A/N: I have no idea what I'm going to do next. I've just been writing randomly, and I've recently seen a Lord of the Rings spoof, and I'm trying to write Star Wars, so it's getting a little insane. I'm going on vacation tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll be back. I'll have a computer, but no internet access, so I think I'll have the story a lot farther, but no posts. So goodbye for now (probably. Unless the plan changes, which it does so often) Thanks again to everyone who took the time to review, maybe when I get back there'll be more of you. .

Windu scowled at the rest of the circus people. "Don't any of you want to guess what the other genre is?" he demanded.

"No," retorted everyone.

Windu scowled again. He didn't even have a part in the circus.

"That's not necessarily true," put in Obi-Wan, reading his mind. "You sell tickets and put up the advertisements."

Windu scowled again. "That's not even fun."

"Shut up," retorted Padmé, guessing what this was all about.

"Why should I?"

"Because I said so."

"But you say things so often."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Well, if I did everything you said, then I'd be really busy."

"That would be a change. Like you ever do anything."

Obi-Wan watched as the pair argued randomly. He could sense Padmé's thoughts, and she really, really hated Windu. It was odd, but she seemed to hate him more than she hated her husband. The Jedi decided to keep that from his apprentice, so Anakin wouldn't be jealous.

Leia started to jump from the trapeze but froze in midair as she realized that Obi-Wan couldn't have caught her.

"Obi-Wan," she shouted. "Pay attention!" he looked up and jumped as he noticed her floating there. Unfortunately, he jumped a little too much and fell off himself. As you might have guessed, he started floating there as well.

"Jedi fly like birdies!" shouted Jar Jar.

"Not necessarily," observed Qui-Gon. "They aren't going anywhere. They're just sort of… hanging there."

"And Leia isn't a Jedi," snapped Windu, annoyed at the very idea.

"All of this speculation is very nice," Leia retorted, "Now why don't you get us down?"

"Do that, we cannot. Want to, why would we?" said Yoda as an afterthought.

"Because if you don't, then you'll think Sidious was a butterfly," threatened Leia.

"Wasn't he?" said Anakin in confusion. "That's the only reason I joined him. I thought he was a pretty butterfly that flew into my window to teach me how to catch other butterflies."

Everyone stared at him. "Oh, now that's just great," exclaimed Leia finally. "I'm floating in midair, surrounded by idiots. Now what?" she demanded. Obi-Wan had been tapping her on the shoulder.

"Look, no hands," he exclaimed, raising the appendages into the air.

"Well, that's just amazing Obi-Wan," she retorted, her voiced dripping sarcasm. "You don't have to use your hands for an activity that doesn't require hands. You're a prodigy!"

"Thank you," he said modestly. "I try."

"Hi," said Lando. "Can I be in the circus too?"

"Tell you what," said Leia. "Whoever gets me down can have whatever job they want."

"What if somebody already has the job we want and we don't think they'd like not having that job?" one of the Padawans asked, looking at Anakin.

"Then we'll kill them," Obi-Wan answered for Leia. She nodded. It wasn't exactly what she'd had in mind, but it was close enough.

Just then, we found out what had happened to some characters from an earlier chapter.

"My precious!" cried the small grey creature, launching itself off of the top of the stands and onto Leia's back. She fell and landed with a thump.

"Oww," she complained, then "Oof," as Obi-Wan landed on top of her, with the first small man, Mr. Frodo, on top of him.

"What are you guys doing here?" asked Dooku.

"Finding the precious!"

"Chasing him."

"Looking for the escaped idiots who don't get that the Ring of Power doesn't exist anymore," added the blonde man with the pointed ears, entering with the rest of his friends.

"Did someone say: POWER?" demanded Darth Sidious, appearing with every Sith lord he had ever controlled.

"No," said the man with the metallic lightsaber quickly.

"Didn't I?" asked the blonde man. "I meant to."

"Where is this object of power of which you speak?" asked Sidious.

"But hesa sayin' there's no powah full thingy. That's what hesa spake," said Jar Jar.

The Sith glared at him, and then nodded to Vader. The other Sith scowled in concentration behind his mask, and started trying to Force-choke the Gungun. Jar Jar stared at him for a moment then shook his head.

"Sithies not nicers," said the Gungun, imitating the grey creature. "but this Sithie not berry good at bein' a baddie. This Sithie didn't kill mesa."

Sure enough, ex-Anakin's favorite method of killing had no effect on Jar Jar. For no reason whatsoever, the Gungun was looking calm, unruffled, and undead, despite Vader's efforts.

"Why aren't you dying?" the Sith rasped in frustration.

"Because mesa not dyin'."

"Well we know that," snapped Sidious. "Never mind, Darth Vader. Kill them all until we get this object of power."

"YOU WILL NOT!" exclaimed a new voice. "THE OBJECT OF POWER IS MINE!"

A large figure in a black mask appeared. "I FORGED THE ONE RING! IT IS MINE!"

"Who are you?" demanded Sidious.

"I AM THE DARK LORD OF MORDOR, RULER AND FORGER OF THE ONE RING TO RULE THEM ALL. I WILL CONTROL MIDDLE EARTH!"

"I am the Dark Lord here!" insisted Sidious. "Vader, Kill him!"

"Yes, my master."

"Why does he get all of the good jobs?" demanded Darth Maul.

"Because you're an idiot and you can't Force-choke people," retorted Vader maturely.

"It's not my fault," wined Maul. "If I was cast later in the movie, I'd be better."

"You must be pretty good. You did kill me, after all," said Qui-Gon.

"Maybe you just suck," snapped Windu.

"Well I was going to go over to your side, but if you're going to be so nasty about it, I'll just join the other Dark Side," huffed Maul.

"COOL!" said the Dark Lord.

"Must you talk so loud?" complained Leia. "I already fell from a trapeze. I don't need you shouting in my ear."

"FINE! THERE IS NO RING OF POWER HERE. I CAN SEE WHEN I'M NOT WANTED. I'M GOING HOME. COME, NEW GUY. WHAT'S YOUR NAME AGAIN?"

"Darth Maul."

"MAUL. IT IS A GOOD NAME. IT INSPIRES FEAR. COME, MAUL. WE WILL GO SMITE PEOPLE AND OTHER EVIL STUFF. I'LL BREIF YOU ON IT LATER. FOR NOW, WE RETURN TO MIDDLE EARTH TO DESTROY ALL LIFE!"

"Okay."

"Now can we get back to practicing?" demanded Padmé as the others from the wrong world left.

"Not until we figure out what caused Obi-Wan and I to float in midair, and Vader to not be able to kill Jar Jar," said her daughter.

"Yeah, I want to know that too," complained Vader. "It still works, that stupid Gungun is just immune to it," he added, killing an innocent bystander.

As everyone continued to speculate on the cause of that, Qui-Gon smiled evilly. Pranks were so fun!
