Thanks for the reviews everyone. Though I was hoping for a few more, but it's still early.

Time jump.

Chapter Two

Weird

Six years later...

Coruscant

Galactic City

Coruscant Park was a large park located near the Jedi Temple in Galactic City on Coruscant.

Not the largest in Galactic City, but still fair sized.

A place for peaceful picnics and a moment to rest.

It had numerous trails, statues and other artworks. A few statues of Jedi heroes, Supreme Chancellors including several of the Valorums, and many other notable beings.

Some notable beings even visited the park.

Jedi Masters often took their Padawans to the park for meditation, but the park was still open and full of ordinary beings. Despite being on Coruscant and directly next door to the hustle and bustle of the Senate District, the place was fairly quiet. Peaceful.

Peaceful for a former Senator and Queen.

No doubt, the soon to be Senator again Padmé Amidala was enjoying the quiet. Minus her screaming younglings running around.

Though despite the quiet, she was clearly on guard. Her Captain of Security, Gregar Typho was by her side. A guard located at each entrance and a half a dozen located around the play area, but not too close.

What Padmé Amidala, Gregar Typho, and his guards did not see was the shadows.

The shadow and the being that stood drenched in it.

The being's eyes lay not on the Senator, her guard, or the protocol droid.

His eyes lay only on the younglings. How they had grown in such a short time.

The Skywalker twins and the youngest child, whom he found to be the most fascinating.

Earlier, the twins- Luke and Leia were playing with their younger brother, Jinn. Now the youngest was being pushed by his mother on the jungle gym swing while the twins were playing with a laserball on the playing field.

The blond haired boy. Probably a perfect image of his father at that age. Of course, he wouldn't know. He was unable to see him all those years ago. Almost, but he had just missed him.

The girl looked rather similar to her mother. The famed Naboo politician. Chestnut hair and brown eyes. Some of the facial features also paralleled.

And last, but not least the dark haired boy.

The namesake of the Jedi Master Maul was sent to kill. He felt the child through the Force...except he didn't. His life Force of course, but Jinn Skywalker was...different than his siblings.

Fascinating, he thought. No, incredible.

"Sorry Leia," The boy Luke had yet to learn or control his powers.

Though he sensed he had the greatest potential. He threw the ball too hard. Landing right near him in the shadows. The girl ran to it and the boy followed behind, but before she reached her destination she stopped. Leia Skywalker didn't see him, but she sensed him.

The man wasn't one of those annoying holographers who were always taking holos of them and their parents. It upset their mother and sometimes made their father really mad.

"Here you go, my child," He gently handed the toy to her.

"Um," The girl took it and hesitantly replied, "Thank you, but we're not supposed to talk to strange beings." That and play with blasters and turn on Dad's lightsaber. Not until they properly trained or so their parents said.

"Leia..." Luke said in a concerned voice. He felt the weird feeling too.

"Luke?" Their mother walked over cautiously. "Leia?"

Captain Typho also followed closely behind her. One hand on his hilt of his blaster. The other on the button to summon the rest of his security. "Stand by," Typho whispered into his comlink out of caution. Three of the guards also neared their location.

"Mommy, who was that?" Luke wondered if he was a being his Mom worked with in the Senate or perhaps a Jedi his Dad knew.

Padmé looked around. "Who?" She only saw her children. And where?

Her son looked up to her, "I don't know," Luke shrugged. "A weird man."

"Very weird." Leia added as she looked back to the tree one last time.

Several blocks away in Republica 500, a figure snuck into the shadows of the lobby. Wrapped in not only his cloak, but in the Force.

So far they had not noticed him.

"Excuse me," said the figure.

"Hey," Said a Dashade.

Dashades were tall, reptilian humanoids. This one wore a nice cloak blue and black cloak. His rather expensive holograph equipment was just under his large right arm. "Hey, don't I know you?"

The hooded figure waved his hand, "You don't know me. Let me pass."

The Dashade blinked, and smirked. "It's him!" Raising his appendages.

Kriff, he had forgotten Jedi mind tricks did not work on Dashades.

The hooded figure groaned.

Why was the Force doing this to him?

"It's Anakin!"

Every head in the lobby whiplashed around, "SKYWALKER?"

"IT'S ANAKIN!"

"ANAKIN SKYWALKER!"

After finally making it into the turbolift, Anakin Skywalker made his way up to the turbolift. He could not wait until the parking garage renovations were completed, because until then, he had to put up with this every. Single. Day!

The turbolift doors parted. Anakin got off and went into the apartment. His fists and boots could have been made of iron.

He almost crushed...

Holo boxes? Three or four of them were stacked together by the door.

Before he could give this anymore thought or open them, someone yelled, "Daddy!"

"Daddy, you're home!"

Followed by Jinn.

Anakin greeted his children. Each with a kiss on the cheek. "How was the park today?" He wished to have gone, but the growing responsibilities of a Jedi Master never ceased. Which included meetings with other Masters and Knights. Also he promised to train and spare with the younglings including Galen, his ward.

"Good," They said in unison and continued on to tell him about climbing up and down the new jungle gym equipment. The new green slide and playing two different laser ball games.

"And I threw the ball really, really far!" Luke exclaimed.

"Yeah," Leia groaned. "I had to run after it and then that thing happened."

"What was that?" Anakin assumed by weird, that meant Luke ate a bug. Again.

Leia shrugged, "A weird man." Repeating the words Padmé heard earlier as they each picked a piece of fruit.

Anakin looked up from cutting up the rest of the fruit. That wasn't what he expected to hear. And it alarmed him. Along with his wife's glance.

"Really weird," Luke added as he took a bite.

Anakin scowled.

Why couldn't his children simply go to the park? Like any average child. Anakin and Padmé always did their best to shield from the paparazzi. They wanted their children to be normal. Well, as normal as possible.

"Did he take your holo?" Anakin asked.

To the relief of their parents, Luke and Leia each shook their heads.

"Did he ask either of you any questions?" About their parents. When they would begin their training at the Order? Did one or both have any interest in following in their mother's footsteps instead? The topics never ceased to end, and they probably never would.

"No." Luke and Leia answered in unison. Both were each getting a little annoyed. Their answers came with eye rolls and groans. Their mother and Captain Typho already asked them some of these questions.

"This man, what did he look like?" Anakin asked.

"I didn't get to see very well," said Luke. He looked to his twin, "Leia was closer."

Leia then went on to explain her encounter with him. The man handing the laserball back to her. Each word exchanged. "I don't know what it was, but I had this really weird feeling about him."

"So did I," Luke added. And he wasn't even that close to that man, or even heard what he and Leia said.

Leia looked to the right. "Specially after he called me my child."

Anakin and Padmé exchanged looks.

Before either could say anything, Leia finished with one more piece of information. "Oh, and I think he was a moon." She recognized the man's shadowy shape from a character on her favorite series on the HoloNet.

"You mean a Muun?" Anakin asked.

"Yes!" Leia said annoyed in an annoyed tone. She hated it when people corrected her. "That's what I said, a Muun."

Yep. What do you think?

Trivia: Galen Marek is the birth name of Starkiller, Vader's apprentice from The Force Unleashed. Dashades are really resistant to the Force.

Coming up: So much. Anakin does pay the Muun a visit and we find out who is...assuming most of you haven't figured it out already. ;D

I'm trying to work on the next chapter of TSCATGV, but I haven't had much time. Also I want to get it just right given that there's only a few chapters left.

Please leave a review.
