Today Anakin's desk was covered with droid babies in bassinets. Each baby had a tiny stuffed Ewok tucked next to it. Hush.

"Today we talk about lust," Anakin said, pulling his attention back from the wall he'd been staring at, trying to get a handle on a bad feeling he'd been having since stepping foot on the island yesterday. "Or rather, the unintended consequences that can happen when you take action without precautions."

He smiled. Evilly. Some of his lesson plans might have changed this semester, but he had been looking forward to the droid babies with something close to unholy glee this go-around. "Meet your little projects for the next week. They're heavy, they cry, and they will record everything you do with them. So if you stuff them into a closet for the duration, believe me, I'll know."

After all, he'd built all of them.

He reached for a list of paper. "I've paired you up together." His smile turned a little more evil. "And some of your babies are a little fussier than others."

"Yes," Anakin said, sounding surprisingly sincere.

He felt that this could lead to a lot less heartache in the long run.

"You already have five versions of me," Leia said. Ouch. That really made her head hurt. "What if I don't want to share?"

"I don't really know any of them," Anakin replied.

That had been his Leia's choice, and he couldn't fault her for it.

"I'd like to know you."

"And I want to know you," Leia said. "But you make it so difficult sometimes."

"I'd say it's part of my charm, but I can feel Rory kicking me from here," Anakin said.

Leia made a decidedly unladylike snort. "Good for her," she said.

"Do you like her?" Anakin asked, trying not to look like the answer was important to him.

"She was nice," Leia said. And not an evil-stepmother type, which she hadn't worried about at all. Really. "I liked her, yes."

Anakin visibly relaxed. "She liked you too. She wants you to babysit some time."

Beat.

"And not get Dan to do it."

"I don't even know him," Leia said. "I wouldn't trust him with my sister!" Even if she was a half-alternate-universe sister.

"But you'd trust him with a portion of your grade," Anakin replied, arching up his eyebrow again.

"Droids are not my sister," Leia said. "There's a huge difference."

"I helped make them both," Anakin said.

That is a phenomenally stupid argument, Anakin.

And Leia gave him a look that said she agreed with that assessment of the argument. "Not in the same way, I hope," she said.

Anakin snorted. "I'm Jedi, not completely incompetent," he replied. "I'm a fairly--what's the word Ben uses? Astral--mechanic."
