Title: Drinking Games
Author(s): emlayy
Timeframe: Post-NJO
Genre: Some humor, I guess. General.
Keywords: drinking games, new jedi order, strike team
Characters: Jaina, Jacen, Tenel Ka, Tahiri, Zekk, Alema, Lowie, Tekli, Tesar, a random Rodian.
Summary: They could never go back to their past, but it was times like these that gave them hope for the future.
Notes: "I Never" IS an actual drinking game, Tahiri IS underage but they don't seem to have a drinking age in Star Wars anyway, I wanted to try my hand at something that wasn't all dramatic and angsty and weird. This was originally a two-poster, but I couldn't see it that way when I wrote the ending. I hope I'm not violating any rules by writing something where everyone gets drunk, but I can totally see them doing that. And last of all, I have done a ton of research just to get the names of the alcoholic drinks and the "hangover food", so I hope that I got them right. And I'm sorry if the mention of drunks/drinking/hangovers offends anyone. Oh, and when Alema says things like "shay" and "hash" those are not typos, that's her slurring her words. She IS drinking Whyren's, after all. ;D

The Jedi of the Old Republic would be appalled to see their successors right now.
Tahiri Veila was upside down on the couch, her blonde hair spilling onto the floor, her bare toes wiggling in the air. Alema Rar was downing another bottle of Whyren's Reserve. (The means of how Alema got said drink are of questionable legality.) Even Tenel Ka had a quarter bottle of Lomin ale in her. The mood was giddy and happy. The war was over, the galaxy was at peace...
And the protectors of said galaxy were all very, very drunk.
"Let's play a game," Jaina Solo giggled over her glass of brandy. "Does anyone know a good one?"
Tenel Ka, the only one who in the morning would not be throwing up, raised an eyebrow. "What sort of game?"
"How 'bout a drinking game?" Alema suggested. "Ow, Tahiri, that wash my arm."
"What drinking game?" asked Jacen.
"What about I Never?" the Twi'lek replied. "You just shay something you've never done, and anyone that hash done it takes a sip from their drink."
"Okay!" Tahiri said, sitting up. "Owwww. Am I hung over?" She pressed a hand to her forehead, which was throbbing as an aftermath of having all the blood rushing to it.
"Not yet," Jacen said.
"Thisz one would like to play the game," Tesar rasped.
Bottles of alcohol were passed around, and they started with Jaina.
"I've never...had a real ship of my own. X-wings don't count."
Tenel Ka took a hesitant sip of her drink. Alema swatted her on the stump of her left arm.
"If you've done it, you have to take a drink. No little tiny sips," she insisted.
Tenel Ka sighed and took a larger sip.
"Tahiri's turn," Jaina said.
The blonde tapped her toes on the floor. "Hmmm...I've never...umm...had a life-threatening physical injury."
Alema, Jaina, and Jacen all took a drink. Zekk and Tenel Ka took half-sips.
"What're the half-sips for?"
Zekk shrugged. "Uh, well, I got hit on the head with a rock and I went into a coma and everything. It would've been life-threatening if I hadn't gotten immediate care, though."
"Tenel Ka?"
"When my arm was cut off. If I had been a weaker person, the shock alone might have killed me."
"Oh. Um, Tesar's turn."
"Thisz one has never seen hisz home planet after he left it."
Jaina, Jacen, Zekk, Tahiri, Tenel Ka, and Lowie all took drinks.
"I've never taken spice," Zekk said, after racking his brain for something he'd never done.
Alema took a drink, and then thought about something she'd never done.
"I've never...uh...this is hard...never...I've never...oh! I never thought I would be a Jedi."
Jaina, Jacen, and Tenel Ka all took a drink.
Rounds later, interesting truths about all the Jedi had been uncovered -- Tenel Ka had slept with a stuffed animal when she was young, Tekli had been deathly afraid of spiders, Lowie really did miss Em Teedee -- and all of them were so drunk they could hardly talk.
"Ah wissahnnn...guh," Alema murmured.
"Meh," mumbled Jacen as he flopped down on the couch. "Guh, Tahiri, getoffa..."
"Shutupandsleeeeeeep!" Jaina called from her position at the sabaac table.
So they did.
--------------
Tenel Ka pushed herself up groggily. What the -- ?
The Jedi were littered around the room. Jacen was lying on the couch, Alema was on the back of the couch, her lekku dangling in his face, Tahiri was on the floor mumbling something about the pink Mynocks ("They have blasters! Run for your lives!"), Jaina was facedown on the sabaac table (even though none of them had actually been playing sabaac), Tekli was rubbing sleep out of her eyes, Lowie was growling something about hangover food, and there was a strange Rodian eating a piece of ryshcate on the floor.
"Out!" Tenel Ka said, waving her arm at him.
The Rodian ran for the door.
Alema was slowly waking up. "Ugh. Someone turn off that light." She waved a blue arm to the window, where sunshine was spilling into the hotel room.
"That is not a light, friend Alema," Tenel Ka said patiently.
"Oh. Turn it off."
The Queen Mother of Hapes rolled her eyes and got up to prepare hangover food.
The other Jedi Knights slowly began to wake up.
"Alema, get your lekku out of my face," muttered Jacen upon discovered that his face was being assaulted by the blue head-tails.
"Ow," Tahiri said, pressing a hand to her forehead in a motion similar to the one of the night before. "I think I'm going to..."
She didn't get to finish that sentence, because Alema had shoved her to the 'fresher where she could be heard throwing up.
Tenel Ka passed around caf and some pills.
"How can you not be hungover?" asked Zekk.
"I did not drink half as much as the rest of you did," Tenel Ka replied.
"Is there any hangover food?" asked Jaina.
"I could not find any."
"Byss cheese, some nutmeat, a few squares of dew cake...stewed gwouch?" Jaina looked through all the items in the food storage unit before shutting it with a slam. "You don't suppose the food prep has a button for hangovers, do you?"
"I already checked," Tenel Ka said, "and there is not."
"Want to go find a restaraunt or something out here?" asked Alema, looking out at the serene waters of Mon Cal.
"Sure!"
"Okay."
"Why not?"
The war may have been devastating, and no matter how much they wanted to, they couldn't go back to their past.
But it was times like these that gave them hope for the future.
--------------
This is a mix of what happens when you read celebration fics and Rentfic. I like this a lot, actually, just for the normalcy of it...and of course, any situation in which the characters get drunk is worth it. So, tell me what you think, please.
