It was a cold, and stormy night in Coruscant. In the Skywalkers apartment, everyone was already in their beds, sleeping under the warm covers of their beds, after a tiring trip from Tatooine, and being so tired the moment they went to bed they fell asleep. Except in the twins bedroom.
During that moment, Alli was awake, looking at the window in front of her bed, hiding her face every time a lightning illuminate the room, making the little girl covered her face under the covers and shake when a thunder was heard.
"I'm not going to mama and papa bed," she kept saying to herself. "I'm a big girl."
But the poor girl just jumped in fear when the loud thunder was heard again.
"Alli, I can't sleep," Padmé said from her bed, making Alli peek from under the covers.
"Do you want to join me here?" she asked to her twin sister, making Padmé nod, and jumping out of bed, the two girls just get near each other, under the covers, covering their heads, when the light was seeing.
"I'm scared," Alli said to her twin.
"You don't have to be. It will not going to hurt you, sweetie," they heard and peeking out of the covers, the twins smiled when they saw their grandfather Anakin Skywalker force ghost, smiling at them, as he sat down at the edge of Alli's bed.
"Grandpa," Alli said with a big smile on her face.
"Hello you two," Anakin said.
"What are you doing here, grandpa?" Padmé asked him.
"Well, I just was checking on Ani and see if he is okay, and then I sensed my two granddaughters distress, and decided to check on you two and see what is going on," he said smiling at them.
The twins looked at each other before staring at their grandfather.
"We are afraid," they said at the same time.
"Afraid of the storm?" he asked looking at the window, the exact time a lightning illuminated the room again, making the girls gasped and hide their heads under the covers again, making Anakin smile at the scene. Deep inside he wished he was there physically so he could hug them and protect them.
After the thunder was heard, the girls uncovered their heads again.
"See."
"But it is not going to hurt you, since you two are safe here, in your bed."
"But why it is so loud?" Alli pouted.
"Well think of the thunder as a grumpy old man, yelling at the lightning because he did something bad that he didn't like," Anakin said winking at his granddaughters, who giggled at him.
"Then the lightning is grounding all the time," Padmé said making Anakin laughed at his granddaughter remark.
"Pretty much, yes," he said.
"Ben is not afraid of it," Alli said looking at him.
"Well he is a little older than you, also don't get in trouble like some little set of twins that I know," he said looking at them, which made the twins giggled at Anakin.
"And we are grounded like the lightning," Padmé replied at him.
"And you deserve to be grounded, don't you think?"
The girls looked at each other and nod.
"And we don't do it again?" they said at the same time.
"I hope so. Cause if something bad had happened to the four of you, we all be very sad."
