Padawan Memoirs: Trouble in the Temple (Part Two)

Darth Lemur. He had attacked only twice before, each time brutal, but a long time had passed in between each attack. The first time was in person. The second time, by way of thermal detonators

And this time...mice! Each attack gets progressively worse!

Master Yoda knew the little vermin weren't going to get rid of themselves, so he called all of the Jedi in the temple forth to take care of them, led by our best Jedi...












Master Puss just also happens to be the best-suited for the job.

[A few Jedi can be seen traveling down the vast corridor of the temple, looking for the last of the mice. One of said Jedi is a young-looking blue twi'lek, another being a young padawan with a man who looks to be his master, and a small cat..]

AAYLA: Mice like coffee, right?

OBI-WAN: [waving his cheeto bag back and forth] What about cheetos? Or beer? Or WWE Smackdown!? Wait...we're looking for mice? I hate mice! [he skeptically glances back and forth]

AAYLA: [gives OBI-WAN a strange look]

OBI-WAN: I-I uh...I hate them because they..um..because Master Yoda hates them. Yeah, that's it!

PUSS: Silence! [ears twitch in the direction of the wall.] Do you not hear that sound? [he crouches down low and sneaks towards a small hole in the wall..]

QUI-GON: Um..that's like, not possible for Obi-Wan, man. His ears are all waxy.


PUSS: [in a whisper] Cheetos! [He extends his paw towards Obi-Wan, who reluctantly hands him a single cheeto] Get your lightsabers ready..[He sets the cheeto down a few inches in front of the hole and dives to hide behind a conviniently-placed plant, followed by the other three Jedi.]

[Some shuffling can be heard just inside the hole, and soon, a small furry creature emerges from the hole. It looks at the cheeto, sniffs it, and turns back around to face the hole. It squeaks, and a few more furry creatures run out to join their friend.]

PUSS: [still whispering] Now! [he jumps out from behind the decorative plant and in front of the hole from whence the mice had come.] Pray for mercy from Puss in boots! [hushed voice] ..and friends..

[PUSS, AAYLA, and QUI-GON have now formed a circle around the mice. OBI-WAN appears to have climbed to the top of the decorative plant, letting out an occasional quiet, whimpering noise.]

MOUSE # 1: (censored)

[In no time at all, the three Jedi have roasted the last of the mice with their lightsabers..]

OBI-WAN: [climbing down from the plant] Well, that was easy.

QUI-GON: Too easy, man.

PUSS: Behind you!

[Our Jedi heroes(and heroine) turn around to lay eyes upon their worst nightmare--Darth Lemur]

DARTH LEMUR: ...[he remains silent as he activates his lightsaber..]

QUI-GON: Padawan dudes, go find little man! [he and PUSS both take battle-ready stances]

[AAYLA and OBI-WAN take off in the opposite direction to locate Master Yoda, while the fight commences between the Jedi team and the Sith Lord. They exchange blows for awhile, neither side managing to strike the other. It is only after the quick-on-his-feet PUSS attempts an aerial assault that he manages to deliver a lightsaber gash into his foe's arm. Somewhat crippled, the Sith Lord cries out in pain and backs away from the two Jedi. It is then that the creature makes a mad dash for the window, leaping through the glass and into a speeder that apparently, had been waiting for him.]

PUSS: No! [he races after the lemur, taking a similar leap into the Sith Lord's speeder just as it takes off...]

QUI-GON: ..Go on without me, man! I haven't had enough brownies to even attempt to attempt an attempt at a jump like that..

[At this time, the two padawans return with a small green Jedi Master]

YODA: Miss something, did I?

Will Puss be successful in bringing the evil Darth Lemur to his knees on his own? Tune in next time...
