HAPPY FRIDAY!
This little thing is inspired by what me and my family did last weekend ;)
DISCLAIMER: Disney/Lucasfilm owns Clone Wars. Beach Bunny, Real Estate, and Sylvan Esso own their respective songs. :3
Enjoy, my friends! (Cause only you guys read my stories XD)
Saturdays were Ahsoka Tano's favorite day. No classes, no work.. That actually gave her time to do stuff in life she actually wanted to do. Ahsoka flopped on the sofa, scrolling through Instagram, looking for something to do. Pictures from all of her friends filled her feed. Kix and Jesse stay up late studying, Wolffe, Boost, Comet, and Sinker winning a soccer game, the Martez sisters visiting family. She got a notification, saying that Padme had re-posted something. Ahsoka was intrigued, she clicked on it. It was a post from Felucia Farm, saying that they are doing pick-your-own apples.
"That seems like fun," Ahsoka said out loud.
"What?" Barriss Offee, her roommate, yelled from the bathroom. Barriss was a history major.
"NOTHING!" Ahsoka yelled back.
She clicked on the link to the website for the farm. It said that you didn't need to reserve a time, you just showed up! That seemed really fun. But not to do it alone. Ahsoka exited the app, and called her boyfriend. Well, Ahsoka referred to him as her boyfriend, Rex always sort-of denied that.
"REEEEEEEEEX!"She yelled into the phone, excited."I just had the BEST idea!"
"Ahsoka.."Rex responded."Don't yell."
"Sorry! Anywaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, do you and Cody want to go apple picking? Are you busy?"
"No, that sounds perfect! Lemme ask Cody.."He covered the microphone, probably asking his roommate" He says yes!"
"Great! Ahsoka said" So it'll be you, me, Cody, hmm...Reckon I outta ask Echo and Fives if they wanna come too?"
"The last time we left them out, we nearly died from spam tweets, dead memes and Rickrolls. Let's do it, lil'un."Rex said, trying to stay alive.
"Woo hoo! Glad you can come. I'll pick ya up in say..half an hour?"said Ahsoka.
"Yep! Bye."Rex said, hanging up.
Ahsoka texted Echo.
- Snips: You and -All5s wanna come apple picking?
- Say_That_Again: We don't have anything to do…
- All5s: YES! YEET! XD
- Say_That_Again: I guess we already agree.
- Snips: Great -Codyman212 and -Rexster are coming too! :D
- All5s: What about -Skyguy?
- Snips: Nope just us. I'll pick y'all up in my Volkswagen Bus, and we'll head out.
- Say_That_Again: :D
Ahsoka was so excited! After switching up her outfit to a red sweater, black beanie, black tights, a jean skirt, and little brown boots.
As she walked out into the hallway to the door, a text from Barriss came through.
- Bearis_Coffee: Where r u going?
- Snips: Having fun with the boys. :D
- Bearis_Coffee: 'Kay. Don't die!
- Snips: Allright. Be back in the afternoon.
Ahsoka stepped out into the autumn air and unlocked her Volkswagen bus. It was blue, with a white top, and beige-ish seats. And she loved it. Ahsoka put her phone in the makeshift phone-holder, put the key in the ignition, and drove. It was just a short drive around campus, but Ahsoka loved her music. She opened up Spotify and resumed her song, Dream Boy by Beach Bunny.
You're poetically inclined.
Scrambled words, painting her in technicolor
Easy love is hard to find
Blushing eyes, she replies "You feel like summer."
Ahsoka drummed on the steering wheel and sang along with the song.
You've got my heart bursting at the seams
Maybe you're the boy from my dreams
.
If you're gonna love me make sure that you do it right
I'll be under your window in the moonlight
Oh I tend to keep my heart locked up watertight
All ya gotta do is meet me, meet me after midnight
.
If you're gonna love me make sure that you do it right
I'll be under your window in the moonlight
Oh I tend to keep my heart locked up watertight
All ya gotta do is meet me after midnight
The song ended perfectly; Ahsoka had arrived in front of the boys' dorm building. She opened the door, and got in the elevator, humming. Rex and Cody's room was #501. Ahsoka knocked on the door, and it opened to Cody and Rex all ready to go.
Ahsoka beamed and said "Wassup! Ready to go?"
"Yep!" Cody replied.
The sound of a slamming door rang through the hallway.
Echo and Fives ran from room 505. "Were you gonna leave without us?" asked Fives. Fives wasn't his real name, but he hated his given one. So he went by Fives!
"Nooo."Rex said, staring at them. "We were just going to go knock on your door."
"Great."panted Echo. Echo was his legit name. Ahsoka didn't know what his parents were thinking when they named him.
"Lets go!" They piled into the elevator, and descended down, talking about stuff, how their first year of college was going, classes, etc.
Ahsoka and her crew piled into her car. Ahsoka was driving, Rex sat in the passenger's seat. Cody got the middle row all to himself. And Echo and Fives sat in the back row.
"Everybody buckled in?" Ahsoka asked,
"Yes" rang through the car.
"Great!" She punched the address into Google Maps, and drove. They drove out of Campus, and out of the small college town they were located in. Ahsoka turned on some music. Since the radio was broken, Ahsoka used her phone for music. The next song on her playlist was Paper Cup by Real Estate, ft. Sylvan Esso. (A/N Clean, I replaced the swear)
You always come up gold
Without being told
Was I ever too young
Or was I always old?
.
You're trying on new fits
I'm on the same krayt spit
But you know I love it
And I can't seem to quit.
.
If I could just stand still (If I could just stand still)
Is it my will
Pulling me up this hill
Searching for something real.
After the chorus, Echo interjected "At least you have good music, Ahsoka. Other girls' music is TRASH. Backstreet Boys, One Direction? Bleck!"
Everyone laughed at that, then resumed looking at the window, or at their phones.
"You only say that because you've been rocking out with the Bad Batch, and not listening to anything new.." Cody said.
"Who?" Ahsoka asked, pausing the music.
"The Bad Batch. Some friends from high school of mine that are trying to be a band." Cody explained.
"Oh."Rex said. Ahsoka resumed her music.
Can we please back this up
Refill the paper cup.
Until we've all grown up
And we have had enough.
.
If I could just stand still (If I could just stand still)
Is it my will
Pulling me up this hill
Searching for something real.
.
If I could just stand still (If I could just stand still)
Is it my will
Pulling me up this hill
Searching for something real.
.
If I could just stand still (If I could just stand still)
Is it my will
Pulling me up this hill
Searching for something real.
The song ended.
"Take a right."said Siri's robotic voice. Ahsoka turned. The road got windier and into the forest-carpeted mountains. Everyone was in awe at all the magical fall colors. Suddenly, a deer jumped out of the forest, out into the road. One minute they could see it, the next they couldn't.
"Did we...kill it?" Ahsoka said shakily.
Rex leaned out of his seat so he could see better out of the window. "I don't know."
"Imma just drive" said Ahsoka, and they did.
After more driving, and Echo nearly getting carsick, they arrived at the farm. There was a barn to the left, and a field to the right. The field was filled with people sitting on blankets and listening to a band. It was a different local band, The Modal Nodes. (A/N The Cantina band ;D)
"I think we will go and check in at the barn," Ahsoka said, locking the car.
"Hey, you're the one who arranged this, "said Fives.
The barn was a store on the inside, with produce on tables, a fridge was stocked full of cider. Ahsoka decided to walk up to the woman at the cashier, and ask.
"Excuse me, ma'am. Where do we go to apple pick?" she inquired.
The cashier was an older woman. "You see that road, branchin' off the parking lot."
Ahsoka nodded.
"Follow that all the way up the hill, and there will be a tent right next to the orchard."
"Thanks!" Ahsoka said. "Come on, guys!"
Rex and Cody were looking-no, drooling-at the apple turnovers. Echo and Fives were standing in front of a sign with prices, Fives was trying to figure out whatever the heck was a 'cushaw'.
"How do we get there?" Cody asked as everyone got back in the car.
"We just follow that road,"Ahsoka said as they drove up.
An employee hid under the tent, the apple orchard to their left.
Ahsoka took charge again, her friends standing behind her. "Is this where we pick apples?"
A woman, with green eyes, cropped orange and red hair, and a gray headband said "Yes. You pay for the size of the bag." She gestured at a sign. It said 'Peck: $10.00, Bushel: $15.00' The woman resumed talking. "Peck's smaller, Bushel's bigger. You pay first, then you go fill the bag. Twist the apple stems and they come right off. Pull on 'em and 10 apples fall down, mostly on your head."
"I guess I'll take a peck!" Ahsoka said, digging through her little purse and finding a ten-dollar bill. The lady handed her a small bag. Echo and Fives would share a bushel. Same with Rex and Cody. When Cody stepped up to the table to pay, it looked like he recognized her. The lady just glared back at him.
"Thanks!" Ahsoka said with a grin and they headed off.
The trees were full of them. Bright, shiny, perfect, delicious apples. They started picking right away.
"Remember, twist don't-" Ahsoka warned just as Fives did the exact opposite, all the apples falling on him.
Everyone laughed, even Fives.
"Hmph. So about that woman under the tent...she's your ex, Cody?" Fives asked, twisting off an apple.
"No."Cody looked at Fives. "She's Bo-Katan Kryze. She goes to a different school than us, and her older sister, Satine, dates Obi-Wan."
"Oh...well-speak of the devil!"Ahsoka looked behind them. Her friends Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Padme Amidala. They were two years older than Ahsoka and her friends.
"Hey Ahsoka, Rex!" Anakin and Padme waved from a couple trees down.
"Hello there." Obi-Wan said. "How are you doing?"
"Just great."Ahsoka smiled. "How about you?"
"Also great!" Padme said.
"Talk to you later!" Ahsoka called out as Obi-Wan, Padme, and Anakin moved on to another row.
"Wonder who else we'll see here?" Echo speculated.
"If I see Lux and Steela…" Ahsoka said, trying not to sound aggressive. Lux Bonteri was a high school ex-boyfriend. Ahsoka was very happy when she was with him. But Steela and Saw Gerera just HAD to move to their school. And Lux liked Steela more than Ahsoka. And now they went to college with Ahsoka and her friends. Siiiiiiiiiiigh.
"Picture time!" Ahsoka announced. All her friends came behind her so they could get in the selfie.
Ahsoka took and posted the picture, captioning it with: Me and the boys apple picking! With: -Rexster -Codyman212 -All5s & -Say_That_Again
Some minutes later, everyone's bags were full to bursting with apples. They walked out of the orchard, chatting about stuff.
"So, Ahsoka, what are you majoring in?"Echo asked.
Ahsoka thought, then said "I'm majoring in Astronomy!"
"You're going to be an Astronomer"
"Yep! I love seeing all the stars, so why not make it a living?"Ahsoka happily shrugged. "What about you, Echo?"
"Computer Science." Echo replied.
"Just Computer Science?"
"Yep."
As Echo, Fives, Cody, Ahsoka, and Rex emerged from the trees, Anakin and his friends were getting ready to leave, too. As Padme and her boyfriend got into the hunk of brown junk that he called a truck, Obi-Wan looked at the trees. He set his peck of apples on top of his car, then went and picked one last apple.
Under the tent, Bo-Katan Kryze was joined by a new colleague, probably the next person to take the shift. The new person had black spiky hair, face red from maybe yelling or anger?. After Obi-Wan got his one last apple that he forgot to pay for, the new guy noticed, looked at him and yelled "KENOBI! YOU. SHALL. PAY!"
Obi-Wan sped out of there. They did too, not wanting to fall under his wraith.
As they were driving away, Ahsoka asked "Everyone enjoy that, or was it a waste of time?"
Everyone replied that they enjoyed it, but Fives added loudly. "STILL, WHAT THE HECK IS A CUSHAW?"
"One of the grand mysteries of the universe." Cody said, everyone chuckling after.
It took less time to get back to campus, because Ahsoka remembered all the directions. Ahsoka blasted songs by Fall Out Boy from her phone, everyone (trying) to sing along or doing the air guitar.
-0-0-0-
Ahsoka dropped off the boys at their dorm building. Cody, Echo, and Fives got out of the car.
Rex was about to leave, but Ahsoka stopped him. "Rexy, you seriously thought I would let you go without a kiss?"
"Oh, alright."said Rex, blushing. They kissed over the console-thing that was between the passenger and driver's seat. When they pulled apart, Ahsoka giggled.
"Bye, Rexy."
"Bye, lil'un."
Ahsoka drove back to her dorm building, singing to herself.
If you're gonna love me make sure that you do it right
I'll be under your window in the moonlight
Oh I tend to keep my heart locked up watertight
All ya gotta do is meet me after midnight
When she got to the room, she found Barriss on the couch, watching Nailed It, on Netflix.
Barriss looked away from the TV at Ahsoka, and asked "Where were you?"
Ahsoka smiled "Apple picking!"
What did you think? About the music: I just feel like Ahsoka would listen to music that I would ^-^
