Summary: Just a dialogue between the two
Author's Notes: I don't know why this morphed into A/O (more like HINTS of A/O). I also don't know why I'm reposting this crap to my own journal - well, okay, yeah, it's just that I'm anal and I have everything else here :)


“Not this lecture again…”

“Don’t roll your eyes at me, Padawan.”

“Sorry, Master. But there must be something you like about the Chancellor?”

“The only redeeming feature I’ve found is that he's clearly a patron of the arts because he goes to the opera."

“But you don’t even care about ‘the arts’!”

“I don’t?”

“…You do?”

“Not particularly. But I’ve never said as much to you, so you would be wise not to make assumptions, my young Padawan.”

“I knew it. You don’t seem like the opera type.”

“And what type is that?”

“Chancellor Palpatine.”

“I shall consider it high praise not to be comparable to him in any way.”

“Aww, I bet that’ll make him sad when I tell him how you feel.”

“Anakin! You are not to repeat any of this to him!”

“Relax, I’m just kidding – you get mad so easily, you know that? Maybe you oughta work on that. Jedi aren’t supposed to give in to their anger.”

“I’m not mad. You’re just so…”

“Hmm? I’m just what?”

“You’re infuriating, that’s what.”

“I try!”

“You succeed.”

“What else am I?”

“You’re… late, if you keep this discussion going any longer.”

“He doesn’t care if I’m late, he knows I have Temple business and stuff. And gee, Master, you just missed out on a perfect chance to express your true feelings for me.”

“My true…? Anakin, you’re incorrigible!”

“Let me help you – you can start by saying, ‘Anakin, you are the handsomest, bravest, most talented Jedi I’ve ever known—“

“Jedi Padawan. You’re not a Jedi yet.”

“Whatever! Talented Padawan then. ‘And thinking of you makes my insides turn to mush…’”

“Ugh. I don’t think it’s my insides so much as your brain.”

“You’re blushing! You do have feelings for me, don’t you!”

“We are not having this discussion. Go meet the Chancellor, you need to be back here and in bed at a decent hour.”

“In your bed?”

ANAKIN!

“Okay, okay, calm down. See you later, Master, don’t miss me too much!”

“I won’t give you a moment’s thought.”

“You can miss me a little bit.”

“Just not enough to make my insides mushy?”

“Ha! Yeah. So um… bye.”

“Now you’re blushing.”

“Bye!”

LOL! That was very cute and funny. Oh the banter.... makes my insides turn to mush. HA!

What is the McDiarmid quote?

Oh, I guess I could have included that!

Ian McDiarmid said this:

"I've been trying to find a redeeming feature to Palpatine, and the only one I've got so far is that he's clearly a patron of the arts because he goes to the opera."

We were allowed to change it up a little to fit into the fic :)

Glad you like it! Since A/O just isn't my cup of tea I'm appalled at my muse for producing this. LOL

Ohh. Cool quote.


Hey, I am A/P and I enjoyed it.

Oh! That's true, huh! Well good. Just don't make A/O a habit ;)

But A/O is a GOOD habit!!! Everyone should indulge in the A/O habit!!!!!

I'm getting caught up on my reading tonight, because otherwise I'd be doing something productive, like writing the FREAKING PAPER THAT'S DUE MONDAY OH CRAP. Aaaanyway: I sniggered, I snorted, I almost peed my pants. :) Really really cute. I love dialogue fics!

Monday is still three days away, you have plenty of time to spend in Fic Land! Hehehe.

Glad you enjoyed! I like dialogue fics too though not so much when they're A/O... *shudder* I've written far too much A/O for someone who can't stand the pairing!

What've you got against A/O? Other than that it's not Palpakin, I mean. There's a nice improbability about it that I like. (I think I also like the fact that there are two hot guys and they bicker like an old married couple, but still.)

What the world needs, however, is More Palpakin Dialogue Fics.

You are absolutely right about the two hawt guys thing making it a likable pairing... I realize it's rather irrational that I don't like it. I'm actually much better about tolerating it than I used to be... I'll even read A/O fic on occasion if written by a friend who for some reason really WANTS me to read it!

Here is an explanation (http://luminations.livejournal.com/22684.html) that's probably tl;dr but hey, you asked, lol

Moar Palpakin dialogue fics, yes plz

Hee, that was cool. I don't think I would ever be a good candidate for an RP; most days, I struggle just to play myself (and sometimes don't do it well and am totally OOC and then everyone gets very confused, especially me -- those are the days when I want "more Star Wars and less reality"). I think I'm suffering from some sort of biological imperative that means I like Anything With Ani. Some day I'll explain about why he's the Love of My Life, etc. etc.

But you should know that I'm plotting A/O right now ... *evil laugh*

I barely do it nowadays. The "official" game I'm in is all but dead now, and besides that I have two extremely slow-moving private RPs I do with people that go weeks at a time between responses. I've really lost interest in it because this is enough for me, whereas before I wanted to RP all night every night!

Does Mr. Catastrophe know he's second to Ani? LOL

Oh you evile woman! That's okay, I can use my scroll button as well as the next person ;)

Oh. My. God. I kind of want to make out with your icon. But that's not, you know, anatomically feasible.

Annnyyywaayyyy ...

Mr. Catastrophe knows and gave me the Anakin Force FX lightsaber for my birthday, lol. He said, "now you can handle Anakin's lightsaber any time you want." And I said, "Mmm, Ani, it's heavier than I expected ..." (My Padmé Moment, mock if you will.)

Ah, but you won't want to ... you will be irresistibly drawn in by the power of the Dark Side ... I have foreseen it.

Haha! Yeah not sure how your anatomy would line up with... uh... well, you have two faces there to work with... O_o

At least he's a good sport about it! Now to get him to wear an Anakin costume and go about wooing you with gems like "I don't like sand"...

I AM NOT HEARING THIS LAST, OH NO

Hrmph. Let's line me up with Ani and Palpatine can watch. He seems like the voyeuristic type (re: As Clear As Mud, Ch. 73).

I'm thinking those things sound better when Ani says them. While we're at it, the costume looks better on him, too. :) Mr. Catastrophe is more fun to torture with Vaderkin slash ... mwuhahaha.

You cannot avoid it. It is your destiny.

Fantasy is always better than reality anyway ;)

I adore the Vader-pout you've got going. I'd rule the galaxy with you, Darth. :)


You, like [okay, not your father, but someone cool] are now mine.

Whoa hey how did you know my father isn't cool? I'M MOST IMPRESSED WITH YOUR POWAZZZ
