Luke and Padme AU part 2

“Luke? Luke?” Padme called out.

Padme looked all around the school for Luke, but no one was there.

“Luke?” Padme said one more time.

“Oh no.” Padme said anxiously.

Padme figured that Luke had already left campus and made his way back to the house. Quickly, Padme ran back to the moisture farm hoping Luke would be back there.

“You better be home!” Padme said.

As Padme was running home, a cloaked figure in a land speeder nearly hit her.

“Hey! Watch where you’re going!” Padme said angrily.

Padme was unaware that the man flying the land speeder was Governor Tarkin.

“Nerfherder!” Padme then preceded to kick the man’s land speeder.

Once Padme got back to the moisture farm the door to the house was locked. She tried entering the security password but the password was denied.

“Luke! Open the door, Luke!” Padme said over the voice intercom.

“Go away.” Luke said on the intercom.

Padme looked through a small opening to see a depressed Luke laying on his back listening to cantina music on the radio.

“Luke. We don’t have time for this.” Padme said.

“Leave me alone to die.” Luke said sullenly.

“Come on Luke the governor is going to be here any minute.” Padme said.

Luke only preceded to turn up the volume on the radio. Padme growled in frustration. Padme tried to unlock the door by using some open wires that Luke toiled with. She soon discovered that Luke had completely rewired their houses security system.

Suddenly governor Tarkin’s land speeder pulled up to the moisture farm unbeknownst to Padme.

“You are so finished when I get in there!” Padme said as she attempted to open the door.

Luke only kept ignoring his mother.

As Governor Tarkin made his way to the house he noticed Padme trying to fit through a small opening. As Padme was angrily mumbling, Governor Tarkin lightly kicked Padme’s leg in order to get her attention.

“I’m gonna stuff you in the blender, push puree, then bake you into a pie and feed it to the governor! And when he says ‘mmm this is great what’s your secret?’ I’m gonna say-.” Padme paused abruptly.

“Love and nurturing. Hi, you must be the-”

“The nerfherder.” Governor Tarkin replied.

“Oh. Oh. You know I’m really sorry about that. And if I had known who you were, of course, I never would have said that.” Padme fumbled with her words. Governor Tarkin could tell Padme was nervous and slightly disoriented.

“I can pay for that.” Padme said nervously.

“It’s a rental. Are you the guardian in question?” Governor Tarkin said sternly.

“Yes. I’m Padme Nice to meet you Governor…” Padme paused.

“Tarkin. Are you going to invite me in Padme?” Governor Tarkin said.

“I thought we could sit out here and talk.” Padme said

“I don’t think so” Governor Tarkin said.

“Right. This way.” Padme said quietly.

Padme and the governor made their way to the back of the house and much to Padme’s dismay the back door was also locked.

“Um. Wait here.” Padme said. Padme crawled through a small trap door connected to the house. Governor Tarkin heard loud crashing noises.

“Hey.” Luke said in a whining tone.

“So care for a drink?” Padme said once she opened the door

“Do you often leave your son home alone?” Governor Tarkin said in a stern tone.

“No never. Except for just now. I had to run to the Toche station to get some-” Padme paused and noticed the stove was burning. Padme let out a distressing scream and quickly went to turn off the stove.

“You left the stove on while you were out?” Governor Tarkin said.

“Just to simmer. Mmm. It’s coming along great.” Padme said. Once Padme saw what was inside the burning pot she let out a loud scream

“I found that this morning”. Luke said.

“Luke. There you are sweetums face. This is Mr.Tarkin.”

“Nice to meet you.” Governor Tarkin extended his hand to Luke.

“Your badge says Wilhuff.”

Governor Tarkin got down on one knee to examine Luke.

“Wilhuff Tarkin. You don’t look like a governor.”

“I’m a special classification.”

“Did you ever kill anyone?” Luke said.

“We’re getting off the subject.” Governor Tarkin said in frustration. “Let’s talk about you. Are you happy?”

As Luke was about to open his mouth, he paused for a second, he remembered what his mother told him to say to the governor.

“I’m adjusted. I eat four groups and look both ways before crossing the street.” Padme was gesturing Luke, behind governor Tarkin’s back, what to say.

“And take long naps.” As Padme was silently cheering him on Luke misinterpreted his mother’s gesture. “And get disciplined?”

“Disciplined?” Tarkin said.

“Yeah. She disciplines me real good.” Luke said.

“Sometimes five times a day with a wip.”

“A wip?”

“Uh-huh with barbed wire.”

“Okay, that’s enough sugar for you. Why don’t you run along you little cutie.” Padme let out a fake chuckle. “The other members of the Senate just thought he was a scream. Thirsty?” She knew full well that the interview was going horribly.

“Let me illuminate to you the precarious situation in which you have found yourself in. I am the one they call when things go wrong and things have indeed gone wrong”. Governor Tarkin said sternly to Padme.

“Oh. In case you’re wondering. This did not go well.”
