Wow. Different from my other stories! Inspired by chapter 9 of It's Me or You. (Still writing, so don't go look and see why.)
Anakin and the Beanstalk
Nine year-old Anakin Skywalker lived with his mother Shmi on Tatooine. They weren't very wealthy and were completing chores all day. Anakin would sometimes look up to the sky and wish for a better life. When Anakin wasn't busy, Shmi would allow him to have his friend Kitster come over. The two young boys would run outside and let their imagination run wild. One afternoon while Kitster was over, Shmi needed Anakin to go into Mos Espa and sell their droid; C-3PO. Anakin and Kitster then took C-3PO into town. Both boys were looking for just the right person to buy 3PO. Anakin then noticed a tiny green man who was sitting in the middle of the road.
"Excuse me sir, you're in the middle of the road." Anakin said to the long eared man. He stood up and looked up to Anakin.
"Hmm, I am. Protocol droid that is?" the little man asked Kitster and Anakin.
"It is sir. Would you like to buy him?" Anakin asked him. The little man nodded.
"I would. In exchange for these three seeds. Hmm?" Kitster looked at Anakin who was deciding on the offer.
"What do the seeds grow?" Anakin asked.
"Whatever you would like." He replied. Anakin smiled to Kitster.
"We'll take it!" Anakin said finally. The little green man handed Anakin the seeds and took C-3PO.
'Protocol droid I am in need of. Thank you." The green man said. Anakin walked back to his home. Kitster had walked back to his. Anakin came in the house and showed his mother the seed.
"Mom! Look at these seeds Kitster and I got!" Anakin said cheerfully to his mother.
"What do they grow?" Shmi asked as she looked over them.
"The little green man said 'whatever we want it to grow'." Anakin replied to his mother.
"Then why don't you go find out." Shmi said to her overjoyed son. Anakin smiled and ran outside. He found a spot in front of his window to plant it. A little droid then scooted out of the house and came up next to Anakin.
"Oh hey Artoowie. Look at these seeds Kitster and I got in town today!" The blue and white droid beeped. Anakin smiled as he placed the seeds in a hole he dug with his hands. He patted the sand and dirt mixture on top. Anakin got up and climbed through his window and fell onto his bed. He walked over to the facet in the kitchen and got a glass of water. With the glass in his hand he climbed back through the window and poured the water on where he planted the seeds.
"Anakin! Bedtime!" Shmi called to Anakin. He climbed in the window and landed on his bed. R2 rolled in came next to his bed. Shmi walked in and planted a kiss on Anakin's forehead. She ran her fingers through his dirty blonde hair.
"I hope those seeds grow." Shmi said to him. Anakin smiled and hugged his mother.
"Goodnight Mom."
"Goodnight Ani. Sweet dreams." She said to him as she shut off the light.
It was around two in the morning when R2 woke up. He beeped to wake up Anakin. He rolled over and rubbed his eyes.
"What is Arto-OOOO-wie?" Anakin asked the droid. (Lol, he yawned if you didn't catch that)
R2 beeped once again and Anakin got up and walked over to turn the light on. He looked back at R2 and noticed something in the window. Anakin ran to his window.
"R2! The seeds grew!" Anakin said excitedly. "It looks like a…beanstalk?" Anakin said as he stepped on a huge leaf. R2 beeped.
"I'm gonna go have a look Artoowie." Anakin said as he started up the tall beanstalk. He climbed up and up and up. It started to become foggy. Anakin then realized the beanstalk was fading away. He stopped climbing and realized he could walk on the fog. Excitedly, Anakin jumped on the fog. He ran and came back and noticed a forest. The beanstalk wasn't in sight.
"Where'd it go?" Anakin asked himself as he became worried. He started to wander in the forest. "Was it in here?" It was a dark forest and only a little light shined through. He stopped when he though he heard someone. It sounded like humming. It stopped. Anakin became a little frightened. The forest was very dark; full of gundarks, and zillos and nunas, Oh my! He heard rustling in the bushes nearby. Anakin stepped closer. All of a sudden, a girl with blue and white headtails jumped on him.
"Who are you?" she demanded. The girl had orange skin and white markings on her face. She had Anakin pinned down and he couldn't move. He was even more scared now.
"Um um um…" Anakin hesitated. The range skinned girl loosed her grip and let go. She sat there on top of Anakin staring at his face waiting for an answer.
"Well? Who!" she yelled again. Anakin started shaking. The girl tilted her head and placed her hands on her hips. "Wait, you're a human right?" Anakin nodded at the girl. She smiled and got up off him. "I'm a Togruta. The names Ahsoka Tano." The girl said as she offered her hand to Anakin.
"Um, hi…Ahsoka?" Anakin said with a shaky voice. Ahsoka frowned.
"I'm sorry if I scared you. I though you were a gundark."
"Oh." Anakin replied.
"So…where you from?" Ahsoka asked him as Anakin brushed off the dirt that was on him.
"Tatooine."
"Where the heck is that?" she asked him.
"I really don't know." Anakin replied to Ahsoka. She laughed.
"Oh well, welcome to Shili!" Ahsoka said raising her hands up and twirling around. Anakin giggled.
"Where are you going with that?" Anakin asked pointing to her basket. She stopped spinning and picked up the basket.
"I'm going to my grams house. Wanna come?"
"Ugh, sure." Anakin said as Ahsoka waved him to follow her. They walked some way until Ahsoka said she was thirsty.
"Hey dude, let's stop at that cottage over there!" Ahsoka said as she ran over to a cottage she was pointing at. They walked up to the door and knocked. The door was open and they walked inside.
"Ahhh!" Anakin shouted as he saw a brunette girl around Ahsoka and his age sitting at a table.
"Who are you!" Ahsoka yelled. The girl stood up.
"Who wants to know?" the brunette girl asked.
"Us!" Ahsoka yelled to the girl.
"Fine. I'm Padme. And you are?" she huffed.
"Ahsoka and my friend…ugh…what's your name?" Ahsoka asked Anakin.
"Anakin-"
"My friend Anakin." Ahsoka said to Padme. She smirked.
"Oh." Padme said. Anakin saw from the corner of his eye a gundark.
"Gundark!" he shouted to the girls. They looked out the door and saw three coming. Padme and Ahsoka climbed in a cabinet. Anakin followed. "Were gonna be caught-"
"SHHHH!" The girls screeched as they cupped Anakin's mouth.
"Why were you in gundark cottage?" Ahsoka whispered to Padme who was on the other side of Anakin.
"Well gundarks make the best porridge." Padme said before the Papa Gundark walked in.
