A/N: Hey, guys. Got another one for ya. This one will be about Anakin having a younger twin sister named Ariana Skywalker, and their journey through The Phantom Menace. Hope you guys enjoy.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
On the desert planet of Tatooine, in the city of Mos Espa, two children lied upon the rooftop of their hut. Twins to be exact; a brother and a sister. However, not only were they twins, they were the best of friends. Their names were Anakin and Ariana Skywalker. Anakin, the elder of the two, had dark blond hair and wore a beige tunic and pants. He also had on a brown holed undershirt and boots, along with a brown belt wrapped around his waist. While Ariana, his sister, had long brown hair that was braided into two french-braid pigtails that reached a little past her shoulders. She was clothed in a forest green colored tunic with a grey undershirt, beige pants, along with brown boots and a brown belt wrapped around her waist. Additionally, not only do they share the same height and age, which is nine years old, but they also have same of bright blue eyes.
For as long as they can remember they and their mother, Shmi Skywalker, have been slaves on this dust ball of a planet. And while they did not have much and must do the bidding of others, the Skywalker family were happy as long as they had each other.
On occasion you would you would find the twins laying upon the roof of their home, on a night like this, gazing up at the thousands upon thousands of twinkling stars, dreaming of one day of exploring them all and for a new and better life.
"Hey, Ani?," Ariana asked as they gazed up at the sky.
"Yeah?," he inquired.
"Do you think we'll ever be able to see any the other planets?"
"Of course. And we'll become Jedi, come back, and free all the slaves!"
"Really?" Ariana turned to look at him with excitement.
"Yeah. Why wouldn't we?," he asked confusedly. When he did not hear an answer, he turned his head to see his twin giving him a look that said, "Isn't it obvious?" It took him a second to understand why she was looking at him like that, but when he did the only thing that came out his mouth was a, "Oh, yeah."
It was the small explosive device which is implanted into all of the slaves. If they ever tried to escape, it would be the last thing that they would ever do.
When neither of them had anything else to say, they both turned to look back at the stars. After a minute or two of silence passed, it was Anakin who started up the conversation when a thought crossed his mind. He sat up and turned towards his sister. "Hey, Ari?," he asked.
"What's up?," she answered doing the same thing.
He held out his pinky finger and said, "Promise me that we'll always be there for each other?"
Ariana smiled as sat up and hooked her pinky finger around her brother's. She knew how important their family was to him, because it was important to her as well. "Promise." She then jokingly said, "And the one who breaks our promise first, has to roll around in bantha poodo."
Anakin laughed at that then and managed out, "Deal."
"And besides even if we're far away from each other we can still thought-talk with each other," she joked further. For as long as they can remember they have been able to talk with each other by hearing one another's thoughts. While they do not know how they are able to do it, nobody except their mother knows; which is because Shmi Skywalker is afraid of what will happen to her children should anyone ever find out about it.
"We are not calling it that," Anakin declared annoyed. This caused Ari and burst out laughing which, in turn, made Ani laugh as well.
After the siblings' laughing fest was done and with smiles on their faces, Ariana spoke up. "Come on," she said, "let's go work some more on C-3PO before mom says it is time to go to bed."
"Yeah," Anakin agreed.
And so, the Skywalker twins went back down into their shelter for the night, unaware of how much or how fast their lives would be changed forever.
