Anakin and Padmé were both thoroughly confused.

"I thought you said that she went back to Kamino," Anakin whispered to Obi-Wan.

"I thought she did," Obi-Wan replied.

"Don't everyone welcome me at once," Taun We said sarcastically.

Padmé was the first to remember her manners. "It's, um, nice to see you again," she greeted her. "Please, come in."

"What do you want?" Obi-Wan demanded as Taun We stepped inside.

"I just forgot a couple of things," Taun We informed him, calm and serene as always.

"What things?" wondered Padmé as she began to search the apartment. "I don't see-"

"I think they're in the other room," interrupted Taun We. "I'll go look."

"I can help," offered Padmé.

"No, I've got it under control," Taun We said firmly.

Padmé reluctantly returned to her seat as Taun We left the room.

"I don't like this," Anakin said nervously, staring at his uneaten spaghetti.

"Really?" asked Padmé in disappointment. "I used a different sauce this time; sorry if it's not as good."

Anakin stared at her blankly.

"Oh, you mean…" Padmé jerked her head in the direction of the room Taun We had entered. Anakin nodded.

"Yeah, it's weird," agreed Obi-Wan.

"What could possibly so important that she had to come all the way back here?" wondered Anakin.

Obi-Wan shook his head. "It's something else," he said. "You know, for the past day or so, I've been getting the feeling that I was being followed."

"Uh-oh," said Anakin. "Looks like we've got ourselves a stalker."

Padmé disagreed. "You guys are nuts," she informed them. "Taun We seems so level-headed and down-to-earth; she would never-"

Suddenly, Anakin and Obi-Wan jumped up and sprinted into the other room. Padmé followed a moment later. They arrived to find Taun We dangling the twins out the open window and cackling evilly.

Padmé gasped.

"What are you doing?" exclaimed Anakin.

"Isn't it obvious?" replied Taun We. "I'm about to drop your children to their death."

"Why?" wondered Padmé.

"Why?" Taun We repeated incredulously. "I just got freakin' dumped, remember?"

"Yes," said Padmé, "and I'm terribly sorry. But what does that have to do with Luke and Leia?"

"Yeah, I'm lost," Obi-Wan admitted.

The twins were sobbing uncontrollably by now, obviously uncomfortable with their current situation.

"Look, why don't we go sit down and discuss this like civilized people?" Padmé suggested nervously, keeping her eyes on the babies.

"And let go of my children," added Anakin. "I mean, er, hand them over," he clarified as Taun We loosened her grip on the helpless infants.

"Um…I don't think so," replied Taun We. "Not until Obi-Wan apologizes, anyway."

"What?" said Obi-Wan.

Taun We sighed in frustration. "Honestly, do I have to spell everything out for you? Say, 'I'm sorry, Taun We, for misleading you about my sexuality and dragging you halfway across the galaxy to be my fake girlfriend.'"

"No way," Obi-Wan answered firmly.

"Obi-Wan!" Anakin and Padmé exclaimed simultaneously.

"I'm not apologizing to psycho-spaz-woman," insisted Obi-Wan.

"But it's our children," protested Padmé.

Obi-Wan shrugged. "Not my problem."

"Don't make me kill you," Anakin threatened with a glare.

"Okay, I'll do it," Obi-Wan quickly replied. He paused.

"Well?" said Taun We expectantly.

Obi-Wan mumbled something under his breath.

"You'll have to speak up," ordered Taun We, allowing the babies to slip a little from her grasp.

"I'm sorry for misleading you about my sexuality," came the unenthusiastic response.

"And?" prompted Taun We.

Obi-Wan sighed. "And for dragging you halfway across the galaxy to be my fake girlfriend."

"Apology accepted," Taun We said happily, stepping away from the window and handing Luke and Leia back to their parents. "Your children are lovely, by the way," she told Anakin and Padmé.

"Go away," Padmé replied hostilely, not feeling particularly gracious towards the person who had just threatened the lives of her children.

"Okey-dokey," said Taun We, sensing the danger she was in and hurrying out of the apartment.

"And don't come back!" shouted Padmé as the door slammed shut.

"Well, that was exciting," said Obi-Wan.

Anakin and Padmé simply stared at him.

"Or not," Obi-Wan corrected himself, blushing in embarrassment and wondering if he would ever learn to think before he spoke.

There was an awkward pause, which was finally broken by Obi-Wan.

"So, anyone want to play 'Uno'?"

I'm still here! Sorry about this chapter, and the lateness and shortness and all. I offer band camp as a reason, not an excuse, and if any of you so muchas thinks the phrase, "This one time, at band camp..." there will be extremely unpleasant consequences. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your reviews! The next chapter will hopefully be longer and more amusing, although not necessarily any more timely, seeing as how I am leaving for my cousin's out-of-state wedding in about half a second, and the earliest I can post will be next Monday. In the meantime, please review! Thanks! -Luna

PS- Is it bad when the author's note is almost as long as the chapter? Augh!
