Day 12
Darth Warious opened her eyes; Haldir was lying next to her. Warious reached out with her senses and..."Yes!!! I can feel the Force again!" She bounced out of bed and turned to Haldir. "See? They didn't kill us, and now wesa back!" Without waiting for a response Warious bounced downstairs. Darth Maul was sitting at the Holonet terminal doing something. "Hi brother! Did you miss me?"
Maul turned around in his chair. "Where were you?" he asked slightly sounding perturbed.
"I was in the Matrix!!!!!" Warious replied jumping up and down. "It was sooooo cool! I got to meet Agent Smith! It was so awesome!"
Maul went back to the Holonet saying, "Whatever."
Warious looked in the dog crate...it was empty. "Where is Zsinj?" she asked.
Maul shrugged, "Last I knew he was on Endor. We brought someone else back with us instead."
"Who?" Warious asked warily. At that moment a pair of small furry arms clamped themselves around Warious' leg.
-Good morning Dutak.-
Warious looked down. "Luka Siz!" -How did you get here?- she rubbed the Ewok's head.
-I don't know. We were on our way back to the Great Tree Clan and then I woke up here. Where did you go? I thought maybe something had happened to you.- Luka said letting go of her leg.
-I went someplace that you wouldn't be able to understand. But I'm back now. How do you like it here?- Warious asked her friend.
"The first thing he said when he got here was 'that you must hate it here.'" Maul interrupted from the other room.
Warious shook her head. -Where is the elf being?- Luka asked.
-I'm here.- Came Haldir's reply. In Ewok no less!
-Good, you catch on quick.- Luka said to Haldir.
"But does anyone care that I can speak Ewok too? No. It's a conspiracy I tell you! A conspiracy!!!!!" Everyone was now accustomed to Warious' constant saying so they ignored her. Warious continued talking about conspiracies for a while until Maul asked Haldir to shut her up. "That's a conspira..." Warious was in mid rant when Haldir grabbed Warious around the waist and kissed me. Well, it did shut her up. But not for long...
Warious pulled and ran away from Haldir yelling about conspiracies until she was too tired to continue. Then they all gathered into the living room to watch a movie. But what movie were they going to watch? Warious won the Rock, Paper, Scissors, game so she chose.
"We are going to watch the Muppet Show!" Darth Warious announced happily. Maul groaned, Haldir rolled his eyes and Luka looked clueless. "And we are going to watch the one with Mark Hamill!"
So they watched the Muppet show. "Hey!" Warious yelled two seconds after the theme song ended, "What is Luke Skywalker doing on this? I better tell my friend that her co-author is loose." So after the episode ended Warious went to report the incident to her friend.
After that, it was time for Warious to work so she left to go to the library.
.............
Warious was so glad to be home after she finished work. Don't get me wrong, Warious loved the library and her job there...Warious hated dealing with the loud and rude kids that occasionally come along. Tonight was the worst it had ever been. They were loud, picking out books and leaving them on the floor, tearing up pieces of note book paper and letting it fall on the ground...it was terrible. They finally got kicked out by the head librarian.
So, Warious returned home mentally exhausted, frustrated and in a not-so- nice mood. Maul sensed this right away and warned everyone before she got home.
Haldir had made dinner again without asking Warious first, but she let it slide this time as Warious was too tired to cook anything anyway. Yes she really is picky about cooking and who does it. That's just the way Warious is. It is her kitchen and anything she says is law! Warious felt better after eating and was feeling reasonably civil again. Then Maul spoke... "Warious?"
"Yes Maul?" Warious replied clearing the table trying to avoid Haldir's arms as he tried to pull her onto his lap.
"Do you want an apprentice?"
Warious looked at Maul like he was nuts and replied, "I'm not ready for an apprentice yet. Why do you ask?" Then she saw Maul glance at Luka Siz. 'Uh- oh' Warious thought, 'what happened now?'
"Luka is force sensitive enough to be trained."
Luka looked down at the ground uncomfortably.
"What makes you say that Maul?" Warious asked.
"This afternoon after you left," Maul began, "Luka was trying to get something on the counter up there." He pointed to a relatively high shelf. "And he got it without climbing up. I saw the thing come down to him."
Warious turned to Luka. "How long have you been able to do this?" she asked.
"It started after you had left us to go back to Coruscant. I remembered watching you do it before and thought that maybe I could. So one day I was trying to get my spear back, I dropped it from the lookout tree, and I got it to come back to me."
Haldir's jaw dropped. "Luka can speak the common tongue?"
Ignoring Haldir temporarily, Warious reached out with the force to 'touch' Luka. Sure enough Luka was brimming with the force. This was an interesting find for her. Most 'primitive' life forms can't typically access the force. But then again, Luka can speak Basic when no other Ewok can.
While Warious was thinking, Haldir grabbed his chance and pulled Darth Warious onto his lap. Warious was so deep in thought she didn't realize what happened. Finally Warious asked, "What else can you do?"
-I can lift objects, I can make other creatures not see me, I can feel when trouble is coming, or mother's sister.- Luka replied.
Warious laughed understanding why he added his Mother's sister (Ewok way of saying aunt). She was not the most pleasant of relatives to Luka. "Amazing! A force sensitive Ewok. This is going to be fun."
Maul looked up at Warious. "So you'll train him?" He asked hopefully.
"Nope. You get to, it was your discovery my dear brother. You get to train our young Ewok friend."
Maul groaned but didn't argue. Then Warious realized she was sitting on Haldir's lap and tried to get off. Haldir held her down grinning. "Let me up!" Warious demanded.
"Why?" Haldir asked.
"Because the dishes need doing," she replied calmly and tried to get up again...tried. "Let go please."
"It's Maul's turn to do the dishes," Haldir replied seriously. "I want your attention for now."
"And why is that?"
Haldir kissed the side of Warious' neck and moving slowly up to her mouth. Warious gave in. 'Just this once,' she thought.
..........
"Well it's been an interesting day," Warious said to Haldir.
"Yes it has," he agreed sliding his arms around Warious. They were in her room and Warious was about ready for sleep. "Warious, I have something to ask you."
Warious glanced up at him, "Haku?" (Huttese for 'what?')
Haldir got down on one knee holding Warious' hand in his and gazing up at her he spoke, "I know this isn't typical of any elf concerning a mortal but; will you, as you say here, marry me?"
Warious was shocked, but she was too tired to consider it right now. Warious yanked the loony elf to his feet and replied, "I'll think about it in the morning." And with that being said she got into bed and fell asleep.
