Week one: Interdimensional
“CHAPTER I: THE WATER WARS”
Barbara and Strickler had been enjoying a peaceful life in Arcadia. One day, Barbara accidentally touched an ancient magical stone that Jim had stumbled upon—a mysterious relic said to send anyone who touched it into another dimension.
In an instant, Strickler was swept up with her, and the two found themselves stranded on the distant planet Nevarro.
There, they encountered the Mandalorian, a legendary bounty hunter, and his adopted son, Grogu. With the pair’s help, Barbara and Strickler began searching for a way back to their own world.
But even the greatest adventures call for a moment of rest…. So, just for today, they set aside thoughts of returning home and joined Grogu for a lively game of Water Wars!.
Obviously, they’re doing this after the sun goes down.
Just a little headcanon of mine. 😂

Here are some random notes about this AU, including the setting and how Strickler and Barbara first met Mando and Grogu.
Since the Star Wars universe is such a dangerous place, I feel like Strickler and Barbara would first make sure they had weapons and other essentials. And I absolutely need Barb to use a broom as her weapon!
With Strickler by her side, Barb would feel pretty safe most of the time. She’s probably the more optimistic one, while Strickler stays on high alert to keep them both out of danger.
I can totally imagine the two of them gathering information in a cantina when Mando spots them. He takes one look at Strickler and goes, “Wait… green skin… long claws… Are you the same species as this kid?!” while pointing at Grogu. That’s how they end up meeting!
And I just know Barb would adore little creatures and babies, so I can totally picture her happily holding Grogu.

Meanwhile, while Barbara is happily holding Grogu, Strickler absentmindedly brushes a hand against one of Grogu’s ears, thinking, “A distant relative of NotEnrique, perhaps? The size is certainly comparable…” Or perhaps not. 😂
