Every detail. General Mliss knew almost every detail. She told us it all:
"As it was only three days until your graduation, you thought you could get away with some mischief."
She even got the time right.
" After hours both of you snuck out, as you did tonight, to have some fun but you came across something you didn't expect. Zalu, I believe it was, smoking spice. You tried to get away but were unsuccessful in your attempt."
Mishap was looking at her shocked. Then pierced Plank with a deadly look, asking him if he told anyone. But it was clear that Plank had no idea how she knew any of this.
"Enraged and high on illegal spice she needed assurance that you wouldn't have a chance to tell anyone of your discovery. Taking away your ration packets was a sure way, because no scenario would lead anyone to believe you were telling the truth. All in all a perfect plan." Master Mliss mused.
"So," She said her voice once again icy." Am I correct?"
Mishap looked, embarrassed, at the floor, and miserably said" Sorry Sir all you said is completely right. But how did you know?"
"If you're asking if Plank told, No he is a true friend. Also, don't worry no one else knows."
Grinning Mliss said her voice once again light "So now, boys, allow me to make you something to eat" Gesturing to the Kitchen where they sat." I still don't think you've eaten"
Jumping up Mishap protested" You know we can't eat anything before we graduate. We can't eat anything while we still are on Kamino."
Grinning ever wider she replied," Last I checked, while you are on my ship you are in my care. So what will you have?"
Mishap turned to Plank with a childlike grin on his face, much happier than Plank had ever seen him. Even more than when the brand of ration packets served was changed!
"What can you make?"
"Whatever you wish my friends."
Mishap laughed with joy.
After a much-enjoyed meal of Tatooine sandwiches and Hoth's famous iceburgurs the clones elatedly headed back to take Eavs advice and get some rest.
"That, Mishap, was the craziest night I have ever had." Still marvelling at the oddness of it all Plank was just happy he passed the exam and had some food.
"And that was the best meal I have ever had."
"Do you only think with your stomach Mishap?"
"When there's food around, Yes, Yes I do."
Laughing they met a few questioning Kaminoins but besides that, they made it to their pods so that at least they could get a few hours sleep. What a night, Plank thought to himself as he drifted off the sleep, what a night.
