The beginning has details of slavery. So, if that's something that bothers you or triggers you, start reading after the double squiggly lines. 

Year: 41 BBY
Setting: Tattoine 
Currently present: 0 y/o Anakin Skywalker, 0 y/o Allison Skywalker, and 31 y/o Shmi Skywalker. 

   It was the year 41 BBY on the planet of Tatooine. A pair of twins was born to a 31 year old Shmi Skywalker, who was under the ownership of Gardulla, a Hutt crime lord. Shmi sat with both children in the home of Gardulla, in the small room she was given. One baby cried while the other slept, both held to their mother's chest gently. Gardulla came down to the room and said," Make that thing silent or I'll do it for you." Shmi only nodded and gently rocked the second child to sleep. 

   Over the next couple years, Shmi worked for Gardulla, while also taking care of her twins, Anakin and Allison. When the twins were two, Gardulla called Shmi upstairs, and told her to bring Allison. Shmi had no choice but to listen, picking up the little girl and going upstairs after telling Anakin to stay on his little cot. She got upstairs and went over to Gardulla. Next to her was someone of a completely different race than either of them. Shmi didn't know what race they were, but it was easy to tell they were an off-worlder. 

   "Shmi, this man has made a generous offer that I can't bring myself to refuse." Shmi felt it inside her heart that she was told to bring Allison for a reason. "Then... Allie..." "Yes. She's been bought. At a very high price, mind you." The mother looked at her daughter and frowned. She didn't want to give her away, regardless of if she had to or not. Gardulla walked over to her and held out her hands," Hand her over, Skywalker." When Shmi refused, Gardulla made a growl-like sound and reached over to simply take the child from her. 

   "No! Allie!" Gardulla smacked her after her little outburst, easily knocking her to the ground. The crime lord then turned to the blue skinned male waiting by the door. "She's perfect." He said, gently taking the child from the shorter woman. He looked at the girl a little closer; messy blonde curls reaching just beyond her small ears, crystal blue eyes looking up at him with curiosity, soft, sun-kissed skin. 

   "Your payment is just outside." She nodded as a young male, sharing the same blue skin and dark hair as the man, walked in with a couple square boxes. "What you requested is in these." She nodded and checked the boxes before smiling," Alright. I see that it's all here." "Great. We'll get going now." Gardulla nodded and the two males left the house, ignoring the muffled screams and cries of the mother inside.

   When the child was taken to the two male's home world, the older of the two males took her to a large building. Inside, everyone, except for a few, bore the same skin, some lighter and some darker, but all blue. Allison looked around at the people walking past them with curiosity. The man holding her went into a room and went over to a desk," Ana, this is the child." He laid Allie on the small child-sized cot next to the desk. The woman behind the desk, baring almost the exact same shade of blue as the male, stood up and stepped to the side, to the cot. "Great work, Derec. Now go, I need privacy." 

   When the man left the room, the woman, now named Ana, picked up the curious child and sat her up on the desk. "Do you speak yet, young one?" Allie looked at her and clapped her hands a little," Kinna." "I'll take that as a 'kinda'. Well, what's your name?" "Allie!" The child chirped in excitement. "Allie? What an adorable name. Now, I need you to know that this may hurt a little bit, okay?"
