The Cheesecake

The characters of Darth Maul, Obi-Wan, and Qui-Gon, all belong
to George Lucas, and Lucasfilms. I only own the female lead. I make
no money off this story, do not use without permission.
It was no use, there was no way she was going to sleep tonight.
She had been tossing and turning all night. First flipping over to
her right side, then to her left; on to her back, and finally on her stomach;
Mashing her face into the pillow, arms flung to the sides. ‘This
kinda makes it hard to breathe.’ She thought to herself, turning her head
to the side and taking a deep breath.
A faint grumbling in her stomach, made her groan in annoyance.
It had been far too long since dinner, and it was way too long until breakfast.
She really didn’t want to leave the comfort of her bed, to go make herself
a snack, but knew her tummy was not going to get any quieter.
Slowly she peeled the covers from her body, and slid herself
out of her bed. As her bare feet hit the cold floor, she shivered,
almost considered going back to the warmth of her bed, when her stomach
made another insistent growl.
She reached for the Jedi cloak she had left hanging on the
back of a chair; wrapping it around herself, grateful for it’s warmth.
Leaving her room, she silently padded down the long hallway,
still groggy from lack of sleep. She entered the kitchen a moment
later, and headed for the fridge.
Opening it up, the light at the top of the fridge turned on
blinding her for a moment. She blinked her eyes several times to
adjust them to the sudden glare, until they finally no longer had white
dots.
She scanned the contents for a bit, seeing Milk, eggs, bacon,
leftover turkey with stuffing. Until one item caught her eye, like
a beacon in the night, calling to her. Was her favourite off all desserts,
a cherry-chocolate cheesecake!!!! She squealed in delight, reaching
in and pulling it out. She smelled the cheesecake, and sighed.
Placing it on the table, she turned to the cupboard and took
out a fork and knife, readying herself to settle down to enjoy her
treat. Realizing she didn’t have her favourite cup with her, that
she had left it in her room, she quickly got up, and trotted back
down the hall to her room.
Making a quick search around her bed, and finding it had rolled
underneath, she flattened herself to the floor, and stretched her arm under,
finally managing to reach it, before she pulled all the muscles in the
arm.
Happy she found her cup, she made her way back to the kitchen.
Smiling giddily. Reaching the kitchen, she went to the fridge, and took
out the container of milk. She poured herself a glass, put the milk
away, and turned to enjoy her midnight snack.
She gasped in shock at what she saw, her cheesecake was missing!!!!!
She couldn’t believe her eyes!! It was just there a moment ago!!!
She was about ready to scream bloody murder, when she noticed a dim light
seeping from the dining room. She slowly made her way to the open door,
poking her head around the frame.
She was struck by the horror of what she saw, seated at the
table, munching away on her beloved cheesecake, was a Sith Lord!!!!! She
couldn’t believe it!!!! This dark cloaked creature was sitting there calmly
in the middle of the Jedi Temple eating HER Cherry-chocolate cheesecake!!!!!!
She was mortified!!!! How DARE HE!!!!
She stormed into the room, hands on her hips, with barely
contained anger, “HEY!! That’s my cheesecake you are eating buster!!! “
The Sith calmly looked up at her, with his piercing yellow eyes,
and said in a soft, but husky voice, “I don’t see your name on it.”
She cocked her head to the side and said, “You don’t know my name.”
He shrugged’ “Ok, I don’t see any name on it then, is that better?”
“Take your grimy hands off my cheesecake!!!! Right this second!!!”
he moved his hands around the outside edges of the cake, pulling
it closer to him.
“finders keepers, losers weepers.”
Infuriated by this comment, she reached under her Jedi cloak, and
pulled out her lightsaber, “En Garde, you swine!!!!!”
She flicked the switch, but nothing happened. She tried it again,
still nothing happened. Glancing at the Sith, who was still slowly munching
away on the cake, she took a quick look at the lightsaber she held in her
hand. Oh man!!! This is Obi-Wan’s!!! He fried it falling into the
swamp on Naboo!!!! He had since made a new one, but how did it get
in her robe?????
“One moment please, you stay right where you are. And stop eating
my cake!!!!” She hurried back to her room, picking up her own lightsaber,
and rushed back to the dining room. The Sith was still there, partaking
of her dessert.
“ok now, En Garde you swine!!!!” igniting her lightsaber, a bright
purple flash of light burst out of the end. She held it toward him,
in an offensive stature.
“Um, you’re a Jedi right?”
She nodded.
“You do realize it’s against your code to attack first do you not?”
“That doesn’t matter now!! This is a matter of saving my cheesecake
from you!!!”
With a shrug the Sith got to his feet and pulled out his own lightsaber.
Igniting both ends of his dual saber, he held it out for inspection.
“yes yes very nice, what are you a browner???? Let’s get to it!!”
She swung madly at him, he blocking it smoothly. They parried, and attacked,
defended, and leaped.
The noise of the sabers became deafening. Finally, through
the door of the dining room, burst Qui-Gon, and Obi-Wan. Lightsabers blazing,
and cloaks flying behind them.
“What’s going on in here?” Qui-Gon’s deep smooth voice asked.
“What does it look like??? I’m fighting a Sith Lord!!” She panted
in response.
“I wondered what that noise was.” Qui-Gon nodded, preparing to join
the fight. At that moment. Obi-Wan pointed to the table, and said in an
excited voice, “Hey cherry-chocolate cheesecake!!!!”
Dropping their lightsabers, both Jedi sat at the table picking
up pieces of the cake in their hands and letting it slide down their throats.
She was dumbfounded, forgetting her fight with the Sith, she stared at
them with her mouth dropping open.
“Hey you guys want any?” Obi-Wan asked, mouth full of cake.
“don’t’ mind if I do.” The Sith replied sitting down in his original
chair, and picking up his fork.
“EXCUSE ME!!!! That was mine!!!! That is the reason I was
fighting that one for!!!! That is my cheesecake!!!!! That does it!!!”
Raising her lightsaber, and igniting it again, “En Garde you swines!!!”
They just looked at her, like she had lost her mind, and continued
eating. Angering her further. She lowered and deactivated her
lightsaber, using the force, she picked up some pieces of cheesecake and
smashed them into each of their faces. The force sent them falling backwards,
each landing with a thud.
She smiled then, having gotten her revenge, finally sitting
down and enjoying what was left of the cheesecake.
The end.
