DISLAIMER: I own nothing! Well Aisling is me, so she's mine and Beth is
Jacintha, so she's hers. But beyond that, I own nothing!! You sue and your
life will be more miserable than you can possibly imagine.
AUTHOR: Well if you haven't spotted it by now you're no use to anyone are you?
A rather convoluted trick, worthy of only few.
A very strange phenomenon has occurred. Before, I used to look at my statistics with a mix of hope and resignation. Now I do a happy dance before I'm even on Fanfiction.net! And its all thanks to you guys out there!!! So thank you! Thank you all! But don't think your obligation ends here, oh no. Every chapter you will review *waves hand* you don't want to sell me Death Sticks!
Sage of Dreams the Insane: *looks at revised pen-name* No, really?! Nah, that's alright, the ones you sent over have worked out a sleeping rota so its all good. *bows* thank you! Although you may want to take a breath now and then Sage. Blue looks fab on Thrawn but humans aren't supposed to be that colour!
Celestia Vitaria: Yeah, that's why my pen-name is what it is. *preen* I have read and reviewed Kidnapped, thumbs up on that one. And I hope you've updated, *impression of Vader on second death Star* for your sake. Hehehe! I'm serious!
Sara: So am I!! So never fear, this story will go on!
Jacintha: *smirk raised eyebrow snigger* Really? Yeah ill regret it later no doubt, but right now, *evil chuckle* Taz, I couldn't care. *smirk*
Kumiko Eharu: Yay! You can relate, yeah so can I. Very strange isn't it? *tries to look all scholarly and wise, fails miserably, bows* Thank you so much!
Regeane: yeah, its strange how the brain just soaks up all the details of, example, exactly what alluvial dampeners and hydrospanners are, while being completely unable to understand what the Bunsen burner is for. Hmm! I'm so glad you like!
Sticks: Woah, more impatience. *slow smile* And what exactly would you do if I didn't update for, oh say, a week? Two? *chuckle* No, I'm not that cruel! Hehehe! So many people like this!!! O my gods I'm doing the happy dance.
DragonElf-86: Yeah well, my computer only marked it as wrong not how to spell it right! So I left it! So there! Yay you agree! *smirks at Jacintha* See! Yeah Vader probably would be heartbroken, so lets not break the poor Siths heart!!
Biblehermione: *looks at review in shock* Sweet Force what have I done?! Oh what the hell. You do realize that you're the only one who answered that right? Thanks for noticing!
Drama-Princess87: Yay! *bows again, wonders if she'll ever stand straight again, filthy thoughts to yerselves thank you very much!* I can just see them doing that, cant you? Hehehehe! You advertised me?! *wipes away an imaginary tear* You're so nice! Of course Ill R&R! How can I not now?! Ill try!
Dragonlet: Someone else agrees with me!! Woohoo! You do realize that Jacintha would kill you for saying that right? And me for agreeing with you? *snigger* I'm only joking Jacintha! *sigh* Oliver!!! *sound of a slap as ihadanepiphany comes back to earth* Where was I? Oh yeah, heheheh! You like it too! Thank you!!!!
*evil chuckle* You wanna see what happens to Beth?
Then read on…………
Vader looked on as the two girls circled each other.
'You folded him!' Beth hissed, fingers curling into claws. 'You folded George!! I can't believe you folded George!! You malignant fuck-pig!'
'What are you gonna do about it? Whore-bitch?' Aisling taunted, hands loosely held by her sides. Vader wondered if he should step in, just before Xizor walked in, apparently on the way to somewhere else. Beth was facing the door at the time and so she couldn't miss seeing him and he her. She immediately turned and bolted. She turned before going out the opposite door.
'Don't get attached to the photo, Affor!' she called before slamming it behind her. Xizor gave Beth an odd look, Aisling an odder look and didn't look at Vader at all. He walked swiftly through the hall and disappeared through a different door than the one Beth left by.
Vader waited until the Faleen had gone before turning back to Aisling, who was staring up at the ceiling, tapping her foot gently.
'What was all that about?' he asked. Aisling shrugged.
'I was bored.'
'You pick a fight with your best friend because you're bored?'
'Nope. I picked a fight with her because she needed to let off some steam. I was also bored.' She looked at Vader, a sly lopsided smile forming. 'But now I've got an idea.' Vader watched the smile, whenever that particular one appeared, someone was going down. Aisling sneered suddenly. 'She called me Affor. I can forgive all else, but not that.'
'Why not?' he asked. Aisling swung around and growled, literally growled at him.
'Noones business but my own,' she hissed. She spun on her heel and stalked out of the hall.
Vader stared after her. *Well, at least noones gonna be bored for a while* he thought before leaving for his quarters.
*~*
'And you're asking my help because?' Xizor asked, as he and Aisling walked down a corridor.
'What, you're telling me that you don't want to get even with her?'
'Well now I didn't say that.' Xizor stopped and turned to face the girl. 'What exactly do I get out of it?' Aisling shrugged, a sly grin pulling at her lip.
'The chance to get a one up on Beth.' she smirked. 'In more ways than one. Also to have a good time.' Xizor scowled at her.
'Last time I had a good time with Beth, her reaction was one of "disgusted loathing," as Vader put it.'
'Yeah, I heard about that. No, not from rumours, from Vader,' she said hurriedly as the Faleen Princes scowl deepened. 'But this time, that cant happen,' she told him, then explained the situation. The Faleen stared at her intently, she gazed back, completely innocent. The temptation to get even was very, very strong.
'Alright,' he sighed. 'What do I do?'
*~*
'You have got to be joking,' Vader said.
'You know well that I'm not,' Aisling retorted. They were standing on a balcony overlooking Imperial City.
'I know,' Vader sighed. 'I just hoped that if I said that you would change your mind.' He stared at the building tops for a moment. 'Fine, I'll do it.'
'Would about three hours time suit you?' Aisling asked.
'Yeah, yeah,' Vader said. 'I've got to get the image first, you know.'
'Oh yeah,' Aisling looked at the photo, no good. 'Here,' she said, putting the image in the front of her mind. There was that eerie feeling, like someone rubbing a cloth across her brain, as Vader lifted the image. 'Got it?' A young man appeared in front of her. 'Yep, perfect. Three hours?'
'I can't wait,' Vader said dryly and let the illusion drop.
Aisling chuckled to herself as she went out the door. Only one thing left to do. (A/N Has anyone guessed what she's planning yet?)
*~*
'Beth?' Aisling called, going into the flat they shared. She cautiously looked around, ready to duck. Beth mustn't be back yet.
'Give me back my shagging photo!!' Aisling smirked, she was back. Aisling took the unfolded and repaired photo from her pocket and skimmed it into the kitchen. A shocked silence followed, which Aisling took advantage of to check for booby traps. None, so she went into the kitchen.
Beth was staring at the photo in her hand when Aisling walked in. Clearly she wasn't expecting this, as the gaping look, the complete silence and the cleaver stood testament to.
'Well,' Aisling said in the quiet. 'There it is.'
'But, you, huh?' Beth gasped, then her eyes narrowed. 'What's the deal O' Connell? I've never known you to give up so easily.' Aisling looked at her friend, eyebrow raised. (A/N here begins the Oscar winning performance)
'You mean you've never known me to give up, right?' She smiled widely and wrapped her arms around herself. 'That's cos I haven't,' she squealed. 'I've got something better!'
'Better than this?' Beth had seen her friend pull off strange stunts, but this was new. She kept the photo close.
'Yep!' Aisling was bouncing on the balls of her feet now, clearly over the moon about something. 'Vader thought that he recognized Draco and he did!!'
'How could he recognize Draco?' Beth scoffed. 'He's way back home!'
'I know! It wasn't him, obviously! But it was someone who looks so like him!' Aisling squealed with delight and clapped her hands convulsively. 'Except that he's twenty and he's tall and buff and he's the spitting image of him except older and hehehehehehe!!!!' Beth eyes tracked her best friend, who was currently jumping high enough to touch the roof. 'He's coming here tomorrow!!!!! I got in touch with him, well Vader did, and I was talking to him and he's so funny! And sweet! And dammit but he's fine!!' Aisling seemed to calm down a bit at the look on Beths face. 'Look Beth, it makes sense don't it? There are how many worlds and how many zillions of human beings in the galaxy? There has to be someone somewhere who looks just like you. But in this case he looks just like Draco at twenty and he's here on Imperial City and he's single and he's, he's, methinks Id better sit down.' She did, then giggled madly and beat a rhythm on the floor with her feet. 'And I'm meeting him tomorrow!!!!' (A/N Good acting eh?)
'Wait a minute, wait a minute,' Beth said, going to sit beside her hurriedly. 'If there's a guy who looks just like Draco, could there be a guy that looks just like George?'
'How about Fred?' Aisling joked. She laughed at Beths face. 'Yes, there is. I had Vader check for George, from the photo. There's a guy from Correllia who's exactly like him!'
'Where's Correllia?' Beth demanded. 'How long to get there?'
'Hold on, hold on,' Aisling told her. 'He's FROM Correllia; he's not ON Correllia. He works in one of the Information Centres here on Imperial City. Vader got hold of him and he's gonna be here, as in the flat, in,' Aisling checked her watch. 'Two hours.' (A/N Any guesses yet?)
'Two hours!' Beth yelled. 'Omigod! What do I do? What do I DO?!'
'Well after all the practise you've had Beth,' Aisling said, smirking at Beths state of excited nervous breakdown. 'You'd think you know by now.' (A/N Anyone know what THAT means?)
'Shut up and help me tidy up!'
Aisling laughingly complied, but as her friend raced into the bedroom to get ready a while later, a slow, evil smile curved her lips and she laughed softly under her breath. She looked around the apartment, clean as it could ever be, then at her watch. One hour to go. (A/N Yes, time has a habit of disappearing in my stuff. Ignore it and move on!)
'Hey Beth,' she called through the bedroom door. 'I'm heading off. Ill crash at Maras tonight, k?'
'Would you?'
'Well I would like to sleep tonight you know! I'll see you tomorrow, or whenever.'
'See you. Oh and Aisling?'
'Yeah?'
'Thanks.' Aisling went out the door, smirking to herself.
'Oh no,' she murmured. 'Thank you.'
Ah yes, true evil is so much fun!
Those of you who think less of Aisling and I right now, tough!!! I'm having fun!
Jacintha, I hope you're happy now!! * growl smirk*
