Ahsoka looked out the window of the cockpit as she brought the ship down to a landing pad.

"Look at those hills. They're so beautiful!" Ashla exclaimed. She was right. Naboo's hills were like the waves on a smooth sea. There must have been amazing views from any room in any building here.

As they walked out of the ship, they were greeted by the Skywalker family.

"Hello There!" Anakin called.

"General Skywalker," Lux said with a mocking bow. Anakin laughed, while Ahsoka elbowed her husband.

"He's not a general anymore, Lux," Ahsoka said.

"Yeah, I know, I was just joking."

"Ahsoka, Lux, it's so good to see you! You to Ahsla!" Padmé said with a smile. "How are you? How are the girls?"

As if on cue, Mina started gurgling happily. She had noticed a herd of shaak in a field near the Skywalker's manor. Kalifa also started to point, though not as excitedly as her sister.

"They're surprisingly active for their age. I'm glad they can't crawl yet. Mina already gets herself into trouble when she's lying on the ground. On the way here, she started eating Lux's hair," Ahsoka said.

"Well, let's get you guys situated then," Anakin replied with a laugh.

That evening they all had dinner in a beautiful dining room that was majestic without making it feel overpowering. Padmé told them that Anakin tried to make dinner but ended burning the meatloaf he was making, so she had to take over. Ashla loved the Padmé's meatloaf; she was already on her third piece!

They talked about many things as they ate, such as the babies, Ashla's studies, and most importantly, the Sith threat.

After dinner, they put the babies to bed, and the adults plus Ashla gathered in the living room.

"Any news on how the Senate is planning to handle the new Sith threat?" Ahsoka asked.

"It's all the same. Half of the senators want to go to war. Many want to find a peaceful solution, while some think ignoring this new threat will stop us from being pulled into another war." Padmé explained.

They kept talking late into the night.

In the morning, Ahsoka and Anakin set out into the fields to catch up and meditate since they hadn't spent time together in a while. Anakin explained that it was actually really relaxing to meditate outside and that it always calmed him down when he was stressed. The two mediated for about an hour or so when they suddenly heard a ship approaching.

"Huh, that's weird," Anakin stated. "We weren't expecting any other visitors."

The ship landed a couple of meters away from them, while Ahsoka and Anakin approached it. As soon as the main door opened, out jumped two figures in black robes. They both ignited deep red lightsabers.

"Sith!" Ahsoka cried. She ignited both of her white sabers, while Anakin ignited his bright blue blade.

The Sith charged at them, and they were suddenly locked in ferocious combat. The Sith slashed and parried, kicked and pushed; the two Jedi were unprepared and soon overpowered. The Sith that Ahsoka was battling knocked her larger saber out of her hand and got her in a force chokehold. As she began to lose conscience, she dropped her other blade. As soon as Ahsoka backed out, the Sith dropped her to the ground.

Anakin saw his former padawan and daughter fall and cried out.

"No!!! Ahsoka!" While he was distracted, the other Sith knocked his lightsaber out of his hands and kicked him in the face. They picked up his lightsaber and held their own and Anakin's at his throat.

"Come with us, and no harm will be done to her... YET," The Sith said in a menacing tone.

"Okay, I will come. But if you put ONE scratch on her, you will regret it for the rest of your life." Anakin growled.

The Sith put them both in handcuffs and dosed them with force inhibiting drugs.

As the ship flew out of the field, Padmé saw it from the living room.

"Lux? Did you see that ship leave the surface? I didn't see it arrive."

"Yes, that is strange. Let's go find Anakin and Ahsoka; maybe they'll know what it was," he replied.

"What about the children?" She asked.

"How about I stay here with the kids while you and Ashla go look for them. Who knows where they wandered off to," he said with a chuckle.

Suddenly, Ahsla burst into the room.

"Ahsoka is in trouble!" she cried. "I can sense that she is in distress, but I can't contact her or Anakin."

"The ship that just left must have them on it!" Lux said, his voice quivering with fear for his wife.

"What are we going to do?!"

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! A cliffhanger after I made you wait so long for the second chapter. Please don't kill me. So, how do you think Anakin and Ahsoka are going to escape the Sith? Again, if you have any suggestions or constructive criticism, I will gladly listen (or read since you won't literally be talking to me, haha). I also had a lot of suggestions from @AhsokaTano1230987, so I hope you like it! As always, MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!
