I'm reuploading the preexisting chapters, so you can find all the chapters here in one story. Thanks again to LiveLifeHappy04 for handing this off. If you notice a few differences, you'll see that I spellchecked it, and polished it up a bit. People who regularly read my books know for a fact that I don't like how singing translates into book form, and I'm especially not a fan of this song in particular, but this piece was done nicely, if cheesy nonetheless.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Sabine sat on the plains of Lothal silently humming to herself while painting. She had got an amazing idea the other night when she and Ezra, were on their way to the Mountains to figure out some prank ideas. Well, she followed Ezra for reasons unknown to even her. Sabine's idea was to make a portrait of Mountains when it was illuminated by the sunset sky. Her work of art was slowly but surely making progress because every detail HAD to be perfect. That included the way the colors fade into each other. What she wasn't realizing was that her humming kept getting louder and louder. Ezra was near the ladder when her humming got louder. He noticed what song she was humming to and somehow he knew the song.
"Kanan, I'm gonna go get some fresh air," Ezra yelled while eying the ramp of the Ghost.
"Okay, don't be too long," Kanan replied.
Ezra then opened the ramp and followed the humming sound. Once he got to the source, which he soon figured out was Sabine, he crouched in the grass. Once he was down low she started to sing while continuing to paint.
"When I first saw you, didn't know what to think but something about you was so interesting. I can see me and you being best friends the kind of friend that finish each other's sentences."
Then Ezra joined her. "When I can't think of the right words to say, I just sing, Oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh. Come on and harmonize with my melody. And we'll sing, Oh-oh-oh. Ain't it a Perfect Harmony," at this point Ezra stopped crouching and stood behind a painting Sabine with a hand on her shoulder.
"I would have never thought I'd be here with you. To start a friendship that is so brand new. It's so amazing, I have to say. Never met someone that had so much in common with me. Now I can look into your eyes all day and just say," Sabine turned around, stopped painting, and had a look of hope and happiness on her face towards Ezra."Oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh."
"I wanna harmonize with your melody. And just sing, Oh-oh-oh."
"Ain't it a Perfect Harmony?" Ezra and Sabine then started slow dancing around the mountains.
"Sometimes in your lifetime, you look and search for someone just to care."
"Look around and it was there."
"And we didn't need to go nowhere. When I can't think of the right words to say, I just sing, Oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh. Come on and harmonize with my melody. We'll just sing, Oh-oh-oh. Ain't it a Perfect Harmony?"
At this point, Kanan, Hera, and Zeb were watching the two dance from the ramp, that a certain padawan forgot to close, with wide smiles.
"When I can't think of the right words to say, I just sing, Oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh. Come on and harmonize with my melody. And we'll sing, Oh-oh-oh. Ain't it a Perfect Harmony?"
"You got me,"
"I got you,"
"I got you,"
"You got me,"
"Yeah, you got me,"
"I got you,"
"A perfect harmony."
"Uh..... We can explain," Sabine quickly shot out and let go of Ezra when she saw the crew watching.
"Uh.... Yeah, we were just uh, just, uh practicing my lightsaber footwork," Ezra remarked backing up Sabine's statement with a nervous shaky voice.
"So this is what you call fresh air," Kanan retorted, hand on his hip.
"Uhhhh..., yeah that was the singing," Ezra told Kanan with his awkward smile.
"Sure it was, kid," Zeb said sarcastically. Ezra eyed Zeb and Chopper chuckled, then zapped Ezra which pushed him into Sabine.
"OWWW," Ezra screamed,"CHOPPER THAT HURT!" Sabine looked down at a smirking Ezra who looked back up at her as she mouthed the words,
"What goes on in your mind?" Ezra smiled up at Sabine and mouthed,
"Well let's see there's you, pranks, you, Jedi training, and mostly you." Sabine rolled her eyes and pushed Ezra up. He stood up arms crossed and gave "The Look" to a chuckling Chopper and Zeb. When the two saw Ezra's look they immediately stopped chuckling. Chopper then made a HUGE mistake. He decided not to mess with Ezra but Sabine. Ezra watched Chopper wheel around to Sabine, stand there for a few seconds and.... BZZZZT! Ezra watched carefully as Sabine's face went from calm and collected to a deep shade of anger, wait no, rage. She took two small steps towards a slowly walking away Chopper and Zeb because she could tell that Zeb had planned for Chopper to do that. Ezra soon stepped in tune with her so that he could get revenge while still holding his "Look." After about five calm and collected the Mando and Lothrat duo started counting. They got to 10 and sprinted after a running Zeb and Chopper.
"GET BACK HERE YOU STUPID, KRIFFING RUST BUCKET OF TORN DOWN PARTS," Sabine screamed while sprinting.
Hera gasped at the language that the Mandalorian used towards her droid. Ezra had never seen Sabine like this. Her eyes showed a spark of anger and so did his. Chopper shocked a dazed revenge planning Ezra which brought him back to sprinting with Sabine.
"YOU ARE SO DEAD YOU SLOPPY, ROTTEN DROID! YOU TOO YOU SMELLY, HAIRY, PILE OF PURPLE LASAT DUNG," screamed a rage filled Ezra.
Hera had then had enough, her green face turned bright pink and she motioned for Kanan to step next to her. They then waited for the two furious teens to come back around and when they did Hera went into her Mother Hen mode. She grabbed Sabine by her shoulders and held her ground as Sabine was struggling to try and get away. Kanan had Ezra by his wrists and each of the teens slowly got tired of struggling. They then gave up and calmed down. Zeb had made it back to the ship yet Chopper hid behind Hera when she and Kanan let go of the teens.
"You two are lucky that I haven't sent you back to the ship yet. I NEVER want to hear that language towards my droid again! And I don't care if it wasn't the worst language that I've ever heard! Now I want you back on the ship in 10 seconds or so help me I WILL drag you there myself," a very angry Hera screamed.
"Yes Ma'am," The teens stopped slouching and said.
Sabine grabbed her finished painting and then they marched side by side back to the ship within ten seconds of Ezra chanting,"Left Left Left, Right, Left. Left Left Left, Right, Left."
"How did you know that song Ez," Sabine asked once back to the Ghost.
"Well, I kinda don't know. I think I might have heard it when I lived on the streets," Ezra answered, "But that story is for another time. I still had fun, though."
"Same here, Goodnight Lothrat," Sabine said smiling.
"Goodnight Mighty Mando," Ezra whispered and saluted Sabine. The teens marched back to their rooms with wide smiles and dropped onto their beds with the last of their energy. They closed their eyes and processed the day. Sabine opened her eyes, looked at the clock, and noticed that it was 01:19 hours (1:19 AM). The Mando and Lothrat smiled to themselves about the memories that they would hold onto from today and slowly drifted off into their own dreams.
