Disclaimer: Joss owns "Buffy," Lucas owns "Star Wars," I own my coffee mug.
AN: This series of drabbles was originally written for the Paradise Lost November Drabble-a-Thon challenge.

Part One Part Two Part Three
Prompt: Action
"Buffy, get down!" Obi-Wan shouted, sensing the approach of a squadron of battle droids. She crouched down just as the droids began firing at them.
"You sure know how to show a girl a fun time, Ben!" she shouted over the noise, taking aim and firing back. "When I said I wanted to go to the beach, I didn't mean to Waterworld here being shot at by Terminator wannabes." Anakin, Shak Ti, and Alpha-17 had joined them at this point and the five for them made quick work of the remaining droids.
"I'll make sure the Separatists are aware of your planet preferences, so they'll know which ones to target," Obi-Wan replied, using his free hand to help Buffy to her feet. "Of course, seeing that doing so would be beneficial to the Republic, I doubt they'd do so if only to spite you."
"Enough talk, the next wave's coming through," Alpha barked at them, while Anakin and Shak Ti just ignored the bickering duo. They could hear the approaching footsteps of the battle droids getting louder.
"You know, my life would be so much easier if you would just give me one of those glow sticks," Buffy managed to get out before she began targeting the moving buckets of bolts. She'd never really liked the concept of droids too much; they were a bit too much like Ted for her peace of mind, and these killing machines did nothing to change her opinion.
"Why does that thought terrify beyond belief?" he countered, parrying a series of blaster bolts away from them with his lightsaber and back into the droids, not bothering to correct her.
"Don't," she paused in the middle of her sentence so that she could get a better shooting angle before continuing, "you trust me?"
"No trick questions, please," he said stepping back as he continued to deflect the shots fired at them as they made their way through the cramped Kaminoan hallways. He couldn't see Buffy's reaction, but he could guess what it was.
"Master, droideikas," Anakin shouted as the whirling circles approached them. Shak Ti and Obi-Wan stepped forward, attempting to intercept them as Buffy and Alpha kept firing. Fortunately, the two Jedi were able to halt the droids before they managed to unfurl.
"We need to keep moving, not just stand here talking," the trooper snapped at them, checking his gun. "Those droids are heading towards the third generation of clones, and we need to get there before they do." The group raced towards the labs, following Alpha-17.
"You still having fun?" Obi-Wan asked Buffy slyly as they ran side by side. She snorted in derision.
"What do you think?" she asked, skidding slightly around a corner, only to have him catch her. "A girl likes to be fired on now and then, just not all the time."
"Well, you best get used to it," he advised as his ears caught the sound of more droids approaching. "Because it's just getting started."
