Coruscant – Jedi Temple – 20 Years After the defeat of Palpatine
Brian Skywalker was walking through the halls of the Jedi Temple with his girlfriend Jillian Piett. They were talking about the upcoming trials for not only himself, but that of his brother Luke and sister Leia which he constantly teased all the time.
"So are you ready for the trials soon?" She asked Brian.
"I think I am. Hopefully with the training that aunt Ahsoka had given me over the years as my master, I should be able to pass them. And I had some training from master Kenobi as well. I just wished that dad had done so as well like he is with Leia and Luke though. I could use some more pointers from him." Brian said with some sadness in his voice.
"Don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll do fine with the trials. I just hope that I can pass them myself. Good thing master Windu is training me." Jillian said with a smile on her face.
Hearing the name of master Windu brought a chill down his back for just like his father, master Windu was very strict on him when he would be taught by him for Saber moves. He did learn a lot from master Windu though, he had to give him credit for that for he would be almost as good as his father had it not been for master Windu. Then Brian asked Jillian a question.
"Hey once we leave here, how about we head over to Dex's for a snack or something?" He asked with a big lopsided grin on his face.
"Love to, but dad is expecting me home for dinner. Mara is coming over to possibly stay with us for a while. Her parents decided to take a vacation just to get away from Coruscant for a while." Jillian said with dread in her voice.
Brian remembered what it was like to be around Jillian's cousin, Mara Jade, and it was not pleasant at times! She was sarcastic, stuck up at times, and loved weapons when she wasn't going through her training as a Jedi as well, and his brother Luke had the hot's for her! He then decided to tell Luke the news about Mara coming to stay with Jillian's parents for a while so he could get some time with their father in getting some pointers for the trials. There was their sister he had to deal with, and hopefully she'll be going out with that guy that she's been seeing lately by the name of Han Solo. He was then brought back from his thoughts by Jillian.
"Hey, you looked like you were spaced out there for a moment. Are you alright?" She asked Brian with a concerned voice.
"Yeah I'm fine. Just doing some thinking, and no smart remarks on that now. I know that look on your face. And I know I have been known to say them as well. Got that from dad." Brian said before laughing a bit.
"But I see more of your mother in you though. I don't think you would look good with blond hair and blue eyes. The brown hair and brown eyes suit you more and you do have some of your father's height." She said while giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"Which is good for the 'activities' that we have when we're along." He said while smiling at her.
She then smacked him on the arm for that which Brian then made a mock hurt look on his face as he rubbed the spot where she had hit him. They just laughed at that as they headed towards their speeders to head home. Brian gave Jillian one last passionate kiss before they left for the day. He headed home to see if his sister was still there so he could tease her some more.
500 Republica – Padme and Anakin's Apartment
Padme was making dinner for her family since the Senate meeting end early, and she wanted to get a head start before the rest of her family came home. She had seen Leia go into her room and knew that she had a date with Han Solo tonight. Padme remembered when before the she and Anakin were first married that they had to hide everything before Anakin had found out that Palpatine was the Sith Lord that everyone was looking for and ended his life before Palpatine had issued Order 66 to kill every Jedi Knight that was still alive during the Clone Wars!
If it hadn't been for Ani and the masters that had went to arrest Palpatine, who was killed in his office while fighting said masters, she hate the thought of what would the galaxy would have been turned into under his regime! She hated the thought that she had helped him get rid of Chancellor Valorum with a No Vote of Confidence so Palpatine could be Chancellor and then who knows what after that! She then heard the door open to let her youngest of the triplets Brian in. She smiled at him as he came into the kitchen to grab a bit of carrot that was in the bowl for the salad that was being made now.
"So how was your training today?" She asked Brian with a smile on her face.
"Same old stuff as usual. I can't wait for the trials to begin so I can finally be a Jedi Knight now." Brian said to his mother.
"Just give it some time sweetie. And I know you're impatient just like your father at times like this. But things will work out for you. Just be patient." She said in a soothing voice.
Brian nodded his head knowing his mother was right. He left the kitchen to wash up a bit before dinner. He then heard his sister in her room and decided to have a little 'fun' with her! He knocked on the door which opened to see Leia standing there with a look on her face knowing that her not so younger brother was standing there.
"What are you doing?" Brian said with a sneaky look on his face.
"None of your business! Now if you don't mind, I have to get ready before I leave tonight." Leia said with a stern voice.
"Aww, getting ready for a date with poor Han now I see. I just don't know what he sees in you since you're stuck up, short, thinks everyone is beneath you, and a spoiled princess just to name a few off the top of my head." Brian said before laughing at Leia.
"I am not stuck up, thinks that everyone is beneath me, a spoiled princess and anything else you can think of! And I don't know what Jillian sees in you with the way that you treat me all the time! I know it can't be for your smarts since you don't have any! Now leave me alone so I can get ready!" Leia screamed at her brother before slamming the door!
"What was all that screaming about? Or do I know already that you've been bothering your sister again." Padme said with a look on her face towards her son.
Brian just grinned a bit before heading into the fresher to wash up before dinner. Padme didn't understand why Brian would pick on Leia so much. She and Sola never did anything like this when they were growing up on Naboo. She just shook her head in disbelief that Brian would pick on Leia so much. She then remembered that Ani would do the same thing when they had first got married, and he still did to this day. Brian must have picked up this trait from Anakin since she had never done this.
She then heard Anakin and Luke coming in now in time for dinner. Luke had gone to get cleaned up himself while his parents talked. He neared the fresher to see his brother coming out of there. Luke saw that Brian had a sneaky look on his face, and he didn't like it!
"What are you planning on now dear brother? Or do I want to know this time." Luke said with regret in his voice.
"Let's just say that the last time we had gone to Tatooine to visit uncle Owen and aunt Beru, I had managed to get ahold of some special Womp Rat juice." Brian said with a devilish smile on his face.
Luke knew automatically what that meant! He then asked the next question that he was sure he was going to dread!
"Let's just say that when she goes into the fresher to spray on some perfume, she's going to smell very nasty once she is done!" Brian said while not trying to laugh at what was going to happen next!
"You know how mom and dad feel about you teasing Leia all the time! Once they find out, you're going to be grounded for a long time! You better not let Leia use that stuff now!" Luke told his brother before Leia gets ahold of the bottle of 'perfume' now.
Brian just shook his head and went to get the bottle, and threw it into the disposal unit. Brian muttered a few curse words at his brother ending with the word 'kriffer' at the end of that. Luke just shook his head as how can one triplet be the way that Brian was. He then grabbed his brother and led him to the dinner table where their parents were at waiting for them.
Brian acknowledged his father while sitting down to get ready to eat dinner now. As they were eating, Leia went to tell her parents that she was on her way out and that she would not be late coming home tonight. After she left, Brian asked Anakin about some training before the trials begin. Anakin told Brian that once he had some free time on his hands, he would be happy to help him out. Brian pointed out that their father managed to get time with Luke and Leia, so why not with him? Anakin reminded Brian about how busy he was with the Council since he was a master, and that he was also teaching new padawans the basics of being a Jedi Knight.
Brian finished what he could of his dinner before muttering that he hears that all the time from his father before heading out the door and heading for his speeder! Padme looked at Luke that he needed to leave the table so she could talk to Anakin. Once Luke was gone, Padme spoke to Anakin.
"Ani, you've been promising Brian for a while about helping him with the trials before they begin. What is going on here?" She wanted to know.
"I don't know Angel. For some reason I'm able to make time for both Luke and Leia, but not for Brian. I have to talk to Ahsoka tomorrow to see if he is even ready for the trials yet. I promise I'll make time for Brian. You have my word on it." Anakin said before he smiled at his wife.
Padme returned the smile, and hopefully things will get better between father and son and soon! Maybe Brian will stop teasing Leia, but that would be asking too much from Brian. Hopefully things won't get any worse than what they are now, but for some reason Padme doubted that very much.
