    Okay, I am bored to death here at work, and forgot my disk to post the last part of my "Journey Beyond Loss" story from here..SOOOOOOOOOO..thought, in the spirit of the holidays I would my holiday story from last year. Some of you I am sure have all ready read it. Enjoy!


    TITLE: Please Hold
    AUTHOR: Obi the Kid (hlnkid@aol.com)
    RATING: PG
    SUMMARY: Pre-TPM, non-slash. (Obi is 13). Qui tries to get a hold of a
    particular toy for his apprentice.
    ARCHIVE: Please ask me first.
    FEEDBACK: Always in need of that.

    SPECIAL THANKS: Go to Headless Qui himself, thanks for all the laughs. I know
    he has a good home now.

    ===========
    Please Hold
    ===========

    (Obi-Wan Kenobi stood and stared at his Master, his pleading eyes boring into
    Qui-Gon's soul.)

    Obi: Please Master? That is the only thing I want for the Festive Winter
    Holiday. I don't want anything else. Pleeeeeeeeeeeease? Everyone is gonna
    have one except for me. Master?

    Qui: Okay Obi-Wan, just stop the begging. I will get you a Chobi doll for the
    holiday. I don't know why this doll is such a big deal.

    Obi: First of all Master, it is not a doll. It is an action figure. A Chobi
    action figure. It is NOT a doll. I would not be caught dead with a doll.
    Action figure.

    Qui: Whatever it is...what is it?

    Obi: It is the greatest toy Master. It's the body of a chicken and the head
    of a padawan. Comes with a braid too. But, that's not all. You can buy
    interchangeable heads for it. I could put your head on it, or Master Yoda's
    or even the head of a Hutt. They are all sold separately of course.

    Qui: Of course. So we Masters can spend every last credit we have on this
    Holiday. It's all become way to commercialized for me. But, I will try and
    find this doll for you.

    Obi: There is no try Master. Do, or do not. And it is NOT a doll.

    ==========

    (Qui-Gon located the communications channel that was being used to order the
    Chobi Dolls, and proceeded to punch it up. The first thing he heard was a
    recorded woman's voice.)

    R: Thank You for calling Chobi Incorporated. Your call is very important to
    us. All of our customer representatives are currently busy, please hold and
    your call will be answered in turn.

    Qui: Oh great...they put me on hold. And with this crappy turbo lift music
    too. Come on...hurry up.

    (Obi-Wan wanders into the room.)

    Obi: Master did you get me a Chobi yet?

    Qui: I'm on hold right now. So don't bother me. (He is interrupted by the
    recorded voice again.)

    R: We appreciate you continuing to hold. Please be aware that your call is
    important to us and that someone will be with you shortly.

    Qui: Your call is important to us...yeah...you say that to everyone.

    Obi: Are you talking to someone now Master?

    Qui: No, it's just a recording.


    Obi: Oh...okay. Why are you talking to a recording? Does it talk back?

    Qui: Obi-Wan, if you want this doll, let me handle this.

    Obi: Please don't call it a doll Master. I cannot have my friends thinking
    that I play with dolls.

    Qui: Sorry...Action figure. There. Better?

    Obi: Yes. Thank you. Did they answer yet? (An evil glare from Jinn succeeds
    in shutting the boy up...for now.)

    R: We apologize for your inconvenience while you continue to hold. Due to
    overwhelming demand, our customer representatives are working to handle a
    high volume of cal

    LOL [face_laugh] LOL

    Oh that was good Obi the Kid. Really good. And you know the best part? It was an extra post. :D

    Hope you're having a better day today. You really are one of my favorite writers.

    <Obi-Wan walks in>
    Obi: You're just sucking up to get more stories.

    Me: No I'm not. I really like her.

    Obi: Yes you are. You're just hoping that she'll write something where I get hurt and tortured and Qui-Gon has to find me and then everyone gets mad at him and starts beating him up. Well I'm not going to let you beat on my Master. <pulls out his lightsaber and starts running after Swede>

    Me: Hey! Hey! Wait. <Obi stops> First of all, Obi the Kid doesn't write those kind of stories. Not one's where you get hurt anyway. She writes the funny ones or the really sweet one. Second, what are you complaning about? You're not the one us fans are trying to kill. It's Qui. And that's only when he's being an idiot.

    <Qui-Gon's voice from off ahhh, where ever he is> I am NOT an idiot. I just don't always notice things about my Padawan like I should.

    Me: Oh, sorry. Fine, Qui-Gon's a thickheaded, blind old man that should give more mush to Obi 'cause he's a little cute.

    Obi: You hear that Master! She said more mush! So there!

    <Qui-Gon just groans> I'm leaving before any mobs show up. <Qui-Gon leaves>

    <Swede shrugs> Hey, I'm not mad at him right now. RRK's story is almost done. Anyway, we we're talking about Obi the Kid.

    Obi: Oh yeah. Well, you did say that she's usually nice to me, I'll leave you alone.

    Me: Good. Because she hasn't killed you or anything.

    <Obi glares at Swede> No, that was you.

    Me: Ahhh.... I have to go now. <Swede starts running>

    Obi: Oh, no you don't. <turns on lightsaber again and chase after> Get back here! You can't kill me AND my Master and get away with it.

    Me: Oh yeah! Watch me! <Looks to Obi the Kid> Hey, great story again. Gotta run. <dodges Obi-Wan's blade> Hey! Watch it! That thing can be dangerous!

    Obi: Duh.

    <Swede runs yelling off the screen with Obi chasing close after>

    (Sorry about that. Really did like the post. :D )
