Hello everyone! My half term holiday starts today!! yay!!! whist getting this chapter off my floppy disk I found the stupid thing had deleted half of the story!!! It was horrible. I basically searched all of this computer and all my floppy disks for a more complete copy (I haven't actually finished this story yet) of the story and luckily found it on the harddrive of a laptop. But a bit was missing so i spent the whole of that night re-writing it, I was so tired.
Anyway thank you for the reviews they help me write and update quicker.
Disclaimer: If I owned Star Wars COPL wouldn't have been published.
The party continues...
Chapter 21
"How's mecha-teddy coming?" Wes asked Indigo, who was busy wiring up a remote.
"It's coming along great, we should be able to put it into action in about 5 minutes," she muttered carefully soldering two green wires together with the globs of silver metal.
"This is going to be great!" Wes said excitedly doing a strange dance, until Tiberion crawled out from under the table and he tripped over him and fell flat on his face, "that hurt," he muttered trying to get up, but failing miserably.
"So what's happening over here?" Isolder asked pretending to be interested, in front of him was Indigo busily soldering some wire together, Wes lying on the floor running his hands through his hair to rub the part of his head he hit. Slumped over the table, obviously asleep was Holly, her hair falling over her face. Isolder jumped as something stuck into his ankle, he looked down in surprise to see Tiberion pull his tail spikes from his foot and lash his tail like a wipe, sticking the spines in again. Screaming Isolder ran off, blood trickling out his ankle. When she heard the scream Holly jerked awake and looked around.
"What the hell happened?" she asked stretching her arms above her head.
"Isolder," Wedge muttered, Holly looked down and saw her dragon licking blood off is tail and figured out what had happened.
"Got it!" Indigo shouted suddenly in joy making the others jump out their skins, "We can go now." Nodding Holly slide out her seat and walked up the pillar next to them and flicked a small catch open, a hidden door creaked ajar. Indigo pressed a green button. Mechanical sounds came from inside the pillar; Indigo smiled evilly and quickly pushed an arrow pointing away from her. The thing inside started to walk slowly forward, pushing the door opened, and then suddenly it appeared. Isolder's Sweethearts Day present to Leia began to progress slowly to the dance floor where the Prince was dancing with Mon Mothma. Holly could barely control her giggles and Wes was rolling around on the floor with laughter.
"MUMMY!" The bear said in a small sweet voice from a child's doll; however it had been amplified so it reverberated around the room. There was suddenly utter silence apart from the heavy footsteps from mecha-teddy and a small table at the back who were laughing their heads off. Where Leia had shot its face off two small red lights had been hung on wire to replace the eyes and some badly bent metal gave the thing a mouth. Indigo steered the bear towards Isolder and made it hold its arms out in front of it, "MUMMY!" It said again, "I LOVE YOU MUMMY!" Leia heard some stifled giggles next to her and looked to see Han going red with the effort of keeping his laughter under control, the people on the back table where now beside themselves with laughter, Wes was now in tears of laughter and Holly was almost up to that stage. Isolder backed away in slight fear of the bear which now was speeding up to get to him. "MUMMY! HUG ME!" It slowly approached him and stopped. "MUMMY! I LOVE YOU MUMMY!"
"I-I-I'm not your mummy," Isolder stammered.
"THEN WE SHOULD GET MARRIED!" The bear boomed and Isolder went bright red. "LET'S PLAY MUMMIES AND DADDIES! YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND!"
"Um, I can't marry you," Isolder told the bear unsurely.
"WHY NOT?" The bear sounded sad.
"Because I'm going to marry someone already!" Isolder called up to the bear.
"WHO?"
"Leia Organa," Isolder told the bear. Han stopped laughing and put his arm around Leia protectively.
"NO YOU'RE NOT, COME ON! WE HAVE TO GET MARRIED; YOU'RE GOING TO BE MY HUSBAND!" Holly glanced at Indigo as she was unsure how the bear could actually be saying this. Indigo winked, looking scarily like Han, and carried on talking into a microphone which she had installed.
"I can't marry you," Isolder stated shortly.
"WHY NOT!!" The bear was getting angry.
"You're a bear, for gods sake!" Isolder shouted and the bear went quiet.
"YOU HATE ME THEN!" Mecha-teddy cried.
"No, no." Indigo steered the teddy towards the door in a sulk. Wes was almost wetting himself.
"I HATE YOU!" Indigo made the teddy boom. A noble at the back's shoulders were shaking slightly and soon the hall was full of laughter, mocking the son of their hostess. It was obvious that the party was finished.
"That," Wes said as they made their way back down the red carpet, "that was the funniest thing that I've ever seen. Isolder was sexually harassed by a six foot, pink teddy bear with no face. I can see the headlines now."
"Did you see Ta'a Chume's face?" Holly laughed as they got off the carpet; the press had long since abandoned it.
"Did you see her face when you turned up? She looked like she was about to explode," Indigo giggled, still holding the remote. "Oh, I just remembered. You wanna see what teddy sees?" They all gave her strange looks. "I installed a camera in its head." They all nodded enthusiastically and Indigo flipped a switch and the screen on the remote came to life to show Isolder and mecha-teddy in Isolder's room. Isolder was pouring out his heart to the pink bear.
"When I was five," he moaned.
"He obviously hasn't noticed that it stopped talking ages ago," Indigo shrugged and switched on the microphone again.
"I'M SO SORRY ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENED TO YOU ISOLDER, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN JUST TAKE A WOMAN FROM HER TRUE LOVE," teddy boomed soothingly. Holly signaled to Indigo that she wanted to say something. The remote was passed over.
"WHEN DID YOU FIRST REALIZE THAT YOU WERE THE LEAST INTELLIGENT BEING IN THE UNIVERSE?" She asked with no decorum.
"When my mother yelled at me for saying something stupid to an ambassador!" Isolder suddenly bust into tears. Indigo maneuvered the teddy so it would give the man a hug, almost squashing him...
"I think we ought to shut it down," Indigo finally said.
"PRINCE ISOLDER!" The teddy boomed, "YOU HAVE BEEN PART OF AN ELABORATE PLAN TO MAKE YOU LOOK STUPID AND TO GET YOU TO LEAVE LEIA ALONE. PLEASE DON'T GO TOO FAR WITH THIS BEAR." And the bear switched off, the group all laughed at Isolder's face and walked back to their homes.
