A Not-So-Normal Christmas

Chapter 8: It Was a Rock

"IT'S CHRISTMAS!" Ahsoka screamed at the top of her lungs. She jumped out of bed and dashed out of her room. She saw all the presents under the tree, ones her master had put and ones she had put.

Anakin came out of his room. "YEAH CHRISTMAS! WOO HOO!" He shrieked.

Ahsoka was bubbling over with excitement. "Merry Christmas, Master!" She cried.

"Merry Christmas, Ahsoka!" Anakin replied.

Ahsoka wouldn't have been able to stop smiling even if she wanted to, which she didn't. "Let's open presents!" She cheered.

"Alright! You wanna go first?" Anakin asked.

"Well, you can if you want to…" Ahsoka replied.

"Nonsense, go ahead." Anakin said.

Ahsoka beamed. "Ok!" She grabbed a present that was labeled "To: Ahsoka, from: Anakin."

She tore off the wrapping. It was a can of wall paint. "IT'S JUST WHAT I WANTED!" She squealed.

"I knew you'd like it," Anakin said.

Ahsoka looked at the color. It was called "boring and lame grey." "And the best color too! I'm going to paint my room with this later."

"Ok. My turn!" Anakin exclaimed. He grabbed a gift that said it was from Ahsoka. It was a book called "How to Make Large Unnecessary Mistakes when Building Playgrounds for Dummies." Anakin gasped. "Just what I needed!"

"Yeah, I know how you love to do that," Ahsoka replied.

"Your turn now." Anakin said.

Ahsoka picked up a gift bag and took out the tissue paper. It was a bag of pickle-flavored coffee. "NO WAY!" She screamed. "This is going to be the best coffee ever!"

Anakin chuckled. "It doesn't sound that good to me."

Ahsoka shrugged. "Well I can't wait to taste it."

Anakin opened his next present. But the wrapping was so pretty he took it off carefully to save it, which annoyed Ahsoka, but he did it anyway.

It was a hotwired battery that chops up wood if you want it to.

"WOW!" Anakin exclaimed. "This is so cool!"

Ahsoka smiled. "I made it myself."

"Really?" Anakin asked.

"No, not really! I bought it from the useless gadgets store." Ahsoka said, and she burst out laughing.

"Very funny." Anakin muttered, rolling his eyes and chuckling.

Ahsoka grabbed her next present and opened it. It was a rock. "YAY! A ROCK!" She cheered.

Anakin grinned. "You like it?"

"I LOVE IT!" She hugged the rock.

Anakin chuckled again and took his next present. It was a rock. "Hey, cool you got me a rock too!"

"Great minds think alike, Skyguy." Ahsoka said, tapping her head with her finger.

Meanwhile…

Obi-Wan had woken up at three a.m. to wrap presents. He was now going around to pass them all out. He put all the presents in a cart and pushed it along.

He knocked on Mace's door. "Master Windu! Merry Christmas!" He said, and handed him a present.

Mace's eyes lit up. "OOOH! YAY!" He tore off the wrapping. It was a rock. "YES! A ROCK!"

Obi-Wan smiled. "See ya later, Mace-y!"

"Did he just call me Mace-y?" Mace wondered aloud.

Obi-Wan went to Kit's quarters next. "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" He shouted.

Kit beamed. "Merry Christmas, Obi-Wan!"

"Here!" Obi-Wan handed him a present.

"Thanks!" Kit cried. He tore off the wrapping. It was a rock. "OOOOOH GOOIDE! IT'S A ROCK!" Kit screamed.

"Have a very merry Christmas!" Obi-Wan said, then walked away with his cart.

Ki-Adi was next. "Obi-Wan! Merry Christmas!" he said.

"Merry Christmas to you too! Here's a present." Obi-Wan handed him one.

Ki-Adi took off the wrapping. It was a rock. "YES! NOW I CAN ADD IT TO MY COLLECTION OF TWENTY ZILLION ROCKS!" He exclaimed excitedly. He now had twenty zillion and one.

"See ya!" Obi-Wan said, and he went to Anakin and Ahsoka's quarters. "Merry Christmas, Anakin and Ahsoka!"

"Merry Christmas, Master Obi-Wan!" Ahsoka said excitedly. She still couldn't stop smiling.

"Merry Christmas old master!" Anakin said.

"I brought presents for both of you." Obi-Wan said. He gave them each a present.

"Thanks, Master Obi-Wan!" Ahsoka exclaimed.

"Yeah, thanks!" Anakin said as well.

Ahsoka opened hers. It was a rock. "YES! NOW I'VE GOT TWO OF 'EM!" She squealed.

"YES!" Anakin cheered after he opened his present. It was a rock. "NOW I HAVE TWO TOO! If that makes sense…"

Obi-Wan beamed. "Have a wonderful Christmas!"

"You too, Obi-Wan!" Ahsoka called as he walked away. "And see you later!"

Obi-Wan waved and went to Yoda's quarters next.

"Merry Christmas, Yoda!" He said. He handed Yoda a present.

It was a rock.

"Yes! Now have friends, my corndogs do! Thank you, Obi-Wan!" Yoda exclaimed, and he closed the door.

Obi-Wan continued to pass out presents to all his friends, and finally came to the one on his list he was most nervous about. Aayla.

Knock, knock, knock! "Aayla, are you in there?" Obi-Wan asked.

Aayla opened the door. "What do you want?" She asked, frowning.

"I wanted to give you a present and wish you a Merry Christmas." Obi-Wan said. He handed Aayla a present.

Aayla curiously tore off the wrapping.

It was a beautiful red and green crayon. Aayla gasped. "You… got me a crayon to replace the one you took?"

"W-Well, I didn't take your old one. But… I wanted to give you this anyway." Obi-Wan replied.

"That's so sweet, Obi-Wan," Aayla said.

Obi-Wan, embarrassed, scraped his shoe on the ground. "It was nothing…"

Aayla beamed. "Well, have a merry Christmas!"

"You too," Obi-Wan said with a bashful smile. He was pretty sure he was blushing.

Aayla closed her door.

Obi-Wan grinned, absolutely elated, and he ate a candy cane as he delivered the rest of his presents.

Meanwhile… Ahsoka and Anakin had finished opening their presents and where making breakfast.

"I'm gonna make some of the pickle coffee!" Ahsoka said, sticking it in the coffee maker.

"Alright… just don't have too much, ok?" Anakin told her.

"I won't," Ahsoka assured him.

So she made the coffee and as they sat down to eat breakfast, she was eagerly waiting to take a sip.

"I can't wait to try this," Ahsoka said, blowing on the hot coffee to cool it down. She took a long sip. "Mmmmmmm!" She exclaimed. "It's so good!"

"Can I try it?" Anakin asked.

"Sure." Ahsoka handed him the coffee pot and he poured himself some.

Anakin took a sip and immediately spit it out. "EW! GROSS!" He exclaimed.

"You don't like it?" Ahsoka asked.

"NO! It's disgusting!" Anakin cried.

"I think it's delicious!" Ahsoka said.

"Well fine you can have all of it then, it's your Christmas present anyways." Anakin said.

They finished their breakfast. "I'm going to go stop by Barriss's house to give her Christmas present to her." Ahsoka said.

"Alright. Have fun! Padme and Obi-Wan are coming over for dinner later." Anakin told her.

"Ok. See ya later, Skyguy!" Ahsoka said, and she grabbed her present for Barriss and walked to Luminara and Barriss's shared quarters. "Merry Christmas, Barriss!" Ahsoka exclaimed.

"Ahsoka! Merry Christmas!" Barriss cried, hugging Ahsoka.

"I brought your present!" Ahsoka said, showing Barriss the neatly wrapped gift.

"Thanks! I have yours too." Barriss said.

"Yay! Let's open them." Ahsoka said.

Barriss agreed so they sat on the floor by the tree. Ahsoka told Barriss to open hers first. Barriss nodded and took off the wrapping. "YAY! I've always wanted the complete video tutorial on how to make fake perfume!" Barriss exclaimed, hugging Ahsoka again.

Ahsoka beamed. "My turn!" She opened the present Barriss gave her. It was a rock. "YES! This is the third rock I've gotten today! I LOVE ROCKS!" Ahsoka screamed.

Luminara came in. "Calm down, girls!" She said with a chuckle.

"Sorry, Master." Barriss said, giggling.

"So, what do you have planned for today?" Ahsoka asked.

"Well, we opened presents this morning, and later we're having Christmas dinner with some friends." Barriss replied.

"Cool, me too! Master Skywalker invited Padme and Obi-Wan." Ahsoka said.

"That's nice. Wow, your master is quite fond of that senator, isn't he?" Barriss commented.

"Yes, it confuses me sometimes." Ahsoka replied.

"Oh well. I hope you have fun! I need to help my master cook Christmas dinner, it takes like, all day." Barriss said.

Ahsoka got up. "Alright. Merry Christmas!" She said, and with one more quick hug, Ahsoka left.

Ahsoka went back to her quarters and found a package. It said "Merry Christmas to Ahsoka" on it. Raising a curious eyebrow, she brought it inside.

"Master, did you order a package?" She asked.

"No…" Anakin trailed off. He looked at the package. "It seems to be for you."

Ahsoka shrugged and opened it. It was a rock. And it was from Bob. There was a letter too. It said, "Dear my sweetest Ahsoka, I really enjoyed performing the ballet with you. Please enjoy this present as a token of my appreciation."

"Awww, that's so nice of him," Ahsoka said, taking the rock. "now I have four!"

Anakin chuckled. "Sweetest Ahsoka? I'd say Bob has a crush on you."

Ahsoka turned deep crimson. "He's just being nice…" She could feel her cheeks were hot with embarrassment.

"Just teasing you, Snips. Wanna help me cook Christmas dinner? We need to start getting things ready." Anakin said.

Ahsoka took a deep breath. "Sure. Let's do it!"

Meanwhile…

Mace was getting ready to go and give his crush, Aayla, a Christmas present. He had picked out the most beautiful thing he had ever seen and wrapped it.

So he walked excitedly to Aayla's quarters and knocked.

"My dear Mace! Merry Christmas!" Aayla said.

"Merry Christmas, Aayla," Mace handed her the present.

Aayla opened it in anticipation. It was a rock. "YOU IDIOT!" She threw the rock at his face.

"Ouch." Mace muttered. He started to cry and ran away.

Kit had been walking by looking at Christmas lights with his monkeys. "Dude, not cool."

"I'M NOT A DUDE!" Aayla shrieked.

"Whatever dude." Kit said with a shrug, and walked away.

"Ugh!" Aayla groaned.

Kit walked along with his monkeys. "And this, my monkeys, is this most horribly decorated house in the whole Jedi Temple." He gestured to Obi-Wan's quarters.

There used to be candy canes all over Obi-Wan's door, but now just the tape remained.

"And this is the best house!" Kit said, showing the monkeys Yoda's house. There were red and green colored corndogs all over and everywhere.

Meanwhile, back at Anakin and Ahsoka's quarters…

"Is the ham ready, Ahsoka?" Anakin asked. He was going off a checklist of things that needed to be ready.

"Just need to warm it up when it's time to eat." Ahsoka replied.

"All the other food?" Anakin asked, checking off the ham.

"Check."

"Presents under the tree?"

"Check."

"Are you ready, Ahsoka?"

"Double check!" Ahsoka exclaimed.

"Alright good. They should be here in a couple hours." Anakin said.

"A couple hours?" Ahsoka exclaimed. "I'm going to be bored out of my mind!"

"So? Find something to do!" Anakin replied.

"Fine." Ahsoka murmured, so she went to go find something to do.

Later, Padme and Obi-Wan arrived. Obi-Wan had already given Anakin and Ahsoka their gifts that morning, so he just had a gift for Padme (since he didn't want to walk all the way to her apartment).

"Should we open presents now, or after dinner?" Anakin asked.

There was a loud growling sound.

Everyone except Ahsoka looked around to find out what it was.

Ahsoka giggled sheepishly. "That was my stomach… can we eat first?"

Everyone laughed. "Yes, we can eat first." Anakin said.

So they sat around the table and dug into the delicious ham, potatoes, green beans, and everything else Ahsoka and Anakin had prepared. They also had sparkling apple juice to drink.

"So, how has your Christmas been so far?" Padme asked Anakin and Ahsoka.

"It's been great, we got tons of great gifts." Anakin said.

"I got four rocks!" Ahsoka said excitedly.

"That's nice." Padme said with a smile. "How 'bout you, Obi-Wan?"

"Well, I passed out Christmas presents almost all day. It was really fun!" Obi-Wan replied, stuffing a mouthful of food in his mouth.

They all talked and laughed and ate their food, it was very fun.

Finally it was time to open presents. Ahsoka handed Padme hers. "Why don't you open yours first." Ahsoka said.

"Ok!" Padme said. She took off the wrapping. It was a beautiful new wig. "I LOVE IT!" Padme exclaimed, taking off her hat and putting on the wig. Her hair was starting to grow back, but she still preferred to wear wigs for now.

Ahsoka smiled. "Who wants to go next?" She asked.

"Can I go next?" Obi-Wan asked.

They agreed so Obi-Wan chose the present from Anakin and opened it. It was, "How to Paint Walls for Idiots."

Obi-Wan gasped. "This is just what I needed! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" He exclaimed.

Anakin grinned. "You're welcome."

Next they decided Ahsoka could open hers from Padme. It was a rock. "YES! I'VE GOT FIVE NOW!" Ahsoka cheered, and she hopped up from her place on the floor and danced around, cheering about her new rock.

Anakin was next, and he opened his from Padme. It was a rock and roll music CD. "Yes! Slimy Fish rocks!" He cried.

"EW! You got rocks with slimy fish on them? GROSS!" Ahsoka shrieked, shuddering.

"No, I was saying it rocks, you know like it's awesome." Anakin said.

"Oh. That kind of rocks." Ahsoka said in understanding.

Padme next opened her present from Anakin. It was a rock. "Aw, thanks, Ani…" She said.

"You're welcome!" Anakin said with a grin.

Obi-Wan now opened the present from Ahsoka. It was a rock. "YES! NOW I HAVE A ROCK OF MY OWN!" He grabbed Ahsoka and hugged her so tight she thought she was going to die.

"Obi-Wan, let me go!" Ahsoka choked out.

"Oh, sorry." Obi-Wan let go of her.

Ahsoka took deep breaths. "At least you let go when people tell you to." She said, glaring at Anakin.

Anakin whistled sheepishly.

Padme now opened her present from Obi-Wan. It was a rock. "Oh… another rock…"

Then the last one to open was Obi-Wan, who had his gift from Padme. It was a gift card to the local department store. "YAY! Now I can go and buy candy canes!"

Ahsoka timidly spoke up. "Um, Obi-Wan? After Christmas they're not going to sell candy canes anymore."

"WHAT?" Obi-Wan screamed. Then he calmed down. "I guess I'll just buy some other candy with it then."

"Ok." Ahsoka said.

They all sat in silence for a few minutes.

"Oh, hey, I just remembered something!" Obi-Wan exclaimed. "I'm going to a thing tonight, it's going to be really fun!"

"What is it?" Anakin asked.

"I don't know, but I know we're supposed to bring any rocks we have." Obi-Wan said.

"Alright… can we come too?" Anakin asked.

"Yes! It's for everyone! I planned it myself." Obi-Wan said.

"So you just remembered it, but you planned it?" Ahsoka asked with her jaw on the ground.

"Errr yeah." Obi-Wan said.

Ahsoka rolled her eyes. "Well, let's go!"

So they all got into their warm coats and gloves and hats and scarves and boots, and they went outside with all their rocks.

There was a huge Christmas tree, and everyone was placing their rocks around the tree.

"What are they doing?" Ahsoka whispered to Obi-Wan.

"Oh, this is what I scheduled. Everyone puts all their rocks around the Christmas tree." Obi-Wan explained.

Ahsoka was silent for ten seconds. "Why…?"

"Well, ya know that song, it goes, 'rocks around the Christmas tree,'" Obi-Wan sung.

"Obi-Wan, it's rockin' not rocks." Ahsoka corrected him.

"No, it's rocks! So I invited everyone to come and put their rocks around the Christmas tree." Obi-Wan said.

"Well, ok… IT SOUNDS LIKE FUN!" Ahsoka shrieked, and she ran up to the tree and put her rocks down.

They all stood around singing "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" and dancing.

But suddenly, Obi-Wan said, "Hey guys… there aren't enough rocks around the tree."

Everyone gasped.

Then some random dude in the back shouted, "but wait! Ki-Adi's not here!"

And as if on cue, a giant bulldozer backed up and dumped a humongous pile of rocks on the tree. It completely covered the tree and made rocks go everywhere.

Ki-Adi stuck his head out the window of the truck. "Hey guys! Sorry I'm late!"

And everyone stared in shock.

It was a wonderful Christmas.

The End

Merry Christmas again and see you all in 2011! :D
