Me: So, Dooku...
Dook: Ah, right, so you've not abandoned me? /sarc Just come back whenever it suits you, don't mind me...
Me: *glare* What? I feed you, don't I?
Dook: Life in this closet is a bit dull when one is abandoned for years. That Doctor fellow over there is getting on my nerves. Always talking about bananas. And Walsingham over there *inclines head* He has nothing on me. I could tell him a thing or two about seduction.
Me: Leave him out of this, okay? I need to ask you something.
Dook: *deep breath* Very well...
Me: I've just watched "Attack of the Clones" again and --
Dook: Realised that the title is misleading?
Me: No! Let me finish!
Dook: *smirks*
Me: I've been thinking - whose side were you actually on?
Dook: *smirks*
Me: *arched brow* Well...?
Dook: Well, what?
Me: Well, think about it! Jango said he was hired by a man called Tyranus, which turns out to be you.
Dook: And?
Me: And I presume you knew what you were hiring him for?
Dook: *circumvents* Your point being?
Me: Well how come later, when the Jedi attack with their clone army, you wonder "how the Jedi came up with an army so quickly"?
Dook: *smirks*
Me: And when you tempt Obi-Wan - was that sincere? I mean, what if he'd agreed to join you? Would you have taken him back to Coruscant and tried to overthrow Sidious together? Or not?
Dook: *smirking even more*
Me: And did you kill Syfo-Dias? Did you pose as him and pay for the Clone Army and all that, or was it Sidious, or... what?
Dook: *looks up at ceiling, smiling* You've not got very far in the eight years since Episode II was released, have you?
Me: Shut up! I've been distracted...
Dook: Did it ever occur to you that maybe the Maker never thought this through himself?
Me: Yes, but still... I'd like to think there is an answer.
Dook: *looks at ropes tied around body* Well, how about you untie me from this chair and let me out of your imaginary closet, full of fanfic hostages, and we can talk about it?
Me: And what's in it for me?
Dook: *shrug* Do you want to get that Episode II re-write done or not?
Me: Maybe...
Dook: Then you shall need my cooperation. Be so good as to untie me and we can have some fun again. Just like old times.
Me: You do realise that you will be keeping your shirt and everything else on in this fanfic, don't you?
Dook: Of course. I'm eighty years old, you know.
Me: Didn't stop you before...
Dook: And on that subject, do you want my help in re-writing "Eclipse" too? Or can your blesséd Walsingham help you with that...?
Me: Okay, fine, you've made your point. *unties Dook* Come out into the light and welcome to 2010! ... And leave Walsie be... he's still got to help me finish my other fanfic...
Dook: You're not going to keep him waiting for three years whilst you finish his story, are you? I seem to recall hanging around in your head for at least that amount of time for "Eclipse".
Me: Oh, it could be worse - you could be like Barbossa over there. I don't think I'll ever finish his story...
Dook: Poor bastard...

(Yes, they all live in a closet in my head, of course. Didn't you know this? LOL.)
