"YOU WANT ME TO WHAT!?" Ani screamed into his comm causing Obi-Wan and Padme to run into the room.
"There is no way I'm going to just take some random kid and his pet into my household!" Obi-Wan and Padme exchanged confused looks.
"DOES IT LOOK LIKE I CARE IF THEY WERE ABANDONED!" Padme slapped her husband for behaving in such a manner.
"ANI! Let me talk to him!" And with that, she took the comm out of her husband's hands to continue the conversation with Master Windu.
"Hello Master Windu, this is Padme, Anakin's wife; so what's the problem again?" She asked in a sweet voice.
"Well, uh, you see there was this boy and a Wookiee who was abandoned here by Dooku and Yoda has requested that you guys should take him in….at least for the time being." He explained.
"We would love to!" She hung up the comm and walked over to the couch where Obi-Wan and Anakin sat.
"They are coming over soon!" She told them both with a smirk.
"YOU'RE LETTING THEM STAY HERE!" Anakin screamed falling off the couch and landing upside down on the ground. "YES! Now I heard the boy likes to fly…" She looked at her husband's eyes light up.
"HE CAN STAY!" Obi-Wan and Padme laughed.
Yoda's shuttle landed at Anakin and Padme's apartment and Obi-Wan met him at the platform.
"Hello, Master Yoda." He greeted with a smile as the Wookiee and boy came out of the shuttle behind Yoda. The Wookiee gripped the boy's hand and walked over the 2 Jedi.
"Hello, Chewbacca, my name is Obi-Wan Kenobi. I am a friend to master Skywalker. Follow me." He insisted and led the way back into the apartment.
Inside, Padme and Anakin sprang from the couch to greet the new guest.
"Hello I am Padme, and this is my husband, Anakin!" She had a warm charming smile on.
"And what's your name." She bent over so now she was face to face with the young, dirty boy.
"The name is Han. Han Solo. The best and youngest pilot in the galaxy!" He responded, his voice full of cockiness.
"Well it's very nice to meet you, Han" She giggled and let Ani introduce himself.
"I like your attitude kid... I hate to break it to you kid, but I am the best pilot in the galaxy." Ani pointed to himself with the same cocky attitude Han had used.
Padme rolled her eyes.
"MOM!" Suddenly Luke burst into the room holding his favorite toy T-16 hopper in his hands.
"MOOOOM!" He yelled again. "What!" She eyed her son and looked back to the guest and Luke then backed away.
"Nevermind….I can wait." He said in a very annoying voice and went back to his room.
"That's my son, Luke, don't worry him and Leia can introduce himself later," Padme explained.
"Leia? What's a Leia?" The little Corellian questioned with a joking smile. Ani and Padme burst out in laughter.
"You're a funny kid, ya know that right?" Ani said in between laughs.
"Yeah….I know!" He crossed his arms and held his chin up high.
"Alright, why don't we get you settled in?" Padme looked to the boy who nodded and took him to Luke and Leia's room where he would have to stay.
"Now my Wookiee friend….lets chat shall we!" Ani exclaimed and took the Wookiee for some Alderaanian Ale.
"BUT MOM-" Leia was cut off by her mother giving her a stern look.
"You haven't seen him yet! How do you know you're not gonna like him!" She scolded.
"Cause it's a boy!" She shot back at her mother who just rolled her eyes. "Just be nice!" Padme said as Luke walked into the room with the boy on his left. Padme left the room to the 3 kids. Leia examined the boy.
He was about a foot taller than her, he looked about 9 or 10. He wore a scruffy shirt that looked a bit big on him. A satchel with a blaster rested at his hip and his pants had red Corellian blood stripes down the sides. His hair was just above his shoulders and it looked all knotted up. Along with his clothing and hair, his face was dirty with dust, and blood smeared across it.
Without realizing it Leia's eyes lit up with sparkles and her face went a bright shade of pink.
"What...oh, I mean, it's nice to meet you, I'm Leia….Leia Skywalker" Leia managed to stutter as she put her hand out for him to shake. He did. His cheeks were blushing as well.
Her heart fluttered as he started to respond, "Well it's nice to meet ya' too, Leia. The name is Han Solo." He put on his best, charming smile and sat in a chair next to a little desk with papers scattered all over it. Leia and Luke sat on the bottom bunk of their bunk beds, which happened to be Luke's since he was afraid of heights….wimp.
"I- I'm gonna go talk to mom." Leia spat out and went to find her mother, leaving Han and Luke to wonder what the heck to talk about.
"So…..That's your sister huh?" Han asked, breaking the silence.
"My twin, to be exact. But yes, I was in fact born about 31 seconds before her. But she is more mature. Well as mature as a 7-year-old girl can get!" Luke chuckled at the last part. Han was trying to process what he said.
"So...Han, how old are you?" Luke asked with a curious face.
"Oh me….I don't really know the exact date...but I believe I am 10. I was orphaned when my parents were killed b-by the e-empire." He looked away ashamed of his childhood. Luke didn't really know how to respond so he just kinda put a reassuring hand on his shoulder.
"Mom-mom mom MOM!" Leia called out as she ran to her parent's bedroom where her mother was brushing her hair out.
"What's wrong Lelia?" She put her brush down to look at her daughter's flushed face and jittery hands. "I think….I think….I might have a tiny wince of a crush on….Han" she mumbled and dramatically flopped onto her mother's bed.
"Ah...I see. So is that all?" Her mother wore a smirk on her face and she lied down next to her daughter.
"I JUST MET HIM! And he is the most handsomest boy I had ever seen. But I don't know if he likes me back….and I REALLY REALLY like him! ARG! WHY IS LOVE SO HARD MOM!" Leia said as she was lying face down now.
"I'm right here ya know!" Anakin sighed and chuckled.
"Oh right...sorry Dad?!" She didn't bother to look at her father and just mumbled an apology.
Padme gave him a look saying Do something and Anakin gave her a look that said, imma dude? What am I gonna do? Bro hug her?!.
Anakin cleared his throat "Well, uhh.. maybe try to get to know him a little better" Anakin looked up at Padme. Padme smiled at Anakin.
"Dad and I are going to sleep so can you guys please keep it down?" Padme said as she brushed her fingers through Leia's long, brown, thick hair.
"Try and get some sleep will ya?" With that Leia strode out of her parent's room and headed over to where Luke and Han sat, in her bedroom.
