Blue Waters: episode #38 The Reception: Last Wishes
Sorry, I honestly didn't think Blue Waters would take this long to complete. I knew Anuvuin and Death Star would, but not this.
Previously: Anakin and Samantha had their wedding.
That's basically all that happened last time.
"And now, may I present MR. And Mrs. Anakin Luke Skywalker."
Anakin and Samantha walk
down the aisle. This had been something they'd been waiting for for a long
time. R2-D2 beeps. Everyone laughs, including the bride and groom. And no, Blue Waters is not over yet. They
all head off to the reception. After
pictures are all taken, Anakin and Samantha arrive together at the reception.
The reception (which is also outside) is being held on Naboo. (The wedding took place at the Royal gardens
on Coruscant). Of course there is food
and dancing.
Anakin says, "May I have this dance?"
"Of course, dear
husband."
She said that in a funny
kind of way. I mean she meant it, but
they were having fun. So they
danced. But Anakin and Samantha begin
to get a little tired, so they go over to talk to guests.
Kitster (Anakin's best friend, remember), says,
"Congratulations, Ani. You're still the best pilot even if you're king of
Coruscant, too. You won't have as much
time for flying, you know."
Anakin smiles and says, "You're a good pilot, too. And without you I never would have gotten
that pod ready. Maybe we'll be up in
space together one of these days."
Next, Anakin went to his
mother. He went up to her and gave her a huge hug. Neither of them had any way of knowing that this would be the
last hug they'd have in a long time.
"Without you, mother, I'd still be a slave. You gave me the
courage I needed when I was young. You raised me, and I'm forever in debt to
you."
'Oh, Ani…you're a king
now…you have to be brave, but I know you already are. You've always made me very proud…and this is the proudest
yet. I hope that there are many more
proud moments for you."
"I'm sure there will be."
Shmi then hugs Samantha.
"Now keep my son
safe…look after him."
Samantha smiles, "You
know I will…and he'll do the same for me."
Anakin and Samantha smiled at each other. Next, they went to
Obi-wan and Yoda.
"I have a lot to owe to you two. I'd never have even been a Jedi
if it hadn't been for you and Qui-Gon."
Yoda says, "but the
battle is not yet over. The Sith Master
remains…"
Anakin nods.
Obi-wan says, "This is my little apprentice? Qui-Gon would be very proud of you…if he
could just have seen you!"
Jira is their next
stop.
"You've always been gracious to me, Ani. I hope there's something I can do to pay you
back someday."
Anakin shakes his head,
"You don't have to. Everything I did was a gift."
"Thank you, Ani."
Tim and Sally were next. They both shook hands with Anakin. Samantha's parents hugged her.
"May you two have a happy marriage," Tim says, even thought he's
hoping that Anakin can be killed so he doesn't' have to have any grandchildren
by him.
Samantha smiles, 'I'm sure we will."
Tim gives Anakin the royal ring of Coruscant, since he is now
king. Obviously, since Caspian is only
5 months old, he can't talk and doesn't' rally know what's going on. He smiles
at the couple. Anakin and Samantha
smile back. Gwydion is holding Caspian.
Gwydion says, "I told you you could convince them one of these
days, I'm so happy for you both, and may you have a s many of these (holds up
Caspian) as you wish!"
They laugh.
"Thank you," they both say.
Dalben, Samantha's second father to her since he had raised her
on Naboo, says, "Congratulations, Samantha. I've very proud of you! I just wish I could be as certain as I am
about you that the gwythaints are save."
Anakin looks a bit uncomfortable. Samantha attributes it to the
excitement of the night.
"Did you ever find anything out about them, Ani."
"Um…I believe Palpatine
has them."
Anakin wanted to get
away from Dalben as quickly as possible. HE somehow feels that Dalben can
somehow see through him. In reality, of
course he can't. Next are Jar Jar and
Boss Nass.
"Tis a grand bombard occasion," says Jar Jar.
Boss Nass says, "yes,
congratulations to the person who united the Gungans with the Naboo and to the
person that saved many Gungan lives."
Boss Nass does his weird mouth thing. Everyone laughs. Captain
Panaka and Ric Olie also give their congratulations.
"T the Queen that saved her people."
Ric looks at Anakin, "I
told you you caught onto things pretty quick. I hear you're the best pilot in the galaxy."
Anakin smiles, "they
exaggerate. You're the first person
that showed me the inside of a ship."
Bail Antilles makes his
way over to Anakin and Samantha.
He hugs her and then says, "guess what…my wife's pregnant!"
"Oh that's wonderful,"
says Samantha. "When's it due?"
"Late September. We
don't know if it's going to be a boy or a girl yet."
"Well congratulations to you, too!"
Bail winked at her, "keep in touch."
Then Samantha &
Anakin moved over to Samantha's other best friend, Mrs. Solo.
"Congratulations,
Samantha. I hope you have better luck
with any children you may have than we have."
"Any luck location your
son yet?"
Mrs. Solo shook her
head.
"And if you do have children, maybe they can be friends with Han
and bring him back home to us."
Samantha smiles, "IF I ever run across him, I'd be brining him
over to you right away, and that's a promise. I sure hope it's before our children meet! Anakin and I aren't' planning on having any right away. We want
to wait a few years. You know the
deal."
Mrs. Solo nodded. C-3PO
and R2-D2 approach.
C-3PO says after R2-D2
beeps, "He says Congratulations! I also
want to congratulate you, because you're the one who created me."
Anakin smiles "look at
you in gold plating! I'm glad they
found you coverings!"
Just then the reception breaks up and Anakin & Samantha head
off to Alderaan for a relaxing vacation.
Until next time!
