Star Wars: Cross Paths 3

Chapter 57 - Emergency Meeting

Ines was sitting on the couches in the waiting room of the Temple, waiting for the food she and Bo ordered, while watching the twins playing around with Grogu.

The child, jumped all around, trying to ran from the girls, while they were running after him trying to catch, laughing at the same time. Sometimes she wish they would stay that age forever, where nothing will bother them and they were still so innocent.

Padmé approached her breathing heavily.

"Mama, I'm hungry," she said making Ines laughed.

"Of course you are, running around like a maniac," she replied tickling her daughter making her laugh. "I'm sure the food will be here soon."

Nodding the 4 years old went back to play with her twin and Grogu.

Then she heard someone saying her name at the entrance of the Temple.

"Excuse me, we have an order for Ines Skywalker."

Looking at it, she just stoop up.

"I'm here," she said walking towards the employee. "Oh that is a lot. Kids, can you help taking all of this food inside the kitchen please?"

"Of course Master Ines," the students said right away.

"I'm going inside to take the money to pay. How much is it?"

"Here," the guy gave her the paper with the bill.

Nodding she went inside, while the students were taking the food.

At the same time, Vina just entered the Temple and looked around.

"You can go, I will take the money and take it to Dex," she said, as the guy nod and left it.

She heard a lot about the Temple and now she could see it for the first time. As she was looking around, she got bumped by the girls who were still running around.

The moment they do that, the girls looked at the new face that they never saw before.

"Hello," Vina said smiling at the girls and crouching to face them.

"Who are you?" Alli asked right away.

"I'm Vina and who are you?"

"I'm Alli and this is my twin Padmé."

Vina looked at the girls, they were identical twins, looking exactly the same. Even if she was trying to find something that could show the difference between them, she couldn't find anything. These girls were really identical.

"I see you are twins. You are identical."

The girls giggled.

"Mama and Papa know," Padmé said.

"Of course, they are your parents," Vina smiled and her eyes went to Padmé neck. "What a nice necklace you have here?"

Padmé looked down to her crystal necklace that Luke had bought for her the other day.

"It is a crystal," the little girl.

"I see that. It is very beautiful," she said watching it closely, but before she could say anything, Ines came from inside.

"It is you. Where is the guy that was here giving the food?" she asked.

"He went back to the Diner. You know with the recent news, I guess some people got a little scared and we started to get a lot of orders instead. So I just decided to take the money myself."

"Oh okay then," Ines said. "Here are the credits for the food and thank you."

"You're welcome. If we need to order more stuff you know where to find us," Vina said and glaring the twins for the last time, she left, being watched by Ines as the woman walk down the stairs of the Temple.
