Setting: Sabe and Obi Wan’s apartment: Sabe is preparing to set the table with the dinner set while Obi Wan and Palo are watching the Thanksgiving Parade, when Sabe asks Obi Wan if he could help her get the dinner set down from the cupboard, he decides to ask if this year they could use the beautiful fancy dinner set they received as a gift from their wedding, of course, Sabe loves that dinner set and has a few worries:
Sabe: standing up on one of her kitchen chairs, reaching for the dinner plates, she calls over to Obi Wan, sitting in the living room,
Sabe: “Hey, hon? Would you help me get the plates down?”
Obi Wan: jumping to his feet and moving over to where Sabe stood, “Hey, here’s an idea. Why don’t we use our wedding china today?”
Sabe: “No, I think we should save our china for something really special” she smiled, taking out some more plates, “Like, if the Chancellor of the Republic comes over” she points out as Obi Wan just sighs,
Obi Wan: “Honey, he keeps cancelling on us, take the hint” he reminded her as Sabe steps off the chair, moving over to where he stood,
Sabe: “What, if something breaks? They’re expensive” she reminded him as Obi Wan fought back,
Obi Wan: “What is the point of having if we never use them?”
Sabe: Finally, seeing Obi Wan’s point, “Okay, but if something breaks and the Chancellor comes over…” she started
Obi Wan: “I will explain it to him” he assured her, while Sabe just laughed,
Sabe: “Like I’d let you talk to the Chancellor” she informed him as Obi Wan turned back over to see Palo, watching keenly at the parade,
Palo: “Wow, the parade is really good this year” he yelled back to his friends, before adding, “Man, those horses can c***” with a slight smirk to himself
Announcer on Television: “Next up is a marching band from, Alderaan”
Obi Wan: “Alderaan? That’s like four hours from Coreilla!” he points out, letting out a little cheer to the television as the announcer continues:
Announcer on Television: “Here’s the float with the stars of the popular daytime soap, ‘Galaxies Love”
Palo, still watching with interest, suddenly realised where he was suppose to be, and his eyes nearly fell from his sockets, jumping to his feet, “Oh my god!” he exclaimed
Obi Wan: slowly turned around, still shocked as Palo, “Aren’t you one of the stars of the popular daytime soap, ‘Galaxies Love?” he asked, obviously stating the obvious.
Palo: “I forgot! I’m supposed to be there! I can’t believe I forgot! I usually write stuff like this down on my arm” he replied as Obi Wan simply grabbed his right arm, and pushed back his sleeve where Palo saw his reminder,
Palo: angrily pulling his sleeve back down: “Stupid long sleeves!” he yelled as Obi Wan sighed,
Obi Wan: “What are you gonna do?” he asked him as Palo simply shrugged,
Palo: “I’ll come up with a good reason why I wasn’t there. The producers are gonna be so mad. They sat us all down yesterday and said, “Everybody has to be there, 6am sharp. That means you, Darklighter” he informed him, shocked,
Palo: “Like I was some kind of idiot” he finished
Obi Wan: his arms folded in front of him only pointed out, “Well, you proved them wrong”
Palo: “Yeah” he agreed, his eyes transfixed on the television.

Setting: Anakin and Padme’s apartment. Padme is getting Leia ready before they head over while Anakin packs Leia’s baby bag, listening to Padme sweetly talking to Leia, in her beautiful white bassinet.
Padme: “Oh, Leia, this is your first thanksgiving” she gushed at her daughter, pulling her lovely dress over her, “What are you thankful for? Mummy’s boobies” she joked as Anakin laughed nearby, before moving the bag over towards the door:
Anakin: “A lot, of people are thankful for those” he answered as Padme sighed, before straightening up and turning towards the bedroom to tidy herself up when a surprise knock came at the door:
Sola: through the door: “Hello?” Padme?” she asked as Padme and Anakin looked at each other, wondering who was at their door
Padme: “Who is it?” she asked back
Sola: “It’s your favourite sister” she smiled through the door
Padme and Anakin: “Rabe?” they ask
Sola: “Sola!” she answered as Padme quickly turned back to Anakin,
Padme: “Hide my rings” she informed him, watching him move off as she turned towards the door, opening the door to see her sister with her arm leaning on the door frame’s post
Padme: “Sola! Happy Thanksgiving!” she exclaimed
Sola: taking a breath: “Do you have a hair straightener?” she asked, her deep, dark brown hair slightly frizzy
Padme: “Um, hi” she went on, moving to embrace her sister as Sola returned her embrace,
Sola: “Hi” she replied, before getting to the point, “Hair Straightener” she added
Padme: “I haven’t seen you in, like, a year” she reminded her, as Sola brushed past her, to place her bag by the small glass table near the lounge,
Sola: “I know. I know. I’ve just been crazed” she replied, searching through her bag for her blue brush
Padme: “Well me to, I had a baby” she hinted, placing her arms on her slender hips as Sola whipped around,
Sola: “I decorated dad’s office” she informed her
Padme: “Yeah? Well, unless you pushed a desk out of your v*****, not the same thing” she corrected her as Sola got down to the point again,
Sola: “Listen, about that hair straightener, honey, I really need one. I’m gonna be having dinner at my boyfriend’s house” she announced to her sister just as little Leia began to coo from her bassinet, causing Sola to look over and gasped in amazement,
Sola: “Oh, my god” she started as Padme simply beamed,
Padme: “Uh, huh” she replied, as Sola leaned over the bassinet,
Sola: “Is this Luke?” she asked, thinking that her sister had a boy, as Padme corrected her,
Padme: “It’s Leia” as Sola looked over at her,
Sola: “It’s a girl?” she asked blankly just before Anakin re emerged and moved next to Padme,
Anakin: “Hey, Sola” as Sola turned to acknowledge him and Padme refreshed her memory,
Padme: “Sola, you remember Anakin?” she asked as Sola became confused,
Sola: “Not really, but you are much cuter than that geeky guy she used to date” she informed him as Anakin felt humiliated, correcting her,
Anakin: “That was me” he plainly replied
Sola: giving a small smile, “No, he was this creepy who went on to become a Jedi and he had this huge crush on her since he was like nine” she went on
Anakin: “Still me” he kept insisting
Sola: waving her arms at him, smiling: “No, I’m not talking about you. It was your fat friend’s brother with that bad Jedi haircut” trying to jog her sister’s memory as Anakin started to become frustrated, stepping in,
Anakin: “Okay, Sola, I’m gonna save you some time, okay? All me!” he exclaimed
****************************************************
Meanwhile, over at Sabe and Obi Wan’s, Obi Wan was setting the plate down on the glass dinner table in the kitchen, as Sabe handed them to him, of course, being that they were the fancy dinner set, Sabe still had to ensure that Obi Wan was handling them gently:
Sabe: “Careful, careful” she instructed as he set another one day, “Careful!” she yelled, which almost caused him to drop the plate,
Obi Wan: “I’ll tell you what. For the rest of our lives….I’ll be careful until told otherwise” she assured her, before he realised something different,
Obi Wan: “This isn’t the china we picked out” he stated as Sabe started to clean up one of the plates from the box,
Sabe: “I know. After you left the store, I chose different ones” she smiled
Obi Wan: looking curiously at her, “Why?”
Sabe: trying to think of how she could explain why she choose different plates, “Your taste is a little feminine for me” she confessed
Obi Wan: looking shocked: “Oh suddenly flowers are feminine?” he pointed out just as the front door opened and in strolled Eirtae, slipping off her bright, orange cloak and hanging it up,
Eirtae: “Hey, everybody! Happy Thanksgiving!” she announced as Sabe and Obi Wan returned her greetings while Palo, still worried about not attending the parade for work, quickly looked up,
Palo: “Happy Thanksgiving! Eirtae!” he exclaimed, waving her over as she looked at him blankly before moving over,
Eirtae: “What’s going on, Palo?” she asked
Palo: “Listen, I need a good lie” he quickly explained to her
Eirtae: “Okay. How about the whole man walking on the moon thing, you know? You can see the strings, people!” she informed him as Palo looked confused, then thought he’d better explain his situation to her,
Palo: No, no, no. I need a good lie to explain why I wasn’t at a work thing today” seeing Eirtae pulled back,
Eirtae: “Honey, you stink at lying” she confessed as Palo looked offended,
Palo: “I do not!” he objected so Eirtae decided to put him to the test,
Eirtae: “Really? Let me ask you something. Yesterday, at the diner, I went to the fresher. When I came back, my muffin was gone. Who took it?” she asked straight out as Palo started to stall,
Palo: “Somebody opened the door to the diner and a womp rat ran in and went straight for your muffin. I said: ‘Hey, don’t eat that! That’s Eirtae’s’ and he said….” He started, seeing Eirtae, rolling her eyes,
Palo: “He said, ‘Palo, you stink at lying’ What am I gonna do?” he finally confessed as Eirtae, understood that he needed serious help at lying better,
Eirtae: “Don’t worry. We’ll come up with something. I’ll help you” she assured him seeing Palo relax more,
Palo: “That’d be great. Thankyou” he replied,
Eirtae: “Sure. What was the work thing?” she asked, so she knew what lie she could help him create as Palo, suddenly forgot, remembering about his sleeve, so he pulled it up so she could read it,
Eirtae: leaning in to read it: “Pick up Grandma at the airport” she informed him
Palo: realising another thing he had forgotten to do, “Oh man!” he sighed
****************************************************
Over at Padme and Anakin’s, Padme was cuddling little Leia before she placed her back in her bassinet as Anakin sat nearby and Sola watched on, combing out her lovely, long, now straightened hair,
Sola: “She’s precious. Do you ever worry that she’s gonna get your real nose?” she asked, remembering the small, troubles Padme had with her nose when she was younger before she had it fixed,
Padme: clearly becoming more frustrated with her sister: “Sola” she gushed, before confessing, “Yes, I do, I really do” reaching out for Anakin’s hand and he took it in his grasp before becoming startled by Sola’s phone,
Sola: moving to answer he phone: “Hello? Yeah hang on, one sec. Can I take this upstairs?” she asked, thinking it was a much larger house as Anakin shrugged,
Anakin: “Sure, We don’t live there, but….” He informed her
Sola: “Seriously? It’s just these rooms?” she asked, “I thought you were a Jedi Master” she told him as Padme corrected her,
Padme: “Yeah, no, Anakin is a Jedi Knight” as Sola looked disgusted,
Sola: “Ewe!” she replied, moving off towards the bedrooms as Padme vented out her frustration as Anakin tried to point out little differences between knight and master,
Padme: “God, she is unbelievable!” sinking into the small, cushy lounge
Anakin: “I know, I meant a Jedi Knight is just as good as a Jedi master” as Padme simply laughed sarcastically,
Padme: “Sure, Anakin, yeah. If I was about to be killed by Sith Lord, I want there with your minor skills” she laughed as Anakin pulled a face before Sola stormed back in, knowing that her phone call did not go too well,
Sola: “Stupid Thanksgiving!” she exclaimed, throwing her phone back into her bag as Padme looked surprised at her reaction,
Padme: “What? What happened?”
Sola: “My boyfriend cancelled on me. I mean I finally find a real relationship, someone I can spend this day with and then his wife comes back into town!” she confessed before sinking into the lounge,
Sola: “I swear it’s not even worth dating married guys” she added, in tears about her ruined plans as Anakin smiled, although, she couldn’t see it
Anakin: “Don’t say that” he replied, knowing that he was just ending his married relationship when he started dating Padme,
Sola: “God, I was so looking forward to this. It was gonna be such a beautiful Thanksgiving. We were gonna have sushi!” she cried as Padme started to feel sympathy for her sister,
Padme: “Sola, don’t cry” she started, looking up to Anakin, “Can I talk to you in private?” she asked as Anakin joked,
Anakin: “Sure, you wanna go upstairs or…….?” He started, before Padme sent him a serious look, beckoning him into the kitchen, where she informed him of her surprise idea,
Padme: “Look, I was thinking, if it’s okay with Sabe, I would like to invite Sola to Thanksgiving” she smiled
Anakin: remaining serious, also stunned at her idea, “I think that’s a great idea. It’ll be like the Pilgrims bringing the Indians syphilis” he joked,
Padme: not amused by Anakin’s remark, “Look, I know, she’s a little tough to take, but she has nowhere else to go and she’s my sister. She’s Leia’s aunt and I would like them to bond” she informed him
Anakin: finally giving in, not before he voiced his concerns, “I don’t want them bonding too much. I don’t want her telling Leia she needs a nose job”
Padme: snapping back at Anakin, “Anakin, she may need one. We’re just gonna have to make our peace with that!” before they turn to re emerge back into the lounge room.
****************************************************
Having finally arrived at Sabe and Obi Wan’s for Thanksgiving, Padme, holding Leia’s carrier, opened the door, followed by her sister, who was happy to be with her sister and Anakin, who was carrying Leia’s baby items, Padme smiled at her friends,
Padme: “Hi!” she exclaimed, as Eirtae smiled back,
Eirtae: “Hey!” moving over to greet them,
Padme: “Hey, you guys. This is my sister Sola” she informed them, “This is Obi Wan, Palo, Eirtae and you know Sabe” as Sola smiled back,
Sabe: “Hi” seeing Sola’s eyes move over to Palo,
Sola: clearly not believing her eyes: “Oh my god, you’re on Galaxies Love” she pointed out as Palo smiled back, moving forward to shake hands,
Palo: “Yeah” he boasted proudly as Sola looked him over,
Sola: “Wow! They must out a lot of make up on you” she pointed out
Palo: suddenly becoming quiet, pulling back, he muttered, “Happy Thanksgiving” moving away as Anakin, moved towards Sabe, while he held Leia, as Sabe smiled in delight,
Sabe: “Hey” she spoke, looking at Leia, in his arms,
Anakin: “Hi” he smiled, giving her a little kiss on her cheek before moving off with Leia and Sabe and Eirtae, moved over to Sola,
Sabe: “So, welcome. Is this the first time you’re seeing Leia?” she asked
Sola: “Yeah, I think so. It’s nice to meet you, Leia” mistaking Eirtae for Leia as Eirtae, corrected her,
Eirtae: “Eirtae” as Sola smiled,
Sola: “That’s a funny noise” she smiled, heading towards the bathroom, while Sabe moved into the kitchen to check on the food and Eirtae moved back over to Palo, still needing more help with his lying.
Palo: “Eirtae, I still need some help here” he confessed, almost grinding his teeth together
Eirtae: “Right, okay” she replied, starting to instruct him on what to do and what not to do when lying,
Eirtae: “So it’s not just the lie you tell, but it’s the way you tell it. For example, if you look at the ground when you talk, people know you’re lying” she explained,
Palo: starting to realise, “I don’t know why this is so hard for me. Lying is basically just acting and I am a terrific actor” he informed her as Eirtae, looked down, avoiding his gaze,
Eirtae: “You are a terrific actor” before she moved off towards the lounge with Palo, just as Sola was coming out of the fresher, an idea just popped into her mind, and she decided to let Padme and Anakin know about it, spotting them emerging from the guest room, she started:
Sola: “Hey, where’s the baby?” she asked,
Padme: “We just put her down for a nap” she replied,
Sola: “Listen, I was just thinking. You know what would be incredible? If you guys died” she informed them, as Anakin, clearly unimpressed at what she had just told them, gave a slight smile,
Anakin: “Thankyou, Sola” he replied sarcastically, taking a seat on the small lounge, before Padme joined him, as Sola corrected her statement
Sola: “No, no, then I would get the baby. It would be just like a movie. At first, I wouldn’t know what to do with her. And then I would rise to the occasion, then I’d get a makeover and get married” as Eirtae sounded amused,
Eirtae: “That sounds like a great movie!” clapping excitedly,
Sola: “Yeah, listen, not that you guys could stop me or anything because you know, you’d be dead but I was thinking about changing her name. I’m just not really a big fan of Lara” she informed them
Anakin: not any happier at where this was going, “Leia” he simply replied
Sola: turning back to Eirtae, still thinking she was Leia, “Leia, Anakin wants you” she told her
Eirtae: also frustrated at having to keep correcting her, “Eirtae!” she exclaimed,
Sola: turning back to Anakin and Padme, almost whispering, “Why does she keep making that noise?” she asked
Now, wondering in interest, what was going on with Sola, Padme and Anakin, Obi Wan and Sabe moved away from the kitchen and into the living room, behind Palo and Eirtae as Padme answered Sola’s earlier question,
Padme: “Honey, I don’t know how to tell you this….but if something were to happen to Anakin or myself” she started, before Anakin and herself knocked on the glass table in front of them, “You wouldn’t get the baby” she confessed as Sola looked shocked,
Sola: Well, who would?” she asked, in disbelief
Anakin: taking a deep breath before replying: “Well, we haven’t officially asked them yet…..but we would want Sabe and Obi Wan” looking over at his sister and his friend who were clearly touched,
Obi Wan: “I can’t believe you would want us to raise Leia” he gushed
Sabe: “Oh my god, I’m so moved” almost wanting to cry while Sola still could not believe what she was hearing,
Sola: I don’t believe this. Hold on a second. You guys die and I don’t get your baby?” she asked
Padme: “Sola see we’re a lot closer to Sabe and Obi Wan. We see them everyday and truthfully, you don’t seem connected to the baby” she informed her as Sola stared back in disbelief,
Sola: “Connected? To what? She’s a lump” she pointed out as Obi Wan and Sabe started to move towards the three,
Obi Wan: “You know guys, I’ve gotta say this means so much to me. I mean, that you would trust me with your child. I mean we all know that Sabe and I have been trying to have a baby of our own. You know, I’ve had my doubts about my skills as a father but, that you two….” Trying his hardest not to cry, “That you two…”
Sola: still in shock, angrily asked, “This guy? Seriously?” she asked
****************************************************
It was time for the beautifully array of foods to be served, that Sabe had spent most of the morning making, of course, she had to remind everywhere about the china.
Sabe: “Okay, it’s time for dinner. Everyone, we’re using our fancy china and it’s very expensive. So please, please be careful” she told them
Anakin, being who he is, wanted to be cheeky, and picked up his plate, started to pretend to wobble on each side, “Whoa, whoa” he started, before it really nearly did slip from his grasp, “Whoa”
Sabe: clearly unimpressed at her brother’s antics, pointed out, “Just to be clear, comedy with the plates will not be well received” giving Anakin a slight, pinch on his arm, as he yelped as everyone moved into their seats where Palo discovered his’s plate was not an expensive one,
Palo: “Hey! How come my plate’s less fancy than everyone else’s? Do you not trust me with a fancy plate?” he asked as Sabe waved that off,
Sabe: “No, honey, that’s a special plate. See it’s a game. Whoever gets that plate wins” she replied as Palo suddenly seemed pleased with himself,
Palo: making a comment to Eirtae: “Can’t believe I won” he told her as she smiled, while Sola, couldn’t just let her previous conversation with Padme go away,
Sola: “You know this is such a slap in the face. I mean I’m your sister and you would give your baby to these strangers over me” she spoke out as Padme tried to remind her,
Padme: “Sabe is Anakin’s sister” as Sola turned to see Sabe, who was sitting next to her, give a small smile as Sola became confused,
Sola: “No, Anakin’s sister was really fat” she replied,
Sabe: “That was me” trying to keep smiling but Sola was no convinced,
Sola: No, she was this dorky girl in high school who followed Padme around like a puppy….” She was cut off by Padme’s frustration once more,
Padme: “Sola, you’ve got to stop doing that!” she exclaimed
Sola, became annoyed at what was happening, that she grabbed her cutlery, starting to scratch across her plate, which was starting to shock Sabe,
Sabe: trying to stop her, “Okay, listen, I know you’re having a bit of a family crisis but you don’t have to take it out on the plates. I mean, in fact, I think that everyone….should cut their food like this” she informed everyone, grabbing a medium piece of meat, cutting it over the plate,
Sabe: “Now see? This way, you protect the plates and let’s face it, you have fun” she finished as everyone just looked on, while Obi Wan felt too embarrassed while Sola is still determined to get Leia.
Sola: “Okay, how about this? If you guys die… and the crazy plate lady dies…then do I get the baby?” she asked however, Obi Wan had to point out to Anakin and Padme what would happen next,
Obi Wan: “No, if crazy plate lady…..” he started before seeing Sabe, rolls her eyes at the crazy name because of her actions,
Obi Wan: “If Sabe dies, then I would get the Leia, right?” he asked,
Padme and Anakin exchanged looks between each other, not knowing how they would react to his comment,
Padme: “Well, actually….” She started
Obi Wan: “Actually what?” Obi Wan shot back as Anakin took over,
Anakin: “It’s just……it’s just that in that case….then Leia would go to my parents” he informed him,
Obi Wan: too shocked at this new development: “What?” he asked as Sola pointed out,
Sola: “Hurts, doesn’t it?” she hinted
Obi Wan nodded in agreement as Palo voiced his question,
Palo: “Who has to die for me to get her?” he asked as everyone all turned to stare at him
Sabe: standing up on one of her kitchen chairs, reaching for the dinner plates, she calls over to Obi Wan, sitting in the living room,
Sabe: “Hey, hon? Would you help me get the plates down?”
Obi Wan: jumping to his feet and moving over to where Sabe stood, “Hey, here’s an idea. Why don’t we use our wedding china today?”
Sabe: “No, I think we should save our china for something really special” she smiled, taking out some more plates, “Like, if the Chancellor of the Republic comes over” she points out as Obi Wan just sighs,
Obi Wan: “Honey, he keeps cancelling on us, take the hint” he reminded her as Sabe steps off the chair, moving over to where he stood,
Sabe: “What, if something breaks? They’re expensive” she reminded him as Obi Wan fought back,
Obi Wan: “What is the point of having if we never use them?”
Sabe: Finally, seeing Obi Wan’s point, “Okay, but if something breaks and the Chancellor comes over…” she started
Obi Wan: “I will explain it to him” he assured her, while Sabe just laughed,
Sabe: “Like I’d let you talk to the Chancellor” she informed him as Obi Wan turned back over to see Palo, watching keenly at the parade,
Palo: “Wow, the parade is really good this year” he yelled back to his friends, before adding, “Man, those horses can c***” with a slight smirk to himself
Announcer on Television: “Next up is a marching band from, Alderaan”
Obi Wan: “Alderaan? That’s like four hours from Coreilla!” he points out, letting out a little cheer to the television as the announcer continues:
Announcer on Television: “Here’s the float with the stars of the popular daytime soap, ‘Galaxies Love”
Palo, still watching with interest, suddenly realised where he was suppose to be, and his eyes nearly fell from his sockets, jumping to his feet, “Oh my god!” he exclaimed
Obi Wan: slowly turned around, still shocked as Palo, “Aren’t you one of the stars of the popular daytime soap, ‘Galaxies Love?” he asked, obviously stating the obvious.
Palo: “I forgot! I’m supposed to be there! I can’t believe I forgot! I usually write stuff like this down on my arm” he replied as Obi Wan simply grabbed his right arm, and pushed back his sleeve where Palo saw his reminder,
Palo: angrily pulling his sleeve back down: “Stupid long sleeves!” he yelled as Obi Wan sighed,
Obi Wan: “What are you gonna do?” he asked him as Palo simply shrugged,
Palo: “I’ll come up with a good reason why I wasn’t there. The producers are gonna be so mad. They sat us all down yesterday and said, “Everybody has to be there, 6am sharp. That means you, Darklighter” he informed him, shocked,
Palo: “Like I was some kind of idiot” he finished
Obi Wan: his arms folded in front of him only pointed out, “Well, you proved them wrong”
Palo: “Yeah” he agreed, his eyes transfixed on the television.

Palo: “He said, ‘Palo, you stink at lying’ What am I gonna do?” he finally confessed as Eirtae, understood that he needed serious help at lying better,
Eirtae: “Don’t worry. We’ll come up with something. I’ll help you” she assured him seeing Palo relax more,
Palo: “That’d be great. Thankyou” he replied,
Eirtae: “Sure. What was the work thing?” she asked, so she knew what lie she could help him create as Palo, suddenly forgot, remembering about his sleeve, so he pulled it up so she could read it,
Eirtae: leaning in to read it: “Pick up Grandma at the airport” she informed him
Palo: realising another thing he had forgotten to do, “Oh man!” he sighed

Over at Padme and Anakin’s, Padme was cuddling little Leia before she placed her back in her bassinet as Anakin sat nearby and Sola watched on, combing out her lovely, long, now straightened hair,
Sola: “She’s precious. Do you ever worry that she’s gonna get your real nose?” she asked, remembering the small, troubles Padme had with her nose when she was younger before she had it fixed,
Padme: clearly becoming more frustrated with her sister: “Sola” she gushed, before confessing, “Yes, I do, I really do” reaching out for Anakin’s hand and he took it in his grasp before becoming startled by Sola’s phone,
Sola: moving to answer he phone: “Hello? Yeah hang on, one sec. Can I take this upstairs?” she asked, thinking it was a much larger house as Anakin shrugged,
Anakin: “Sure, We don’t live there, but….” He informed her
Sola: “Seriously? It’s just these rooms?” she asked, “I thought you were a Jedi Master” she told him as Padme corrected her,
Padme: “Yeah, no, Anakin is a Jedi Knight” as Sola looked disgusted,
Sola: “Ewe!” she replied, moving off towards the bedrooms as Padme vented out her frustration as Anakin tried to point out little differences between knight and master,
Padme: “God, she is unbelievable!” sinking into the small, cushy lounge
Anakin: “I know, I meant a Jedi Knight is just as good as a Jedi master” as Padme simply laughed sarcastically,
Padme: “Sure, Anakin, yeah. If I was about to be killed by Sith Lord, I want there with your minor skills” she laughed as Anakin pulled a face before Sola stormed back in, knowing that her phone call did not go too well,
Sola: “Stupid Thanksgiving!” she exclaimed, throwing her phone back into her bag as Padme looked surprised at her reaction,
Padme: “What? What happened?”
Sola: “My boyfriend cancelled on me. I mean I finally find a real relationship, someone I can spend this day with and then his wife comes back into town!” she confessed before sinking into the lounge,
Sola: “I swear it’s not even worth dating married guys” she added, in tears about her ruined plans as Anakin smiled, although, she couldn’t see it
Anakin: “Don’t say that” he replied, knowing that he was just ending his married relationship when he started dating Padme,
Sola: “God, I was so looking forward to this. It was gonna be such a beautiful Thanksgiving. We were gonna have sushi!” she cried as Padme started to feel sympathy for her sister,
Padme: “Sola, don’t cry” she started, looking up to Anakin, “Can I talk to you in private?” she asked as Anakin joked,
Anakin: “Sure, you wanna go upstairs or…….?” He started, before Padme sent him a serious look, beckoning him into the kitchen, where she informed him of her surprise idea,
Padme: “Look, I was thinking, if it’s okay with Sabe, I would like to invite Sola to Thanksgiving” she smiled
Anakin: remaining serious, also stunned at her idea, “I think that’s a great idea. It’ll be like the Pilgrims bringing the Indians syphilis” he joked,
Padme: not amused by Anakin’s remark, “Look, I know, she’s a little tough to take, but she has nowhere else to go and she’s my sister. She’s Leia’s aunt and I would like them to bond” she informed him
Anakin: finally giving in, not before he voiced his concerns, “I don’t want them bonding too much. I don’t want her telling Leia she needs a nose job”
Padme: snapping back at Anakin, “Anakin, she may need one. We’re just gonna have to make our peace with that!” before they turn to re emerge back into the lounge room.
****************************************************
Having finally arrived at Sabe and Obi Wan’s for Thanksgiving, Padme, holding Leia’s carrier, opened the door, followed by her sister, who was happy to be with her sister and Anakin, who was carrying Leia’s baby items, Padme smiled at her friends,
Padme: “Hi!” she exclaimed, as Eirtae smiled back,
Eirtae: “Hey!” moving over to greet them,
Padme: “Hey, you guys. This is my sister Sola” she informed them, “This is Obi Wan, Palo, Eirtae and you know Sabe” as Sola smiled back,
Sabe: “Hi” seeing Sola’s eyes move over to Palo,
Sola: clearly not believing her eyes: “Oh my god, you’re on Galaxies Love” she pointed out as Palo smiled back, moving forward to shake hands,
Palo: “Yeah” he boasted proudly as Sola looked him over,
Sola: “Wow! They must out a lot of make up on you” she pointed out
Palo: suddenly becoming quiet, pulling back, he muttered, “Happy Thanksgiving” moving away as Anakin, moved towards Sabe, while he held Leia, as Sabe smiled in delight,
Sabe: “Hey” she spoke, looking at Leia, in his arms,
Anakin: “Hi” he smiled, giving her a little kiss on her cheek before moving off with Leia and Sabe and Eirtae, moved over to Sola,
Sabe: “So, welcome. Is this the first time you’re seeing Leia?” she asked
Sola: “Yeah, I think so. It’s nice to meet you, Leia” mistaking Eirtae for Leia as Eirtae, corrected her,
Eirtae: “Eirtae” as Sola smiled,
Sola: “That’s a funny noise” she smiled, heading towards the bathroom, while Sabe moved into the kitchen to check on the food and Eirtae moved back over to Palo, still needing more help with his lying.
Palo: “Eirtae, I still need some help here” he confessed, almost grinding his teeth together
Eirtae: “Right, okay” she replied, starting to instruct him on what to do and what not to do when lying,
Eirtae: “So it’s not just the lie you tell, but it’s the way you tell it. For example, if you look at the ground when you talk, people know you’re lying” she explained,
Palo: starting to realise, “I don’t know why this is so hard for me. Lying is basically just acting and I am a terrific actor” he informed her as Eirtae, looked down, avoiding his gaze,
Eirtae: “You are a terrific actor” before she moved off towards the lounge with Palo, just as Sola was coming out of the fresher, an idea just popped into her mind, and she decided to let Padme and Anakin know about it, spotting them emerging from the guest room, she started:
Sola: “Hey, where’s the baby?” she asked,
Padme: “We just put her down for a nap” she replied,
Sola: “Listen, I was just thinking. You know what would be incredible? If you guys died” she informed them, as Anakin, clearly unimpressed at what she had just told them, gave a slight smile,
Anakin: “Thankyou, Sola” he replied sarcastically, taking a seat on the small lounge, before Padme joined him, as Sola corrected her statement
Sola: “No, no, then I would get the baby. It would be just like a movie. At first, I wouldn’t know what to do with her. And then I would rise to the occasion, then I’d get a makeover and get married” as Eirtae sounded amused,
Eirtae: “That sounds like a great movie!” clapping excitedly,
Sola: “Yeah, listen, not that you guys could stop me or anything because you know, you’d be dead but I was thinking about changing her name. I’m just not really a big fan of Lara” she informed them
Anakin: not any happier at where this was going, “Leia” he simply replied
Sola: turning back to Eirtae, still thinking she was Leia, “Leia, Anakin wants you” she told her
Eirtae: also frustrated at having to keep correcting her, “Eirtae!” she exclaimed,
Sola: turning back to Anakin and Padme, almost whispering, “Why does she keep making that noise?” she asked
Now, wondering in interest, what was going on with Sola, Padme and Anakin, Obi Wan and Sabe moved away from the kitchen and into the living room, behind Palo and Eirtae as Padme answered Sola’s earlier question,
Padme: “Honey, I don’t know how to tell you this….but if something were to happen to Anakin or myself” she started, before Anakin and herself knocked on the glass table in front of them, “You wouldn’t get the baby” she confessed as Sola looked shocked,
Sola: Well, who would?” she asked, in disbelief
Anakin: taking a deep breath before replying: “Well, we haven’t officially asked them yet…..but we would want Sabe and Obi Wan” looking over at his sister and his friend who were clearly touched,
Obi Wan: “I can’t believe you would want us to raise Leia” he gushed
Sabe: “Oh my god, I’m so moved” almost wanting to cry while Sola still could not believe what she was hearing,
Sola: I don’t believe this. Hold on a second. You guys die and I don’t get your baby?” she asked
Padme: “Sola see we’re a lot closer to Sabe and Obi Wan. We see them everyday and truthfully, you don’t seem connected to the baby” she informed her as Sola stared back in disbelief,
Sola: “Connected? To what? She’s a lump” she pointed out as Obi Wan and Sabe started to move towards the three,
Obi Wan: “You know guys, I’ve gotta say this means so much to me. I mean, that you would trust me with your child. I mean we all know that Sabe and I have been trying to have a baby of our own. You know, I’ve had my doubts about my skills as a father but, that you two….” Trying his hardest not to cry, “That you two…”
Sola: still in shock, angrily asked, “This guy? Seriously?” she asked
****************************************************
It was time for the beautifully array of foods to be served, that Sabe had spent most of the morning making, of course, she had to remind everywhere about the china.
Sabe: “Okay, it’s time for dinner. Everyone, we’re using our fancy china and it’s very expensive. So please, please be careful” she told them
Anakin, being who he is, wanted to be cheeky, and picked up his plate, started to pretend to wobble on each side, “Whoa, whoa” he started, before it really nearly did slip from his grasp, “Whoa”
Sabe: clearly unimpressed at her brother’s antics, pointed out, “Just to be clear, comedy with the plates will not be well received” giving Anakin a slight, pinch on his arm, as he yelped as everyone moved into their seats where Palo discovered his’s plate was not an expensive one,
Palo: “Hey! How come my plate’s less fancy than everyone else’s? Do you not trust me with a fancy plate?” he asked as Sabe waved that off,
Sabe: “No, honey, that’s a special plate. See it’s a game. Whoever gets that plate wins” she replied as Palo suddenly seemed pleased with himself,
Palo: making a comment to Eirtae: “Can’t believe I won” he told her as she smiled, while Sola, couldn’t just let her previous conversation with Padme go away,
Sola: “You know this is such a slap in the face. I mean I’m your sister and you would give your baby to these strangers over me” she spoke out as Padme tried to remind her,
Padme: “Sabe is Anakin’s sister” as Sola turned to see Sabe, who was sitting next to her, give a small smile as Sola became confused,
Sola: “No, Anakin’s sister was really fat” she replied,
Sabe: “That was me” trying to keep smiling but Sola was no convinced,
Sola: No, she was this dorky girl in high school who followed Padme around like a puppy….” She was cut off by Padme’s frustration once more,
Padme: “Sola, you’ve got to stop doing that!” she exclaimed
Sola, became annoyed at what was happening, that she grabbed her cutlery, starting to scratch across her plate, which was starting to shock Sabe,
Sabe: trying to stop her, “Okay, listen, I know you’re having a bit of a family crisis but you don’t have to take it out on the plates. I mean, in fact, I think that everyone….should cut their food like this” she informed everyone, grabbing a medium piece of meat, cutting it over the plate,
Sabe: “Now see? This way, you protect the plates and let’s face it, you have fun” she finished as everyone just looked on, while Obi Wan felt too embarrassed while Sola is still determined to get Leia.
Sola: “Okay, how about this? If you guys die… and the crazy plate lady dies…then do I get the baby?” she asked however, Obi Wan had to point out to Anakin and Padme what would happen next,
Obi Wan: “No, if crazy plate lady…..” he started before seeing Sabe, rolls her eyes at the crazy name because of her actions,
Obi Wan: “If Sabe dies, then I would get the Leia, right?” he asked,
Padme and Anakin exchanged looks between each other, not knowing how they would react to his comment,
Padme: “Well, actually….” She started
Obi Wan: “Actually what?” Obi Wan shot back as Anakin took over,
Anakin: “It’s just……it’s just that in that case….then Leia would go to my parents” he informed him,
Obi Wan: too shocked at this new development: “What?” he asked as Sola pointed out,
Sola: “Hurts, doesn’t it?” she hinted
Obi Wan nodded in agreement as Palo voiced his question,
Palo: “Who has to die for me to get her?” he asked as everyone all turned to stare at him
