DISCLAIMER: I own nothing! Well, Aisling is me, so she's mine and Beth is
Jacinthas, so she owns her. But beyond that I own nothing! Try and sue and
I will make your life more miserable than you can possibly imagine.

Biblehermione: yes I know, it's the reason why I picked her and, someone else out for it. *smirk* vader Xizor and Palpy may think that they're the big bads, but in comparison, hehe, nope!
And heeeeeere it is!
Aisling opened the door to see an unknown woman standing on the threshold.
'Can I hep you?' she asked, a bit perplexed. The woman smiled.
'Hello. I'm Mara Jade.' *Ah* Aisling thought. *I might've known* 'I heard you were planning on hitting the town tonight and I thought that you might like a guide.' She glanced behind Aisling to where Beth could be seen ranting about how there was no stereo. (A/N ever notice how getting ready without music is damn-near impossible? Odd thing, aint it?) 'This, is the flat of Aisling O' Connell and Bethany Walsh, right?'
'Yes it is, I' Aisling by the way.' She looked into the flat. 'And the loony toon with the rant addiction is Beth.' She looked back at Mara Jade, who was grinning madly. 'We're planning on heading about in about two, three hours. How about you get ready in your place and then come up here and we head out together?'
'Sounds good to me,' Mara agreed. 'Do you mind if I bring a friend along?'
'As long as he aint another damn trooper,' Beth called, having heard the question. Mara laughed, she had heard the various reports and tales about their various encounters with stormtroopers.
'Don't worry,' she reassured. 'Daala aint no trooper.' She chuckled. 'Definitely not a trooper.' Aisling grinned widely. (A/N D'ya guess whos coming along yet?)
'That's grand so. You and Daala get ready and we'll wait for you here, k?'
'Yep, great. I'll see in a couple of hours.'
'See ya then.' Aisling closed the door and chuckled to herself.
'Question?' Beth said, somewhat indistinctly due to the food in her mouth. 'Why did you invite two complete strangers?' Aisling smiled slyly at her friend and put a finger to her lips. Beth grinned evilly and nodded slowly.
'So what are you wearing?' Aisling asked, going into her bedroom.
'Slutsville. You?'
'Whore City.'
'Sounds good.'
'Looks better!' they shouted together and laughed as they got ready.
Two Hours Later
'Hello? Oh, hey. Beth! Get a move on! Ready? Lets go!' (A/N I.e. in doorway, wanting to get out asap!)
Some Time And More Places Later
'By this time he's so out of it that he's forgotten where his quarters are and I've got to find it out. I didn't know at this stage, obviously. And I had to find out discretely even, cos a Grand Moff dead drunk on the street isn't the best image for the Imperial Navy,' Daala was saying as Aisling came back with another round of drinks.
'Who are you talking about?' she asked, siting down.
'Tarkin. Anyway,' Daala continued. 'While my back was "turned," ' Daala smirked. 'Some cadets literally fell over him and decided to take him back to their place until he recovered.'
'And where were you while this went on?' Daala smirked again and took a drink of her Correllian Ale.
'I was looking for an air-taxi and had my back completely turned as the cadets dragged him off, singing and cursing the whole time of course.' She sniggered at the memory, as did the others.
'And there was me thinking you two were such a happy couple,' Mara Jade laughed.
'Well, is it my fault that he decided to be an ignorant bollix that night? Anyway, Tarkin woke up in the cadet's dormitory with a splitting headache and no idea as to how he got there. The fact that the dormitory was so cramped that they all had to share billets didn't help I'm sure.'
'Oh no,' Beth laughed. 'Tarkin woke up in a cadets bed?'
'And the cadet was still in it!' other patrons of the bar looked around as the four females burst out laughing. 'He had to sneak out of the dormitory before anyone woke up and get to his own quarters, which were more than three miles away!' Daala continued when she had partly recovered. 'He somehow made it without being seen, but when he finally got there, there was a trooper waiting with a message from Vader to see him as soon as he got in.'
'He didn't!' Aisling gasped. 'Daala nodded.
'He did! He didn't even go into his quarters to clean up! Just turned right back around and went straight to Vader. Can you imagine it? He was covered in mud, muck, vomit and booze, reeking to the heavens, with a black eye he'd picked up somewhere along the line and was so hung-over he could barely stand! And he appeared before Vader like that!' The table erupted again.
'What did Vader do?' Beth giggled.
'Tarkin said that the meeting was extremely rushed, Vader kept coughing and as he left, ordered him to have a very long bath!'
Two human males came up to the table while they were still laughing over this one.
'Hello ladies,' one drawled.
'GO AWAY!!!!' The simultaneous roars made the two men jump out of their skin and beat a hasty retreat, which made the four women collapse all over again.
A Lot More Time Later
'Two thousand bottles of OW-EE!' Mad drunken flailing from her accomplices cut off the singer and, thankfully, the song.
The troopers on guard in the plaza looked at each other in resignation. A song like that ended to get around.
Soon they heard four beings stumbling in the approximate direction of the Palace. A tricky business, seeing as each being had at least two different ideas of where the damn huge building was, never mind the doors.
' "It's not like you, to say sorry," ' two of them started belting out.
'Mara, d'you know this?' another asked.
'Not a damn clue Daala.'
'Oh, okay then.'
' "I was waiting on a different story. This time I'm, mistaken, for handing you a heart worth breaking." '
The troopers decided not to stall them, they might actually stay. So they watched them weave their uncertain way in, damaging walls and statues on the way.
' "And I've been wrong, I've been down, to the bottom of every bottle." '
'Hey I know that bit,' they heard the first lone voice call out triumphantly.
' "These five words in my head, scream are we having fun yet?" '
'And that one!'
The troopers watched them stumble into the Grand Corridor and turned back to the planet-wide city. Four drunken lunatics stumbling into the Palace had nothing to do with them. No of course not. They were only stormtrooper. Enough said.
The group halted, eventually, outside one of the elevators.
'So what now?' one said, somewhat muffled because for some odd reason that she couldn't fathom, someones hair was in her face. (A/N the hair on the HEAD you sick people!)
'How about we go up to our place, crack open some bottles, play some cards, you know, finish the night off properly,' another said, who had a good chance of being either Aisling or Beth.
'Sounds good,' yet another said. 'What time is it?' Mara somehow managed to focus on her chronometer.
'Uh, six in the morning.'
'It's not is it?' Daala groaned. 'Dammit, I'm supposed to be heading off planet in two hours.'
'Oh I'm sure they can get someone else to fill in for you,' Beth yawned.
'Yes Beth, an Admiral cancelling a mission because she's langered. That'll really help my career.'
'Admiral?' Beth asked focusing properly for the first time in some two or three hours. 'You never said you were an Admiral.'
'You never asked,' Daala replied, disentangling herself from the group. 'No, I gotta get sober, showered and uniformed so I bid thee goodnight.'
'Night!' all three yelled and giggled hilariously at their cleverness. The wall they were leaning on opened -seeing as it was the elevator door- and they fell into the lift.
'Er, this is my stop,' a voice said as a trooper, having recognised them, vaulted over them and out the door. (A/N Smart man that trooper, eh?) Beth somehow managed to hit the right button and the elevator went upwards.
Aisling and Mara Jade managed to get to their feet, mainly by steadying themselves on each other and then helped Beth regain her feet. Then they turned and saw:
'Troopers!'
'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!'
Poor bastards never had a chance.
Dun-dun-DUN! Methinks I'll leave it there.
Oh, and the whole drunkenness thing, actually happened to a guy I know in the FCA (Army reserves here in Ireland) but he was a gunner i.e. private, not a Moff.
I got a good one coming up! So make sure that you remember this fic and review!
