Too Good Is True, Chapter Nineteen: *Running out of witty titles here. Help?*
[INT. COLONEL TOBIN'S QUARTERS -- NIGHT.
Obi-Wan's using shadow puppets still, now acting out the Battle of Geonosis.]
OBI-WAN: Still they do not flinch, brave Knights of the Republic, as they rush into battle against the droids of the Trade Federation and the Separatists...
DOOKU (deadpan): Brilliant. Simply amazing.
OBI-WAN (smiling): Thank you. I've practiced.
PALPATINE: On the subject of "practicing", Master Kenobi, can we get back to the issue of "practicing" every method we can to get through this?
(Beat)
OBI-WAN: All right then. :)
a couple days later. . .
ANAKIN: Don't you jump cut when I'm talking to you, dammit!
I was just about to turn on the vaccum
OBI-WAN: You know, screw this -- I quit. *Throws away datapad where he's tracking all the fic's spelling mistakes*
ANAKIN (deadpan): A statement most likely made by the fic's beta.
OBI-WAN: Assuming it had one...
when I heard someone knock on the door. I took out my ear plugs and walked into the hall. I opened the door and saw Gary. "Hi, Desiree. Is Joe don here?"
BOBA FETT: *Nodding off*
Desiree - "Hi Gary! Yeah, he's in the trophy room working on a song. Come on in." At that moment Joe don stuck his head out of the kitchen.
Joe don - "Hi Gary. What do you need?"
Gary - "Nothing. Just wanted talk about the some new details on the tour."
OBI-WAN: I am not going to correct this fic's spelling and grammar...I am not going to correct this fic's spelling and grammar...
Joe don - "K, lets go in the living room."
ARAWN: You know, I doubt even J.R.R. Tolkien himself could have saved this mess.
ATTON (good-natured): Tolkien: They're Doing It Wrong.
Gary - "Okay. Are you coming Desiree?" Gary said, turning to me.
Desiree - "No, I have to vacuum first. But I'll be in as soon as I can." Gary and Joe don nodded and walked in to the living room, and I started vacuuming.
ANAKIN: *Humming the "Boring" Song, then stops when he realizes Obi-Wan isn't even paying attention*
OBI-WAN: Go on, Padawan. Go on. *Sighs* It's probably the only way I can prevent myself from slipping into a *coma* hearing it...
TOBIN (indignant): What about *us*, Kenobi?!
OBI-WAN: Yes, Tobin. You too.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Gary - "Okay, because one of our hair&makeup/clothing artists is on maturnity leave, you and Joe don will have to share a artist. So, don't fight over her."
OBI-WAN (muttering): Doing my job for me...
Desiree - "What's her name?"
Gary - "Jessica Beach."
Beat.
NUTE GUNRAY: Excuse me...
He goes over and bangs his head against the wall, all the while screaming curses in Nemoidian that manage to reach the Unknown Regions. Revan looks up for a moment, furrowing his brows, then shrugs and goes back to searching for the True Sith like nothing happened.
Desiree - "When wil I get to meet her?"
Gary - "Next week when we all leave for touring."
Joe don - "So, Gary, is Shorty coming on tour with us again?"
TERRI CLARK (wryly): Shorty? They're still using that word?
OBI-WAN: *Is now acting out a scene from SPACEBALLS with his shadow puppets and can't be bothered to respond*
MIRA (to Terri): I think it broke him.
TERRI CLARK: Yeah. (Shakes head in sympathy) Poor man. At least he's in a better place now...
ANAKIN: For now.
They chuckle despite themselves.
Gary - "Probably." Gary said, rolling his eyes. Joe don and Gary burst out laughing.
Desiree - "What's so funny?"
Joe don - "You'll see."
ANAKIN: You know...I have a very dramatic feeling about this...
TERRI CLARK (teasing): You overactor you...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
During dinner it had clouded up. Now it was starting to drizzle heavyly. I went out onto the porch and got my sleeping bag so it wouldn't get wet. I would be sleeping with Joe don tonight.
Desiree - "Joe don, I'm going to bed."
ANAKIN (sarcastic): Gee, you think?!
OBI-WAN (imitating Dark Helmet): Now you'll see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb...
ANAKIN (to Terri): That's some pretty good comedic timing there...
TERRI CLARK: *Chuckles*
Joe don - "Okay." He said, getting up.
I went upstairs and into the bathroom. I brushed teeth, put on a loose t-shirt, and clean pair of shorts, and finally undid my bun and shook out my hair just as Joe don came in. He smiled.
Joe don - "You're beautiful."
ANAKIN (imitating Padme/Desiree): That's because I'm so in love...
Desiree - "Thanks." I walked back into the bed room, grabbed my diary, a pen, and climbed in to bed. Joe don came out a few minutes later and got under the covers. He laid there a minute then raised up on his elbow so he could look over my shoulder. "JOE DON!"
Joe don - "Sorry, were you writing about me?" He said, not sounding the least bit sorry.
TERRI CLARK (as Desiree): Get your own, buddy.
Desiree - "Maybe," I said playfully. "Oh, never mind, I'll just write it tomorrow." I closed the book and turned off the lamp. Joe don had rolled over. "Joe don?" He rolled over and faced me.
Joe don - "Hmm?"
Desiree - "Joe don," I pulled one of his curls and took a deep breath. "I love you." Joe don scooted closer, put his arms around me, looked in to my eyes and said: "I love you too.
OBI-WAN: He did it! Lone Starr destroyed the Transformer vacuum thing --
PALPATINE: Um, Master Kenobi, wrong --
ANAKIN: Shhh...shhh...he's in a better place now.
PALPATINE: Right. (Sighs) Sorry.
