Just to warn you, this chapter is a little… strange, I guess is the word for it. There's a comment about shoe-throwing, if you get where I'm going with this… don't you hate mild writer's block? 'Cause this is all I could come up with when I wrote this.
Every distinguished Jedi Knight is sure to turn out for the event of the New Year- the Senate's Annual Fundraiser to Help Poor Blokes on Miserable Outer Rim Planets. (SAFHPBMOR) Tonight I shall be interviewing the folks as they come down the hall to the dinner's main room.
To join me in the interview is my escort, Qui-Gon Jinn.
First down the hall is Grand Jedi Master Yoda and his date, Jedi Master Yaddle. Yoda is wearing a custom-made tuxedo, and Yaddle a glittery black dress that is not age-appropriate.
"Welcome, Masters. Yaddle, where did you get that… wonderful dress?" I asked.
"In the back of my closet, it was. From my Muppet days, it is," Yaddle replied.
"We can tell," Qui-Gon muttered, trying hard not to stare at Yaddle. The geezers ignored him as they slowly shuffled away.
Next came Obi-Wan Kenobi and his date, Adi Gallia.
"Adi?" I shrieked.
"Obi-Wan!" Qui-Gon roared. "What did I tell you about older women?"
"That they like settling down and expensive face lifts," Obi-Wan grumbled, still keeping his arm linked around Adi's. This made me frown, because I am older than Qui-Gon by a few months.
"…And how has your relationship been so far?" I asked.
Adi looked dumbfounded. "What relationship? He does just hear to shield me from any flying shoes someone may choose to fling."
"Alright, then," I said cautiously. "Have a great night."
Slouching in right behind them were Siri Tachi and Garen Muln. Garen wore a silver suit coat and leggings- like all the holonet stars-but his fake mohawk looked like a tornado had skimmed it. It was awful. (See page 14.) Siri wore an elegant red dress and jacket.
"You two back together?" Qui-Gon cheerfully asked.
"Yuh-huh," Garen grumbled.
"Sure," Siri yawned.
"Can we go now?" Garen begged.
"Sure," I replied, mimicking Siri. "And best wishes to the happy couple." Garen gave me the peace sign and dragged Siri away.
Striding in like the Queen of Naboo were once again Adi Gallia with… Mace Windu!
"Adi? I thought you were with Obi-Wan," I remarked.
"I am. I'm on a… double date, I guess it's called," Adi explained. "See, Mace asked me, and since I really don't like Obi-Wan, I figured I would sneak away every now in than to be with my other date."
At that, Qui-Gon muttered a string of expletives about Adi cheating on Obi-Wan. It got us kicked out of the Senate building, and the rest of the night was history, as far as we know.
Letters to the editor:
Dear Tahl,
Oh, I really hope you continue with your tabloid! Please, elaborate on Yaddle's dress! Include pictures!
--Yodel
Dear Tahl,
Yodel, again. Do you mind frequently updating us on Yaddle's relationship with Yoda? As a rare species, I like to stay informed on breeding and such.
--Yodel
Do you want me to continue this report on the SAFHPBMOR? Or Just move on, 'cause Tahl hasn't gotten revenge on Qui-Gon?
---Just a little more begging: If anyone is interested in writing something, please come to my contest forum! I love story challenges! But they aren't that challenging with only 2/3 people. -_-
