"Well," commented Anakin. "I suppose I can definitely say that now you have a Padawan who causes even more… entertainment than I did."

"Entertainment?" demanded Padmé, raising her eyebrows.

"For the rest of us," Anakin replied, shrugging as he went to get himself a drink. "For Master Qui-Gon, it's more… insanity."

"Sorry," Tiv told them. She bent down and picked up one of the kittens. "But Master Qui-Gon did let me keep them," she added, handing the kitten to Colac and retrieving the other from Anakin's recently vacated seat just before the young Jedi sat down again.

"And we're all very glad of that," Boba told her.

"Yeah!" Ani cried. "It's entertaining!"

"And cute," Luke added. "The kittens I mean, not you."

"Gee, thanks," Tiv told him sarcastically. "Actually, minus the sarcasm. I really don't believe I want you to think I'm cute."

"Well, as entertaining as this is," Obi-Wan said, "Maybe we can get onto another topic before it becomes so interesting that it rots our brains."

"Like holo-vids?" asked Ani.

"Exactly like," his master told him.

"Have you thought up names for the kittens yet?" asked Taun We, obliging Obi-Wan's request for a change of topic.

"Not really," Tiv replied. "I'm thinking maybe Tassel for the fluffy one," she gestured at the kitten in Colac's hands, "but I'm not sure…"

"Tassel's good," Luke confirmed.

"Sounds like Hassle," Ani disagreed.

"Hassle's good," Qui-Gon suggested.

"No," Taun We said firmly. "Who would name a kitten Hassle?"

"Obviously, Qui-Gon would," Padmé pointed out.

"It was just a suggestion," Qui-Gon defended himself.

"I'm sure it would be a very good name," Tiv soothed. "For Ani."

As the others laughed and Ani tried not to, the kittens started to look rather freaked out by the wrestling pair.

"Tiv, you're scaring the kitties," Colac told her. His sister gave Ani one last punch and stopped. After a moment, Ani did too.

"Okay, so, Tassel it is," Taun We decided. "And Hassle it is not."

"So what about the second one?" asked Qui-Gon.

"How about 'Kitty'?" teased Luke.

"How about not?" retorted Tiv.

"Fuzzball?" suggested Boba. "Twitch? Snicker? Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer? Uhh… That's all I've got. I'll get back to you when I come up with something else."

"Nameless One," offered Ani. "Food. Futon? Sofa? Couch?"

"Couch?" demanded Tiv. "Okay, well, you're out of ideas."

"Yeah, I guess I am."

"Cactus?" put in Obi-Wan. Everyone stared at him. "Okay, well, I just felt that I should contribute something here."

"Rain? River?"

"Cats don't like water."

"How do you know?"

"What kind of name is that?"

"What?"

"No, I am not naming a kitten 'what'?"

Everyone stared at Tiv for a moment. "Uhh, Tiv?" asked Qui-Gon uncertainly.

"That's my name," the girl told him, trying not to grin. Realizing that she was joking, everyone laughed.

"No, I don't think I want to name it 'Ha ha," Tiv laughed.

"What about 'Hee hee?" suggested Luke.

"Or 'Buzzard?" offered Colac.

"Buzzard?"

"That's what Padmé calls the Senate and the Council. Old buzzards. But since she's on the Senate, I figure that's a good thing."

"Uhh," Padmé looked a little unsure how to explain that. "Not exactly…"

"My master calls them buffoons a lot," said Ani. "And lunatics and stuck-up. And a lot of other stuff, but he usually covers my ears first."

"Mine calls them things in other languages, and then tells me not to repeat it," Luke put in. "I don't think he's calling them anything nice."

"So does mine!" exclaimed Tiv.

"Yeah, I guess that must be where he picked it up," Luke agreed.

"Maybe that's what mine's saying when he covers my ears," Ani mused.

"As entertaining as this is," Taun We said. "I doubt they all really need to hear what the others call the Senate and the Council."

"You just don't want me to tell them what you call them," Boba laughed. He leaned over and whispered to the other children, who made a big show of giggling at it.

"Back to cat names…" Qui-Gon suggested.

"That's it!" exclaimed Ani suddenly. Everyone turned to look at him expectantly, but all he had to say was, "Cat."

"You must be joking," Tiv moaned.

Ani nodded. "Yeah," he said. "Yeah, I am."

"Berry?" offered Padmé suddenly. She pointed towards the kitchen. The kitten whose name was so elusive had crawled in there while they were distracted and eaten his fill of the berries that Tiv had recently brought home. His face and paws were now entirely blue.

Tiv picked up the kitten and studied it. "Berry it is," she agreed.
