I feel like Clara Oswald from this really, really good AU called Teacher's Pet, in which Clara - in this matter, me - received a big shock about her history paper. And while I hadn't turned in my history paper (but instead had my history teacher check it out), I still found out that I. Am. Not. Good. At. Writing. About. History. Only, in the AU, Clara falls in love with her professor and the two end up having a cool relationship and la-de-da. Aaand I'm not in love with my history teacher. Not in that way. Ick. He's cool, though.
Huh. I'm currently wondering what his reaction would be if he found out I was indirectly talking about him. *grimace and hides underneath my desk*
Sleighs
"So…tell me again why we're doing this?" Ahsoka Tano whispered to Captain Rex. The two were both seated at the back of an unusually large, wooden, boat-like structure. Only it wasn't on the water. And it didn't sail. Instead, it was on the snow-covered ground, and it seemed that the only way the vehicle could move was by animal. And sure enough, two hairy, neighing beasts were up at the front of the structure, pulling everyone along in the process.
"I thought it was a good idea," Ahsoka heard her master say from the front of the structure. Ahsoka looked down from her position. "Dunno – it doesn't look or feel that safe to be in," she said uncertainly. Anakin let out a scoffing sound. "This is a sleigh, Snips – of course; it doesn't look or feel safe to be in." Then, with a wide grin, the older man added, "But that's why I like it!" He patted the wood, saying, "Besides, it's pretty impressive for something that wasn't constructed by machine."
Ahsoka rolled her eyes and giving Rex a knowing look, mouthed, Here we go again.
"Saw that," Anakin said, flicking the Togruta on the arm. "Aren't you even a bit impressed at how people made this with their own hands?"
"No," Ahsoka replied flatly. "And just for the record, Rex agrees with me. Right, Rex?" She turned expectantly to the captain. Anakin frowned, following Ahsoka's gaze. After a beat of unsure silence, Rex simply said, "I have no comment on the matter." At that, both Ahsoka and Anakin groaned - one out of disappointment, the other out of the knowledge that Rex had only said that to avoid argument.
"You two are ridiculous," Anakin said, shaking his head sadly. "This is a real piece of art and no one appreciates it."
Ahsoka only stared after her master, eye-markings lifted. She let out a little huff and turned to the captain, shaking her head incredulously. Though Rex was wearing his helmet, Ahsoka could sense the captain returning the words with the same expression. They both silently agreed on one thing – Sleighs. Who knew?
A/N - Oh, don't look at me like that - I feel like Anakin would totally be some engineering dork. Hence his fascination with the sleigh. And Ahsoka and Rex would just wonder what the heck happened to him. Hee.
Reviews are always great! Constructive criticism is welcome, but flames are not!
