Clone Wars One Shots/Activities

Adopting a Porg

(I hope you enjoyed that beautiful picture of the Porg)

Anakin and Ahsoka were walking in a market in the lower levels of Coruscant. They had been assigned to "keep an eye out" for suspicious activity, aka, Obi-Wan needed to get them out of his hair.

Ahsoka looked at the different items the vendors were selling, from fruits to meats, to small animals to random junk.

They continued walking down the aisle when something caught Ahsoka's eye. She spotted a feathered creature with white, brown and orange markings. It was cooped up in a cage all by itself. It's big, black eyes staring into hers.

"Hey Skyguy, look at this," she said, pointing to the little creature. "What is that?" He asked, trying to get a better look at it by kneeling in front of the cage. "I think it's a Porg. I briefly learned about them in my studies." She said, also kneeling to examine it. "It's adorable." She said, continuing to stare at it. "I wouldn't say adorable, more like delicious." He smirked. Ahsoka instantly shot him a horrified look, indicating his statement was not funny. "I'm just kidding." He said, holding his hands up in surrender.

"Can I keep it?!" Ahsoka suddenly asked, gripping Anakin's arm. "Pleaseeeeeee." She begged. "Snips, you know I don't like birds, I don't think-" he was cut off by looking into her puppy dog eyes. "Hey, that's not fair." He whined. "Please, Skyguy! I'll even let you name it!" She instantly regretted saying she'd let him name it, but if it were the difference between her getting the creature and not, she would sacrifice choosing the name. "Fine." He rolled his eyes, accepting defeat. She clapped her hands together in excitement as Anakin made the purchase.

They travelled back to the temple after not coming across any suspicious activity, other than some sketchy people who the police were already handling. "Hmmm, what should we name it?" Ahsoka asked herself. "Woah there, Snips, you said I got to name it," Anakin said. "Depends on what you name it." She replied, slightly frightened as to what he will pick. "Let me think. Pierogi, because Pierogis are delicious." He concluded. "Absolutely not. No way." She protested. "Excuse me, but I recall a certain someone said they would let me name it if I let them get the Porg." He said, crossing his arms. Ahsoka would have done the same, except she carried the cage in one hand. She sighed a sigh of defeat, as she knew she would never win this. "I can't believe out of all the names in the galaxy, you chose Pierogi." She rolled her eyes and groaned. "Hey! It's a great name." he defended.

"So....ah...Skyguy, where are we going to keep the Porg?" Ahsoka asked, cradling it like a baby as it snoozed away. "You mean Pierogi," he replied. She rolled her eyes, "Fine, where are we going to put Pierogi?" She asked. "Hmmm, I don't know. Maybe-" Anakin was cut off as Pierogi, that was sleeping in Ahsoka's arms, suddenly flew out of her grip and started squawking.
"Turn it off! Turn it off!" Anakin yelled as he dived under the kitchen table. "It's not a droid. I can't turn it off!" she yelled back, frantically trying to catch the bird. 

She eventually thought of the idea to use the force to try to still the bird, so she did. She stretched out her hands and used the force to keep the bird in one spot. After Ahsoka had used the force to get ahold of the bird, it continued to flap its wings and squawk while frozen in mid-air. She gently yet firmly grabbed the bird, holding it securely. Anakin came out from under the table as his comlink flashed, and he answered it. "Anakin, you and Ahsoka are needed in the council chambers for a mission briefing." Obi Wan's voice carried over the com. "We'll be there in a minute." "Where were you saying we could put it?" Ahsoka asked, still holding the bird. "Why don't we just put it in the bathtub until we can think of something better? He can't escape there." Anakin suggested as they didn't really have any other choice.

Obi-Wan stayed at the temple, as he wasn't needed on the mission and wanted some relaxing time, if he was honest. He headed to Anakin and Ahsoka's quarters, however, as he left his book there last night when they invited him over to watch a Holofilm, he read most of the time. The duo had left for the mission already, which meant their quarters would be empty, or so he thought. 

He opened the door and picked his book off the coffee table in the living room. Let's say that neither Anakin nor Ahsoka were very neat people, so their quarters were slightly trashed, but cleaner than normal. He was about to leave when he heard a strange noise coming from the bathroom, like a pecking sound. He walked over and opened the door, not expecting a bird to fly at his face and over his head. Obi-Wan was in shock that he didn't notice the bird had landed and was ripping fabric from the rug in the living room. 

Once he emerged from his state of shock, he carefully swooped up the bird and put it back in the bathroom, shutting the door tight behind and leaning on it, fingers pinching the bridge of his nose, "What am I going to do with them," he asked himself followed by a sigh.

Anakin and Ahsoka had just finished up in a battle and were now cleaning up scrap metal parts, some still sparking like mini fireworks. Anakin's comlink suddenly beeped and flashed. He stopped what he was doing and answered the call while Ahsoka and the clones continued to get ready to leave. "Skywalker he-" "Anakin! What possessed you to, first of all, buy a Porg and second of all leave it in your bathroom?!" Obi-Wan shouted. Ahsoka froze and stared at Anakin, who stared back, shock written all over both of their faces. 

"Busted," Fives whispered as he was making his way towards the ship. Anakin quickly hung up the comlink and continued to stand there in shock. 

"Fives, how did you know?!" Ahsoka asked, chasing after him. "I didn't. But I'm not surprised," he smirked. Anakin finally came up behind the two, "Well, we have a lot of explaining to do." Anakin concluded as they walked up the ramp of the ship.

I-I'm sorry.
