Before - Legends "Master, I passed out." - OC Vignette

Title: "Master, I passed out."
Author(s): DarthBerryStraw
Characters: OC Master-Padawan team - Lomina and Atril
Genre: Humor
Notes: I consider this a companion piece to Smothering, in which you all have to deal with the perpetually whining Atril.

***

?It burns with the white hot intensity of one thousand suns!?

Lomina slid from underneath their leased land speeder, a mixture of sand and gravel clinging to her back.

?How lovely, and terribly cliché.?

The Jedi Master sat up and held a hand out, and Atril pulled her to her feet. Lomina brushed the eroded rock particles from her tunic and placed her hands on her hips, lips pressed firmly together. They were peeling and chapped, but the dry heat of this region was easier to deal with than the humidity of the previous one.

?It seems we may be stuck here awhile, Padawan.?

She sighed. If Atril had learned one thing about her master over the years, it was her facial expressions. As long as her eyebrow was raised in amusement or even annoyance, Atril knew everything would turn out fine.

This time, Lomina?s eyebrow wasn?t raised.

?Are we going to die of dehydration??

?Not yet, Atril. Not yet.?

The black haired girl felt her breath quicken, and she desperately tried to gain control of herself. Atril felt her blood rush to her face, and soon began to feel lightheaded. She raised a hand to her forehead, while she began to sway back and forth on the balls of her feet.

With a swift motion, Lomina caught her Padawan before she could hit the ground. The dead weight in her arms struck her off guard; she had expected Atril to weigh little more than she had several years ago. Little did she know Atril had grown quite a bit since she last held her.

The master began to drag her Padawan roughly towards the shade of the speeder. Though it was a fairly short distance, Lomina stumbled and stripped. She was the prime example of Jedi grace when she was feeling frustrated. A cloud of dust surrounded the team, who were in a rather compromising position.

Atril came to, but kept her eyes squeezed shut.

?Master, I passed out.?

Lomina was breathing heavily, trying to regain the air that was knocked out of her lungs.

?I believe you did, Padawan.?

?Why can?t I breathe? Is there a kriffing bantha on top of me??

Lomina, though a Jedi master, was still a woman. She felt the heat rise to her face in embarrassment, and quickly scrambled to a standing position.

?Watch your language,? she snapped.

?Whatever,? her Padawan replied, still sprawled on the desert floor. ?I learned it from you.?

Several moments passed before Atril moaned and rolled over onto her stomach. She propped her chin up on her elbows and stared over at her master. Lomina was examining her physique, or, in Atril?s mind, ?Seeing how large her butt had grown over the past few years.?

?Master,? she sighed. ?You?re not fat.?

?I?m perfectly aware of the fact, my dear Atril, but one has to wonder when her Padawan starts referring to her as a bantha.?

?I only meant that your crushing weight felt like a bantha on my lungs!? She cried in a semi-innocent manner.

?Crushing weight?? Lomina turned around and grabbed Atril?s arm, yanking the disrespectful Padawan to her feet.

?Ow!? Atril shouted, rubbing her wrist. ?Padawan abuse! Stang, was that really necessarily??

?Yes it was necessary, and again, watch your language!?

Atril shrugged. ?I learned that one from you, too.?

?You know perfectly well that I do not swear, Padawan.?

?You do when you think I can?t hear you!?

Lomina?s face was already as red as the distant suns, ?Padawan, get into the back of the landspeeder. Now.?

The Padawan kicked a rock with the toe of her boot, forgetting they weren?t durasteel toed. ?SHAVIT!?

She limped to the door of the speeder, plopped in and harshly slammed it shut.

Lomina returned to her mechanic duties underneath the vehicle

 

"It burns with the white hot intensity of one thousand suns!"

That just means it's getting better.


"Are we going to die of dehydration?"

"Not yet, Atril. Not yet."

Ah, so later's good for you then?


"You know perfectly well that I do not swear, Padawan."

Yeah, riiiiight. Party of two for the BS line please.


"I suppose you claim to have learned 'shavit' from me as well?"

"You've taught me everything I know, Master."

ROTFLOL!! That is a bad padawan.


And this was an enjoyable viggie. Well done!

 

Several basic hours later, the Master-Padawan team was still stuck on the side of the same desert road. Lomina crawled out from underneath the speeder once more, looking terribly disheveled yet satisfied. Her hair was sticking up in odd places, her face smeared with grease, and there were small tears on the sleeves of her tunic.

Immediately, Lomina launched into a tangent of mechanical babble that rushed over her Padawan?s head like a sand storm.

Atril?s stepped out of the speeder. ?In basic, please??

Lomina grinned. ?I?m afraid the only language you speak is ?vulgar?, Padawan.?

Atril scowled, but underneath the glare there was a slight twinge of regret. ?I apologize for being the worst Padawan in history.?

Lomina drew her into a hug. ?Apology accepted, my overdramatic Padawan, with one correction.?

Atril pulled away from her Master, eyes curious. ?And what is that??

?You?re not the worst Padawan in history,? Lomina?s eyebrow raised. ?Only the worst this century.?





Awww, that was so mushy and sweet! Loved their banter Just what I needed this morning to get me going

 

hehe that was cute

 

I loved the banter between these two.

 

The Padawan kicked a rock with the toe of her boot, forgetting they weren?t durasteel toed. ?SHAVIT!?

She limped to the door of the speeder, plopped in and harshly slammed it shut.

Lomina returned to her mechanic duties underneath the vehicle, ?I suppose you claim to have learned ?shavit? from me as well??

?You?ve taught me everything I know, Master.?

This was an awesome viggie. I really love your OC's and the quick, fresh feel to their banter. They seem like the kind of people you wish you could follow around with a video camera. Life is never boring for them.

 

I really liked that! Their bantering reminds me of this team I envisioned a few years ago, but your writing skills are far better then mine were. Write more for them, please!

BrentusofGath: Party of two for the BS line is right.

Jinngerbread: Aw, I'm happy you enjoyed it! Thanks!

JediKaren: I'm glad you thought so!

Alexis_Wingstar: I really love writing Lomina and Atril banter. I find myself giggling the whole way through. Thanks for reviewing!

Nienna_Narmolanya: Now that I think about it, they do seem like that type, don't they? You've given me a great bunny! Someday, I'll write it.

silverfighter: You don't have to worry, I'll DEFINITELY be writing more of Atril and Lomina. They're my favorite OC's I've ever written.

SUGARBANTJINN: I'm very happy I portray their relationship in a funny way. Thanks for reviewing!

 

These two are such a cute pair. Serious but sarcastic. You can feel the closeness between them even when they're sniping. Very enjoyable fic.

 

ardavenport: I'm very happy that you find Atril and Lomina cute. I'm glad it was enjoyable!

 

These two are too much. Love the back and forth about where Atril learned her 'bad language'.

 

that is one evil Paddie rofl

 

brodiew: They're really quite the pair. That's why I keep writing Atril and Lomina. The two of them are just too much fun.

SilSolo: I know. Atril is terrible, isn't she?

 

*is still laughing* Wonderful story. Lomina and Atril have the perfect blend of comfortable acceptance, humour, and seriousness. Me=enjoyed.

 

That is a lot of fun! I love all of Atril's over-dramatic comments contrasted by Lomina's drier ones. Well done.

 

Aludra_Jinnobi: I'm always trying to achieve that blend. Thanks for reading, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

SoA: Thank you! Atril is incredibly over-dramatic. It makes me smile to hear (or read, I suppose ) that somebody finds what I write fun.
