Merry Christmas, everyone! *throws confetti and Santa hats* Or is it the day after Christmas for you? No matter - happy holidays!

Gathered

"Merry Christmas!" Anakin and Ahsoka chorused cheerfully when the door swung open. Padmé smiled at them, already gesturing for the two to come inside her apartment. "Glad you came!" Padmé bubbled as both Anakin and Ahsoka stepped inside. "I thought that since everyone was so busy these days –"

"We wouldn't miss it for the world," Ahsoka replied, her grin wider than ever. "Plus, it's Christmas – and Master Skywalker paid extra attention to the fact that we wouldn't receive any missions today. Just because of today." At that, she cast both Padmé and Anakin a smile, which made both adults look at each other in bewilderment. There was something knowing in that smile, but Ahsoka didn't elaborate.

"Master Kenobi! You're here!" Ahsoka sang, heading into the living room section of the apartment. The bearded Jedi, sure enough, was seated on the couch. With a laugh, he replied, "Early, but here – didn't want to skip this."

"All here, then?" Padmé beamed. Looking around the room and clapping her hands, she cheered, "Yes! We are! Good!" Grabbing Anakin, Master Kenobi, and Ahsoka with surprising strength, she cried, "Let the Christmas celebrations start!"

A/N - Because our favorite dysfunctional family needs some sort of happy ending. Reviews are always welcome - constructive criticism is alright, but flames are not.

Wishing you a merry Christmas/happy holiday,
