Chapter 1: The Child on Tatooine...
It was Empire Day and one of the few days that Luke got to see all the ships and Cruisers. One of the few days Luke could do anything he wanted... but what was more awesome was that it was his life day and he was one of the few ever to have his birthday right on Empire Day.
The suns were shining bright and eight year old Luke Skywalker was excited. There was going to be a parade and it was rumored that Darth Vader might even be there! That man protected everyone from the Rebellion and others who were terrorists.
For his last birthday Uncle Owen bought him an Imperial Uniform and he kept it in pristine condition. Even his school uniform, his uncle got them, because he realized that his nephew dreamed of being in the military; to honor his father, as he had been told that he was in the GAR in the time of the Republic as a general.
During his free time with his best friend; Biggs, shared his love for the Empire. Never got in trouble was always following what the teachers said.
"Just the teacher's pet" Deeks the school bully said.
"I can't believe that Darth Vader is going to be here!" Luke exclaimed and kicked his legs under the table and smiled. His aunt and uncle shared a look, but been young as he was he didn't understand it.
"Luke..." Aunt Beru said her voice soft and gentle.
"Yes Aunt Beru?" Luke said and looked at her putting down the fork he held.
"Owen and I decided to let you go to Imperial School on Coruscant... some Upper Class Folks are giving you a scholarship. They saw your talent the other day and confronted us. They will come here in half an hour and they want to become your parents... Owen and I decided to say yes. Luke you'll get to live your dreams." Beru smiled and looked down at her nephew who sat in shock.
"What?!" he whispered.
"You heard her." Owen said.
Turns out all the meetings that they had to leave him with the Darklighters, it was with the Thompson family as he was shown holo- pics of his new parents.
Luke raced to his room and slid down the wall when he arrived, Beru told him to never look back, to remember that he was special and that he would succeed while they couldn't because their time was up.
It didn't help that the Empire had come and was taken all the orphans from the Clone Wars to bring to proper homes.
-Line Break-
Sasha and Kyle Thompson sat across from each other in there speeder. They had come here for a vacation. But mostly just to tan. From Coruscant they didn't get much sun, so they traveled to one of the sunniest planets in the galaxy. Seen many sights and decided that this was the perfect place to pick a child to raise and love... But then they went to see the races in Beggars Cannon. And the introducers introduced all the racers and they were captivated by the young Luke Skywalker. He just looked like Kyle and when Kyle looked at the boy he saw his wife in him. It was most likely the will of the Force.
Than hardly anyone knew what that was anymore, and it didn't help that Luke had no idea what it was. But the Force looked out for its only grandchild and didn't want any harm to come to Luke. After what Obi- Wan did to his child Anakin Skywalker...
Knocking on the homestead door the young couple waited until the door opened. Another couple stood opposite them, and the little boy was their too, his eyes wide and full of excitement.
Luke asked questions about them and his new home, Beru and Owen left them to get to know each other, and when it was time to leave Luke looked solemn but was pretending to be bright when he said: "See you later Aunt Beru... Uncle Owen!" Luke exclaimed.
Hyper Space, was cold and when they noticed Luke wasn't used to space they covered him in blankets while the adoption ceremonial man that had been with them all week and was Kyles' older brother, was hovering and writing with a pen on their report to make the boy, theirs officially.

Four Years later...
Luke stared at his ceiling and smiled as his parents came in and said goodnight, they had just came back from his academy flight test. In a few days he would have the score and then get a holo-mail saying if he made the academy's standards or not.
"Love you." he whispered.
"We do too Luke. Our little angel; you make us proud and the Empire will be honored to have you in the Academy." Kyle smiled and turned off the light.
Darth Vader sat in his chamber, his mind was full of hatred, meditating on the choices he made to get him in this spot, and that powered his rage.
He was meditating when a bright force presence flared to life. Joy, excitement love and devotion... but was gone again before he could grasp it.
He stood up and tapped to open the door, and his mask came down and artificial breathing filled the quiet room.
Holding out his arm to communicate with Bridge Darth Vader spoke.
"Admiral...Set course for Coruscant."
"Yes my Lord..."
