Anakin rolled his eyes so high they appeared to nearly fall out of his eyes sockets. “How do you know I haven’t been here before? I could have easily escaped and taken a day trip when I was in Sithie Walrus Rehab,” he said, a hint of a scowl crossing his face. The scowl didn’t last long, however. “Oh, look! It’s Merry Poopings!” Anakin shouted, clearly having learned of the character in some popular culture reference, but know quite knowing who she was. He charged up to the foofy-skirted woman, who he expected to break into song at any moment. However, it was the man beside her that did the singing. Anakin watched in disappointment as all Merry Poopings did was dance around cheerily and flounce her ruffly skirt. “Aw… Aren’t you gonna sing ‘A spoonful of vinegar helps the venison go down?’” Anakin said quietly, looking crushed. The performers exchanged nervous glances, shuffling their tap-dance shoe shod feet awkwardly. They knew it was their responsibility to make this place the Happiest on Earth for everyone, even the confused little boy before them. Doing so was near impossible, unfortunately, especially because the woman Anakin so badly wanted to sing had a nasty case of laryngitis. Studying the looks on the actors’ faces, Anakin soon realized that he would probably not bear witness to the performance he bad wished to see, and hastily moved off to catch up with his master. Crestfallen, he sprinted to catch up with Obi-Wan. He was a little out of breath as he reached the entrance of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, and so was forced to refrain from complaining any further about the ride’s lameness. The ride didn’t actually even look so bad from close up. Listening closely, Anakin thought he could here a spooky voice repeating the mantra, “Dead men tell no tales! Dead men tell no tales!” over and over again. He also heard what sounded like… no. It couldn’t be. Was that a wolf’s howl? |

Obi-Wan shook his head. "Anakin, it's a 'Spoonful of Sugar Makes the Medicine Go Down' not a 'Spoonful of Vinegar Makes the Venison Go Down'," he said despairingly, "and her name is Mary Poppins. I can't believe I know more about the stuff of childhood more so than you do." The parrot's broken "Dead men tell no tales" was truly adding to the mood as the ride started to crawl forward, and Obi-Wan could hardly contain his glee as the ride started. This was it! Pirates of the Caribbean! Finally Obi-Wan could have a day of fun, as long as his Padawan would cooperate. So far, so good. Then something struck him as he noticed Anakin sit up, at alert for (seemingly) the first time since they'd arrived. What was that sound? It had almost sounding like a baying dog, but it couldn't be. It was too wild to be a dog. But it sounded so real, and Obi-Wan was convinced that it had to be true, not just a sound effect on a distant ride. "Did you hear a wolf howl?" Obi-Wan asked Anakin apprehensively. |

“I had a more Sithie childhood that you did,” Anakin snickered, before sticking his tongue out at Obi-Wan. He stood up in the ride to try to see where the incessant baying emanated from, earning himself a very disapproving look from one of the ride operaors. Just as she opened her mouth to scold him, the gondola lurched forward, knocking Anakin into Obi-Wan’s lap. “Augh! I look like your girlfriend!” he shrieked, his voice shrill enough to pass as one. He quickly scrambled away, although as soon as the little boat entered the pitch-black, violent stretch of the ride he began to slide a little closer to his master again. The eerie howling, coupled with the darkness, gave him the willies. It wasn’t long, however, before the gondola entered what appeared to be a rowdy, colorful pirate town. Anakin couldn’t help but join in the raucous songs. Admittedly, his girly voice did sound a little out of place (unless one were to mistake him for a wench) but he paid no mind. He did pay attention, though, when a dark shadow slunk out from behind one of the jerky figures. “What’s that?!” he yelled, standing up in the gondola again (Anakin was famous for not learning from his mistakes). Vaguely, he noticed that the howling had come to a halt. “It looked like the big bad wolf or something! Quick! Call a huntsman! You don't want to be eaten, do you, GranObima?!” |

Obi-Wan could do nothing but frown at Anakin's antics. "You do not look like my girlfriend, you look like an idiot," he remarked, before settling down on the ride. The eeriness of the ride was pleasing to Obi-Wan, exactly what he wanted out of this ride. However, the howl was still pressing to him, making the ride a wee bit harder to enjoy. Finally, he saw the shape of the wolf. No, it couldn't be! "Anakin, stop it! I am not GrandObiMa or anything!" He rolled his eyes and squirmed as far away from Anakin as he possibly could. "Now, Anakin, I insist that you sit down and behave yourself!" |

Anakin complied, if for no other reason than that he was worried that he wouldn’t be able to swim in the water the little gondola roughly sloshed through. “Aw! GranObima, I want to be able to see- LOOK! There it is again! The big black thing!” Anakin crowed, leaning a bit too far out of the boat and having to hastily catch onto the rail to avoid falling headfirst into the black, rubbish filled river. Suddenly, the boat plunged down a steep slope, knocking Anakin forward so that he smashed his little knee caps on the watery bottom of the boat. After he had struggled back up and plopped his bottom (which was then covered in water from the floor of the boat) back onto the seat, he startled in fear, noticing that they had entered a new area of the ride. This area was full of the skeletons of hapless pirates who had died in some rather unpleasant manner. They languished in various positions, performing such tasks as guarding treasure and steering a ghost ship. One of them had a dog. But wait… It wasn’t a dog… The rapid charge of the beast towards the boat elicited a ragged scream from Anakin. “It’s not wax! It’s alive! Augh!” The creature responded with a snarl as it leaped into the boat, knocking Anakin flat on his back. As he screeched again and reached for his lightsabre, it said in a voice that was startlingly cheerful, Long time, no see, friends! |

Obi-Wan let out a rather feminine yelp, before he settled down. "Aaka?" he asked, confused. "I didn't know you'd be here!" It was strange to think that he'd actually find his old friends from New York City again. Anakin's return to the Order was surprising enough, after all generally Sith rehab graduates didn't come back to the Order. They were just happy enough to live normal lives. Well, as normal as one's life could be after being a Sith. "Aaka, how did you find out we were in DisneyWorld?" Obi-Wan asked the wolf. "I mean, out of all the places in the world..." |

It seemed like a good idea at the time... How are we to live in the present, look to the future and remember the past? If anybody has the number of the wise man on the mountain, could I please have it? I like black licorice and the color green. There's a reason for this madness. I fell off the Train of Thought. Burr shot Hamilton. Elka wants a red hat. I can't find any relation in the statements above. If you can, please tell me, so I can get rid of it. | |

The wolf laughed (if it could be called laughing), her tongue lolling out the side of her great jaws in a doglike fashion. Of course I’d be here! There’s food! Lots of it! And there are people to scare, places to haunt, and lots and lots of amazing smells! She leaned forward and playfully nipped at Anakin’s bum, prompting him to squeal like a pig and awkwardly climb around behind his master. Anakin wasn’t sure if he was too happy the wolf was back. She was weird, and she took too much pleasure in making his life miserable. He thought that Aaka should have some pity on him – after all, Sithie Walrus rehab had sucked pretty darn bad. Anakin had suffered enough, right? Wrong, Aaka said, though not intentionally answering Anakin’s unspoken question. She instead had meant to answer Obi-Wan’s. I had no idea you two nutters were here. This place attracts loons like rotting meat does flies, yes? I was really here for only the reasons I have already stated. Nevertheless, I’m glad to see you. |

Obi-Wan chuckled as Aaka nipped Anakin, he missed the wolf terribly. "Well, nonetheless I'm happy to see you, Aaka! I'm sure we'll have a great time here at DisneyWorld together, that is... if you want to want to. I hope you'll come with us, for at least today. I'd like to catch up with you." Obi-Wan turned to smirk at Anakin. Who else might they see here at DisneyWorld? The options were endless... what if they found Jalie, or James Bond, or that stupid priest? "Aaka, you haven't seen anyone else?" OOC: Might bring in Sheila soon. Edited by geoducky545, Mar 16 2009, 06:49 PM.

Of course I want to!the wolf replied, laughing again. I know all of the rides here, and the best places to buy churros. I don't buy them, obviously, but as Jedi I believe that you lot are obligated to. She paused for a moment to make hideous Quasimodo faces at people in other gondolas who were yelling incoherently about the "dog" in the park. Anakin scowled, and hastily tried to mime to the people that the dog was his and insane. The people did not look amused; in fact, they looked angry. One took out a cell phone, probably to contact security, but with a swift force manipulation Anakin sent it plopping into the water upon which the little boats floated. Turning back to Obi-Wan, Aaka continued, I have not seen anyone else that we know. However, I have reason to suspect some are in the city. She tried to look mysterious, and failed rather miserably, breaking into a stupid grin. |
