Padme came from her shared home with Anakin and stepped close to him while the couple stood unknowingly below the levitating Justin. The latter watched the pair speak and turned his eyes to see a returning Gary slowly descending into the window that had been left ajar by Justin minutes ago. Justin rushed over to the window, the sound of an engine piercing the sky that was caught in his path, and advanced into the home. Gary was sitting at the table where the four had consumed their meals together and Justin approached him with fragile steps.
"Quit trying to be sneaky," Gary said. "The lovebirds are too busy playing console to hear you."
"Are we at the part where he has the nightmare about her dying in childbirth?" Justin asked.
Gary nodded his head.
"So that means they won't be around each other tomorrow," Justin said.
"Don't be too sure," Gary replied. "We still don't know how our being around is changing things."
"You're right. It'd be great if we could change things for the better though."
Padme and Anakin returned to the inside and the still-awake Justin and Gary sat at the table in near silence in the moments following this, both throwing their heads to the direction of the closed door to Anakin and Padme's room when they heard it open. Anakin revealed himself, and stepped over to the table, the pair's eyes staring intently at him.
"I've got some things to take care of," Anakin said. "And in the last couple of hours, I've realized you're not the biggest thing I have to worry about."
"Bigger fish indeed," Gary muttered with a grin.
"I don't think you'll do anything directly to Padme, but there's something else out there that will."
"So what are you asking us to do?"
"When I'm not around, protect her from whatever that thing might be."
Justin, having remained silent during the exchange, rose from his seat, and extended his hand to Anakin.
"I don't have any problem doing that for you," Justin said.
Anakin gave him a brief smile, moving to the closed door and going through it before shutting it behind himself again.
"I THINK HE'S WARMING UP TO US," Gary said loudly.
"Can you do that thing with your thumb and skip these boring parts?" Justin asked.
Gary pressed down on the thumb of his right hand and Justin stared at him.
"Is that thing malfunctioning? I'm not seeing a difference."
"Don't doubt my thumb. It's just taking some time to show the effects."
The sun rose shortly thereafter, and Gary removed pressure from his thumb.
"They should be waking up in a few minutes," Gary said.
The door then unlocked, Anakin walking out first and Padme following moments afterward. The pair kissed and Anakin gave a brief stare to Justin before departing. Padme turned to look at the two teens while Gary stared at his arm and Justin stood next to him.
"What's the deal with your arm?" Justin asked.
"I think it's broken," Gary said, looking at Padme for a moment while he walked past her. "I better go get it fixed by somebody that fixes things."
Gary closed the door behind him.
"I'm guessing your friend wants to spy on Anakin," Padme said.
"Seems like," Justin replied. "Do you need any help with anything?"
"No."
Padme moved toward her bedroom, leaving the door ajar. Justin stiffly stepped closer to the door.
"I don't think Gary is following him," Justin said, Padme turning to look at him. "I don't know for sure but he might be trying to explore."
She stared at him, Justin turning his back to her and moving to sit at the table.
"How did you know about us?"
Justin paused, staring into her eyes.
"We're not of this world," he said. "We are capable of seeing aspects of your life via invisible cameras that are...placed depending on where higher deities determine them to be."
She looked at him as though to check his sincerity and he stared back at her with a determination that his statements be validated in her mind as much as possible.
"Anakin won't be back until tonight probably," Padme said. "And if your friend doesn't come earlier, that means it's just you and me for the rest of the day."
"Doing what?" Justin asked.
"Talking. Maybe you could tell me more about where you're from."
Padme moved to sit at the table and Justin took a seat next to her.
"First things first," Padme said, "are you really going to reveal my marriage?"
"Probably not," Justin told her, "but Gary might."
"So you're the nicer of the two?"
In seconds, Justin shook his head.
"Gary's one of the nicest people I know. I think he's mainly doing that so you talk to us."
"I would think two nice guys would keep the secret and let us live our lives."
"I'm not a nice guy, and I want to be involved with your lives."
"Why?"
"Because we can save you from what we know will happen if we're not involved."
"You're psychic too?"
"As far as the events of the next few days, yes."
