The date is May 25th, 2016. Today is the birthday of the twins.

"Leia wake up!" Luke yanked off his sister's sheets. "It's our birthday!"

Leia instantly jumped out of bed and hugged her brother.

"Happy birthday Luke!" she whispered into his ear as they hugged each other tightly.

The two seven year old children ran down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"Where's mom and dad? They would usually be down here, Dad watching the podracing segment on Good Morning Coruscant and Mom making breakfast." Luke thought aloud as his sister picked up a small piece of paper and read it.

"Look, it says that we need to go to the backyard." Leia grabbed her brother's hand and took off to the back door. They stared in awe at the new tree house built between the large branches. The twins slipped on their shoes and climbed up the ladder to be greeted by plates of eggs, bacon, and pancakes.

"Happy birthday guys!" Anakin said as he hugged his children. "I've called the school and told them you two were sick, so now you have the day to do what ever you want. Luke, what do you want to do today?"

"I want to go to the Tosche Station Arcade and play that new game called Power Converters!" Luke managed to say while chewing his food.

"Princess?"

"I want to go to the Nubian fashion show at the mall, maybe get a dress?" Leia hinted, receiving a smirk from her father.

"We'll see about that." Anakin said as he descended down the ladder.

"I'm sorry Ani, I'm not going to be able to come home today. We are holding elections for the new Chancellor. Palpatine was an ally of Plagueis's and was found sending out top secret Army information." Padme said as she paced around her office, beads of sweat beginning to fall down her face.

"That's terrible. Who are the candidates for the election?" Anakin asked, making her stop in her tracks.

"Well they chose Senator Bail Antilles of Alderaan and...and..."

"And who, angel?"

"And me, Ani. They want me to be the Supreme Chancellor." Padme began to tear up, but held back her tears.

"That's wonderful."

"It's not. If I'm elected, that takes away most of my freedom and it just won't be the same anymore."

"Is it that bad?" Anakin asked, quietly sneaking his kids in the car.

"Yes, it is. Well anyways, its a little after nine. Are the kids at school yet?"

"Yeah, they are. Um. I guess I'll see you later then?" Anakin panicked.

"I guess so." Padme knew something was up.

Anakin let the kids stay home.

"Ha, eat that loser." Luke yelled as he eliminated the last enemy star fighters in the game. Anakin and Leia stood to the side as they watched Luke attempt to beat the highest score, and he did by one point. By the time he finished, half of the arcade was watching. The crowd cheered when the young boy stood up from his game.

"You did me proud, son!" Anakin hugged his son. "One day you could be a great pilot, just like me!"

"Good job Luke!" Leia congratulated her brother by giving him a high five.

The trio played more games until it was time to leave for Leia's fashion show.

They took their seats and Leia started to go into her fashion mode.

"Woah, that's from the Trisha Biggar collection!"

After an hour of women walking up and down the runway and Leia occasionally annoucing the designer's names, the show ended. On the way out the door, men in suits stopped the family.

"Hello sir, I am Agent Panaka and this is my partner Agent Typho. Please come with us." one of the men spoke.

Anakin gave an assuring look to his children as they followed closely behind their father and the agents.

When the exited the mall, the family car was awaiting their arrival.

"We apologize for not explaining what we are doing. Chancellor Amidala-Skywalker sent us out to bring you to her office."

"Mom's the Chancellor now?" the twins asked excitedly.

Agent Typho nodded.

They arrived to a large group of reporters at the Senate building. Countless flashes and voices followed them to the entrance where Padme was waiting.

"Happy Birthday my sweet children." Padme kneeled down and embraced her young twins. "This wasn't the gift i was planning on giving you, but I hope it's okay with you two."

"Mom, this isn't a bad gift at all to be honest." Luke explained.

Leia nodded

"Honestly this is the coolest and strangest birthday we've ever had."
