Ender's Swingin' Bachelor Pad, Naboo [Wednesday, Fandom time]

The nice thing about how time worked on Naboo was that even a few days away from Fandom meant that Ender and Ben had gotten almost a week to themselves to unwind.

Now the fridge was restocked, the rooms were prepared and the droid Ben had made was bustling industriously around getting rid of dust bunnies.

Ben and Ender were ready for their Fandom (and other universes!) invasion.

Stop by, say hello to your hosts, go swimming, make your own OCD threads...

That last one will be a theme.

Or go exploring Naboo's capital city, where you can find interesting buildings, alien souvenirs, Jedi action figures, statues of Ben's grandmother...

Oh, and food. Lots of food.

Where you can go swimming and nothing will eat you! Ben's pretty proud of that.

Where Ben will be inviting the guys to see some Cultural Dancing.

With beer. Ender will have control of Ben's comlink.

Swim! Get some sun! Picnic and try to ride on a local herd animal like some kind of freak!

More culture!

Ben's attempting to cook tonight. Be afraid.

If you made friends with a cultural dancer or something.

I think that covers everything!

"Kiss kiss!" Karla's holler was loud and enthusiastic. "Guys! Guys! We're here!"

In case they'd missed the memo or something.

"Come out and say hello or I'm going to help myself to whatever I can find in the kitchen!"

She mostly meant it as a threat to eat all of the ice cream. Everyone else likely took it another way entirely.

"Hi!" Ben said, racing out and giving her a giant hug. "Please don't cook for us!"

Karla laughed, squeezing him back tightly. "Who said anything about cooking?" she asked. "I was just going to help myself to whatever looks delicious!"

Though, now that he mentioned it...

It was days like this that Warren was thankful for Karla's ability to just vanish things. Because the amount of unnecessary crap that they'd packed... well, he didn't want to be the one carrying it.

And yes, that was one of the thoughts still going through his head as he surveyed their surroundings.

"I'm on a different planet," he said, not for the first time since he and Karla had arrived. "Right this very moment, we're on a different planet. Like, in a different galaxy."

Kaeleer was a different world, too, but this was different, okay?

Ben beamed at him. "You are," he confirmed. "And later we'll go experience cultural dancing!"

Twi'lek dancing girls.

"We got tons," Ben said. "It should hold you over for a day or two." He grinned. "They have candy here called nommi."

SHUT UP SHE NEEDED ALL OF THOSE THINGS.

"Yup!" Karla said, beaming. "And Naboo is amazing. There are so many places to eat!"

Naboo was cool for other reasons, too, but Karla was really hungry, okay?

"You really never, ever been off-planet before? I was a freshman my first time. Ben took Ender and me out to Saturn--or was it Jupiter?--for lunch one day."

"Nommi?" she repeated, laughing. "You know we'll have to try some, don't you? And figure out some way to get it shipped to Kaeleer if that particular future ever comes true."

"Culture!" Warren laughed, grinning right back at Ben. "I'm a big fan of culture!"

Look, his experience with culture back at the Hall had involved him putting on pretty princess make-up. He was itching to see what sort of multicultural experiences Naboo could offer. Preferably of the sort that would be as far removed from mastering how to apply kohl as possible.

"I really can't go?" Karla asked Ben before they left. "That is ridiculously unfair."

"Second shelf from the refrigerator unit," Ben told her, eyes twinkling. "The gummy things."

"Never," Warren confirmed. "Casual space travel isn't really a thing yet back home, and pretty much all of my travelling after starting school at Fandom was between different versions of Earth, and Kaeleer."

Rapture had been underwater, but Earth. That was about as far from the usual that he'd ever wandered.

"... You had lunch on Saturn?"

Warren was going to assume it was Saturn. The gravity on Jupiter would have been something worth making mention of, if that's where they'd gone. Maybe. Space travel wasn't exactly Warren's strongest subject, either.

"And drinks that are blue!"

Don't let him drink the blue ones, Warren.

Warren would let Ben drink them only on the condition that he could have a few for himself. Did they card in space? Did Warren care?

"And what's in the blue ones?"

... Space things, Warren. Space things.

That stymied Ben for a moment.

"...blue stuff? Oh! And alcohol."

"Yep," Ben said, grinning. "It's a guy's night. You're not a guy."

There was a pause. "Please don't change gender like Illyria did at the fraternity booth. That was terrifying."
