Author's Note: Okay. *grinning*

So, me, I'm doing this Dooku 100 thing, you may have heard; I've whined about it extensively. But as such, I have all these short, absolutely ridiculous little humor ficlets with no home. A mess of them. A mess of humor ficlet. A...series, even. batting

These are all Pre-JA. As if there's any other genre. wink And um, all very silly, so you've been warned.

-----Laurie gets a big huge shiny star for thinking up the title for this saga. Don't you love her? grin I love that girl.


~*~

Candy Stick

~*~


“Did you want a buy a stick of candy for your kid?”

Dooku dropped the toy with a guilty clatter, and looked up blankly at the fuel station’s clerk. While waiting for his fuel purchase to be processed, the new Master had been perusing through a display selection of igniters on the counter, igniters that had been curiously fashioned to look like tiny lightsabers, painted silver, with the flame as the blade.

Really, Dooku did suppose that he ought to be properly offended that some company had reduced a weapon as elegant and noble as a lightsaber to a silly toy used to light smokesticks, but he couldn’t help examining them. (On a purely technical level, of course. He hadn’t been at all surprised to find that the store didn’t feature a curved hilt design.) Truly though, they were fascinating little things, and he had become deeply engrossed in clicking them on and off, when the clerk running his credit chip had posed his strange question.

“Ah,” Dooku wondered if he had missed some sort of context, but the young Bothan behind the counter was still staring at him expectantly, so he raised one eyebrow and murmured, “Come again?”

“You…” The clerk jerked his head at Dooku. “…want to buy some candy…” He tapped a clear jar of colorful sugar sticks. “…for your kid?” One hairy arm extended in a direction over Dooku’s shoulder.

Dooku turned to see where he was pointing, and found his new apprentice, Qui-Gon Jinn, poking tentatively through the periodical section of the store. He had skirted the porn, apparently, and now held some sort of glossy cover in hand. If Dooku squinted, he could read the title: Home, Starship and Garden. Dooku rolled his eyes and returned his attention to the waiting clerk. “Ooh, him!” He shook his head. “No, no, no, he isn’t my, ah, ‘kid’…as you say…”

“Right.” Shaking his long bangs out of his eyes, the clerk snorted, interrupting. “I’m sorry.” He sighed. “Well, he’s going to have to leave, then. We don’t allow street kids in here unsupervised…”

Dooku blinked. “He’s with me!”

“So, surprise, surprise, he is your kid then.” The clerk eyed him, beadily.

“No, he isn’t!” Dooku shook his head. “I mean, he’s with me, but he isn’t mine.”

“Whatever you say. I’m not a paternity lawyer.”

“We don’t even look alike!”

“All humans look alike.”

“We most certainly do not!” Dooku felt actually physically pained, by now.

The clerk gave him a long-suffering stare. The characteristic length of his Bothan face magnified the effect. “If you don’t want the candy, then you could just say so. You don’t have to make up elaborate lies.”

Now irritated, and thoroughly flustered, Dooku drummed his fingers. “No, I wasn’t…I’ll…stars, fine, give me the candy.” A stewing pause, as he stared at the little rack of tiny sabers again. “…and one of those igniter…things.”

The clerk finally moved, unscrewing the jar of candies with a vaguely satisfied look on his hairy face. “What color would you like?”

Dooku reached up to scratch at the phantom itch of his newly-removed Padawan braid. His fingers passed only through air, and startled, he drew his hand back. “Ah, one with a red flame, please.”

Another stare. “I meant for the candy.”

“Oh,” Dooku glanced back at Qui-Gon. “Perhaps green. Yes, green.”

The exchange went through; the young Master collected his candy, lighter, and receipt, and swept away before the clerk could see the brief color warm his pale cheeks. He let the door slam as he exited.

Stars, he was really going to make an impression on the galaxy as a Jedi Master, wasn’t he? Losing arguments with pushy refueling station attendants over pieces of candy! Well, perhaps it wasn’t his fault.

Not entirely.

A lot of it was more that the clerk had been unclear, than anything. Dooku hated it when beings were unclear. Yes, it had been mostly the clerk’s problem. He had done just fine.

His bad mood carrying him along, he slammed the speeder door closed, and gunned the engine.

…and, remembered his Padawan.

Now blushing furiously, Dooku cut the power, dashed back to the station, and yanked Qui-Gon out. The boy tottered along behind him, seeming quite happy to be found and dragged about by his new Master.

“You ought to really pay closer attention to your surroundings!” Dooku lectured, as they went. “I mean, are you a Jedi, or aren’t you?!”

“I’m sorry, Master!” Qui-Gon chirped, even as he almost tripped. “I was reading this article on carnivorous plants, and did you know that—”

“Qui-Gon, I don’t care!” Dooku barked, vaulting into the pilots chair, and effectively ending the conversation there.

“Oh. All right.” Meeker now, the boy climbed into the copilot’s position.

For a moment, they sat in awkward silence, as Dooku caught his breath and composure. “Oh,” he sighed, after a pause. “I got you something.”

“You…” Qui-Gon looked up at him, his smoky blue eyes all vulnerability. “…got me something? At the fuel center? Why?”

Dooku rolled his eyes, digging around in his robe pocket. He pulled out his igniter, frowned at it, and set it aside. “Why, indeed, Qui-Gon. Don’t get so excited, it’s just candy.” He finally found the little stick, and tossed it.

Qui-Gon caught it deftly, even as he stared at Dooku, eyes wide and bright, his voice soft, as if hardly daring to believe. “You bought me…candy?”

“Ah, yes.”

“…green candy?” Qui-Gon looked so unbelievably charmed by this, as he looked up into Dooku’s face with suddenly unwavering adoration. It was obvious whatever doubts he had had about his new teacher were utterly blown away by this singular act, leaving only the most absolute fondness to shine through. Dooku was glad for the arm rest between them; otherwise he would have felt in immediate danger of being hugged.

He wiggled, unnerved by the rush of affection. “Stars, it’s just candy! Eat it, already.”

“Thank you, Master.” Qui-Gon popped the end of the stick into his mouth obediently, around his smile. He stared at Dooku in happy wonder, as if he were truly seeing him for the first time.

Dooku shook his head. But he couldn’t entirely ignore the slight glow he felt, at seeing this little child…his little child so happy. And it was such a stupid thing. Such a stupid, little thing. He turned on the engine, and concentrated hard on not smiling.

“You’re welcome.”

Next one perhaps on Friday. happy

Awwwww! grin I absolutely loved it, Charmisjess! Your characterization of Dooku, the wacko clerk, Qui's adoring smile, Dooku's slight change of heart... *melts*

It was fun and touching at the same time. I love stories like that. happy And you have a great style. applause

I look forward to more! Could you PM me when you do post another one?

laugh That was just the thing to make a gloomy day brigher. Thanks, Jess!

I love the characterization of Dooku here. We don't get to see this younger, less un-perturbable version very often. His examining the igniters was particularly funny--oh, nope, look, they've done the hilt all wrong! laugh Beautiful.

And Qui-Gon, perfectly happy to be tugged about...what a picture.

Keep up the great work!

Aw, that was so cute love I really loved how Dooku interracted with the clerk. And the little igniters sounded cool cool

…and, remembered his Padawan.

Now blushing furiously, Dooku cut the power, dashed back to the station, and yanked Qui-Gon out. The boy tottered along behind him, seeming quite happy to be found and dragged about by his new Master.


Heh. Oops. Poor Dooku. This just isn't his day.

Dooku shook his head. But he couldn’t entirely ignore the slight glow he felt, at seeing this little child…his little child so happy. And it was such a stupid thing. Such a stupid, little thing. He turned on the engine, and concentrated hard on not smiling.

Aww, cute. Wonderful, as always CharmisJess applause Eagerly awaiting the next one!

*pats Dooku and Qui-Gon* Off to a slightly rocky start... but sugar makes it all better, at least for the moment. Dooku's way too much fun when he's off balance a bit.

I love that you made the "Candy Stick" of the title green.

Dooku buys Qui-Gon...candy...green candy. <snicker> And Qui-Gon was so charmed by it, he didn't even notice that his master almost forgot to get him. Yes, Dooku has much to learn about being a master, but I'm sure he iron the rough edges out with his usual style. And what is he going to do with the red-flame lighter?

*g* Sorry, I didn't mean to vanish from the fandom. I've had a weird couple of weeks. My Dooku characterization and I have been fighting. He left, and took Qui-Gon. I'm sueing him for custody.

It is Friday, though. grin

--
Laurie: It's their first mission. *g* The candy is a big deal.

Kynstar: Yes, inadvertant spoils. grin Dooku's an awkward young thing. *pokes him*

Nienna: Ahhh, thank you, my lovely! batting Consider yourself PM listed. Yes, I try to keep a little balance with the cute silliness/touching, and then trying to keep some bit of characterization, in spite of the fact that it's a humor fic. I don't know how well it always comes out, but I'm really happy you liked it. happy

Fluff-Slayer: Hee. Yes, I think Dooku has a little tiny bit of a fascination with shiny, interesting things. At first its just little amusing things, lightsabers, and then as he gets older, it's things like....sailships...castles...Chancellor Palpy... batting

micky-nikki: grin Thanks! No, it isn't. Poor Dooku.

Persephone_Kore: How could I not? And good point. Sugar does make everything better. happy

ardavenport: I'm afraid I haven't any idea what he's going to do with the thing. Not sure he does, either, actually. wink Maybe light some fires. You know how Dooku does... grin Thank you for reading, and for the review! grin

"How long have you not had boots?" Dooku asked, looking uncharacteristically bewildered as he studied his Padawan's bare feet.

Qui-Gon was blushing very evenly by this point, wiggling his toes anxiously into the weave of the carpet. "Erm, do you remember a few nights ago, when I was in the sublevels with Tahl...?"

"Yes."

"Since then."

Dooku shook his head slowly. "It seems...odd to me that you would have only had two pairs to begin with..." He exhaled through his nose in exasperation. "Dare I ask what happened to the final pair while you were down there?"

"Er, well, they pinched my feet, so I threw them away..." Qui-Gon looked down sheepishly, and then remembering his Jedi training, forced his gaze to meet his Master's. "...we had to run, and they were slowing me down. I forgot that they were my only pair..."

Dooku was giving him a particularly stern stare.

Qui-Gon squeaked. "But, they never really fit to begin with so-"

His Master's voice sounded strained. "You are the limit, Qui-Gon Jinn, did you know that?"

Qui-Gon nodded shamefully. "Yes, I know. I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you. We haven't really gone any where lately, so it hasn't been an issue, and I don't mind going barefoot..."

“No.” Dooku blinked, and then jerked toward the door. "Well, I suppose you’d better come along now.” The Master considered. “Have I ever taken you for new clothing?"

The Padawan shook his head meekly, trailing after Dooku. "I don't think so...I’ve gone with Tahl once or twice…"

"No wonder you look so drab all the time, Padawan, why didn't you ever say anything?" Dooku despaired, weaving them a path through the marbled halls of the Temple. He stopped at the main vertical turbolift, jammed his thumb down on the 'call' button, and resumed his mini-lecture. "I mean, honestly, I wouldn't have been upset, strange child...and now what must the other Masters think of me, letting you wandering around like..." he gestured toward the bare feet hopelessly, "...like that!"

Qui-Gon shrugged. "It wasn't ever much of a problem. Clothing isn't that important..."

"Please hush, your attempts to downplay this situation are only making me feel worse." He stepped inside the turbo lift, and Qui-Gon followed. They lift gave a slight jerk, and they rocketed downward toward the Seamsmaster. Dooku regarded the shuddering ceiling with some disapproval, and Qui-Gon mentally added turbolifts to the broad list of things his Master seemed vaguely suspicious of.

The door finally hissed open, after what seemed like longer than a turbolift would usually take. He seldom went down to the Supply levels of the Temple, as Master Dooku usually got their supplies for them. He couldn't help but glance around eagerly at all the comings and goings on here. It was a hub of activity this time of day, with various Jedi and their apprentices securing whatever utilities they needed from the various stations. Dooku passed them all, heading to a different wing of the level altogether.

There was only one man solely in control of all of the Temple's traditional robes and tunics, and he mastered his dominion with the airs of a god. Grinn Tripspor had acquired what could almost be described as an army of sewing and seamstress driods, and in the years he reigned he had completely converted a wing of the supply level to his art. Out of almost thee thousand Jedi Knights in service, he managed to somehow keep all of them outfitted with his robes and tunics, taking individual orders and special requests on sizing and fabric types.

The man himself, while an organizational marvel, was nothing particularly to look at. He was tall and boney, with little muscle and a papery, off-white skin. Immediately Qui-Gon spied him, buzzing around some driods, rapping out orders, his thinning ponytail of red hair twitching in his wake.

As he turned to steady a box from overturning, he caught sight of them. His eyes brightened with frenzied intensity and he quickly limped his way over. "Dooku! Jinn!" He called merrily. "Ah, once again you return to the depths of the Temple to make use of my most excellent services, yes, yes, very good to see you both…” He opened his arms, as if to embrace them, despite the distance. “And my lad Dooku, how are those maroon robes working out? An extraordinary color on you, aren’t they, bringing out the lovely warm highlights of your eyes and improving on that ghastly complexion…"

"Batty, absolutely batty, this is we never come down here..." Dooku's low voice murmured in Qui-Gon’s ear, before his Master swept forward to meet the Seamsmaster, chuckling awkwardly, as if he didn't understand what Grinn was talking about. "Heh…good afternoon to you, Grinn. Yes, we do indeed have need of your, erm, services, as you say..." He nodded toward Qui-Gon. "They grow so quickly..."

Grinn smiled fondly at Qui-Gon, although he had only met him a few times. "Yes, yes, he has grown, he truly has..." For a moment, he seemed almost moved to tears, though it was likely he had seen at least five Padawans Qui-Gon's age that day, and said the exact same thing about each of them. "...dear, dearest me, he'll be a Knight soon, all grown to a man and saving the galaxy, yes, they do grow up so quickly, why, I can remember when---"

Dooku cleared his throat politely, cutting him off. "Yes, he was an adorable child. Now we're going to need quite a lot of things, so if you would be so kind--"

Immediately, an old-fashioned tape measure zoomed at Qui-Gon. The boy gave a little start and ducked, before realizing that Grinn was using the force to move the measuring device, taking down his size. Grinn nodded as it went, taking down notes on a datapad fondly. "Yes, yes, of course, as I suspected, mm, mmhm, yes..." he jolted down another notation, and then leveled a sudden accusatory glare at Qui-Gon. "Wait a moment. Where are your boots, child?"

Qui-Gon flushed and looked down at his bare toes, which the whizzing tape was currently measuring the span of. "I-uh-lost them..."

The stony glare turned on Dooku. "He’s lost...all of them?"

Dooku sighed, rubbing his temples. "He's somewhat hard on clothes."

Grinn's eyes narrowed with passion, and he turned abruptly to a stack of boxes, studying the labels. "My clothing is built to last years, wars, and lightsabers!"

"Your clothes have not met Qui-Gon Jinn, apparently."

Grinn gave a short, entirely grim laugh, as if he wanted to bet Dooku differently, and he made his selection from the boxes with a little wave of the force. A box skidded out and fell open, revealing boots. "This should be the size."

"Just some tunics and we ought to be set to go, I believe..." Dooku murmured hopefully, selecting a few pairs of high brown boots.

Grinn again consulted the walls of boxes that the driods were stacking. "Color preference?"

"Wait." Qui-Gon spoked up, peering around from behind Dooku. "There are other colors available besides off-white? You mean that we've always had a color choice?" Qui-Gon glanced over at Dooku. "I could even have them in…say, black?"

Dooku frowned. "Absolutely not, I'm having you following me around dressed like some sort of Sith clown, Qui-Gon."

"You wear black all the time." The boy observed, giving his Master a sulky stare.

"That's because it looks good on me." Dooku shrugged nonchalantly.

“Now, Dooku, I must really contradict. I think we’ve had this conversation before…” Grinn began, stepping forward with a kindly lecturing tone. “With your pale complexion you really ought not to wear…”

"How about a lovely tan color?!" Dooku hissed, over Grinn’s voice.

"How about green?" Qui-Gon asked.

Grinn hopped forward again, looking excited. “Dark blue would really emphasize the lad’s beautiful eyes…”

Dooku gave a pained choked, and suggested, “Cream-colored?”

"Sage green?"

"People will mistake you for a tree. Cream-colored."

"Cream overtunic with a black shirt underneath?"

"You'll swelter, should we go to a warm planet. Cream, or light brown, Qui-Gon."

Qui-Gon sighed. "Light brown. Brown boots, brown pants, light brown tunics, I thought you said that I shouldn't look drab..."

Dooku smirked and turned to Grinn. "If we could please get some light brown tunics..." he rolled his eyes. "..and I suppose some 'sage' green undershorts as well.." he sighed, turning back to Qui-Gon, "...do I humor you, or do I humor you?"

He had humored him. Surprised that his Master had caved even in the slightest, Qui-Gon immediately tried to press his luck. Dooku seemed to be in a strange, hasty mood, and perhaps he’d give in a little more... He attempted a bit of a whine. “Just the shorts?”

“Only the shorts.” Dooku answered shortly, taking a folded tunic from Grinn.

Qui-Gon grinned, distinctively impish. “I may have to wear the shorts and only the shorts around our quarters, then…”

“I may have to kill you in your sleep, then…” Dooku mimicked his tone.

Grinn was reluctantly holding onto the box of shorts, looking between the Master and Padawan with unease. "You know, Dooku, the lad may be right. He would look nice in a soft green..."

"--Yet I like him best in the traditional light brown." Dooku tried to take the box. A brief tug-of-war ensued.

"But you don't know anything about color schemes, as evidenced by your terrible selection!" Grinn quite nearly wailed, clinging on.

"I don't bloody care, Grinn!" In the end, Dooku was stronger, but the Seammaster put up a good fight. When the lighter man released the box, Dooku was almost sent sprawling.

Qui-Gon curled his toes and tried very, very hard not to laugh.

"You should care! And you will the next time you require my advice, and I shall not be here to give it!" Grinn declared, face flushed with the struggle, his ponytail spasming with motion. "Now take your clashing colors and go!"

"Charmed." Dooku scooted away, his arms crammed with tunics and the box of undershorts. "Sharp's the word now, Qui-Gon, how many pairs do you need?" He asked Qui-Gon, glancing over his shoulder at the steamed Grinn, as if afraid the other Master was going to charge.

"Ah..." Qui-Gon peered into the box, going slightly red. "...maybe we should just take the box."

Dooku quickened his pace. "What?"

"I need...a lot."

"Please tell me you have more undergarments than you had boots."

Qui-Gon gulped. "Ah..."

Dooku came to a complete stop, mid-escape. "You're revolting. Utterly revolting." The Master actually shuddered. "And if there's a story to how you lost them, I don't want to hear it." He hesitated. "You are..." His voice dried up, he coughed, and started again. "I mean, you are wearing something now, aren't you?!"

"Oh, of course. Well, somewhat."

"...somewhat?"

Qui-Gon colored. "I just borrowed a pair of yours."

Dooku's voice acquired a slight waver. "You are...wearing my..." He closed his eyes, choking softly. "Stars,...I...stars!"

"But I didn't have any!" Qui-Gon appealed, with a slight whimper. "Would you rather me go without?"

"You are indecent!"

"Yes, Master."

"And thieving!"

"Yes, Master."

"And we need to have another talk about Master/Padawan boundaries!" Dooku finished, lurching forward again.

Qui-Gon followed in the Master's wake, a trifle glumly. "If it bothers you so intensely, I'll trade the pair I'm wearing for one of my new green ones. I don't mind, these are nice."

"They are nice because they are mine, and I take care of my things, Qui-Gon." Dooku gritted out. "Also, yours would not fit, and I do not care for green."

"They would fit, yours fit me fine."

"They do not."

"Yes, they do. I think we're the same size waist measurement..."

"We most certainly are not. And if I ever catch you going through my things again, there shall be trouble. A lot of trouble."

"I didn't go through your things, they were in the laundry..."

"I don't care. This conversation is over."

"Yes, Master."

The doors of the clothing area swooshed closed behind them. Grinn Tripsor was left alone with his beloved droids, to shake his head, scandalized.

--end--



I don't want to give a date for the next one, because I never keep the dates I give, but I have it written, I just need to proof it. So soon. happy I hope.

..Wait till they meet Obi-wan Kenobi laugh I smell a drabble!


"You wear black all the time." The boy observed, giving his Master a sulky stare.

"That's because it looks good on me." Dooku shrugged nonchalantly.


What a prima-donna! He's such a prissy man.


Qui-Gon colored. "I just borrowed a pair of yours."

Dooku's voice acquired a slight waver. "You are...wearing my..." He closed his eyes, choking softly. "Stars,...I...stars!"


*dies laughing*

I love this. That Qui-Gon would steal some of Dooku's underwear and it wasn't clean either since it was in the laundry. Didn't Dooku notice the smell? If Qui hasn't had many clothes, he must be rather ripe. And losing the boots. You are hilarious. I love the dynamics of the pair.

I just hope Qui-Gon gets those green tunics eventually! laugh

Dooku regarded the shuddering ceiling with some disapproval, and Qui-Gon mentally added turbolifts to the broad list of things his Master seemed vaguely suspicious of.

laugh You know, I copied this line as I was reading, thinking it absolutely hilarious, but then I found so many more that trump it... grin I thought I was going to die laughing.

I loved this, Charmisjess! love I can feel the relationship between Qui and Dooku; it has a very genuine quality to it...even if it is slightly absurd. tongue But that's what I love about these stories.

And Grinn... Put simply, Grinn made me grin. *blinks as everyone groans* What? tongue

Lovely work! applause

Such a wonderful story to come home to after two days of wedding stuff happy

This was so funny! My favorite parts:

Dooku smirked and turned to Grinn. "If we could please get some light brown tunics..." he rolled his eyes. "..and I suppose some 'sage' green undershorts as well.." he sighed, turning back to Qui-Gon, "...do I humor you, or do I humor you?"


Qui-Gon grinned, distinctively impish. “I may have to wear the shorts and only the shorts around our quarters, then…”

“I may have to kill you in your sleep, then…” Dooku mimicked his tone.



You are indecent!"

"Yes, Master."

"And thieving!"

"Yes, Master."

"And we need to have another talk about Master/Padawan boundaries!" Dooku finished, lurching forward again.


Grinn was a neat little OC. Kinda talkitive(sp?) and chipper. I like him happy
