Anakin’s time on this planet, so far, had been spent doing the kind of good deeds the Jedi Knights were know throughout the galaxy for. It was probably a good thing he kept busy, because each day the pain in his heart grew worse from missing his beloved wife, Padme…the fact that she was heavy with child only made it worse. Unable to sleep anymore, he climbed from his bed and went to get a mug of the beverage the people here call coffee. He had come quite fond of it in the time he had been here.

Leaning against the counter in his kitchenette, Anakin closed his eyes and cast out his feelings as he enjoyed his mug of coffee; he was searching for disturbances in the Force…any tremor or ripple that might indicate trouble. It wasn’t the Force, but his ears that alerted him to a presence at his door. Quietly setting his mug on the counter, the young Jedi went to his belt hanging in the wardrobe and retrieved his lightsaber. With a deep HUMMMM, his saber grew and threw a clear blue light out into the dark room…Anakin’s bare feet made no sound as he crossed to the door…when he opened it, the only thing he found was an envelope with his name inscribed on the front. Inside was a correspondence…

Instructions:Go to the ski lift. You will be skiing and/or snowboarding on the slopes. This is mandatory. If you do not go, a golem will find you and take you there. Do not leave until the activities are finished, or a golem will take you back.

“What is this Ski and Skiing?”, Anakin asked aloud, then he recognized part of a compound word…”Snow?”. There was no snow on his home planet of Tatooine. Tatooine was a desert world, but as a Jedi Knight, he had been to the Winter world of Hoth. He ran to his patio door and opened the shades, “AMAZING!”, he exclaimed, with a huge, boyish grin. The land was covered in a blanket of virgin snow, rolling hills and larger peaks beyond, evergreens of all sizes and even the outsides of the buildings had changed.

Tucking his lightsaber back into his weapons belt, Ani jumped into the shower and scrubbed himself vigorously, excited about the coming day. After drying himself and brushing his teeth, he rushed to the wardrobe. Luckily, this planet had copied his wardrobe from home exactly. His Jedi-issue Hoth gear was all here. He slipped first into thermal underwear, socks, heavy pants, tunic, fur-lined boots, fur-lined parka, thermal scarf, fur-lined hat with ear flaps, fur-lined gloves and tinted goggles. He, of course, didn’t forget his weapons belt with lightsaber, rope and hook and other needed implements.

Once he was prepared, he figured that the map in the lobby would have changed to fit the changed landscape…at least he hoped so. Hurrying out to the lobby, he wasn’t disappointed. “AHAHA!”, he exclaimed, slapping the counter, pleased with himself for thinking to come there. He quickly spotted the ski lift and hurried off to get there.

Entering the shack, he noted two others inside, a lovely young woman…a dark-haired, dark-eyed beauty who reminded him so much of his dear Padme, he smiled at her and removed his goggles, “Hello, Miss, My name is Anakin”, he turned to see a young man who looked to be close to his age and similar enough to him to be a sibling or a cousin, “Hello to you too, my friend, my name is Anakin. Are we all here for this skiing and snowboarding?”.
