By that afternoon, the school was in chaos. Anyone who hadn’t done their washing the week before suddenly found themselves with a bright pink robe for their clothes, and breakfast that morning had been utterly disgusting. Somehow, the tops of the sugar containers had fallen off when someone tried to dispense some sweetener into their porridge, or if that didn’t happen, someone had switched the labels on the salt and sugar. There were huge muddy tracks across the green expanse of the lawn- someone had clearly ignored the signs about staying off of the grass. The meditation room was a mess. Someone, this Kylo Ren character, had doodled all over the chalkboard, scribbled rude words on the desks, and signed his name proudly. Everyone supposed that this guy was the same person who’d caused such trouble all over the campus, and kicked over the trash bins.
And of course, the students could talk of nothing but the incidents. “Who would do this? It’s so mean!” Iaa Dotoke complained to her friends. “And it’s so childish! We’re supposed to be better than that!”
“Seriously,” the tentacled boy replied, frowning and clasping two of his appendages over his chest. “And I look stupid in pink!”
“That might have actually be an accident,” someone else said. “But with everything else that happened… it’s so inconvenient, Master Luke is making everyone clean up. It wasn’t our fault!”
Leaning back, but being careful to show no sign of satisfaction, Ben was cackling internally. He could feel everyone’s rage and frustration, their disgruntlement and confusion. And it was glorious. It was like slipping into a nice warm bath after being out in the cold, or taking a cool drink of water after running laps on a hot day. He could feel his peers’ emotions whirling around him, and he took them in like a sponge, feeling his own internal power grow. The Dark Side really was more efficient than the Light. His grandfather really knew best!
Elsewhere, watching the whole scene play out, Padme Amidala smiled at her husband. “Good job, it worked.”
“You sound surprised,” Anakin laughed. “Of course it worked! We were the ones who came up with it, after all!” Padme shook her head.
I’m just relieved his path will be different,” she said, sighing. “If only you’d had the same advice.” The End
