Coruscant

Anakin and Ahsoka both had landed upon Coruscant in the midday hours. The planet was just as they'd remembered it for the most part with the glorious amber rays and bustling sky lanes of the capital taking place. To say they were overwhelmed with emotion would be an understatement as both the Jedi in the ship saw the five spires of the once grand temple overlook their spot on the landing bay. As they descended the docking bay Anakin told Ahsoka were they would be staying at least for the first because the following day around the afternoon they would be departing with Leia and Luke to attend the peace sanctions between the republic and empire.

Anakin was pleased to be able to spend time with his beloved children and with Ahsoka nearby things were sure to be interesting to for the Skywalker clan, it was times like these were he missed his beloved Angel so much. Padme would be so proud of our kids he thought to himself. With his head held high Anakin Skywalker donned a cloak along with his padawan to meet his son. He stretched out his senses and noticed Luke to be at the sure spot Master Jinn said - The Jedi Temple. He nodded to Ahsoka and the two headed out to find the young boy.

...

Luke Skywalker had been exploring the Jedi Temple for a couple days now trying to uncover anything and everything he could pertaining the past glory of the order. He had to occupy his time somehow until his dad and Ahsoka came and he couldn't think of a much better way to do so. As he went into the building he walked through the large entrance and headed towards the halls of healing. He and found some datapads, artifacts as well as other Lightsabers and trinkets scattered around the dusty place and while he was there he decided to clean up a few rooms himself. In the halls of healing Luke had found some healing records and force techniques that were documented in old holos on the walls, he was surprised such secrets were still alive. He looked briefly at the records and saw the names of Jedi that were on the mend during the war it wasn't surprising that Master Vokara Che had spent alot of time aiding Obi Wan Kenobi, Ahoska Tano and the Hero with No Fear himself - his father Anakin Skywalker. It seemed that he loved to go to the healers just as much as his Dad by the records kept from the healing Jedi. Anakin wasnt the best of patients. He also saw the names of a few other Jedi healers, Barriss Offee was among the names of practicing Jedi.

After looking in the halls of healing Luke headed towards a large white room. It was darkly lit and he decided to have artoo help him shed some light as he brought him along for this day too. Artoo beeped at the request and quickly found a plug into the system and surprisingly had the power in the room back up after a few clicks and spins of his extension cable. Artoo beeped happily towards Luke telling him that he had been to this room a few times watching someone he would be sure to know more than one occasion. Luke looked at the droid puzzled then looked around the room noticing that he was in none other than the temple sparring quarters. Luke was shocked. Here was a room that held many hours of grinding ,pounding and exhilarating battles between masters and padawans. He thought about Yoda and the duels that he had conducted with younglings and supervised and Luke wondered what his life growing up in the temple could have really been like especially with the training of a Master with him full time as a Padawan from a young age. Luke shook from his musing as Artoo whirled around and beeped to him indicating a set of orbs that had been on a shelf nearby. Luke looked over and had a impish gleam in his eye as he knew what remotes those were s he used the force to bring one over to him he noticed the settings on these were modified more than the levels he was used too.

Artoo beeped at Luke for his attention as he voiced his thoughts to the droid.

" Yeah Artoo, I practiced with droids before but these settings are different."

Artoo beeped again..

" You know who tampered with these remotes don't you? .."

The droid whistled happily then commenced to play a hologram of a young padawan Skywalker sitting at his room tampering with the remotes. Anakin was tall, lean and he had blonde hair like Luke's but was a bit darker at this point. His eyes lot up excitedly as he began working on the sets of remotes. His padawan braid constantly being removed as it was pushing in his intent and determined face.

" All I need to do is recalibrate the sensors to have heightened awareness and program the droid to mimic Djem So routine... this time though I want the setting faster.. "

Artoo whistled. " I know Artoo Obi Wan doesn't think I'm ready to go this far yet but I gotta try I'm already able to stalemate him in a duel now." Artoo beeped suspiciously.

" Maybe but the last time we practiced this that was a fluke with ... I got hit once with the blaster bolts cause I was .. distracted."

Artoo whistled again teasingly." Ok Ok buddy I got hit twice in the shoulder... I used two remotes at the same time too and ...well Artoo you didn't have to go there but it's not everyday I hear that the senator of Naboo is going to give a speech on Coruscant. I can't believe Padme is coming back. "

A knock on the door sounded off " Anakin are you in there?...Padawan it's time for your meditation session then you have a class on galactic relations.. Young one I know your in there"

Anakin groaned. " Yes Master I'm coming.." he turned to Artoo " Buddy looks like I'll be seeing you later then" He left after gently patting the done head of the Artoo unit and opened the door to his room.

In the distance Obi Wan could be heard speaking to Anakin "If you spent more time with your studies and less time with machinery you would do so much better in your diplomacy, it will prove necessary as we have a mission to Ansion coming up soon."

" When do we leave ? "

" In two days time.. so pay attention in Master Gallia' s class please and Padawan ... No jokes today hmm"

" Yes Master " Anakin smiled thinly.

Luke smiled at the ending of the recording. He had heard his mother's name and was flooded with emotions of how his parents must have grown close for even with the holo Luke could tell how much his father adored her. Artoo beeped at Luke once more. He commenced to play a second recording from his memory banks. He saw Anakin with the remote successfully deflected both orbs at lighting speed and he didn't even look like his was breaking a form was precise and he saw some of the same movements he pulled in his duel had with him as Vader. In the video he also saw some Jedi watch from the background, some where stopping their training sequences to take a peek at the chosen one show his skills. Obi Wan came as well as was smiling proudly and stroking his brown beard; although Anakin couldn't tell he as turned to the task at hand. Master Ki-Adi Mundi could be seen coming over to Kenobi and whispered to him praise for how well he taught the boy to which Obi Wan wan replied that Anakin held marvelous commitment and dedication to the blade.

Luke sat up as the second recording ended and commenced taking the remote and felt compellrd to give it a try. He put the setting on form 5 and started at the third level and made sure the remote knew to work it's way up. He was ready to test his skills to the maximum if he had his father to go stood in starting position as Artoo sat in the corner ready to see what the Skywalker offspring would do.

...

Anakin and Ahsoka walked up the temple stairs and walked into the grand hall. As they both came in a flood of memories bombarded them of the good times they had shared as master and apprentice. There respective days in the temple as uoinglings also came up as they walked into the halls. The instruction rooms, gardens and dormitories brought much joy to the two as they recalled sparring, force techniques and meditation sessions together as well as the times they goofed off around the temple. Anakin walked by one practice room and recounted the time Ahsoka was learning up to perform a mind trick which came in handy at her first time to rescue the chairman of Pantoras daughter aboard a separatist ship. He told her about the recovery story he had to make up to get the council off her scent. Ahsoka started to feel the force shift in some areas as Anakin felt like he we in near tears as. he passed the creche and corridors of the building. He remembered the younglings slain and looked at his hands in contempt as Ahsoka reached out to send calming waves to him. He looked back at her in appreciation.

Ahsoka changed ths subject as they went by these rooms, and Anakin was greatful for the distraction. Surprisingly she told him about the time that she had first heard about him in the creche as a youngling. She was around seven years of age and was learning how to hold a lightsaber as a initiate when she saw a thirteen year old padawan walking with two others a young girl and boy in the temple and they were heading to the practice rooms to spar. Ahsoka had heard a child mention that was the infamous chosen one of the temple and thought to go see who it was herself. She saw him dueling a peer and thought that he held a very passionate and distinct style from other Jedi she had seen. Anakin was surprised that she had seen him that young, he hadn't remembered seeing her around before. There were some thing they could do to start over.

As they came into the archives he reminded Ahsoka of the holocron heist and how they had togethe defeated Cad Bane and his plot. They had quite an adventure with that too going from about three different planets to rescue younglings. Mace and Obi Wan of course had their own story to tell of the account with the bounty hunter. The two managed to get further into the halls when they felt a presence of a young Skywalker boy.

Anakin smiled " you sense him too don't you ? "

" Yep, and I know just exactly where he is " Ahsoka smiled back.

...

Luke was in the heat of a barrage of bolts coming at him. He swung his lightsaber left, right, down, cross as he deflected each incoming attack. His breath quickened as he wasn't used to the levels that were on this remote. There were 10 stages programmed and he was only on level 4. He successfully passed into level 5 a few minutes later, he was wearing tired but he was impressed with himself.

At the side of the doors two figures approached as they were watching Luke deflect the bolts. Anakin was surprised that those particular remotes had been left after all this time. He was even more take aback at the level of power, stamina, and focus Luke generated. His heart swelled as Ahsoka looked to him and commented on his sons progress.

" Skyguy Junior seems to be doing alright. The levels he's doing are for Senior padawans of around 23 years of age typically. "

" I know I modified them snips" Anakin smiled.

" Well that explains it ... I hope though ... then that means"

" They are going to be stronger than normal and as strong as my son is now I don't think he can take the next few levels"

Just as the settings bumped up to stage 6, a tremor in the force sounded. Luke was so busy with the remote that he hadn't seen the extra openings that came out for more blaster fire. At once Anakin grabbed his saber and Ahsoka hers and as soon as the blaster fire sounded off the trio deflected the cross fire with ease. Anakin to the left, Ahsoka to the right and Luke in the middle. As the training sequence came up more levels the three handled the turrets and took them out. Anakin finally as stage 9 came shut it off sensing how tired his son already was and Ahsoka was now getting.

" Hey.. dad..we almost got ...to...the ...end." Luke heavily panted.

" Yeah we did but your not there yet son... I want you to know how proud of you I am at your hard work first. You did great considering that remote was modified by yours truly at that.." Anakin smirked. " Now secondly ... what the kriff where you thinking .. how could you go on that setting had me and Ahsoka not been here you could have been hit or worse Luke Skywalker!?" Anakin said angrily.

Luke held his head down at the sudden shift in his father's tone. Ahsoka looked at her Master and then his son and was torn; on a level Anakin was right .. she saw it. Then she felt bad for Luke because he was trying to prove himself and his skill to the Skywalker name.

" I'm sorry father.. I was trying to test my skill set with the remotes and I was doing good up until that last set of stages" Luke spoke softly. Anakin understood and embraced his son.

" Its fine Luke .. I'm happy to see you again it's been a while."

Ahsoka had cleared her throat after a minute " Oh yeah you can meet Ahsoka in person..come here snips"

" Nice to meet you Skyguy junior" Anakin rolls his shaking Ahsokas hand Luke spoke up.

" What's with the names? "

" We inherited them on Christophsis after I saved your dad's life.. I pulled down a wall over head destroying droids around him"

" You could've killed me"

" But I didn't.. there was a hole in the middle. Luke i called him Skyguy and he named me snips"

" For her snippy mouth .. which hasn't stopped since then I see" Ahsoka rolled her eyes.

Luke was amazed at the closeness between them and in a way wished he had that too with his father but he was glad to join the team and become one of the fold. This trip he would get to know the team better and in a way get to know who his father was too being around Ahsoka changed him and he could feel the difference imminently.

Our of the corner of their discussion Artoo came roaming over causing Anakin to look excited.

" Artoo is that you buddy... I missed you"

Artoo came over joyfully but then beeped at Anakin and hit his leg. " Ouch.. hey what's that.."

Artoo whistled angrily as if to say you know...

" I'm sorry I left you on Mustafar. I didn't mean it "

Artoo whirled around and beeped back and both laughed. Ahsoka and Luke looked over at the two as the friends reunited.

" Buddy where's Threepio? "

Artoo whistled. Luke spoke up too " He's with Leia helping in the senate"

Anakin looked up at the droid " Some things never change I guess" he muttered.

Luke looked puzzled and Ahsoka clued him in " Threepio helped your mom in the Senate while R2 helped us Jedi on missions"

" He originally was your mom's droid and I made 3PO but we exchanged droids as gifts to one another" Anakin chimed in. Artoo beeped happily.

" So your royalty Artoo, you worked for a queen ? Wow and you made 3PO dad? "

"Yes I did when I was 9 years old to help out... my mom.. your grandmother" Anakin swallowed after all these years it was difficult to talk about Shmi Skywalker. He loved her dearly.

Sensing the deep emotion from his father he let the topic go and Luke looked at his chrono surprised ,it was almost dark at 1900. "Well it's getting late; why don't we head back out to eat and you both come over to my apartment" Luke suggested.

Ahsoka looked at Anakin who was hesitant to put his son out with them. However Luke insisted saying he wanted the two to stay and it was only one night as they would leave tommorow for Corellia.

" If Ahsoka wants to we will .. " She nodded to Anakin. " Well that answers that " Luke said. As the trio and Artoo left, Anakin pulled his kid into a headlock ruffling his hair " Luke make sure the next time you play with one of my old training remotes you tell me first or better yet wait til I'm there."

Luke chuckled. "Well Artoo did who me clips of you back in the day old man .. you were quite the hotshot then.."

Ahsoka snorted " Oh Luke you have no idea "

" Hey .. I'm standing right here "

" We know Skyguy "

" And apparently you were just as reckless father .. I saw those healer records and you came up the as the second most admitted patient ..."

Anakin was shocked he found out .." Who was the first son?" he asked already knowing the answer.

" Surprisingly Obi Wan"

" Doesn't surprise me, gotta love the old man.. He had trouble keeping up with my escapades"
