"We're coming up on it now."

The pilot, 30 year old Derrick Lars, leaned back in his seat as he prepared to switch off the autopilot and land on the property of what was once known as the Lars farm.

When he was 18, Derrick had gone off to Mos Eisley and, after having a brief encounter with the Rebellion, he suddenly come back after hearing about the murder of his dear parents from Luke. Of course, it had been years since his parents died, so he figured it was time to re-face Tatooine. From Derrick's point of view, Tatooine was the perfect place to recover and come to terms with the fact that he had been kidnapped and tortured simply for being related to Anakin Skywalker. It had been a painful experience and had left him wondering if he was truly capable of living simply or if he had much to learn about himself.

From what Derrick understood through email messages he often sent back to friends who still lived on his home planet friend, Aaden Calrissian, who took after his father, the famous Lando Calrissian, had quickly gone about setting up a democratic system of government on Tatooine under his mother's tutelage. News of Jabba's death would soon fill the planet and order would be needed quickly. Aaden was probably hanging out in Mos Eisley and would be grateful for his arrival.

The offices were to be set up in Mos Eisley and, since it was reasonably close, Derrick had just decided to live at the Lars farm rather than in the crowded hovels. Besides, the negotiation and people skills he had learned would come in handy with the Tusken Raiders that he had heard about. Once things in Mos Eisley were settled, Derrick planned to marry Amythest and have a family with her.

A hand laid down on his shoulder, suddenly pulling Derrick out of his thoughts, "Hi, sweetie," a gentle voice said.

Derrick smiled, watching as his lady of five years, 23 year old Amythest Jinn, who was known as Amy, come up and sit in the co-pilot seat. She was dressed in combat pants and a camouflage shirt with her long blonde hair done up in a braided bun. She turned in her chair and smiled at Derrick. She had been reluctant to leave the Rebellion, but she knew that her place was with her beloved.

"From up here, it looks breathtaking," Amy commented, as she watched the ship descend towards the desert-like planet that was her husband's childhood home. "Where is the homestead from our landing point, Derrick?"

Derrick smiled, as the ship touched the ground, "It's actually a very short walk from here to our new home," he said, shutting the ship's control's off.

Taking each other's hand, Derrick and Amythest rose from the seats and in silence, walked through the ship towards the exit door. Then, looking at each other affectionately, they opened the ship's exit door.

A clear blue sky, a bright sun, and endless sand greeted them as they walked down the ramp, on to their new home. In the nearby distance, the abandoned home of the late Owen and Beru Lars could be seen.

Trying not to think about how his parents had died, only dwelling on the good memories he had as a child, Derrick wrapped an arm around Amy and pulled her close to him. Amy sighed deeply and smiled as she placed a hand on her husband's shirt.

"Welcome home, Derrick," Amy said. "I know you have missed this place."

Derrick smiled, as he continued to hold his wife close, "It's good to be home again," he replied cheerfully.
