Luke Skywalker yanked back on the stick to the Jades Shadow as a laser barely missed the ship by mere inches. His son Ben was sitting in the co-pilots seat and Leia was sitting in the seat behind the pilots chair. "Get to the cannons, Ben."

"What happened to asking two minutes ago and you said no, everything's fine speech?" Ben quipped in a sarcastic tone causing Luke to glare at him.

"Now Ben," Luke snipped a little too easily as Ben stood up and made a hasty retreat to the back where the cannon was. "He's got too much of his mother's sarcastic tongue on him."

"Luke, he did offer two minutes ago in case we drew attention from the Yuuzhan Vong military," Leia pointed out as she slid into the co-pilots seat. "Just focus on keeping us from getting blown up, please."

Luke silently agreed with Leia's assessment as he yanked on the stick as the back cannon came alive nailing three fighters in quick succession. Ben was turning into quite the gunner as well as pilot. His son was turning into a great Jedi. He couldn't be prouder. He turned his attention to a weird bright light causing him to frown. "Get a scan of that white light."

"It's a black hole, Luke," Leia quickly answered with a frown. "There's no point in scanning it."

"I've heard rumors about it being a worm hole and where the Yuuhan Vong came from," Luke explained with a frown. "Isn't this a good chance to see if that rumor is correct?"

"Luke, it's a rumor, there's no such thing as time travel," Leia snipped easily as Luke rolled his eyes.

"Then we can put the theory to rest," Luke pointed out as Leia did a quick scan as Leia looked confused from the results.

"This can't be right," Leia muttered under her breath as he noticed his twin running the scan again. "It's showing time is warped?"

"And I thought wormholes were just myth," Luke muttered under his breath as he aimed for a spot to make the jump to lightspeed. "Get ready to make the jump to lightspeed, I don't know about you, but I'm ready to leave."

"I was just starting to get comfortable, why didn't you ask two minutes ago when they started shooting?" Leia gave a sarcastic smirk causing Luke to roll his eyes. He wondered from which parent Leia got her sarcastic tongue from. She started punching in coordinates.

"Just get us out of here, Leia," Luke quipped in an irritated tone as Leia mock glared at him. "Please?"

"Well since you said please," Leia smirked that reminded him of Han, when did his brother-in-law rub off on her? He thought silently to himself as she pulled down on the hyperspace lever as a bright blinding flash lit up the cockpit causing Luke to raise his arms to protect his eyes.

Anakin Skywalker picked up a small ball and used the Force to move it around in the air as Padme looked over papers of a new bill she planned to argue later today. "I'm supposed to be on a meditation retreat, let's make a vacation of it. Get away from it all?"

"I would love too, Ani. This is important, I can't abandon it now. How about tomorrow?" Padme questioned with a slight smile as Anakin shook his head in frustration.

"And when do you plan to take a break from all of this?" Anakin challenged with a frown. "We can go somewhere where no one knows us, so we can be husband and wife for once instead of Senator and Jedi," he attempted again. Hiding the marriage had worn down on him and he was very tempted to leave the Jedi and do something else with his life.

Padme looked up from the paper she was studying and stood up. She walked to Anakin's side and kissed him just the way he liked it. He felt shivers go up his back as he felt Padme shiver in his arms. He pulled back looking into her chocolate brown eyes. "I love you, and we'll take a break. Tomorrow. I have nothing planned for once."

"What time should I pick you up tonight?" Anakin questioned in a frustrated sigh.

"Six," Padme answered with a slight smile. "I had Threepio book at the La Tronge. Don't be late."

"All right, six tonight," Anakin agreed with a slight smile. "And tomorrow we disappear, no comlinks."

"No comlinks," Padme promised with a smile. "I have a meeting to prepare for, I'll see you later."

"See you later," Anakin gave a loving smile as he left her room. He felt more frustration wash over him. He loved Padme but they needed time to their selves to strengthen their relationship. He paused for a second as he felt a disturbance in the Force causing a cold feeling to wash over him. Maybe he should go talk with Yoda and see what he makes of it or he could do some meditating on his own to see if he could get a lead? Maybe they'll finally catch Grievous and Dooku. One could only hope.

Anakin entered the room as Yoda didn't turn in his direction. Either Yoda was expecting him or the Grand Master was in deep meditation not even knowing he was here. He sat down cross-legged onto one of the meditation pads waiting for Yoda to acknowledge him.

"Expecting you I have, young Skywalker," Yoda spoke with a frown. "Disturbance in the Force, felt it have you?" He questioned as Anakin nodded. "Involves you it does, expect visitors soon you will."

"Who am I expecting, Master?" Anakin questioned in curiosity. Who could warrant his attention that Yoda would know ahead of time?

"The Senator and Jedi, a forbidden marriage it is," Yoda spoke as Anakin felt fear flood him. "Know of Padme and you, I do. Involves this her, it does."

"I don't understand," Anakin spoke feeling more mystified than ever. "Why haven't I've been expelled if you knew I was in a relationship?" He questioned in curiosity.

"Destined by the Force, it has been. Interfere I cannot," Yoda answered simply. "More secret with your feelings you should be when around the senator. Foreseen the future I have."

"Oh," Anakin felt mystified as he looked at Yoda with a frown. "When you say I should let her go… You mean let go of my fear of losing her?"

"Yes," Yoda answered. "Depends on it, the future does."

Great, as if being the chosen one wasn't enough to balance already, Anakin thought sourly to himself, now the whole future depended on his actions. "Who is coming, Master?"

"Meditate you will, soon you will find out," Yoda answered with a frown. "Much pain and grievance you have brought down on them."

Anakin paused for a second hearing the warning in Yoda's tone making him think he should meditate to get a clearer picture on what the master meant. "I'll meditate, I have plans with Padme later but I have time to meditate till then."

"Must not keep the misses waiting," Yoda smirked with a knowing smile. "Or mad she will be."

Anakin smiled to himself, some Jedi were allowed to marry. It had to be either apart of their culture like the Corellians or special occurrences. Maybe they could finally stop hiding the marriage at some point. One could only hope.

Luke opened his eyes noting they were slightly blurry. He reached up to rub his eyes as he heard Ben calling his name over and over again. He slowly sat up and glanced beside him to where Leia was sitting. She was still fast asleep and was lying against the console as he shifted in the seat to face Ben. "Are you all right, Ben?"

"I'm fine dad," Ben answered with a slight smile. "Aunt Leia is not responding, she's still breathing…"

Luke placed his hand onto Leia's shoulder and gently shook it until he heard her moan a bit. Her head moved a bit as she grabbed his arm to stop him from shaking her shoulder. "Leia, are you all right?"

"I have a migraine," Leia answered with a groan. She slowly sat up and looked at Luke with a questioning expression. "What happened and where are we?"

"I don't know," Luke answered honestly as he looked at the coordinates, last he remembered was Leia pulling down on the hyperdrive lever and he didn't remember much after that. He looked at the coordinates, he shook his head in confusion as he glanced at Leia again. "We can't be at Coruscant," they hadn't been back since the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the planet.

"If we're here at Coruscant, where is the Yuuzhan Vong army?" Leia questioned in curiosity. "Luke, do you have anything for migraines?"

Ben quickly disappeared to the back of the ship and reappeared a minute later with a glass of water and something for the pain. "As if you need to ask, Aunt Leia."

"Thanks, Ben," Leia took the glass of water and meds from him and quickly took them.

"Ben, I want you to run a diagnostics and compare the scans to after the Yuuzhan Vong invaded Coruscant," Luke requested Ben as Leia stood up allowing Ben to sit down in the co-pilots chair. Leia sat back down in the chair behind the pilots seat as Ben went about his task.

Ben quickly performed the scan and compared the scan to after the Yuuzhan Vong army had changed the atmosphere. "It's different, its…" He pulled up another scan report on Coruscant as he looked at Luke with a confused expression. "According to this, the planet's atmosphere is what it was before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded Coruscant."

"How is that possible?" Leia questioned in concern as Luke closed his eyes.

"I don't know," Luke answered honestly as he stretched out his mind seeking out minds down below. There were a lot of Force-sensitive users down below, that much he could sense until he came across two minds he hadn't sensed since he faced against Palpatine and Vader aboard the second Death Star. He sensed surprise and curiosity from Palpatine, even now he could sense the darkness around the man. He quickly pulled back as he sensed Anakin's mind. It didn't feel dark like it did with Vader. His father's mind briefly reacted to Luke's touch as Luke quickly pulled back. Is it possible they slipped back through time in that wormhole? He opened up his eyes. "I want to talk with him before you have a chance to rip his head off."

"Who are you talking about?" Leia questioned in confusion. "Luke, what is going on?"

"I can sense Palpatine planetside as well as our father," Luke answered as shock crossed Leia's face. "Leia, we've slipped back through time."

Palpatine paused as he sensed someone briefly touche his mind causing him to frown. He didn't recognize the presence and most in the galaxy had no clue he was the Sith Lord the council had been searching for. No, this presence already knew who he was, someone who knew what plans he had for his Empire. He needed to have this individual found and dealt with promptly or all his plans would be for nothing. He pressed down on the comlink and spoke into it. "Get me General Skywalker, have him come to my office as soon as possible."

"Yes your excellency," his secretary answered quickly. Somehow he would have to convince young Skywalker these newcomers were dangerous and insane. How to without drawing suspicion to himself from the young man would have to be handled with care.

Palpatine sat back as he waited for his next appointment to arrive, Padme had a new bill to argue and he was meant to be at Senate Hall soon enough to hear what Anakin's wife had to say. Yes, Padme will be Anakin's downfall, he was almost positive of it. He would use Padme in order to get Anakin to join him willingly.
