Krispy: *sigh* Alz, I am so jealous.

Steph: It's hot.

Krispy: YEAH, it IS. But YOU didn't have to go stand in line outside the DMV for like half an hour in the HEAT of the afternoon and then spend like another hour or two in there WAITING and then finally TAKING the damned test!

Steph: It's not my fault you let your permit expire!

Krispy: BLEH to you! Well, in any case, I am majorly proud of myself.

Steph: Oh really?

Krispy: Yes. Check out my list for this week.

Obi-Wan: I am impressed and very pleased with your new work ethic.

Krispy: *happily* THANK YOU, Master Kenobi!

Obi-Wan: Now, could you let me out of this box?

Krispy: No. But here's some air conditioning! *adds AC to box*

Anakin: Wow! Built in AC for a glass box! That's pretty neat!

Steph: Did he just say "neat"?

Krispy: Erm... Wing?

Wing: *glare*

Krispy: ...are you still mad at me?

Raven: He is still upset with me too.

Krispy: ...was he always like this?

Raven: *smile* No, he used to be much more...cheerful.

Krispy: *grin* Was Wing a cute little fuzzy birdie?

Raven: Yes, he was. He used to be so small that you could hold him in the palm of your hand. It also helped that he liked to curl into a fuzzy little ball.

Krispy: *squeal* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

Raven: And he--

Wing: THAT IS ENOUGH!

Raven: Oh look. He speaks.

Wing: *GLARE* Raven, when I looked like that, YOU looked like that too. You aren't that much older than I am!

Krispy: WING! You're so fun!!! *GLOMP*

Wing: ARGH! GET OFF! IT'S HOT!!!

Steph: *stifling laughter*

Sseriya: *amused* He sounds just like Krispy.

Anakin: Like Writer, like Bird.

Obi-Wan: Well put, my young apprentice.

Krispy: Have fun again tomorrow Alz!

Krispy: erm...sorry Wing but I promised Alz.

Wing: YOU DID NOT TRADE MY BROTHER FOR THAT KNIGHT!

Krispy: Actually, I didn't...but I did sorta--

Wing: You sacrificed him to satisfy your own sick curiosity?

Krispy: Erm...

Wing: You BETRAYED ME, your FAVORITE, just so that you could get a piece of information?

Krispy: Hey! I wouldn't be playing that card--

Wing: You actually promised that you would reveal MY BROTHER and thus put him in a certain amount of danger?

Krispy: Sheez! You're sensitive about this issue!

Wing: HAVEN'T YOU PUT HIM THROUGH ENOUGH TRAUMA ALREADY?!!!

Krispy: ...

Raven: *reappears*laughs* Wing, I think I can take care of myself.

Wing: Oh sure you can. Pfft. DO YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE THAT?!!

Krispy: ...is he usually like this?

Raven: ...no.

Krispy: ...well, Alz. There you have it. By the way Raven, you may want to put up a shield.

Raven: Thank you very much. I think I will. *puts up a shield*

Wing: *glaring at both of them*

Krispy: Scrollwork?

Sseriya: Never heard that one before.

Krispy: Heh...this DMV book is so boring. I don't remember crap.

Steph: Oh, it's common sense! Don't worry about it!

Krispy: ...I'm worried about it.

Steph: Well, I passed.

Krispy: True. Hey, you know wearing headphones/etc. while driving is ILLEGAL.

Steph: *glare* Would you have liked to listen to those two while driving?

Krispy: Point taken.

Steph: Besides, I was driving a speeder which requires a different license than a car.

Krispy: I'm sure the rules are similar.

Steph: But who the frell is gonna stop me here? I'm in a speeder!

Krispy: Without a licence.

Steph: Oh no, I have a license for that.

Krispy: ...

Steph: I have a license allowing me to drive practically anything.

Krispy: HOW?

Steph: I get around. That way, I can do everything legally...not that I drive that legally.

Krispy: Right. Okay, will get back to reading about the Rules and Regulations of THE ROAD.

Sseriya: Maybe...maybe portals are not as bad as I hold them to be...

Krispy: I'm out.

ACT 5: The Aftermath

Characters: Krispy, Obi-Wan, Anakin

Cameos: Dude, The voice of the Force/Qui-Gon aka Gennia

They stood outside of the Staples Center now, in an open area that looked like a plaza. Vendor carts stood open (reminding Krispy of Universal Studios Citywalk), though no one was looking at the wares. To the side was a gift shop that reminded Krispy of the Diner in Alhambra and Johnny Rockets. People milled around, lamenting the death of so many Jedi and the fall of the Republic to the Dark Side. The sky was a drab gray, and it looked like it was about to rain.

Anakin walked out of the gift shop wearing a gray T-Shirt. This, of course, exposed the gold mechanical arm he received at the end of Ep. II, as well as some new wounds. He was burned on his face and good arm, and he was paler. It gave him a frighteningly Darth Vader (without the helmet at the end of Ep. VI)-ish look. But Anakin was okay and he was still on the Light Side and that was all that mattered.

"Anakin! You're okay!" Krispy chirped, giving him a huge hug. Obi-Wan smiled and did the same, glad that his apprentice was still alive and well. And that was when the voice of the Force/Qui-Gon or rather Gennia spoke. Krispy even thought she glimpsed a translucent Gennia floating at the edges of her vision.

"See, it's not the end of the movie yet cuz Anakin hasn't turned to the Dark Side." And then it was gone. Obi-Wan and Anakin seemed to take it all in stride, despite the fact that the comment had just revealed to them a huge part of their future. Krispy blinked and had a great realization. Everything made so much more sense!

This was Episode III!

In any case, Krispy wandered off with Obi-Wan into the crowd because Anakin soon disappeared in search of Padme again. She approached a Dude with long hair who wore a tie-dyed T-Shirt. They had a short chat about how the Jedi Council was almost non-existent and so on and so on--Krispy didn't really remember it. Afterwards, she walked off by herself, having also lost Obi-Wan. Always at the back of her mind was the thought of Sidious' infamous Jedi Purges, but Gennia's words came to mind. As long as Anakin stayed on the Light Side, the Purges couldn't take place.

Or so she hoped.

It was then that Anakin reappeared, back in his Jedi robes I might add, with a worried look on his face. Again, because of his great timing, Obi-Wan also came back and stood by silently.

"Are you alright?" Krispy asked, clapping a hand on Anakin's arm. Unfortunately for Anakin, her hand landed right on his burn.

"OW! I'm burned, remember?!"

"Oh sorry, forgot about that," Krispy apologized, looking somewhat embarrassed. Obi-Wan smiled and shook his head. Then he gave Anakin an expectant look.

"I still can't find Padme," Anakin said sorrowfully. Again, the voice of the Force/Qui-Gon aka Gennia spoke, except this time it spoke in the most bizarre way. Obi-Wan opened his mouth and formed the words, but Gennia's voice came out.

"That's right because she has to save the twins!"

Krispy looked at Obi-Wan and blinked with amazement. Yes! That made PERFECT sense! However, Anakin still lookced doubtful.

"Well, try finding her through the Force," Obi-Wan, back to his normal self, suggested. Anakin sighed and from what Krispy could tell, probed the Force. He looked relieved when he was done.

Krispy: And then I woke up. Well, there was another small part that's too vague for me to write where I ranted about how the Council was blown to bits and Darth Sidious yada yada except I kept saying Darth Vader for some reason and had to keep correcting myself.

ACT 3: The Arena

Characters: Krispy, Anakin, Obi-Wan, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, Palpy's lackeys

Cameos: Count Dooku, Padme Amidala, Coach Takeshita

Krispy sat down and gazed out into the stadium. The realization dawned on her with all the force of a charging rhino that THIS was the same stadium as that used in the "Arena Battle" on Geonosis during Ep. II. As she sat there, dumb-founded by this amazing revelation, people started filing in and sitting down. A few were dressed like Jedi, others were in medieval style clothing.

Anakin sat down behind her, but moved away later, mumbling something about wanting to sit near Padme. Krispy turned to watch him go and saw Obi-Wan. He was sitting in the row behind her but further down--to far to be reached. She also glimpsed the back of Padme's head and the white of her suit. Krispy also noted that an open space at the end of the row behind her was for the handicapped.

Supreme Chancellor Palpatine had taken his place on the balcony thing where Dooku and Jango Fett stood during Ep. II. He was going to give his Important Address to the Senate, though this look nothing like the Senate. About 6 other creatures stood behind him, looking grim and ugly.

A soft whirr behind her made Krispy turn to see what it was. To her surprise, Count Dooku, sitting in one really cool chair, settled down in the handicap space. They had a little Chit-Chat before Dooku turned his attention back to the arena.

Suddenly, Coach Takeshita appeared wearing a Jedi cloak. The fact that he was even there was a mystery to Krispy. It wasn't as if she had actually been in contact with him! Behind him a greed Twi'lek Jedi followed. They were making their way down to the arena floor.

It was then that Krispy noticed that all the Jedi were heading for the arena floor. The Jedi Council already stood assembled, right in front of Senator Palpatine. Krispy, because of the fact that this was her dream and she just knew these things, knew that the Jedi were unhappy with something either the Senate or the Chancellor had done and were now protesting. Obi-Wan tapped Krispy on the shoulder and indicated that they should join the gathering as well. Anakin also stood, and together they headed down the steps and toward the arena floor.

ACT 4: Palpatine goes Dark Side

Characters: Krispy, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Darth Sidious, Dark Jedi

Something happened that really really pissed Palpatine off, and he revealed his true nature, Darth Sidious--that is, he went totally Dark Side. Without warning, he attacked the assembled Jedi with Force lightning. His ugly lackeys revealed themselves to be Dark Jedi, and also started blasting the arena to bits with Force lightning. Within moments, half the Jedi Council was dead and the others running for their lives.

Suddenly, everyone was rushing to the exits (which looked suspiciously like those at the Staples Center). Force lightning hissed and seared the air, stabbing Jedi as they fumbled to arm themselves. Bodies were flung into the air with huge explosions of red sand, landing with sickening thuds and cracks. Darth Sidious cackled and projected his evil into the Force.

Obi-Wan, Krispy (who was in very nifty Jedi robes, by the way), and Anakin reached the arena floor just in time to see half the Jedi Council blasted into oblivion. They ran in, hoping to save Jedi but ultimately realizing there was nothing they could do but try to escape. Anakin ran off, shouting something about needing to find Padme. Obi-Wan and Krispy continued trying to get to the exits without getting killed.

Obi-Wan activated his lightsaber, the blade a comforting glow in the red dust storm. Krispy followed his example and drew her own lightsaber, which had she not been preoccupied at the time, she would have freaked out about. They deflected a few bolts of Force lightning as they ran, but Darth Sidious' sharp gaze found them. With a maniacal laugh, he projected himself at them while making them his new targets.

His face was huge, and it floated in the air, those blood-shot eyes glittering a bright red. Krispy thought it was the scariest thing she'd ever seen, and the ugliest too. It was then that Darth Sidious made a direct attempt to kill Krispy. Force lightning shot in black bolts towards her and Obi-Wan, but they were saved by...

"ANAKIN!" Krispy screamed as she turned and saw Anakin running up behind them. The bolts hit him, burning his skin and throwing him to the ground.

Obi-Wan grabbed Krispy by the arm and took off at a greater speed towards the exits. Darth Sidious' red eyes appeared before them again, and Krispy lashed out at it with her lightsaber, knowing that it was no use. Luckily, Sidious never had the chance to try to kill her again. Obi-Wan, with his infinitely good timing, pulled himself and Krispy through the doors and out of the stadium.

Krispy: Blogger just destroyed the second half of the narration of my dream and I am very very angry because this entire 5 Act Tale took me an entire effing hour to type out. I will attempt to recapture the detail and whatnot of the original last 3 ACTS but know that at this point, I am very very ANGRY. Thank you and enjoy.

Krispy's Dream: A Tale in 5 Acts

ACT 1: Secret Agents

Characters: Krispy, some guy, some girl, a bunch of guards with guns.

Krispy and Guy tried to get into a highly guarded complex. There was a high white wall, topped with barbed wire and patrolled by guards in black suits, wearing sunglasses and carrying huge automatic rifles. Very daunting, ne?

But this was no big deal to Krispy and Guy because they'd already been there and done that before in a previous dream. So, they make a decoy and stick it up in a tree right outside the wall. This decoy was wearing a huge black hat and a long black coat. Nothing else could be distinguished, but because it was standing in a tree so near the walls, all the guards came crowding over and were shouting at the lifeless decoy while Krispy and Guy snuck in.

Once insides, they made their way to a vacant lot. It was in great disrepair and faintly reminded Krispy of a meadow. The grass was a very bright, air-brushed looking green and grew in long bent stalks. In the corner were rickety wooden doors leading to a storm cellar or so it seemed.

The doors opened, revealing a blonde Girl from previous dream, standing in front of the opening of a tunnel from previous dream. She was our guide into the headquarters of some secret resistance (of what? I have no idea.). We entered the tunnel.

ACT 2: The Journey

Characters: Krispy, Guy, Girl

The tunnel was dug into the earth. It just so happened that the earth here was a red color like clay. In fact, Krispy thought it was clay, but amazingly it did not get all over her clothing.

The tunnel was so small that they had to squish themselves as much as they could and follow the girl on their stomaches. The clay was wet and stuck to Krispy's elbows, though not to anything else. Somehow, the tunnel was dimly lighted. At some points, Krispy and Guy didn't think they could fit because at those points, the tunnel seemed to shrink. Girl would yell back and say not to think of being claustrophobic. If they thought of something else, the tunnel would not seem so tiny.

Against all reason, this advice worked. Krispy forced herself to think of just moving ahead, and the tunnel suddenly seemed to widen. It was strange because she could also see better now too. The circular opening seemed to stretch up, and its rounded, red sides abruptly looked like columns holding up a rounded, red roof. And it was all starting to look really familiar.

Then Girl turned into a side tunnel and disappeared from the dream.

When Krispy turned, she realized that the tunnel ran over a stairway, also carved out of the clay. The opening she had turned into was not really a tunnel. It was a hole in the wall overlooking a stairway. On the wall opposite the opening, was another hole of the same size and shape as the one Krispy looked through. She realized that she had to stretch herself across the gap and into the other hole. However, the hole she was currently looking out of was too small for her to fit through so she spent some time carving away the clay with her hands. By now Guy had disappeared from the dream also.

In any case, Krispy eventually got the opening big enough for her and stretched herself to the other hole. She pulled herself through and fell into a stadium.

Krispy: *in shock* OH MY GOD...

Sseriya: *facepalm* Flight did not just do that.

Kylin: ...Does anyone have anything to drink?

Zalari: Lord Ice, if you would--

Ice: *roar* GET OFF OF ME!!! HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME IN SUCH A MANNER!!!

Sseriya: Kylin, do something.

Kylin: And since when did this become my problem.

Sseriya: I cause wars; you stop/prevent them, right? So go prevent bloodshed from happening!

Kylin: ...

Steph: *stepping out of the car* I haven't had that much fun since--*stare at Ice* Dragon King Ice?

Ice: *snarl at Steph and Sseriya* Get this creature off of me at once!

Sseriya: With all due respect--

Ice: *snort* Respect?! I am hard pressed to believe that you have any respect for me!

Sseriya: *ignoring the interuption* Flight is not my responsibility.

Ice: He is the company you keep. *hiss* And a creature of fire...

Steph: *thru gritted teeth* Flight, you're not helping us much here...

Sseriya: As if Lord Ice's opinion of me wasn't bad enough already.

Ice: I do NOT hold any liking of you Fox. *peels Flight off with teeth and flings him away like a rag-doll* NEVER touch me again.

Steph: *cough* Anyway...Quicksilver! You're like a natural at this! Okay...if you'll hang on for a second, I will go find a speeder!

Anakin: Oooh! LET ME HELP YOU!!! *runs over and drags Steph off before Obi-Wan can stop him*

Obi-Wan: I think I sympathize with Seraph.

Red: *lets out a puff of smoke*to Velvet* I like her. *points at Aegis*

Black: Foxes...I do not see many different species in my kingdom.

Gold: The ones here are...I can't say I like them very much.

Silver: That clingy one makes me nervous.

Iron: And that other one is just after our scales.

Blue: I have a neutral opinion of the others.

Brown: *snort at Storm* And Brother Storm does not have attention enough to spare on Foxes.

Dragon Kings: *grumble in agreement*

Emerald: I like the Fox Anima. I keep quite a few at Court because I find their cleverness entertaining and useful.

Ice: *hiss and glare at Flight* No Fox would be stupid enough to venture into my kingdom.

Ruby: *good naturedly* Well most animals in their right minds would stay clear of your kingdom, Brother.

Ice: *growl*

Krispy: You know, I think I may have a cold...

Everyone: ...

Wing: I told you not to down those 5 packets of sugar.

Zalari: Straight after that smoothie.

Wing: Which wasn't that long after that Mocha Blast.

Obi-Wan: Which was almost directly after that cup of imitation Sprite.

Krispy: Pfft. Sugar does not have--

Zalari: It did have an effect on you.

Wing: You couldn't fall asleep last night?

Krispy: Yeah but it wasn't like I was hyperactive or--

Obi-Wan: You were while doing E-Team.

Krispy: ...I hate you guys.

Zalari: No, you don't.

Wing: You love us.

Obi-Wan: You really do.

Krispy: ...Why are all of you ganging up on me?

Obi-Wan: Strength in numbers.
