Jedi_Liz: *laughs* Well, you're supposed to tell me what they are! Silly Liz. happy But I'm sure you caught them. Here, have some yummy baklava. And thanks!

Rivad: Howdy, Rivad! [face_cheerful] Glad you liked it! And since you caught them all so quickly too (I saw that post before you edited it!), you can have baklava too. grin

Emmi: *groans* You're not supposed to skip lunch, Emmi! You need to eat! *sighs* But I have had similar days, where the food just isn't as important as the sanity. So pleased you liked it, dearest. happy

maramijade: Good job! I'm actually flattered you didn't catch the borrowed time right away -- that's exactly what I was going for. wink Thanks for reading!

zeekveerko: Excellent!

i've seen this challenge at fanfix.com, but haven't gotten to trying it yet.

That's the one. I'd have submitted it to fanfix already, but I'm still struggling with the formatting. Either my computer hates me, or I'm hopelessly technologically illiterate. They're equally possible. Glad you liked it, though! happy

Inez: Thank you so much, Inez! Here, have some baklava anyway. happy

crystalrain: Gabri continues to help me get over my phobia of L/M fics.

That's what I'm here for. wink Don't worry, you'll find more you like. grin

Oba: Thank you, O Queen of Vignettes!

Astro: Thanks! grin

RebelMom: Thank you, Mom! Here, you can have some baklava too. Oh, I give up. Baklava for everyone! grin

JainaDurron: Thank you, Jilly! Have some baklava. wink

LadyPadme: That particular bunny nipped a long time ago. I wanted to post it at fanfix first, since it was their challenge that inspired it; but as I mentioned, the formatting eludes me. I'll figure it out one of these days, and it'll be one of those ridiculously obvious things that makes you feel really stupid for not catching it earlier...

And I love how Luke worried that too much cuteness would turn his wife to the Dark Side! LOL!!!

*laughs*
Well, if anything would turn Mara, I really think it'd be something like cute, fuzzy Ewoks that'd do it.

Eowyn_Jade: Thanks!

I love to read about the newly wed Skywalkers

Me too. happy

Daughter_of_Yubyub: They are pretty cute, aren't they? I especially liked the one that Artoo was chasing around.

Jedi-2B: That means a lot coming from an author as talented as yourself. Thank you very much! grin


Thanks for all the wonderful responses, everyone!

~Gabri

Why thank you Gabri!

Rivad pulls out dictionary and looks up baklava.

ba·kla·va (plural ba·kla·vas) noun

rich pastry: a dessert, originally from Turkey, made of paper-thin pastry brushed with butter, layered with nuts and baked, with syrup or honey poured over it after cooking.
[Mid-17th century. From Turkish.]

Oooo!!!! Yummie!! Thanks Gabri! Now I've learned something new for the day! grin

Yeah, I posted the answers, then realised others might want to figure it out on their own; so I decided not to ruin anyone else's fun, and I edited them out.

Keep up the good work!

Rivad looks around then slips a few more wild attack plot bunnies out of their cages to chase after Gabri...

Hehehe! grin

You're quite welcome, Rivad. Yes, baklava is extremely yummy. happy Another new fact for you: the paper-thin pastry used in baklava is called phyllo.

*glances around nervously* Do they have to be wild attack plot bunnies? wink

*Emmi throws up shield*

I've already loaned her some of my semi-tamed, cageable bunnies. I keep them locked up to play with in my spare time. Don't let the wild ones hurt her!

Thanks for the word Gabri!

Rivad writes phyllo in his book of new words.

I always try to learn something new every day, especially new words!

But Emmi the wild attack plot bunnies are guaranteed to produce lots of fine action, romance, and all around Luke/Mara goodness... at least that's what it said on the directions...

Rivad checks packaging on plot bunnies he released...

Oh dear! It seems that was only the first box! The second box was different! I've released Sonny and Cher plot bunnies to attack Gabri! NOOOOO!!!! shock

Emmi: *ducks behind shield and hugs Emmi* Thanks, dearest. happy

Rivad: Here's one of my favorite words for you: terpsichorean.

Oh, my stars....Luke and Mara meet Sonny and Cher. What an image... *shivers*

Freakin hilarious. I can just imagine how volatile Mara was in the first year of her and Luke's marriage.

That whole post was totally Mara! There are far too many good lines to quote, but all of Mara's dailogue was soo hilarious! This was a brilliant piece of work--sweet, funny, and NOT STUPID! (thank the Force) I hate stupid viggies that are supposed to be humour. *ahem* Anyway...wonderful! grin

ZaraValinor: *grins* Yes, I imagine Mara had her moments. Old habits die hard, right? Thanks! happy

Bellyup: Thank you so much! grin I'm so very glad it wasn't stupid. tongue I do know what you mean there. I've read plenty of those myself. It's good to know that this one doesn't qualify. wink

I don't usually go for stories featuring Mara (see sig. Luke's MINE!) but this was hilarious! tongue

And I got all the points I think, but then I'm majorly late for the baklava.
