A little bit after dinner Qui-Gon, Padmé, Jar Jar, and Luna went to Watto's shop telling him about the Podrace. Though Anakin was already there possibly already told him about it.

"Are you sure about this? Padmé questioned. "Trusting our fate to a boy we hardly know? The queen will not approve."

Luna crossed her arms when Padmé talked about her little brother like that.

"The queen doesn't need to know." Qui-Gon said.

"Well, I don't approve." Padmé said sitting down on the bench next to Jar Jar.

"The boy tells me you want to sponsor him in the race." Watto said  as Luna and Qui-Gon entered the store. "How can you fo this? Not on the Republic credits, I think, huh?"

"My ship will the entry fee."" Qui-Gon said as he pulled out a comlink showing his ship.

"Oh, not bad! Not bad, huh? A Nubian, huh?"

"It's in good order, except for the parts I need." Qui-Gon stated then turning off the comlink putting it back in his pocket.

"What would the boy ride? He smashed up my pod in the last race. It will take long time to fix."

"It wasn't my fault, really. Shebulba flashed me with his vents. I actually saved the pod, mostly.." Anakin said.

"Mmm. That you did." Watto said agreeing with Anakin. "The boy's good. No doubts there, huh?"

"I have acquired a pod in a game of chance, the fastest ever built." Qui-Gon stated.

"I hope you didn't kill anyone I know for it, huh?" Watto stated. "So, you supply the pod and the entry fee, and I supply the boy. We split the winnings, um, 50-59, I think, huh?"

"If it's going to be 50-50, I suggest you front the cash for the entry. If we win, you keep all the winnings, minus the cost if the parts I need. And if we lose, you keep my ship. Either way, you win."

"Deal!" Watto said agreeing with Qui-Gon then giving him a high five. "Your friend is a foolish one, methinks." Watto said in Huttese.

The moment we got home Anakin immediately started to work on his speeder. Luna and Jar Jar help Ani as he worked up front.

"Hey, Ani." All of his friend said as they ran over to him.

"Hi." Anakin replied.

"Wow  a real astro droid." One of them said pointing at R2.

"How did you get so lucky?" The youngest girl questioned Anakin.

"That isn't even thr half of it. I'm in the Boonta race tomorrow." Anakin said.

"What? With this?"

"You're such a joker, Ani." The alien laughed.

"You've been working that for years." The oldest girl said.

"It's never gonna run." The youngest stated

"Come on. Let's go and play ball." The boy that has red hair states. "Keep racing, Ani. You're gonna be bug squash." The kid continued as he ran off with the others.

"You'll win this time, Ani." Luna said putting her right arm around Anakin's shoulders.

"Thanks sis." Anakin said smiling at her.

"Of course."

"Hey, Jar Jar. Keep away from those energy binders. If your hand gets caught in the beam, it's gonna go numb for hours."

"You don't even know if this thing's gonna run." Anakin's friend said.

"It will."

"I think it's time we found that out." Qui-Gon said as he walked up to us. "Here, use this power charger." He said giving Anakin thr charger.

"Yes, sir!"

"Come on, you two. Let's move away."  Qui-Gon said grabbing out hands moving us away.

"It's working! It's working!" Anakin said excitedly when his Podrace started up.

It was the middle of the night almost Luna and Anakin's bedtime. Qui-Gon, Anakin,  and Luna were sitting on the porch railing.

"Stay still, Ani. Let me clean this cut." Qui-Gon said trying to clean the cut Anakin got on his arm from who knows what.

"There's so many. Do they all have a system of planets?" Anakin questioned.

"Most of them."

"Has anyone been to 'em all?"

"Not, likely." Qui-Gon chuckled.

"I wanna be the first one to see 'em all."

"I can't wait till the day were not slaves anymore, and adventure them." Luna said looking up at the stars.

"Ani, Una, bedtime!" Their mother called from inside the house.

"Ow!" Anakin yelped.

"There we are. Good as new." Qui-Gon said rubbing Ani's arm.

"Kids, I'm not gonna tell you again." Their mother said walking pasted the door.

"What are you doing?" Ani questioned Qui-Gon.

"Checking your blood for infections. Go on. You have a big day tomorrow." Qui-Gon said then patting Anakin's back. "Sleep well, Ani, and Una."

Anakin and Luna went into the house and headed for our bedroom.
Anakin went into the room first and got changed.
After a gew moments of waiting Anakin came back out in a matching light brown pj pants and shirt an light grey socks.

Then Luna headed in closing the door, she went over to her side of the room, she opened the dresser getting out a matching grey almost black pj shirt and pants with no socks.
She opened the door then Anakin walked back into the room. The both of them hopped in their own beds an got comfy.
Their mother walked into their room an tucked Anakin then Luna into bed.

"Good night, Ani." Their mother said kissing him on the forehead.

"Good night, mom."

"Goodnight, Una." Their mother said then kissed Luna goodnight.

"Night, mom." Luna said then turning on her side getting comfy as their mother left the room.
