Ezra Bridger's Training

Because You're My Friend II

A couple minutes later. . .

"See? This is still a bad idea!" Ezra shouted as he and Kanan ran down an alleyway.

"It's your fault!" Kanan shouted back. Once again their harrassing stormtroopers with paint bombs had landed them in deep trouble.

"GET BACK HERE REBEL SCUM!" The stormtroopers yelled behind them.

"Some birthday present!" Ezra panted. Kanan just laughed and tossed a paint bomb back at the stormtroopers. Paint splattered the stormtroopers and the two rebels.

"Oops." Kanan said as they continued to run. They completely lost the stormtroopers after a few minutes.

"I would say that was fun." Ezra panted. "But it wasn't cause now I'm covered in paint.

"Cry baby." Kanan said. Ezra flicked orange paint in his face. Kanan stuck his tongue out at him.

"So mature." Ezra said sacastically. Kanan pulled confetti out of his pocket and tossed it at Ezra. But Ezra was prepared. He took out a party cannon from his backpack and popped it in Kanan's face.

"Ah! No fair!" Kanan yelled. Ezra threw the empty party cannon at him.

"So what's my gift?" Ezra asked suddenly.

"It's something." Kanan replied grinning. He looked pretty funny covered in orange, purple, and blue paint with confetti stuck to him.

"Oh I get it. You don't really have anything for me." Ezra said, crossing his arms.

"Or it could be so big that it's going to take awhile to get here." Kanan said.

"Really!?" Ezra asked eagerly.

"No, not really." Kanan said.

"Bummer." Ezra said, pouting a little.

"Oh cheer up!" Kanan said, smaking Ezra on the back. "Come on. I have something else for us to do."

"It better not include paint." Ezra said, whipping confetti paint out of his hair.

"Even better. It includes honey." Kanan smiled a little evilly. Kanan led Ezra to an abandon district close to the outskirts of the city.

"Okay here's the plan. I get a bunch of stormtroopers to chase me, again, you go up there," Kanan pointed to the roof of a building above them. "And then you dump honey on them and we run like crazy after that."

"Kanan," Ezra put a hand on his shoulder. "Your plans are showing your desperation for youth."

"Shut up and get your butt up there." Kanan said, brushing Ezra's hand off his shoulders. Giggling Ezra climbed up the building and found some jars of honey. Checking to be sure Kanan was gone he stuck his hand in one of the jars and started eating the golden goo.

"Mmmmmmmmmmmm. Best part of the day." Ezra said, leaning back on one of the jars. His weight was too much for the little jar though and it fell on it's side. Ezra fell back and landed in the sticky stubtance.

"This. Sucks." Ezra grumbled, sucking on his honey covered thumb.

"EZRA!" Kanan shouted below. Ezra tried to sit up, but his hair was really stuck in the honey.

"Um, sorry! You're on your own!" Ezra shouted.

"WHAT?!" Kanan yelled. Ezra heard stormtroopers shouting below and then Kanan climbing up the building. The stormtroopers ran past without seeing Kanan.

"Hahahahahaha! What happened to you?" Kanan asked, looking down at Ezra.

"What does it look like?" Ezra said angrily.

"Here I'll- " Suddenly Kanan slipped and landed across Ezra.

"Greeeeat." Ezra said throught clenched teeth. Kanan made a strange frustrated cry and put his head in his hands.

"Hey, Kanan?" Ezra asked.

"What?"

"I hate you."

"Shut up!"
