Little ficlet I thought up. Song is why does it always rain on me by Travis. Dis: I don't own star wars or it's characters.
Water
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody saying everything's alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights
It was raining. The water fell down in big wet drops that landed on Anakin's face and dripped off. It had been several years since he had left Tatooine, but he still felt awed by the way that water fell from the sky.
Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
"Ani?" the voice of an angel asked from behind him, "What are you doing? You'll catch cold!"
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
Anakin turned around to see his lovely wife in the doorway with her hair in long curls surrounding her face. "Just enjoying the rain," Ani answered lifting his face to be kissed by the falling drops.
I can't stand myself
I'm being held up by an invisible man
Still life on a shelf when
I got my mind on something else
Padme smiled at the little boy reaction. "Come on," she said, ushering him inside, "Let's get you warm and dry."

It was Yavin 4, the day after the triumph against the death star. Luke was standing outside in the rain. He had never seen rain before and it seemed magical to him. He let the water fall on in as it poured down. It was the most incredible thing to him, water falling from the sky. He had heard about it often, but never imagined it.
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
I can't sleep tonight
"Luke?" a musical voice asked from the main hanger, "What are you doing? You'll catch cold!"
Everybody's saying everything's all right
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of the lights
Luke turned round to look at Princess Leia. She didn't really understand his fascination with rain, didn't really understand that he had never seen it before. It fell in a miriade of colours and produced a fascinating arrange of sounds. "Enjoying the rain," he replied innocently, like a little boy.

"Come on," Leia said, waving him inside with a gentle smile, "Let's get you warm and dry."
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
Why does it always rain on me?
Why does it always rain on...
The End
