I know that most of you want me to be working on my Twilight story, but I have the dreaded writer's block! I have decided to use Star Wars as my personal outlet.

Normal POV
"But mommy! We don't wanna take a bath!" Luke and Leia complained.
Padmé sighed. She was exhausted from trying to get the six-year-old twins to take a bath. It was like this every night. Always ending with water every where. All she had wanted was for one time things to go smoothly. That obviously wasn't going to happen.
"Why won't you two take a bath?" Padmé asked them, irritated.
"Well, we are just gonna end up getting dirty again," Leia said to get like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Luke nodded his head.
"But daddy is taking his shower right now. Why can't you guys take one like him?" Padmé asked, hoping to persuade them.
"He's a grown up. Grown ups need to shower for when they go to work. We don't go to work, so we don't have to take a bath," Luke said, rather proud with himself for knowing such things.
Padmé, not wanting to deal with the bath time situation, sighed in defeat, "Fine, you two can take it tomorrow morning. I'm going to have a long conversation about this with your father tonight though."
The twins quickly got their pajamas on and ran to the bedroom they both shared. They then hopped on their bunk beds with Leia on top.

Padmé and Anakin POV
When Padmé went to her and Anakin's bedroom, she found Anakin standing their with a towel hanging loosely around his waist while he used another to dry his hair. His back was to her, but he knew she was standing behind him even with footsteps as quiet as hers.
"What have I told you about using two towels, Anakin?" she asked teasingly.
"Would you rather I use this towel?" he retorted while turning around to show Padmé he was holding up the towel that was previously hung around his waist. He just stood there in his birthday siut, smirking at Padmé who was laughing at him.
"Put some clothes on!"
…
"You look like you really needed that laugh," Anakin said to her while smiling after he had got on some boxes and they were all settled under their covers.
"The twins refused to take a bath, once again. I wish that, just once, it would not be a battle to get them in the tub," Padmé told him. He hated seeing her so distressed.
"Maybe we should think of a plan to get them to take a bath?" Anakin suggested. Padmé raised an eyebrow.
"Are we that desperate?"
"I think so," he replied while chuckling. Padmé sighed.
"Any suggestions?"
They both sat up in their bed and started thinking of plans. Suddenly, Anakin stood up.
"I got it!" he yelled.

Luke and Leia POV
When Padmé left, Leia jumped off her bunk bed and told Luke to get up.
"Why do I have to get up?" Luke whined. He was just about to fall asleep.
"Look Luke, do you wanna take a bath?" Leia asked him. He shook his head, "Well, mommy is talking to daddy about making us take a bath. Maybe if we listen in on them, we could prevent them from making us take a bath!"
Luke's eyes widened, "But what if daddy catches us? He's a Jedi Knight!"
"I think this time will be different. He'll be too distracted by thinking of ways to get us in that tub! Let's go listen to them."
"Wow Leia, sometimes you can be very smart," Luke told her as they went around the house to their parents' room.
"Shhhh! Do you want to get us caught?!" Leia exclaimed. Luke shook his head.
When they got to their parents' room, they saw that the door was closed. They pressed their ears against the door to try and hear what was going on on the other side.
"Maybe we should think of a plan to get them to take a bath?" they heard. It sounded like their father.
"I told you they were thinking of plans!" Leia whispered to Luke. He gave her an apologetic smile.
"Any suggestions?" Their mother asked. Suddenly it got very quiet.
"What's going-" Luke never got to finish his sentence.
"I got it!" both twins jumped, frightened by their dad's sudden outburst.
"What?!" their mother exclaimed.
"I could use one of my Jedi mind tricks on them! Man, why haven't I thought of this before?" Luke and Leia rolled their eyes.
"Because it would never work," Padmé said exactly what the twins were thinking.
"You don't know that," Anakin said.
"Our children are very smart," the twins beamed behind the door.
"Mommy thinks I'm smart, why don't you?" Luke whispered to his sister.
"You're the kid who almost got a pretzel stuck in your nose," he stuck his tongue out at her.
"Now shhhh, they're talking again," Leia told him.
"It's worth a try," Anakin said. There was silence, then a sigh.
"Fine, we can try your mind trick thingy," Padmé surrendered. The twins had heard enough and headed back to their bunk beds. When they got back, they devised a plan of their own.
