Wilson was taking a cup of coffee for a walk.
It was about as productive as glitter solar systems.
Pausing by the door, he stood there for a moment with a bemused expression on his face.
"What, are you doing?"

"What, are you doing?"
Jamie almost tripped walking into Anakin's office but managed to keep himself from falling to the ground and saving the precious nectar of Grape Judas that he was holding in a gigantor cup.
"Professor Skywalker!" Jamie said in greeting as he put the drink down on Anakin's desk. "Look! Grape Judas! I brought one for you."
"Professor Skywalker!" Jamie said in greeting as he put the drink down on Anakin's desk. "Look! Grape Judas! I brought one for you."
Anakin's attention didn't waver. "Remembering my astronomy," he said with a slight smile. "This is the Naboo system."
"Thank you?" Anakin asked, staring into the cup.
He had no idea what Grape Judas was.

Wilson's lips quirk in a rueful smile and he leaned against the doorframe watching.
"I'll take your word for it," he said, since it was unlikely he would ever be in a position to argue what the Naboo system looked like.

"It's a squishy," Jamie said bouncing slightly on the balls of his feet. "You drink it!"
Jamie then took a sip from his cup and his eyes rolled back into his head in rapture.

"Something more familiar, then," Anakin said, waving his hand lazily and reconfiguring the glitter into the solar system Earth was a part of.
The unspoken "why?" was written all over Anakin's face as he took a cautious sip and tried not to shudder at the sweetness.
"Thank you," he repeated.
"Thank you," he repeated.
"Now that I recognize," Wilson said with a grin and a chuckle.
"You have the handwavey action down almost as smoothly as Aziraphale and Lucifer manage it."

"Glad you like it," Jamie said bouncing some more and talking in a sugar induced rushed voice. "If you want I can bring it over to you on a regular basis because its just the best flavor ever and quite possibly the best grape squishy you can buy today on the market. In fact I challenge anyone to come up with a more grapier grape than a Grape Judas slushies. Even grapes aren't this grape!"
Anakin tried not to bristle too visibly. "...almost?" he repeated a little icily.
"Or this shade of purple," Anakin agreed, poking at the drink with his straw.
A terrible thought hit him.
"How many of these have you had today?"

"How many of these have you had today?"
Wilson arched an eyebrow and took a calm sip of his coffee before shrugging.
"I've had more experience with their handwavey techniques in violent and life threatening situations than I have with yours."
Crossing one ankle over the other he shifted his shoulders against the door jam.

"This would be my third," Jamie said slurping away. "And I already had two- No! Three espressos at the Perk before I got these."
Jamie was bobbing his head pretty quickly now.
"Sleep is evil," he said as if this explained everything.

Anakin forced back his initial temptation to tip the doctor over using the Force, but he didn't look at all appeased.
"I wasn't aware that I needed to perform up to your specifications," he replied, tone sharp enough to cut. "Perhaps a list of powers would do?"

Anakin was about to ask Jamie to sit down, but checked the impulse. That much caffeine and sugar would have the boy bouncing around the room a few moments later anyway.
"Why is sleep evil?" he asked instead, spinning the drink between his fingers.

Taking another sip of his coffee, Wilson mostly looked incredibly bemused by the turn of events in the conversation and he might have been trying to track back to where exactly things had gotten confusing.
"I don't think either is necessary. I'm well aware both of your abilities and your reputation, Anakin and I've had personal experience with your healing speeds and use of the power you call to yourself. I apologize if I've missed some particular distinction in powers. When things get up to the levels that you three inhabit, it's well beyond my ability to comprehend nuances."

"Complete waste of time," Jamie said with an exaggerated wave of his hand. "I mean which would you rather be doing? Lying in bed comatose letting the world slip by why there's so much to do in the world? People could get so much done if they just cut back on the whole sleep issue thing. I mean really, who needs it? Not me. So I'm forsaking it and moving on."
"Don't use the term 'almost' around anything I do," Anakin said, trying not to sound petulant, and almost managing it. "I've been using my 'handwavey'"--there was ice in that word, "techniques in battle for the better part of my life. I'm as smooth as anyone."
He tipped his head towards the glitter. "This is an exercise. Nothing more."
He tipped his head towards the glitter. "This is an exercise. Nothing more."
"Really," Anakin said. "I tried that for a few months. It's not nearly as effective as you'd think."
"So noted," Wilson said quietly. "Again, I apologize for giving offense. Have a good day."
Giving Anakin a nod, Wilson pushed away from the doorjam and retreated from the doorway.

Katara realised she'd not seen her former mentor in a very long time. And since she was bored and wandering around and saw the door open, she decided to peek in.
"Hi!"
"Hi!"
Anakin gave her a small smile. "Katara!" He waved her into the office and brought the glitter down from the ceiling to form a large ball between his hands. "It's good to see you."
"I don't have any classes today so I was bored," she explained. "Uhh, not that I would only come to see you when I was bored! And, hey, glitter! I learned how to waterbend with glitter over the summer!"
It was a save...really.
It was a save...really.
Anakin raised an eyebrow but let the snub pass. "You can bend the glitter?" he asked. "Into what?"
