Star Wars Rebels: A Collection of Short Stories

Revenge of the Astromech

"Chopper! Can you come work on the internal comes again?" Hera called.
Chopper grumbled and rolled torwards the cockpit.
Zeb whacked him as he passed by. "Rust bucket."
Chopper grumbled even more, but continued to go to the cockpit. He rolled in and fixed the internal coms.. Again. What were they doing to keep breaking it so much? Honestly..
"Chop, can you go check on Ezra for me? I need to talk to Fulcrum," Hera said.
He grumbled and rolled to Zeb and Ezra's room. As soon as the door opened, Ezra covered Chopper in purple paint.
"Oh. Sorry, Chopper.. That was meant for Zeb."
Chopper shocked him and grumbled before he left. On the way to see Hera, Zeb whacked him. Chopper was in a bad mood, so he shocked Zeb harder than usual. Zeb growled and started chasing Chopper. Chopper was really bugged now. He made a sharp and sudden turn so that Zeb slammed into a wall. Chopper beeped triumphantly and rolled to complain to Hera. He rolled in and started ranting.
Hera raised a hand. "Whoa, whoa.. Chop. I'm sorry, but I didn't do anything."
He ranted angrily again.
"Alright fine.." She talked into her com. "Guys, Chopper said if you don't stop being annoying, he will be forced to return the favor."
"Like he hasn't already.." Zeb grumbled into his com.
Chopper beeped angrily and rolled out.

The next morning, they found out that Chopper was not kidding.
"Chopper!" everyone - except Hera and Sabine - yelled.
For Ezra, he had managed to write 'I love Sabine' on his face. Chopper took Kanaan's lightsaber apart and hid the pieces. He also got 'Hera + Kanaan forever' written on his face inside a heart. Zeb's bow staff's power cells were taken out, he was covered in purple and pink paint, and he had 'I'm smelly' written on his forehead. Chopper sat, satisfied, in the cockpit. It didn't matter what the other three said about Chopper. He's an essential and important part of the crew.
...
And he pulls good pranks.
