DISCLAIMER: All except Beth and Aisling belong to George Lucas. All hail
the Great Flannelled One. But Aisling belongs to me and Beth belongs to a
friend and we belong to ourselves, dammit!

Review!
'We're what?' Beth cried. Aisling looked over from the view-port where she was standing, a frown furrowing her brow.
'When the ship arrives at Imperial City, you two will be spending time in the palace,' Vader repeated.
'With the Emperor,' Aisling stated. 'You mean we're staying with the Emperor.'
'Yes.'
'But, but, will you be there?' Beth asked, looking extremely close to crying.
'No,' Vader replied, a touch gladly. 'I will remain on the ship until the Avenger leaves orbit.'
'But, but, but!' she wailed, in obvious distress at the news.
'Put a sock in it Beth,' Aisling snapped, staring out of the view-port again at the lines of hyperspace. 'He doesn't care.'
'But, but!'
'Bloody shut up!' Vader roared in the same instant as Aisling.
'No!' Beth yelled back and leapt. Vader yelled in surprise and backed off hurriedly, but not before Beth managed to wrap her arms around his leg. 'You can't leave!' she cried, holding on like a limpet as the Sith hopped one leg trying to shake her off.
'Bloody let go!'
'You cant leave!' Beth repeated, holding on all the more tightly. 'You cant leave us!'
'He can and he is,' Aisling stated coldly, as the Dark Lord looked around for something to scrape Beth off his leg with.
'But, wh-wh-what will-ll-ll we-we-we do?' Beth asked, as Vader tried to shake her off.
'Annoy the Court! Plague Xizor! Act the way you've been acting on this ship and let go of my forcedamned leg!'
'Who or what is Xizor?'
'A Faleen prince, trying to beat Vader at being Palpatines favourite, rich, successful, cold-blooded, treacherous. You'd love him,' Aisling told Beth. She looked over and had to stifle a grin at seeing the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader, one of the most feared men in the galaxy, trying to pry Beths arms and legs from around his lower leg, who was doing a spirited impression of a stubborn barnacle. 'Will you let go of him? The guy probably hasn't washed that suit since he put it on.' She paused a moment, calculating. 'About eighteen or twenty years ago.'
'I've done worse,' Beth replied, tightening her grip even more. Vader could no longer feel his foot. 'I've hugged Patrick Kerrigan.' Aisling grinned.
'You did a lot more than hug him.' Then she shut her eyes and rubbed her temples. 'Evil image, image go away.'
'You've done worse as well,' Beth reminded her.
'Worse than Patrick Kerrigan? I don't think so,' Aisling muttered, still massaging her temples.
'David.' There was a moments silence.
'Did you HAVE to remind me? I was this close to forgetting, THAT completely! And then you go and remind me! Oh Gods, I'm getting a flash- back.'
'Oh to hell with this,' Vader muttered, then used the Force to disengage Beth from his leg and to send her flying and crash to the floor behind the couch. Aisling watched her friend sail by overhead with interest, then she looked at Vader.
'Cool! Why didn't you do that before?' Vader looked at her.
'I have no idea.' Beth emerged from behind the couch and stood groggily, then she sighted on Vader.
'That was fun!' she cried, vaulting the couch and racing to the Sith. 'Do it again!'
'Go away!' Vader roared using the Force to augment it so that it came out at a volume more commonly used to blow masonry to pieces. Beth barely faltered before launched herself at Vaders leg again.
Aisling turned and looked out the view-port again as Vader went 'Aaaarrrgh!' Beth went 'Wheeee!' and a loud crash coincided with a door hissing open and shut very rapidly.
Maybe this trip to Imperial City wouldn't be a total loss, at the very least she would get to see just how potent Faleen pheromones really are. Just in time too, these Imperials didn't last any time at all hardly.
'So what will this Imperial City be like?' Beth asked, flopping down on the couch.
'The whole planets a city, Emperor Palpatines palace is there. It's a great honour to be invited there.' Neither her words nor her voice, tone or inflection revealed anything but respect and awe for Palpatine, but Beth knew her friend too well to be fooled.
'Is it?'
'Oh yes, a great honour.' She went to a chair and curled up in it, tucking her feet up under her. 'Just think Beth, we're going to the Palace, have you any idea how many people would kill to be able to say that?'
'A lot, I'd say.'
'More than that.' Beth looked at her friend, who was staring at her hands, picking nervously at her nails.
'Emperor Palpatine, he's the one who removed the scourge of the Jedi from the galaxy, aint he?' She was laying it on thick, but she knew that Aisling would get her real meaning.
'Yep, and ended the reign of the corrupt democrats, ushering in an era of real peace and true justice.' If you didn't know either girl really well, you would swear that they were doing nothing more than singing Palpatines praises to the stars. And that was the point. They played this game with many an unsuspecting victim before and they had it down to an art-form.
'How far away is it?' Aisling shrugged. 'Enough time to get ready do you think?'
'For me? Yeah definitely. For you,' Aisling counted on her fingers. 'How long did that last miracle take?'
'Less time than yours did,' Beth laughed, getting to her feet. 'But then, I wasn't trying to recover from the shock of waking up next to David.'
'Oh, you are a bitch Bethany Walsh!'
'Yeah, but that's why you love me.'
The officer in charge listened to the two laughing and joking as the Avenger sped towards Imperial City faster than light.
While inside his meditation ball, Vader hissed in frustration as his player got a sword through the heart from the Last Lord. Again!
It's a bit short I know, but I think the image of Vader hopping around with Beth stuck to his leg is quite enough for one session don't you? People dying from laughter-induced asphyxia (dying laughing in other words) don't help put reviews on my statistics screen you know!
Should I let Vader finish the game? I'll let him stew for just a bit longer!
