"The Mission" ~ Humor

A/N: I'm extremely bored and a bit hungry. What do you get when you mix the two? This little vig that's hopefully entertaining.
Anakin crept stealthily along the hallway, palms pressed to the wall. Everything around him was deathly silent.
Good.
Inching his way around the corner, he stopped, held his breath as someone walked by.
I can’t let anyone see me….
If he had been a boy of twelve, such a mission would have been easier to pull off. However, as a man of twenty years, his broad form made things a little more difficult.
Obi-Wan would have come with him—he really would have. However, he had faith in his apprentice, and told him to go alone this once. He was waiting though, just outside, to the left and around a few corners. When they rendezvoused, they would return to the quarters they were currently sharing.
Anakin’s breath caught as another figure’s shadow flitted down the hall. “Come on…” he muttered softly to himself. “Just hurry up…”
His fingers reached briefly for the lightsaber that should have been hanging on his belt… but there was no lightsaber there. Must have left it behind when I changed clothes…
There was still hope though, even without the weapon—those it was foolish to walk anywhere without it. Obi-Wan had said he wouldn’t need—shouldn’t need—any sort of weapon for this mission. It was supposed to be quick, quiet, and… not on record.
Finally, the figure moved and Anakin crept towards the door as quickly as he could. His bare feet brushed against the floor softly—but even such a quiet movement was deafening in the still atmosphere.
Taking care to avoid the eyes of anything—or anyone—lurking nearby, Anakin somersaulted into the room. A moment later, he rose, pressing himself firmly up against the wall once again.
He noted a camera in the corner. So, they’ve brought security up a notch… interesting… He would have to stay out of it’s range.
Blue eyes swept the room carefully. There were more cabinets—more hiding places—than he remembered. Everything was pristine white. The doors, the floor—everything was completely clean except… Anakin knelt down to examine the small, black spot on the floor.
Someone’s been here…
There, across the room, sitting inconspicuously in the corner was a small, brown box. His master had said it would be in there. Carefully, Anakin lifted the lid.
Nothing.
He let out a breath he didn’t realize he had been holding. No matter. It would just make things more… interesting.
Anakin made haste as he opened each box and cabinet in the room. This wasn’t like other missions where the object he was looking for had some sort of a feeling in the Force. No this object—or this time, objects—was dead to the Force. Therefore, he had to resort to more primitive measures.
His face lit up in a smile when he found the objects of his desire. With abandon he stuck ten, gold discs into a bag in his hands. “Master will be pleased.”
He then noticed he was in direct view of the security camera.
Biting back a curse he started to make his way out of the room, tripping over his own feet as he tried to get to the door. He stopped dead in his tracks when a silhouette appeared at the doorframe.
Anakin hid the bag behind his back as best as he could. The being stepped into the room and glared at him with hard, cold, unforgiving eyes. Okay, so Master will not be pleased. I am so busted…
“Padawan Skywalker,” Mace Windu shook his head as he walked into the room.
“I can explain.” Anakin said, taking a step back.
“How many times have I told you… I mean, I would have expected this kind of behavior from one of the younglings but not from—“
“Obi-Wan made me!” Anakin said, unconsciously bringing the bag from behind his back.
“You took ten?” Mace demanded.
“Maybe…”
Mace shook his head. “Really, for a padawan of your age and maturity, I would have expected more.”
Anakin’s eyes were downcast. “Sorry Master.”
“I mean really,” Mace continued, pacing around the room. “Stealing cookies is really not becoming of a twenty year old man!”
Anakin stuffed one of the cookies in his mouth as Mace was pacing.
“What do you have to say for yourself?” He paused, putting his hands on his hips.
“Mafter wanted fum?” Anakin managed as crumbs fell down his chin.
Mace took the bag from Anakin. “Go to bed. And don’t let me catch you doing this again.”
“Yes Master.” Anakin walked out of the room.
“What is wrong with him?” Mace wondered softly aloud as he went to put the cookies back into their proper box.
He stopped. “Then again…” he looked longingly at the bag. “Just one wouldn’t hurt.” He snatched a cookie and looked around to make sure no one was looking before shoving it into his mouth in one bite.
“I need more cameras.” Mace muttered to himself. “Either that or I have to teach him a lesson. No one messes with my private stash.”

 Opps, guess Obi-Wan isn't going to have any yummy cookies. Sucks when your padawan is such a failure.
Aww, this was so cute.

Shame, shame.

That's the line that really got me. Anakin's just a kid at heart, ain't he?
Awesome!

A long time ago in a house far away, there was a mother who was strong in the ways of the Force.
She "forced" her sons to clean their room, she "forced" her sons to behave.
- Part of a story written by my 9 yr. old sons I found while cleaning their desks
