Work Text:
The 501st had just gotten back to Courascant.
The last mission had been boring, keeping watch over a planet while some important trade discussions went on.
Anakin couldn't wait to get off the Resolute.
-
He unknowingly passed Rex when he was leaving.
Rex snuck in behind him, weaving though the 501st.
Anakin looked around.as he followed his men off the ship.
Rex was watching him as he hurried to the Temple docking bay, grabbing a speeder.
Rex buzzed a message to Ahsoka.
He watched as Anakin sped off, followed closely by a small togruta.
-
Ahsoka had been waiting for Rex's signal, before falling in line with her Masters speeder.
She made sure to stay in sight of him, but far enough away he wouldn't see her.
She watched as he pulled into the 500 REPUBLICA building.
Aha.
So the evidence was piling.
She buzzed Obiwan.
Let Stage 3 commence, she thought.
-
Obiwan had been staring at his comm since Ahsoka had left, having been messaged by Rex.
When the buzz went off, he stood up and watched for Anakin.
Seeing the young man, he followed him up the stairs. When Anakin got into a lift with a few other senators, Obiwan snuck in, hood up and stayed in the back.
Thankfully Anakin didn't notice him.
He buzzed Rex and Ahsoka.

《Chat closed by B1T3》

Anakin waited impatiently as the lift rumbled upward.
After a massive wait, the doors slid open onto his floor, amd he stepped out.
The door to Padme's suite hissed open sending her running into his arms.
"Hey Angel. Missed you."
"Oh Ani it's been too long! Come inside!"
They both walked into her apartment, oblivious to the three shadows who followed.
-
"Yeah, but why send my legion? Out of all the legions, the Council chose mine dor this boring job!"
Padme laughed.
"Trust me, there is no way that was worse then listening to Kaif Beka rant on for fifteen hours about crop production."
"But you said five hours before?!!??!?"
They both burst into laughter.
"Ahem."
The two turned around, Anakin igniting his lightsaber and Padme pulling two guns- (Where in Sith hells were those hiding?) -from her dress.
Obiwan, Ahsoka and Rex stood there smirking like they'd uncovered something sneaky.
"...hi?" Anakin tried, very confused.
He and Padme put the weapons away.
"Uh... what are you three doing here?" Padme asked, sounding confused.
Ahsoka giggled.
"We followed Anakin to confirm something." She said.
"And it seems that it has been confirmed." Obiwan continued.
Rex sighed.
"General, you realise that you are bot as sneaky as you think." Rex spoke up.
Anakin interrupted them, utterly confused.
"What are you all talking about?"
Ahsoka smirked, looking triumphant.
"Well Master, we're talking about your love life."
Anakin and Padme looked at each other, horror plastered on their faces.
Then they cracked a smile and doubled over laughing.
Obiwan, Rex and Ahsoka frowned, now the confused ones.
Anakin gasped out between laughs "Wait... so *laugh* so you guys think *more laughing* that me? And the senator? *laughter* are dating?"
"General, we thought you were married."
The two were howling with laughter now, Padme leaning on Anakin for support.
"Okay... *wheeze* now that *laugh* is the funniest thing I've heard *laughter* all day!"
Calming themselves, Anakin started to explain.
"My mother was Shmi Skywalker, a girl born to two Nabooian parents. When she was five, she was kidnapped and sold into slavery, wjere she eventually had me and so forth. But she wasn't the only daughter..."
Padme took over now, as Anakin tried to keep the laughter down.
Seriously, the look on Ahsoka, Rex and Obiwan's faces were priceless.
"My mother, Jobal Naberrie, was born to two Nabooian parents.
When she was 10, her parents had a second child. However, Jobal hated the second child, as she was the favourite.
So, when her younger sister was five she hired someone to take her to a new home.
Unknowingly, she had hired a kidnapper who had planned to do awful things to the young daughter.
Long story short, the girl was taken off the kidnapper by some drunken men who wanted money."
Anakin cut in again here.
"Jobal then married a man and they had children.
She changed her name from Skywalker to Naberrie."
The two smiled.
"We're cousins!"
Ahsoka stood with her jaw almost at the floor.
Obiwan was blinking rapidly, his brain trying to process what had just happened.
Rex was frozen.
Force this was the funniest thing that had happened to them all day.
