Day 14

7:00am

'I seem to be waking up to a whole lot of things lately,' I thought feeling the bed bounce under me as I heard delighted giggling. 'First I wake up being kissed, then I find myself on Endor, next in the Matrix, now to a bouncing Ewok.'

I cracked open one eye to watch Luka Siz jumping on my bed like a two-year- old. It was amusing to watch. Then I finally started feeling motion sick from the bouncing of Maul's apprentice. "Luka!" ~Stop bouncing on my bed please.~

"Chak Dutak," Luka replied and got off of my bed after one last bounce.

I groaned and rolled off my bed, landing on the floor with a loud 'thunk'. Luka looked at me suspiciously and asked, ~You aren't getting sick too, are you?~

"Why in Kessel's bloody name would I be sick?"

Haldir bolted into my room. "Maul is very sick Warious. I've never seen a ailment like this before!"

"What color is Maul?" I asked.

~Funny you should ask that 'cause Maul seems to have 'Dark-moon' syndrome.~

Dark-moon syndrome is a common Ewok sickness and more like their version of a cold. In most species it is akin to the flu. I seem to be immune to it though. Sighing I got up and went to look at my ailing brother.

I checked on Maul, he was an interesting shade of purple where he was normally red. (Dark-Moon syndrome turns non-furry humanoids blue.) He was going to be fine; providing he rested for the day. It was just about then that I realized I would have to train Luka for today. I've never trained anyone in my entire life. I didn't think I was quite ready for the experience but now I had no real choice.

9:00am

I am making Luka go through with meditation and he seemed to be okay with it...for five minutes.

~Dutak? Are we done yet?~

~No Luka, keep meditating.~

Two minutes later...

~Are we done yet?~

~No.~

Mere seconds later...

~Now?~

I am feeling that this is going to be a very long day.

9:30am

We made it, more or less, through meditation. Yahoo. Sarcasm.

I then went over what Maul had taught Luka yesterday, and suddenly realized that it really was going to be a very long day.

~Um, I don't really remember what Maul taught me.~

"WHAT?!?"

Haldir, in a tree safely 'out of my reach', laughed at me. I glared at my companion which made him laugh all the more. I reached out with the force and violently shook the tree Haldir was in till he fell out.

Turning back to Luka I heard a small strangled 'Ow' before continuing, "Let's start from the beginning then.

So I started with the simple force abilities like standing on one's heads and lifting several rocks that are as big as a box. (A/N: Sorry. Too much Weird Al)

I ran Luka through the basic force skills; like lifting objects, moving things with the force and more meditation.

~More of that?~ Luka whined when I told him to meditate again.

"Yes 'more of that'. You need to learn this."

~Why?~

I sighed, feeling frustrated. "Because I am your temporary master and I say that you must learn it."

~You have no idea do you?~

"The purpose is to learn how to obey your master even if he or she asks you to do something that seems silly. That is why. Now meditate!" I told my Ewok apprentice.

Luka grumbled and attempted to meditate.

It was quiet for at least five minutes before Haldir finally groaned from his awkward position on the ground and got up. (He had landed hard and on his head so he was lying with his head and neck on the ground and the other half of his body was draped over a low branch.) He came over to me and asked, "Why did you do that?"

"You laughed. I am trying to do something that I really stink at, and your laughing at me does not help." I hissed at him so Luka wouldn't be disturbed. I looked over at my temporary apprentice and saw that he had indeed stopped meditating and was watching us expectantly. "Meditate!" I ordered the Ewok. Quickly Luka went back to 'meditating'.

Haldir slung an arm around my shoulder and turned me to face him.

"What?" I asked him when he didn't say anything.

"You owe me after that stunt you pulled with the tree."

"Oh yes...I'm sorry. But don't you ever laugh at me again when I am trying to do something I normally stink at, please."

Haldir slid his other arm around my waist and secured the one around my shoulders making it a bit hard to get away. "I accept your apology."

"Let me go please. Luka is right there and," I directed my next words at Luka, "HE ISN"T MEDITATING!"

Haldir winced. Oh shoot, I forgot about his ears.

"I'm sorry." I said, lowering my voice.

Haldir growled and then kissed me. I tried to pull away but found that he had strategically placed his arms around me. Haldir kissed me more insistently and I found myself responding. I wrapped my arms around him; one going around his back and the other sliding up to feel his long, soft, hair. I lost myself in his kiss and felt like never stopping.

We had been kissing for at least a few minutes before I felt a tug on my pants, at the knee. I remembered that I was supposed to be training Luka and sighed. I broke the kiss and said, "I need to do my sithly duties now, Haldir."

"Do you have to?" He asked disappointed.

I nodded, not really wanting to let go. Haldir sighed and let go of me but then caught my arm. I turned to look at him.

"I love you," he said, then kissed me quickly and let go of my arm.

I turned back to Luka, who was looking expectantly at me. ~You two are life mates?~ the force sensitive Ewok asked.

~He wants to be my life mate.~

~Then why are you two not life mates?~

~We need to be married first Luka Siz. Now lets try moving trees.~

1:00 pm

I finally finished today's training session with Luka with out anymore distractions. Yes! Now we are inside eating lunch. I checked on Maul to see how he was doing. He is more red than purple now so that means the Ewokian cold is going away.

After lunch I went to my job at the library.

5:30pm

It was another wonderfully boring day at the library for me. But I am okay with that. I prefer not having to deal with the teens that wreak havoc in a library.

I got home to find dinner ready. I scolded Haldir for not asking me first and then thanked him for making dinner for me. He looked a little confused at first because of my method of thanking him, but then kissed me after it registered.

I pulled away before we got carried away and sat down to eat with a bouncy Ewok and a slightly sick Darth Maul.

9:30pm

I'm upstairs on the computer and talking to my friends on the Middle-earth Message board. Haldir came in and wrapped his arms around me. I looked up at him, "Yes? What do you want?"

"To marry you." He replied and then kissed me.

"What if I say 'yes'?" I asked him when he stopped.

"Then you will make me a very happy Elf."

I kissed Haldir full on the mouth and then said, "I want to make you a happy elf."

"Does this mean...?"

"It means 'yes'. I will marry you." I replied. I got out of the chair and looked into his eyes. We were about to kiss when loud yelling interrupted us. I sighed and went to the top of the stairs. "KEEP IT DOWN!"

I came back into my room and asked Haldir why we always get interrupted.

"I have no idea. Let's get some sleep now." So we went to bed.
