Office hours [all day]

"Skywalker" really must mean "candy" in gremlin. Anakin had barely gotten his door open before one of the little bastards adorable creatures leaped at him and bit him on the knee.

Five minutes later, Anakin was sitting behind his desk with his hair teased up, wearing a pair of Daisy Duke shorts and a shirt cut low to expose, well, chest hair, since he didn't have assets to share.

He was examining his stapler with a terribly confused look on his face. "Chicken of the Sea?" he said in a really bad Southern-ish accent. "Is it chicken or fish?"

The door was wiiiiiide open.

"The camera adds at least ten pounds. God, Nick. And that belt was awesome."

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"That belt was a three thousand dollar travesty," Nick shuddered.

[sith_happened]

"Daddy said it looked fantastic," Jessica said smugly.

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, well Daddy never told you what buffalo wings were," Nick smirked right back.

[sith_happened]

"Shut up about the buffalo wings, okay? It was a totally logical mistake!" Jessica retorted.

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

Nick snorted, having nearly forgotten the dimness of his ex. "Right, because there are so many buffalo running around with tiny wings. What are you doing in here anyway?"

[sith_happened]

She had no idea. "What are you doing here?" she countered.

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

Trying to figure out what was left of him. Um.

"I was working on a new song." Liiiiiies.

[sith_happened]

"Oh, me too," Jessica lied. "You're not in it."

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Thank God! Another thing I won't have to clean up after," Nick told her, crossing his arms over his fantastic chest.

Which in reality was still fantastic. Oh yes.

[sith_happened]

Oh, it really, really was fantastic. God.

"I know how to clean!" she insisted.

Soooo not true.

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"You know how to clean your diamonds," Nick said, pausing for the laugh track that should totally follow his awesome self around.

[sith_happened]

Jessica rolled her eyes. "Ha freaking ha. We're not on television any more. There's no laugh track."

She totally knew that look in his eyes, oh yes.

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Come on, Jess. You always provided my best material." Because her idiocy was so natural. "Can't deny me a little laugh now."

[sith_happened]

God, he was still so cute.

She opened her mouth and began to sing:

There are times
I swear I know you're here
when I forget about my fears
feeling you, my dear
there are times
I swear I know your here
when i forget about my fears
feeling you, my dear
watching over me
my hopes seek
what the future will bring
when you wrap me in your wings
and take me...

Dammit, she'd forgotten how bad this song was.

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

Shit, she was singing their old duet and he was not going to be shown up...wherever the hell they were.

Where you are!
Where you and I will breathe together,
Once again,
We'll be dancing in the moonlight,
Just like we used to do!

[sith_happened]

Jessica reached for the handy pencil sharpener microphone, stepped way into his space and finished the chorus with him:

And you'll be smiling back at me
only then will I be free
when I can be, where you are!

Not that she wanted to be where he was now. Didn't he live in, like, Cincinnati or something?

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

New York City, not that Jess would ever be expected to know geography.

And I can see your face
your kiss I still can taste
not a memory erased
Oh, I see your star
shining down on me
and I'd do anything
if I could just
be right there...

God, did she write these lyrics?

[sith_happened]

Omigod, did he try to take part of her solo? Bastard.

The show must go on!

If i can just..be right there.. she breathed at him.

Where you are
where you and I will be together
once again
we'll be dancing in the moonlight
just like we used to do
and you'll be smiling back at me--

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

Like she deserved more lines than him in this damned song.

And you'll be smiling back at me he repeated, joining back in.

Only then will I be free
then I will be free
so take me where you are

Now baby there are times when selfishly
I'm wishing that you were here with me
so I can wipe the tears from your eyes
and make you see
every night while you are dreaming
I'm here to guard you from our fall...

[sith_happened]

Oh, like he was really pulling off some of the lyrics. Emote, dammit, emote!

And anytime i feel alone
I close my eyes and dream of...
where you are
where you and I will be together--

Hell yeah she was going to hold that note til it cried. Suck, it, Nick.

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

And we will be together baby!

Was her voice cracking? He was pretty sure she was gonna crack.

[sith_happened]

She wasn't going to crack, dammit!

Once again
we'll be dancing in the moonlight--

He could just continue to stand there and harmonize.

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

She always took the lead. But guess what? He had 98 degrees of harmonization to whip her ass with.

We'll be dancing in the moonlight!

[sith_happened]

Just like we used to do
and you'll be smiling back at me
(and you'll be smiling back at me)
only then will I be free
then I will be free--

How did she not remember this being the longest song in history?
