Yes, I promised to have another chapter of AitRA up soonish- and I am working on it, promise. I thank all you lovely people who took time to review. It may not seem like it, but I am appreciative.

But I have just had a whole pile of exams, coursework deadlines, and general stess, since the summer, and I'm not used to it. I will get used to it, but the first half term has had me ripping my hair out.

So I decided on writing up some comedy, to make me feel happier. Yes, it may not be terribly funny (in fact, to me, it seems like a bizarre mix of dry sarcasm and ridiculous slapstick... which doesn't make good humour)

But I like... er... (writing? typing?) it. I find it easier.

Soooo... enjoy this lovely (rather short) chapter.

And yes, yes... fairly obviously (I would hope) Star Wars is not my creation.

Chapter 4.

Obi-Wan sat at the deserted table, finishing off his bantha burger and pretending he couldn't hear the noise that was deafening everyone else in the diner.

"Conga, conga, conGA! Conga, conga, conGA!"

The younglings had succeeded in covering the diner, and many of it customers, in sticky crumbs, and had now started a conga line, with Anakin at the lead.

Every face in the line was a picture of sheer joy, and Obi-Wan didn't want to spoil their fun. Or, maybe, he didn't want to have to stop them, and was leaving it to Dex.

Dex wasn't doing a very good job of preventing his diner from being mutilated.

In fact, he seemed unaware of his patrons' discomfort, and was clapping his four giant hands together, booming with laughter.

However, fifteen minutes later, when the younglings had started, quite literally, bouncing off the walls, Obi-Wan decided it was time to step in.

"Excuse me, please!" He called. Quite obviously, it made no difference. Frowning his best Jedi frown, he stepped in front of Anakin.

"STOP!" He bellowed.

The line stopped. The younglings crashed. Quite quickly, a large pile of sticky, laughing children formed in the middle of the diner, with Anakin at the bottom.

"Mfffter." Anakin tried to call, with his face squished against the floor; "Mfffter, fr fshin mf."

"Sorry Anakin, I didn't quite get that." Obi-Wan said cheerfully. "But if you said, 'Please can I get the younglings cleaned up, and then can I drive the bus and never eat cake again', then most certainly."

If looks could kill, and if Anakin could actually have made eye contact with Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan would be very dead by now.

As Obi-Wan was not dead, he managed to get all the younglings off of Anakin. Yes, they were still giggling, hiccupping, and very very messy, but they seemed perfectly healthy after their pile-up. Well, there seemed to be no broken bones, at least.

Unfortunately, the same could not be said for Anakin.

He stood up, cast the evil eyebrow look he was so very famous for at everyone, and brushed himself down.

"I blame you, Master." He grumbled. "This was your idea."

Obi-Wan shrugged.

"Shall we, er, get back on the bus then?" he suggested. "Oh, and I'm very sorry, Dex, I'm sure I'll be able to sell something from the temple to pay for the damages-"

Dex, who seemed to have recovered from his hysterical laughter, shook his head and waved his giant hands.

"No worries Obi-Wan, but if you bring them back, you won't be so welcome next time!" And he went back into his kitchen, chuckling. Obi-Wan shook his head.

They all managed to get back into the bus relatively painlessly, when Obi-Wan thought it would be best to do a head-count.

"Master, do you even know how many we set out with?" Anakin asked, uncertainly. Obi-Wan frowned at him.

"Of course I do! Just because you forget everything five seconds after it's told to you…"

Anakin sighed angrily as Obi-Wan strode to the back of the bus. When he came back, he didn't seem too happy.

"Anakin," he said, worriedly, "I think we lost one."

The horn beeped loudly as Anakin hit his head against the steering wheel.

Tada. There it is. I hope you enjoyed reading it, even though it probably only took up about twelve seconds of your time.

I'm in a sarcastic rambling mood today.

Please review, it makes me grin like a hamster.
