Several hours later.
After a few hours of walking around Mos Espa stores, with Anakin with them after he saved Jar Jar from an angry Alien, they started to see signs of a sandstorm on the horizon, this is not good news for them.
'' do you have a place to stay? '' Anakin's question takes them out of their thoughts.
'' let's go back to our ship, it's parked outside the city, '' Qui-Gon replies.
"You guys are not going to make it in time, what do you think about staying at my house until the storm ends?", he says looking at a sweaty out-of-shape Padme who caresses her fat belly.
Qui-Gon looks at Padme like he's asking for her opinion. She nodded eagerly.
Qui-Gon seemed really interested in Anakin, not one can blame him, the force is really powerful in the boy.
After a few minutes, they started to approach what was called 'slave quarters', there were houses on top of other houses, all huddled together as close as possible, it looked a little like an anthill.
'' Mom, I'm back! '' Anakin shouted to the back of the house, while the rest of them came in and shook the sand from their hair and clothes except Jar Jar, the storm was already strong at that moment.
listening to her son's voice, Shmi Skywalker came out of one of the rooms in the back, wiping her hands with a cloth, while wearing an apron on her 400-pound body, what she found with her son was a middle-aged man with robes, and a strange Alien and a young adult girl with a big potbelly that were straining the very tight clothes she was wearing. She first assumed she was pregnant but she changed her mind when the poor girl's belly jiggled when she stopped.
Meanwhile, the visitors were also watching her, she seemed to be between 30-40 years old, she had brown hair a little grey on the side, tied in a bun, brown eyes and the tan skin of someone who is very used to be under the sun, which is redundant considering the planet they were on, but looking at the features they could still see that she was a beautiful woman in her youth even when she is obese now.
'' Annie, what's going on here, '' she says as she turns her attention back to her son, with a gentle smile, although still confused, '' who are these people? ''
'' Mom these are my friends, I invited them home to shelter from the storm, their ship is out of town, '' he exclaimed excitedly, then smiled at Padme, '' this is Padme, and they are ... Huh ... '', it seems that only now he realized that he only knows Padme's name.
'' I'm Qui-Gon Jinn, '' Qui gon took a step forward to introduce himself, '' And this one is Jar Jar Binks '', Jar Jar bowed awkwardly, almost knocking over the furniture behind him, making everyone speechless about how he was clumsy.
* Blip * * Beep *, R2-D2 with its characteristic beep.
"Your son was kind enough to offer us shelter," Qui-gon says with a smile, "I apologize if it's inconvenient," and it brought a slight flush to the woman's face.
"It's okay, many were lost in these storms and were never seen again," she said before turning to Anakin, "Annie, why don't you show your friends the guest room."
'' Come Padme, I'm going to show you the C3PO, it's a droid that I'm building alone '', he grabs her hand and starts dragging her, she looks at him with a strange smile before following him, with R2- D2 and Jar Jar following.
