Hanging Up

Disclaimer: Don't own yada yada yada.

A/N: I realise this is probably horrendously not canon in any shape or form but the idea popped into my head and just wouldn't leave. Consider it way AU. There's probably some OOC moments and I apologise. Enjoy. This is dedicated to arliddian for encouraging this insanity.


Mara groaned and shifted in her bunk. She had gone to bed over an hour ago but hadn't been able to get to sleep. And it was all because of Skywalker. Why she had agreed to go on this stupid mission with him escaped her. He was really pushing it this time.

They were going to leave the planet sometime tomorrow and then Skywalker could return to his stupid Jedi life and his even stupider girlfriend. It wasn't that Mara hated Callista. She just wanted to put a hole through her head every time she saw her.

But what was annoying her at this particular moment was her relationship to the Jedi Master was disturbing Mara's sleep. You see, Luke hadn't stopped talking to the body snatcher all night.

To give him the illusion of privacy, she left the main area and went to bed. The Farmboy hadn't appreciated her efforts considering his whiny voice had been annoying her all night.

It was getting late and she had heard Luke say his final goodbye. She prepared herself for sweet, sweet silence. Instead, she heard the unthinkable.

"You hang up!" Luke's muffled, whiny voice came through.

Mara sat upright. No…not the Jedi Master. It couldn't be.

"No YOU hang up!" he semi-squealed.

Lovey-dovey chatter between the body snatcher and Skywalker was one thing but this was getting ridiculous. She made her decision. No way was Mara Jade going to waste her sleep tonight.

"You hang up!" Luke said once more as he watched Mara stalk into the room.

"No Callista! You hang…"

Mara quickly snatched the commlink out of his hand and threw it against the wall, breaking it into small pieces.

He stared at her dumfounded as she stormed out of the room yelling, "I'll hang up!"
