Chapter 2: Lightsabers for Everyone!
Notes: Celeb Ryu and Adnap Nottap are real people. Go read their stuff!! Also go read biblehermione's stuff. She's gonna have a coolie LOTR "me and my friends get sucked into the LOTR dimension" fic up, and it's funny!
The three Cali teens landed with an audible 'thud!' on hard, stone tiles as the swirly whirlpool spat them out. They had fallen only about a foot (the whirlpool was kind: it didn't want to hurt them), but they were all acting as if they had been killed.
"Ow! My leg!"
"My backside! Get off my arm!"
"Your elbow is in my ear!"
"Gross! Get your ear away from my elbow!"
"Get your- Ooo! Lookee!" Meg was the first to stand as she noticed where they were. Celeb only had the vaguest idea, and Adnap was in the dark, but Meg was a fanatic, so she knew precisely where they had landed. "Look! The Jedi Temple on Coruscant!!" she squealed, jumping up and down like she had when she had spotted Ewan.
"Great. Lovely. Can you tell Celeb to get off??" Adnap demanded.
"Both of you get up! My Star Wars sense tells me that we're currently in Episode II, which means-"
"Obi-Wan?" Celeb finished.
"Yes! Obi-Wan!" Meg squeaked. "He should come walking around a corner any second!"
As it turned out, Meg was half right. Someone did come walking around a corner… but it wasn't Obi-Wan. It was Yoda.
"Yoda! Yo-yo-yo-yo-Yoda!" Celeb started to sing.
"Shh! We're in the presence of greatness!!" Meg whispered, pulling her two friends into a bow with her.
Yoda looked up at them, taking in their outlandish clothing. "Who are you?" he asked.
"I'm… uh… Meg," Meg said lamely, unable to think up a cool Jedi nickname. "These are my friends Celeb and Adnap."
"Why have you come?" he asked again.
"We… uh… came to be trained!" Meg said quickly. "We're from… a distant planet! And we heard the temple was the best training establishment in the galaxy, so we took a pilgrimage here."
"Smooth," Celeb muttered.
"Hmm, indeed," Yoda said, smiling. He had seen this happen before, and he knew exactly where the girls had come from. "Follow me, you will."
"Yeah! We're following Yoda!" Celeb exclaimed, skipping for glee. Adnap and Meg looked at her oddly.
"What?? I happen to like Yoda, that's all!"
~-~-~-
Soon enough the three teens were outfitted in genuine Jedi robes, complete with utility belt and lightsaber. Meg busied herself with memorizing every detail of the world around her so she could translate it into a fanfiction. Adnap tried to remember everything her Star Wars fanatic friend had told her. Celeb played with her lightsaber.
"Look! It's purple!" she exclaimed as she activated the glowing beam.
"Put that down! You might cut someone's eye out!" Meg shouted.
"Nah, I'm not that clumsy," Celeb replied, swinging the lightsaber. The lavender saber sliced through one of the statues on the wall, and one half Yoda's head came crashing to the floor. "Oops…"
"We've got to get out of here," Meg muttered.
"Why? It's nice here."
"Do you want to miss the chance to taunt Anakin?" Meg asked, a fanatical glint in her eye.
"Oooo!! Anakin torture!!" Celeb squealed, waving her still-activated lightsaber. Adnap had to duck to avoid getting decapitated.
"Watch out!" she exclaimed. "You're gonna kill someone!"
"Can I kill Anakin??" she asked.
"…no. Not yet. We want to torment him first, si?" Meg said.
"Oh… yeah. Right."
"Then lets go! We need to find some sort of speeder…"
"Can we get a convertible???"
~-~-~-
About an hour later (Meg called id one standard time part), the three friends had decided on a speeder, hijacked it (courtesy of Celeb's 'power of the fangirls'), and were on their way to the fated landing platform that would soon be the scene of one of the more gruesome explosion deaths in the Star Wars universe.
"Are we going to prevent it?" Adnap asked, referring to the death.
"Nope," Meg replied.
"How come?"
"We can't interfere, except to make Anakin's life miserable. Who knows what effect it'll have on Episodes IV-VI?"
"IV-VI?"
"Four through six. Sorry. I tend to talk in roman numerals."
"…we noticed."
The speeder they had chosen was a fast little ship, so they made it to the landing Pad very quickly (which was a good thing: Celeb was getting carsick).
"I have a question," Adnap said as Meg set the speeder down close to the landing pad.
"What's that?" Meg replied.
"Why don't we just go to the building where Padme meets Obi-Wan and Anakin?"
"Because… er…" Meg gulped. "I don't know exactly where that is."
"And you're supposed to be the Star Wars genius," Celeb muttered.
"Hey! I bet you don't know every planet in Dragon Ball Z!"
"I do too!"
"Name them!"
"Uh, guys…" Adnap said nervously, "We've been spotted."
The pilot of one of the Naboo starfighters was looking over at them curiously. Celeb noted this pilot was a little bit skinnier and curvier than the others.
"Hi Padme!" she shouted, waving.
"Don't do that! Now they'll kill her!" Meg exclaimed. Her voice was drown out, however, by a massive explosion that shook the landing pads for miles around.
"My ears!" Adnap cried.
"My Vegeta doll!" Celeb sobbed. The little model of the Saiyan Prince had blown off the landing platform and was now falling towards the planet surface miles below.
"Honestly," Meg muttered as she drove the little speeder into a sharp dive. "You're really impossible."
"You'd say the same about your Kenobi-Wan doll!" Celeb exclaimed as she caught the Vegeta plushie.
"…you're right. Never mind. Let's get back up there before the Senator's ship leaves."
Next Time: Will the Cali teens get to see Obi-Wan? What have Celeb and Meg got in store for Anakin? Why is the "Elephant Love Medley" playing in the senate lift??
