============================================================

{Chapter Note: Some of the characters will be speaking in different languages, like Huttese and such. You'll see the full translations at the end of each character's line, but it'll be certain characters because I don't know all of the translations.}

{Also, since I'm using the Star Wars Huttese Translator and Huttese For Dummies websites for the Huttese translations, some of it may not be perfect in this chapter. So I apologize in advance if some of the translations are not exact}

============================================================

After the race was over, the hangar of the arena was almost deserted as the racers departed. With the exception of Anakin, Padmé, Shmi, Jar Jar, Artoo, Threepio, and Bee Dee. They were waiting for Anna to return after she got done talking to the Boonta Eve Race officials.

Jar Jar picked up Anakin in his arms and gave him a great big hug.

Jar Jar: "Bombad job, Ani!" (Gungan translation: Great job, Ani!)

Jar Jar puts Anakin back on the ground as Padmé walks over and hugs him as well.

Padmé: "We own you and your sister everything, Ani."

Shmi crouched down and kissed Anakin's cheek.

Anakin: "Aww." (He moaned, embarrassed)

Shmi: "It's so wonderful, Ani. You have brought hope to those who have none." (She boasted happily) "I'm so very proud of you." (She continued as she stroked his hair)

Shmi kissed Anakin's cheek again just as Anna walked up to the group with Flora. Both of them were carrying a silver trophy. The was silver with checkered flags around the top and the base. In the center of the trophy was the of the Boonta Eve Classic race. At the base of it was a plague that read, "32 BBY, BOONTA EVE PODRACE CHAMPIONS. ANAKIN & ANNKIA SKYWALKER."

Anna: "Hey Ani! Check out what the promoters gave us!" (She called)

Anakin: "Whoa!" (He exclaimed) "That trophy is incredible!!"

Flora: "Yeah, you two deserve it." (She complimented) "Amazing racing out there."

Anna: "Thanks. But Ani deserves most of the credit. He did the steering."

Anakin: "Yeah, but if it wasn't for your quick thinking and help guiding me, I wouldn't have won the race."

Anna: (Chuckles sheepishly) "I guess, you have a point."

Shmi: "It's because of both of your efforts that were made successfully today." (She pulls both of her kids into a hug) I am so proud of you!"

Anna: "Thanks, Mom." (She replied. Then, Anna remembered something and broke loose from the hug) "Oh hey, Ani. I wanted to tell you before I forgot. Some of the spectors approached me and offered to buy the pod. I said that I wouldn't let them lay a finger on it without talking to the driver first."

Anakin: "Alright then. I'll talk with them." (Starts walking towards the entrance of the hanger) "Come on, let's go!"

Anna: "Wait for me!" (She shouted, running after her brother)

Shmi smiled cheekily. She could hardly contain her excitement of her children winning the race. Then, she noticed something, Qui-Gon was nowhere to be seen. Shmi turned to Flora.
