Star Wars Rebels: A Collection of Short Stories

Chapter 5

Zeb had brought a cake back to the ship earlier so Ezra and Zeb were messily munching on all three layers. Chopper entered the kitchen, shocked both of them, and left while angrily ranting.
"What's his problem?" Ezra said through his mouthful of cake.
"I don't know," Zeb said through even more cake.
Sabine crossed her arms and walked in. "He said all that cake isn't healthy for you."
"Tell that to my taste buds," Zeb said right before he shoved an entire piece in his mouth.
"That's the problem. Almost all junk food tastes better than healthy foods."
"You want some?" Ezra said before swallowing a piece.
"No thanks. I came to get a healthy salad with some vegetables mixed in," Sabine said.
"With loads of dressing?" Zeb said. "I love dressing.."
"Nope, no dressing. It makes the salad unhealthy.. Maybe some fat free dressing though."
Zeb rolled his eyes. "It's either fatty dressing or no dressing."
"Good point.. Enjoy your cake."
"It tastes good!" Ezra and Zeb defensively yelled after her.
Sabine just rolled her eyes and walked out with her healthy salad.
"Wait. Why is this a wedding cake..?" Ezra said.
"You ask too many questions, kid.." Zeb said with a nervous laugh.
"Did you steal someone's wedding cake?!"
"No.. I just sort of walked in and asked for cake. Apparently, I look like the future husband."
"Zeb!" Ezra and Hera - who had just walked in - said loudly.
"Garazeb Orrelios, you can't just go around stealing people's wedding cakes!" Hera yelled.
"He stole someone's wedding cake?" Sabine shouted, storming in the room.
"What's going on in here?" Kanaan said, walking in.
"Heh.. I kind of stole a wedding cake?" Zeb said.
"Zeb!" Kanaan said then paused. "Is there any left?"
"Kanaan!" Hera and Sabine yelled.
"Okay, okay.. No more stealing cakes, but since you've already done it.."
Kanaan walked over and ate a piece. Hera punched Kanaan. Not too hard, but not playfully. The two girls stormed out to talk about how what Zeb had done was so, so wrong. Chopper came in, shocked them, and left again. Probably a message from Hera and Sabine, but the boys didn't care. Cake tastes delicious..
