Baby Sitting:

Part 2: Okay, So now what?

It took more than a few minutes to convince Nathan that harassing Darth Vader for his autograph was a bad thing. It took even longer to get the blond over to the other side of the room and make him promise to NOT bother any one who had shown up. Then both Pearl and Nicky took stock of the four people that were there. The most obvious of course, was the aforementioned Dark Lord, the second was none other than Yoda him self. Standing in the floor looking like he'd just been plucked off the screen. Next was Qui-gon Jinn who looked out at the room completely unrattled as if winding up in the apartment of a pair of earth girls, was a common every day occurrence to him. Finally there was the one that caused the most gasps from the on looking Sci Fi club. Standing there in the room along with the other three was a slightly bewildered looking 20 year old Anakin Skywalker.

"So what?" Nicky finally broke the dead lock, "How did all of you get here?"

"Tell us that, we were hoping you could." Yoda told her.

"You mean to tell me …" Pearl sat on the couch and put her head in her hands, "With all due respect Sir, I have no clue how you got here. I don't think any of us do."

"And just where is here?" The imposing black form demanded.

"Lexington Kentucky," Nicky chirped, "Welcome."
Nathan laughed, Heather rolled her eyes, Pearl groaned and the rest of the club had various reactions to all of this.

"That dose not help," He growled.

"Yah well, you standing there doing your "Hey look I'm a badass" routine isn't making it any easier either big fella. So why don't you do us all a favor and shut your trap for a few seconds," Pearl told him.

"So what do you plan on doing with us?" This came from the still unshaken ably calm master Jinn.

"Can we keep em?" Nathan asked.

"DON'T Start!" Pearl snapped, "We can't keep them."

"Uhhh…"Anakin raised his hand, "Scuse me, Has any one here seen Obi-wan?"

That got the attention of all of the other force users in the room as well as every member of the club.

"Okay first off, do any of you know each other?" Nicky got out trying to be the diplomat.

"I …" Vader began.

"Not you," She held up her hand, "Do you three know each other?"
"I know them," Anakin pointed to Qui-gon and Yoda.

"Know the two of them I do as well," the green master added.

Pearl looked at Qui-gon, "And you?"

"I'm pretty sure I know who he is," He pointed to Anakin, "And I am fully aware of who Master Yoda is. As for…"

"Yah well, His name is Darth Vader," Pearl told him, "And don't ask me any more cus I'm pretty sure that none of you would believe it."

"That," The dark lord agreed, "Is an understatement."

"And you," The older girl launched into him, "Not one single word to any of them got it?"
"What makes you think you can order me around?" He glared down at her.

"Your in my home, that makes you my guest, that means you do what I say when I say it, other wise you can go sleep in the garage."

"You insolent…" that was when he noticed that nothing was happening.

He had attempted to go after the snide woman with his powers and NOTHING had happened.

"What's going…" He some how managed to look stunned.

"Know problem I do," Yoda grinned then looked at the girls, "For pet which one of you has a yaslamari ?"

"Do I even wanna know what this charmer and his attitude problem have to do with my pet lizards?" She crossed her arms and kept up the glaring match.

Qui-gon actually smiled and told her, "Well they are the reason none of us can use our abilities. Charming creatures really…"

"Why do I sense there's a "Not" in there some where?" Nicky cracked.

"Wha?" This intelligent remark came from Anakin.

"So what you're telling us," This was Heather chiming in from her perch, "is that due to something with Pearl's pets you guys don't have your force powers."

"Basically." The master nodded.

"That's probably a good thing considering the amount of tact that exists in this apartment." The other girl commented.

"Tact?" Pearl looked up, "What's that?"

"Her I like," Yoda smiled, "Crazy she is."

"Not sure if that was a compliment or an insult Master Yoda, but thanks none the less."

"So what did happen?" This was the young Anakin again commenting and earning a death glare from a particular some one.

"Well this apparently started this morning when I brought my pets." Pearl shrugged.

"Awwwww…" Nathan cried, "You mean it wasn't me?"

"NO Nathan," Nicky shot back, "He didn't pop out of the TV."

"Well I mean it's possible… He did show up when…"

"THEY didn't pop out of the TV Nathan," The whole group suddenly told him in unison.

"Well He could have," The blond muttered.

Nicky looked at Pearl, "Do you want to smack him upside the head or shall I?"
The older girl shook her head and sighed. "Well I guess the party's shot to hell, the real question now is what do we do with them until we find out how to send them home?"

"Well we can't let them run loose, tempting as it might be," Nicky agreed.

"I'll take…!" Nathan's hand shot up with enthusiasm.

"NO Nathan!" Both girls warned him.

The blond boy went back to sulking and the rest of them put their heads together trying to come up with some kind of solution. Eventually it was determined, since it was Pearl's pets that were keeping the damage to a minimum. That the best place for them to stay would be at the apartment, but every one else in the club agreed to come and help out with the situation as much as they possibly could, as soon as they possibly could tomorrow morning. That left the two girls there with them hoping and wondering that some how this whole thing would get resolved and that just maybe in the morning the chaos would be less.

It wasn't.

In fact the morning came and the rest of the club returned to find that the fracas was not only continuing but had for all intents and purposes had gotten worse. The members that weren't staying at the apartment arrived there around nine that morning just in time to see something very strange happen.

As they walked up a VERY loud string of curses in Huttesse issued from the window and something came flying out of the thing and promptly bean Nathan.
"AHH," He rubbed the top of his head, "Alright! What was that and who threw it!"

He looked around for the object that had clocked him while every one out there suddenly noticed that and even LOUDER, more creative string of curses in English, were now issuing from that same window.

Heather was the first to find the object that seemed to be such a point of contention and was the first one who managed to get a good look at the thing. She let out a small snort and proceeded to head in the direction of the door way. She was just reaching for the knob when the door flew open to reveal Pearl and her new favorite room mate squirming in her grasp as she held him by the chain that kept his cape in place.

"What!" Pearl demanded.

"Did you loose these?" Heather asked as she held out the box.

"As a matter of fact I did," Pearl snarled, "THIS nut job tossed them out the window just as I set them on the counter."

"Did you bother to take a look at the flavor of those?" The other girl continued.

"No Nicky's mom got them for us."

"Maybe you should Pearly. That may explain a few things."

She looked at her friend for a second and then glanced down at the box that was brandishing a picture of the very person she now held captive.

"Lava Berry ex…." She stopped and trailed off for a second and then got a very sheepish look. "Sorry." She promptly told her captive as she let him go.

He somehow managed to look smug and then stomped back off into the apartment. Heather was still looking at her friend trying desperately to NOT crack up. Pearl just looked at the box again.

"I'm going to kill Nicky's mom," she simply stated.
