Disclaimer: I don't own Dido's song 'Sand in my shoes', Or Any of the characters…Sigh.

Morning Birthday chicken!

The early morning sun hit the Naboo Mountains in a beautiful way. The snow glittered at the summits of the ancient giants who had protected secrets that had been hidden for thousands of years.

And one of those secrets that had never been discovered was… How do you wake up, one Anakin Skywalker?

Beep.

Snore.

Beep.

Snore. Beep… Good morning to all those sleeping blissfully on the beautiful planet of Naboo. The sun is shining over the newly fallen snow, so get out and have some fun with the family. This is DJ Jenza in the morning, I'll be taking requests while I count down Naboo's top 20…

Snore.

Oh look at this we all ready have a request sent by I-mail (A/N hey we already have ipods and ievrything else so why not imail?) It's from someone called…Um someone called; former Angel Queen…All righty then. Well this is for former Angel Queen, An oldie but a goodie, 'Sand In My Shoes' By Dido.

Snore. Twitching Who could find the secret, but a 'Former Angel Queen' Two weeks away feels like the Whole world should have changed

But I'm home now…

Our lovable tall, blonde hero's ears twitched at the song. Since he had been a small boy he had really disliked anything to do with sand. Even songs. Even songs by people already one with the force. Even songs by people already one with the force, from planets long gone for thousands years.

I've still got sand in my shoes

And I can't shake the thought of you…

His bare left arm moving slowly to where the alarm was. His large hand swang down hard on the side table expecting that pesky alarm to be there. When his hand started throbbing with pain and the music didn't stop he knew something was up. The dark blue eyes blinked open and looked around the room. Anakin's eyes went right to left.

The warmth of the room had fogged the windows up. Padme's expensive curtains that she had ordered form the other side of the galaxy were sticking to them.

All was well there.

Moving them again he saw the wooden table that he had made for his wife the day he found out that they were having twins. On top of the table was a very valuable mirror given to Padme by her good friend Boss Nass. Also just at the bottom of the mirror was a carved Jewel box made for Padme by Luke and Leia.

Nothing out of place.

Tomorrow's back to work

And down to sanitation

Run a bath and then clear up the

Mess I made before I left here

The blue orbs skipped past most of the other things in the room, quickly moving back and forth. Anakin turned his head to his hand currently going red with pain on the bedside table. Once again given to Padme by Cliegg, Owen and Beru for her 25th Birthday. He took his throbbing hand off it and looked at it intently.

"Great" It was going to go purple. "It had to be my flesh one."

He sat up, frown growing on his handsome face.

"First off where's my alarm?" The song was going on in the background. "Grrrr."

Anakin pulled his pillow up to his ears. Her looked around the bedroom again.

"Question number 2, Why does Padme get everything?"

I've got sand in my shoes

And I can't shake the thought of you

I should get on, forget you

Why, Why would I want to?

"Nooooo" Anakin whined "I can still hear it. Right this has got to stop!"

He flung the sheets off of his legs and slipped on his bunny slippers. He then snatched his robe of the bed and wrapped it around himself. Anakin now at a higher position scanned the room with a glare.

"Why, why you ask. I'll show you why, why!"

This is the part of the chapter where our hero, completely idiotic yet lovable, goes and practically destroys a room.

In another part of the home a figure silently moved. The shadowy figure made no noise as it walked into the study. There on the study's desk was a box. The person walked closer to it, holding in its hands beautiful silver paper covered in gold stars.

Then two smaller figures came out either side of the first person, the slightly taller one holding sticky tape, the slightly smaller one holding blue and red ribbons.

"Let's rock"

And they all moved swiftly towards the box.

"Ani, breakfast is ready" Padme called out to her husband while leaning on the door of the kitchenette. She walked back over to her cup of caff and watched the morning news. After fifteen minuets and with no sign of Anakin she got worried. It was not like Anakin to miss out on food. She sighed and walked up the stairs, quickly glancing at the study as she walked past it. When she got to the master bedroom's door, Padme started hearing very strange things.

"Anakin what have you done now?" Padme mumbled to herself.

Padme open the door, praying that nothing had been blown up. When she had opened it only half way and suddenly shocked that her bedroom was filled with feathers. The feathers stuck to everything, and when I say everything I mean everything. Nothing was left untouched the windows, her dressing table, her bedside table, her husband, her-. Padme did a double take, sitting in the middle of the room with a look on his face the said 'sprung' was Anakin Skywalker. The pillows feathers stuck at odd ends in his hair, so he looked like he had been chasing chickens. Anakin's sheepish eyes ever so slowly moved up to meet his wife's glare. As he met it, he made the finishing touch: Anakin's cheesy smile.

"Morning"

"What have you done?" Padme asked looking around again.

"Uh, I was looking for my alarm."

"And did you find it?"

All his answer was, was the mutilated electrical thing he held in his hand. Padme's eyes widen at it. The last time she saw it, it was a thin black box-like contraption. Now it had wires sticking out of the ends and a fist print in the middle of it. She looked back at the look of her husband. She could not help but give a chuckle at the sight of him and when he heard the chuckle his smile got all the more cheesier.

Padme shook her head as she walked over to him. "What am I going to do with you?"

"I don't know." Anakin replied, while getting up. "But you could kiss me good morning."

As Padme moved in for the kiss a voice was heard in the background.

"Now why am I always catching you two in this position?"

Anakin held up his hand and turned his back to the voice, as he kissed his wife.

"Gross get a room!"

Now this time the happy couple turned and found Luke, Leia and Obi-Wan standing in the doorway. Padme moved over to her children and friend and wished them all good morning. Then she turned and all four of them looked at the feathered Anakin.

"What? Is there something in my teeth?"

"Anakin please tell my you know what day it is." Obi-Wan pleaded with him.

"It's not Monday is it?"

Padme just shook her head and smiled.

"Dad" the twins complained in unison. They walked over to their father and handed over a box wrapped up in silver and gold stars, along with blue and red ribbons.

"Happy birthday dad."

 Pray tell how could he forget his birthday? But more importantly, what did Anakin get?

Reviews make the heart stronger…Well that's what my doctor says!
