Part 12

Part 2


The first show down was between a hutt and a Jawa. Needless to say, the Jawa won. Since the hutt had little stubby arms. So the Jawa would proceed to the next round. The next round was a Wookiee verses a Rodian. The Wookiee lost because he slipped on a random banana peel in the middle of the game. The Rodian would move on to the next round.

In the stands, the Jedi were all ready to cheer on Yaddle. Depa and Shaak had even made little banners with her name on them. They were all very excited. Obi-Wan just played his Gameboy. After about an hour of eliminations, Adi released she had to go to the restroom. So she did.

While in the ladies room, she heard two familiar voices.

"I'm telling you, just ask him!" One of them said.

"But I don't know if he likes me or not." The other replied.

"You'll never know if you don't ask him!" The first one retorted.

"Where have I heard those voices before?" Adi whispered to herself.

She stood up on the toilet and peeked over the stall door. Standing at the mirrors, primping, were two Twi'leks. A red one and a blue one. It was Na'sheemanah and Qecpfcne! Adi's hair and makeup stylists when she went undercover at the Miss Galaxy pageant! Adi exited the stall.

"Hey!" She greeted.

The two Twi-leks turned around. They both grinned from ear to ear.

"Noleta!" The both shrieked and threw their arms around Adi.

Adi winced, she hated to be touched. Who doesn't?

"Please, call me Adi." Adi said, as she shoved the two young girls off of her.

"What are you doing here?" Na'sheemanah asked.

"One of my friends is competing in the tournament. I came to support her." Adi replied, "Why are you two here?"

"Na'sheemanah here has a big crush on one of the competitors. So we came here from Corellia to watch him." Qecpfcne explained.

"You two came all the way to Courascant just to watch some stranger compete?" Adi asked.

"Yep." Na'sheemanah replied, proudly.

"We're stalkers." Qecpfcne added.

"Which player is it? I can get my friend to put in a good word for you." Adi suggested.

"He's tall. Dark hair. Dark eyes." Na'sheemanah got a dreamy look on her face.

"And fangs. Don't forget the fangs." Qecpfcne reminded her.

"He's got a slight overbite!" Na'sheemanah retorted.

Dark hair. Dark eyes. Fangs? Adi added all the details together. They gave a perfectly accurate profile of the man who had threatened Yaddle.

"I think I know who you're talking about." Adi said.

"You do?" Na'sheemanah grinned, "Isn't he just to die for?"

"Actually, I think he said he was a cannibal." Adi said.

Qecpfcne burst into hysterics, "Boy you sure can pick them, Na'sheemanah! First that pansy death stick salesman and now a cannibal!"

Na'sheemanah folded her arms, "I don't care. He's still hot. That's all that matters."

"I really should be getting back to my seat." Adi said, not wanting this discussion to go any further.

The three women exited the restroom. It was then that they ran smack into Mr. DarkHairDarkEyesAndFangs! Na'sheemanah squealed and started jumping up and down.

"Hi." She said.

"Hello." He replied.

"I'm Na'sheemanah Pye." Na'sheemanah introduced herself.

"Cliegg Lars." The man replied, "Pleased to meet you."

Yes, it is the same Cliegg Lars from Episode II. You see Shmi Skywalker didn't really get kidnapped by Tuskan Raiders. Cliegg tried to eat her! The sandpeople saved her! But Cliegg had wounded her so badly that she died anyway. And then Cliegg got so mad that he chewed his own leg off!

"Oh the pleasure is all mine." Na'sheemanah smiled.

Qecpfcne and Adi rolled their eyes.

Cliegg started checking Na'sheemanah out, "You're adorable. I could just eat you up." Then under his breath he added, "Literally."

"Thank you." Na'sheemanah blushed.

"This has all been very stimulating, but we need to get back to our seats." Qecpfcne grabbed Na'sheemanah by the arm and started dragging her away.

"Bye! I'll be cheering for you!" Na'sheemanah called.

Once the two Twi'leks were gone, Cliegg glared at Adi.

"What are you looking at my little caramel delight?" He demanded.

"Oh nothing." Adi stammered, having never been referred to as a caramel anything in her entire life.

She scurried off to her seat.

"It's about time you got back!" Mace shouted, "Yaddle is up."

"Against that guy who threatened to eat her if she beat him!" Plo added.

"Oh dear." Adi fretted.

Yaddle stood in the middle of the arena. The spotlight shined down on her dramatically. Standing beside her was Cliegg. He pulled a salt shaker out of his robe and started sprinkling salt on Yaddle.

"What are you doing?" Yaddle wanted to know.

"Oh nothing." Cliegg said, licking his lips.

Adi shifted in her seat.

"Something wrong, Adi?" Depa asked.

"He's going to eat her." Adi told her.

The Jedi all laughed.

"It's true! I ran into him and he called me a caramel delight!" Adi defended herself.

The Jedi were in hysterics.

"Guys!" Adi yelled, "If Yaddle beats him, he will eat her! We have to do whatever we can to keep her from winning!"

Yoda stared at Adi, "Serious about this, aren't you?"

"Yes!" Adi nodded.

Yoda thoughtfully rubbed his chin. He himself could sense something strange about Cliegg. He heard the whistle go off, meaning the show down was starting.

"Hurry. Prevent Yaddle from winning we must." Yoda said.

And with that, the Jedi masters all started walking down towards the stage. Obi-Wan stayed behind and played his Gameboy.

Suddenly Obi-Wan sensed something. A feeling of impending doom. He shrugged and kept playing Tetris.

Now standing right beside the stage, the Jedi masters tried to decide what they should do.

"I've got it!" Oppo shouted. He pulled a banana out of his robe, unpeeled it, and then threw the peel up onto the stage.

Yaddle easy dodged the peel and hit the ping pong ball back over the table to her opponent.

"Well I've done all I can do." Oppo looked defeated and sat down on the floor.


Oh but the Jedi have to stop Yaddle from winning! Can they stop her? Or will Cliegg eat her? Why did Obi-Wan get a feeling of impending doom? Is Mace's broken sink still flooding this hotel? All of this and more will be revealed in Part 12 Part 3!
