An extremely short and silly first-person thing when I wrote
way back when when I was still into the Young Jedi Knights series. Barbie
dolls as SW characters helped out... I know it's stupid, and I've recycled
way too many quotes for my own good. Just thought I'd upload it for some
laughs!
I went into the kitchen one morning to get breakfast,
and when I got within hearing range of the kitchen, I heard laughter, and
a Wookiee roar. At first I thought we had an intruder, but then I relaxed.
Would a thief or assassin laugh at one of Jacen's jokes? I reached the
open door just in time to get pelted with a spoonful of milk. I shrieked
in surprise. When I managed to see through my left eye again, I saw what
had become of my kitchen.
"What in space is going on in here?"
Jaina, who had been the intended target for the
milk, held up a slightly cracked egg and explained. "We were making breakfast.
Jacen rinses the Vllara gourds, Tenel Ka slices the Ferra apples, Lowie
mashes the ginger, I crack and put in the eggs," Jaina put down the squashed
egg. "obviously, and Zekk mixes everything up." I shook my head. I was
never going to let my children talk me into letting their friends come
for a sleep-over again!
Zekk, who had thrown the milk at Jaina, stepped
forward to apologize. "Sorry about your eye. Um, would you like to try
our mixture?"
I smiled. "No, thank you. I've tried enough of your
creations already. It's not that I disapprove of your trying, I just can't
stand food that has Wookiee hair in it -- no offense, Lowie."
Lowbacca grunted a reply. Em Teedee translated.
"Master Lowbacca suggests that you disregard past experiences. He says
that if you were to try it again, the flavor would not be of his fur."
I sighed. One more time. "All right. I'll try it
one more time, but this had better be good, or you're never going to be
allowed in my kitchen again." Jaina giggled, and Zekk handed me a spoonful
of what looked like spoiled milk. As soon as the goo came into contact
with my taste buds, I shrank back. It tasted horrible!
"Yuck! What did you make this out of besides Vllara
gourds and ginger anyway?"
Jacen stepped forward and sniffed the mixing bowl.
He wrinkled his nose "Phew! Maybe next time I'll measure more carefully."
Tenel Ka gripped the bowl with her hand and said,
"This is a fact. Let's throw it out."
At this, Jaina piped up, "Well, what are we waiting
for?"
I laughed and started out the kitchen. "When it
tastes better, call me." This wasn't so bad after all!
