Heyo folks! I just watched the episode Deal or No Deal when it came out yesterday and I loved it so much! Anyways, I've been pretty bored recently since my city's in shelter and place or whatever, and so I decided to write some drabbles/one shots to make me feel better! I hope y'all enjoy!
Anakin and Ahsoka walked down the Coruscant streets on their way to the bar. They had just received an important mission to find some man suspicious of selling weapons and information to the separatist party, and were given the intel that he was a regular at this one bar down in the lower levels of Coruscant.
Anakin was a little anxious about the mission. Master Plo had warned him beforehand, that Ahsoka's acting abilities were not at all what he'd call subtle, and that he should keep an eye on her.
"So, Snips." Anakin started awkwardly as they walked. "I was thinking, that umm- well, I had this thought that- uh-"
Ahsoka rolled her eyes. "Whatever you're trying- and failing to say- just say it, Skyguy."
He would just say it if he wasn't afraid she'd get mad at him. "Well, I was thinking that maybe, just maybe for this mission, I do all the talking for once." His voice raised an octave at the end of the sentence.
Luckily for him, she didn't seem to really understand what he was implying yet. "What? Why?"
He flinched. "Well, uhh, I just think things might go a little smoother that way."
"Uh huh." She said sarcastically. "What is it really?"
Anakin scratched the back of his neck nervously, and let out a small, panicked laugh. "I don't trust your acting!" He said really fast, deciding that it was better to rip the bandaid off quickly.
"What?!" Ahsoka stopped walking. "You've never even seen it! First you don't trust my flying, and now you don't trust my acting! You know, I'm beginning to think that you don't trust me at all!"
This was just what he was afraid of. "Common. You know that I trust you."
"No. I really don't think you do!" Ahsoka stood on her tiptoes so she'd appear taller when she stood up to him.
"Look, Snips. We really don't have time for this. We need to go find that man, and fast."
"And now you're blowing me off. Great. Just great!" She snapped, starting to walk away from him again. He had no choice but to follow.
"You're good at a lot of things, Ahsoka. Like combat, you're great at that. And leading the troops, and using the force and all that, it's just I think this would be more of one of my strengths." He rambled, trying desperately to calm her down.
She put up a hand to shut him up. "Whatever. We're here now."
Anakin looked up and saw that the bar was right in front of them. "Oh and Skyguy?" She asked sweetly before walking in the door.
"What?"
She turned around and smirked. "I'll do all the talking."
He tried to argue, but she had already walked into the bar. "Dear force, Snips." Anakin whispered to himself.
He followed her into the loud, flashy bar, immediately feeling uneasy. It was so loud, and jam packed with people that it was hard to focus on the force for just one moment. He couldn't see Ahsoka anywhere. He started to panic. He let her out of his sight for one second and he'd already lost her! His eyes scanned around for his apprentice, and it took him a good few minutes to find her.
Ahsoka was up at the counter, sitting in a stool that looked to be twice her size. It was pretty obvious she wasn't old enough to be there, but he'd heard that most bars down here were pretty shady and didn't exactly care as long as they got money.
Even worse, it seemed she'd already started her act. Anakin walked up to her and sat down in the stool next to her.
"Oh, here he is now!" Ahsoka said, in a weird voice that was lower than her own. He pinched the bridge of his nose. "Yep. Here I am." He sighed.
The bartender looked at him skeptically. "That's him?" he asked Ahsoka, pointing a thumb to Anakin.
It was obvious to tell that the bartender didn't really believe her and was just playing along, but she didn't seem to notice.
"Yep! There's my brother who left me and my boyfriend on the side of the road when we were traveling here!" She shot him an angry look.
"Oh for the love of-" he whispered under his breath. He was about to object and say that she was just kidding, but the bartender spoke up.
"You two? Siblings?" He asked. "But you aren't even the same species."
"I know, UNBELIEVABLE isn't it?" Anakin asked, elbowing Ahsoka lightly in the side.
Ahsoka just ignored the plot hole in her story and kept going.
You know, my boyfriend and I- we uhhh, well we-" She apparently hadn't thought of a cover up story very well.
"We got separated?.. Yeah! Yeah, we uh, got separated and I came here to find him!" Ahsoka said to the bartender.
Completely dropping her act for no reason, she grabbed her datapad out of her cloak pocket and shoved a mug shot of the man they were looking for into the bartender's face.
"Have you seen this man?!" Ahsoka yelled, standing up.
The bartender crossed his arms over his chest. "What? Are you with the authorities or something?"
Anakin held up a hand, ready to handle the situation, but out of pure spite for him, Ahsoka and her terrible acting was already on it.
"Authorities?" She asked, her voice now way higher than her own. "What are authorities?"
Anakin face palmed and stood in front of her. She was making a big scene and that was no way to go about this mission. "Sorry to bother you, she's had a little too many if you know what I mean." He said, gesturing down to Ahsoka.
"I have not!" Ahsoka yelled at him.
"Yeah, whatever you say, Snips." Anakin said, grabbing her arm and leading her away from the bar counter. Everyone's eyes were on them now, and so he decided that the mission was a lost cause. They'd find another bar and question people there.
Anakin led her out of the bar, while she kicked and screamed at him. "Hey! I had the mission all under control!"
"Yeah, of course you did." He said, rolling his eyes at her and letting go of her arm.
"He was just about to tell me where I could find him!" She snapped. "I could tell. He was close to talking!"
"He was close to kicking us out of the bar. You know, when we get home, you're getting some acting lessons."
I hope you guys liked this drabble! Please review some constructive criticism or tell me what I did well, it really helps. :) I'm kind of surprised I haven't already written something making fun of Ahsoka's acting, cause I mean, I love her to death, but everyone knows her acting is comical. :) love you lots!
