The minutes passed by quickly as Luminara and Barriss talked. Before they knew it Lumiya(Luminara and Barriss's Mom) was standing in the doorway. "Hey everyone's back from working in the mines."

The two Jedi looked up. "Okay we'll be out in a second." Barriss said.

Lumiya nodded. "Okay I'll tell them." She left.

Luminara stood and helped her padawan up as well. Barriss led the way to the other room in which they were in previously.

In this room was Lumiya, along with four new people. The oldest was a man maybe a little older than Lumiya. His skin was a shade lighter yellow than Barriss's. He had shaggy black hair and what looked like an attempt to grow facial hair. He had blue eyes like everyone else in the room and diamond shaped tattoos in a pattern on his forehead. This was Barren.

Next in line was another man who was much younger, maybe a year or two older than Luminara. He had shoulder length black hair and a triangular face, much like Luminara's. His eyes were also the same shade as hers. He had skin that was almost identical in shading to Luminara's. His tattoos were arranged down the right side of his face. This was Cirrus.

Then there were two girls, both looked to be only a little older than Barriss. They looked identical to each other, which is to be expected judging by the fact that they were identical twins. Both had skin that was similar in tone to Barriss's. Their eyes were a bit darker than Barriss's, and their hair was about mid-back in length and also black. The only difference in the two was their tattoos. On Kenya the tattoos were much like Barriss's tattoos but the bridge of her nose wasn't tattooed. Leyte's were diamond shapes going along her jaw line.

As soon as Luminara and Barriss stepped into the room huge smiles broke out on their faces as they met up with the people of their pasts. Barriss went up to the twins, leyte and Kenya, and started talking to them about all of her past adventures. Luminara went up to the only one she recognized other than Lumiya. Cirrus.

"Cirrus!" She grinned and hugged her brother.

"Hey 'Ara!" He laughed and looked at her. "Wow, you've grown…"

"Yeah, so have you. Last time I saw you, you were four feet tall, now what are you six foot?" She laughed.

"Six foot seven inches." He boasted.

"Wow, I like your tattoos, they look good."

"Thanks, likewise with yours."

Luminara looked around the room. "So where's dad?"

Cirrus's expression changed. "You didn't know…?"

"Know what?"

"Dad died almost nineteen years ago 'Ara…"

Luminara's jaw fell open. "What?"

"I thought you knew…"

Luminara shook her head. "No… no I didn't know that…" She let out a breath and sat down on the couch putting a hand to her head. "W-why didn't somebody tell me…?"

Cirrus sat down next to her and put a hand on her back. "We sent a letter, I thought you had gotten it."

Luminara put her hands out in a gesture of confusion. "I don't know if I got the letter or not! Force, I would have been what, eight?" She closed her eyes trying to control her emotions.

Cirrus sighed. "I'm sorry…"

Luminara shook her head and took a deep breath. "It's uh… it's not your fault… it's too late to do anything about it anyway…"

"Do want anything? Like a tissue or something?"

"No I'm fine..."

"Okay…"

Luminara sighed as her thoughts turned inward. Her father had died, almost twenty years ago and she didn't even realize it until that moment. That made her feel really guilty. She hadn't honored her father's death in the traditional way that she had thought she would. She did absolutely nothing. Not a thing.

She was brought out of her thoughts by an unfamiliar voice and the presence of an outstretched hand before her. She looked up at the man called Barren and forced a smile onto her face.

"Hello, I'm Barren Offee." He said kindly.

Luminara shook his hand. "I'm Luminara Unduli. Your daughter's master."

"And also her older sister, and therefore also my step-daughter." He smiled.

She nodded. "I guess so."

"This is probably quite a bit to take in isn't it?"

Luminara half laughed. "Yeah… maybe a little…"

"Here, I'll help you out some. Leyte, Kenya, can you come here for a moment?"

The two girls walked over in sync. They seemed to do everything that way, Luminara noted. "Yeah?"

"Why don't you introduce yourselves to your older sister?"

Kenya spoke. "Okay." She smiled and turned to Luminara. "Hi, I'm Kenya Offee."

"And I'm Leyte Offee." Leyte added.

Luminara blinked. They even sounded the same… "I'm Luminara Unduli. It's nice to meet you both." She smiled.

They nodded. Both of them at the same time, and left. Barriss walked up a few moments later. "This is great!"

Luminara smiled. "Yes it is, although the twins kind of scare me… are you sure they aren't droids?"

Barriss laughed. "Yeah I'm sure."

Lumiya walked up to the two. "It's great to see you two again, especially after so long. So how long are you two going to be staying?"

Both of them shrugged. "We don't know, maybe a week or so." Luminara said.

"Okay, sounds good. You two just get yourselves acquainted with the rest of the group and I'll start on dinner, okay?"

Barriss nodded. "Okay."

"Do you want any help with dinner, mom?" Luminara offered.

"Only if you want to."

"Okay, I'll help with dinner." Luminara stood up from the couch and followed the older woman into the kitchen. What she thought was only going to be a simple conversation with her mother was actually going to be one of the worst moments of Luminara's life.
