maybe the creators of the game come from a place that doesn't use them. Legend of Zelda uses rupees. Now shut up and get ready to play." The smile on the Jedi Knight's face revealed that he was joking.

The four players rolled the dice to determine who would go first. Obi-Wan got the highest, Kit second, Bail third, and Ahsoka fourth. "The dice-throwing is the only thing you will be winning," Kit promised Obi-Wan.

"Very reassuring," the Jedi Master replied. His first roll was a five, taking him to the Reading Railroad.

"If I was playing, I'd kill you if you bought that," Anakin said.

"I take it railroads are valuable," Obi-Wan said.

"Let's just say that whoever owns all four owns a pretty good advantage over the other players."

"I'll take it, then," Obi-Wan decided, forking over $200 to the bank.

"Don't give him tips!" Kit exclaimed, rounding on Anakin.

"Why? Do you think I'd be able to help him beat you guys? Are you suggesting I'm better than you, Kit?"

Kit made a face. "Of course not. Give him all the tips you want. He's still not beating me."

"I'll go easy on you, Master Kenobi," Bail reassured Obi-Wan, sounding sincere.

"Are you just using one of your political mind tricks, Senator?" Obi-Wan asked dryly.

Bail raised an eyebrow. "Wouldn't you know if I was? Your Jedi mind tricks are much more sophisticated than mine."

"Let's get a move on," Kit said impatiently.

"It's your turn, Master Fisto," Ahsoka pointed out. "We're all waiting for you."

Kit smiled. "Oh, yeah. Right." His first roll was a ten. "Just Visiting," he said. "There's no way anyone's sending me to jail."

"Just for that, I am sure you will end up in jail at some point in the near future," Bail said with certainty. "Just wait and see."

"You believe in Karma, do you?" Kit challenged.

"I didn't say that," the Senator replied. "Just don't jinx yourself. It usually ends badly."

"Just roll," Kit said. "I'll prove you wrong later."

Bail nodded and did so without further comment, landing on Oriental Avenue. Once he paid $100, Ahsoka began her turn. She landed on St. Charles Place.

"I love the pink ones," she said. "They don't seem important at first, but once they've got hotels, they can be pretty deadly."

"Which is why I'll have to make sure you don't get three of any kind," Kit said. "You're my primary competition."

Bail laughed. "Go ahead and disregard me. You won't be laughing when I pwn you when you least expect it."

"This is a game of concentration," Kit said. "It takes a great deal of sensitivity with the Force to master this."

"This is a game of strategy," Bail countered, "and sheer luck. The Force has nothing to do with it."

Kit turned away to face the other two opponents. "He's a non-believer."

Bail rolled his eyes. "I did not say that. Getting back to the game, I believe it is Master Kenobi's turn."

Thus, the game continued. Ahsoka somehow managed to own all three of the pink properties and build houses on them. Bail quietly took the two smallest properties, Baltic and Mediterranean Avenue, and built them up. It wasn't long before the three unsuspecting Jedi landed on the senator's newly-built hotels.

Padmé smiled. "Politicians aren't completely useless," she commented. "We've got tricks up our sleeves that even Jedi can't foresee."

Anakin nodded. "Silent but deadly. Never underestimate the power of the diplomat."

"Senators are anything but silent, Anakin," Obi-Wan said.

"You can say that again," Bail agreed. "The members of the Senate debate each other to death every day."

No one commented. It was a common fact. The game went on with Obi-Wan owning three railroads, Bail silently pwning, Anakin giving out tips to the players now and then, and Kit sitting mutinously in jail.

"Jail is a good strategy," Bail pointed out. "You can sit back and relax while others land on your properties."

Kit pouted. "Yeah, but I'm also stuck watching everyone else buy all the properties."

"Judging by the way we're going, it won't be long before everything will be bought," Ahsoka said.

"It's my turn," Kit said, "and I want Boardwalk. Who's got it?" Bail remained silent. He was not interested in giving up his most prized possession. Kit sensed Bail's change in disposition immediately and turned to face him. "Cough it up," he said.

"With all due respect, Master Fisto…no. It's mine."

Kit closed his eyes and probed the senator's mind. "You will give me Boardwalk."

Bail Organa's eyes glazed over. "Yes, Master. I will give you Boardwalk immediately…" Kit grinned smugly. "…in your dreams." Kit's smile disappeared and went to Bail. "Did you really think that your forceful persuasion could work on me? My mind is much too complex for your Jedi Mind Tricks. On that note, you will give me Park Place."

"And why do you think for one second that I'll do that?"

"Because I have $2,000 at my disposal."

"Are you insane, Senator? Park Place is only worth $350! Where'd you get all that money?"

"I told you I would come up behind you and silently pwn," he replied matter-of-factly, "and that is exactly what I did. Now, about my offer?"

Kit glanced at the meager amount of money he had in his account. $2000 would certainly be nice. He'd spent so much money on higher-end properties and rents that he hardly had anything left. If he were to land on one of Ahsoka's hotels, he would go bankrupt for sure. What was Park Place worth on its own, anyway? If he took the money from Bail, then the senator wouldn't have enough to build houses on his new property anyway. This deal could save Kit's butt. Having deliberated this, he finally accepted the offer. "I'll probably regret this," the Nautolan murmured.

And so it continued. Obi-Wan went bankrupt first, leaving his railroads up for grabs. The remaining three players were pretty intent on getting them, though Bail knew he could live without them. With Boardwalk and Park Place under his belt, he had to save up some money to build the properties up. He found it ironic that he was pwning the others with the smallest and largest properties on the board. Things would certainly get interesting from here: hopefully in his favor.

Ahsoka was the next one to get eliminated. The disappointment on her face was apparent as Bail and Kit fought to get her pink properties. The competition grew more and more intense as the senator and the Jedi Master fought to the death. Well, not really. I was just being dramatic for the sake of hilarity and edge-of-your-seat anticipation. Back to the story.

"If you land on my hotels, you are in for it."

"How did you get hotels on Boardwalk and Park Place?" Kit complained.

"Because I was the one to make Ahsoka and Obi-Wan go bankrupt. Their money was mine to use for property improvements. Naturally, my first step was to build up my strongest weapon to make it deadlier."

"Jerk," Kit mumbled.

"No, strategist."

"You're going down."

"You're the one who's about to land on Boardwalk," Bail said innocently.

"What?" Kit directed his attention back to the game. The dice did indeed indicate that he would land on Boardwalk. With $2001 exactly, Kit was not in good shape. "I'll have to mortgage if I land on anything else of yours," he complained. "I'm left with $1! What am I supposed to do with that?"

Bail didn't answer. He was too busy relishing in the moment of near-victory…until he landed on Atlantic Avenue. Kit's property had three houses on it, making Bail $800 poorer. Kit let out a breath of relief as he passed GO. Bail rolled again and got Snake Eyes. Marvin Gardens. Kit's other three-house property.

"How is it that you still have those?" he demanded. "You're supposed to be near-bankrupt."

Kit shrugged. "I'm not the only one that silently pwns. You should've been more observant. If you were paying attention, you'd know I didn't mortgage those yet."

Bail sighed. He'd been paying close attention to the game the whole time, but he hadn't kept track of Kit's mortgaging process, nor did he know how many houses the Jedi had on his properties.

"If you were more in-tuned with the Force," Kit added innocently, "you'd be able to answer those questions for yourself. I know exactly how many properties you have and how many hotels/houses you have on each one."

Bail sighed. Kit had been right earlier; this game did have a certain requirement of strength in the Force, which he lacked. As the game went on, he found himself paying Kit more and more money. His breaking point was one of the cards, revealing that he had to pay general repairs. Meaning that each house cost $25 and each hotel cost $100. That finished him.

"Pwned!" Kit proclaimed. "Strategy game indeed! I beat you all, just as I said I would."

Bail held out a hand to shake Kit's. "Good game," he said neutrally.

Kit held out a hand to shake back, then pulled it away quickly. "Too slow!"

The senator shrugged, unfazed. "I admire the Jedi," he said. "I always have."

Padmé nodded agreement, her eyes flickering to Anakin. "They truly are remarkable, aren't they?"

I do not own Monopoly Streets, nor do I own "The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma" by Patrick Star. The Dumb and Dumber allusion isn't mine either.
