The Clone Wars: Beginning (Season 1)

Chapter One: Skywalker Younglings

(Ileema Kenobi's POV)

Two days ago, my brother's former padawan commed the Jedi Temple. He told us that he felt at least one very bright Force presence on the planet nearest to him. And that planet, was his former home. The Outer Rim planet, by the name of Tatooine. A planet covered in sand, controlled by the Hutt crime lord, Jabba the Hutt.

Plo-Koon has decided to come with me to meet Anakin since he is one of the most popular masters among the younglings. He also doesn't look very threatening. Anakin will be landing in the 501st hangar, and we have both volunteered to meet him. And I decided to bring along my clone commander, Logan. Since we aren't sure of how many children he has with him.

A shuttle lands in front of us, and the ramp comes down. Anakin and his clone captain, Rex, I believe is his name, walk out. Both of them are holding the hand of a toddler, and both of the children seem to be strong in the Force. Anakin and Rex walk toward us, Anakin with a smile, and since Rex has his helmet removed, I can see him very nearly scowling. It seems Rex has spent too much time with my brother's clone commander, Cody.

When the two get close to us, I say, "Anakin, Rex, would one of you please explain."

"I told you when I commed the Council."

"No, you gave us a guess as to what was happening. What I want is a full explanation, with all of the details you can remember. Do not leave a single thing out."

Anakin sighs, and Rex smirks. I suppose he told Anakin that this would happen.

"Like I told the Council, we were near Tatooine when I sensed a strong Force presence. Since the Council gave me permission-"

"You would have done it anyway," I point out.

"That's beside the point. But since the Council gave me permission to investigate, I did. I tracked the presence to a moisture farm in the middle of the desert. The farm belonged to my step-brother, Owen, and his wife, Beru. They told me about how the twins had started to levitate things when they were about six months old. And my mother told me that I did the same thing. So I told them that even though the twins weren't on the Jedi's radar, I could still bring them to the Temple. Owen and Beru agreed, and I brought them back to the Resolute. Then brought them here. Both of them are almost three years old now. Owen and Beru also have another kid, a son. His name is Chase Skywalker, he's only about a year old though, so I just brought the two of them."

Anakin then gives the boy's hand to Rex, and turns around to go back inside the shuttle. The little boy seems glad to be closer to Rex, I wonder why?

Plo nods, then asks, "What are their names?"

"Luke and Leeda Skywalker. General Skywalker's mother has been like a mother to both Mr. and Mrs. Lars, so the two of them said that they wanted to honor her by having their ade (ade - kids) have her last name. At least that's what they told us."

Plo, Logan, and I nod. Then I crouch down in front of the two little children that are standing beside Rex. The little girl's hair is very dark, and it looks like her mother did it in a braid just before the two twins left. The darkness of her hair goes very well with her tan skin and dark blue eyes. She's adorable right now, and will most likely be absolutely beautiful when she's grown.

Luke though, has dirty blonde hair instead of dark brown. But he does have tan skin that matches his sister's along with blue eyes the same shade as Leeda's. He's adorable too, and seems to be the one who is more shy since he's nearly hiding behind Rex, while Leeda is standing beside him.
