Petra sits with her drink infront of her and a mindless book before her. It was a soda pop, not water or juice like she usualy drinks. IT has caffine in it too!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Bonzo also knows what it's like to be on the wrong end of annihilation. Petra does not.

"I wouldn't be, either. The problem is being in the shoes of the one who got beaten."

"Well, as they'd be six feet under it really wouldn't matter now would it?"

Petra asks. Really, she has no tact.

"It wouldn't matter that I'm six feet under, either, would it?"

Tact for two, please.

"Well... Where I'm from you rather are."

"Does that matter to you at all?"

Petra shrugs slightly.

"I know you live here, so the Bonzo that died over there matters little to me. I rather like you better."

Bonzo grins.

"Thanks. The Bonzo over there also died in my world, in a way...I just replaced him."

That's said with a smile on his face, though it's a strange smile...

Petra decides not to comment on the smile.

"Well, if my Bonzo had gone through the change that you did I would be more willing to have him living."

"Point taken. But...yours obviously just walked into the bathroom, without any delays."

He pauses.

"Now, about you calling me a Force-crazed Jedi nut..."

Petra looks mildly innocent.

"Yes?"

"Why did you call me that?"

Petra shrugs,

"Because you are. You are completly and utterly obsessed with the jedi."

"I'd hardly call myself obsessed with them."

Pause.

"I find their philosophy to be somewhat more acceptable than Hyrum Graff's, however."

"Tell that to Anakin Skywalker."

Perta says evenly.

"Or Kyp Durron."

Bonzo glares at her.

"What about them?"

"I belive they both went 'dark' and killed millions."

Bonzo nods, and ponders that for a moment.

"And as I recall, that didn't put them on anyone's good side, aside from Colonel...er...Emperor Palpatine. Which wasn't very in keeping with the Jedi."

"The Jedi don't seem to be able to control what they create very well."

Petra isn't critzing. She just hasn't met enough Jedi.

Bonzo nods.

"Then again, do you think Graff is doing a good job as well? At least the Jedi don't -try- to wipe out things...at least they're trying to prevent killing."

"We've been over this Bonzo. We're never going to agree on it." Petra says rather tiredly.

"Can we go back into the bar?"

Bonzo nods.

"Sure. And...you should try to meet more of the Jedi, Petra. I get a feeling Anakin and Kyp Durron were quite the exception to the rule."

Petra shrugs slightly. "I can't really tell them appart from normal people."

Petra takes her words to heart and begins to walk towards the bar.

Bonzo nods and walks with her.

"That's because most of them are fairly normal. They just have a few talents and a good philosophy added."

Bonzo holds that in his heart as well...he's tired of being the 'bad guy' he was at Battle School, and abandoning that part of his personality has proven to be quite healthy.

"And look what it did to me?"

Petra grins.

"It turned you -weird-."

"Weird? As in not wanting to kill Ender?"

He smiles.

"Besides...all of us are a little weird. Battle School -did- change us."
