There was a buzz in the city as you made your way to work in the morning. Excitement seemed to be in everyone's eyes and words, and a general tension was in the air.

"Kreed, what the fuck is going on today?" You asked your coworker as you clocked in. "Is it a special day, or something? Everyone seems to be going crazy."

He was sitting behind the reception counter and just shrugged, giving you a bored look. "Jedi."

You rolled your eyes, "Again? Why have they been visiting so often?" You placed the coffee and slice of cake that you'd bring him every morning to sweeten him up so he'd let you leave early without ratting you out to the boss.

A small smile grew on his face as he took his breakfast, but it quickly fell again. "They come to show us how grateful they are that we helped them defeat the Sith."

Scoffing, you leaned your arms on the counter. "What the fuck did Tatooine even do in the war?"

"Beats me," Kreed replied as he signed you in on the computer before giving you a stern look. "Now go turn on the hose; your shift started three minutes ago."

You sighed and walked out into the hangar which was unsurprisingly empty. The small ship-wash station you worked at didn't get many customers, seeing as there was a bigger, better ship-wash about a mile away. The only time you'd get a lot of customers was when the big one was really busy, but on usual days like this one, it was pretty dead.

A few hours passed and a couple of regulars were your only customers so far, which were easy enough jobs. After lunch, a ship you didn't recognise flew in.

You got up from your chair and picked up your tablet, preparing to meet whoever it was. To your shock, Jedi Master Anakin Skywalker himself strode out of the ship, his eyebrows furrowed as he bound over to you.

"How long will this take?" He asked, making you frown.

"Uh, what?" You responded, a little star-struck.

He sighed, "How long will it take you to clean my ship? I need to get back to Coruscant as soon as possible."

You gave his muddy ship a once-over and shrugged, "An hour? It's pretty big."

"For fuck's sake," He mumbled under his breath, pure rage in his eyes. He gave you a glare, "Don't you have a droid that could do the job quicker? And better?"

"Don't you have a team of people waiting for you on Coruscant to clean your ship?" You retorted, raising an eyebrow.

"Not that it's any of your business, but there's a girl waiting for me to pick her up back home," Anakin said in a cocky tone, as though he was proud to tell you about it. "You think I'm gonna get laid in a dirty ship?"

Holding in a laugh, you put your hand on your hip. "And not that it's any of yours, but we're a shitty little ship-wash station that can barely afford the water bill, let alone cleaner droids. Why not just go to Goli's Station, about a mile south?"

"It's too busy there, it would take two hours just waiting in line," He grumbled, his eyes narrow. "So can you just do your fucking job and clean my damn ship?"

You plastered on your fake customer service smile. "Of course, Sir. Now, if I could just take down your name, for the records?"

He snorted and folded his arms across his chest. An awkward silence fell over you, because you didn't want him to know that you already knew who he was as that would just feed his oversized ego even more.

"Seriously?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

You gave him a confused look, "Uh, yeah? Look, guy, I need to know because otherwise my boss will be pissed. The quicker you tell me your info, the quicker I can clean your ship."
