Luke watch as Ben open his birthday present. His face went up in excitement. "Wow, a hover board! This is awesome Uncle Luke!"
Eight year old Ben ran up to Luke and gave him a hug.
"Ok kid, check out what I got you." Han said as he handed Ben a box.
Ben opened it. It was a giant super soaker water gun.
"Your mom said you were too young for a blaster. I guess this will have to do for now." Han smiled.
Ben didn't care he had a face of delight. Leia frown at Han. "What?" Han asked as he kissed her on the cheek. "You said no blasters."
Leia smiled. "You got it for him if he makes a mess you're cleaning it up. We'll see who's smiling then."
Chewie brought out a cake with eight candles. Everyone sung happy birthday.
Leia went over to Luke. "Luke somethings going on what is it?" Leia asked.
"I'm really nervous. I'm going to ask Larah to marry me. I want to do it right not the way Han did it."
Leia half frown half smiled when she thought of it.
"Luke it can be worse than how Han did it and she'll still say yes. It's been over a year and this is like the first time I haven't seen you with her. Ever since you two met you've been inseparable. Where is she by the way?"
"At the academy working on her lightsaber. You would think a mechanic like her would be faster at that sort of thing."
Leia smiled "Just tell me when I can tell Ben he'll be the flower boy." Leia and Luke laugh.
"He would never forgive you." Luke smiled.
As Luke was leaving he asked Ben if he had been practicing with the force. He said yes as he made a piece of cake float towards him. The Cake hit Ben in the face and pieces of it went everywhere. Everyone laugh.
"Ben you had enough cake for today," Leia said.
"When you come to the academy I'll teach you how to do it better" Luke smiled.
Leia gave Luke a hug. "Don't worry about it Luke. She probably has the whole wedding planned out already. She probably brought the dress the day she met you."
Luke go into his xwing and flew back to the academy. When he arrived he walked passed the dorms and walked into his house. "Larah," He called as he entered. A woman with brown hair down came to the door. She was very pretty with brown hair and sparkling eyes. She and Luke kissed. "Lightsaber is almost done should be done tomorrow I'm just too sleepy right now."
"While I hope you stay awake a bit longer I've got something important to tell you." Luke said as they sat on the couch.
"Larah, I prepared a whole dumb speech for this. But I'm just going to follow Lando's advice."
"What advice," Larah asked.
"I told Lando how when I was going to ask you to married me I was going to do everything perfectly. He said just forget the speech, and say will you marry me." Luke pulled a paper out of his coat. "This is not how I planned on doing this but will you?" Luke's face turned red.
Larah laughed making Luke scared. "Hell yes! I thought you would never ask."
They embraced each other and kissed.
This is the beginning of what I think happened between 6 and 7. Let me know what you think part two will coming soon. And yes Larah is going to be Rey's mother.
