Star Wars: Skywalker

Chapter 17 || Dinner Drama

"Dinner's ready!" Padmé yelled, trying to get their attention.

"Coming!" Luke and Leia exclaimed, leaving toys on the ground.

Anakin rushed over to the abandoned toys and muttered under his breath. "Messy kids..."

Obi-Wan chuckled. "Now you know the pain of being a father."
"Yeah, now I know. As if I've never knew what is it like." Anakin replied sarcastically.

After the clean-up, they went downstairs to the dining table. The table was made out of marble, the chairs were wooden.
"Nice table you've got here, Anakin."

"Thanks, Master."

They all sat down to eat. Luke and Leia were playing with their food.

"You kids better catch up with your food, or else." Padmé warned.

"But, Mummy... There's broccoli!" The twins complained.
"So what? You still have to eat." Anakin remarked.

"But we HATE broccoli!" The twins complained again, this time louder.

Anakin sighed under his breath. Twins... (A/N: You know the saying, double trouble? Yeah. So this is double trouble.)

Obi-Wan was still munching on his food. This is the BEST home-cooked food I've ever tasted before. It must be a struggle to cook up a dish like this...

Obi-Wan's thoughts were interrupted. Screech! Obi-Wan turned back to the present and saw Leia using her fork to scratch her plate. Clink! Clink! Clink! Luke was knocking his glass with his spoon.

Anakin became irritated. "WILL YOU TWO STOP THAT?! IT IS VERY ANNOYING, AND YOU TWO ARE VERY BAD-MANNERED!! DO YOU TWO KNOW WHEN TO BEHAVE YOURSELVES WHEN A GUEST IS AT OUR HOUSE???!!!!!!" he yelled at the top of his lungs. Okay, maybe he shouldn't have yelled at them like that.

The twins were taken aback by their father. Never in their lives had they ever heard him scream at them like that.

Luke just sniffled, tears rolled down his cheeks. He wiped them off. Leia wailed, tears rolling down her cheeks furiously and she was throwing a tantrum at the table.

Padmé tried to soothe the both of them. "Anakin! Why did you have to scream at them? They're only five! You know that Leia has your attitude! And Luke, he is scared! Like how you were when you were 7!" Padmé pointed out, still trying to soothe them.

Anakin looked down at the ground with embarrassment. "Sorry, Padmé. I-I guess I kinda lost it there." Anakin admitted, feeling full of regret. I shouldn't have screamed at them. They're only five. I just lost it over there. I can't scream at cute little kids like them. I wish I wasn't so bad-tempered... He thought.

"That's okay. But I need you to help me with something."

"What?"

"Help me calm them down!"

"Okay, okay."

Anakin turned to face Luke and Leia. "Kids, I'm sorry that I screamed at you. I didn't mean it. I just lost my temper. Can you kids forgive me?"

Luke nodded. Leia answered back, "Yes, we'll forgive you, Daddy, because if I were you, I'd react like that."

"Thanks, Leia."

Luke spoke up again. "Daddy?"

Anakin turned to Luke. "Yes?"

"Well... We're sorry too. For making you lose your temper. And can you forgive us?"

"Sure, Luke. All is forgiven."

All is forgiven...
