"Tatooine Sunrise (Of Anakin and Amaretto)" (AOTC humour, Anakin Skywalker main, Wedding Shower fun)

Hello!

This story goes with "The Collapse of a Triangle" which was simultaneously posted. You don't have to read the other story to understand this one at all, but *shameless plug* you should.

It's a humour piece, with the premise of Anakin at Padmé's wedding shower.


Tatooine Sunrise
(Of Anakin & Amaretto)

(part of the "Strange Bedfellows" series)

It was only one week into Anakin's leave on Naboo, and under three months until his wedding to Padmé Naberrie, Queen Amidala. The next night was her pre-wedding party, and, as tradition went, only her female friends and family and Anakin's female friends and family were invited. Since Anakin's only living relative was his mother, it was mostly Padmé's side that was to be there. And, also per custom, there was only to one man present throughout the entire thing: Anakin Skywalker.
Oh, what fun he'd have!

Knowing that Padmé would flip if he wore his Padawan robes, he decided to wear his casual, yet 'dressy' black 'suit.' Well, to Anakin it was a suit. Not one for fancy clothes outside of anything military, he had little that suitable for showy occasions, and even then he had more dress clothes than most Jedi due to his frequent trips to Naboo's Palace at Theeb and other such places.
Dread filled Anakin's soul, and it multiplied by the second. He'd met a few of Padmé's female friends, and some of her family, and they alone were a handful. Padmé's habit of inviting everyone she could think of to parties threatened to take Anakin to the breaking point. He tried to reason with himself, this was important to Padmé, she asked him to come, and it was tradition and so on. However, Anakin could think of only one way he could go and remain sane: alcohol. Thankfully for him, there was to be quite the supply of it there.

As the groom, Anakin had to be one of the first people there, ready to greet the guests. Another of Padmé's habits was fussing and busying herself until she was needed elsewhere, so he stood alone, save for Padmé's mother and his own. Her mother was nice, affectionate and, though she could go overboard sometimes, Anakin was glad to have her as his mother-in-law. Padmé's younger sister, on the other hand, was a different story altogether. Anakin had already had three glasses of wine (this meeting with his mother's disapproval) and debated having a forth. The mother-respecting side of his brain told him no, the side of his brain that knew exactly what was coming screamed otherwise. During this debate, the aforementioned sister walked through the door and made a beeline for Anakin.
"Anakin!" she squealed with delight. "I'm just so happy to see you! May's said so much about you. I'm just so happy! She told me about the time that you and her went to Myiltar and went to the theatre and saw that lovely show by Priybl Cothi, and then I went to go see it, and it was exactly as good as she said. Did you like it? She liked it. Anyway, I'm doing good and I saw May the other day, and she came by to the school just to see me and she says I'm her special sister, and that's when I said that I'm her only sister, and she said you're so funny. She says you're funny too, but sometimes your jokes are stupid, but I think that's okay. She said she doesn't like the way you don't call when she knows you can or you're free, and when she calls the Temple you're always busy. I think she'd like you a lot better if you actually called her some times. And then May said that last month when you and her..."
Her voice continued on, but Anakin had long since tuned her out. Shmi Skywalker smirked, Padmé's mother rolled her eyes back. Anakin went and got that drink.

Two more glasses of wine and three shots of Coruscantian tequila later, Anakin Skywalker was in the dinning hall seated in-between Shmi and Padmé. Sabé was acting as Master of Ceremonies, and started the dinner with her small speech about her friend and how great it was to be there. Anakin was thankful that with Sabé small actually did mean short, and thankfu
