Hey guys! I got random inspiration last night, so I decided to make this into a two-shot! I hope you guys enjoy!

That night, Hera stayed in the cockpit because it felt the most like home there. When she did go to her room, she found a letter addressed to her on the bed with a meiloorun. She sat down and opened the letter.

Hey, Mom.

I know lately we haven't been able to spend as much time together, and because of that we haven't been able to talk, and I haven't been able to tell you about everything that's going on.

At school, for the past several years, I have been bullied, to a degree. Mainly just really sucky insults, but once it did turn into a full-on brawl. But despite that, I have made some friends, and they help me and enjoy my company. And I know that you've been wanting to see my progress report—it's enclosed in the letter.

About the Jedi school, I've decided (but forgot to tell you) that I'll see what it's like to be a 'true' Jedi for about a year, then if it's what I think it is, I'll come home and train with Ezra. It's just that I've been raised differently…not as a Force-sensitive child, but as a Jedi and their belief system. Also as a person. I've heard stories of how Jedi can't really have emotions or share them with anyone. They might as well make a bunch of Force-sensitive robots, because I won't become one if that's what it takes. It's not right. I can't just leave you, my family, my home and not talk or think about it ever again! You've been through a lot, and I have too. I can't do that to you.

If the Jedi are who they claim to be, then I'm coming back home. To you. To Ezra, Sabine, Mira and Chopper. And that's how it's going to be.

I love you, Mom. Here's a meiloorun for the ride home.

-Jacen

Hera folded the letter up with trembling hands, realizing the wetness on her cheeks. She looked inside the envelope for Jacen's report card and looked at it. It showed straight A's. "I knew you could do it," she said aloud as she saw the math grade, which was the highest. He had always had trouble with math, but, she told him, that with meditation and hard work, he could figure it out. And he did.

And she was proud.

Especially that he was able to accomplish this with distractions of bullies at school that she never knew about. She knew he was picked on for at least a month, but she never knew it was this much to this extent.

Hera smiled and held the letter to her heart. This next year would be no different from any other.

Because Jacen will always be with her.

And so would Kanan.

I know! I just wanted to get that out. I might continue with it if I get more inspiration, but I promise nothing.
