Sam went to a restaurant for some alone time.
A man looked at her and said "You are miss Sam Pan?"
"Uh... yeah. I'm Mrs Sam Pan-Cook now" said Sam.
"Indeed. One of the Pan twins finally got married" said the man.
"Yeah. Hey, aren't you James Earl Jones?" said Sam.
"Indeed I am" said Jones.
"Fancy meeting you here then" said Sam.
"Of course." said Jones.
"But how do you know my name?" said Sam.
"It isn't just your name, dear. When I saw you, I recognized you straight away" said Jones.
Sam looked at her green dress and rolled her eyes.
"Not by your attire. By your eyes. They're your mother's" said Jones.
"You..." Sam began.
"Oh, yes. I knew her. Your mother was there for me in times no one else was. I was peeved when she was not there for her own children" said Jones.
"Was she glad to have replaced us?" said Sam.
"She was not. But she was still happy with your replacements. And your father, on the other hand, was a warrior just like you" said Jones.
"Is that right" said Sam.
"Yes. He had a very unique talent. A talent, rumor has it, he passed on to you and your brother" said Jones.
"Gawrsh..." Sam whispered.
"Yes. You are more like your parents than you know, Sam. And now that you are married, you are even more extraordinary" said Jones.
"Thank you" said Sam.
"Your brother is no different" said Jones.
"No he's not" Sam agreed.
