Chapter 3- The Umpires
"That man doesn't sing very well," Padme said. "Neither can you Anakin," she said as Anakin opened his mouth to sing. He closed his mouth and looked offended. She rolled her eyes as he looked pathetically at her.
"You'd look sexy in a cheerleading outfit," he said to her. She laughed.
Han looked disgusted. "Thanks for the visual," he muttered.
"Who are our umpires?"Obi-Wan asked Qui-Gon. Qui-Gon shrugged as he popped a few sunflower seeds in his mouth.
"Are those salted?" Luke asked Qui-Gon as he looked hungrily at the seeds.
"Yes."
"Can I have some?"
"No."
A few minutes later, two men appeared on the field. One of them was tall, had short salt-and-pepper hair, and wore a blood-red robe. Compared to his companion, he was old. The other was tall too, with long dark hair past his shoulders and wore an elegant gray robe. He looked noble.
"I assume Chancellor Palpatine is one of the umpires," Obi-Wan said
"Thank you Captain Obvious," Qui-Gon muttered under his breath. He strode out on to the field, as did Aragorn from the Fellowship dugout. Everybody shook hands.
"I'm Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn," Qui-Gon politely introduced himself.
Aragorn went next. "I'm Aragorn, King of Gondor."
"I am Supreme Chancellor Palpatine," the older man said. "I'll be the umpire of the bases."
"I am Lord Elrond, and I shall be the umpire behind home plate." The man wearing the gray robe said last.
"Would you like the field first, or would your team rather bat?" Aragorn asked.
Qui-Gon looked over at his team. Anakin and Padme were flirting, Yoda was trying to put his large glove on, and Luke was still whining about sunflower seeds. "We'll field."
