Imaginary Friends and Kona
Ezra was sitting under his covers on his bed, talking to nothing. Zeb had been listening to Ezra from his lower bunk, and decided to go get Kanan.
"Kanan?" Zeb asked, knocking on Kanan's door.
"Come in, Zeb." Kanan said from the other side of the door.
"Uhh... I think Ezra has finally lost the lil' bit of his mind he had left. He is sitting under his covers talking to nothing." Zeb said.
Kanan sighed. "And I was going to try and teach him how to mind control today."
Zeb laughed. "That's all you're worried about?"
"Pretty much. I'm going to check on him." Kanan said, walking past Zeb and towards Ezra and Zeb's shared room.
"Ezra?" Kanan asked, knocking on the door.
"WHAT! I'M TALKING TO JIM!" Ezra yelled.
"Who?" Kanan asked confused, as he stepped into the room.
"Jim!" Erza said as he pulled the covers off of his head.
"... Who is Jim?" Kanan asked.
"Can't you see him? He is right there!" Ezra said, pointing a finger to the end of his bed.
"Ezra... If you see a person, I think you need to go to the doctor." Kanan said as he crossed his arms.
"NO! I HATE THE DOCTOR! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!" Ezra screamed, jumping up into the vents.
10 minutes later...
Kanan had gone to the cockpit, where Hera was piloting the ship.
"He said he was talking to a guy named Jim...?" Hera asked, looking at Kanan with a confuse and worried look on her face.
"Uh-huh." Kanan said, leaning back in his chair.
"Are you talking about me again?" Ezra said, appearing from out of nowhere.
"AHHH!" Kanan and Hera screamed.
"WHERE ON LOTHAL DID YOU COME FROM?!" Hera asked in a shaky voice.
"That shouldn't be your top concern right now. Kanan knows what happens to people that talk about me behind my back!" Ezra said, crossing his arms.
"W-we weren't talking about you!" Kanan lied.
"Liar. Jack heard you! Didn't you, Jack?" Ezra said, turning to his right, and listened to nothing.
Hera and Kanan looked at each other, and shared a worried look.
"... Ezra...? Who is Jack?" Hera asked, as she landed the ship in a field not far off from Ezra's Tower.
"Jack is right here!" Ezra said, motioning his arms to his right.
"Uh-huh..." Kanan said. "So where did 'Jack' come from?"
Ezra shrugged. "He was in the vents this morning."
"Ok... Well, Ezra... We are going to take you to see one of our friends. He is going to ask you questions and-"
"YOU'RE TAKING ME TO A DOCTOR?!" Ezra screamed.
"I told you that would be too obvious!" Kanan said to Hera.
"Well what else was I suppose to say?! 'Hey, Ezra! We are taking you to a clinic with a man in a white lab suite and he is going to pretty much give you a mental check!'" Hera barked back.
"I don't know!" Kanan said, turning his chair away and crossing his arms.
"I'M NOT GOING TO A DOCTOR!" Ezra screamed as he turned and ran down the hall.
"EZRA! GET BACK HERE!" Kanan yelled.
"NEVER!" Ezra screamed.
10 minutes later...
Ezra had run out of the ship, and had crawled into an underground cave he dug out near his tower a few weeks before he joined the crew of the Ghost.
Ezra was sitting on a rock, rummaging through his backpack, when he felt another presence in the cave. Ezra looked up from his backpack, and looked around the cave. At first, Ezra didn't see anything, so he looked back down into his backpack.
Ezra looked up again to the sound of a whimper. He stood up and walked in the direction of the whimper, and smiled at what it came from.
20 minutes later, back on the Ghost...
Kanan was walking past Ezra and Zeb's shared room, when he heard Ezra talking again. He sighed as he knocked on the door. "Ezra! Stop talking to Jack! He isn't real!"
"IS TOO!" Ezra shouted back.
"IS NOT! NOW STOP TALKING TO HIM!" Kanan yelled.
"I'M NOT! I'M TALKING TO KONA!" Ezra yelled back.
"WHATEVER! JUST STOP TALKING TO YOUR IMAGINARY FRIENDS!" Kanan yelled, as he turned and walked back to the cockpit.
In the cockpit...
"Ezra is now talking to 'Kona'." Kanan reported.
Hera sighed. "Well... I'll get the tranquilizer dart gun and you drag him to the clinic." Hera said, turning her chair to face Kanan.
Kanan thought for a minute. "That's kinda harsh... Let's go!" Kanan said, jumping up.
In Ezra's room...
Ezra was talking to Kona and telling her stories, not knowing Kanan and Hera were right outside his door, listening.
"Ready?" Kanan whispered to Hera.
"Ready." Hera whispered back. "One... Two... Three!"
At that moment, Hera and Kanan opened Ezra's door, and jumped inside. Hera aimed the dart gun at Ezra's arm, but paused when she saw a small, furry lump in his arms.
"What are you guys doing?!" Ezra asked.
"We are taking you to the doctor weather you like it or not!" Kanan shouted.
"NO!" Ezra screamed, backing up to the wall.
"Wait..." Hera said, lowering the gun. "What's that?" She asked, pointing to the furry lump in his arms.
"I already told you guys! This is Kona!" Ezra said, holding up a small Siberian Husky puppy. "I found her in my cave. Her paw was stuck in some grating that was in the ground." Ezra said, petting the puppy's head.
Hera and Kanan glanced at each other.
"Oh... Um..." Kanan said, searching for words.
"Why is 'Kona' on my ship?" Hera asked, crossing her arms.
"Because I brought her here. Duh!" Ezra said.
"Ezra! No pets! We have Chopper!" Hera said, motioning toward the droid who was conveniently rolling past the room.
"Nooo! He isn't a pet!" Ezra whined.
"Too bad! Give me the dog!" Hera said, taking a few steps towards Ezra's bed.
"NO!" Ezra screamed, hugging the puppy close to his chest. "SHE IS MY KONA AND YOU CAN'T HAVE HER!"
Hera took a step back, and stared at the teenager in front of her. She sighed.
"Fine. But you have to brush her, feed her, potty train her, leash train her, and make sure she has plenty of water! And if you can, train her to fight Imperials with us. She could be a big help when she gets bigger." Hera said, patting the pup on her head.
Ezra's eyes lit up. "You really mean I can keep her?!" He asked hopefully.
Hera smiled. "Yup! IF- You follow all of those rules I just laid down."
"I will!" Ezra said, hugging the puppy.
"Wait a second..." Kanan said, still trying to wrap his head around the situation. "So... He is keeping the dog... And... Huh? This day is making less and less sense by the second..."
"OH WELL! SABINE!" Ezra screamed, jumping off of his bed with Kona in his arms, and running to Sabine's room. "SABINE, GUESS WHAT?!"
"What is it, Ezra?" Sabine asked, turning around and seeing the puppy in Ezra's arms. "AWWWWWW!" She squealed, scooping Kona out of Ezra's arms. "She's so cute!"
"Her name is Kona! And guess what's?! HERA SAID WE CAN KEEP HER!" Ezra shouted.
Sabine's eyes lit up. "YAAAAAY!" She screamed, hugging the soft husky pup.
"COME ON! LET'S GO FEED HER AND GET HER A COLLAR!" Ezra shrieked, running down the hall, down the ship's ramp, and towards town.
"OK!" Sabine squealed, running after Ezra.
"So... We are keeping the dog?" Kanan asked.
A/N- Hey guys! OK! So I know you're probably wondering, "Why the name Kona?" Well, I had a black and white Siberian Husky named Kona when I was about 3, and she was hit by a car. I remember she was very beautiful, and she was odd eyed! (A blue eye and a green eye.) Anyways, I thought it would be a nice way to remember her if I put her in my short stories. :) Hope you guys don't mind! I'll try to update tomorrow on the way to church. Bye guys! ~Kaylie :)
