Two long lost lovers were fishing their favorite Dantooine river west of the city of Elysium. The female human, Seralyn, was from Tatooine and the male Zabrak, Sandviper, was from Dathomir. Their reunion was years in the making, as they first met 19 years ago as soldiers in the Rebel Alliance. Their duties would have them part ways, but they wouldn’t be too far from each other’s mind. Fate would bring the lovers back together as Sandviper retired to Elysium, Dantooine and Seralyn’s duties would have her posted south along the river in Qtopia.
Seralyn had her favorite spot, a small inlet of land where the fish liked to rest before swimming up river. Armed with her bazaar special fishing pole, 8 pound test line and chum bait, Seralyn quickly set to work to out fish Sandviper (who doesn’t like a friendly competition). She is a cast and reel girl, finding bobber and bottom bouncing boring. All of a sudden, she hooked what felt like a ton of nerf dung and took off downstream. She loosened the tension on her line so the fish could tire itself out. All of a sudden, SNAP. Ten seconds and it was over, though it felt like a lifetime.
Sandviper was fishing upstream, about 50 meters away when he hooked a large black colored fish. He had no trouble at all reeling it in, since he had years of fishing experience on Seralyn. He excitedly showed Seralyn his fish, proclaiming that he had caught a blackfish. However, Seralyn knew her marine biology and knew it was a laa. He pointed out that the fish didn’t have two antenna and it’s lower jaw didn’t protrude, so it must be a blackfish, even though the two fish are close in color. Seralyn pointed out that the blackfish only had 1 lower fin, while the laa had two small lower fins and it was possible that this laa was deformed. Sandviper adamantly stuck to the fact that he caught a blackfish and did not budge from the fact. Seralyn knew that attempting to change any fisherman’s mind on what fish he caught was futile, and that it be best that she let him have this win.
Happy fisherman, happy life.
But for the lover, she knew it was best to focus on the fish that got away.
