Title: Puppy-Dog Faces
Rating: G
Discription Challenge: The old saying goes, in terms of weather, if March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb. Structure a dialog-rich creation that does just that: starts off with a volatile, heated exchange which dies out to a whimper, silence, or somehow reaches resolution. You may use any characters you wish, but keep it Star Wars. Some description is certainly acceptable, but try to focus on the importance of the dialog in driving the plot.

*Squeal* "I got it!!!!!"

*CRASH!!!*

*Panic, thump, shuffle, suffle*

"What was that?!"

"Oops. Umm...Nothing!"

*Thump, thump, gasp* "Oh, Han, the globe!"

*Shuffle, scrape* "Sorry sweetheart; it was an accident! I'll clean it up!" *Shuffle, scrape, shuffle*

"Han, that was important to me!" *Pacing*

"I know, sweetheart! I know!" *Avoiding angry wife*

"How did you do that?" *Trying not to hurt hubby*

"I...umm.... I just wasn't paying attention."

*Shuffle of tiny feet*

"Hold it!" *Disciplinary mommy voice* "Did you two have a part in this?"

*Trying to gain sympathy with puppy dog eyes and terribly cute frowns* "We're sorry, Mommy."

"Yeah, Mommy. We know that was important to you."

*Tapping foot* "Were you rough-housing?"

*After careful consideration* "Dad let us."

*Wide eyed* "Gee, thanks guys."

*Sigh* "You two, go to your room. I need a word with your father."

"Yes, Ma'am!"

"You're welcome, dad!" *Giggles, shuffle, swish of door closing*

*Puppy dog face and cute frown* "Are you mad at me, sweetheart?"

*Stern face melts into a smile* "How can I be? You and that damned face."

*Proudly grins* "I knew it would work." *Quiet suffle*

*Backstep* "Oh, no you don't. You're going to replace that, flyboy."

*Shuffle again* "Okay."

*Backstep* "And you're going to punish the twins."

*Shuffle once more* "No problem."

*Backstep, trying to hide a grin* "And you're not going near that Falcon for two weeks."

*Long pause, jaw dropped* "But, Leia! Be reasonable!"

*Giggle, quiet shuffle* "You should have thought about the consiquences before you started playing smash ball in the house."

*Mock-frown* "Yes, ma'am."

*Small pause* "C'mere, flyboy."

*Soft grin* "Yes, ma'am." *Quiet shuffle, soft kiss, whispered* "Mmm. Glad I listened."

*Whispered* "Me too." *Pause* "Han, did you--?"

*Another kiss* "Sh-h-h...." *Comfortable silence*
