Chapter 3: More Friends?

Hey guys! Wasn't so long this time, now was it? By the way, thank you SO SO SO SO SO SO etc. much for reviewing! I wish you sunshine, lollipops (or whatever candy you like) and rainbows! Alright, time for the disclaimer.

Wise and Cumbersome Disclaimer Says: Firecracker does not own Star Wars, Harry Potter, Laughing Phoenix, Care Bears, Rice Krispie Treats, Wii, A Very Potter Musical, Taboo, Beanie Babies, Lord of the Rings, Gummi Bears, Chad Vader, or any of the songs/ artists mentioned in this chapter.

By the way, italics is singing. Or thoughts.

BANG! The door to the Fun Room had been shoved open, allowing Laughing Phoenix to barrel in, her breath ragged. She stormed over to Firecracker and shouted in her ear

"URGENT MESSAGE! URGENT MESSAGE!" Firecracker winced.

"That's the second time you screamed in my ear today!" complained Firecracker.

"Hey, this time I only shouted. Anyway, didn't you say you were having the big dinner at seven tonight?" asked Laughing Phoenix.

"Yeah, why?"

"BECAUSE IT'S 6:30!"

"OH HIPPOGRIFF DUNG! Thank Merlin we can use magic! Okay… Everyone, since I still don't trust you guys to be on your own in the FFFHT, everyone follow me. You don't have to cook, just stay near the kitchen."

"But I wanna finish my power cruising game!" Han whined. "I'm getting really good! I'm kicking Luke's butt!" Luke looked very annoyed about this.

"Sure Han, you can stay here! You just won't get any dinner!" said Firecracker cheerfully, looking smug.

"Ummm…. Standing by the kitchen is my favorite hobby!"

"That's what I thought".

IN THE KITCHEN: Only Firecracker and Phoenix are in here. The rest of the people are… somewhere.

""Kay, what are we making?" asked Phoenix.

Chicken , green beans, mashed potatoes, and apple pie".

"PIE PIE PIE PIE PIE PIE PIE PIE PIE !" sang Phoenix, crashing into a stack of dirty dishes, which collapsed and buried her. Firecracker ignored her friends predicament, and Accioed chicken soup ingredients into a pot and made the water boil. Phoenix emerged from the clutter, yanking a half-eaten Rice Krispie Treat out of her long, red, tangled hair.

"Hey, let's sing a Happy Working Song while we work!" suggested Firecracker.

"We'll keep singing without fail, otherwise we'd spoil it, hosing down the garbage pail, and scrubbing up the toilet – Ooh! How we all enjoy letting loose with a little la-da-da-dum-dum, while we're emptying the vacu-um, it's such fun to hum a happy working song, oo-ooh, a happy working song!" They burst into peals of laughter. Thank goodness everything was done! Well, the pie was only half done, but don't worry about that, because there is no way these two would let a dinner pass by without pie. Ooh, a rhyme!

-6:55 P.M.: The Food Room

"Alright, we've got some totally yummilicious food here!" said Firecracker cheerfully.

Present were all the good guys except Luke and Han. So, the first words out of Phoenix's mouth were "Where's Luke and Han?". Obi-Wan replied "They went back to finish their Whee game". (Obi didn't know the spelling of Wii at that point.)

"The imbeciles! Oh well… I'll go get them." Nothing really interesting happened during that small time frame, so we'll just skip to the part where dinner is about to start. Ooh, another rhyme! Anyway, everyone was seated. Firecracker was at the head of the table, with Phoenix to her left. Remember: Always keep your ally on the side with your crappy (non-dominant) hand.

"Where's Va- Oh!" Phoenix saw Vader marching in, Poopatine in tow. Once Poopatine finally crossed the threshold of the Food Room, Firecracker immediately said "You're late." As usual, Poopatine looked furious. "I- You- You said we could come up to 10 minutes late!"

"No, I said Vader could come 10 minutes late, because he was actually going to work on some laser thingamabob. You, however, gave me no excuse. So, instead of the dinner you see, you get to eat our signature Yucky Casserole! It contains lima beans, mold, tartar sauce, sardine kidneys, uncooked hot dogs, hot sauce, spoiled milk, and tripe. Accio Yucky Casserole! Now, Movius Casserole To Poopatinious!" The horrifying substance drifted over to Poopatine, who was stuck in the Time Out Chair. "Everybody else – dig in!" They all began nom-nom-nomming, except Vader, who said

"How am I supposed to eat?". Firecracker facepalmed.

"Sorry, I meant to give you this earlier. Open it.", she said, handing him a box. On the outside, it read "Burned Helmet Head Easy Razor Thin Slice Cutter – Easier Munching For People Who Got Burned Up In Lava!". Vader took it, and said

"Er… Thanks." And began to chop up some chicken.

"Ah, such scintillating conversation!" said Phoenix sarcastically, to much laughter.

"Oh yeah, I was supposed to make an announcement! Tomorrow, some more people will be showing up! Most of them are supermegafoxyawesomehot – FIERCE! Hopefully, you will like them.". After this statement, everybody started shouting and asking questions. So Firecracker pressed her Almighty Giant Taboo Button of Getting People to Shut Up (or Taboo Button for short), and everyone stopped talking, except for R2-D2 and Chewbacca. "Okay, these people are not from your galaxy, and they will be staying here, just like you guys. Don't worry, they have separate rooms with their own complimentary big-eyed collectible Beanie Babies. Try not to kill them."

"We won't have to share bathrooms, will we?" asked Leia, concerned.

"No, I'm pretty sure I constructed this so that we'll only have to start sharing when we reach 250 people. Or something along those lines" replied Firecracker. Leia breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly –

SPLOIT! Some mashed potatoes had landed on Han's forehead. He looked quite peeved.

"Ahem – potatoes? Real mature… who did this?" demanded Han.

"POE-TAY-TOES!" exclaimed Firecracker, channeling her inner Sam Gamgee. "Anyway, I think you might find your culprit diagonally from you" she said, motioning towards a snickering Boba Fett.

"YOU!" snarled Han, enraged. "Oh, you are IN for it!" He grabbed a handful of green beans and lobbed them at Boba Fett. They hit him on the top of his head. Most of them bounced off, but one remained lodged on the top of his helmet like a weird green bird in a weird hard nest.

"BATTLE TIME!" screamed Phoenix joyfully. Man, that girl screams a lot. Food was flying everywhere. A wishbone was stuck in Firecracker's hair like a demented barrette. Phoenix's T-shirt was covered in gravy. Vader had a big blob of mashed potatoes on his helmet that looked vaguely reminiscent of one of those ludicrous 17th century man wigs. Luke had green beans all over his shirt, Chewbacca had an abundance of artificial cherry filling in his fur, and Poopatine was an unrecognizable blob of chicken skin, mashed potatoes, gravy, and Yucky Casserole. Leia had fled the room as soon as there were multiple food projectiles in order to save her hairdo. The fighting had finally ceased, since there was no more food to hurl.

Annoying Internal Voice: Eww!

Me: Not that kind of hurl Anyway, back to the story!

"You know, Poopatine," said Firecracker in a faux-thoughtful voice "I think I was wrong when I gave you a nickname."

"Thank the Sith-"

" Since you're not exactly the manliest guy around," she continued, cutting Poopatine off "I figured your current name was pretty good, but a bit too masculine. I thought Poopatina had a nice ring to it!" He looked befuddled.

"You didn't even change it-"

"Not Poopatine" she said, cutting him off again. "Poopatina." This was too much for the others, and they all burst out in raucous laughter, while Vader had another 'coughing fit'. Poopatina's head resembled a large prune. Suddenly, everyone remembered they were covered in food, and went to their respective rooms to go change. Everyone, that is, except Firecracker and Phoenix, who stayed to clean up. It only involved a few cleaning spells, but no one else knew that!

And so comes the close of this first day at the FFFHT… By the way, Phoenix slept over that night. Anyway, since hearing about people snore probably isn't very interesting to you guys, I will just skip to the morning, at 9:36 A.M. Yay!

"We've gotten ourselves into a real puzzle" said Phoenix.

"Quite a conundrum." Firecracker agreed. Before them was a mess of wires, circuits, light bulbs, glowing orbs of light that were magic, not light bulbs, and Gummi Bears, all on one small circular panel. They were not having an easy time of arranging everything correctly. All this fuss to make a green button! Suddenly, they heard a crackle. And another! And another! And-

"Oh, MANTICORE BARF! We almost had it! If only that one wire was long enough to connect to that stupid yellow Gummi Bear!"

"I never liked the yellow ones. Hey, do I hear mechanized breathing or is that just me?" asked Phoenix

"Uhhh… That's not just you! Hurry, hide the project!" They quickly stood side by side, mostly concealing the wires and such. They were just in time, because at that moment Vader stepped in… but not into a bucket.

"Well, if it isn't a Dark Lord of the Sith!" said Firecracker in what sounded like a mix of a British accent and an Irish brogue. It wasn't that great. "Top o' the mornin' to ya, sir!"

"Ah, good day, sir!" said Phoenix in a high British accent. "Jolly good weather, isn't' it?"

"Sure… Hey, what's that?" He tried to get past to the soon-to-be-button. Both girls drew their lightsabers. Firecracker's was bright orange, while Phoenix's was yellow.

"YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" exclaimed Phoenix angrily.

"I can pass if I want to-"

"No. You. CAN'T!" Phoenix looked murderous, but Firecracker intervened before things got hideous.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Think happy thoughts! Sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows… Um… Puppies… Bunnies… Ice cream… Unicorns…" Phoenix calmed down a tiny bit.

"You would make the worst Sith Lord ever" Vader observed.

"Thank you! Now, we have work to do, and it's really none of your business. Why don't you go bowling? There's an alley only 6 rooms away."

"Ooookaaay…. Suddenly, leaving seems like a very good idea…" Vader walked away, creeped out. Phoenix and Firecracker watched the door close. Once it finally had…

"WE DID IT!" they shouted.

"Alright, let's get cracking on that button!" ordered Phoenix. And so they did.

10:26 A.M.: Still working on that blasted button!

Happily for our two OCs, no one else had bothered to intrude on their work. Unhappily, they still hadn't gotten the button to work. However, that was about to change.

"OMF YAY!" shouted Phoenix from the floor.

"Did you find a coupon for Rice Krispie Treats?" asked Firecracker eagerly.

"Better! It's a wire for the button! That's why we haven't gotten it to work all this time!"

"WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO! HARRY POTTER PEEPS, HERE WE COME! Actually, they're coming to us, but whatever! I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it!" So, after some more wire switching, it was finally time to put the button over the… mishmosh.

They arranged some chairs, and pressed the button. An epic tune began to play… the Harry Potter theme song! People fell from the ceiling…

HOORAY! THE HARRY POTTER PEEPS HAVE ARRIVED! Hope y'all are ready for the next chapter! By the way, Phoenix is just a shortening of Laughing Phoenix. Thanks for reviewing!
