Author's Note: I thought since I won't be able to update at all tomorrow because of work, then going to the Memphis-Phoenix basketball game (GO SUNS!), and then studying for my Spanish final on Monday, I decided to post once again before I head off to work. Oh! I was thinking about what I was going to do once my stories are complete….and guess what! I thought of two new ideas. YAYAYAYA! So enjoy and review, review, review!

Chapter Twenty Four:

As Anakin and Padmé made their way towards the Lars homestead, Anakin felt a sense of urgency wash over him. He suddenly accelerated the speeder that he and Padmé were in.

"What is it Ani?" she asked still scared.

"Something's wrong."

Anakin's worst fears came true as they approached the homestead. The homestead had been set on fire and lying among the burning rubble was two dead bodies. When Padmé saw that she gasped loudly.

"Is that Luke?" she asked on the verge of tears.

Anakin shook his head no. "Its Owen and Beru," he said looking off into space. Padmé knew he was searching the Force. "Luke's still alive. And so is Alyssa."

"Who is Alyssa?"

"Owen and Beru's 10 year old daughter. Come on we got to hurry."

"Whose the chick with Anakin?" Han asked Obi-Wan. Anakin and Padmé were making their way towards the small group.

"His wife, Padmé."

"Whoa. He's married?"

"How do you think Luke was born?" Obi-Wan said laughing a little, as Chewbacca joined in.

That was when it hit Obi-Wan, something was wrong. Then he knew what was wrong – something had happened to Luke.

"Did they get Luke as well?" Obi-Wan asked as Anakin walked up to him.

Anakin slowly nodded yes as he held Padmé close to him.

'How is she taking it?' Obi-Wan asked Anakin through the Force.

'Not very well. We need to find them and fast.'

"We're ready whenever you are," Han said to Anakin. Chewbacca roared in agreement.

Padmé looked up at the new voices that she heard. She looked at them all then looked at the ship behind them. It looked at the ship that they were going to travel to Dagobah on. "We're flying on that hunk of junk?" she asked. "We'll never find Luke and Leia in enough time!"

"She has it where it counts," Han said confidently about his ship.

"Don't worry. We'll get to them in enough time." Anakin said as they all boarded the Millennium Falcon.

Luke slowly opened his eyes and let them adjust to the light. Two blurry figures were leaning over him.

"Luke are you alright?" a familiar voice asked.

He gently placed his hand on his head. "Yeah Alyssa I am," he said sitting up. "I feel like I was hit by a speeder, that's all."

Luke's attention suddenly turned towards the other person that was in the room with them. It was a young woman who looked to be his age. She had long brown hair and brown eyes. She had a worried look on her face.

"We're glad that you finally woke up," she gently said.

Luke smiled slightly. "How long was I out for?"

"Not long. Alyssa just woke up herself. Oh my name is Leia."

"I'm Luke. Where are we anyways?" he asked standing up and stretching.

"On an Imperial Superstar Destroyer." Leia said.

"But why?" Luke asked.

"I'm not sure."

"Luke, I'm scared. I want my mommy and daddy." Alyssa said.

"It will be alright Alyssa. My dad will save us. Remember he and Uncle Obi-Wan are Jedi Knights." Luke said hugging his cousin.

"You know Obi-Wan Kenobi! My mom talks to me about him all the time. Him and an Anakin Skywalker. They saved her many times." Leia said interjecting.

"What's your mother's name?"

"Padmé Amidala Naberrie."

As soon as she said that, Luke felt something through the Force. It was as if this young woman had something in common. Something in common that was very deep. But he had no idea what.
