Jedi Master Luke Skywalker was babysitting. Mara had
gone shopping with his sister. She had left him to
watch Ben. Him!
Luke sighed. Although right now, Ben was watching Holo
Cartoons in the living room. Luke walked into the room
just to make sure everything was alright.
It was.
Luke headed into the next room to mediate. He sat down
and started mediating. He was in the middle of a very
detailed vision when he heard R2-D2 beeping loudly.
Luke jumped up and ran into the living room where he
heard the beeping coming from.
"BEN SKYWALKER! Put R2 down now!" Luke exclaimed when
he saw R2 floating in the air.
"But he was flying, Daddy!" Ben stated.
"I know he was, but your mother and I told you that R2
does not fly unless he is in a ship. Okay? Now put him
down."
"Okay, okay." Ben said recently as he put R2 down on
the ground again.
"Thank you, Ben." Luke said.
Ben went back to watching his Holo Cartoons or so Luke
thought. Luke's commlink went off, and Ben managed to
leave the room without Luke noticing.
"Hello? Chuba da naga (What do you want)?" Luke said
into his commlink.
"Kee baatu baatu (You bother me)." The person said to
him.
Luke recognized the voice as Gavin Darklighter.
"Gavin, you need a life."
"I know. Can you come hang out with me?"
"No, I'm watching my-"
Luke heard something explode.
"BEN!"
"Gavin, Mee jewz (good-bye)." Luke said quickly as he
hung up his commlink ran into the room where Ben had
snuck into.
Ben was standing in the middle of the room with pieces
of a droid that he was trying to build, all over the
place.
"Ben, what happened?"
"I tried to put that black piece into the green one
and it didn't want to go. So I pushed on it. And it
went boom!" Ben said pointing to each piece.
"Alright, well, please be careful from now on. Leave
it here for now. We can work on it with your mother
later if you want." Luke said.
"Okay, dad." Ben replied as he ran back into the
living room to watch cartoons.
Luke made sure that he was in the living room. Once he
new that Ben was in the right room, Luke headed into
the kitchen. Luke started cooking dinner. Mara would
be home in an hour or so and he wanted to surprise
her.
One hour later, Mara Jade Skywalker arrived home to
smell that her husband was cooking something.
"Luke! I'm home!" Mara said as she put her shopping
bags down in their room.
Mara walked back into the living room to find Luke
surrounded by toys of every kind and Ben sound
sleeping on the couch.
"Luke, what happened?" Mara asked amazed.
"What didn't happen is more of an accurate
statement." Luke replied.
"Come on, farmboy. Let's go have some dinner." Mara
said as she kissed Luke and picked up Ben who was just
waking up.
