Just another day on Naboo. A warm sunny day. Perfect for swimming.
And at one of the lakes of Naboo, Padme's kids were getting swimming lessons from their Gungan friend Jar Jar Binks.
"Yousa doing good, Omega!" Jar Jar praised as he held Omega above the water before letting her go to try it on her own.
When Gabby was smaller, the gungan taught her to swim, so she couldn't think of anyone else she'd choose to ask to teach her siblings.
Jar Jar was graceful in the water, but on land, he was a total klutz. Many called him a walking disaster in his youth. But, Gabby loved him anyway. She thought he had a good heart, and he made her and her friends laugh at times. Who wouldn't love someone who makes people laugh?
Luke and Leia cooed as they crawled along the sand surrounding the water.
"No, no, Luke." Padme said, picking up her youngest son. "You're too little to swim by yourself."
But just because Jar Jar was good in the water, didn't stop him from getting hurt from time to time. And that was proven when Jar Jar fell down and hurt himself.
"Hold still, Uncle Jar Jar." Gabby said. And she kissed the Gungan on his cheek, allowing him to be healed.
Gabby and her siblings had a lot of fun in the water.
Ribbit!
Lamenta looked to her left to see a little frog hopping by.
"Look, a little frog." Lamenta said.
The frog started leaping on lily pads and catching flies in its mouth.
"Eww!" Gabby grimaced in disgust. "I would not wanna be a frog."
"What if it would turn into a handsome prince if you kissed him?" Lamenta asked.
"I would not kiss him."
"You kissed Jar Jar, and he's amphibious like that frog is." Boba said.
"That's different." Gabby said. "I like Uncle Jar Jar."
"Maybe you'd feel differently if you heard the new frog prince story." Lamenta said.
Lamenta searched the bookshelf for the book she told her cousin about.
"I thought I saw it here earlier." Lamenta said.
She sprouted her wings and searched the higher shelves.
"What are you looking for, Lamenta?" asked Qui-Gon.
"A book about a princess and a frog." Lamenta said. "But I can't find it anywhere."
Qui-Gon picked out a book.
"Would the title happen to be the Princess and the Gungans?"
"That's it?"
"I thought you said it was about frogs?" Gabby said.
"It is. Just wait until you actually hear the story." Lamenta said.
Qui-Gon had the children gather around. Omega and Boba each held one of the baby twins so they could hear the story too.
"Grandpa's a great storyteller, Leia." Omega told her baby sister.
"Have you ever looked up in the sky on a starry night and spotted a star that shined brighter than the rest?" Qui-Gon began. "Well, this is a story of how it took more than just a wish to make one's true heart's desire come true, by discovering what they wished for was not what they wanted. But what they needed was what they truly wanted."
