...This actually happened. After I wrote this, I sent it to Seren, and her response was, "Wow. I think that was almost word-for-word!" So. Take that as you will. *shrugs* ;)

As always, please enjoy!

A little brown toad sat in the middle of the pathway, minding its own business, thinking its toady thoughts. It had no intent to be anything other than it was, and save for its breaths, it did not move a muscle. Its little toady eyes were closed, so it failed to see the two Jedi approaching.

Anakin walked along the path on Obi-Wan's right, laughing along with the elder Jedi until his eyes came to rest on the small toad sitting in the path directly in front of him. There was not enough room to comfortably pass it, there being only a meter to either side, so he did the only sensible thing; he dropped back a step and crossed behind Obi-Wan so that he was walking on the Master's other side, away from the toad.

Obi-Wan raised an eyebrow at his companion's shift, having seen both the toad and Anakin's faltering step. "What was that?"

"I don't like them," Anakin replied with a shrug. "I've told you that."

"No, you haven't."

"Really? I could have sworn I did."

"Hmm." Ten feet later, they happened upon another of the small creatures, and an evil thought crossed Obi-Wan's mind. He deftly stepped in front of the toad, intending to drive it toward Anakin, but it hopped around his foot, closer to the bushes. He tried again.

"I will hurt you," Anakin deadpanned.

The offending creature hopped over Obi-Wan's boot one last time, finally making it to the cover of the low foliage. Obi-Wan shrugged. "It wasn't cooperating anyway."

"And you wonder why I don't tell you these things." Anakin rolled his eyes, almost stepping directly onto – yet another – brown amphibian. "Kriff!" he shouted, jumping back.

Obi-Wan was having a hard time trying to keep from laughing aloud. "You really don't like those little things, do you?" he sniggered.

"…No."

Review, pretty please? But don't send me any toads. *deadpan stare* I will hurt you.

Review, please! Prompts welcome!
