Carmine was very happy to get to spend some quality time with his newfound niece and nephew.

"So, kids. What do you feel like doing today?" Carmine asked them.

Boba and Gabby started to think for a bit, and the younger child spoke first.

"Can you show us what kind of fun stuff you do with your powers?" Gabby said. "We've seen you use a Sonar Wave to fight off a dark sorceress, but can you do other magical music stuff? Just for fun?"

"Sure. Lots of stuff." Carmine said.

Back in music school, Carmine had to keep his magic a secret. His father and grandmother warned him that there were those who sought to rid the Galaxy of Solaris' magic or take it for themselves. So, until he could come upon other Solarans and restore the kingdom's magic, he couldn't let other people know about his powers.

Carmine only ever told his foster mother, his old roommate, and Caroline that he had powers, but only after having them take a magical oath that they would not reveal this to anyone else.

"When I was a kid, the only place I could use my powers freely was in a book."

"You can book jump too?" Gabby said, astonished.

"Not exactly. There are three ways to magically jump into a book. Have Biblio-Spell magic, get trapped in an enchanted book, or use this spell I learned to jump into them. And now that there are at least three more Solaran Enchanteds, I can definitely show you kids some of the stuff I can do."

Carmine brought the kids to one of the long hallways, which was currently empty.

"Ever played the piano with your feet?" Carmine said.

"That sounds silly." Gabby said, giggling.

"Why would you play a piano with your feet?" Boba asked, scrunching his nose.

Carmine enchanted the floor, and the long rug turned into a giant piano.

"If it's too big to sit under and play with your hands." Carmine smirked, taking a few steps onto the piano. It made music. "How's that for magical music?"

"Awesome!" Gabby said, running across the keyboard and sliding.

Boba jumped onto the piano and took some steps himself.

"This is fun." Boba smiled, making music with his sister and uncle.

Gabby started hopping and walking onto the keys to play Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.

"Aren't you a talented little pianist?" Carmine said, ruffling his niece's hair.

"Uncle Carmine!" Gabby whined as her bow was messed up.

The kids had so much fun making music on the keyboard with their uncle, playing lots of different songs and dancing around.

"Wanna see something even more fun?" Carmine said.

Carmine brought Gabby and Boba to one of the staircases in the temple.

"So, what's this fun thing we're gonna do?" Boba said.

"How do you kids feel about roller coasters and slides?" Carmine asked.

"I've never ridden a roller coaster before."

"I've always wanted to ride one!" Gabby said excitedly, but then frowned. "But I'm too short to get on the big kid ones."

Carmine smiled and said, "Well, what if I told you I knew a roller coaster that anyone of any size could ride?"

"You're taking us to a roller coaster?!" Gabby smiled excitedly.

"Better. I'm bringing the roller coaster to you."

Carmine waved his hand, and a plethora of gold magic in the shape of lines of music notes like on sheet music appeared going down the stairs and into the hall.

"I call it, Rock N' Rollercoaster!" Carmine said.

The kids were astonished.

"Don't be shy." Carmine said, picking Gabby up and holding her to the slide. "On three?"

"Okay..." Gabby sounded a little nervous.

"Don't worry. It's lots of fun." Carmine reassured. And then he counted. "One... two... three!"

And he sent Gabby sliding down the music. And Gabby could hear a song playing as she slid.

Was crying all night
I slept until noon
I just wanna lie in
My living room

Boba soon followed his sister and so did Carmine.

I know in my heart
That your not the one
So I'll just stay home
Watch VH1

At first, the slide just took them straight down the hall and curved around the corner. But then, it started to carry them up, up, up.

My girlfriends know what to do
They know what to say (Oh)
My girlfriends to the rescue
Come take me away

And like on a roller coaster, everyone riding the music went down really fast, side to side, and in a loop.

I'm on vacation tonight
I'm gonna leave you behind
I'm on vacation tonight
I'm gonna lose my mind
With someone new, new
With someone new, new
With someone

I sit in the front
Roll down the window
When our song comes on
The radio

I won't fall apart
I won't self destruct
No I'll just reach out
And turn it up

My girlfriends know what to do
They know what to say (Oh)
My girlfriends to the rescue
Come take me away (Come take me away)

The ride got even faster and more fun as the song continued. And at one point, the coaster went round and round like a swirly twist slide.

I'm on vacation tonight
I'm gonna leave you behind
I'm on vacation tonight
I'm gonna lose my mind
With someone new, new
With someone new, new
With someone

For a bit, the ride slowed down.

Yeah
Lalalalala la
Girls lets go

My girlfriends know what to do
They know what to say (Oh)

But then they started going up again.

"Uh oh," said Boba. "Here we go again!"

My girlfriends to the rescue

Come take me away

And they did a big drop again and went all around and upside down again, going crazy before they came up one more time and slide round and around.

I'm on vacation tonight (Vacation tonight)
I'm gonna leave you behind (You behind)
I'm on vacation tonight (Tonight)
I'm gonna lose my mind (Oh lose my mind tonight)
I'm on vacation tonight (Yeah yeah)
I'm gonna leave you behind (You behind)
I'm on vacation tonight (Tonight)
I'm gonna lose my mind
With someone new, new (With someone) (Yeah)
With someone new, new
With someone
New

And the ride ended with them landing on some conveniently placed pillows.

The kids and their uncle were all laughing so hard as they had such a great time.

"That was the best ride ever!" Gabby said.

"That was even better than the time Remix tried to pilot a ship and made us do a bunch of loops." Boba laughed.

"Can we do it again?" Gabby asked.

"I don't see why not." Carmine smiled.

So, the kids did go again. And soon other younglings saw them doing it and were curious. So, Carmine invited them to ride too. Everyone loved it so much!

Gabby and Boba went on at least eight times.

"I don't think I'll ever get tired of that!" Gabby smiled.

"Me neither." Boba said. "I'll bet that amusement park we asked Mom and Dad if we could go to has nothing like that."

Gabby and Boba were hungry later, so Carmine decided to take them out to lunch.

"Daddy usually takes us to Dex's Diner." Gabby said. "They have great bantha burgers."

"You haven't lived until you've tried their blue milkshakes either." Boba said. "And I should know."

"Well, let's go by all means." Carmine said. "You know, when my family and I travelled on tour, one of the best parts of it was getting to try all kinds of different cuisines across the galaxy."

Carmine walked into the diner with the kids.

"Anakin Skywalker, my old friend. You come with your children, I see." said Dex, seeing who he thought was Anakin at first. "When did you start wearing glasses?"

"Actually, my Carmine." said Carmine. "I'm Anakin's twin brother."

"It's true." Gabby said. "He's our uncle. Daddy is spending time with our cousin Lamenta, Uncle Carmine's daughter, today."

"Anakin never mentioned a brother."

"That's because we didn't know about each other until recently." said Carmine. "It's a long story."

Dex sent the family to get seated and a waitress droid went to take their orders. Carmine told the kids they could get anything they wanted, his treat to them.

Carmine told the kids stories about some of the amazing places he'd been to with his wife and daughter during their travels. In one place, they went to a restaurant where they ate with special utensils called chopsticks, and somewhere they also learned the art of origami.

"One of the best parts was being able to see the areas of origin of so many of the different dances I learned in school." said Carmine. "The royal family of Maamoh-Yah was very impressed by my choreography when they booked Count Crescendo to perform at Princess Yasmina's sweet sixteen party."

"I heard somewhere that Count Crescendo is on vacation now." said someone at another table. "I hope he comes back soon, 'cause I've been dying to go to a concert."

"Well, I'm sure Crescendo wants nothing more than to please his fans." said Carmine. "But you gotta remember, famous singers are people like you. They need time to rest and relax. Same goes for the people who work for them."

"Count Crescendo is always saying how he never gets tired of hearing his fans cheer." said another customer.

"Yes, he does say that." said Carmine. "But it doesn't mean he doesn't need sleep. My wife is his manager, and sometimes she still needs to remind him to rest himself."

"What's your job? For the Count."

"I'm the choreographer and composer of the music." Carmine said.

"What's that like?"

"Well... hard work... but I like what I do." Carmine said, taking a sip of his milkshake. "And I get to travel to all sorts of places."

"What's he like?" one customer asked Carmine.

"If it's not too much to ask, I'm on vacation now too. And now I'm trying to spend quality time with my nephew and niece." Carmine said. "As much as I like music and Count Crescendo tours, I need a break too."

"What are you gonna do for a living now? I hear a lot of pop stars underpay their employees."

"Well, that's not Count Crescendo. Besides, now I'm working as a dance instructor in the meantime. So, I get to work with kids, and I like kids. Especially the ones in our family."

After lunch, Carmine cast a little spell to change his and the kids' hair and clothes to make them unrecognizable. Then, he took his kids on a stroll through the city and decided to stop in the shopping district. He'd missed all of Gabby's birthdays, and Boba's first after his adoption, and all the Life Days they each had.

He could afford to spoil them like some relatives did with the children in their family. And he wanted to make sure their day together would be extra special and memorable. Carmine told the kids they could pick out anything they wanted, and the sky was the limit.

Gabby rushed to the plush toys and found two pretty mermaid plush dolls she'd been eyeing for a long time, a seahorse toy that squirted water, a yellow pegasus plushie, a dinosaur jigsaw puzzle, a dancing game, and some new coloring books.

Boba, on the other hand, picked out some starships he liked, a plush horse, a video game, a board game, a couple of puzzle games, and a jaguar plushie.

Carmine also managed to find some nice toys to surprise his daughter with. But he couldn't find what he was looking for.

"What are you looking for, Uncle Carmine?" Boba asked.

"A Galaxy Girl doll." said Carmine. "Lamenta's been wanting one forever, but I haven't been able to get her one. She really wanted Prima Lavendira."

"Oh! I've seen that one. She's really pretty." Gabby said. "I really wanted Carolina Jane, the princess of adventure. I begged for one for my last birthday, but Daddy said they were sold out everywhere. He even asked the other Jedi to help. And Uncle Eeth found one. But then he lost it."

"Well, one of these days, we're gonna get one for you, and for my little lamb too." Carmine said. "Speaking of her... I wonder how she's doing."

Carmine got out his phone and called Anakin.

"Hey, Carmine. How's your day with Boba and Gabby going?" Anakin said on the phone.

"Pretty great, actually." Carmine said. "How's Lamenta doing?"

"She's... great. Very great." Anakin said, sounding like he was trying not to sound nervous.

"Anakin...?" Carmine said, noticing the edge in his twin's voice. "What's wrong? Is Lamenta hurt or sick?"

"No! She's not either of those things. I just... don't know where she is right now."

"You lost my daughter?!" Carmine practically screamed into the phone.

"I know, you're furious." Anakin said. "I'm so sorry. We got ambushed by reporters and then we got separated and-"

"I'm coming over there! Where are you?" Carmine asked.

"At the toy store on Markins Street." Anakin answered.

"I'm not too far from there. Don't go anywhere."

And Carmine hung up. He told someone to have the kids' stuff delivered and took both their hands and began rushing them out.

"Both of you, stay close to me." Carmine said.

Carmine rushed to the toy store Anakin said he was at and began calling for Lamenta.

Boba and Gabby both worried about their cousin. Both of them had experience being separated from their parents in one way or another. Boba getting separated from Padme and Gabby in the mall, and all the times Gabby had been kidnapped during battles. No matter where they got separated from their parents, it was always terrifying.

But Carmine got so busy calling for Lamenta, he didn't notice that Boba and Gabby got too far from him as they both started looking for Lamenta too.

Boba and Gabby both called for Lamenta, but couldn't find her. And then they stopped and didn't see their uncle with them and they realized they were lost too!

Meanwhile, Carmine kept calling for Lamenta.

"Kids, if you spot Lamenta, let me know, okay?" said Carmine. "Kids?"

Carmine looked around and suddenly realized now he'd lost his niece and nephew!

"Oh no!" Carmine face palmed. "Now I have three lost kids!"

Carmine rushed to look for his niece and nephew.
