After a while, Anakin came home.
"DADDY! DADDY!" The twins screamed and ran up to hug their father. It was almost dinner time, so Padme was in the kitchen cooking. Obi-Wan took Luke and Leia on the balcony to watch all the ships take off into space. Anakin went into the kitchen where Padme was and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.
"Is it okay if Obi-Wan joins us for dinner?" Anakin asked as Padme walked around the kitchen.
"Yeah that's fine" Padme replied.
"One day, I wanna explore the entire galaxy, "Luke said to Leia.
"As if! I'm more mature, so I'll be exploring the galaxy while you're here with mom and dad cleaning," Leia said in a sassy -wan chuckled and took the twins into the dining room. Everybody went to the table and started eating.
"How was work at the Temple today?" Padme asked Obi-Wan and Ani.
"It was…good" Obi-Wan said hesitantly and glared over at Anakin, almost daring him not to say a word.
"We were in a meeting talking about how we need better security for the south side and then all of the sudden, some giant piece of sh-" Anakin stopped and cleared his throat. Then he looked to the twins whose eyes were wide.
"Luke, Leia, please go to your rooms and play with your toys or you can go into mommy and daddy's room and watch something on the holo'' Anakin said. "
I CALL DIBS ON THE REMOTE!" Leia yelled while getting ready to run and Luke followed behind her.
"Where was I? Oh yeah, so a separatist ship came to the temple so we all went out to see it, and can you guess who it was!?" Anakin said in a frustrated tone.
"Uh, Dooku?" Padme questioned.
"IT WAS DOOKU!" Anakin yelled. Obi-wan looked up at Anakin and started laughing at him.
"Anyways, how were the twins, they didn't give you too much trouble did they?" Ani looked to his wife who looked exhausted.
"Well, Luke was threatening Leia with this lightsaber so guess how your daughter responded?" Padme said equally bitter and amused.
"She decided to take the butcher knives and corner Luke until he apologized!" Obi-Wan and Ani were in hysterics, but Padme did not look as amused.
"Sorry?!" They both said at the same time and Padme laughed as she picked up the old dishes and threw them into the sink to be washed later.
Carefully the Jedi entered the temple. As they got deeper into it the loud growls turned into whimpers. Shaak Ti closed her eyes to try and figure out where the creature had been located in the temple. She led the way through the large hollow halls until they stopped at a tall wooden door. Mace Windu drew his lightsaber, but Yoda held a hand out to him, showing him not to have fear. The door creaked open and there sat in the corner was a large furry Wookiee.
Yoda sensed this Wookiee was brought by Dooku…..but he wasn't alone. A small boy, around 9 or 10 sat in his lap, Corellian to be assumed. Mace and Yoda watched Aayla and Shaak approach them, careful not to startle the boy.
"Hello, my name is Aayla Secura, we are not gonna hurt you!" The blue Twi'lek said in a calm voice. The Wookiee let out another whimper and hugged the boy closer.
"Don't worry, we just want to make sure you're alright!" Skaak said, taking a step back. The large creature stood, with the unconscious boy in his arms. Yoda approached him.
"Nice it is to see you, Chewbacca!" The other Jedi looked confused as the Wookiee examined Yoda. After about 2 minutes a Wookiee loud war cry full of amusement filled the room. Yoda laughed and hugged his furry leg. Mace guided everyone out of the room into the meeting area.
"What are we to do with them?" He questioned his master.
"Mhmm….take them to Skywalker we will!" Yoda replied.
"Alright….you're sure to master?" He asked before picking up his comm. Yoda nodded as Windu began to ring up Skywalker.
