The morning sun has risen high in the Tatooine sky. Ben Kenobi has left the Lars homestead early before sunrise. Beau Lars has woken to do the daily chores, a job Owen would do but since the attack Owen has been slow at physcial activities. Luke growing tall, he stands about a hip and a half on his uncle. He has alot of energy and always has alot of questions, like his father. Luke walks into the kitchen anfd tugs on his aunts dust dried shirt.
Luke: "Aunty Beau who was that man at the window last night?"
Frightened by this comment, she tries to shush Luke from speaking too loudly so he doesnt wake Owen. Beau brings Luke outside into the hot desert sand and places a finger over his mouth and he starts smiling. Beau laughs back as Luke runs to meet his friends a few feet away. Beau knows he saw Ben standing outside last night. Owen has walked into the kitchen rubbing his head to tend to the warm heat that covers the planet. Beau walks in with an embaressed look on her face and sits down with Owen at a table.
Owen: "Oh Beau...who WAS that man at window last night? I heard Luke ask you before I came in. I mean I didnt see anyone or I would have taken arms. I'm surprised that you didnt wake me. You don;t know what crazy people are out there looking for Luke or even us. You should be careful Beau, I care for you. Your my wife."
Beau: "Well I see your feeling better Owen. Now help me with these chores. I would ask Luke but I promised he could play with his friends today. And I didn't see anyone outside last night, maybe Luke had a bad dream Owen, he's only a kid you know."
Owen: "Well I guess your right. Some night bat or something casting a shadow. Luke is foolish, and only a kid. But maybe Beau. Maybe you could tell me what this is. I went to check on Luke this morning and found this on the floor under his bed."
Owen Lars unravels a small piece of cloth he had tucked in his jacket. It is a lightsaber. He looks very unpleased with Beau and leaves the lightsaber on the table and walks away. Beau gathers herself from crying and picks it up. She runs to Owen in their bedroom as Luke runs inside screaming very loudly. Owen grabs a blaster rifle from under the bed and grabs Luke. Luke is crying and can barely talk.
Luke: "Uncle Owen! Uncle Owen! These two people in why...why...white just tok one of my friends. They went into his house and...and...and..."
Owen has heard enough and runs outside. Two stormtroopers are checking door to door for something and shotting anyone they see fit. Owens nieghbor has been injured, Owen takes his rifle and blasts a stormtrooper. The laser gathers attention from the other one as a battle ensues from the Lars Homestead and this renegade stormtrooper. Owen misses a few times and the stormtrooper hits Owen in the shoulder! He drops his rifle and falls to the ground. The stormtrooper jogs to Owen and gets ready to stun him with his gun. All of a sudden a laser blast from inside the home hits the stormtrooper in the chest. He falls down, dead from the shot. Owen gathers himself and crawls to Luke who is holding the rifle.
Owen: "Tha...Thanks. Luke I told you never to grab Uncle Owens rifle though. You know that. Now hurry up inside and talk to Aunty Beau for me, tell her I'm hurt. Go on."
Luke tells Beau what happened and she grabs some bandages and cares for Owen. The neighbors are in shock as two stormtroopers lay in the sand and Owen is hurt. The begin to cheer loudly and run to the Lars Homestead. Seeveral larger men grab Owen and raise him on their shoulders, being careful not to touch his injured shoulder.
Delles Mandel: "Hooray for Owen Lars! HOORAY! I never though you would have it in you to fire one of those things Owen. I thought you were againest confrentation."
Owen: "Well Delles, a man has got to protect his family. Actually I just bought it from the merchants yesterday. Never thought I would ever use it though, oh and Luke. Nice shot."
Beau: "Now Owen, what do you think of Luke staying away from guns now? I say he has it in his blood."
Luke jumps into Beau's arms as she kisses him on the chek and she looks at Owen and Owen smirks at her, knowing that she is right. The celebration went well into the night and Owen remained a hero for standing up againest the Imperials Stormtroopers. Beau sends Luke to bed and turns off the light, in a soft whisper she says goodnight.
Luke: Aunt Beau?
Beau: Yes Luke?
Luke: "Aunty Beau the man outside last night he was dressed in black and he kept saying my name. He wasnt outside, but, when I dreamed he would talk to me. He kept saying me name..."
Just then Luke falls asleep as Beau walks out of his room and goes to Owen who is resting in their bed. She blows out the light as the room falls into darkness.
