The beach day

It was a beautiful day in Naboo. A salty breeze drifting carelessly through the blue sky stretching endlessly through the day. A handful of clouds danced in the sky, all puffy and airy. The Skywalker family with their Aunt 'Soka had arrived at the Skipping Stone waters, as Luke and Leia liked to call it. It was a beautiful beach stretching around the city of Theed. Waters as shiny as crystals, sand smooth and soft. It was paradise.

The family took several bags packed with snacks, toys, clothes, sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, towels, and more out of their speeder. Anakin looked down at the beach, realizing that there was sand everywhere.

"Padme-" He said in protest. Anakin had a deep hatred of sand, after growing up on the rough deserts of Tatooine as a slave.

"Ani, you'll be fine. If you must, then just sit on the blanket and watch the twins play, Ok?"

"Come on, Skyguy, if you could defeat two sith lords then you will be fine." Ahsoka chimed in.

"Fine." Anakin said with a bit of a sigh.

"Uppie! Uppie!" Leia shouted with a smile across her chubby little face. Leia was certainly starting to look like Padme, clothing style as well. The 3 year old was dressed in a Honey Yellow swimsuit with little white dots all across. It had bows on the straps and a small skirt.

Anakin picked Leia up, placing her gently above his shoulder. Leia took it into her authority to mess up her fathers sandy blonde locks. Luke looked up at his sister, then frowned.

"I think he wants to go up as well." Padme said, lifting up her little son. Luke was taken into Anakin's free arm.

"Walk Walk! Water walk!" Luke shouted and Leia giggled a bit. Anakin sighed, none too glad to be having to get wet. He knew if he did then he'd have sand stuck to him. The thought made him cringe. Still, he'd do absolutely anything for his children, so he plunged his two feet into the water, swish swashing as he walked. The sand was bumpy as the current had left numerous wave markings, making it a bit difficult to walk. Still, it was a thrilling sensation for the twins. The General made hi"s way around the waves just in a small circle, before putting Luke and Leia down to see if they wanted to go wading.

"Aren't you two forgetting something?" Ahsoka asked, taking them out of the water.

"What?" Anakin asked. He thought they wanted to go in the water. Ahsoka rolled her eyes at her former master.

"Life jackets! Hell-oo! Can you find where Padme put them? I need to re-apply their sunscreen." Ahsoka dabbed some sunscreen on Luke's little nose, Leia giggled at that.

"Yeah, sure." Anakin said. He chuckled a bit, "some things never changed." He thought and chuckled a bit.

Ahsoka looked down at her maroon sundress. "I'm gonna go for a swim, so be right back" She gestured towards the changing room. Padme walked back towards Anakin, with a small cooler in hand.

"Ani, eat something." Padme said, handing him a sandwich.

"I'm not hungry," Padme gave him a hesitant look "besides, I've gone days without eating." Padme scolded him.

"Ok well atleast have a Meiloorun." The young senator said, grabbing some fruit out of the cooler.

"Thanks sweetheart." The Jedi Master said.

Anakin sat down on the orange lounge chair to feast on the delicious fruit.

Ahsoka walked up to Padme, who was enjoying the sight of her husband playing with their two children.

"How do I look?" Ahsoka asked as she spun around in a small circle. The togruta was wearing a two-piece maroon swimsuit. It had an open back, with criss-crosses covering it, and high waisted bottoms. Ahsoka had recently gotten it on a shopping trip with Padme, at The Galactic Mall on Coruscant, an often trip that Anakin rather dreaded.

"Oh! You look gorgeous Ahsoka!" Padme said smiling.

"Thanks!" Ahsoka said. She made her way towards the water. She picked up a tiny little Luke who was bobbing up and down in the soft current and kissed one of his chubby little cheeks.

"You wanna make a sand-castle?" The young Jedi Knight asked, with her left hand messing up Lukes sandy and wet hair.

"Yea! Swand castle, swand castle!" Luke cheered in agreement.

"Princess, you wanna make a sand castle with us?" Ahsoka said, looking at Leia, who was on her fathers shoulders letting her hands bump with every step her father took.

"Nah, I wanna swim with dad-ee" She said with a small shake in her head, making her little brown ringlets shake.

"Alright, c'mon Luke" Ahsoka gestured to a patch of wet sand with some purple green and orange buckets, shovels and toys scattered around in a small pile.

The family spent the day filled with ice-cream in hair, sand castles, stargazing and lots of laughs and memories to take home to their home in Theed.
