The group of five walked into the outskirts of Mos Espa. There were many
different creatures and many different stores. Naya had never seen anything
like it, not even the time she went to Coruscant with her father.
"Pretty neat, isn't it Naya?" asked Obi.
Naya's head swiveled in all directions. "Look at all the different people!" she exclaimed.
Obi smiled at his daughter's awe. "There are alot of them, aren't there? But you have to stay close to me because not all of them are kind people, alright Naya?"
"Ok Dad. Hey, can I sit on your shoulders?!" she asked.
"Sure." he answered, picking her up and putting her up on his shoulders.
"Wow! I can see everything!" Naya said happily.
They continued to walk around Mos Espa, trying to find a store with the parts that they needed. Finally they came to a store that supplied parts. It had a broken sign, the only letters visible were W TTO'S P R TS.
"I think it says something parts. Let's go check it out." said Qui.
They entered the shop to find a Toydarian inside. Qui showed him the holo of the transport, then asked if the Toydarian had the parts they needed.
"Ah yes. Me thinks my shop is the only with the parts you seek. But it will cost you." said the Toydarian, Watto.
"We have 20,000 Rebublic credits." answered Qui.
"Rebublic! That is worth nothing to me. No money, no parts."
"I have Gamerian Satels. Would that be worth anything to you?" inquired Obi.
"Satels." mumbled Watto. "Yes, Satels are of value to me. I do buisness with that system quite often. It will cost you, umm, 10,000 Satels."
"10,000!!! That's outreageous!!" roared Obi. "5,000, and no higher."
"8,000."
"6,000"
"7,000"
"Fine." mumbled Obi. "No money until I inspect the parts."
"Very well." said Watto.
Obi put Naya down on the ground, and asked her to stay with Padmé and Sabé while Obi and Qui inspected the parts.
"Ok Daddy." she responded.
Meanwhile, Watto had called in one of his slaves to watch the shop while he was in the back. Watto spoke to the young, human boy in Huttese, then led Obi and Qui to back yard.
Padmé and Sabé were walking around the room as Naya went to talk to the young boy.
"What's your name?" asked Naya.
The boy turned to face her. "Anakin Skywalker. What's yours?"
"Naya Kenobi." she answered. "Are you a slave?"
The boy looked sad for a moment. "Yes. But one day i'm going to leave here with my mom! I'm a pilot, and i'm going to fly us away from here."
"What about your dad?" asked Naya.
"I don't have one." Anakin replied.
"Oh. Then you're kinda like me! I never knew my mother."she said
"What are their names?" asked Anakin, pointing to Sabé and Padmé, who were imersed in their own conversation.
"Padmé and Sabé. They're my friends."
"They're very pretty." mumbled Anakin, just as Obi, Qui and Watto reappeared.
"The boy will help you with your parts. Ani, help these men bring these parts to their ship. Then you can go home for the day."
Anakin ran over to wear the parts were stacked, then helped Obi and Qui carry them. They were no sooner a street down from Watto's shop when a sandstorm started up.
"We'll never make it back to the ship in time!" exclaimed Sabé.
"I know! You can come to my house. Then after the storm's done, i'll help you bring the parts to your ship." said Anakin.
Qui looked at Obi. "We really don't have choice." said Obi. So the group turned around and headed towards Anakin Skywalker's home.
