MCA to #6- Saturday night

[solo_sword]

After her shift at Caritas was over, Jaina headed back to her apartment, figuring anything that needed to be stomped on would still need to be stomped on after at least a couple hours of sleep. But when she got to her floor- the third floor, by the way- she saw a random turtle shell ricocheting back and forth across the hall and hitting the walls with what had to be one of the most instantly annoying sounds ever. And of course it was in Jaina's way to her apartment.

With a sigh, she got as close to the thing as she dared, then jumped over it so that she could actually get to her door. She wasn't sure how to stop the thing without grabbing onto it or using telekinesis she wasn't sure would work, and if she was here, she was not going to end up back at the dorms again and have to come all the way back here.

She regretted this after a quick search through her apartment to make sure nothing had made its way in here. She could still hear the banging on the walls outside her door, and that was going to get annoying really fast. If only sleeping on her balcony wouldn't chance her waking up to a spiny turtle getting dropped on her.


[SORRY SQUIRRELS but you must deal with me entertaing myself here. Can be open if you have a reason to come by and if you can get around a turtle shell. God damn I hate those shells.]

"Jump, Daddy," commanded a sleepy little toddler in Anakin's arms. They'd had a busy day of jumping on things (well, Juliet telling Anakin to jump on things and then laughing hysterically when he did it) and now it was time to visit Jaina and crash on her couch.

"Jaina?" Anakin called out, yanking the shell with the Force and using it to bang on the door.

[solo_sword]

"That was unnecessary!" Jaina called back, knowing exactly who it was even before she came to open the door for them and let them in. "Though thank you for making the sound stop before I snapped."

[sith_happened]

"You're welcome," Anakin said, grinning. "Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaai!" Juliet cried out happily. "I Ju-eet!"

"Where should I put the shell?" Anakin added.

[solo_sword]

"You can throw it off the balcony for all I care. Aim for the cloud guy," she said, and turned her attention to Juliet with a smile. "Hi, sweetheart. You're much littler than the last time I saw you."

[sith_happened]

"X-Wing?" Juliet asked hopefully as Anakin put her down and went to the balcony, beaning the cloud guy with the turtle shell.

Kriffing cloud guy.

[solo_sword]

"You know what?" Jaina said, crouching by her. "If your dad says it's okay, maybe we can go look at my X-wing sometime soon when it's light out, how's that sound?"

She was so helpful.

[sith_happened]

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!"

Juliet needed to work on her volume control.

[solo_sword]

"Indoor voices, honey," Jaina told her, smiling a little at the reaction anyway. "It's late, people might be sleeping."

Sure. Considering that till a minute ago there'd been a turtle shell bouncing around the hall.

[sith_happened]

"NO, LOUD," Juliet corrected with a little frown.

"Bed time, sweetheart," Anakin tried.

"NO, PLAY!"

[solo_sword]

"Listen to your dad, or no X-wing," Jaina said calmly. She hoped that would work. She knew it would have worked on her.

[sith_happened]

Juliet looked thoughtful. "X-Wing?"

"Tomorrow," Anakin said, who knew how his daughter's mind worked. "Not now. The X-Wing is sleeping now."

Juliet frowned. "Milk?" she tried instead.

[solo_sword]

"I can reward indoor voices with milk," Jaina decided, standing up to head to the kitchen. "I'm sure you two had fun today."

[sith_happened]

"Daddy jump!" Juliet said happily, crawling onto the sofa as Anakin followed Jaina with a sippy cup. Yes, a sippy cup. He's still badass. Quiet you.

"Baby's first invasion," he said dryly. "It wasn't exactly what I'd planned for when I brought her to the island to give Rory the day off."

[solo_sword]

"Hey, if she was going to see her first invasion, this was the one," Jaina said, getting the milk from the fridge. She might not have been able to cook, but at least the fridge was mostly stocked like a normal-person's. "Do you want anything?"

[sith_happened]

"Do you have anything snack-like?" he asked, peering inside. "Someone ate all of my dinner while she made me jump. She's mean."

[solo_sword]

"I've got leftover pizza, popcorn, pretty much anything that can be microwaved. Can you tell I won't cook?" she said, letting him look, and she'd just pour the milk into the sippy cup while he did. "Feel free to grab whatever."

[sith_happened]

"Sounds like home," Anakin said with a smile. Rory and he weren't big cooks either. He grabbed a slice of pizza and glanced out into the living room where things had gotten very quiet.

"I think you can put the milk away," he said, grinning. "She's asleep already."

[solo_sword]

"Oh, well, that makes it easy," she said, going to put it away again. "I can see how a day of making you jump would be very exhausting for her."

[sith_happened]

"Plus she skipped her nap," Anakin said, "in case she missed me jumping wrong. She really liked when I got zapped and ended up in the dorms."

[solo_sword]

"I hated when that happened," Jaina grumbled. "Did she go with you when you got sent back?"

[sith_happened]

Anakin shook his head. "So in case you're wondering how fast you can run from the lobby to the park, the answer is 'really, really fast.'"

[solo_sword]

"Yeah, I found that out when I got zapped and had to go back to get my lightsaber," Jaina admitted, and paused. "Not that I'm equating the two things..."

[sith_happened]

He grinned. "Thanks for that clarification."
