Log_Lady: Hey guys!!!! A while back, Nalitie dared us to go visit young Anakin Skywalker! We are going to do that now!

Erik: This ought to be interesting.... I suppose we're taking the T.A.R.D.I.S.?

Log_Lady: Yup! *opens up the door and goes in, followed by Erik* Hello Doctor! We need you to take us to Tatooine, around the year BBY 32. We're visiting Anakin!

The Doctor: Sounds fun! I'll take you to..... How about 33 instead? He'll be a year younger, but then we can be sure you won't be messing with canon.

Log_Lady: Sounds good!

Erik: BBY.....?

Log_Lady: It stands for Before the Battle of Yavin.

Erik: You geek.

David Tennant: A few minutes later.

Log_Lady: *knocks on the door*

Shmi Skywalker: *opens the door* Hello, how may I help you?

Log_Lady: We'd like to see your son, Anakin, if that's okay.

Shmi: What do you want him for? I've never seen you before....

Erik: Actually, we're not from this planet. We heard from someone up at the cantina who says he's the father of one of Anakin's friends that he's working on building a droid. It seemed an incredible task for someone so young, and I was thinking I could give him some suggestions?

Log_Lady: Erik's somewhat of a genius.

Shmi: I suppose so. Do come in! *steps aside* Anni, put some tea on! You have company!

Smol Anakin: *comes running up excitedly like the precious cinnamon roll that he is* Company for me?? *grabs their hands and leads them inside* Hi! I'm Anakin but you can call me Anni and it's nice to meet you!

Log_Lady: *whispers* So precious.... So pure.......

Erik: Hello, I am Erik and this is Log_Lady! I'm curious about this droid I heard you were building...

Anakin: Oh! He's only partly done still. But he's gonna be C-3PO when he's done! Right in here! *leads them to his room and shows them* I think I'm going to put red plating over the wires when he's all done.

Log_Lady: Red? Really? I think gold would look better.

Anakin: Hmmmmm........ *observes droid for a moment* I think maybe you're right!

David Tennant: They played a few games and visited much, until it was little Anakin's bedtime.

Anakin: *hugs Erik and Log_Lady* I'm glad you guys came and visited before you went back to your planet!

Erik: I'm glad as well. Good luck on your droid!

Log_Lady Yeah, I'm sure he'll turn out great!

David Tennant: After The Doctor takes them home....

Log_Lady: *tearing up*

Erik: What is it....?

Log_Lady: *flings herself at Erik, sobbing hysterically* HE USED TO BE SO GOOD AND INNOCEEEEEEENT

Erik: He did, yes. Well..... I suppose this is the end. Goodbye everyone!
