I'm an absolute Star Wars nut so this stuff is pretty easy for me to slap down. That also means that you get a lot of 'my's where 'by's are suppost to be. So yeah, common sense should take over on those. Umm...yeah, just enjoy!


Mara Jade Skywalker stepped out of the Jade Shadow and into the sunlight. One hand on her swelling stomach and the other on her forehead to shade her eyes, she hurried forward.

"Hurry up, Mom!" Mara laughed out loud.

"I'm trying, Ben! I'm trying!" She waddled towards the water, and her firstborn with glee. Ben jumped into the waves with a 'yippy' and disappeared under the water for a moment, then was back up and yelling. Mara finally reached the water and walked in, being splashed by her son, and splashing him back. Her foot suddenly slipped on a mossy stone and fell backwards into the water, laughing. Ben fell down next to her, splashing water up on the shore.

Luke Skywalker laughed to himself as he leaned against a nearby tree and watched his wife and son play. He let his gaze leave his family long enough to look out over the lake. They were on the planet Naboo in the Lake Country. It was beautiful here. The perfect place to raise a family, Luke thought. He could tell Mara felt so too.

Luke had recently learned that his mother's family had owned one of the Lake houses so the Skywalker family had come to find it. They had talked to Queen Viinae the day before, and she said she would have her advisors look into which house it was and get back to them. She'd told them to take one of the islands for the time being and relax.

"Hey, Skywalker!" Luke glanced back at his wife. "Come on in, the splashing is great!" Luke grinned and took a running start towards the water, shedding his outer robe on his way.

"Yeee-Haw!" He yelled and dived in.

"Luke!" Mara laughed, trying to stand up again. Luke grinned as he popped back to the surface. He swam over quickly and helped up his wife. Ben stood up as well, then purposefully slipped and fell back down. Luke laughed and hauled the boy back to his feet, and then the Skywalker's all lay out on the sand. Ben pointed out shapes in the clouds, while Mara curled up as best she could next to Luke.

"How are you doing?" He asked softly. She smiled.

"Just fine, Skywalker." She turned her head at the sound of a bird's call. "A Chikkap." She said softly. "I thought they were only on Corellia." Luke grinned.

"Naboo sure is full of surprises isn't it?" Mara nodded as Ben jumped up and started off through the brush. "Ben, don't wander too far!"

"I won't!" A sleek boat appeared on the horizon not long after the boy disappeared. He reappeared not but a second later. "Who's that?" Luke stood and helped Mara to her feet.

"I don't know." He stretched out his senses in the force, reaching towards the boat. " Its-"

"-the Queen." Mara finished for him. Luke grabbed his robe and pulled it on just as the Queen's vessel reached the shoreline. "Hello your Majesty." Mara greeted her. Queen Viinae smiled.

"Have you been enjoying your island?" She asked with the slightest hint of a smile. Mara nodded and Luke answered.

"Yes, very much so. Have you found anything?" The Queen nodded to one of her handmaidens who stepped forward with a slip of paper.

"Padme Amidala – Owner of the Naberrie Summer Home." The woman read from it. She handed the paper to Luke, who scanned it then looked up at the Queen.

"Its just north of here." Mara stepped forward and linked arms with him.

"Lets go."
