“There, there,”
said Christine, patting her crying friend on the back. “It’s going to be okay.”
Teri lifted up
her head, still sobbing. “Why did I ever fall for him? I knew he was a bad
guy.”
Christine handed
her another tissue. “You fell for him because
he was bad. We girls are just attracted to ruffians. Remember how Princess Leia
couldn’t help falling for Han Solo, even though he was a reckless mercenary
with a price on his head?”
Teri blew her
nose into the tissue. “I just don’t understand how he could leave me so fast.
We were going to finish school together, and now he’s moving to Utah to be with
that floozy he met on spring break.”
Christine shook
her head. “Just like when Luke abandoned Yoda and his Jedi training to be with
his friends. It really shows what was most important to him.”
“I just can’t
believe it.” Teri dropped her head onto her friend’s shoulder. “It’s like he
was powerless to her… and I just stood by when she made him dump me!” She began
to cry again.
Christine put her
arm around Teri. “I know, I know… it’s like you’re in that scene when Luke
thought he was ready to confront Darth Vader, but Vader cornered him and cut
off his hand, causing his lightsaber to fall deep into the bowels of Cloud
City.”
Teri stopped
crying for a moment and looked up at Christine. “Wait, who am I in that
scenario? Luke or Darth Vader?”
“Neither,” said
Christine. “You’re the lightsaber.”
Teri let out
another wail and began to sob again.
