Title: Candy Canes

Characters: Omega, Tech, and Hunter.

Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars.


Hunter, Omega, and Tech were on a supply run. Omega spotted something in a shop window, "Tech," she said grabbing his hand and gently tugging him towards the shop, "What are those?" she asked, pointing at the strange red and white things in the window. "Candy canes." he stated, "What are candy canes?" she asked. " A candy cane is a cane-shaped stick candy often associated with Life Day. It is traditionally white with red stripes and flavored with peppermint, but they also come in a variety of other flavors and colors." Tech said. Omega looked up at Hunter, "Can we get some?" she asked, Hunter looked at Tech, "We do have enough credits to get a box of candy canes." Tech stated. "Alright then," Hunter said, "Tech, you and Omega can get the candy canes. I'll get everything else."


In the shop there were a lot of candy canes, "Some candy canes are more minty then they are sweet, we have to get the right ones." Tech instructed, and he and Omega began looking around. They looked and looked, but they couldn't find the candy canes they were looking for. Three boxes they looked at had to much mint in them, and the others were almost completely artificially flavored and full of sugar. The Omega spotted them, "What about these?" she asked, holding up a green and red box that had white candy canes with dark pinkish stripes. Tech quickly checked the ingredients, "I do believe that these are exactly what we've been looking for." he said.


When they got back to the ship, the first thing Omega wanted to do was try a candy cane, but everyone had to pitch in to stow the supplies. One thing lead to another, and before you knew it, almost everyone was asleep. Almost. Omega crept out of her room, grabbed two candy canes, then walked quietly to the cockpit. Tech was in the pilots seat, reading something on his datapad, but he looked up when Omega came in. "We didn't get a chance to try them earlier." she said, handing him one of the candy canes, before sitting down in the seat across from him. She opened the wrapper and pulled a little, then hesitantly stuck her tongue out and touched it to the tip of the candy cane. Her eyes lit up, "It's good." she said. Tech couldn't help being curious, and opened his too. She was right, it was good. "These are definitely the candy canes we were looking for."


A/N: This inspiration came out of nowhere. But I am so happy it did. I'm super particular about my candy canes, I don't like them to minty. The candy canes in the story that Omega and Tech buy, are my favorite candy canes that are sadly no longer made. I wanted to do some Tech and Omega bonding, I felt like they should have done a little more of that in the show, but thats just me. Anyway it is a week until Christmas Eve, eight days until Christmas Day, and twelve days until The Book of Boba Fett. For the record, yes, I did google the definition of a candy cane. Anyway thanks for reading, feel free to leave a review, I hope you enjoyed, and I'll be back on Sunday.
