I sat on a couch training with the force as my mother and Captain Typho were outside on the balcony having a private conversation. I raised my hand towards the vase on the table and closed my eyes, I breathed in and out relaxing as I concentrated on letting the force penetrate through out my body and towards the vase, for it to obey my commands. Seconds passed until I opened my eyes and saw the vase floating peacefully in the air, making me sigh out in victory and chuckle slightly at my accomplisment. "OBI! Mesa so smilen to seein yousa!" I heard Jar Jar scream causing me to jump and the vase dropped, I watched the vase smash with a loud 'crack', making me tense for a few seconds before groaning annoyed, as I got of the chair and headed to the entrance.
"Jar Jar, you made me drop the vase!" I shouted annoyed causing the three to look at me, Obi smiled at me to which I smiled back before looking at the boy next to him, he seemed familiar before the clogs in my head clicked, causing me to gasp. "Papa?" I spoke shocked causing him to recognise me before gasping and running over to me, his arms wrapped around my waist in a tight hug as my arms rested on his shoulders. "I've missed you, Papa" I whispered as tears developed in my eyes making me sniff before we pulled away.
"Well I'm here now, so I don't want to see my grown daughter cry" Papa cooed making us chuckle at his softness, before we entered the room I was originally in.
"Senator Padme. Mesa palos here! Lookie, lookie, Senator. Desa Jedi arriven" Jar Jar called to my mother, making her and Captain Typho turn to our direction before walking over to us, as Uncle Ben bowed respectively.
"It's a great pleasure to see you again, milady" Uncle Ben commented.
"It has been far too long, Master Kenobi. I see my daughter is already overjoyed at your arrival" Mother replied making me chuckle before she noticed Papa, "Ani? My goodness, you've grown" Mother commented as Father moved towards her while Uncle Ben moved out the way and looked at me, I tackled him into a small hug which he gratefully returned.

"So have you. Grown more beautiful, I mean. Well, f-for a senator, I mean" Father retorted making me snicker at his cheesiness but I can't complain, I'm just as cheesy. What can I say? Like Father, like Daughter.
"Ani, you'll always be that little boy I knew on Tatooine" Mother replied making me gag at my parents flirting horribly, I watched my mother and the other Senator go to sit on the couch making me follow.
"Nice save, Dad" I whispered in my father's ear as I passed him and sat on the couch next to my mother.
"Our presence here will be invisible, milady, I can assure you" Uncle assured my mother sitting on the other couch with Father.
"I'm Captain Typho of Her Majesty's security service. Queen Jamilla has been informed of your assignment. I am grateful you are here, Master Kenobi. The situation is more dangerous than the senator and Princess will admit" Captain Typho introduced making me groan as I got up.
"We don't need more security. We need answers. We want to know who's trying to kill us" I complained annoyed as I paced back and forth.
"We here to protect you, Young Skywalker, not to start an investigation" Ben commented making me shake my head and cross my arms angrily.
"We will find out who's trying to kill you and your mother, Lucy. I promise you" Papa compromised making me sigh thankful that I have a loving father.
"We will not exceed our mandate my young Padawan learner" Ben scolded.
"I meant that in the interest of protecting my daughter and her mother, Master. Of course" Papa replied making me and mom look at each other knowing an arguement will break out.
"We will not go through this exercise again, Anakin, and you will pay attention to my lead" Ben said sternly before looking at us.
"Why?"
"What?" Ben spoke looking at Papa confused.
"Why else do you think we were assigned to them if not find the killer? Protection is a job for local security, not Jedi. It's overkill, Master. Investigation is implied in our mandate" Anakin reasoned making me nod agreeing, see me and my father are alike a lot more than everyone thinks we are, even having the same thinking process.

"We will do exactly as the council has instructed. And you will learn your place, young one" Uncle ended the arguement, making Papa look down defeated.
"Perhaps with merely your presence the mystery surrounding this threat will be revealed. Now if you'll excuse me... we will retire" Mother exclaimed before we headed to our rooms. I got changed into my pyjamas and placed my lightsaber on my bedside table before laying down and going to sleep...
