Kanaan's Fun Day (Part 2)

Kanaan thrust several packs of soda on the checkout counter. "Yo. Hook me up with some soda, man."
The cashier stared at Kanaan with his mouth hanging open. Eventually, he snapped out of it and rang up the purchase.
The cashier cleared his throat. "Um.. Are you sure you want that much soda? It cost 2,500 credits.."
"Kanaan, do we have enough?" Ezra said.
"I brought some of my life savings, soooo yeah. Here you go."
Before Kanaan could hand the eager cashier the money, Ezra grabbed his arm. "Life savings?! Kanaan, soda isn't worth-"
"I can do whatever I want with my life savings!" Kanaan argued. "Here you go, dude."
Ezra sighed. Kanaan would regret this when he snapped out of his funk..
The cashier looked at all the soda. "Do you, uh.. Want a bag for these?"
Kanaan threw green glitter on the cashier. "No way. Go green!"
Kanaan and Ezra took their soda and left. By the time they reached the outskirts of town, he drank half of the several cases of soda he had bought.. Which were all cafinated.
Kanaan was practically bouncing up and down. "Hey, Ezra. Ezra. Ezra. Ezra. Ezra. Ezra. Ez-"
"Yeah?" Ezra interrupted, realizing how annoying it was from this side.
"Did you bring any paint?"
An evil smirk spread across Ezra's face. "I always have a can of paint."
"I want to do something fun.. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Storm troopers?"
"Bigger."
"I like where this is going.."

Ezra hesitated. "This doesn't seem like a good plan.. It's worse than your others."
Kanaan sighed dramatically. "You're always saying I need to be more fun. I am being fun so come on!"
"Fine.."
"You finished?"
"Oh yeah. You?"
"As soon as I add a mustache.. And done. Lol! Cool. Swaggy. Afk. Kfc. Brb... YOLO!"
Kanaan's shouting made the Imperials spot them. They called for reinforcements and began shooting.
"Ugh.. Kanaan."
"What? It's totally your fault."
"My fault?! How?"
"Give me a second.. I'll think of something."
"I thought you said that we need to take responsibility for-"
"Blah blah blah. I'm the new and improved Kanaan. Old Kanaan is afk forever. Now come on.. Let's run."
"Good idea.. But new and improved Kanaan is a bad plan maker. So, this is your fault."
"You let me!"
"Because you- WATCH OUT!"
Ezra pushed Kanaan out of the way as a shot barely skimmed Ezra's shoulder. He lost one hand's grip.
"You okay, little dude?"
"Kanaan, listen to me. New and improved Kanaan isn't an improvement. Sure, old Kanaan might be a little boring, but he makes up for it by being an awesome jedi.. And master. Please stop acting like a teenager and do what you do best."
"What's that?"
"Save the day."
Kanaan frowned and thought about it. He tore off his sunglasses and hurled them straight at an Imperial's head without looking. The two collided and knocked the soldier out. Kanaan used the force to lower Ezra onto a building. Kanaan used the force to jump down. The two began running.
Kanaan grinned. "So I'm fun?"
"I said you were an awesome jedi. Don't push it.." Ezra said. Kanaan frowned. "I'm just kidding.. Except when we're training."
"Okay, okay.. Enough mushiness. Let's get out of here."
Kanaan noticed Ezra was holding his shoulder and wincing.
Ezra smiled. "I'm fine.. Let's go, Master."
Kanaan smiled and he pulled out his com. "Spectre 1 to Ghost - we need a pick up and a quick exit."
Hera sighed in relief. "I'm glad you're back.. Rendezvous at the north exit."
"On the way.. Spectre 1 out."
"What? Not going back for the soda?" Ezra teased.
"I am hereby rebanning sodas. My teeth are probably rotting right now. Ew, ew, ew, ew! Did I seriously spend 2,500 credits of my life savings on soda that will rot my teeth?"
"Hey. You wouldn't listen to me."
"I should do that more often.. You're not always wrong, you know."
"Really? Hadn't noticed. I've been babysitting you all day and warning you not to do things-"
"I know. I didn't listen.. I'm sorry. Let's get back to the ship. Then we'll fix your shoulder." Ezra sprayed orange spraypaint on Kanaan. "What was that for?"
"For not listening.. And because it's fun."
Kanaan sighed. Ezra's back..
