The littlest Skywalker

Eliz P. O. V

"Mama, you might want to make extra tonight." I said as I help mom prepare the food for dinner tonight. "And why is that?" Mom ask as she looks down at me with a smile. "Because Ani is bring home gust." I said as she looks at me confused. "And how do you know this?" Mom ask me. "I don't know, I just do." I said. Truthfully I really didn't know how I know that I just did, but my answers wouldn't be answer until later on.

"Mom, I'm home!" Ani calls out as he walks inside. Mom and I both walks towards him, when we saw he really was not alone. Padme, Qui-Gon, And Jar Jar Binks. Upon seeing them Mom gasp. "Oh my! What's this?" Mom ask Anakin as Ani smiles. "These are mine and Eliza's friends. This is Padme Naberrie, and this is..." Ani stops realizing he didn't know any of the others names as I decided to step in before anyone else could.

"See mama I told you he wouldn't be alone, and this is Qui-Gon Jinn, and Jar Jar Binks." I said as I could feel Qui-Gon eyes on me. Probably wondering how I knew his name since he hasn't even told me their names yet. But like I said I don't know how, I just saw it. "And our droid Artoo-Detoo." Padme adds as Artoo Detoo beeps, as I smile at the adorable little droid. "Eliza and I are building a droid! Wanna see?" Ani ask Padme enthusiastic.

    "Anakin why are they here?!" Mom ask. "Mom listen, there's a sandstorm out there." I said answering for Ani again as Qui-Gon states at me. "Your son was kind enough to offer us shelter. We met at the shop were he and his sister works." Qui-Gon says calming. "Come on! Let me show you mine Eliza's droid." Ani says dragging Padme's hand to where CP3O is at. I stare at them giggling before I look at Gui-Gon as he does the same to me before he sends me a soft smile before opening his arms and kneeling down on his knees. Smiling I walk into his arms.

   Once I was in his arms he pick me up, but when he did I was pulled into a vision. I saw Ani in a pod people surrounding him cheering as Qui-Gon helps him off the pod and onto his shoulder while more people continue to cheer and screaming in excitement. Then suddenly everyone start to disappear till it was just Qui-Gon, Jar Jar Binks, and Mom again. Qui-Gon was staring at me shock, like he also saw what I saw as well. "Please make yourself comfortable, I'll finish making dinner. Eliza will you be okay here?" Mom ask as I nodded laying my head on Qui-Gon shoulder.

3rd P. O. V.

   After Shmi was done cooking dinner everyone gather around the table and sat down. Qui-Gon sat at edge of the table, across from Him was Jar Jar Binks Who sat next to Anakin, who sat across from Padme who sat at the edge of the table, across from Shmi who sat next to Eliza.

   "All slaves have transmitter's placed inside their bodies somewhere." Shmi explains to Padme, Qui-Gon, and Jar Jar Binks. "Eliza and I have been working on a scanner to locate ours." Anakin says. "Any attempt to escape and..." Shmi starts to explain as Anakin finishes for her. "And they blow you up!" Anakin says. "I can't believe there's still slavery in the galaxy. The Republics anti-slavery laws should-" Padme starts to say before Shmi interrupts her. "The republic doesn't exist out here. We must survive on our own." Shmi tells her as Jar Jar Binks eyes an apple in a bow of fruits. Before he shot his tongue out and eating the apple, as he lets out a small burp. The action didn't go unnoticed as everyone turns their attention to him while Eliza smiles in amusement.

   "Excuse me." Jar Jar Binks smiles sheepishly as Eliza giggles at him. "Has anybody seen a pod race?" Anakin ask. "They have pod racing on malastare. Very fast, very dangerous." Qui-Gon says before eating a grape. "My sister and I are the only humans that can do it." Anakin tells Qui-Gon. "You two must have Jedi reflexes if you race pods." Qui-Gon says as Jar Jar Binks extends his tongue out to take another fruit, but lost it when Qui-Gon caught his tongue withe Jesi reflexes. "Don't do that again." Qui-Gon warns before letting his tongue go.

   "Like you?" Eliza ask Qui-Gon, as Qui-Gon cast his attention to her. "Like what?" Qui-Gon ask interested in what her answer will be. "You're a Jedi Knight aren't you?" Anakin ask. "What makes you think that?" Qui-Gon ask the twins. "By how you carrie yourself, how you speak, and how you move. It's clam, graceful, and no one around here is like that. Plus I felt your lightsaber when you picked me up, and Anakin told me he saw it as well." Eliza tells Qui-Gon as he smiles at her.

    "Perhaps I killed a Jedi, and stole it from him." Qui-Gon tells the twins, but they didn't believe it. "I don't think so, no one can kill a Jedi." Anakin says as Qui-Gon smiles at him softly. "I wish that was so." Qui-Gon tells him. "I had a dream that I was a Jedi, Eliza was one as well. And we both came back here, and freed all the slaves." Anakin says, as Eliza smiles at the dream they shared. "And what about you Eliza, what do you dream about?" Qui-Gon ask. "Peace. I dream about peace and balance. Where everything is okay we're theirs peace and happiness. Sometimes I dream about other things I'm not a hundred percent sure what they mean yet." Eliza says as she remembers the stranger she keeps dreaming about, but choose to keep that to herself. "Have you come to free us?" The twins ask at the same time. "No, I'm afraid not." Qui-Gon says. "I think you have. Why else would you be here." Anakin ask.

"I can see there is no fooling you, Anakin, but you mustn't let anyone know about us. We're on our way to Coruscant, the central system in the republic. On a very important mission. It must be kept secret." Qui-Gon says as the twins looks at him in shock. "Coruscant? Then how did you end up here in the otter rim?" Eliza ask. "Our ship was damaged. We're stranded here until we can repair it." Padme answers. "Eliza and I can fix it, we can fix anything!" Anakin says. "I believe you can, but our first task, as you know from our visit to Watto's shop, is to acquire the parts we need." Qui-Gon tells them.

"Wit Nutten ta trade." Jar Jar Binks says bitterly about Watto. "These junk dealers must have a weakness of some kind." Padme says. "Gambling. Everything around here revolves around betting on those awful pod racing." Shmi tells her. "Pod races. Greed can be a powerful ally, if it's use properly." Qui-Gon replies. "We've built a racer! It's the fastest ever!" There's a big race after tomorrow, on Boonta Eve. You could enter our pod! It's all but finished—" Anakin says, but was cut off by his mother. "Ani, Watto won't let you two race." Shmi tells him. "Watto doesn't have to know the racer is ours!" Anakin tells her. "You could make him think it's yours. You could get him to let Eliza or I to pilot it you." Anakin tells Qui-Gon.

     "I don't want you two race. It's awful, I die every time Watto makes you do, every time." Shmi says. "But Mom Ani loves it, and they need our help. The prize money would more than pay for the parts they need, to help them go to where they need to go." Eliza says. "Your mother's right. Let's drop the matter. Do you know anyone who's friendly to the republic who might be able to help us?" Qui-Gon ask as Shmi shakes her head negatively. "Mom please we have to help them. Remember what you told us. You said that the biggest problem in the universe is that no one helps anyone." Eliza says softly hoping her mother would give in.

    "I'm sure Qui-Gon doesn't want to put your son or daughter in any danger. We will find another way." Padme says as Shmi sakes her head in disagreement. "No Eliza and Anakin is right there is no other way. I may not like it, but they can help you, but the two of you can't complete together." Shmi tells them. "That's Okay Ani will be the one to race." Eliza says as Anakin looks at her excited yet hesitant. "Are you sure Eliza?" Anakin ask her as Eliza smiles at him. "Yep, besides you love pod racing way more than I do." Eliza tells him as Anakin looks at their mother. "So is that a yes?" Anakin ask their mother as Shmi nodes her head. "That's a yes!" Anakin shouted as Eliza laughs at him unknown to the heartbreak that the future has in store for them.
