Room 317 [after workshops]

[tatooine_doofus]

After his workshop with Mr. Winchester, Luke came back to his room to convince Artoo that Leia had gone home.

Artoo, still in the closet, remained unconvinced.

"I wouldn't lie to you about this," Luke told the door, rolling his eyes. "She came, she saw him, she had ice cream, she went home. Really."

Artoo let out a mournful whistle.

"Fine," Luke said, flouncing back to his bed. "I'll be over here, practicing levitation with Yoda who's a turtle again, thank the Force."

Yoda? Not thrilled by getting spun through the air again, but he couldn't talk any more, so no one cared.

The door was cracked open.

Sometime after his two workshops and some time spent bored in his room, Gavin wandered upstairs and knocked on the partially open door.

"Hello?"

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Hey!" Luke said, grinning. "Come on in."

Yoda, spinning through the air, silently begged to be saved.

Gavin pushed the door open and stopped immediately upon seeing the spinning turtle.

"Are you that bored?"

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Maybe," Luke admitted. "Or maybe it's a very advanced Jedi levitation technique."

No it wasn't.

"I hope your animal doesn't throw up all over your floor," Gavin said, smirking.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Yoda added that to the list of skills to develop.

Luke snickered. "Yeah, that would be bad. Come in! How have you been?"

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Pretty good," Gavin said, still glancing at Yoda. "Got splattered with pink paint last week and went to whatever that gathering was on Friday. What about you?"

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Leia was in town this weekend," Luke said with a smile. "I still have all of the limbs I started with. That's a good thing."

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Leia like...the princess?" Because Gavin knew several Leia's, you know.

Rikku was bouncing through the hallways singing to herself and being even more hyper than usual. Which was saying something.

She noticed Luke's door cracked open and knocked on it, which was probably stupid in retrospect, but nobody ever accused her of having sense. Knocking made the door swing in a little, and Rikku waved. "Hi! Luke! Whoa, flying turtle! That's awesome!"

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"It's kind of practice," Luke said as Yoda wondered if peeing for distance would get the humiliation to stop. "Though Yoda never made me use turtles. He preferred rocks and Artoo."

Still in the closet, Artoo blew a derisive raspberry.

[the_merriest]

Rikku looked between him and the turtle. "Whoa. So, like, you're doing it? That's so cool! I thought maybe he could fly. Rory's got a puppy that can. Uh, at least, she did when we were toddlers? Maybe he's normally not like that, either."

"Can you, uh, how are you ..." She stopped short at the raspberry. "Did you lock up your droid?"

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, it's me," Luke said with a shy smile, dropping Yoda back into his tank, where he immediately scurried behind a rock and plotted revenge. "Kind of a Jedi thing?"

He rolled his eyes towards the closet. "And Artoo's hiding from my sister. Who left yesterday," he said pointedly towards the door.

[the_merriest]

Rikku grinned. "That's awesome! I didn't know people could do that! And hey, your sister! Do you get to see her a lot? That's great!"

She looked over at the closet and giggled. "Uh, they don't get along?"

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"She was a little, um, yell-y before she arrived. Artoo decided hiding was a rational response." Luke rolled his eyes. "It's not he was keeping a secret from her or anything."

Artoo went strangely quiet. Luke didn't notice.

[the_merriest]

"You were keeping secrets?" Rikku looked at him curiously. "Are you okay? I mean, she's not ticked any more or anything, right? I hate it when Pops gets all yell-y. But that's kinda why I don't tell him things, so it's a big vicious cycle thing. You know?"

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"She's still upset, I think," Luke said quietly, "but not at me. It's a long, complicated mess of a family thing."

Tori had been pretty lazy this morning, not really doing much except for cleaning and making sure Dustin was happily fed and okay in his tank.

Wondering if Luke was in, Tori wandered down the hall to his room. Noting the slightly opened door, she knocked lightly.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Come in!" Luke called. Yoda, still floating through the air, sighed.

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Hey Luke." Tori entered and grinned, when she saw what he was doing. "For a minute there I thought Yoda might still be in human form. And this would be a totally different sight."

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke snorted. "Yeah, he'd be a little crankier, I think." He frowned. "He was practically vibrating yesterday. Way too much energy. I wonder what he got into."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"He most certainly would be, yes." Tori chuckled. "Oh, that might be my fault." She grinned sheepishly. "I gave him a small chocolate bar Saturday morning, when he happened into the common room. He said your dad never shared with him, so I gave him a little."

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Yoda smirked. If a turtle could smirked. Which they can't. So he just kind of hung there in the air.

Luke snickered. "Did he like it?"

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori nodded, grinning. "Very much so. It was a pretty amusing sight."

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"I'll bet," Luke said with a grin. "Though the entire 'look, your pet's human' thing I could've lived without. Radio said that the summer was involved?" He looked confused.
