Anakin slept the whole trip back and now, as they landed the ship, he felt a surge of happiness flow through him. As he stepped off the ramp onto solid ground, C3PO came rushing up to him. "Master Anakin, Master Anakin. Are you all right? What happened to your eye? And your arm?" he asked with concern. Anakin smiled. "Slow down Threepio. I'm fine. Don't worry." He turned to Luke. "If you don't mind, Uncle Luke, I'd like to clean up and rest. I'll see you at dinner."
"That's fine, Anakin. You go on," he said, smiling. "And Anakin. It's good to have you back."



At dinner that night, Anakin enjoyed himself more than he ever had before. His parents were here, he was surrounded by friends, and he had met his grandfather. It had been a long week. He looked around him, smiling. 'It sure is good to be home,' he thought. 'It's good to be home.'
