	Title: Little Blue Chip Genre: Humor Characters: Anakin Skywalker, Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda etc. Time Frame: Anakin's fifteen or sixteen Note: This is just a plot bunny that bit me a while back. It can almost be a prequal to my story Vader's iPod although that was not intentional, and it can certainly stand on it's own. This is just a one-shot right now, but if the plot bunnies keep biting, it could turn into more. I recently bought some bunny-be-gone so... well, let's just hope for the best! Comments are greatly appriciated! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “What is it?” Mace Windu asked after a moment, fingering a small blue chip in the palm of his dark hands. “I’ve never seen anything quite like it. Is it a data chip of some sort?” “I don’t know.” The clipped tones of Obi-Wan Kenobi echoed through the Council chambers. A slight frown of puzzlement crossed his features. If Mace Windu couldn’t figure out what Anakin’s newest ‘toy’ was, then there could be a slight problem. “I’ve had it all night.” Obi-Wan continued, drawing Mace’s eyes away from the clip. “It plays at least a hundred messages, but only about half of them are coherent, and probably another twenty percent sound like screaming.” “A distress call?” Master Adi Gallia guessed as Mace passed her small blue chip. She fingered the long white wire coming from the top. “Possibly,” Obi-Wan agreed with the slight tilt of his head. “However, something about it… mystifies me.” Yoda noticed his hesitation. “Please, Master Kenobi, continue you must. Or to the bottom of this, we will not get.” “Yes Master,” Obi-Wan took a deep breath to steady himself. Now for the shocker… “But you see, I cannot anticipate what it’s going to do next.” Twelve heads shot up in unison to look him in the eyes. “Are you certain?” Mace Windu asked carefully. Obi-Wan nodded. “The Force seems to abandon this object until the last possible split second, and by that time it’s too late to try and see what it’s going to do next. And, in addition to that, each time you turn it on, the messages are played in a different order. I sat up with it all night, thinking perhaps it was some sort of programming code, but each time the order is different. And, each time it is played, new messages seem to appear, as well as the old ones.” “Young Skywalker, made it, say you?” Yoda inquired, taking the chip. “No actually,” Obi-Wan admitted with a silent sigh of relief. “Anakin bought this one. He’s as mystified by it as I am—but it doesn’t seem to bother him. He likes the randomness and he likes not being able to sense it. In fact, several of the younglings and padawans seem to have these little devices lying around.” “What is it made of…?” Mace Windu wondered aloud. “I don’t know, but they are very protective of them, I can assure you.” Obi-Wan said, shaking his head at the memory of Anakin protecting the little blue chip. “My own apprentice claims he could not live without this one.” Mace looked somewhat concerned. “Is that exaggeration or truth?” “Exaggeration I am positive.” Obi-Wan answered quickly. “He only just bought this one a week ago.” “Other padawans, have these they do?” Yoda curiously inquired. “Yes and they take them everywhere!” A dry, exasperated chuckle escaped Master Kenobi’s lips. “They listen to the messages while they’re doing katas, during practice of any sort, during speeder rides, missions, while they are sleeping—it never leaves Anakin’s side. He just keeps it clipped to his belt, and the wires attached further up, by his head.” “How much do they cost?” “Only about fifty credits—but I’ve noticed that they are making bigger ones now. Ones with viewing screens that hold more than audio files.” “So let me get this straight,” Master Gallia smoothly cut in. “This… mystery chip holds hundreds of audio files, you cannot anticipate what order they will played in and they are played in a different order each time. In addition to that, every time you listen, there seem to be new messages, or messages that you somehow missed?” Obi-Wan nodded at the preposterousness of it all. “Yes, that is correct.” The Council members passed the chip to one another for a long time, examining it, listening to it and pushing the buttons. Mace had it for near an hour, quietly bobbing his head in his Council chair. Obi-Wan began to wonder what time it was—he had come to the Council mid morning, and now it was beginning to show the signs of dusk outside. Eventually Mace turned back to Obi-Wan. “It’s a cheap thrill, from what I can understand.” He said at length. “Padawans are finding these… amusing, because they cannot sense their intentions.” “I find them annoying and frustrating for that very same reason.” Obi-Wan nodded. “But they are harmless, I assure you.” Mace handed back the blue chip. “And they are for pure entertainment purposes as well. The messages are not distress calls.” “It sounds like a wookiee being tortured to me.” Adi Gallia said. “How can anyone be entertained by these?” “No, no, no, no…” Mace said. “I’ve seen these before. They’re all the rage on the Coruscant streets. That tortured wookiee you heard, Master Gallia, is what they call punk, heavy metal, Coruscanti rock.” He looked back in admiration at the little device. “Man, I might have to get me one of those.” Obi-Wan was shocked. “Me, as well.” Yoda agreed. “What call them, do you, Master Kenobi?” “Anakin called it an… Ipod Shuffle.” Obi-Wan answered. “Your apprentice may keep his toy.” Mace said quickly. “Meeting adjourned.” As soon as Obi-Wan exited the room, five of the Council members rose, Yoda and Mace included. “Let’s go buy us some Ipods—shall we?” Mace asked as they walked out of the room. As they jumped in a speeder and began whizzing to the nearest electronics shop, Yoda smiled. “Good taste in music, young Skywalker has.” Mace looked over at him. “Like, I do, this punk, heavy-metal, Coruscanti rock.” Mace nodded. “Oh yeah. Me too.” “Make them in green, do they?” Yoda inquired curiously. “Because, if they do, a green one, I shall buy.” “Oh yes, I’d love one in a nice shade of orange.” Another Councilor called from the back seat. “Purple for me.” Mace said contentedly. “Life is good.” -----signature----- I'm baaaack!

	Moulin Rouge! I'd load it up with that soundtrack! Okay, loved it! Obi-Wan nodded. “The Force seems to abandon this object until the last possible split second, and by that time it’s too late to try and see what it’s going to do next.
