Jedi Master Luke Skywalker was babysitting. Mara had gone shopping with his sister. She had left him to watch Ben. Him!

Luke sighed. Although right now, Ben was watching Holo Cartoons in the living room. Luke walked into the room just to make sure everything was alright.

It was.

Luke headed into the next room to mediate. He sat down and started mediating. He was in the middle of a very detailed vision when he heard R2- D2 beeping loudly. Luke jumped up and ran into the living room where he heard the beeping coming from.

"BEN SKYWALKER! Put R2 down now!" Luke exclaimed when he saw R2 floating in the air.

"But he was flying, Daddy!" Ben stated.

"I know he was, but your mother and I told you that R2 does not fly unless he is in a ship. Okay? Now put him down."

"Okay, okay." Ben said recently as he put R2 down on the ground again.

"Thank you, Ben." Luke said.

Ben went back to watching his Holo Cartoons or so Luke thought. Luke's commlink went off, and Ben managed to leave the room without Luke noticing.

"Hello? Chuba da naga (What do you want)?" Luke said into his commlink.

"Kee baatu baatu (You bother me)." The person said to him.

Luke recognized the voice as Gavin Darklighter. "Gavin, you need a life."

"I know. Can you come hang out with me?"

"No, I'm watching my-"

Luke heard something explode.

"BEN!"

"Gavin, Mee jewz (good-bye)." Luke said quickly as he hung up his commlink ran into the room where Ben had snuck into.

Ben was standing in the middle of the room with pieces of a droid that he was trying to build, all over the place.

"Ben, what happened?"

"I tried to put that black piece into the green one and it didn't want to go. So I pushed on it. And it went boom!" Ben said pointing to each piece.

"Alright, well, please be careful from now on. Leave it here for now. We can work on it with your mother later if you want." Luke said.

"Okay, dad." Ben replied as he ran back into the living room to watch cartoons.

Luke made sure that he was in the living room. Once he new that Ben was in the right room, Luke headed into the kitchen. Luke started cooking dinner. Mara would be home in an hour or so and he wanted to surprise her.

One hour later, Mara Jade Skywalker arrived home to smell that her husband was cooking something.

"Luke! I'm home!" Mara said as she put her shopping bags down in their room.

Mara walked back into the living room to find Luke surrounded by toys of every kind and Ben sound sleeping on the couch.

"Luke, what happened?" Mara asked amazed.

"What didn't happen is more of an accurate statement." Luke replied.

"Come on, farmboy. Let's go have some dinner." Mara said as she kissed Luke and picked up Ben who was just waking up.
