4:00p.m.

Sally walks around the shopping area. Leon and Fasha have been looking around here as well. Sally sits on a bench. Leon and Fasha are in a store. Sally seems deeply troubled.

Sally: Oh Riley. I wish I knew how your doing...please be okay.

Sally looks down at her boots.

Sally: I...wonder how hard it would be to find Palpatine? I...gotta learn how to protect my friends.

Suddenly a bunch of alien's run through the area.

Alien: Run! Everybody run! Monster!

Sally looks around.

Sally: What? First a Sith is loose and now a monster? I better look into this.

Sally gets up and she walks off. The alien's get really scared as people run for their lives. Leon and Fasha walk out of the store and they walk to the bench.

Fasha: Oh Sally. Got you something.

Leon and Fasha look around.

Fasha: Aw shoot. What'd we miss this time?

Leon: Better question...where's Sally?

Alien's run through the area.

Alien 2: Monster! Run!

Another alien runs to Leon and Fasha.

Alien 3: Don't just stand there dude! Run for your life! The monster is on the loose!

The alien runs off. Leon and Fasha look at each other.

Fasha: First a Sith now a monster.

Leon: Think there's a connection to the Empire?

Fasha: Most likely.

A Turian and an Asari have been following the monster.

Turian: There it is...I've never seen anything like it.

Asari: It looks so mean.

Turian: At least its not bothering anyone.

They look at each other.

Asari: I know...but we've got to get rid of it.

Turian: Agreed.

They look back but its gone.

Asari: Where did it go?

Turian: Oh no! Look!

Asari: That creature is moving straight toward Rizzo's!

Turian: That's the best restaurant on the Citadel!

Asari: We've got to warn them!

The monster flies into the restaurant. Rizzo is in there with one of his Ryloth employee's. Rizzo is standing there holding an award his restaurant just got.

Ryloth Alien: Alright. Hold still.

The Turian and the Asari run in.

Asari: There it is!

Turian: Hit the deck Rizzo!

They run toward Rizzo.

Ryloth Alien: Say money.

Rizzo: Money!

They snap the picture just as they get tackled by the counter.

Rizzo: What is the meaning of this? I should fire you two right now!

Asari: Oh no please. We're trying to save the restaurant.

Rizzo: What do you mean?

Turian: There's a monster out there.

Rizzo: Is he a paying customer?

Asari: Oh no. He doesn't want to eat food. He wants to eat you!

Rizzo: Well. Let's have a look at this monster.

Rizzo looks at the monster flying around the room.

Rizzo: This is your monster?

Turian: Yeah.

Asari: Awful isn't it?

Rizzo: Just because you two have never seen a creture like this doesn't mean its gonna hurt you. I'll show you.

Rizzo walks toward the monster.

Asari: Oh! Why won't he listen?!

Suddenly Rizzo screams. The Asari and the Turian look. Rizzo is missing.

Turian: The monster ate Rizzo!

The monster flies out the door. Sally walks through the area. Suddenly a group of people run through the area.

Sally: What the?

Alien's: Monster!

Sally looks and a butterfly is flying toward the group of people. The epic chase music from SpongeBob plays. The butterfly chases the alien's. They run.

Alien's: Ahhh!

The alien's run to a shop. The butterfly follows them. They run to another building. The butterfly follows them again. Sally watches as the butterfly chases them.

Sally: I don't know why everyone is so scared. Its just a harmless butterfly.

The butterfly flies close to Sally. She holds her finger out.

Sally: Come here little guy.

The butterfly flies to Sally and it lands on her finger.

Sally: Aw.

The alien's cheer.

Alien: Yay! Sally tamed the monster!

Leon and Fasha walk to Sally.

Leon: What's going on?

Fasha: Where's the monster?

Sally giggles and she shows them the butterfly on her finger.

Fasha: Your kidding...they were scared of a butterfly?

Leon: Well...I guess it makes sense. After all. These alien's have never seen one before.

Fasha: Oh...hm...I guess I didn't think of that.

Leon: The better question is...how did it get here?

Sally: We shouldn't worry about it.

Sally holds her finger up.

Sally: Go on little guy.

The butterfly flies away. Sally crosses her arms as she turns back to Leon and Fasha.

Leon: What's wrong Sally?

Sally looks at Leon.

Sally: Huh? Oh...nothing.

Fasha: Come on Sally. You haven't been yourself today.

Sally: I haven't been myself since I lost my child.

Leon: There's more to it than that.

Sally: I'm...just worried about Riley. I hope she's okay.

Leon: She'll be fine Sally...there's nothing to worry about. Riley is tough as nails.

Sally: I just...wish there was a way I could protect all of you. I feel so helpless.

Fasha: We're doing everything we can.

Sally walks off.

Sally: No...I really don't believe we are.

10:00p.m.

Shawn and Bret are sitting in the room playing cards. Leon, Fasha and Elaine are getting ready to go out on guard duty for the night. Sally is cleaning up in the shower.

Fasha: So what's the plan for tonight?

Elaine: Well...I had an idea.

Leon: Let's hear it.

Elaine: Well. This place is so big. I think one of us should stay close to the Counsil's living quarters. Someone has been trying to kill Ed. For some reason he's the only one they have targeted.

Fasha: Maybe they feel he's the weakest and he'd be the easiest one to take out.

Leon: Lucky for him he's been able to dodge them every time. But your right Elaine. I'll stick close to the living quarters. You two should stick together.

Fasha: Okay.

Elaine: Sounds like a plan.

Sally walks out of the shower. She walks to her bed. Her clean night clothes are on her bed. Sally drops her towel and she puts her night clothes on. Leon walks to her.

Leon: Um. Sally.

Sally pulls her long hair out of her shirt and she brushes her hair back then she looks at Leon.

Sally: What's up?

Leon: Did you happen to see or encounter anything on guard duty last night?

Sally: No...Of course not. It was a long boring night. Nothing happened.

Leon: Okay.

Fasha: Strange that Ahsoka was the only one who saw someone.

Sally: Really?

Fasha: Yeah. She said she saw someone wearing a long robe. She couldn't see the person's face because they were wearing a hood.

Sally: Where is she anyway?

Leon: She's already out on guard duty. We're about to join up with her.

Sally: Hm...you think that person could have been the Sith we're looking for?

Leon: Possible.

Elaine: We better get out there.

Leon: Sure thing. Let's move.

Sally: Good luck.

Leon: Thank you.

Elaine: Take it easy Sally. Don't worry about us. We'll be okay.

Sally: I know.

Elaine, Fasha and Leon leave the room. Sally locks the door. She then walks over to her bed. She crosses her arms.

Shawn: Something wrong Sally?

Sally looks at Shawn and Bret.

Sally: Nothing...nothing at all...just worried about Riley.

Bret: Aw she'll be okay. I'm worried too.

Shawn: There's something else wrong. What's up Sally?

Sally: Its nothing. Don't worry about me.

Sally sits on her bed.

Sally: I've...got to find Palpatine. He has to know that power...I'm sure he can teach me.

Sally lays down and she covers up in her blanket. Shawn and Bret continue to play cards. Both men are shirtless. A fly is buzzing around the room. The fly lands on the table. Shawn smacks the table but he misses the fly.

Bret: Missed.

Shawn: Darn flies. So annoying.

Bret: I know. We're not gonna be able to get any rest until we kill that thing.

Shawn: Yeah. Its not bothering the girls right now.

Bret: Only cause its too busy annoying us.

Shawn: Do you think they enjoy annoying people?

Bret: Oh I'm sure of it.

They keep playing cards.

Shawn: You know Bret.

Bret: What's that Shawn?

Shawn: I've been thinking.

Bret: You've been thinking?! Now look here Shawn. What have I told you about thinking?

Shawn: No no. Its a good idea. Really.

Bret: If you think its a good idea then it must be a bad idea.

Shawn: Aw.

Bret: Okay okay. Let's hear it. What's this big idea of yours?

Shawn: It could make us millions.

Bret: Well what is it?

Shawn: We should build a fly catcher.

Bret: A fly catcher? Hm.

The fly lands on the table again. Bret smacks the table but misses the fly.

Shawn: Nyuk nyuk nyuk. You missed.

Bret: Shut up. I know.

Shawn: See...if we build a fly catcher then we won't have to deal with anymore annoying flies. I mean...everyone hates them.

Bret: Alright wise guy. How would we build it?

Shawn: I already know. The idea's been in my head since I was 10 years old.

Bret: Alright Shawn I'm on board. Let's go out tomorrow and buy supplies to start building it.

Shawn: Alright.

The fly lands on Bret's face. Bret shoos it away. It flies around then it lands on his face again.

Shawn: Wait...wait a minute. Hold still. I'll take care of this.

Shawn pulls up a mallet and he whacks Bret in the face with it but he misses the fly. Bret falls out of the chair and he hits the floor.

Bret: Oh! Oh! Oh!

Shawn: Oops...I didn't mean it...honest.

Bret: Its alright kid. Mistakes happen.

Shawn: You mean you forgive me?

Bret stares at Shawn.

Bret: Says who?

Bret grabs the stool he was sitting in and he gets up and he chases Shawn. Shawn runs into the next room.

Shawn: Woo! Woo! Woo!

Shawn and Bret run around the room. Shawn is on one side of Sally's bed and Bret is on the other side. Shawn holds his hands out.

Shawn: Hold it! I didn't mean to do it. You wouldn't strike me in front of a lady would you?

Sally lays there and she looks annoyed as she watches them.

Bret: What lady?

Sally looks angry as she looks at Bret.

Sally: Excuse me?

Bret looks at Sally.

Bret: Oh...sorry Sally.

Sally: That's what I thought.

Bret: Your not part of this Sally. I want Shawn.

Shawn: Oh no! No! No!

Bret swings the stool at Shawn but he dodges. Bret runs around the bed but Shawn jumps on Sally's bed.

Shawn: Ahh!

Bret jumps up on the bed. They run around the bed making sure to step over Sally. Sally just lays there.

Shawn: Come on. Let's shake on it and be pals.

Bret: I'm gonna bust your skull.

Sally: Guys.

Shawn: Oh no not that. Any place but the face.

Bret: Oh yes.

Bret swings the stool again but Shawn dodges. They run around the bed.

Sally: Ugh. Guys.

Shawn kicks the stool out of Bret's hand and it hits the floor. Bret tackles Shawn and they land ontop of Sally.

Sally: Ouch!

Shawn and Bret roll around and they get caught up in the blankets with Sally. They roll out of the bed and they hit the floor.

Shawn: No no no! Not in the face!

Bret: I'm gonna smash your face in! This will fix you!

Sally: Ouch!

Bret: Sorry Sally.

Shawn pulls the blankets away and he looks out into the room.

Shawn: Help! Help!

Bret's hand moves over Shawn's face and he pulls him back into the blankets.

Sally: Alright that's enough! Knock it off!

Bret and Shawn: Uh oh.

Sally crawls out of the blankets and she reaches back in and she takes Shawn by the hair and she pulls him out.

Shawn: Ouch. Ow. Sally. My hair.

Sally: Get over there.

Sally pushes Shawn into the wall. She then reaches back in and she pulls Bret out by the hair.

Bret: Oh oh oh.

Sally shoves him back into the wall next to Shawn.

Sally: Enough is enough.

Sally gives them a double smack.

Shawn and Bret: Oh!

Sally: Now knock it off! What started all this anyway?

Shawn: Ah. There's a fly in here. We were trying to kill it.

Bret: And Shawn hit me in the face with a mallet.

Sally crosses her arms.

Sally: A fly? Really? All this over a fly?

Shawn: Well they are annoying.

The fly flies around the room.

Bret: Shhh. There it is.

They watch the fly. It flies around and then it lands on Shawn's head.

Bret: Shawn. Its on your face.

Shawn: Oh no...what do I do?

Bret: Just hold still. I'll get him.

Before Bret can do anything. Sally uses her hand and she smacks Shawn killing the fly. Shawn's head slams into the wall.

Shawn: Oooff!

Shawn laughs goofy as he slides down the wall and he sits on the floor. He has a goofy smile as cuckoo birds are heard.

Sally: There. Maybe that will keep you two quiet.

Bret: Thanks Sally.
