This is inspired by two things that actually happened to me while I was playing with my youth pastor's five-year-old son while on a youth trip to Chicago. That kid is so adorable and fun!
"Take Another One"
"Hey, child, give me back my sunglasses!" Qui-Gon Jinn said to a five-year-old Obi-Wan Kenobi who had pulled his aviator sunglasses off his face and shoved them on his own small face. They were riding the shuttle back to the Jedi Temple after Qui-Gon had taken Obi on a tour of the Senate Building. The sunglasses slid down his face and the small child pushed them back up and held them there with hands that were losing their baby fat. Qui-Gon smiled and took his portable datapad out of his pocket and snapped a picture. That kid was just too cute!
Obi-Wan smiled and flipped the glasses upside down.
"Take another one," he ordered, cocking his head in a pose. Qui snapped another shot, then set the 'pad down. Obi-Wan flipped the glasses right side up on his face and pulled a "cool dude face". "'nother one," he demanded. Qui-Gon complied. Obi-Wan repositioned the glasses, this time on his knees.
"On your knees? You're silly!" Qui-Gon said, taking another snapshot. Obi-Wan moved the glasses to the toes of his boots.
"'nother one!" the five-year-old demanded. Qui-Gon rolled his eyes and did as asked. This continued for a while until Qui-Gon had over thirty pictures on his datapad.
"Okay, kid, hand 'em over," Qui-Gon teased, holding out his hand. Obi-Wan obediently placed them in his hand, but insisted on more pictures. Making a "binocular" shape with his hands around his eyes, he smiled and said,
"Take another one!"
"Okay, one more!" Qui-Gon agreed, taking one more picture. Obi-Wan repositioned his hands.
"'nother one?"
"Okay, one more." Qui snapped the picture. Obi-Wan smiled and put his hands down. Qui-Gon looked down to put his datapad away and Obi-Wan had grown suddenly quiet.
"Obi-Wan?" He asked quietly. No answer. The child had fallen asleep. The ride back to the Temple was much quieter than it had been. Qui-Gon flipped through the pictures on his datapad, deleting the ones that were blurry or pointless and keeping the ones he liked. His favorite was the "cool dude" one. He set it as the background on his 'pad, then put it away.
It had grown dark and the Jedi Temple loomed. The shuttle slowed to a stop. Qui unbuckled the sleeping boy and lifted him out if his car seat, then stepped off the shuttle. Obi-Wan whimpered as Qui-Gon shifted the boy to his hip.
It was late, much later than Obi-Wan was used to. As Qui-Gon walked through the Temple, Obi-Wan laid his head on Qui's shoulder and cried every so often.
"Okay, okay. You're doing good, buddy. We're almost there," Qui-Gon soothed, patting the child's back. They finally arrived back at the creche and the Master set Obi-Wan down on his bed. Obi cried and clutched at his tunics, still unaware of what was going on.
"Shh, shh, almost done," Qui said quietly, slipping the child into his pajamas. Tucking the child under his blankets, Qui-Gon pressed a kiss to his forehead, the left for the night.
...
Does Star Wars even have sunglasses? Whatever.
