Chapter 1: Typical Evening Out

It was a blustery, snowy evening in December on Coruscant. Vehicles, speeders, and taxis hurried down the slick streets, as snow and sleet clung to the miniature trees that lined the streets. People were crossing everywhere one could see, carrying Christmas presents and what not.

In a large speeder, a frazzled Mara Jade Skywalker was taking her three children to the grocery store with her, mostly due to the fact Luke was on a phone call with the Senate, and that the kids were anxious to get out of the house. 14 year old Ben was yakking to a friend on his comlink, while 4 year old Aiden was singing along with the songs on the radio, while 8 year old Liz was playing with her virtual Digimon pet.

As soon as they arrived at their destination, Mara walked to the pharmacy, where there was a short line. Ben asked, "Hey, Mom, can I get some food?" Mara sighed, "Oh all right, but no caffine. Take Aiden with you." Ben groaned, and dragged his youngest sister away to look at the food.

Meanwhile, Liz was messing with her virtual pet. It was the hot thing in the Inner Rim right now, so she ordered one of the 'Net straight from Arcadia Major. So far, she had activated it and was waiting for the egg on the screen to hatch. She pulled her auburn hair back into a ponytail, while her game sat patiently on the floor. Sighing, she walked over to Mara, "Hey, Mom! When are going to get home? I want to eat dinner." Mara groaned, "Hush, Liz. I'm busy right now. Please get Ben and Aiden."

Liz sighed sadly as she headed towards the candy aisle. It's always, please get this, Liz, or don't bother me right now, Liz, I'm busy. Why can't I ever get any attention? I'll bet Mom didn't notice I made honor roll, the young girl mused as she approached her siblings.

Meanwhile, Ben and Aiden were fighting over a bag of Wookie Cookies. "It's mine, Ben! I saw it first," Aiden whined, shaking her gold pigtails. Ben groaned, "Shut up, brat!" Liz rolled her eyes, and yelled, "Knock it off!" They ignored her, and continued to tug and pull at the silver bag.

Liz growled, and narrowed her eyes! Suddenly, the bag exploded, and cookies went flying. Liz snapped out of her trance and ran over to Ben and Aiden. Aiden was crying, and Ben scolded, "Geez louise, Liz! You had to blow up the bag, didn't you? I hope you get yelled at!" That's when Mara appeared!

She stared at her three children, horrified. "Benjamin Kenobi Skywalker, Elizabeth Amidala Skywalker, and Aiden Padme Skywalker, I am very disappointed in you. You all know better then to throw tantrums in public! Ben, you should be setting a better example! Now, who blew up the bag? I need to know so I can pay for it?"

Ben piped up, "It was Liz." Mara scowled, and smacked Liz on the cheek. "Never do that again, young lady." Liz nodded, and they left, leaving a stunned crowd of onlookers.

On the way home, the freeway was backed up. Mara groaned, and turned on the radio. Ben was talking to Luke on his comlink, while Aiden said softly, "I'm sorry, Mommy." Mara's gaze softened, "Of course you are. Here's a present." She then produced a tiny bear, and Aiden held it close.

At that moment, Liz happened to look up, and was upset! Why did Aiden get a present? Overwhelmed, Liz began to weep softly, as the Skywalkers hurried home.
