"You look wonderful tonight," commented Sabe as she finished
the Senator's hair.
"Thankyou," said Padme.
"Are you trying to impress him," asked Sabe.
Padme tried not to choke on the drink that she happened to be drinking then.
"Him? Who are you talking about," asked Padme.
"You know very well who I am talking about, the only man who could ever open your heart," said Sabe.
"Oh, didn't I tell you? He's not going to be there. He hates parties and they really couldn't have a party without me there. I am not one to dissapoint my children," said Padme.
"Whatever."
Padme was trying her best not to be annoyed with Sabe.
"What exactly is that supposed to mean," asked Padme.
"Never mind. You'll figure it out soon enough," said Sabe before exiting her bedroom.
Padme stared after her with a confused expression on her face.
**********
Luke watched as his dad put on his suit.
"You look nice tonight," said Luke.
"What am I supposed to there for a whole two hours," asked Anakin.
It was obvious to both children that he was annoyed.
"Believe me dad, you won't be bored tonight," said Leia.
"I am going to live to regret this," said Anakin.
Both twins hoped what their father said wasn't true. They really hoped it wasn't too late for their parents.
*******
Nothing was going according to planned. Their parents weren't supposed to discover eachother until the party was half way over.
Well, that didn't happen. Both parents had been early. At least it was their luck that their father hadn't discovered their mother, well, maybe it was their curse.
Padme dragged Luke to a room in the back.
"What is the meaning of this," demanded Padme.
Her eyes were flashing. Luke could tell she wasn't very happy. No, that would be putting it very mildly.
"I don't know what you are talking about? Are they out of delicacies already," asked Luke.
His mother looked at him hardly. Special kinds of foods were the last thing on her mind.
"That is not what I am talking about! Whose idea was this?"
"Whose idea was what?"
"Your father is here!"
"Oh, I must have forgotten that little detail. Yeah, he's here," said Luke as if it didn't really matter either way.
"You told me he wasn't going to be here," said Padme.
"Did I now? I left a hologram with Sabe saying father was going to be here. It must have slipped her mind to give it to you," said Luke.
"Does your father know I am here," asked Padme.
"No, it must of slipped Obi-Wan's as well. Well, are you just going to stand out here the whole time? If I didn't know better I would think you were afraid of him. That isn't true, now is it?"
"Ofcourse not."
"Well, by all means, please come join the rest of us. Dad is about to get the shock of his life."

Leia was currently talking to her father at a table.
"So, you two met at a party? Wow, was it then you knew you loved her," asked Leia.
Anakin gave her a suspicious stare.
"Maybe."
"I wonder if she was here right now, I wonder if you would dance with her," said Leia.
"Why are you guys asking all these questions? I seriously doubt it even matters," said Anakin.
"It does to me," said Leia.
"Maybe," said Anakin.
Leia looked up the stairs and glared at her brother. It wasn't nearly time for her parents to see eachother yet, but here her mom was. She looked beautiful as usual.
Luckily for both kids Obi-Wan noticed as well.
"Anakin, there's an emergency. I must talk to you at once."
He practically pulled Anakin into a room.
"Where's the fire," asked Anakin sarcastically.
He took in Obi-Wan's serious expression.
"What's going on," asked Anakin.
"This may come as a shock to you but Padme is here. I saw Luke walking with her," said Obi-Wan.
Anakin looked like he might throw up.
"She's here?"
"Yes," replied Obi Wan.
"What is she doing here? I thought she couldn't make it," said Anakin.
Obi-Wan slowly let the story unfold.
**********
Padme slowly sat down in the den. It was the only quiet place right then. It was the only place where the party wasn't raging.
As she saw the figure standing by the window she regretted coming in.
"Well, look who we have here," said Anakin.
She turned to Anakin. She knew she should say something. What was she supposed to say to him? She wasn't quite sure.
"I see you're still the self-assured man that I remember," said Padme.
"And I see you're still the beautiful woman who always has a come-back," said Anakin.
He gave her his famous smirk.
"Why are you smiling? Don't you know what they did," cried Padme.
"Yeah, I can not believe they would go that far just to get us to talk," said Anakin in exasperation.
"Well, I can," said Padme.
"What exactly is that supposed to mean," asked Anakin.
"They are our children," said Padme.
