So, hey! You're stuck with me, Reese, because Eppy Liz is on school journey. For those of you who don't know, I'm the previous author's sister. She'll be back soon though, I just didn't think you lovely people deserved to have to wait two and a halfish weeks for an update. And I feel like corrupting her stories. Mwahahahahaha.
Reese: So, um, hey guys!
*collective mumbling*
Reese: Has my sister been making you do unspeakably embarrassing things?
*more collective mumbling*
Reese: Don't worry, you've got me now! And we will be performing the 'Work Song', so I need Anakin, and two random people. Let's have... Female Jedi and Green Alien!
Anakin: You know, I like you.
Reese: Thanks, hun. Now. PLACES EVERYBODY! I AM GOING TO BE STRICT ABOUT THIS!
Anakin: *stupid grinning*
Reese: Honestly, Anakin honey, you've got a wife. Don't look at me like that.
Padmé: ANAKIN, YOU'RE BREAKING MY HEART! FOR THE SECOND TIME TODAY!
Anakin: Well, I'm sorry.
Reese: You better be, cheating on people ain't a good sign in a man. But, Luke, hun -
Luke: Yeah?
Reese: I'm single. Bear that in mind.
Luke: Um... OK...
Reese: Right, c'mon! We're rolling people, rolling!
Anakin: Freedom is mine. The earth is still.
I feel the wind. I breathe again.
And the sky clears
The world is waking.
Drink from the pool. How clean the taste.
Never forget the years, the waste.
Nor forgive them
For what they've done.
They are the guilty - everyone.
The day begins...
And now lets see
What this new world
Will do for me!
Reese: Anakin, honey, did you really just sing that whole verse without making one single comment about your life.
Anakin: Yup.
Reese: Didn't think a pathetic creature such as yourself was capable of doing anything right.
Anakin: I thought you liked me!
Reese: Hun, that's my sister. I like Luke.
Luke: I'm flattered. I think.
Reese: Don't mention it. Right, continue!
Green Alien: You'll have to go
I'll pay you off for the day
Collect your bits and pieces there
And be on your way.
Anakin: Bwah? Excuse me? I was a Jedi hero, a saviour, a master -
Reese: You turned to the dark side. love. You killed your wife.
Anakin: No I didn't! She died in childbirth!
Reese: She died of a broken heart, doofus. Guess who broke it? You.
Padmé: *raised eyebrows*
Reese: It's OK hun, they'll be other men. Believe me, single lives are great.
Padmé: We're... still together... in the afterlife.
Reese: Dump him. He's useless.
Padmé: Are you trying to give me dating advice?
Reese: Course not. I'm trying to give you dumping advice.
Anakin: Excusez-moi? You have given me half
What the other men get!
This handful of tin
Wouldn't buy my sweat!
Reese: Ew. Why would anyone want to buy your sweat? I mean, come on, it's disgusting. And of course he's given you no money, you turned to the dark side!
Anakin: I was redeemed.
Reese: Too late. You already killed about half a million people. You don't deserve redemption. You are a useless, imbecilic, idiotic, pathetic, snivelling -
Anakin: That's enough...
Green Alien: Ahem. You broke the law
It's there for people to see
Why should you get the same
As honest men like me?
Anakin: Because, erm, er... LUKE! I AM YOUR FATHER!
Luke: Dad. We sorted this out ages ago. Shut up.
Anakin: But I'm not a normal dad, I'm a cool dad, right, Leia?
Leia: Please stop talking. Now.
Anakin: Now every door is closed to me
Another jail. Another key. Another chain
For when I come to any town
They check my papers
And they find the mark of Cain
In their eyes I see their fear
`We do not want you here.' Why didn't this dude just chuck away these damn papers?
Reese: Hun, let's not run before we can walk.
Female Jedi: My rooms are full
And I've no supper to spare
I'd like to help a stranger
All we want is to be fair
Anakin: You little *$^%! There is a room right there! Right there!
Reese: HUN! THIS FIC IS K+! NO LANGUAGE!
Anakin: youlittlemeaniepantswhoputyouinchargeanywayiprefer redyoursistershewasawesomecozshesaidiwasaweomeandy eah.
Reese: What was that, hun?
Anakin: Nothing...
Reese: Thought so.
Anakin: I will pay in advance
I can sleep in a barn
You see how dark it is
I'm not some kind of dog!
Green Alien: You leave my house
Or feel the weight of my rod
We're law-abiding people here
Thanks be to God.
Anakin: And now I know how freedom feels
The jailer always at your heels
It is the law!
This piece of paper in my hand
That makes me cursed throughout the land
It is the law!
Like a cur
I walk the street,
The dirt beneath their feet.
Reese: No, no, no, honey. You're singing it all wrong.
Anakin: How?
Reese: You just are. Deal with it. Right! Qui-Gon Jinn! Let's have some Bishop action over hear!
Qui-Gon: Come in, Sir, for you are weary,
And the night is cold out there.
Though our lives are very humble
What we have, we have to share.
There is wine here to revive you.
There is bread to make you strong,
There's a bed to rest till morning,
Rest from pain, and rest from wrong.
Reese: No one should be nice to Anakin. He's such a !£$ &.
Anakin: You little hypocrite...
Reese: I'm the temporary author. What I say goes.
Anakin: He let me eat my fill
I had the lion's share
The silver in my hand
Cost twice what I had earned
In all those nineteen years -
That lifetime of despair
And yet he trusted me.
The old fool trusted me -
He'd done his bit of good
I played the grateful serf
And thanked him like I should
But when the house was still,
I got up in the night.
Took the silver!
Took my flight!
Reese: I mean, darlings, that's such an Anakin thing to do, isn't it? He's just the sort of person who would be mean and horrible like that.
Leia: He. Is. The. Worst. Dad. Ever.
Anakin: I can hear you!
Reese: Hun, that was the point.
Yeah, so I was wondering if anyone wanted to join my sister in, um, controlling these people? 'Cause if you do, can you leave it in a review? :D
Reese xx
