| TITLE: If you love me... (A guide to how Obi and Jemmy usually sort out their differences in opinion) By Jemmiah ********* "Jemmy?" "What?" "I was wondering�?" "Yes?" "Um�if you would do me a favor?" "Which is?" "Er�my socks have a hole in the toe." "I�m pleased for them." "I was kind of hoping that you might�? "Darn them?" "Yes." Pause. "No." "Why not?" "Because your socks are disgusting!" "Oh, please Jemmy." "Why should I?" "Well, I�m not much good at that sort of thing." "Hopeless is the word I would use." "Thanks." "I�d need danger money before I handled those objects." "They�re my only pair! My master made me put all the others in the washing basket." "So buy some others." "Jemmy�" "I�m Corellian! I don�t DO the 'darning men�s sock' thing." "You�re my girlfriend!" "So?" "If you loved me you�d do it." Sigh. "Oh, give them here." "Thanks, Jemmy!" "Well, where are they?" "On my feet." "Oh, Sith�" ******* TWO DAYS LATER: "Jemmy?" "Uh-huh?" "Er�I need another bit of a favor." "Which is?" "You know that rash I sometimes get?" "The Alderaani Rum induced one?" "That�s the one�well, it�s kind of come back." "Did Simeon spike your drink?" "Well�" "I�ll take that as a yes. What do you want me to do about it?" "It�s all over my back and I can�t reach it to put the cream on. I was wondering if�" "I�d come round to rub it on for you?" "Would you?" "No." "But I�m in so much discomfort!" "Go to the healers." "I can�t believe you said that!" "Get Master Jinn to do it." "He�s away visiting a friend in the city all day." "Is he indeed." "And I�m all on my own�" "Poor helpless baby." "Aww�please Jemmiah!" "I dunno." "If you loved me you�d do it." Groan. "OK. I�ll be right over. But you owe me big time for this." "I�m sure we can think of something!" "Yeah, I�m sure you can!" ********** LATER THAT NIGHT: "Jemmy?" "What?" "Thanks for bringing the chocolates over." "That�s OK." Looks at the floor. "I was wondering�" "What?" "Well, we�ve been going out for a few months now." "And?" "Would you mind terribly if I�" Bends over and whispers in her ear. "NO!" "Why not?" "Because." "That�s no answer." "Tough luck." "It would mean a lot to me." "I�m NOT doing it." "That�s so unfair! I thought we shared everything." "Don�t push your luck." "You are being extremely selfish. All I�m asking is that you let me�" "I�ve been bending over backwards to do everything you�ve asked of me. It�s all one way with you!" "Please, Jemmy?" "Stop fluttering those eyelashes, Ben. It won�t work." "But I�" "You�ve got a one track mind, that�s your problem!" "If you loved me you�d do it." "Oh, I was waiting for that one!" "Well?" "Stop wheedling." "Please, Jemmy?" "Stop it�" "Pretty, pretty please? I�ll give you a kiss first." "Ben, I said�oh, alright. If it�ll keep you happy. But this is the one and only time that I�m doing this�" "Jemmy, you are a wonderful person." "Go on, then." ************ EVEN LATER THAT NIGHT: "Had a good evening, padawan?" "Oh, yes master!" "Jemmiah visit you, did she?" "Yes, as a matter of fact. She showed me the meaning of true love and devotion." "How was that?" Grins. "She gave me the last chocolate left in the packet." |
