Obi-Wan had watched his fair share of holomovies. He actually rather enjoyed them, even the ones that Padmé was showing him now—even though they were, to be quite honest, ridiculously dramatic. But then again, Padmé seemed to know that they were ridiculously dramatic as well, because now they had a running tally between themselves of predictions.
"Of course it's at the landing dock," Obi-Wan murmured for what felt like the tenth time that day. (When in actually, it might have only been for the third.) "They only ever seem to make romantic declarations there."
"I know," Padmé sighed, passing him the bowl of bang-corn. "Wait for it—he's going to propose—"
The romantic hero knelt down on a knee.
"Bravo," Obi-Wan said, passing the bowl of bang-corn back to Padmé. "Any guesses for what he'll say?"
"You complete me," Padmé said in a husky voice.
"You complete me," the romantic hero said, all wide eyes.
"Bravo yet again," Obi-Wan said, shaking his head.
"Any guesses what she'll say? Or do?" Padmé asked.
"Hm…" Obi-Wan examined the couple that was now spinning around on the landing dock. "I think they'll transition to a Life Day themed wedding…and, ah, see?" Sure enough, the holomovie had transitioned to a scene of bright colors and ridiculously brighter baubles. "They'll name their children after Life Day creatures, and they'll run a store specific to Life Day…"
Padmé started laughing as the credits rolled down. "I didn't think you'd get the gist of them so fast."
"Remember who you're talking to," Obi-Wan said loftily, sneaking more bang-corn from the bowl. "Now, what's next?"
Padmé tilted her head at the screen. "There's a movie about a child who defends his home from burglars," she said. At Obi-Wan's confused look, she clarified, "His whole family left him on Life Day. By accident."
"How terrible," Obi-Wan said. "Let's watch."
Padmé's face lit up as she played the movie.
They had only just gotten to the part when the boy and his brothers had started ruminating about their old neighbor when the door slid open.
"What're you guys watching?" Ahsoka asked, sliding into the couch between Obi-Wan and Padmé.
"I thought you were supposed to be at the Archives?" Obi-Wan asked, although he shifted to the side to allow his grandpadawan more space.
"I thought you were supposed to be at a Council meeting?" Ahsoka asked, leaning back against the couch.
"I already went," Obi-Wan replied. He passed Ahsoka a blanket, which she gratefully tugged up to her chin.
"Well then, I already did my work at the Archives," Ahsoka replied, crossing her legs. "Now ssh, Master Kenobi, I'm trying to watch."
Obi-Wan smiled. He leaned against the arm of the couch as the rest of the movie played. They got to the part where the boy's family was rushing around to leave the house when the door opened again.
"What are you guys watching?" Anakin asked, slipping next to Padmé. Then, after a moment, he grinned. "Oh, this movie—just wait until he—"
"Spoilers," Padmé whispered, hitting Anakin's arm.
"Ow—okay," Anakin said, rubbing his arm although Obi-Wan doubted that it actually hurt. "But I'm just saying…" Anakin didn't bother finishing the sentence because Ahsoka had tossed bang-corn into his mouth.
They resumed the movie.
