Jokesters- Anakin Skywalker x Reader

“Come on Anakin, you're so slow!” you whined, smirking at your friend.

“It's the way of a Jedi to take things carefully- one step at a time,” he replied, though he quickened his pace to match yours.

“Yeah, but it's not our way!” you shot back and Anakin just rolled his eyes, a slight grin sliding over his features.

“Just because I'm more adventurous than Master Obi-Wan doesn't mean I'll dishonour the ways of a Jedi!” he protested.

You stopped short, going into a defensive crouch as you whipped out your lightsaber. It was a bright blueish-green colour, glowing and humming softly as you cast your gaze around suspiciously.

“What is it?” Anakin asked in a hushed voice.

“I heard something.” you whispered, closing your eyes and looking concentrated before smirking at Anakin playfully, “I think it was the sound of a party-pooper!”

Your friend instantly scowled, standing up straight and glaring at you, “That's not funny [f/n].” he growled, crossing his arms over his chest.

You laughed, straightening and punching his arm lightly, “Come on Anakin, you know it was.”

“Let's just get going.”

You rolled your eyes, taking off after your fellow Jedi at a fast pace, your steps quick and silent. You had been running for awhile longer, barely breaking a sweat when a clicking, metallic sound met your ears.

“Anakin, get down.” you growled, dropping low and pulling out your lightsaber once more, though not activating it. No need to give your exact position away needlessly.

“Oh no, I'm not falling for that again.” the young Jedi replied, smirking.

“I'm not kidding Anakin!” you hissed urgently. “I really heard something!”

“Alright then [f/n], what did you hear?” he asked doubtfully, raising his eyebrows.

You opened your mouth to reply when laser-fire ripped through the sky. You dove forwards, yanking Anakin down and activating your lightsaber. “Droids!” you snarled, deflecting several bolts with your blade. “Maybe next time I say I heard something you'll believe me!”

Anakin scowled, pulling out his own lightsaber and leaping to his feet. “Maybe next time you won't crack jokes about it!” he snapped back as he blocked more of the droids weapons fire.

You rolled your eyes, “Can't you take a joke?” You leaped forwards, slicing your saber through the body of a droid. You turned slightly, smirking at Anakin, “That's one for me! I bet I can destroy more of them than you can!”

“It's a bet!” he shot back, twirling his lightsaber expertly before running forwards and taking out several droids in one stroke, “That's three!”

You scowled. You had made that bet and you weren't about to just let it go that easily. There were plenty of droids still firing on you both, you hadn't lost yet.

You twisted around, hacking the heads of two droids before whirling and slicing through the bodies of two more, “That's five!” you cried, deflecting several laser bolts back towards those who had fired them, “Make that eight!”

“You're loosing!” came Anakin's taunting call, “I'm at eleven!”

“Oh come on!” you muttered under your breath, ducking as another barrage of fire whizzed past your head. You flipped behind a group of droids, slashing your lightsaber in a wide loop, “Thirteen!”

“Fourteen!” Anakin shot back.

You growled in concentration as you continued to take down the droids with ease, slicing and hacking away with your lightsaber. Even so, Anakin kept easy pace with you and, as your numbers climbed, his continued to equal them.

Finally there was only one droid left. You leaped forwards, flipping in the air to dodge his laser-fire as you brought your lightsaber down in one final, decisive stroke. The droid fell into two halves, sparking and burning. You grinned and looked up, “Thirty-two!” you cried out triumphantly.

Anakin smirked, “You haven't won.” he pointed out.

You frowned, “What do you mean?”

Your fellow Jedi indicated all the smashed bits of droids scattered around him, “Thirty-two.”

Your face fell, “What? A tie?! Come on!”

Anakin grinned, jogging over and punching you arm playfully, “Until next time I guess.”

You rolled your eyes, “Until next time.” you agreed.

“Good. Now let's go find something else to blow up.”
