The park [Friday afternoon]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory had heard a little about what had been going on on the island.

Well, okay. She'd heard that Anakin's first wife was visiting. The dead one. The dead mother of Rory's stepchildren, who were older than Rory herself in one of the timelines to choose from.

So, you know. Typical Skywalker fun.

But Rory herself, as much as she wanted to hide at home and not meet Padmé, was drawn to the island. She took Juliet with her, and got an iced coffee from the Perk before settling in the park. As much as she wanted to meet the first Mrs. Skywalker -- the one who had been married to Anakin, since she'd known an unmarried Padmé before -- her nerves kept her stalling a bit. She fiddled with Juliet's shade on her stroller, she checked her text messages, she even wrote an email to her mother on her phone.

Because honestly, Rory didn't even know where to look. But she didn't want to say she hadn't tried at all, either.

[yeah, if you didn't guess, Rory's going to run into someone. But it's open for anyone who wants to run into Rory and the baby, or Padmé!]

"So. I have to ask," Rory said, laughing at that. "Who had more hair products -- you or him? Because your hair is beautiful -- and Leia's style is inspired by yours, has to be -- but, you know, I've met Anakin...."

"I like you," Padmé admitted between giggles. "He said that it was because he was trying to make up for all of the room I took in the closets."

"He has like two outfits," Rory commented, arching an eyebrow.

"And a poncho," Padmé said with a little grin. "Never let him pick out an outfit for undercover work. He has terrible taste."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Poncho?" Rory asked, snorting. "Really? Oh, Anakin."

[force-forgives.livejournal.com]

"It was awful," Padmé said. "We were supposed to be refugees, but honestly."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"You could be refugees with decent taste," Rory agreed. "I mean, were you in a poncho?"

Well, she had been wearing a slightly questionable headdress, but that was hardly the point.

"Of course not," she said.

"No one should let him shop alone," Rory decided.

"It was really a gift that the Jedi picked out most of his outfits," Padmé agreed.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"And kept him in nice, neutral tones," Rory added. "Lest he decide that purple is his color or something."

She laughed. "He tends towards black, given the option."
