Author's Note: I was thinking about writing a short fanfiction as a Christmas gift to my readers, but I couldn't come up with any ideas until now. I thought of twenty-one pilots and remembered their song Stressed Out. "Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol' days." These lyrics lead to this.
I am sorry I have recently not updated, and I'm sorry. Once a week, after Christmas Break, I will update the Kidnapped Skywalker and PJO and the Factions with a chapter. Just a question, but who likes the Flash? Back to the Future? Arrow? I'm currently watching the Flash Season 1 Episode 12.
Set near the end of the Return of the Jedi
Prologue- Luke's POV- Changing the Life of ...Yourself?!
Luke stared at his father's body as it burned on the pyre. Feelings threaten to unleash themselves as he watched. No matter what his father had done as Darth Vader, he would always love him; the good in his father had saved his son and redeemed him. He smiled sadly as a tear trickled down his cheek; the victory over the Empire had price.
Luke stared at the stars as his father's body slowly burned into ashes; the stars twinkled at him as he thought of his childhood dream. To reach the stars, to find his father... Luke glanced at his father's body; he found his father... and his twin sister. Perhaps, one day, his other dream would come true, but not yet. The Rebel Alliance would need Leia to rebuild the Republic, and Luke would help his sister. After all, what was a Republic without its protectors? The Jedi would return to protect the galaxy once more.
Luke wistfully thought of Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen; he wished he could turn back time with the knowledge of what they were doing for, protecting him from. Leia also wished that her adoptive father, [in her mind, her real one], Bail Organa, and Alderaan were still here. Luke shook his head. There was no way to bring them back, and besides, the key to the Future had been practically given to them. He sighed but still…
No, he thought. No. But the Force had other plans. The last thing Luke remembered was being sweep up by the Force and hearing a Voice. "Your wish has been granted." The Voice said in dry humor. What did that mean? Luke wondered. Luke had no time to ponder the answer the question for his world faded to black.
5 BBY
Luke woke up in his room in his bed on Tatooine; he sat up and studied his surroundings. He felt as if he hadn't been in his room for years… Why do I feel this way? After all, last night, he had turned fourteen. Luke frowned. Why did he feel like he was older? He was confused, but all he could think of was… that… Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru were protecting him form something, never lose hope, and to listen and obey Uncle Owen without any whining.
"Luke, time for breakfast!" Called Aunt Beru from the kitchen. Luke quickly changed into his usual attire: a white Tatooine robe with his boots. He walked to the Dining Room table and sat next to Uncle Owen. Uncle Owen peered over and looked at Luke after setting his cup of blue Bantha milk down.
"Luke, you may not go to the Imperial Academy." He said firmly before sipping more of his milk. Luke felt sheepish; last night had not been the best time to express his wish. Aunt Beru raised her eyebrows at Uncle Owen as if saying that was not the best approach.
& FLASH BACK &
"Uncle Owen?" Said Luke nervously. "Yes, Luke." Uncle Owen replied. "When can I join the Imperial Academy?" Asked Luke.
Uncle Own sighed. That boy dreamed of flying, of being like his father, and of adventures beyond the stars. He loved his nephew, but he refused every time for his sake. Of course, most of his friends were gone; only five still lived here. Heck, Biggs was leaving for the Academy too. Owen Lars looked at his nephew's pleading face, knowing he would miss his best friend the most. They had flown together since they could walk and talk.
"No, Luke, you cannot." Said Owen strongly. "But…" "Not, Luke, you are not going!" Owen nearly shouted at him. "Why not?" Asked Luke. "You can't because… because… Ugh, never mind, let us go home." Said Uncle Owen fuming.
& END OF FLASH BACK &
"That's okay. I don't want to go." replied Luke. Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen shared a look. "Are you sure Luke?" Asked Aunt Beru. "Yes," Said Luke. Uncle Owen smiled; perhaps, Luke could be safe. Luke had a nagging feeling in the back of his head; something terrible would happen. He knew it. Somehow he did. The family of three eats breakfast in silence, while Luke's head was spinning with that information.
