*Sigh* Just another day for me to help the Jedi with all of their
mechanical problems. Of course I could get into another adventure, like
when Han and Luke, and of course Chewbacca got stuck in the trash and
without me, they would have been squished like tin cans.... But that
doesn't happen very often.
Of course there was that time when Anakin got in one of the fighter planes and took off with me aboard, but that was long ago. And of course I couldn't forget how C3PO and I walked across the desert, boy was he ever cranky! Oh how I long for the adventurous days when I was a young droid.
*Sigh* He continued to think of all his adventures as he rolled down the hallway headed for engineering. His thoughts roamed to when he played a game against Chewbacca, and Han said that Wookies liked to rip the arms off of the opponent who beat him, and C3PO's insistence to let the Wookie win. 3PO, had no sense of honor to even suggest such a thing! I may be a little droid, but I still have big goals.
Here he was engineering. *BEEP* that's all he could do, and sometimes it was very frustrating having no one understand him as he longed to be understood. The engineers glanced at him as he made his way into the room. R2 rolled over to fix yet ANOTHER console. Stick my little gadget in there, and yes, here it goes again, data streamin' into my subprossessors. Turn to the left, quarter turn to the right. *BEEP* Good, that didn't take long, but wait they're motioning me over to another console. Should I ignore them, act like I'm malfunctioning and see my favorite robot down in maintenance? Or should I live up to my codes of honor, and fix that console. The honor won out, even as he thought how shiny the other robot was, and wished with his little mechanical being to see her.
Keep rolling he said to himself. He had a schedule to keep. Perhaps he would bump into Master Yoda again, like he had a few days ago. The old master, had so much force, that it sent tingles to all of his circuits. *BEEP* Well, that's one thing to look forward to. But first I'm scheduled to go to the mess hall. Probably a food transport jammed, as usual. Hadn't he just fixed one of those last week?? Oh well, here I go again.
The doors opened, and everyone shouted happy robot birthday! R2 couldn't keep himself, from *BEEP* He was so excited, that's why he was so down today, and if only he could tell them what this meant to him, but they couldn't understand his beeps!! Just then Obi walked over and plugged something into his system, and it took R2 a few minutes to compute, and when he went to *beep* out came a deep voice, saying thank you! He couldn't believe it! He could talk!!! Now he could be understood at last!!
Just then he came out of his recharging phase, and looked around and sighed. *BEEP*
