Conversations with Storm Boopers

By: MaidM

DISCLAIM'D!: I don't own any of it. Damn it.

Blame Lilyhead. It's entirely her fault.


"Star… wars."

"Yes, Star Wars. The epic space-fantasy of Luke, the farm boy turned jedi-master. I even got the original versions. None of this tampered version with giant lizards in the background."

"Doesn't sound too bad. As long as it's not all bright white metal and ridiculously inconvenient uniforms like that Star Trick you made me watch."

"Star Trek."

"Whatever. They wouldn't have lasted five arns in any real enemy attack."

"Don't worry. I think you'll like this one. It's very much about the enemy attacks."

"Well let's see it then. I'll try to stay interested."

"I knew you'd come around."


"Where in the universe did those storm boopers learn to fight. You're more competent with a loaded firearm."

"Thanks."

"And those pulse pistols of theirs…"

"They're blasters, Aeryn. Blasters."

"More like the practice pistols we were given at five cycles."

"But you have to admit the lightsabers are pretty damn cool."

"Totally impractical. Why not just shoot them?"

"Because it's- you know-space, and- just watch it, OK?"

"Still, I could take that Vaper guy in a microt with my pulse rifle."

"Pipe down. It's getting to the good part."


"So?"

"So what?"

"So what did you think?"

"It was alright, I guess."

"Alright, yeah. I could tell you thought it was 'alright' when you were muttering under you're breath during the entire Death Star battle scene."

"I was muttering commands. Those frelling fighter planes were all over. They should have been in a tighter formation. No wonder so many of them blew up."

"Incompetent flying, eh?"

"Absolutely. There is no way they could have defeated that Death Star in real life with that sole-pilot centric flight pattern. I was a better flyer at fifteen cycles."

"So you liked it?"

"Maybe a little."

"Good. 'Cause we still have two more to watch."

"What? What more could happen?"

"You'd be surprised. You haven't even met Yoda yet."

"Yoda. The one who lives on Dagobah?"

"I think I'll make a nerd out of you yet, Aeryn."

"Don't get used to it. Now let's get the rest of this over with."

"You won't be disappointed."
