Notes:
1. This is one of my favourite Friend’s episodes and I have decided to tweak it and give my own twist, Star Wars style-very different from my last Star Wars Friends Crossovers
2. Padme and Anakin are married and have two beautiful twins, Luke and Leia who are approaching their first birthday. I made Padme and Anakin, Rachel and Joey because they seem more like them and go well together.
3. Obi Wan and Sabe are married and are uncle and aunt to the twins because Obi Wan and Anakin are brothers; their parents are James and Kristy
4. Palo is an artist, as usual and in the story, it is he to gets the call for an important meeting, different from the episode
5. Eirtae is engaged but her finance does not appear in this episode
6. Palo has a bit of Ross and Joey’s lines and attitude , Anakin has Joey’s and a bit of Ross’s, you’ll see where if you’ve seen the episode and Obi Wan is still the same, all Chandler, one part Ross
7. Like the actual episode, it is full of fun and surprises for the group.

Summary:
It’s almost Luke and Leia’s birthday and Anakin and Padme have planned a birthday party for them with all their friends, unfortunately, Obi Wan has booked a weekend away from Sabe and him on Alderaan, and after some reasoning, find themselves having to delay their trip just for the party, hoping to fly there afterwards. Thinking that it will be a perfect fun filled day, everything goes wrong! And Sabe and Obi Wan are pestering to leave to make their reservations. Will Luke and Leia have a party; Anakin and Padme don’t want them to remember?

Story-Setting-Dexter’s Diner
Anakin, Padme, Obi Wan, Palo and Eirtae are all chatting and hanging out at the diner, when Sabe arrives from work, Obi Wan sees her coming and decides to tell her the good news,

Sabe: “Hey” she beamed as everyone all greeted her friendly,

Anakin/Padme/Obi Wan/Eirtae/Palo: “Hey”

Obi Wan: “Honey, I got that room at the Sunset villa this weekend” as Sabe gasped, breaking out in a smile,

Sabe: “That place on Alderaan?” she asked, “You can take a hint” she laughed, realising that Obi Wan had been listening to her for weeks now, however, Padme and Anakin weren’t too please to hear it was this weekend,

Padme: “Wait, you guys, can’t go away this weekend. It’s Luke and Leia’s birthday. We’re having a party” she informed them as Sabe hoped they could push it back,

Sabe: “Well, can’t you have the party when we get back?” she asked as Padme and Anakin gave a small laugh,

Anakin: “No” he laughed,

Padme: “No, you can’t do that, then it wouldn’t be your real birthday” she pointed out as Obi Wan spoke up,

Obi Wan: in a sarcastic tone, “Gee, if only they were one and had any idea what a birthday was” as Anakin spoke up,

Anakin: “Come on, you guys, this is really important to us” before Sabe reminded them,

Sabe: :”Well, I’m sorry but Obi Wan and I really need a weekend away, to reconnect, emotionally” as Obi Wan added,

Obi Wan: “There’s this thing, I really want us to do. I read about it in Jedi Maxim” he explained, but Padme wasn’t convinced,

Padme: “Well, can’t you just go to Alderaan the next day?” she asked as Anakin spoke up once more,

Anakin: “Yeah we want everyone to be there. As much I hate to delay your weird sex games, brother” he smirked

Padme: “And I mean, you know, you guys. This is a big deal. How can we have their first birthday without their aunt and uncle?” she asked as Sabe sighed, turning back to Obi Wan,

Sabe: “Alright we‘ll stay. We can just fly there after the party” she assured him as Obi Wan huffed,

Obi Wan: “Fine, but if we end up not doing this Jedi Maxim thing because of this party….” He informed them before Sabe cut him off,

Sabe: “Believe me, that is not why we won’t be doing that!”


Setting: Padme and Anakin’s apartment

The day of the party had arrived, Luke and Leia had been up all night and didn’t sleep well, so they were still asleep, but that gave Padme , dressed in a stunning, knee length light blue dress with thick brown curls falling behind her, Eirtae had came over to help, Anakin had taken a nap along with the twins, Palo was due to arrive any minute, Sabe and Obi Wan were getting ready along with preparing their speeder to leave straight afterwards and James and Kristy on their way.

Padme moved over to Eirtae, who was setting down some of the food, she was so excitedly, she started to remember her own parties when she was younger,

Padme: You know, Eirtae, when I was little, on my birthday, my daddy would hide a present in every room of the house, and then he would draw a treasure map to help me find them all” she pointed out, settling down a plate of food,

Eirtae: Aw…I love family traditions like that. When Sache and I were kids, on our birthday, our step dad would sell his blood to buy us food” she giggled as Padme looked confused, just as the front door slid open once more and in came Palo, with a small holo camera, Padme had asked to bring. Anakin and her had decided to make this for their twins for when they were older,

Palo: “I brought the holo camera for Luke and Leia’s birthday video” he told her as Padme became more excited,

Padme: “Oh good, we had this idea to make a birthday video for Luke and Leia and we’ll give it to her when she’s 18” she explained as Eirtae admired their idea,

Eirtae: “Oh cool, wow it’s like a time capsule” she gasped as Palo agreed,

Palo: “Yeah” he replied as Eirtae went on

Eirtae: “Oh, just think they’re gonna be watching that video on a TV that hasn’t even been invented yet, with friends who right now are just babies and they’ll be living in cities that were built to escape the Geonasians” she finished as Palo looked up,

Palo: “That’s the hope” he smiled, turning back to Padme, “So is Luke and Leia awake yet?” he asked,

Padme: “No, its still naptime, but they’ll be up soon” she smiled as Palo looked around,

Palo: “Okay, where’s Anakin?” he asked as Padme laughed once more,

Padme: “I said it’s still nap time” she informed him, as the bedroom door opened once again and out strolled Anakin, dressed in black pants and a clean fresh shirt, lazily rubbing his eyes

Palo: turning on the holo camera, “Hey, there’s daddy Anakin. Say something to your twins on their 18th birthday” he told him as Anakin smirked,

Anakin: “18 huh?” he asked, jokingly however Palo wasn’t laughing,

Palo: ‘Anakin, no!” he exclaimed,

Anakin: “What? It’s for Leia’s hot friends!” he shot back as Palo rolled his eyes,

Palo: “When they see this, you’ll be 41 and married to Padme still” he reminded him as Anakin laughed once again,

Anakin: “And they’ll be starting to think about settling down and Padme won’t mind” he smirked as Palo simply looked confused as Padme turned to Palo, with a table,

Padme: “Palo, will you please set this up for people to put Luke and Leia’s presents on?” she asked as Palo smiled nervously, taking the table from her,

Palo: “Love to yeah” he smiled as she moved away, Palo leaned over to Eirtae, in a low whisper,

Palo: “We were supposed to bring presents?” he asked as Eirtae nodded,

Eirtae: “Yeah, I wrote Luke and Leia a song” she informed him as Palo became more worried,

Palo: “Oh yeah, how was I suppose to know?” he asked as Eirtae looked surprised,

Eirtae: “Palo, it’s a birthday party” she reminded him as Palo laughed,

Palo: “Yeah but it’s for twins who are just 1. What’s the point? The other day they laughed for an hour at a cup” he told her before going on, “Just a cup with a picture of **** on it, dressed as a farmer, and he’s standing next to this cow, and the cow says ‘El-moo’” he finished before starting to break out in a laugh, as he remembered the cup, “Man, that’s a funny cup” he added, as the door opened once again and in strolled Sabe and Obi Wan,

Sabe: “Hi” she smiled as Obi Wan followed her, with Anakin filming them with the holo camera,

Obi Wan: “Where’s the birthday twins?” he asked as Padme smiled,

Padme: “Oh, they’re still napping” she informed them as Obi wan added,

Obi Wan: “Oh sure they were up all night excited about the party, they know it’s happening” as Padme knew what they were doing but glad they were here,

Padme: “You guys, I know it’s not a big deal to you and that you have to get to Alderaan but it’s a big deal to us. Luke and Leia will never have a first birthday again” she told them, as Sabe felt bad,

Sabe: “You’re right. We’re sorry” she replied before going on “Now let’s wake up, Luke and Leia and get the fun times started!” she shouted as Padme quickly explained to her,

Padme: “Well, really, they didn’t sleep well last night so we can’t wait them up” as Sabe became angry again,

Sabe: “Are you fricking kidding, Skywalker!” she exclaimed, watching her walk past her as Anakin threw on a clean, silked shirt over his pants just as the door opened once again and in James and Kristy, all dressed up and excited to be here, Anakin keeps going on filming with the holo camera

All: “Hi” as Anakin added,

Anakin: “Hey!” still moving around with the holo camera

Padme: “I’m so glad you came” she assured them as James couldn’t believe they were already one.

James: “I can’t believe Luke and Leia are already one.” he gushed as Kristy smiled, over at Anakin, who smiled back, while holding the camera,

Kristy: “I remember your first birthday” she started, “Obi Wan was jealous of all the attention we were giving you. He pulled on his testicles so hard, we had to take him to the medical centre” she informed them as Anakin, tried hard not to laugh, turning the holo camera over to Obi Wan:

Anakin: “There’s something you didn’t know about your uncle” he spoke as Obi Wan gave him a cold glare through the camera, before Palo placing the camera down next to Sabe and moved over to where James and Kristy were moving too,

Palo: “Hey, Mr and Mrs Skywalker,” taking the present from them, smirking, “Hey, you know what would be fun? If we gave this present to Luke and Leia from all of us” he told them however they were not convinced,

James: “Which one are you?” he asked as Palo quickly placed the present on the table, and moving over to where Eirtae stood


Growing impatience with every minute that the twins were not awake, Sabe moved over in frustration, to where Obi Wan stood by the food table,

Sabe: “I can’t believe Luke and Leia are still asleep” she told him as Obi Wan agreed,

Obi Wan: “I know. What are we going to do?” he asked as Sabe looked around, before figuring something out,

Sabe: “I’ve got a plan. I’ve got a plan” she started, looking down, she picked up a platter, “I am going to ram this platter really hard into your ribs” she went on as Obi Wan looked stunned, “You’re going to scream out, and that’ll wake them up!” she exclaimed as Obi Wan simply looked her at her,

Obi Wan: “I’m not going to Alderaan, with this Sabe” he told her, while Palo had finally discovered what he could give the twins as a present,

Palo: “Hey, Eirtae? You know what?” he asked as she turned around to look at him, “I was thinking since you wrote a song, maybe I could do something for Luke and Leia using my talents” he explained as Eirtae looked stunned,

Eirtae: “So you’re going to hit on her and teach him how to charm ladies?” she asked, as Palo looked stunned,

Palo: “No, no, no. My talents as an artist” he corrected as Eirtae looked relieved,

Eirtae: “Oh” she replied as he explained further,

Palo: “You know, I could, like, maybe I could do a dramatic re-telling of one of their favourite paintings” he suggested as Eirtae suggested another idea,

Eirtae: “Or you could stick a fork in a shurra” she added as Palo looked serious at her,

Palo: “Hey, I think Luke and Leia might like it” he shot back just as Padme moved into the kitchen, over hearing their conversation,

Padme: “Oh, Luke and Leia might like what?” she asked as Palo froze, slowly turning around,

Palo: “My present” he replied as Padme smiled excitedly,

Padme: “What did you get her?” she asked as Palo corrected her,

Palo: “Actually, we prepared performances” before Eirtae chipped in,

Eirtae: “Separate performances” as Palo shot back,

Palo: “But equally real” as Padme suggested an idea, looking into the living room,

Padme: “Well, that sounds like fun” she told them before adding, “Well, people are getting a little antsy waiting for Luke and Leia to wake up from their nap, so would you mind performing them once now?” as Palo froze once more,

Eirtae: “Sure, yeah!” she exclaimed as Palo added,

Palo: “Okay” as Padme turned to inform the others of their performances,

Padme: “Okay, all right. Everybody, let’s get this party started. Palo and Eirtae are gonna perform a little something for us” she announced, taking a seat on the lounge, as Anakin moved for the video,

Anakin: “Oh great” he replied as Eirtae smiled at Palo,

Eirtae: “Aren’t you going to be embarrassed having nothing prepared?” she asked as Palo pointed out,

Palo: “Hey, I do it every week with a whole room of people looking at me, waiting” reflecting on his meetings and speeches at the art museum, moving to the front of the group as Padme asked,

Padme: “So, Palo, what are you going to do for us?” as Palo looked around,

Palo: “I will be doing a dramatic re-telling of one of Luke and Leia’s books” he replied as Padme looked confused,

Padme: “Oh, okay, which one?” she asked as Palo spied some holo paintings nearby,,

Palo: “Well, it’s one of their favourites” accidentally picking up one of Padme’s books, “Riding the Storm out: Coping with Postpartum Depression” before pulling a face and reaching for a holo projector, with a nervous laugh, he activated it and began,

Palo: “The Story of the Princess & Prince and her parents” he started, “The kingdom was blessed with the birth of the Queen’s new child, she stood on the balcony with her husband, holding the twins, looking out, “One day, your parents will not be here and you will need to rule the city, but know that we’ll always be with you

***********************************************

***********************************************
After several minutes, Palo reached the end of the holo story, ending with the same lines he began with,

Palo: They rocked their children and looked over the city, speaking softly, “One day, your parents will not be here and you will rule but know we’ll always be with you” closing off the story, he smiled at his friends as Padme was overwhelmed with emotion,

Padme: almost in tears, waved her hands, “Oh wow!” she cried as Anakin shook his head, looking stunned, as Padme went on, “That was amazing”

Anakin: “Thankyou so much for that gift” he told him as Obi Wan turned to Sabe, almost in tears himself,

Obi Wan: “I was not ready for this today” as Sabe placed her arms around him as Anakin echoed his reply,

Anakin: Amazing, amazing” before everyone started to get back just as Eirtae moved to the front as Padme, gasped,

Padme: “Eirtae, I’m sorry” she told her, taking a seat once more, “Eirtae has prepared something” she told them as they took their seats,

Eirtae: “That’s right” she replied, “I prepared a song for Luke and Leia from my heart to theirs, for there is no greater gift than the gift of music” she told him as Palo looked confused as she started,

Eirtae: “Luke, Leia, your names propose a dilemma cause not much rhymes with Luke and Leia, maybe a fluke or lily, happy birthday, Luke and Leia!” she finished, with a giggle as Padme looked around,

Padme: “Is that it?” she asked as now it was Eirtae to give a nervous smile,

Eirtae: “No, of course, not” she replied, “No, I’ve also prepared a reading” she went on, reaching for one of Padme’s books, “Sex and the Single Mother” she said, reading the title, “Finding your g-spot” she started before she was cut off Obi Wan, Sabe, Padme and Anakin,

Obi Wan/Padme/Anakin/Sabe: “Oh no, no, no!” they exclaimed, hoping to stop her before she went on.


Still waiting for the twins to wake, they were heavy sleepers when they wanted to be! Anakin instructed Palo to record his parent’s message to Luke and Leia,

Kristy: “Hello, Luke and Leia. Happy 18th birthday” she smiled as James added,

James: “Right now, that seems so far away. 17 years” as Kristy laughed,

Kristy: “Yes, you’ll be all grown up by them and we’ll be…. Well, your grandfather and I might not be here” she quietly finished as James spoke up once again,

James: “That’s true. This message could be coming to you from beyond the grave, Luke and Leia” as Kristy went on,

Kristy: “After all, my parents died very young” she replied as James added,

James: “And my cholesterol’s off the chart” as Kristy put in,

Kristy: ‘Remember, Leia, heart disease kills women too” as Palo quickly stopped them,

Palo: “Okay, cut! Great. Great. That was just….” He told them moving off as Kristy smiled,

Kristy: “Oh good” as Padme moved over to Palo, reminding him of the cake.

Padme: “Palo, don’t forget to get a shot of Luke and Leia’s cake” she told him, as he moved into the kitchen to bring the cake out,

Palo: Okay, sure” he replied, as she turn to Sabe

Padme: “You’re going to love this cake. I got it this bakery, in the Entertainment distinct, Carino’s.” she told her,

Sabe: remembering where she was talking about, “Oh, I love that place. They have the creamiest frosting! I use to hitch hike there when I was a kid” she told her as Padme simply smiled before going on,

Padme: “Anyway, they make these great novelty cakes, in all different shape. And if you give them a photo, they’ll copy it on icing” she explained as Sabe asked,

Sabe: “Did you give them a photo of Luke and Leia?” as Padme nodded, happily,

Padme: “Yes, on a cake, shaped like a bunny” she replied as Palo cutin,

Palo: “Uh, Padme, does this bakery bake by chance, erotic cakes, say for bachelorette parties?’ he asked as Padme looked confused,

Padme” moving over to where he stood, “Palo, what are you talking…..Oh my god! They put my babies’ faces on a thingy!” she exclaimed as everyone else rushed over,

Eirtae: smiling with glee, “Now, it’s a party!” she exclaimed,

Padme: “You guys, this is funny. If I wanted to do a disaster, I would have baked it myself!” she yelled

Anakin: “Uh, is it okay to say that I think it looks delicious?” he asked as Padme wasn’t laughing as Padme grabbed the phone, Kristy leaned back, to whisper to James,

Kristy: “James, look at this” she noted as he agreed,

James: ‘I know what you’re thinking, Kristy. The resemblance is uncanny” he told her as Obi Wan couldn’t stand to know that,

Obi Wan: clenching his teeth: “I am this close to tugging on my testicles again” he warned as Padme turned back to the group, still on the phone,

Padme: “No, no, this is not what I ordered, okay?” she informed them, “I went all the way to Entertainment district. So that I could have the perfect cake for my children’s birthday and I need a bunny cake right now!” she exclaimed as Palo made a suggestion,

Palo: “Ask them if it would be faster if we cut the babies face off the thingy, so we could place it on the bunny” before realising what he was talking about, “That is a weird sentence” he added as Padme scoffed, turning back towards the cake,

Padme: “Oh believe me, I am going to be bringing this cake back. I don’t even want it in my house” she told them, before she slapped Anakin’s hand to refrain him from touching it,

Padme: “Anakin! Don’t touch it!” she shouted as Anakin threw the fork down in frustration,

Anakin: “I’m so confused!” he exclaimed as Padme went on,

Padme: “Yes, I still want my children’s picture but on a bunny cake!” she exclaimed, “Yellow cake, chocolate frosting, with nuts!” she added, frustrated more as Obi Wan spoke up,

Obi Wan: “To be fair, this one does have nuts” which only received a cold glare from Padme


With Padme having left, hoping to return the cake, Obi Wan, Sabe and Anakin all hanged in the kitchen, Anakin telling Sabe how good it was to lend Padme her faster speeder,

Anakin: “Sabe, it was nice of you to loan Padme your speeder so she could get the cake” as Sabe huffed,

Sabe: “It was nice of her to pull my hair until I dropped the keys” she shot back as Anakin sighed, before turning on the holo camera again,

Anakin: “Well, you know, while we wait, you could tape your video message to Luke and Leia on their 18th birthday, huh, okay?” he suggested, holding it to them,

Obi Wan: “Hi Luke, Leia, it’s the year 2020. Are you still enjoying your nap?” he asked as Sabe smiled,

Sabe: “We’re your aunt Sabe and uncle Obi Wan by the way. You may not recognised us because we spoke to your parents in 17 years” she glared as Obi Wan added,

Obi Wan: “We use to be married but then we missed a weekend away together and things kind of unravelled. Because of you, happy birthday” he smiled” as Anakin sighed and shut off the camera as Sabe started again, “

Sabe: “Anakin, Padme promised that it would be over by now. We seriously have to leave now if we want to get it to Alderaan” she told him as Obi Wan pointed out,

Obi Wan: “I called them the last ship leaves in a half-hour” as Eirtae spoke up,

Eirtae: “And I have a massage client soon” as Anakin tried to stop them for leaving,

Anakin: “You guys, just, please, a little bit longer. I promise Padme will be back with the cake any minute, Sabe, remember the frosting, huh?” he asked as Sabe started to remember,

Sabe: “Alright, five more minutes” she assured him as the phone rang and Anakin quickly answered it,

Anakin: “Hello” he spoke, “Oh no, what happened?” “Okay, where are you? Okay, I’ll be right there” he told her, hanging up, writing something down on the datapad, as Obi Wan spoke,

Obi Wan: “Was that Luke and Leia? Are they up?” he asked sarcastically as Anakin looked at him,

Anakin: “Padme was pulled over speeding and she forgot her licence. So I have to bring it to her” he replied, as Eirtae moved towards the door,

Eirtae: “Well if you’re leaving, then I’m definitely going” she announced as Sabe jumped off her seat,

Sabe: “Wait, if anyone gets to go, it’s us, we’ve been complaining the longest” she reminded them as Anakin couldn’t believe what he was hearing,

Anakin: “No, wait, you guys. No, you can’t leave. Padme already feels bad that cake’s messed up. How do you think she’ll feel when she discovers that everyone’s left?” he asked as Obi Wan answered him,

Obi Wan: “I don’t know. You’ll tell us on Monday” as Anakin looked past them to Palo, lounging on the lounge,

Anakin: “Palo, you’re in charge. You make sure no one leaves” he instructed him, exiting the apartment as Palo agreed,

Palo: “Got it” he assured him, closing the door after him, turning back to the rest of the group, seeing Obi Wan getting to his feet,

Palo: “Hey, where do you think you’re going?” he asked as Obi Wan answered simply,

Obi Wan: “To the fresher” as Palo let him to go, before going on,

Palo: “Okay well, the rest of you get comfortable because we are gonna be here for a……” his voice trailed off as he heard noise in the fresher, “Wait a minute, there’s a window in there” he pointed out, moving towards the door, followed by Eirtae,

Eirtae: “Oh, no, he’s not getting away that easy!” she told them, as they both rushed into the fresher, startling Obi Wan,

Obi Wan: “What are you doing!?! Get the hell out of here!” he exclaimed as Palo and Eirtae quickly rushed from the fresher, too stunned at what they had mistaken the noise for,

Palo: “Well, that one did not have Luke and Leia’s face on it” he spoke as Eirtae nodded,

Eirtae: “It did not” she agreed

Palo: “No” he assured her as Kristy and James moved over into the kitchen,

Kristy: “Well, we’d better get going. It’s late, James can’t drive at night anymore. He has trouble staying in his lane” she informed them as James added,

James: “Last winter, I nearly flew into the corner of the Senate chamber. The holonet thought it was a hate crime” as Kristy smiling, giving Obi Wan a kiss on his cheek and a hug to Sabe,

Kristy: “Anyway, it was lovely seeing you” she told them as Palo smiled at them,

Palo: “Okay” he replied as Kristy and James said their goodbyes,

Kristy: “Bye. Bye, dear” she told them as Palo added,

Palo: “Nightly-nightly” he told them before he simply let them out, nicely as Eirtae stared in shock,

Eirtae:: “Palo! How could you let them leave?” she asked as Palo pointed out,

Palo: “Hey, hey, I’m not gonna mess with James. He’s a great man. He fought for our galaxy” as Sabe, already knowing that this wasn’t true, having heard the truth from Obi Wan, corrected him,

Sabe: “No, he didn’t. He pretended to be a quaker to get out of going to Naboo” as Palo gasped,

Palo: turning around to lock the front door, “Well, that’s it. He’s the last one to go. I’m locking you guys in” he informed him, with a smirk, as Obi Wan replied,

Obi Wan: “You do know I can just turn the locks around, right?” as Palo looked confused before realising that Obi Wan lived with Anakin and Padme once,

Palo: “Oh, forgot you use to live here” he remembered as Obi Wan suddenly wished he hadn’t said anything at all, just as the phone chimed again and Palo moved to answer it,

Palo: “Hello” he answered hearing the voice of his friend and mentor Kimberly,

Kimberly on the phone: “Palo, its Kimberly” she greeted him as he smiled,

Palo: “Hey” he replied as she went on

Kimberly on the phone: “So how’d your business interview go today” she spoke as Palo looked confused,

Palo: “What business meeting?” he asked

Kimberley on the phone: “The one I told you about last week” she pointed out,

Palo: looking stunned: “What? You never told me about any business interview” he told her as she went silent,

Kimberly on the phone: “Let me start over. I just got a call about a business interview” she started as Palo relaxed more,

Kimberly on the phone: “Let me start over. I just got a call about a business interview” she corrected herself as Palo breathed a sigh of relief as she went on “I think you can still make it. It’s down at the Courscant Senatorial Art Galley and you need to have a monologue prepared” she informed him as Palo looked worried,

Palo: “A monologue. I don’t have a……” his voice trailed when he spied the artwork he used as Luke and Leia’s present, “I got it” he told her, hanging up, he shrugged, “Uh, I’m gonna take off” he informed them, starting to leave, however, Sabe, Obi Wan and Eirtae weren’t about to let him go that easily,

Sabe: “What?” she asked him as Eirtae quickly informed him,

Eirtae: “Wait! You don’t get to leave. I’ve got a massage client waiting outside my door any minute” she reminded him

Sabe: “And we paid for a room that we’re suppose to be in right now” she added as Eirtae explained to them,

Eirtae: “Well, okay, now only one of us has to stay here with Luke and Leia. Okay, and as the person who realised that, I get to go” she told them before Sabe stopped her,

Sabe: “No, no, no, no, no” she quickly stopped her, “Let’s figure out a fair way to decide who’s staying” she explained as Palo spoke up,

Palo: “Oh, I got it. Okay, everyone pick a number from one to 10, all right?” he asked before adding, “Whoever gets the highest number gets to go first” as Sabe just rolled eyes,

Sabe: “Okay, 10” she told them as Palo went on,

Palo: “Okay, Sabe picks 10. I call nine” he told them, looking around, “Anyone else?” he asked as Eirtae suggested another idea,

Eirtae: “No, let’s just draw straws” she told them as Sabe agreed,

Sabe: “Okay” but Palo wasn’t giving up,

Palo: “Or we could flip a coin and multiply the answer….” He was cut off by Obi Wan, who was bored of Palo’s tries,

Obi Wan: “I’m begging you to stop” he told him as Palo went quiet,

Palo: “Right” he agreed as Sabe remembered another idea,

Sabe: “Okay, how about this? We got wind up toys for Luke and Leia for their birthday. We can make them race, and whoever comes in last stays” she explained as Eirtae became excited,

Eirtae: “Yeah, let’s do that!” she shouted as Obi Wan joined in,

Obi Wan: “That sounds more than the thing we’ll do on Alderaan!” he exclaimed as all four rushed over to the present table, where Sabe picked up the three toys for each of them,

Sabe: “Okay, everybody, pick your toys!” she told them as Eirtae screamed once more,

Eirtae: “I want the dolphin!” as Obi Wan corrected her,

Obi Wan: “That’s a bear!” he as she screamed once more,

Eirtae: “I’m too excited!” as Sabe handed them out,

Sabe: “Eirtae, you get the bear, Palo, you get the robot” she told them as Palo smirked,

Palo: “Oh yeah!” he muttered as Sabe went on,

Sabe: “And Obi Wan and I get the dog” she finished, “And the race is going to go from here to here” she added, taking two cups, she indicated where the markers would be as Obi Wan, Eirtae and Palo moved over to her,

Sabe: “Now, the one who comes in last stays!” she reminded them

Palo: “Okay, ladies and gentleman wind your toys” he informed them,

Sabe: “Okay. On your mark, get, set go!” she exclaimed as Eirtae urged her little toy on,

Eirtae: “Go, go, go!” she shouted as Palo joined in,

Palo: “Come on, robot!” he exclaimed,

Sabe: “What are you carking at?” she asked as the small dog just barked angring Sabe and Obi Wan, “Well, how is that gonna help?” she asked it as Obi Wan spoke up,

Obi Wan: “I brought you! How did I forget that that’s all you do?” as Palo and Eirtae’s toys finished,

Palo: “Way to go, robot!” he told him, picking up as Eirtae picked up her,

Eirtae: “Good job, Alan” she told the bear, placing them back on the table before turning back to Obi Wan and Sabe,
Palo: “Hey, good race, you guys” he told him

Eirtae: “Yeah, see you later” she told them, moving to the door as Sabe quickly pointed out,

Sabe: “No, no, no, Wait. We didn’t lose. The rules clearly stated that the last one to cross the finish line was the loser, well, our dog never crossed the finish line, so technically….” She was cut off by Obi Wan,

Obi Wan: “They left” he simply replied as Sabe turned around, to see that Palo and Eirtae were in fact gone, leaving them behind.


It was getting too late to go to the bakery, so Padme and Anakin were on their way home; unfortunately, she had just received more bad news from Sabe,

Padme: “No, there isn’t time to go to the bakery. We’re gonna come home?” she told Sabe over the phone before exclaiming, “Everybody left? All right, well, tell Luke and Leia that we’ll be there as soon as we can. Bye” she finished, hanging up, she went to place the phone back in her bag, before the speeder started to slid,

Anakin: “Padme!” he exclaimed as she quickly took control again,

Padme: “Oh, god, sorry!” she replied as Anakin added,

Anakin: “I can’t believe they gave you a ticket. You’re such a good driver” as Padme just sighed,

Padme: “Luke and Leia are awake” she told him as he looked over at her,

Anakin: “Yeah?” he asked as Padme sighed once more,

Padme: “I can’t believe this. This is their first birthday, she’s awake, we’re not even there. Everybody left. We still have this stupid obscene cake”

Anakin: “Hey, maybe I can fix that. You know, try to turn it into something else” he tried to assured her as she went on,

Padme: “Oh, don’t even bother” she replied, “We’ve already ruined their first birthday. And do you know how important these early experiences are, Anakin? Very!” she informed him, “According to the back cover of that book that Palo gave me” she added as Anakin looked up from his work, trying to re assure her once more,

Anakin: “Padme, they’re not gonna remember this” he told her,

Padme: wanting to agree but couldn’t “I guess” she muttered, “Oh, I just had such an idea of what this day would be like, you know?” she asked, “Luke and Leia, laughing, and everybody singing gathered around their cake, singing ‘Happy Birthday, and then we would all…” she stopped when a another speeder slowed down in front of her, causing her to yell, “Hey, get out of the road, you stupid student driver!” she shouted, as Anakin looked at her,

Padme: “They have to learn” she told him as Anakin finally finished his work,

Anakin: “Hey” he spoke as she asked,

Padme: “What?” as he went on,

Anakin: “This is not bad” as Padme glanced down at the cake, in shock,

Padme: “Oh, my god. Look, you made it into a bunny. How did you do that?” she asked still stunned,

Anakin: “Well, I just made these two things cheeks, and then I split this to make ears” he explained as it brought a smile to Padme,

Padme: “Well, I am very impressed” she replied as Anakin smirked,

Anakin: “Some can sing, some can dance, I, apparently can turn phallic cakes into woodland creatures” he laughed as they continued to make their way back home.


Sabe and Obi Wan sat on the floor of the living room, with Luke in Obi Wan’s lap and Leia in Sabe’s lap, both dressed in the clothes Padme had set out for them, Sabe had lined up all their toys, now explaining to them about how to tidy them up,

Sabe: ‘Now another way to organise your stuffed animals is by size” she told them as Obi Wan rolled his eyes,

Obi Wan: “I’m sorry, is this a game for Luke and Leia or a game for Sabe?” he asked as Sabe looked taken back,

Sabe: “Game?” she asked, hoping she was teaching them, not playing games as Obi Wan shrugged, looking at Luke and Leia,

Obi Wan: “Luke, Leia, do you even know it’s your birthday today? You’re one. 1year old. That’s little” he told them, as Luke and Leia unexpectedly shocked them

Luke and Leia: “One” they softly spoke as Sabe and Obi Wan gasped,

Obi Wan: “That’s my twins” he praised them as Sabe smiled at Leia and Luke,

Sabe: ‘That’s how old you are” she told them, as Obi Wan looked shocked,

Obi Wan: ‘Did I teach them that? Did I just impart wisdom?” he asked as Sabe smiled, looking at him, as she cuddled Leia,

Sabe: “Awe, I want one” she replied as Obi Wan looked at her,

Obi Wan: “I know” he told her as Obi Wan looked around,

Obi Wan: “There’s no one around, why don’t we take these two?” he asked as Sabe piped up,

Sabe: ‘And head to Endor” as Obi Wan quickly added,

Obi Wan: ‘I was kidding” as she shook her head,

Sabe: ‘I wasn’t, let’s get going!” she exclaimed just as the front door slid open once more and in came Eirtae,

Eirtae: “Hey, are Anakin and Padme back?” she asked, before seeing Leia and Luke on Obi Wan and Sabe’s laps,

Sabe: “No, not yet” she replied,

Eirtae: “Oh good, I didn’t miss the party” she added, as Sabe asked,

Sabe: What about your massage client?” she asked as Eirtae sat down next to Obi Wan,

Obi Wan: “I just felt so bad missing this. So I just slipped him a little something, you know. As long as I’m back in five or six hours, it’ll be all right” she replied just as the door opened once more and Palo rushed in, almost out of breath

Palo: “Okay, if, Anakin and Padme ask, I’ve been here the whole time” he breathed, “The whole time” he repeated, leaning on the wall for support, as the door slid open again, he turned around,

Palo: “I’ve been here the whole time!” he exclaimed as Anakin and Padme simply looked at him,

Anakin: “Palo, we just saw you. You ran past us in the hall” he informed him, placing the cake down on the kitchen bench as Padme slipped off her cloak,

Padme: “Palo, I don’t care that you left. I’m just glad that you’re here” she replied, hanging the cloak up as Palo moved for the holo camera as Obi Wan waved them over,

Obi Wan: “Hey, guys, come over here, look what Luke and Leia just did” he told them as they moved closer, and Obi Wan turned back to the twins,

Padme: “What?” she asked, moving over to where they were sitting,

Obi Wan: “Luke, Leia, how old are you?” he asked, “How old are you?” he asked once more, holding up his finger, as Luke and Leia smiled, holding up a finger each,

Luke and Leia: “One” they bubbled as Anakin and Padme gasped in amazement as Padme felt the tears swelling,

Padme: “Oh, Luke and Leia, that’s right. You’re that many” she cried as Palo smirked, holding the cake in his hands,

Palo: “They’re geniuses. Padme, you know what this means?” he asked as she snapped,

Padme: “No, no art classes!” knowing well, they would be schooled then taught in the ways of the Jedi as Palo huffed,

Palo: “Dammit!” he exclaimed, “I’ll put a candle on the cake” he told them as Padme sighed,

Padme: “Oh, Luke, Leia, look at your stuffed animals lined up so neatly” she told them as Sabe smirked,

Sabe: “Thanks” she replied, beaming about her work as Palo moved back carrying the birthday cake, as Anakin moved behind Obi Wan, watching Palo set the cake down, Anakin spoke,

Anakin: “Here we go, Luke and Leia’s first birthday cake” looking up at Padme, who looked like she was nearly in tears,

Anakin: “What’s wrong, are you okay?” he asked as Padme waved her hands in front of her,

Padme: “Nothing, I’m fine. These are happy tears” she cried, “This is just what I wanted” she finished, as everyone looked down at the cake, Sabe and Obi Wan holding onto Luke and Leia as Eirtae pointed out,

Eirtae: “Hey, you look you made it into a bunny” as Anakin looked once more, before complaining,
Anakin: “What is wrong with me? It looked more delicious when it was a thingy!” he exclaimed


As night fell, Padme and Anakin looked around the apartment, filled with presents, food and empty plates, Luke and Leia had been put to bed after tiring themselves out from playing with all their toys and Palo, Obi Wan, Sabe and Eirtae were all gone, using the quiet time to their advantage, Padme and Anakin felt it was time for their message to Luke and Leia,

Anakin: “Ready?” he asked, positioning himself alongside Padme,

Padme: “Yes” she smiled as Anakin leaned over to the holo camera, turning it on,

Anakin: “And record” he added as Padme and Anakin looked into the camera,

Padme: “Hi, Luke and Leia. Well, your first birthday has come and gone, and…” they were cut off by the sounds of Obi Wan, Sabe, Palo and Eirtae’s screams coming from the hall, moving towards the door, they slid it open to see their four friends sitting around a small group of toys meant for the twins, racing them against each other, hoping their’s would win,

Obi Wan/ Sabe/Palo/Eirtae: “Go! Go! Come on!” they screamed, as Eirtae went on,

Eirtae: “Go! Go, Alan! Run you hairy bastard!” she screamed as Anakin, Padme, Sabe, Obi Wan and Palo all looked in shock at her sudden outburst.
