Here's Chapter Four!! Thank you to all of you who reviewed, and as promised, I'll Love You forever!!
Anakin looked at the water noodles with a confused expression, before looking at Yoda with an even more confused expression. Kit had a 'Oh no not more' look upon his face, while Aayla looked about ready to wrap her hands around Yoda's scrawny neck and squeeze until his green face turned a deep purple before laughing like a manic. But, thanks to her Jedi training, she restrained herself.
Yoda leaned back in his chair. " Explained, in the pamphlet this trail is." He grinned wickedly. "Fun, I'm sure you shall have." Aayla stomped over to one of the noodles, grabbed it before storming dramatically out of the room. Kit watched her go before turning meekly to Obi-wan. " Hey, are we still on for drinks next week?" Obi-wan nodded pleasantly before going back to reading the Pamphlet.
Aayla paced in front of Kit frustrated. " A water noodle! What the hell am I supposed to do with a fricken water noodle?" Kit looked from reading the glossy pamphlet. " Maybe if you read this than you would know." Aayla turned o him " Well you already read it so lets hear it shorty." Kit glared at her. " I'm taller than you!" Aayla rolled her eyes, " Your still short." Kit stood up, then thought better of it and sat back down, " I'm vertically impaired."
Obi-wan looked at the front of the pamphlet apprehensively. "Well, Yoda can't write a riddle to save his life but the guy can sure Photoshop." Anakin snatched the pamphlet out of his friend's hands. "This is not the time?" He looked at the cover, which showed a very muscular Yoda sitting on the shoulders of a supermodel, and beating a padawan with a noodle mercilessly. " Hey, isn't this padawan the same one who thought I was having a heart attack?" Obi-wan shrugged and so Anakin opened the pamphlet. " Whack a Jedi." Obi-wan stood up "What!" Anakin pointed to the title of the page he was reading, "The next trial is a game called Whack a Jedi." Anakin put on his best story telling voice and continued. " In Whack a Jedi, your team must go down to the pool, and one of you must sit on your partners shoulders. You must then duel another team, who is also atop each other's shoulders, and try to use the noodle to knock each other off their partner. First person to fall off loses." Anakin looked up at Obi-wan " Well that makes perfect sense, uh, Obi-wan?" Obi's head jerked up " Oh, sorry about that, I nodded off, um, what did you say?" Anakin sighed. " I'm gonna sit on your shoulders and use the noodle to knock someone into the pool." Obi-wan rubbed his arms. " Do we have to?" Anakin rolled his eyes. " No." Obi perked up " Really?" Anakin gave him a 'Duh' look. "NO!"
Adi Gallia walked towards the Swimming area with a frazzled and annoyed aura. After being surrounded all day by Vacation crazy Jedi, she was ready to relax and have a nice swim. Yes, she thought, here I will be able to escape the madness that is consuming the temple. Adi smiled and went into the Poolroom, and stopped dead in her tracks. In the pool, a very unhappy looking Obi-wan Kenobi was supporting a crazed looking Anakin Skywalker, who was wielding a golden water noodle. And several feet away, atop Plo Koon, was an equally crazed looking Depa Billaba. With a yell, Plo charged Team Kenobi-Skywalker. Plo and Obi engaged in a slapping fight, while Anakin and Depa began a fierce noodle duel, all while yelling instructions to their respective mounts.
"MASTER BILLABA WHAT ARE YOU DOING" Depa looked over to the horrified Adi, and was swiftly knocked off of Plo by a very, very triumphant Anakin.
Anakin pounded his chest and let out a fanatical war cry, before a very, very tired Obi-wan dumped him into the pool. Obi rubbed his shoulders and muttered, " This is not how I envisioned bonding time." Anakin waded over to him and clapped his friend on the back. " We did it master! Now we can get one of the lightsabers we need!" Obi-wan gave him an odd look. " Maybe." Ani returned Obi's odd look with one of his own. " What do you mean maybe." Obi-wan shook his head and started wading over to where Yoda was daintily testing the temperature of the water with his foot. Obi-wan called back over his shoulder" I have a hunch."
A soaked Depa stormed over to Adi with a look on her face that clearly said ' I'm gonna kill you bitch.' Depa went to her and gave Adi a little shove. " What the sith possessed you to distract me? Now Plo and I have to do that stupid trial all over again if we want to get the lightsabers! What is wrong with you?!?!?!" Adi stared at Depa. "Master Billaba, I thought you where above this trivial game, and where in agreement with me that it is a waste of time!" Depa rolled her eyes. "Oh come on Gallia, you just aren't competing cause you know you'll lose." Adi raised an eyebrow. " Pardon me?" Depa sneered and replied. " Whoever wins this gets a three week trip to Anadona Alpha, do you actually expect me to believe that you don't want that?" Depa sniffed disdainfully, "Well I am going to get that trip. And the only way to advance from this trial is to win against another team. So now I have to fight THEM!" Depa pointed at Aayla and Kit getting into the pool. "Thanks a lot Gallia."
" Are you sure we should do this." Aayla pulled hard on one of Kit's tentacles. " Don't be such a baby." Kit waded over till the water was up to his chest, and turned to face Team Billaba-Koon. Depa bared her teeth and snarled at Aayla, who in turn whirled the noodle above her head. After a pregnant pause, Plo and Kit charged each other.
Anakin sat sullenly and watched the fight. He kind of wished he could be fighting Aayla. I'd show her what happens when you call me Blondie! But sadly, Anakin sighed, he had not fought her, and was now listening to Obi-wan complain about another of Yoda's riddles. Why can't he just give us a lightsaber already? Were on trial four and still nothing! Anakin put his head in his hands. All this for a vacation.
Will Team Secura-Fisto beat Team Billaba-Koon? Stay tuned, and while you tuning, you can review!
