Padme was concerned. She didn't felt very comfortable asking favors like this, at least not asking Obi-Wan. However, there was no other option, she just couldn't figure out the best way to do this, and she was running out of time. It was now or never. Padme turned the 3D transmitter on and patiently waited him to answer. For about one minute nothing happened, she thought about turning it off, but then Kenobi's face suddenly appeared in front of her. Too late.
-Oh, hello Obi-Wan.
-Hello Padme, how are you doing? Can I help you? You don't look well. Has something happened to Anakin?
-No! Of course not, Ani is fine, he called me today, actually. He told me his not coming back till Friday.
-So, what is bothering you?
-Is just… I have this… Goodness, I hate asking you this!
-Asking me…?
-Could you please take care of Luke and Leia?
-What?
-Come on, please! I have this diplomatic mission that will take about one week, and I can't ask it for anyone else! They don't want stay with the droids and C3-PO is coming with me because Luke and Leia almost ripped out his head of last month! R2-D2 is with Anakin and Jar-Jar is afraid to being alone with them! They like you so much and…
-Padme…
-I can't leave they alone here. They haven't seen you for a long time and…
-Padme!
-What?
-I'd love take care of them.
-Really?
-Of course.
-But… you know it will be the whole week, don't you? I mean, till Ani is Back. How about the council?
-I wasn't feeling quite well at our latest encounter, so master Yoda told me to rest a bit. We can't do much till Anakin's return anyway.
-You don't know how much you helped me! Thank you!
-You Welcome. I got to go now. What time will my nephews arrive?
-About one hour from now would be ok for you?
-Sure. Good Bye, Padme.
-Good bye, Obi-Wan. And thank you again. – Kenobi smiled. His image flickered and then disappeared from the transmitter. Padme took a deep released breath before calling for her kids.
-Luke! Leia! Come over here! – The young blond-haired boy seemed really pissed and his brown-haired sister didn't look any happier than him once they shown up.
-We're not staying here! – Luke said before Padme could open her mouth.
-Take us with you, mom!
-You both know I can't do this.
-Mom! – They complained.
-You haven't even heard what I have to say!
-You want let us with the droids… - Luke grumbled.
-This is unfaior! – Padme laugh. She knew Leia was trying to repeat every complicate word she heard. And also knew her daughter meant to say 'unfair'.
-It's a pity. Master Kenobi will be very sad when I call him to tell that you both find unfair spend the whole week with him. - Their faces suddenly switched from upset to surprise and then very, very happy.
-Can we really stay with uncle Obi-Wan?
-Well, he said he'd love it. But if you don't want to I can call him and…
-No! – Luke and Leis screamed. – We love visiting uncle Obi-Wan!
-Yes, and also love play tricks with him. You know the politics here. Ono more complaining about you and your tricks and you be grounded for the month.
-Ok mom.
-Now go pack some clothes, he's waiting for you.
Luke and Leia were just so cute when they smiled that Padme almost forgot all the tricks they played. Almost.
