Chapter 12: Captain Obvious.
12121212121212121212121212121212
"Mos freaking Eisley, have we landed in Star Wars?"
"You mentioned that and I think we have." We walked side by side until we heard music coming from a building.
I looked at Amber and she shrugged, but we went in anyway. It apparently was a cantina. Yep, "It's a cantina."
"Thank you, Captain Obvious."
"Hey, Amber, don't be hatin." She rolled her eyes and sat down at a table.
I followed suit. Suddenly a human stood up and pulled out a gun. Amber dove for the ground, but I waited and didn't move. "Dude, it's a blaster!" I said excitedly.
Amber grabbed my arm and pulled me down onto the ground. "And stay there Captain Obvious!"
Two men stood up also, the man trained his blaster on them. "Jedi, they ruin everything."
"No we happen to disrupt the succeeding process." The older one, that had long brown hair and wore a typical cloak said.
The other man, no, wait, "It's a boy our age, look!" I stated.
"Now you see it, Captain Obvious!" He had a small braid of hair and all the rest of it was short.
"Hey, Amber, I—!"
"Don't even say it!"
"Fine!" The one man suddenly started to shoot at the other two, they pulled out tubes, pressed a button, and a blue and green beam of light shot out. They blocked the bolts from the blaster with apparent ease. "Dude, Light sabers!" I jumped up at the sight.
Amber pulled me back down, "No crap, Sherlock!"
The noise was deafening, I rolled over onto my stomach until someone pulled me up by the back of my shirt. "CEASE FIRE!" Everything became quite again. The man had pressed the blaster to my head. Oh man, why me? I asked myself.
He shook me violently, "Dude!" I complained.
"Shut up!" He pressed the harder to my head.
"Okay." I said timidly.
The two men looked at me until the older one smiled. He held out his hand and the blaster flew into it. The younger man flipped over to us and punched the guy. The dude held his nose and let go of me.
"You saved my life!" I said amazed.
Amber's head popped out from under the table, "Nice deduction, Sherlock. What was your first clue?"
I stopped and started to think, when my rescuer shoved me down. Amber's head popped back down as the shots hit the table where her head had been. BLOODY PRARIE DOGS! I thought, but cried out as a shot grazed my stomach.
The man who had the gun to my head walked up to me. My feminine instinctive defense methods kicked in. I lifted my foot and connected to a sensitive area. When I saw that he didn't go down, I realized something. "BLOODY EUNCH!" He shrugged but was hit on the head from behind; Amber had some kind of weapon. "Sweet, Gopher Chucks!" She ducked again and fled to the refuge of her table.
The older Jedi took the last one down, "Obi-wan."
My head snapped toward him, the young one also looked at him, "Yes, Master?"
Oh baby, Qui-gon and Obi-wan. I thought. I stood up, but my wound exploded with pain. I cursed and the Jedi looked at me. "Are you injured?" I held back a smartass reply, and slowed him my stomach. His expression remained kind, and he didn't look worried. "It's only a graze. Obi-wan, give her bacta." The cute Obi-Wan walked over to me with a patch of moving green stuff. I shied away from it, but Qui-gon held me. Obi-wan put the patch on my stomach and his hand brushed my skin.
I flinched and the butterflies took this as a good time to visit my stomach. I braced myself for the wave of pain that came from all stuff to heal wounds. It never came. "Hey, instant pain reliever!" Obi-wan pushed me down again as Qui-gon's light saber came to life. I landed on my back with Obi-wan on top of me. Qui-gon parried the blaster bolts until the man cried out and died.
I looked at Obi-wan only to find him looking intently at me. "Are you alright?"
I nodded, "I seem to be getting asked that a lot lately." He grinned and pulled me up, "Amber?" I waited, "Amber?" I looked under the table only to find a high tech device thingie. I reached for it when it started to beep. Again, I was pulled away. I was half dragged, half carried out of the cantina and away from it. I turned and saw the cantina explode and catch fire. A ship flew overhead, drowning out the sound of the flames. "Amber?" When I got no answer, I screamed her name in frustration.
Qui-gon put a comforting hand on my shoulder. Obi-wan stared at the flames and bowed his head. He mourned for the lives lost, even though he never knew them. "She is alive." Qui-gon said, as I started to cry.
"How?" I looked at him hopefully.
"She was on that passing ship."
"How can you tell?"
"I have the force."
I stared at him, "You know someone who can help me then?"
Qui-gon thought for a moment and then pulled out a walkie-talkie thingie. Then it hit me, it was a com link! (Captain Obvious strikes back) He moved out of earshot and spoke into it. "What is your name?"
"Jessica." I said as I turned to face Obi-wan.
He nodded. "Obi-wan."
"What's a Jedi?" I asked, I knew it was a random question that I already knew the answer to but I love to hear him bloody talk!
He smiled, seemingly amused at the question before him, "Jedi are the keepers of the peace. We are sent usually to diffuse an evil war, or stop crime lords. But there can be other missions too."
I looked at him, "What's that tube thingie?" I asked pointing to his light saber.
He almost laughed at the way I asked this. "It's a light saber." Eyes amazing… I thought. "It's an energy blade that can cut through virtually anything." He cute... I thought as I pretended to look interested. "It can also block blaster bolts."
Aw heck, he sexy! "Like I saw in there?"
"Yes, where are you from?" He asked, obviously trying to get me away from my major randomness. "You act kind of weird." He continued.
"I'm from Earth, do you know it?" He shook his head. "It's a planed that's way behind in space travel, so no one has come this far yet. Basically I'm new to all this."
He grinned at me, "Then prepare to be amazed." Nice smile, are you taken? I wanted to ask him. "That gives me so much encouragement"
Our conversation was cut off by Qui-gon, "We have been asked to help you find both of your friends."
"Thank you then." I smiled.
Qui-gon bowed and gestured with his hand, "Our ship is this way."
I followed Qui-gon while Obi-wan walked beside me. A drunken man grabbed my jeans and mumbled incoherently. I pulled my leg free and ran into another low life. I thought Mos Eisley people weren't like this. I thought as it occurred that this one didn't want money. Obi-wan put an arm around me as if I were his. If only I were…I thought. He steered me clear and I stuck very close to Obi-wan for the rest of the way. He was taller than me, so it wasn't a problem.
We reached their ship and I boarded. Obi-wan took his arm off me and I immediately regretted his absence. Another human showed me to a room. I immediately threw off my backpack and flopped down on the bed. The man just smiled, shut the door, and left. I opened my back pack and dug around. Pulling out my walkman and a snickers bar, I laid down on the bed, and flipped the walkman on.
I munched absentmindedly on my snack and stared at the ceiling. My mind drifted to Obi-wan, he was really fine, I would kill to see him with a tank on, or he could walk around shirtless, either one would be fine. Preferably the second though. I then wondered of he was seeing anyone. If he was, I wondered how she would look, or act. I finished my food and my mind came back to me. One of these days my mind's going to wonder off and never come back. I then noticed a bar that stretched from one side of the room to the other. "Dude, workout time!" I took off my headphones, climbed up to the bar, and did a crunch. Unfortunately, I had never done a crunch like this before.
The door opened, and Obi-wan strode in just as I fell face first on the ground. I lifted up my hand, "I'm…okay!" I let my hand drop as I thought, why is it that when you're doing a midair crunch on a bar that's ion a ship that in the middle of a star war's novel and you fall, that a fine guy walks in?
He cocked an eyebrow at me and I stayed down. His confusion turned to laughter as he walked over to help me up. "Shut up…" I mumbled.
"That was interesting."
"Shut up." My hormones immediately picked up the fact that he wasn't going to let go of my hand or move his other hand from my back. I think that my stomach expanded because of all the butterflies that were currently residing in it.
"You okay?"
"Except for a wounded ego, yea, I am."
He grinned at me again. "We're almost there."
"Where?'
"Coruscant, the ship with your friend on it is headed there."
"Isn't that the world with the Jedi Temple?" (Captain Obvious returns!)
"Yes, but come. You must see it from the atmosphere." I nodded and he led me through the ship to the bridge. The hand that resided on my back dropped, but (sigh) he still held my hand. The panel door slid upward revealing a beautiful planet. I gasped, it was gorgeous! I couldn't wait to see what was actually on it. I smiled; this would be an interesting adventure.
