Shmi POV

"We're here."

Baron Ka. I've never heard that name before. Perhaps there is some sort of idea that involves me with this man. During the years I was sorely pregnant, this man had always been by my side. He was there to hold Anakin. As promised, he protected us from everything that could harm us. Tusken raiders found that out the hard way when they tried to face this man. I grew to at least view him as a brother figure, as he didn't want to commit to marriage for some reason.

Also, as promised he trained Anakin. Before Ani even knew how to walk he was spouting flames from his hands. A normal mother would generally be concerned by this, but when your caretaker can put your house back together in less than a second, you gain a sense of humor for it. I remember when he was teaching Ani about how to use the Force. Specifically, Force flame.

"Ok Anakin, ready?"

"Yes, Uncle Baron! You'll be so proud of me!"

"Hahaha, I already am Anakin. But remember what I taught you, control is the key. You must be able to control the flames to know how powerful you are in the force."

"Hmm.. Like THIS?!"

That day, the house burned down the first time, Anakin's flames were spiraling out of control. I've seen that kid perform fireballs the size of Krayt dragons. As distraught. As I was, Baron was still laughing.

"WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?! DON"T YOU SEE WE DON'T HAVE A HOME TO COME BACK TO?!"

"Relax Shmi, watch."

With a snap of his fingers, everything soon was restored back to it's rightful position. Every object was as good as new. I was still mad at Baron, as he let it happen, but he always kept his part of the bargain. As we walked inside the house an overwhelming feeling overwhelmed me. The heat on Tatooine was unbearable for most days, so it was best to always be around at night, where it would be cold enough to even do any work. Work was all that could be done anyways. You either worked or got shot on this planet.

Anyways, Baron taught anakin to use the Force in any activity he was doing. Whether it was washing dishes, bringing out the food, or taking a bath, Anakin would always use the force to turn on the faucet or use the object. Baron did the same thing when he set up the kitchen. Boy could that man ever cook. I just kept wondering though, "why me?"

Baron POV

Today we're having Carkor lizard with ranberries and leksu soup on the side. Carkor lizards are considered a pest on their native planet, and thus you could buy one for half a credit on the planet Carkoria itself. But since Tatooine is on the other side of the galaxy, you're luck to find this kind of meat for anything below 20 credits.

I usually char the meat and let it simmer in fat, but because of Tatooine's dry climate the fat is as dry as the sand under my feet. So I broil them in ranberry juice, a tangy fruit that grows on Tatooine which adds spicyness to the flavour. Cook at 180 degrees celsius in a pot for 15 minutes, and the texture can be described as gamy, almost like Alderaan Swan. Next up was Leksu soup. Leksu was a kind of plant that was grown on Naboo. Again, due to distance, it was dried up in the desert heat. On Naboo, the plant had high amounts of antioxidants to provide for a healthy immune system. However, when dried, most of those antioxidants were lost. So, buying water on Tatooine certainly wasn't cheap, but it got us what I liked to call a sweet soup.

Set the pot to boil and it's done in ten minutes. Why am I telling you all of this? I don't even know myself.

Dinner was per the usual. Anakin talking to his mother about how much he learned from seeing me use the force, and me reporting on his progress. But today, I feel like it was time to start a new form of Force Training.

"Anakin. Tell me this, do you know what a lightsaber is?"
