3 Years Later

Anakin sighed, brushing the sand off of his lightsaber. Why did he always get stuck with missions to planets that had sand? It just wasn't fair!

At least I'm back on Coruscant now, he thought. But that didn't mean that the sand didn't decide to follow him.

"Evil sand!" he shouted, flicking it off. "I hate you!"

Luckily, the sand didn't answer him, so Anakin presumed it had died, and he went to go sit down in a chair.

Suddenly, Padme walked in. "Anakin!" she cried, running towards her husband.

Anakin sighed. "Oh hi, Padme."

"Guess what, Ani? I'm pregnant!"

"Oh, that's nice." Anakin said absentmindedly. "Just don't make me try to change a diaper or anything, okay? By the way, I hate sand."

"Anakin!" Padme yelled.

"What?" Anakin asked.

Padme groaned.

Anakin shuddered, turning over in his bed. He was having a terrible, terrible dream about sand attacking him. Dream- Padme walked in, carrying a baby.

"Here's your son!" she called, handing Anakin the baby. "You need to change his diaper!"

"No!" Anakin cried. "Padme!"

Suddenly, Anakin woke up in his own bed, with Real Padme standing over him.

"What's wrong, Ani? You were calling my name. Were you having a nightmare?"

Anakin nodded. "It was a terrible, terrible dream, and you-"

"Oh Anakin!" Padme cried. "I promise I won't die in childbirth!"

Anakin gulped. That wasn't exactly what his dream had been about, but whatever.

"You should go talk to Master Yodel." Padme insisted.

"Er, no."

"Why not?" Padme asked. "I don't want you to worry about me!"

"Well, um, I um…." Anakin trailed off, seeing Padme's look. "Oh, fine."

The Next Day

"Having nightmares, you are, young Skywalker?" Yodel asked. "Counting taun-tauns, suggest, I do."

Anakin scratched his head. "Well….. these nightmares. They're about sand. And um, diapers-"

"Clouded the future is." Yodel interrupted. "Interpretation of it can look sandy."

"No!" cried Anakin, "I hate sand! Why does it always have to come down to this?"

Ten Minutes Later

"Hey Anakin," Obi-Yawn called to his past apprentice, "We, the Council, of the Jedi Order, in order to find out if Palpatine's a Sith, ask you to spy on him."

"What?" cried Anakin. "You're asking me to spy on him? Why can't Yodel or Mace Windu or even you?"

"Because," sighed Obi-Wan, "You're his only friend. He would think it was kind of weird if anyone else started actually being nice to him."

"True," said Anakin. "Oh fine, I'll go!"

"Good. But don't tell anyone, okay? It's a secret spy mission."

—-

"So," said Palpatine as soon as Anakin had walked into his office, "The council sent you to spy on me."

"Yup," said Anakin, not missing a beat. "They told me not to tell you, but yeah."
