Anakin had brought Athena to an open area where he was working on the pod he had and showed it to her, He said he still had to tune it up and fix a few things. Athena didn't really know anything about Pod's or how to fix them so as he was working Athena asked if she could help him and Anakin agreed.

" Hi, Ani " Athena heard someone say as they were working, she and Anakin looked up from where the two were working and saw a group of about five children run up to them and Padmè walked over to them as well with parts in her hand. Jar Jar,C-3PO and R2 not to far from them as well.

" Wow, a real droid " one of the younger children say while pointing at R2 " How did you get so lucky ".

" That isn't the half of it " Anakin says as he stepped towards the kid and leaned onto the pod " I'm in the Boonta race tomorrow ".

" What " all of the children gasped.

" With this " the same kid that spoke before says, the nonhuman child spoke in an alien language that Athena was learning and he said something along the lines of Anakin being a joker, obviously doubting Anakin.

" You've been working on that thing for years " the older girl of the children says.

" It's never going to run " the younger girl chimed in.

Athena frowns at them doubting Anakin as the group of kids decided to go play ball somewhere else, Anakin looked down and fiddled with the tool in his hand. Athena puts a comforting hand on his shoulder as the other children decided to play somewhere else.

" Keep racing Ani, you're gonna be squashed like a bug " one of the meaner boys says before running off. Athena felt her blood boil at what he said to Anakin, she uses her abilities and focused on the boy as he ran and caused him to fall to the ground flat on his face. she smiles as the boy got up confused on how he fell over nothing, Anakin must of felt her anger towards the boy and the use of her abilities. Because he looked at Athena in surprise.

" Did you...? " Anakin started to ask.

" Shhh..." Athena smiled, while putting a finger to her lip.

Athena and Anakin got back to work as soon as they noticed the nicer boy stayed, Athena smiled at him as she continued to tighten the screws and attach various parts on the side she was working on. Anakin walked over to the other side of the pod and warned Jar Jar about the laser beam that will cause numbness if it touched him, Athena watched as Jar Jar dropped a tool as Anakin warned him and lifted his head into the beam. Athena sighs and rolls her eyes as Jar Jar stated his tougne was numb, Athena finished up her work as she chose to ignore him.

" Great, I'm done on my side too " Anakin says smiling at her as he started to climb into the pod.

" You don't even know, if it's going to run " the nice kid says as Qui-Gon walked up to them.

" It will, I think it's time we found out " Qui-Gon says as Anakin sat down in the pilot seat " Here, use this power charge " Qui-Gon added as he handed Anakin the power charge.

" Yes, sir " Anakin says happily as Athena, the boy and Qui-Gon moved out the way as Anakin installed the power charge. Athena watched as her sister made her way to a stuck Jar Jar and pulled his stuck hand out of the engine part of the pod, Padmè then walked over to her sister as they all watched as Anakin successfully started the pod. Athena and Padmè shared a smile as Anakin happily chanted that it was working.

" Stay still Anakin, let me clean this cut " Qui-Gon says to Anakin as the two sat on the edge of the balcony, Athena stood next to Anakin as Qui-Gon finished cleaning his cut.

" There's so many, do they all have a system of planets? " Anakin asked Qui-Gon as he look looked up to the star filled sky.

" Most of them " Qui-Gon answered with a smile.

" Has anyone been to all of them? " Anakin asked as Athena continued to look up at the sky with him.

" Not lightly " Qui-Gon says chuckling.

" I wanna be the first one to see them all " Anakin says excitedly " Athena would you come with me to see them all? " Anakin asked her.

" Of course " Athena answered smiling at him, but then Athena remember that it wouldn't be easy for her to travel and explore like Anakin could. Athena was a princess with very important tasks and duties on her shoulders, and she was also suppose to take over after Padmè when the time came.

" If the force allows it " Athena added as Anakin gave her a questioning look.

" Ani, bedtime " Athena heard Anakin mother call out.

" There, good as new, the both of you " Qui-Gon says.

" Ani, I'm not gonna tell you again " Shmi says as she walked by the balcony " You should go to bed to Athena, I'm sure you and your sister are tired ".

" Go on, you have a big day tomorrow Anakin and you need your rest as well Athena " he motions for Athena and Anakin to go inside " Sleep well Athena....Anakin ".

Anakin grabbed Athena's hand as they both walk inside to go to bed.

Athena was asleep next to her sister as Qui-Gon quietly entered the room and walked over to Athena and grabbed a small dagger out of his pocket and grabbed Athena's palm and cut it light and the girl flinched in her sleep as the man froze but the girl went back to sleep as the Jedi sighed in relief.

The man walked out of the room and outside and contacted his Padawan on his communicator.

" Obi-Wan " Qui-Gon called out.

" Yes, Master " Obi-Wan says answering his communicator.

" I need an analysis of this blood sample, I also have another " Qui-Gon says, obi-Wan tells his master to give him a moment before getting back to him " I need a midi-chlordan count " Qui-Gon added as he pressed in Anakin's blood sample in the device, after a few minutes Qui-Gon removed Anakin's blood sample and put in Athena's.

" The reading is of the charts for the first it's about 20,000 and the second is about 18,500 even Yoda doesn't have a midi-count as high as that " Obi-Wan says.

" No, Jedi has " Qui-Gon says.

" What does this mean? " Obi-Wan asked.

" I'm not sure " Qui-Gon says as he shared an uneasy look with Shmi who was still standing in the doorway.
