Episode 3 - Macie / Disturbance in the Force


Mace: So, Obi-Wan, what do you call this method of training your padawans?
Obi: We were... Uh.. testing each other's reactions... by uh.. throwing food...
Mace: Very interesting. I believe Master Yoda wishes to speak with you.
Taysh: *sing- song* Obi-Wan's in trouble!
Erra: It wasn't Kenobi's fault, Windu. Taysh started the fight. She's totally uncontrollable!
Taysh: But you didn't let me eat your food!
Erra: See what I mean?
Taysh: Macie, do you wanna play pretty princesses again?
Mace: I... Must be leaving now.
Taysh: You're no fun, Macie! Remember that time we saved the handsome prince Yoda from the clutches of the EVIL Jedi Council?
Mace: I don't recall... EVER do anything of that nature.
Taysh: Liar!
Si'Tri: TAYSH! You should respect your elders!
Sansi: Isn't elder just like, a nice way of saying OLD?
Mace: In any case, Obi-Wan, you are to report with your padawans to Yoda immediately.
Sansi: But, like, I'm NOT going out like this! I need to wash my hair and repaint my nails!
Mace: Immediately.
Taysh: Will you carry me?
Obi: Taysh, you are perfectly capable of walking on your own.
Narrator: Taysh dramatically collapsed to the floor.
Taysh: *falls on floor* Owww! My leg is broken!
Erra: You see, Windu? See what I have to put up with?!
Mace: Yes, Erra. Taysh, you may ride on my back.
Taysh: Wheeeeeeee! *runs and jumps on him*
*footsteps with cane* *door opens*
Yoda: Sensed a disturbance in the force, did I.
Obi: We were just... having a food fight.
Yoda: A Jedi Master you are, Obi-Wan. Little know you about training padawan.
Obi: But Anakin turned out alright.
Yoda: *Laughs*
Obi: What?!
Yoda: Nothing, mmm....nothing.
San: Anakin is hardly nothing!
Erra: Well, compared to Obi---*cough* Never mind.
Taysh: Were you gonna say Boba Fett? He's one of my bestest friends!
Yoda: Padawans, been here not even six hours, and already created chaos have you.
Erra: No kidding.
Taysh: Thank you! It's my job!
Erra: I request that these other padawans be transferred to different masters. They are making it hard for me to uh... train.
Taysh: But I love Obikins!
Erra: So do I, that's not the point.
Obi: What?
Erra: Uh.. Nothing, Kenobi.
Yoda: Cooperation important to a Jedi is. Learn it, you must. Clean the temple you will.
Sansi: Like the WHOLE thing?
Yoda: From bottom to top, you will clean. Tomorrow you will work.. Yes.. mmmm.

*brush cleaning sounds*
Sansi: I can't believe I'm like doing this! Scrubbing the floor on my hands and knees with my toothbrush! This is totally gonna mess up my nails!
Si'Tri: You know, this water reminds me of what I've read about Kamino, Madame Jocasta Nu has just restored the file to the Jedi Archives. Did you know that Kamino has never recovered from global warming that liquefied colossal layers of inland continental ice? It caused its oceans to proliferate--
Erra: We KNOW! You've told us already.
Si'Tri: Well I wanted to remind you.
Erra: I lived there okay. I know.
Sansi: *gasp* I broke a nail!
Taysh: I nailed myself to Slave I, but Boba Fett said 'No Taysh, you cannot come with me.' So I cried. I love Boba Fett!
San: I love Anakin. He's Soooooooooooooo hot! But he'll never like me with a broken nail! I like better go find a nail file!
*footsteps*
Erra: Taysh, you're supposed to be using your toothbrush. That is NOT a toothbrush.
Si'Tri: Well, technically, the definition of a toothbrush is a small brush that is used for cleaning the teeth.
Erra: That brush is NOT small, and I highly doubt she uses it to clean her teeth!
Taysh: But I DO use it to clean my teeth! And my boots, and my Boba Fett plushie, and the bathroom, and--
Erra: We get the point. You're sick.
Taysh: No I'm not, I'm perfectly healthy. The vet said so!
Erra: Whatever. I'm going to go finish unpacking.
Si'Tri: What a splendid idea. I wish to conclude the process unpacking my dictionaries.
Taysh: OH NONO! I forgot Fluffy! He is going to die in my bag! I got out and left him in there alone! I'm coming Fluffy!

A Few hours later.....

*knock on door*
*muffled* Obi: Padawans.
Sansi: *opens door* Hi Obi Wan!
Taysh: Boo! OBIEKINS!
Erra: Hello Master.
Si'Tri: Sorry I'm late Master, I was looking up an article on the holonet about the compulsive behavior of the Sarlacc. Did you know that...
Obi: *clears throat* Um... could this wait till later?
Si'Tri: Certainly! Sorry Master.
Obi: I want to discuss something with you. Everyone come stand right here in the doorway of your room. What do you see?
Si'Tri: I observe disorder, chaos and overall pandemonium on the left, in Taysh Ara's side of the room.
Taysh: *annoyed* Hey!
Si'Tri: To the right, Erra Si Roughe's side of the room, it's gloomy, dark and morbid.
Erra: I like it that way, so get off it.
Si'Tri: On this end of the room, I observe an overpowering sense of cheerfulness, wild abandon and an obsession with Anakin Skywalker.
Sansi: He's sooooo cute!
Si'Tri: And on MY side of the room I see a specific desire for knowledge and understanding.
Obi: Well, uh...that was very insightful, but I wasn't driving at anything quite that complex, my young padawan.
Si'Tri: Oh.
Obi: Does anyone else see what I'm observing about this room? Erra?
Erra: It's a mess.
Obi: Yes. Very good. Now tell me, does this depict the true essence of a good Jedi?
Si'Tri: Of course not Master! A Jedi must be clean, orderly, and organized at all times.
Obi: I'll be back in a few hours, and when I return, I expect this room to be clean enough for the Jedi Council to inspect.
*door closes*
Sansi: I'm going to watch holovision, Fiends is coming on! I love that show!
Taysh: But I wanna watch Holotubbies!
Sansi: Holotubbies? *fading out *Your kidding me right?
Taysh: *fading out* Time for holotubbies! Time for holotubbies! Time for holotubbies! Time for holotubbies!
Erra: Si'Tri, you clean up the room, I'm going to polish my vibroblade collection.
Si'Tri: I'M going to go study. Madame Jocosta Nu has given me access to all the new files in the Jedi Archives, and there's an article on Space Slugs I want to finish.
*time goes by....*
*knock on door*
Sansi: *whispering* Uh oh! It's Obi Wan! Quick, like throw everything under your beds!
*various sounds as we dash around the room trying to clean it up*
*knock on door*
*door opens*
Obi Wan: Padawans?
Erra: This isn't the room your looking for...
Obi: Why haven't you cleaned anything up yet?
Taysh: That room! Strong in the Dark Side it is!
Obi: What do you have to say for yourself San Si Taneau?
Sansi: There's a Sith under my bed!
Obi: Si'Tri Meo?
Si'Tri: I had to study for the trials...And you know master; cleanliness leads to compulsiveness. Compulsiveness leads to complete-retentiveness, complete-retentiveness leads to psychological disorder. Psychological disorder leads to the Dark Side...

Obi: It's getting late Padawans, and we will begin training early tomorrow morning.
Si'Tri: I heartily Agree Master Kenobi. We should all strive to get satisfactory amounts of sleep every night, so that we can perform our best each day.
Obi: Goodnight Padawans.
Taysh: But you have to tuck me in! And tell me a story!!
Obi: Well uh... I'm not very good at telling stories Taysh.
Sansi: Tell us about Anakin!
Erra: No. Tell us about yourself Kenobi.
Si'Tri: I can read to you from my dictionary.
Erra: Yeah that'll put us all to sleep.
Taysh: Can Macie Come tell us a storreeeee? Pleeeeeeeese?
Obi: Uh.. I don't think so. He's uh probably in bed already... yes.
Taysh: But it's only eight O' clock!
Si'Tri: I should have been to bed an hour ago.
Sansi: Like you go to sleep at seven?
Si'Tri: Only on special occasions, normally I go to bed at six.
Taysh: OBIKINS SHE'S SCARY!!! DON'T LET HER SCARE ME ANYMORE!
Obi: Ok, everybody get in bed, and I'll tell you a very quick story.
Taysh: Yayeeee!
*running feet*
*squeaking bed*
Obi: Alright um. Once upon a time. There were four padawans.
Taysh: Named Quiggily, Duffy and Dex.
Si'Tri: That's only three.
Taysh: The other one is me! DUH!
Obi: Very well, continuing on. Quiggily, Duffy, Dex and Taysh...
Taysh: NONO Taysh is first.
Obi: Oh... Taysh, Quiggily, Duffy and Dex went for a walk. But they didn't tell their Jedi master where they were going.
Taysh: *gasps* They're bad!
Si'Tri: Not necessarily. They might have gone out to do something which would require them to keep their location undisclosed.
San: Like what?
Si'Tri: Well...maybe they were going to buy him a birthday present.
Taysh: I like birthday presents!
Obi: Then the padawans ran into an evil monster.
Taysh: No no! Not a scary story!
Sansi: Is this the part where Anakin saves them?
Obi: No, Anakin was on a mission to Naboo to um... visit a friend.
Sansi: How would that be a mission? I knew it! He's cheating on me! Master how could you let him do that to me? *cries*
