The next morning out the front of the Skywalker hutt, Qui-Gon and Shmi watch the children working on the pod.. "Hey Ani." Kister said running over to him with the others.. All the kids gather around the pod.. R2 is beeping away.. "Wow, a real astro droid." Kister said.. "Aint he the coolest?" Cade said.. "Yeah, how did you get so lucky?" Kister asked.. "That isn't the half of it. I'm in the Boonta Race tomorrow." Anakin said.. "What? With this?" Kister asked.. "You're such a joker Ani." Wald said.. "You've been working on this for years.. It's never gonna run." Seek said.. "Yes it will." Cade said, looking their way.. "Come on, let's play ball.." Amee said.. "Yeah keep racing Anakin and you are going to be squished, like a bug." Melee said with a giggle as she ran off.. "No he isn't." Cade yelled at them. "Hey Ashlyn, want to come and play?" Melee asked her.. "Would you like to go and play with the others?" Ashlyn asked the young ones.. Jade looked over at them, they had a bat and ball.. "Okeyday." Jade said smiling.. "Supernova." Roan said laughing as he stood to run and play.. "Don't go too far.." Shmi said to them.. "I'll watch them Mum." Ashlyn said, running after them..
"Hey Jar Jar." Cade said.. "What?" He replied, he had a screwdriver and was fixing something near the energy binders.. "Keep away from those energy binders.. If your hand gets caught in the beam.. It's gonna be numb for hours." Anakin said.. "Sorry, Okeday." Jar Jar said.. He then drops the screwdriver, bangs his head on the way up and begins yelping.. Padme rushed over to him.. "My tongue is fat." Jar Jar said as he hung out of his mouth.. "You're funny." Kina said to him.. "Where is the wretch." Jar Jar said.. He looks around as does Kina.. "Oh dare it is." Jar Jar said.. Jar Jar puts his hand in the turbine.. "Oh no, Ani! I'm stuck Ani! Oh no Ani!" Jar Jar yells to him.. 3PO is watching him.. "You know I find that Jar Jar creature to be a little odd." 3PO said.. R2 gurgles.. "You don't even know if the thing's gonna run." Kister said.. "I think it's time we found out.. Here use this power charge." Qui-Gon said to Anakin.. "Yes Sir." Anakin replied.. "Come on Kister, let's move away." Qui-Gon said.. "My ... my mouth..." Jar Jar said.. "I'm trying to help Jar Jar." Kina said.. Padme came over to help, they pull his hand from the turbine.. Just in time.. "Thank you." Jar Jar said.. "Uh, my tongue is fat." Jar Jar said.. "It looks really big now, Jar Jar." Jade said giggling, as she ran back over to the pod.. Ashlyn and Roan followed, they all came to stand with Kina, Padme and Qui-Gon.. Cade and Kister come over to stand with them too.. R2 is beeping again.. "You're right, he is odd." 3PO said.. Anakin fires up the Pod.. Don't know who is more amazed, Qui-Gon or Anakin.. "It's working! It's working!" Anakin yells with excitement.. "Told you it would." Cade said with a satisfied smile.. "They are clever." Jade said, clapping....
While this was going on, a man came to visit Watto.. "What do you want? We are closed today." Watto asked him with an attitude.. "I have seen the boys you have working here.." The man said to him.. "What is it to you, they are my possessions." Watto asked, glaring at him.. "How much for them, the girl and their Mother?" The man asked.. "What are you paying with Republic Credits?" Watto asked, glaring at the stranger.. "I have money." The stranger said.. "I do not care how many of them you have.. They are not for sale.. Republic Credits...." Watto said, turning his back on the man.. "How about a wager?" The stranger asked.. "Oh, not on the pod races?" Watto asked.. "Oh no, on dice now?" The stranger said.. "What do I get if I win?" Watto asked.. "How about 20, thousand Dactaries?" The stranger said smiling.. "For twenty thousand, you say... show me before we begin." Watto said, not trusting anyone.. The stranger put the bag of money down on the counter.. Watto flew over and looked inside.. "You do not believe I have them?" The stranger asked.. "Yes, yes I see you do.. But you have to understand, I had to check." Watto said.. He would have sold all three of the brats and their Mother, to the stranger for twenty thousand Dactaries.. "Let's play then." The stranger said.. "Just for the children.. Not for the Mother." Watto said.. The stranger stood for a moment.. It was still worth it.. He had to get the Dataries back to their owner before he knew they were missing.. "Blue I win, red you win." Watto said rolling the dice that has five blue sides.. But the dice rolled over to the red.. "What!" Watto said with anger.. "You can keep the kids for now.. But I will be back for them." The stranger said to him.. "Get out of my shop.. You are a cheater!" Watto said.. "No Watto, that would be you." The stranger said, grabbing his little bag of money and running out of the shop.. While Watto flew around with anger, wrecking the shop...
