STAR WARS CHICKS EPISODE I:
BROWNIE WARS
By Carinae (aka Sammi)
* * *
Well, the time has come! Now you get to see why I was (and still am) gathering information.
Please feel free to send me the info still, even though I have started writing. And I apologize if you're not in this first part, but just tell me, and I'll work you in later on, because this is still way in progress. :) It's easier for me to give a bigger part to the people I know the best.
Please let me know if this totally sucks, and I should stop. :) Special thanks to Suzi and Christina for being brilliant.
_______________________________________________________________________
****PROLOGUE****
It was a
normal day at the Sith Club house... Or at least as normal as one could expect.
Darth Suzi
was crashed on the couch after returning from a hard day's work at Taco Han's.
After preparing Nerf Burritos, and Bantha Cheese Chalupas all day for happy
little Lightsiders, she was in a foul mood. She had gone as far as banning
Taco's from the club house, which didn't make her master too happy.
Kris, the
Almighty Sith Princess, Master to Sith Goddess Ka'ana Sul, was sitting in the
floor next to the Great Sith Mistress Carinae, newly promoted Master to Darth
Suzi, pictures scattered all around them. The pictures were of very attractive
men, all of which were dressed in Kilts.
"No, no. Look." Kris urged Carinae, waving a picture of David Duchovny in front
of her nose.
"I just don't get it!" Carinae told her again. "It looks like a *skirt*!"
Kris's jaw hit the floor. "WHAT did you just say?"
"Um... I, uh, I said... I have to go answer the door!"
[*knock, knock, knock*]
Carinae ran over to the door, feeling relieved, and opened it. The rest of the
Sith gathered around behind her, visions of Pizza delivery boys danced in their
heads.
But it was no Pizza delivery boy that stood at the entrance of their beloved
Club house. Dressed in traditional Jedi Robes, it was none other than Christina.
Jedi Princess Mrs. Christina Skywalker!
The Sith gasped in surprise. One of the things that was best about their
Clubhouse was the fact that it could not be located, nor infiltrated by pesky
Lightsiders, and their little Ewok friends.
Tam, also known as Mommy Vader, pushed her way through the throng of her
Sithsters. She was one of many there that used to be a Lightsider, so she was
far more equipped to deal with them than Kris or Suzi.
"Can we help you?" She asked Christina politely.
"May I come in?" Christina returned, matching Tam's tone.
Tam looked back at the rest of the Sith for their approval. They were visibly
reluctant at first, but Tam decided that a Lightsider wouldn't seek out the
Darksider's Clubhouse for no reason at all.
They led Christina into the clubhouse, but were careful not to get to
comfortable. They all kept their hands close to their lightsabers.
Some of the Darksiders sniggered, because as always, Christina walked in with
her Squiggle at her side. It was black, and no longer than 15 centimeters, and
it was *always* there.
There had been much speculation about this mysterious Squiggle. It seemed to
hold some kind of power, but no one really knew. Some just said it was a glitch
in the Matrix, others feared it...
"Is
everyone here?" Christina asked, ignoring the muted laughter.
"Where's my Apprentice?" Kris said, scanning the room.
"Mary is out in the Zoo." Becca, Sith Amazon Shamaness Queen, replied. "Seems as though all of the men in section B were planning to escape from their cages. Last I heard there was some major *ZAPPING* going on."
"Ah," Kris
smiled, satisfied. "As there should be."
"Shall we start without her, or shall I go fetch her?" Becca asked.
"Run to the
Zoo and see if she's finished. Thank you." Kris told her.
Becca exited the room, leaving Christina and the rest of the Sith sizing each
other up.
Christina was only a tad nervous about being in a room full of Sith, because she
knew for a fact that most of them were not hostile. But as long as her Squiggle
was beside her, everything would be fine.
Becca returned a few minutes later, followed by Sith Goddess Ka'ana Sul,(though most still called her Mary), who was looking quite distraught and disheveled. "He... almost... got away!" Mary informed them, out of breath. "But... a man... is... no... match... for a .... Sith... goddess... He... must... repent..." She collapsed onto the couch, wiping sweat off of her forehead. "What's she doing here?!" Mary demanded, realizing there was a Lightsider standing before her.
"She
apparently has something important to tell us, or at least she had better." Suzi
explained, glaring at Christina.
Christina
cleared her throat. "I need your help." she told them.
All of the
Sith stared at her.
"Okay, not just me, we all need your help." She clarified.
Kris was
the first to break the silence with evil laughter.
Christina
turned red with anger, little puffs of steam coming from her ears, but then
quickly started her Jedi calming techniques. "What is so funny?!?!"
"You-- The
Lightsiders --Are asking for *our* help?" Kris choked out, between cackles.
"Well, yes,
it really seems quite reasonable, considering the nature of the situation!"
Christina shot back. "And I think it would be in the best interest of the
Lightsider *and* the Darkisiders if you helped."
The Sith
all looked at each other, and shrugged.
"Well, if
it's really that important. Speak, Lightsider." Carinae told her, giving in.
"Okay." Christina took a deep breath. She had never liked speaking to large
groups of people. "Today, while I was meditating in my room, I had a vision. I
was Card Captor Sakura, and I was chasing after a Clow card--"
The Sith
began to giggle.
"Hey! Don't
laugh!" She scolded. "So anyway, I was chasing the Clow card, but it wasn't a
Clow Card at all! It was a Data card, and on it was the recipe for Yoda's
Special Brownies..."
The
confused Sith all looked at Christina skeptically.
She went
on, "I knew that there was something wrong, so I checked the cupboard, when I
came out of meditation, and the recipe for Yoda's Special Brownies was gone!!!
And it was replaced by this--" She pulled a data pad out of her robes, and
handed it to Tam.
Tam
examined it, and passed it to the rest of the girls. It read:
[*Lightsider Twits, Missing something important, are we? Soon you will see major
changes in high places, all thanks to your little green elf and his brownies.
Should the order of the galaxy fall, you will have no one to blame but
yourselves.*]
"So?" Kris
said.
"Consider
the damage that could be done if Yoda's Special Brownies were let out to the
masses!" Christina exclaimed. "Someone could take over the Galaxy like this!!"
"Hahahaha!!!"
came Suzi's reply. "Lightsider Twits? Hahaha!!"
"Yeah,
well, without the recipe, you'll never get another one of those brownies again!"
Christina turned her attention to Suzi.
Suzi looked
like she was about to cry. She had been battling a love for Yoda's Special
Brownies for a few months now, and was ever most distressed at the thought of
never having that "Floating" feeling again.
By the look
on her face, the rest of the Sith could tell that Christina had won Suzi over.
"Fine,
we'll help you. But only because we don't want those brownies on the market, so
that Suzi can have them whenever she wants." Kris sighed.
****CHAPTER
1****
After a
fairly lengthy ride in a crammed Land Speeder, the Dark Siders, and Christina
arrived at the Lightsider's club house to discuss what they were going
to do to
get the Brownie recipe, and try to figure out who had stolen it.
The faces
of the Lightsider's matched or topped to looks of shock the Sith had had when
Christina showed up at their door.
The DSers
filed in, all cringing at the happy vibes the place was putting off.
"Christina!" Jedi Sar'ah, the Ford Prefect Obsessed One, scolded. "You called
the *Darksiders*?!"
"I had to!"
Christina defended herself.
It was always interesting for the Lightsider's to see their former friends that had turned. They all sighed sadly and shook their heads as Carinae, Tam, and Mary, among many, came into the room. Once, they had been of the lightside...
Kris
motioned for the others to remain silent, and stood in the front, facing the
Lightsiders.
"Is there a
problem, Jedi Sar'ah?" Kris asked quietly.
Sar'ah
seemed to be staring through Kris, in some kind of trance.
"Hey!"
Shouted Jedi Kirin from the kitchen, "There will be no Sith mind whammies in the
clubhouse!"
Jedi Tera,
and Jerusha stepped in between Sar'ah and Kris protectively.
Kris
laughed, and released her mental grasp on Sar'ah.
"I didn't
invite you here to bully." Christina snapped at the DSers. "Now, let's go up to
the 28th floor, where we hold meetings, and decide what we're going to do."
The girls
took the elevator up, and all took seats around a long table, in the Jedi
Meeting room.
Anakin,
Tam's baby son, sat in a playpen, and was just now developing the usage of Force
Lightening. He was very cranky for it, too, because he kept *ZAP*ing himself in
the foot. All the LSers knew he was going to be a powerful enemy when he grew
up.
Jedi
Marigold passed out Starbucks coffee to all of the Sith and Jedi, then took her
seat as well.
"So. Do we
have any clues, or anything?" Carinae asked, tapping her fingernails on the hard
wood table.
"Just the
message--" Marigold was interrupted by the beeping of the HoloNet.
She pressed the button, and a small version of a news reporter popped up on the middle of the table.
"Sources
say that after excepting, and consuming, a plate of brownies from a mysterious
'Political groupie', Senator Borsk Fey'lya, while in a meeting, burst into
uncontrollable giggles, and proceeded to slap whomever would walk by on the
bum--"
Marigold
quickly shut off the HoloNet, and the DSers flew into hysterical laughter. Some
of the LSers couldn't help but join in (including Christina, who would only say
"Hehehehe", but not *really * laugh), because the truth was, no one could stand
Fey'lya.
"Okay,
enough!" Jedi Sianna had to shout above the laughter. "Let's try to get back to
business, shall we?"
"She's
right." Tam said, trying to stop laughing, and wiping tears from her eyes.
"Okay, now
our first step should be finding out who's doing this, and for that, we're
probably going to need some information experts... Anyone have any suggestions?"
Christina asked.
"Yes, I
do." Said Elspeth Dodge.
"Yes, El?"
"Gaeriel.
I'm sure she could find out something for us. She's been a great help to us in
the past." Elspeth suggested.
The rest of
the LSers voiced their agreements, and it was decided.
Elspeth,
Christina, Mary, and Kris would go scouring nearby Cantina's for Gaeriel.
"What about
weapons?" Becca asked.
"We have
our Lightsabers." Jedi Tera reminded her.
"Nooooo!"
Suzi piped in. "We need big weapons to blow crap up with!"
"Good
point, Apprentice. If this person or persons is capable of...well... whatever
this person or persons is trying to do, then think of what kind of man
power, or
woman power for that matter, that this person or persons may have. So even
though I hate to admit that this person or persons may have the resources to
kick our bums, I am just trying to think realistically in the fact that..."
Carinae rambled. She was known to do that.
The chicks
looked at her, annoyed, shutting her up quickly.
"I was just
trying to say, she has a good point! Sheesh!" Carinae rolled her eyes, and sank
lower into her seat.
"I say we
look for Demosthenes Zarathustra." Said Mary.
The room
fell silent.
"She's hard
to find, very hard. But if she is who we think she is, then it's probably a good
idea." Reasoned Jerusha.
The story
of Demosthenes was something of a legend. She was very elusive, and everyone
suspected she had once been known as the weapon's specialist, The Other Mara,
code name: TOM. She would supply weapons of Mass destruction to the Sith and
Jedi both, but for a pretty credit.
"Well, it's
worth a shot," Christina decided. "Carinae, Suzi, Jedi Knight Teia Solo, and
Marigold go to all the space ports and Cantinas to look for her. Sa'rah, Tera,
Becca, and Jerusha, you girls check all of the more sophisticated Cafe's and
such. The rest of you stay here. If things go as bad as I'm expecting, we'll
probably need some backup."
Becca shot
Kris a look that said *Holy gods, they're putting me on a team with three
Lightsiders, and zero Darksiders?!?! What am I supposed to do?!?!*
Kris leaned
over to Carinae, and whispered, "You think you could send your Wolverine clone
along with Becca, just to ensure that nothing happens to out beloved Sith
Amazon?"
"Sure."
replied Carinae, as she pulled out a comm, and contacted her lovely Wolvie
clone.
"Well,
girls, I'm glad you have all decided to put your differences aside, for the
safety and health of all the galaxy." Christina beamed. Her beaming was met with
several uncomfortable, and disrespectful choking noises from both the DSer and
Lser.
Christina rolled her eyes and sighed. "Let's get to work."
****Chapter
2****
The smell of brownies could not be mistaken, but even more recognizable was the
smell of Yoda's Special Brownies. And had any of the DarkSiders or LightSiders
been in this gargantuan castle, they would have been able to locate right away
who has stolen the recipe.
Lucky for the culprit, the dark castle was devoid of both LSers and DSers, and this person was free to go about with it's evil bidding.
"Yes, yes,"
said this person, as it pulled another batch of the brownies from the oven.
"Soon my plan will be in full swing! These brownies will be the down fall of the
galaxy, and it will be mine! All mine! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
****
"Hmmmm...
Mmmmmhmmmm...." Gaeriel seemed to be considering things.
Elspeth,
Christina, Mary, and Kris had changed from their robes to something more
inconspicuous. In shoddy Cantinas such as this one, Jedi made nervous patrons
with itchy trigger fingers, more nervous, and made their fingers itch worse.
"It's going
to cost you." Gaeriel said, finally, looking up at the four Jedi. "Why don't you
chicks take a seat, and will talk about this over a bottle of Corellian Whiskey,
and a rich discussion of the Vorkosigan Saga."
"Listen, we
don't have time for this," Elspeth explained, plopping down in the booth,
followed by the rest of the chicks. "You've heard about Senator Fey'lya, haven't
you?"
"Ohh...
Yes, yes, I have." Gaeriel folded her hands on the table top. "He's addicted
now. Ordered two shipments of those blasted brownies today. Let me tell you, the
smugglers are frantic! It's the next big thing! Forget about Spice, everyone
wants those Brownies... Well, everyone in the high places, it seems."
"Can you
tell us what System the shipments are coming from?" Christina asked, excitedly.
"Maybe..."
Gaeriel replied with a small smile.
"How much?"
Mary asked, glaring.
"Ten
Thousand credits now, and if the leads pan out, I want five-thousand extra."
"What?! You
don't even know if it's a reliable lead! And you want us to pay ten-thousand!?"
Kris raved,
jumping up from her seat. "You're out of your mind! Crazy! Stupid! Ya know, you
should be in a lot of pain right now!"
Kris sat
back down, and made small lightening bolts dance from finger tip, to finger tip,
as if she was trying to intimidate Gaeriel.
"I do not
negotiate." Gaeriel said firmly.
"Master,
what choice do we have?" Mary whispered to Kris.
Kris hesitated, but knew her Apprentice was right. "Fine. Pay her, Christina."
Christina
pulled out a bag full of credits, and slid it across the table to Gaeriel.
"Thank you,
Jedi Princess Mrs. Christina Skywalker." Gaeriel grinned.
"Why do you call her that?" Elspeth asked, annoyed.
"Because,
when she was going through that mid-life crisis, and wanted to change her name,
I convinced her to keep it. I figure someone needs to put it to good use."
Gaeriel explained. "Okay, anyway, the name of the system is Le'feu'et'explosifs.
But it really won't do you any good to try and get there, because..." She
trailed off.
"Because
why?" Kris asked impatiently.
"Well,
because it's heavily guarded, and because.... It's scary." Gaeriel admitted.
"Haha!
Scary? Whatever is so sinister about it, I'm sure it's no match for me and my
Sithsters!" Said Mary, smugly.
"Oh, I hope
Teia and Marigold are having more luck than we are." Christina grumbled under
her breath.
The chicks
got up to leave.
"Hey! Don't
forget to read the Vorkosigan Saga!!!" Gaeriel shouted after them. "And call me
if you need anymore help!!"
****
Suzi, Teia,
Carinae, and Marigold were having little luck. After being kicked out of three
Catinas already, because Suzi had insisted on gathering up hunky men, and
dancing on tables, none of them were feeling too optimistic. They were also
short on credits, because Suzi had spotted a taco, and had used her TK to smash
it into the cook's face.
In this
particular Cantina, it was not Tacos that would warrant an outburst from
Suzi. It
was Tiger Gladys, sitting in a large booth, surrounded by her twenty-seven,
kilted, body guards.
Tiger,
otherwise called Tig, was so famous for her sensitive information that she
*needed* twenty-seven body guards, kilts optional.
The thing
that caught Suzi's eye was the twenty-seventh man, the only one that was dressed
in Jedi Robes. The most *special*, and favorite body-guard of Tig... Corran
Horn.
Suzi stared
in the direction of Tig's booth, little drops of drool falling from the left
corner of her mouth.
Carinae
noticed the look on her Apprentice's face right away, and followed her stare,
spotting Horn quickly.
Before
Carinae could open her mouth, Suzi was walking briskly over to the booth. Her
companions quickly followed, fearing the worst.
As Suzi and the others approached, twenty-six kilted bodyguard stood, waiting to take a blaster bolt for Tig, if need be. Corran remained seated, with his arm wrapped around Tig's shoulders.
"Darth Suzi."
Tig acknowledged happily.
"Tiger
Gladys." Suzi returned, not so happily. "Corran."
"Darth Suzi,
nice to see you again." Corran greeted her all to formally.
Darth Suzi
and Corran had a past. They had been high school sweet hearts, but on
graduation
day, Suzi had met Darth Maul, and left Corran in the dust.
Corran,
heart broken, met Tig, and had been protecting her since.
Suzi was
sure that one day she was going to steal Corran back, but after a nasty break up
with Darth Maul, she wanted him too. She just couldn't decide.
Suzi's
companions thought back to the time when Kris and Suzi had a knock down, drag
out fight over Darth Maul, and certainly didn't want that happening right here,
over Corran, with Tig. They couldn't afford to pay for the damage.
When Corran
leaned over whispered something in Tig's ear that made her giggle wildly, and
Suzi's ears began to turn red, Teia intervened.
"Oh gods,
Suzi!" Teia exclaimed. "Do I smell *tacos*??"
Suzi
whipped around, nose in the air. "Where?! I'll blow them up! All of them!" And
she took off in the opposite direction, momentarily forgetting about stealing
Corran. Her hate for Tacos grew every day.
Marigold,
Teia, and Carinae dropped into the booth across from Tig.
"Think you
could do us a small favor?" Carinae asked Tig.
"Sure,
what'll it be?" Tig asked.
"Well,
first of all, could you get rid of that blasted Twinkie weiner sandwich?? It's
making me sick to my stomach." Marigold shuddered.
Tig handed
her half eaten sandwich to Kilted Body Guard #7, and he quickly disposed of it.
"Okay, now
what can I do for you, Sith Mistress?" Tig turned her attention back to Carinae.
"We're
looking for Demos." She explained.
Tig raised
an eyebrow at the girls. "Well, this doesn't sound too good at all."
"It's not,"
Teia confirmed. "Someone stole the recipe to Yoda's Special Brownies, and it's
obvious that he or she has plans. Bad plans."
Tig
laughed. "I'm a handler of *very sensitive* information. I *know* these plans,
my dears!"
"Tell,
tell!" Carinae urged.
"Only if
you promise to buy all twenty-seven of my hunks brand new kilts!"
"Fine,
done!" Carinae agreed hastily.
"Okay. The
plan is to get all of the Galactic Senate addicted to Yoda's Special Brownies,
which will make them so high and stupid that this person will be able to
overthrow the entire galaxy!" Tig exclaimed dramatically.
"Smeg!" Carinae cursed.
"Yeah," Agreed Tig, "Sounds like a really contrived plot for an online fanfiction, doesn't it?
Once again,
I just want to say thank you to everyone who has cheered me on. :) I'm having a
blast writing this stuff.
Things I've
learned: Spell checkers do not accept such important words as "Hunk", "hehe", or
"haha", "Lightsaber" and "Mandalorian".
---------
****CHAPTER 3****
"Here she comes," Jerusha spoke into her comm, as she watched Demos cross the
busy streets of Coruscant.
Tera was
seated in the lush cafe that Demos was heading toward, waiting.
The chicks
had asked around, and found out that Demos often came here for dinner, so
Jerusha, Sar'ah, and Becca had all waited on appointed street corners as look
outs, while Tera got the easy job.
The girls
on the streets all met back up in front of the cafe, along with Carinae's
Wolverine clone, whom of which kept calling everyone "bub".
They made
there way through the crowds of people, and sat down at the table with Tera.
"What's the
plan?" Sar'ah asked.
"Well,"
said Jerusha, "We wait until she gets out of the little girls room and we go
over there and talk to her."
Becca
stifled a laugh. "We *talk* to her? What a brilliant plan!"
"Yeah, Bub!"
Wolverine added.
"I have a
better idea." Becca said, rising from her seat.
"Becca,
whatever you're thinking, forget about it. We don't need a Darksider messing
things up." Tera snapped.
"Yeah, Bub!"
Wolverine grunted.
"Shaddup!"
Becca snapped, popping Wolvie on the back of the head. "You're supposed to be on
my side, ya big, dumb ox!"
"What's an
ox?" Jerusha, Sar'ah, and Tera all asked at the same time.
Becca
rolled her eyes. "Nevermind."
And with
that, she took off in the direction of the women's 'fresher.
She entered
to see Demos standing at the mirror, applying lip gloss.
"Demosthenes Zarathustra?"
"Who's
asking?" Demos replied quietly, not even looking over at Becca.
"I'm Becca,
Sith Amazon Shamaness Queen...." Becca trailed off, as Demos turned to look at
her. "And we need your help..."
"*We*? We
as in...?" Demos leaned cooly against the sink counter.
"The
Darksiders, and the Lightsiders." Becca told her.
Demos
laughed so hard she was doubled over. "LSer, and DSers?? Together?? Hahaha!!!
Are you chicks mellowing in your old age?! hahaha!!! I remember when I used to
supply weapons for those huge battles in the Warty/Batty room! I made a
killing-" She stopped, and clapped her hand over her mouth.
Becca's jaw
dropped. "So you *are* TOM??"
"I...uh...no, um..." Demos stammered.
With new
determination, Becca waved her hand, and said in a low voice, "I will help
you..."
Demos
repeated her words, her eyes glazing over ever so slightly.
Demos
blinked. "Wait! Don't try that poodoo on me! C'mere you little sith-"
She grabbed
Becca, and put her into a head lock, and began giving her noogies mercilessly.
"Hey, let
go!" Becca squealed, slamming Demos against the wall.
But it was
no use. Demos grabbed her blaster, and struck Becca over the head with the butt
of it. She tossed Becca over her shoulder, and ran out of the door, through the
cafe.
Wolverine
was the first to spot the fleeing Demos. "Hey Bub! Come back here!" He cried.
The chicks
and Wolvie raced after Demos, who jumped in her Land Speeder, and sped off.
Jerusha
jumped into the drivers seat of their own speeder, and hauled tail. It didn't
take her long to catch up to Demos' speeder, who was weaving recklessly through
the busy streets.
"Give up
now, you'll never win!" Jerusha shouted at the speeder in front of her, as she
bumped into its rear end.
"You can't
touch this, you meddling Jedi!" Demos shouted back, and hit the breaks.
The LSer's
speeder crashed hard into the back of Demos'. They all jerked forward, but Tera
used her TK to keep them all in place.
"Spite!"
Sar'ah exclaimed, choking from their smoking engine.
Slowly, the
LSer's speeder died, and hit the ground with a big *THUD*.
"Hahaha!"
they could her Demos shouting. "I told you not to mess with ME!" She had turned
around in her seat, and was waving a fist at them.
When she
turned back around, it was too late. Right in front of her, coming up fast, was
the Lightsider's Clubhouse.
Demos tried
to put on the breaks, but there just wasn't enough time...
****CHAPTER
4****
"It had to
be the monkeys." Darth Suzi tried to convince the other girls. "There's no way
around this. Who else would want to take over the galactic senate?! No one,
*besides* the little monkeys, with their sharp knives."
"There is
no monkey." Said Ari importantly, from beside her.
Carinae,
Christina, Ari, Jerusha, Sache, Kris, Suzi, Tam, Kirin, Sar'ah, Mary, Teia,
Marigold, Sianna, Tera, and Elspeth were all gathered elbow to elbow in front of
what used to be the wall to the third floor of the Lightsider's club house. The
rest of the girls lurked in the shadows, and only watched what these few were
doing.
"No, no."
Mary shook her head. "It's a Government Conspiracy. It's time to put in a call
to Maulder and Sculleia."
"Not so
fast." Tam held up a hand, and walked over the the flaming pile of twisted metal
that used to be Demosthenes' Speeder. "What is this?"
Tam reached
into the back seat, and pulled out a small, brown, square. No, not a square. A
brownie!
After
getting a whif, Suzi leapt forward, and Sache and Kirin caught her in mid-air.
"It's one
of Yoda's Special Brownies, all right!" Confirmed Sache, and she tried the keep
a grip on Suzi.
"So what do
you think Tam? Was Demos under the influence of the Brownies when she captured
Becca?" Asked Sianna, who was trying to stay away from the flames, for fear it
would melt her eyeliner.
Tam looked
thoughtful. "Possible. But not what I had in mind. She's obviously working for
the person or persons that stole the recipe."
"Of
course!" Christina agreed.
"Yeah, bub!"
Wolverine added.
"Let's get
up to the medical floor, and see if she and Becca are awake." Kris suggested.
****
"I swear! I
didn't steal that couch! No! Let go of me!" Becca groaned in her sleep.
Kirin, Teia,
Christina, Sianna, and Sar'ah were all standing around her bed, giggling wildly
at the sleeping sith.
"Should we
wake her up?" Teia asked quietly.
"Nah!" The
other four Lightsiders shook their heads.
****
Kris waved
the Brownie slowly, close to Demos' face, until her eyelids fluttered open.
"Welcome
back, Demos."
"How long
was I away?" She asked sleepily.
"Not long,
lucky for us. Look what we found in your speeder." Kris waved the brownie in her
face once again.
"Oh, that
old thing?" Demos smiled sheepishly. "That's um... That's just... Honestly, I
have no idea how that got there."
****
"I love you
too, Maul, but truly, my heart belongs to Obi-Wan." Becca was still talking in
her sleep.
The Jedi
surrounding her bed all looked at each other, wide eyed, as to say *did you just
hear what I think I just heard?*, then all burst into uncontrollable laughter.
"Shhhh!!"
Sa'rah urged. "I have an idea, don't wake her up!"
****
"Have you
ever been interrogated by a Sith?" Kris asked Demos.
"No, I
can't say that I have." Replied Demos, visibly unintimidated, and not breaking
eye contact with Kris.
"Don't hurt
her, Kris." Ari warned.
Kris and
Demos appeared to be having a stare down. The whole room fell silent, waiting
for the two to jump each other at any minute.
"I could
really use some Nerf Milk with this," Suzi broke the silence.
Everyone
turned at once to see her swallowing down the last few crumbs of the Special
Brownie, that had only seconds ago, been in Kris's hand.
"The
beauties of TK." Suzi smiled, and quickly left the room before anyone could
threaten to restrain her.
"Anyway!"
Kris cleared her throat, and turned her attention back to Demos. "Who are you
working for?
"I don't
give away free information, Sith!" Demos spat. "I'm just like everyone else in
this Galaxy. I work for whoever pays me the most."
Kris
sighed, and turned to Mary. "Go get Christina, Apprentice."
****
Mary eased
quietly through the door to Becca's temporary quarters.
"No, Sianna,
it has to be *warm* water!" came a low whisper. "Yeah, now just put her hand in
there-"
"Hey!"
Shouted Mary, drawing out her Lightsaber, and spotting Christina, Sar'ah, Sianna,
and Kirina kneeled down beside Becca's bed. "Get out of here, you pesky
Lightsiders! Shoo! Out with you!" Mary scolded, waving her Lightsaber about.
The LSers
took off out of the room, still giggling.
"Hey, wait
Squiggle Girl!" Mary called.
Christine paused, and turned around, fuming. Her squiggle had turned a bright shade of pink.
"Kris wants
to see you. Hope you have your checkbook handy." Mary grinned.
****
Mary helped
Becca into Demos' quarters. She was doing well, but had a pretty bad bump on her
head.
By the
satisfied look on Carinae's and Kris's faces, Mary could see that negotiations
were coming to a close, and had probably gone well.
"So you
don't know her name, but what does she look like?" Carinae asked, ready to jot
down the description.
Demos
smiled slightly, and spoke the two words that brought fear and dread into the
hearts of all that were standing in the room. "Mandalorian armor."
Carinae
gaped. "And what planet did you say that Gaeriel said, Kris?"
"The
Le'feu'et'explosifs system. Ring any bells?"
"French!"
Mary exclaimed.
"What?"
"That's
french, for 'Fire and Explosives'!! It's just all run together." Mary explained.
And
suddenly it hit them all at once. The person, or persons, trying to
overthrow
the Galactic Senate was none other than....
Okay, I
hope this works. My e-mail is being quite spazzy. It says 184
Messages-4294967295 New. LMAO!
Anyway, I,
as always, would like to apologize for inaccuracies in character, not giving you
enough "screen" time, and/or, not putting you in the story at all, and spelling
errors. I would also like to apologize to Lor in advance by saying, I am sorry
that you are probably going to get your butt kicked in the end of this. ;)
Things to
remember before reading: I am a scatter brain. I have Napster running, so I
cannot run this through a spell checker. Tig and Gaeriel *still* have the best
lines. This is just a big spoof of us, so if you appear stupid, don't complain,
you are supposed to appear stupid.
Thank you's:
First of all, I'd like to thank the Academy... :)

****CHAPTER
5****
Tam put in
a special call to List Mommy, asking for the usage of the Corellian freighter,
the 'U.S.S. SWC'.
Although no
one really knew what the "U.S.S." stood for, it just sounded really cool, and it
was fun seeing if anyone would forget an "s" or two.
List Mommy
approved, and while Tam, Carinae, Suzi and Christina were up in the cockpit
trying to figure the thing out, Kris stayed in the back to brief the rest of the
chicks on what they needed to do.
Gaeriel,
Tiger Gladys, and Tig's Twenty-Seven Kilted bodyguards arrived baring
Frappucinos, Mynock and Mushroom pizzas, and blue prints.
The blue
prints were of Le'feu'et'explosifs' sewers, which held the power generators. A
team would have to go down into the sewers, set up some thermal detonators,
and...
"But for
what?" Kazzi interrupted.
"Because,"
Gaeriel began, "we have to take out the Power generators, so the security to the
palace will be down, giving another team the chance to get inside, take back the
recipe, therefore thwarting the evil plan to take over the galaxy!"
"And plus,
we need that really cool, obligatory, explosion!" Tig added from her side.
Gaeriel
shrugged, "Hey, you can't argue with that."
"But what
about capturing and jailing this evil villainous?" Tera asked, taking a swig of
her Carmel Frap. "You seemed to have forgotten that part..."
"Oh, no I
did not." Gaeriel assured her, shutting off the holo blue prints. "I'm just not
crazy enough to try and capture a Pyro chick, in Madalorian Armor, that just so
happens to be the Padawan to Boba Fett, and for all we know, as much as she
hangs out with them, could also be a *vampire*! If you want to try, by all
means, try, but I will have nothing to do with it!"
The chicks
all looked at each other, all of them dreading this a little more now.
"Oh, and
ah, one more thing. There's Rancors in the sewers. Gotta go!" Gaerial turned on
her heel, and ran towards the exit.
"Wait!"
Ordered Mary. "*What* did you just say?"
Gaeriel
turned back around, smiling nervously. "Rancors... In the sewers... They're
guarding the generators."
"Oh gods."
Mary groaned, her face in her hands.
****
"There's an
unidentified ship in orbit, Apprentice." Boba Fett told his Padawan.
"I was
expecting this." Lor-Alla said, stirring up another batch of Brownies. "I'll
take care of it, if you don't mind."
"Of course,
Apprentice. I'll go back to bed and get some more beauty sleep... er.... Forget
I ever said that." Boba left.
Lor-Alla
walked over to the kitchen cabinent, and pulled out a box of matches. She sat
down at the table, and began striking them absently. It was time to make the
next move, she decided.
"Raziel,"
She called. "Ready yourself for dinner. Company is coming."
****
Sianna,
Mary, Teia, and Marigold stood on the empty streets of Le'feu'et'explosifs'.
They were all staring at the open man hole...
"You go
first." Sianna urged Mary.
"Ha! No
way, Lightsider scum!" Mary shot back.
The
Lightsiders glared at the lone Sith.
"Fine,
fine." She mumbled under her breath and slid into the man hole.
The Lightsiders followed, and before they new it, they were all up to their
knees in Sewage. Mary lit a Glow Rod and truged forward, while the LSers behind
her switched on their lightsabers for safety.
"How far
down do we have to go?" Teia asked Mary.
"Not too
much longer," Mary whispered. "And try to keep quiet, we don't want to wake
the-"
"GGGGGRRRRRRRR!!!!"
"Rancor!"
Mary choked.
They could feel it's hot breath, and see it's beady little eyes glaring at them.
"GGGGGRRRRRRR!!!!"
It was so
loud, its booming growl nearly knocked the chicks off of their feet.
"Don't
move." Sianna said, bravely.
The girls
did as she ordered, and Sianna cleared her throat began to sing, "Night-time
sharpens, heightens each sensation . . .Darkness stirs and wakes imagination . .
."
Teia shot
Mary a paniced look. "What in the worlds is she doing?!"
"Silently
the senses abandon their defenses . . ." Sianna was still singing.
"I.. uh, I
don't know. She does have a lovely voice, no?" Said Mary, as she begin to hum
along.
["Slowly,
gently night unfurls its splendour . . . Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and
tender . . ."]
"Hm, yes,
she does." Teia agreed, and hummed along too.
"Teia!"
Marigold snapped her finger in front of her friend's face.
"Teia,
Marigold, go set the thermal detonators! Mary, sing with me!" Sianna said
quickly between lines. And then continued, "Turn your face away from the garish
light of day, turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light - and listen to
the music of the night . . ."
The Rancor
had sat itself down on it's hind legs, and now cocked his head ever so slightly,
listening intently to the sound of Sianna's voice, which was now being joined by
Mary's.
Teia and
Marigold eased their way silently around the Rancor, and ran into the tunnel
that held a large generator. They could still hear Mary and Sianna singing...
"Close your
eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!" They were getting very enthusiastic.
*****
Teia and
Marigold worked there way through each tunnel, carefully placing the detonators
underneath the power generators.
Fifteen
minutes passed, and time was ticking away quickly, so they ran as fast as they
could back to the main tunnel to see Sianna, Mary, and Rancor exactly where they
had left them.
"I gave you
my music . . .made your song take wing . . .and now, how you've repaid me:
denied me and betrayed me . . ." Sianna sang dramatically. "He was bound to love
you when he heard you sing . . . Christine ... Christine ..."
The Rancor
was now sobbing, huge tear drops splashing into sewage. Teia and Marigold stared
at it, astonished. Mary and Sianna were too caught up in singing to notice that
they had returned.
"Let's get
out of here!" They shouted, grabbing the two singing LSers by the arms, and
dragging them toward the exit.
They were
just about to the man hole, when there was a huge blast, followed by a monstrous
fire ball.
There was no way they could make it out of the sewer on time. They dived into the water.
The sixth
chapter is a bit short, but I want to keep a steady flow going. I really want to
finish this, but at the moment I am finding it extremely difficult to smile,
much less write a humorous story.
If anyone
cares to know why I am in such distress, it's because today, on the finale lap
of the Daytona 500, my very favorite race car driver, Dale Earnhardt Sr., was
killed when he crashed into the wall at 185 miles per hour. I have had the
pleasure of attending two races that he was in, but unfortunately, I never got
to see him win. I just went through this not even a year ago, when 19 year old
racer Adam Petty died. It seems to always be my favorites. ::cries::

****CHAPTER
6****
The man
hole covers on the street shot into the air, fire chasing behind them.
"Okay, it's
done. Let's go!" Shouted Christina, whom of which was in full Commando-Jedi
robes, and her Squiggle had opted for Camo.
"Ooooooooh,
pretty..." said Darth Suzi, dazedly, staring at the roaring flames.
"Come on!"
Carinae shouted, grabbing her Apprentice by the arm, and running to catch up
with Christina, Kris, Tera, and Kirin.
Christina
used her green Lightsaber to cut the door to Lor-Alla's castle open. All of the
Chicks were surprised to see that the interior of the dark castle was empty.
****
"Poodoo!"
Marigold shouted, standing up.
"Exactly!"
Sianna replied, wiping sewage water out of her eyes.
Teia and
Mary also stood up, trying to wipe they sewage away, and they had no desire of
learning what it was that they were picking out of their hair.
"GGGGRRRRRRRRRR!!!"
"Okay, time
to go!" Marigold started to make a run for the exit.
"Wait!"
Sianna said, moving toward the Rancor that was lying on its side. "It's hurt."
"Well, that
means it can't eat us. Let's go." Mary snapped, taking Marigold's side.
"But... I
think it's kind of sweet." Sianna told them, as she waded to the injured
Rancor's side.
"Sweet?"
The others said in unison.
"Yeah, I
mean, you saw the way it was crying when Mary and I were doing 'The Phantom'.
He's a little intimidating at first, but he's really just a big softy."
Sianna
stroked the Rancor's face.
"Well, he
is kinda cute in a way..." Teia commented, making her way over to Sianna.
Mary sighed
and shook her head, then looked thoughtful.
"What is
it, Mary?" Marigold asked, as she watched Mary began to frantically check all of
her pockets, and inside of her boots.
"Littlewhiskers!"
"What about
her?"
"She's
gone! She was in my pocket, and now she's not!" Mary paused and looked down her
shirt. "My autographed eight-by-ten of David Duchovny in a kilt is missing too!!
What shall I do?"
Just then,
they heard the frantic cries of a horrified Rancor.
Mary and
Marigold both used the Force to enhance their vision, and could then see a
Hamster scurrying all over the Rancor. The Rancor appeared to be extremely
frightened
by Littlewhiskers.
"Hey!! Get
your Apprentice off of my Rancor!!!" Sianna demanded.
Marigold
and Mary shared a laugh, then Mary levitated Littlewhiskers off of the beast,
and back over to her pocket.
****
"To the
kitchen!" Kirin ordered.
The others
followed her.
"Do you
think that is where Lor will be?" Tera asked, walking along side Kirin.
"Maybe she
will, maybe she won't, but I just had the urge to whip up some
Double-dark-fudge-super-duper-creamy-cheesecake-brownies, with whipped cream and
Hershey's milk chocolate shavings on top." Kirin replied, eager to get to the
kitchen.
"Sounds
good!" Kris said, drooling behind them.
"Carinae,
where is your apprentice?" Christina asked.
"Oh, she is
checking out some of the other rooms. She promised to alert me right away if she
found anything." Carinae waved to her comm. "Nothing to worry about... Er...
yeah."
The chicks
reached the kitchen finally. It reeked of chocolate and
"Specialness",
and sitting at the counter, with an almost empty box of matches, was Lor-Alla.
"How absolutely wonderful of all of you to join me!" Said Lor, in her British
accent.
"Give us back the recipe, you crazy psycho!!" Carinae said, stepping forward.
"Wow!
You're really good with verbal intimidation!" Christina snapped
sarcastically.
"Crazy
Psycho, huh? Smegging right!" Lor laughed. "And I will *never* hand over the
recipe. This Galaxy will be *mine*!!!"
Kris and
Christina both drew their Lightsabers. So did Lor.
"It's go
time! I'm gonna kick some booty! I'm gonna lay the smack down!" Kris shouted
enthusiastically.
Lor
blinked. "Wwwwaaaiiittt." She said, shutting off her Lightsaber.
"Conveniently, I have this really cool Catwalk out back. So I was thinking, it
would probably be more exciting, and much more atmospheric if we fought on that,
instead of in the kitchen... What do you gals think?"
Kris and
Christina exchanged glances, then nodded their heads in agreement. The three
girls ran for the Catwalk.
****
Tam sat
straight up in her bunk. She had had a dream... No, not just a dream... A
vision. She jumped out of bed and ran to the cockpit of the U.S.S. SWC.
Kazzi,
Becca, and Supreme Overlady of Infinity and Beyond, aka, Smispe A. Kewas, sat in
the cockpit playing Sabaac, when Tam ran in.
"The girls
are in trouble!" She exclaimed breathlessly. "Smispe!? How did you get here?!"
"Oh, I was feeling left out, so I hopped on my ship, and came for a visit. I
sure didn't know the whole Galaxy is in danger!" Smispe explained.
"Well,
something is wrong down on the planet. Anakin and I will go see about it." Tam
turned to leave.
"Hey,
wait!" Kazzi got up from her seat and ran after Tam. "You and *Anakin*? Anakin
is just a baby, what can he do?"
"Anakin is
well on his way to being the most powerful Sith that this universe has ever
seen! He can do plenty!" Tam shot back, as she gathered Anakin up from his bed.
"Becca, take us down to the planet quickly!" Tam shouted over her com.
****CHAPTER
7****
Darth Suzi
was lost. It was times like these that earned her the nickname "Padawan Mihoshi".
She walked down dark hall after, after dark hall, but saw nothing... But a whole
lot of darkness.
She heard
rumors that Lor-Alla kept a bunch of Vampys in the castle, and hoped against
hope that she would run up on a room full of them.
But it
wasn't Vampys that Suzi ran into. No, not at all. It was Monkeys. Monkeys with
Tacos.
****
Lor, Kris,
and Christina were engaged in vigorous battle. Lor was a fierce opponent, the
two (C)(K)ris's soon discovered.
"You want
some of this?" Kris asked, as she cut low with her Lightsaber, intending on
taking Lor's feet off.
But Lor
jumped high in the air, and flipped over backwards, narrowly escaping Kris's
blade.
Christina
was behind Lor, ready to strike just as soon as she landed, but Lor was
prepared. She spun on the ball of her foot, jumped again, and landed a two
footed kick firmly in Christina's chest.
Christina flew backwards across the catwalk in much pain. Her Lightsaber rolled over the edge, but she quickly reached out with the Force and caught it.
"Hey! I'm
the only one who is allowed to treat a pesky Lightsider like that!" Kris shouted
in anger, then let out a Xena-like battle cry, and charged at Lor.
Lor calmly
and coolly stepped out of Kris's path, and stuck out her boot to trip her. It
worked quite well. Kris went tumbling right into Christina.
"Muahahahaha!!
You can't beat me!" Laugh Lor, as she began to walk away. "Not only am I trained
in the Force, but in the ways of the Almighty Fett!"
"Oh yeah?"
Kris snarled as she got to her feet. "Well, I've seen 'The Matrix' two-hundred
and seventeen times!"
And with
that, Kris began running, and leapt into the air.
Lor turned
around, but as soon as she did, she found herself unable to move. Kris, who was
hanging in front, and slightly above her was also frozen. She had a smug grin on
her face, and when time started back up, she let out a "Hi-yah!", and kicked Lor
in the face.
Kris landed
gracefully back on her feet, and bowed.
Christina
jumped up and ran to Kris's side, applauding enthusiastically.
"That was
great, Kris! Who knew could manipulate time and space, and all that jazz!"
Christina gushed.
"Oh, it was
nothing! Just a little trick I learned while-"
"GGRRRRAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Lor was coming at them, foaming at the mouth like a rabid bantha.
Christina
jumped into action, and pushed Kris out of the way, but it was at a great cost.
The girls
heard a *squeak*, and then a small *whimper*. All three looked down onto the
catwalk, and saw Christina's beloved Squiggle, lying there, pale and severed.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
Christina howled, as she ran over to take the Squiggle in her arms.
"Ummm...."
Said Lor nervously, as she looked down at the Squiggle, over to the sobbing
Christina, and back up to the snarling Kris. "You people don't really mean any
harm! You're just all jealous brownie junkies! Admit it!"
Lor
realized that she was probably only making matters worse, and was also beginning
to realize just how high in the air that the catwalk really was.
"Did I say
the wrong thing??" Lor smiled at Kris. Kris glared at Lor. "Uh, er, by the power
invested in me by Fett, be gone!"
Kris, nor
Christina moved.
"Whoa.
We're really high, up here, no?" Lor tried to make friendly conversation.
"Yes, we
are. I bet it would hurt if you were to accidentally TRIP AND FALL!" Kris
yelled.
"Wait! Lor
shouted. "You can't kill me!"
"Why not?"
Kris asked, looking dissappointed.
"Because....um.... Turns out Boba Fett is your...er... Third cousin's
ex-husband,
and your, uh, niece Tina's dad, so um, if Fett and I ever marry, that, er, means
I will be your cousin! Technically. In law. Once removed.... Er yeah! That's
it!" Lor explained, backing up.
Kris
stopped, shocked. She fell to her knees on the catwalk, and gripped her head.
"No! That's not true!" She cried. "It can't be true!!"
"Yes!" Lor
said with a sigh of relief. "I mean, yes, yes, it's very true. Who woulda thunk
it, eh? I guess we'll see each other at family reunions! See ya!" Lor ran across
the catwalk, and through the door, back into the castle.
****
"It's a
trap!! It's a trap!!" Screamed Suzi, as she tried to find her way back to the
kitchen.
Behind her
were hundreds of tiny monkeys. Some sporting knives, others sporting Tacos. Most
of them were making monkey noises, but some of them seemed to be catching on to
basic. They chanted: "Suzi. Come to us. Be our Queen, Suzi. It is your destiny.
You will never escape the Tacos, Suzi."
This chant,
this horrible, horrible chant encouraged Suzi to run harder and faster, but the
little buggers were fast! They began to throw the Tacos at Suzi, which made her
very angry. They were messing up her super-spiffy Sith outfit when there were
hot Vampys around! How could they?!
Suddenly
she could smell Kirin's
Double-dark-fudge-super-duper-creamy-cheesecake-brownies, and she knew she was
almost there.
She ran a
few more meters, and she finally reached the entrance to the kitchen.
Kirin,
Carinae, and Tera all looked up from their huge plates of Brownies, at the very
winded Suzi.
"The
Monkeys... She knew... My weakness..." Suzi heaved. "Trap... Must
leave...."
The monkeys
caught up to Suzi. A few were trying to climb up her legs.
"Get off of
me, you damn dirty apes!!" She screamed.
The other girl jumped up and ignited their Lightsaber. This was about to get messy.
I am
totally on a roll tonight! Looks like I might actually finish this story. :)
Maybe even tonight! Unless I am crippled by cramps again. Ugh!
Oh! And I
want to say a special "Happy Birthday" to our wonderful villainous, Lor. Even
though, technically, her birthday was yesterday. :)
Enjoy!
-----
****CHAPTER
8****
Menucca and
Tam stood in the one of the many hallways of Lor-Alla's castle. It seemed as
though the whole castle was just a bunch of hallways!
Kazzi and
Smispe had been able to talk Tam into taking Menucca with her, for extra
protection. Tam knew she was a good enough Sith to be able to handle whatever
tasks might come at her, all by herself, but she also didn't want the other
girls to worry. So if by taking along a pesky Lightsider helped everyone up on
the ship rest, well then so be it.
The two
were keeping their eyes fixed on a very young boy who was sitting in the middle
of the hall. It was Tam's son, Anakin. He was having quite a good time
levitating his stuffed Mynock in the air.
"Are you
sure this is a good idea?" Menucca asked, concerned. "He awfully... small."
"Size
matters not!" Tam said, then clapped her hand over her mouth in horror. "Oh
gods! Did I just quote Yoda there?" Tam was disgusted with herself.
Menucca was
finding it quite funny, though. She too had clapped her hand over her mouth, to
stifle her hysterical laughter. "Ooooooh! Wait till your Sithsters hear about
this! Hahaha! I *so* set you up for that one! Hahaha! You took the bait!! I
can't believe it! This is a crazy night indeed!"
"Hey! No
one hears *anything* about this! I know where you sleep!" Tam snapped.
She quickly
fell silent when she saw a figure approaching her son.
****
Lor was
heading to her Master's room when she saw something small sitting in the middle
of the floor. She approached it with caution, it could have been a dead monkey
for all she knew.
It was no
dead monkey, in fact, she wasn't quite sure what it was, but is sure was cute,
she decided.
"What a
cute little Munchkin!" Lor cooed, as she kneeled down in front of Anakin.
Anakin
giggled in return.
Lor sat
down in front of him. She had never seen anything quite like him. She spent most
of her time in her castle, living with guys that were thousands of years old.
All adorable, but in a different way.
"Why don't
you come and meet my Master? I bet you would make an excellent Apprentice." Lor
held out her arms.
Anakin
grinned at her mischievously, and held out his arms too. Just as Lor was about
to pick him up, Force Lightening shot from his finger tips, and threw Lor into
the air.
Anakin
giggled louder at the site of a Mandalorian armor clad vampy chick, being
suspended in the air.
Tam and
Menucca rushed into the hall from their hiding places. Tam beamed with motherly
pride, and Menucca's jaw hit the floor in shock.
Anakin
turned Lor upside down, and began shaking her until her helmet fell off, then
dropped her onto the floor.
Menucca and
Tam looked on in shock at the unconscious girl that lay before them. It wasn't
too often that they saw Lor without her helmet. Her lips were slightly parted,
and as Tam and Menucca approached, they could see Vampire fangs.
"So it is
true!" Menucca gasped.
Tam didn't answer. She was too busy watching Anakin as he crawled over to Lor's
discarded helmet.
As he
reached it, Anakin then stuck his little hand inside of it, and pulled out a
data card.
"Well, I'll
be Kessled." Tam said in astonishment.
She rushed
over to her son, and took the card out of his hand. She searched her robes for
her data pad, and slipped the card in.
Menucca
watched intently, as a big grin spread slowly across Tam's face. She knew what
was on the data card. She knew it was finally all over.
****
"Take that,
you little skanky arse primate!" Suzi yelled, as she kicked another tiny monkey
across the kitchen, as if it were a football.
It was a
tough battle. Kirin, Carinae, Suzi, and Tera were all covered in Taco grease,
and just as they thought they were winning, hundreds more Taco monkeys poured
into the kitchen.
The girls
were now almost backed up against the wall, their Lightsaber gleaming. It was
amazing how strong the Taco Monkeys were.
"They'll
never take me alive." Suzi told her Master.
"Don't
worry, Suzi," Carinae assured her. "We'll stick by you to the end. Right, pesky
Lightsiders?" Carinae looked over at Tera and Kirin.
Tera and
Kirin exchanged glances, and nodded. "Right." they agreed.
"Come to
us, Suzi." Taco monkey #1 said.
"Be our
Queen, Suzi." Said Taco Monkey #13
"We'll take
good care of you, Suzi." Taco Monkey #345 chimed in.
Suzi
shuddered visibly. "This is just way too creepy!" She whined like Luke
Skywalker.
Tacos began
to reign down on the once more, as they tried in vein to knock them out of the
way with their Lightsaber blades.
Carinae
would have preferred blaster bolts to this, any day. "It looks like this is it!"
Carinae cried, as the Monkeys continued to press closer.
"What's
that?" Exclaimed Kirin.
"What's
what?" Tera asked.
"I hear it
too!" Cried Suzi.
"GGGGRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!"
"It sounds like...." Carinae paused.
Suddenly a
monstrous creature crashed into the entrance of the kitchen, knocking in the
door facing. Pieces of wall flew everywhere.
"A rancor!"
Carinae choked, waving her hand in front of her face, trying to clear the dust.
Taco
Monkeys ran about screaming, trying to lift large pieces of ruble from their.
The dust
finally cleared, and Tera, Carinae, Suzi, and Kirin could see four figures
sitting atop the Rancor. It was Sianna, Mary, Teia, and Marigold.
"C'mon!
Climb on!" Urged Sianna, from the Rancor.
"They must
be insane!" Said Tera. "Riding a RANCOR?!?!"
"He's a
nice Rancor." Explained Marigold. "His name is Brb."
"Brb? Isn't
that 'Be right back'?" Suzi asked in confusion.
"No, it's
pronounced 'Berb'." Margold glanced down at Carinae, who was laughing.
"Good
choice." Carinae commented, giggling.
Marigold
giggled too, and said "Thanks."
The rest of
the Chicks looked at Carinae and Marigold in confusion.
"Long
story." Carinae said. "Lets go."
Carinae
climbed on, and the rest followed her.
The Monkeys
were getting angry once they realized that the Chicks were getting away. But
certainly not angry enough to chase a Rancor!
"We'll find
you, Suzi!" They screamed after her. "You belong to us!"
****
The two (K)(C)hris's
walked dejectedly down the halls of the Castle, not even really caring if they
ever found the exit. Christina was lost without her Squiggle, and the prospect
of being related to Lor-Alla, to Kris, was a fate worse than Carbonite freezing.
"This has
been the worst day of my life." Stated Kris. "Well, other than that time I was
drunk, and I accidentally picked up Wedge Antillies in a bar..."
Christina
looked over at Kris with wide eyes.
"And come
to think of it, that wasn't really that bad at all." Kris went on without
noticing the look of shock on Christina's face. "Boy, he was a feisty one, I
tell ya-"
"STOP!"
Christina cut Kris off. "Ever heard of 'TMI'? It means 'Too much information'!
and if you don't shut up, I have a strong feeling that we are going to have a
major TMI moment!!!"
"Sheesh,
pesky Lightsider!" Kris held her hand up. "Don't get all worked up."
"I'm
sorry," Christina sighed. "I'm just worried about my Squiggle. I don't know if
it's gonna pull through." She motioned to the Squiggle she now carried, in two
pieces, in her hand.
"Don't
worry, kiddo." Kris put a comforting hand on Christina's shoulder. "If we can
ever find our way out of this Castle of halls, everything will be fine."
"Thanks,
Kris." Christina sniffled.
"Anytime.
You know, for a LSer, you're not that bad." Kris admitted.
"You're not
that bad yourself." Christina repaid the compliment.
"Hey!" Kris
shouted, elbowing Christina in the ribs. "Take that back!! I am to bad!!!"
"Oh! Oh,
right yeah. You are bad!" Christina corrected herself. "The baddest of the bad."
"That's
what I thought." Kris said, satisfied.
--
Kris and
Christina continued walking for a few more minutes, until they heard, "Psst!"
They
instinctively pressed themselves against the wall, and reached for their
Lightsabers.
"Kris,
Christina! It's me, Tam." Tam whispered loudly.
Kris and
Christina ran around the corner to see Menucca, baby Anakin, Tam, and a knocked
out, helmet-less Lor-Alla.
"We the
recipe to Yoda's Special Brownies!" Tam whispered excitedly. "Or should I say,
Anakin found it!"
"No
freaking way! Finally!" Kris squealed.
"Shhh!"
Menucca urged her.
"Why? Why
are we whispering?" Whispered Christina.
"The
Vampire stories about Lor are true." Menucca explained. "We want to be far, far
away when she comes to."
"Agreed."
Said Christina.
"Yeah, so
let's haul." Tam said, picking Anakin up.
Menucca
pulled out her comm. "Request emergency pickup from the U.S.S. SWC. The recipe
to Yoda's Special Brownies is now in possession. I repeat, we have taken back
the recipe to Yoda's Special Brownies."
The announcement was followed by loud cheers. It sounded as thought every SWC was waiting by the comm to hear that news.
Well,
friends, this is it! The end! I hope you have all enjoyed reading this story,
because I know I have enjoyed writing it!
I want to
apologize to those who had small parts, in comparison to others. It was really
hard for someone like me to keep my thoughts straight, much less stick everyone
in this story. If I forgot you, please forgive. Leading roles were not chosen by
favoritism. It all has to do with activity on this list, and/or who well I know
you off list. I love you all equally, rest assured.
I'd like to
say thank you to the inventors of the Spell Checker, Thesaurus, and
Dictionary.com, for those are three of the best things a writer can have. I'd
also like to thank The Man Up Stairs :), my mum for letting me stay up till 5am
so that I could write, and alllll of the Chicks for being such good sports (Lor
especially) and showering me with bundles of glorious feedback. You have all
kept me going with this. Your support is so appreciated. And I am sorry all of
us in this story couldn't be as cool as Kris.
So enjoy, and let me know what you think!

****CHAPTER
9****
Upon
returning to the U.S.S. SWC, all of the girls were so exhausted, that they slept
the entire way back to Coruscant.
Once they
were home, all of the girls met back up at the Lightsider's Clubhouse. The
Chicks that hadn't gone to Le'feu'et'explosifs, had decorated the main floor of
the Clubhouse with Multi-colored streamers, and balloons. There were folding
chairs lined up in front of a make-shift stage, and kilted clones danced atop
tables, and massive buffets of food were set out.
"Wow! This
is wonderful!" Tam praised to masses of Lurkers that had set up the banquet.
All of the SWC took their seats, and Mary was the first to take the stage.
"Okay, I
have a couple of announcements here." She said absently, staring at a piece of
paper that she held in her hands. "First of all, I found my autographed 8x10
piccy of kilted David Duchvony!!!" She squealed.
Kris, Suzi,
and the rest of the kilt lovers all stood on their chairs, and "Woooooooohoooooo!!!!"'ed.
"Yes, yes,"
Mary continued. "Unfortunately, it was stuck to Brb's foot, but I was able to
dry it out, and everything is just spiffing!"
The SWC
cheered.
"Thank
you." Mary said, politely. "Now, onto the next order of business...." She
paused, and stared at her paper for a moment. "Oh yes, Jedi Princess Mrs.
Christina Skywalker? Could you join me on stage here?"
Christina
walked nervously onto the stage.
"Where's
your Squiggle, dear?" Mary asked.
Christina
reached into her pocket, and pulled out a handkerchief, then hesitantly handed
it to Mary.
Mary
unwrapped the hankie, and pulled out the two pieces of the squiggle. She walked
over to the podium, and laid them there.
Mary then
ran off stage briefly, and when she came back, she was holding a large roll of
Duct tape.
Some of the
crowed laughed, some cheered, and some held their breath wondering what she was
about to do.
"Christina," Mary began. "Duct tape is kind
of like the Force. It has a
Darkside,
and a Lightside. And it binds the Universe together."
She paused,
and pulled off a long piece of the tape, and wrapped it around the middle of the
Squiggle.
The
Squiggle hopped back up into the air, and immediately took it's usual place
beside Christina.
The crowd
erupted in applause.
"I can't believe this! Thank you so much, Mary!" Christina gave Mary a big hug.
"Anytime."
She hugged Christina back.
They
separated, and Christina excitedly hugged her Squiggle, then left the stage.
"Thank
you." Mary said, trying to calm the loud crowd. "My work here is done. I will
now turn the stage over to Tiger Gladys and her Twenty-Seven Kilted body Guards,
Gaeriel, and Demos for a special presentation."
Mary bowed
gracefully, blew kisses to the crowd, and left the stage.
Tig, Tig's
bodyguards, Gaeriel, and Demos flooded onto the stage, all pulling a large
something, with a sheet over it.
The SWC
cheered as they entered.
"Thank
you." Gaeriel said, into the microphone. "After hearing the story of the Evil
Taco Monkeys that several of our brave SWC had to fight, Demos, Tig, and I have
come up with a method that will not only fend off Taco Monkeys in the future,
but turn their own evil obsession against them. Tig, go ahead." Gaeriel
instructed, tossing the microphone to Tiger.
"We would
like to introduce to all of you, and Suzi especially, the *Tac-o-Matic 1138*.
Blast down your arch enemy with icky, greasy Tacos!" Tiger announced, as Demos
yanked the sheet off of the machine.
It looked
like a large sugar canister, with a barrel on it. It was bright red, and had
Tac-o-Matic 1138 in big, snazzy writing across the side.
Tiger
handed the microphone to Kilted Bodyguard #18, who handed the
microphone
over to Demos.
"It's still
only a proto-type, and quite cumbersome to carry around, but I have been working
restlessly on a smaller version that you will be able to wear like a back-pack.
By the time those Taco Monkeys come for Suzi in her sleep, she'll be able to
jump right up, and blast them away!" Demos smiled.
The crowd
applauded, obviously impressed, as the thirty of them rolled their creation from
the stage.
Carinae ran
onto the stage, looking extremely unorganized as usual. She dumped a pile of
papers onto the podium, and began frantically rummaging through them.
"Ah,
testing." She tapped on the microphone, not even looking up.
It replied
to her with loud feedback. The crowd groaned and covered their ears.
"Oh! Oh,
sorry sweeties!" Carinae apologized, still not looking up from what she was
doing. "Where... Is... it...Oh here! Okay, Hi!!!" She said, finally, pushing her
hair out of her eyes. "Okay, first thing's first. Whoever is driving the Purple
speeder bike, with Nine Inch Nails stickers all over it; You left your lights
one, your battery is probably running down, *I'm not* giving you a ride home, so
you had better go take care of that." She announced sternly.
Jedi Sa'rah
grinned sheepishly, and slipped out of the room.
"That's
what I thought." Carinae laughed. "Next order of business. Kris, I called the
DSer's clubhouse to check the messages. Darth Maul called. He said, and I quote;
'Hey there, sweet thang! Tango classes tomorrow are moved from 3:30, to 1:30, so
don't forget! Also, quilting circle has been running long the past couple of
weeks, so I may be late for the Scrabble tournament at the YMCA. Other than
that, be sure to wear your sexy Robes Friday night, and I'll bring the Ready
Whip!'"
All of the
SWC burst out laughing, except for Suzi, who was fuming with anger.
"Don't
move, Apprentice," Carinae ordered, sensing Suzi's pending outburst. "Or those
Tenchi videos are mine, *before* you get the DVDs."
Suzi glared
at Carinae. "Oh yes, almighty Master." She mumbled sarcastically.
"Now, for
the reason I am really up here tonight." Carinae cleared her throat. "It is my
pleasure to present to Jedi Tera, Jedi Kirin, Jedi Christina, Darth Suzi, Kris,
the Almighty Sith Princess, Jedi Marigold, Jedi Teia, Jedi Sianna, and Sith
Goddess Ka'ana Sul, otherwise known as Mary with an extremely high honor. The
Purple heart of Bum Kicking and Bravery. You all played pivotal roles in
recovering the recipe to Yoda's Special Brownies, and saving the Galaxy. You've
shown that Jedi and Sith can work together, when all of our butts are hanging
over the Sarlaac pit. Come up on the stage."
The nine
girls filed onto the stage. Carinae placed a medal around each one of their
necks, and hugged them.
"Now, last,
but not least by any means, it is with much excitement that I present to Tam,
also known as Mommy Vader, and her beautiful son Anakin the Gold Medal of Honor.
You two really did a great job. Your Galaxy thanks you." Carinae paused and
motioned for Tam and Anakin to come up on stage.
Then she
placed individual medals around their necks, and hugged them also.
The crowd leapt to their feet, applauding, and cheered at the top of their lungs. This truly was a night for celebration. And you can bet that the SWC took advantage of every moment.
****EPILOGUE****
Lor-Alla
sat next to Boba Fett on 'Slave 1', box of matches in hand.
"They will
pay. And that's a promise." Fett told her.
"I know,
Master. And they shall pay soon." Lor agreed. "They will never even know what
hit them."
Boba and
Lor laughed evilly, before speeding off into Hyperspace.
****
Christina
was making her way back from the kitchen with a glass of warm milk in her hand.
It had been a long, fun party, and she was ready to get a lot of sleep.
"This way."
Christina
turned around in the dark hallway, as soon as she heard the whisper.
"Ow! You
ran over my foot, you big oaf!"
"Haha!!!"
"Shhhh!"
Christina
had a bad feeling about this. She ran down the hall toward the whispers.
"This
shouldn't be so hard, it's not like we haven't done this before!"
Christina
entered the main living room, and was shocked at the scene before her.
Becca,
Mary, and Kris, dressed in their P.J.'s, where now in the process of....
"Unhand
that couch!!" Christina screamed.
Kris, Becca,
and Mary all looked up like Nerf-in-the-headlights.
"Push
harder girls, let's go!" Shouted Kris.
****
And so, it was a normal night at the Lightsider's Clubhouse... Or at least as normal as you could get in the land of The Star Wars Chicks.
THE END
