Peaches Ice Cream for "Company" by Susu, Rosie, Iella, DancingQueen, MaceVindaloo What is a luxury? In general, it's something that can't be gotten easily wherever you are. So on Kamino, anything that would require dryness or things like grazing land would be rare. On Coruscant, it might be fish, or anything, really. On Hoth, tropical fruits are only a dream. On Tatooine, it's anything wet and cold. ![]() Padmé Solo was a precocious tyke and being the first grandchild of Leia and Han, she was used to being spoiled; neither Jaina nor Jacen had settled down to produce children in Iella's story. She was also clever and creative, and when her mother said peaches and cream were reserved for when they had company, Padmé decided to have company! Her uncle Jacen was a well-known zoologist and animal wrangler who had his own holovision show, in which he'd travel to many worlds and present exotic animals to mainstream audiences. Often, he'd present Paddy as Padmé was called, to differentiate her from her great-grandmother with small pets, much to Anakin's and Tahiri's chagrin. But she did look after them well and played with them often. Paddy carefully dressed her Geonosian rock lizards, a nuna with a limp (which Jacen had saved after it'd been hit by a taxi near the spaceport), and some scurrying rodents in scraps of dress fabric fashioned into some semblence of haute couture. She duct-taped them to the edges of her little play table or to chairs, depending on their anatomy, and served up cups of tea and bowls of peach jam poured over with cream. Paddy had consumed so much sugar and cream that she fell asleep where she was, and that was where her mother found her napping. She scolded Anakin for encouraging her to alter reality. "Me? I was nowhere near her today!" Anakin protested. ![]() "Hey, that's not fair, we don't know anything about ... what are you doing?" Anakin recognized the ice-maker's distinctive noise as his wife cranked it up. "When you're finished pulling the tape off the animals, I'd like it please. I'm making ice cream, I need to seal the container. By the way, be sure Jacen takes a look at the animals when he gets here, make sure that Paddy taping them to the furniture to keep them still didn't harm them, okay?" Anakin admired how Tahiri could calmly make anything out of any situation! And when Padmé woke up out of her nap, she was delighted to see her uncle Jacen, for he was company! And she hadn't sated herself completely with her impromptu tea party, so she was delighted to eat her bowl of peach ice cream, too. Funny how some people always get exactly what they wanted, after all?
