Aren't You a Little Short for a Storm Trooper?


It's three days since I returned home after my stay in the hospital and I am beginning to feel much better but I am also very bored. I'm still on room rest, meaning I don't get to leave the bedroom, but at least Mams-Mams and Monkey butler spend all day in it with me. They have brought their laptops in (which they inexplicably use for 'Work' and not for watching Squirrel Video's on The You Tubes' like they should).

Anyway, in order to alleviate the boredom, I have decided to assist monkey-butler with my blog. Today I am going to write up the story of how I finally got out of the Vet-Star and was brought home. This is a story I call...

...A New Hope!

I had lost track of how long I had been held captive by the forces of the Empire in the sinister Vet-Star. My cell was one of several others in the detention block where from time to time other prisoners would be brought and kept in one of the smaller cells. Due presumably to my royal lineage, I was being held in the largest cell in the detention block and was even permitted occasional exercise around the rest of the detention block wing in which I was being held captive. I had almost given up hope of rescue when one day there came a commotion from the annexe and in burst two suspiciously short stormtroopers, one of which seemed suspiciously familiar. I watched them from my cell with a degree of caution until the familiar one removed her helmet and revealed herself to be the beautiful princess Mam-Mams! Here to rescue me with Tia – Solo. By now the imperial forces had discovered the escape attempt and were pumping troops into the area to hinder our escape but they were no match for the bravery of Mam-Mams and the sheer dumb luck of Tia-Solo who fought their way through the gathering imperial ranks, heading for the landing bay and repeatedly muttering that they hoped Monkey-Butler had managed to 'Switch off the Tractor Beam' – although what ploughing a field had to do with our daring escape is beyond me!

Eventually, we fought our way through the seemingly endless imperial hordes and found our way to the landing bay and there, on the central pad, was the Linoleum Falcon! Tia-Solo and Chris-Bacca's ship. Under heavy fire from the imperial forces of the Vet-Star and their swarms of Tie-Fighters, we tumbled into the waiting Linoleum Falcon and made the jump to the Stanley system where the rest of the Rebel Alliance awaited and another daring adventure went down in the annals of history! - Ekanath Rex (Footnote from Monkey Butler. I may have to stop letting Ekanath watch classic SF movies late at night!)
