Author's note: Sorry about the little 4's, it's supposed to be an accent over Padame's name.

Chapter 2: It's Time for Change

Ariana kept pressing the button that was used to connect them. She kept getting frustrated. Finally, Anakin picked up.

"Ari! Stop! I'm here. What's wrong" he asked.

"Mommy just got hit by car while we were walking. I don't want her to die" Ariana wailed. Anakin gasped.

"I'll be over A.S.A.P." he said.

"Can you bring Luke and Leia please" Ariana asked sweetly.

"Sure" Anakin said hurriedly "Luke, Leia! Get your stuff packed up! We're going to see your cousins". Luke and Leia cheered. They hung up. Anakin told the whole family what had happened. Padame shrieked in horror and started to cry. The twins also cried. Everyone got into the family craft and Anakin initiated hyper speed.


Earth:

Jeff had scooped Alan and Ariana up and went to the hospital. They found Lucille in a bed hooked up to tubes and monitors. Jeff winced. He set the twins down and they scurried off to their brothers. Alan went to Scott and Ariana went to Virgil. Ariana fell asleep in Virgil's arms, until Anakin came bursting in. He was out of breath.

"Where's Lucy? I FLEW FROM ANOTHER GALAXY TO SEE MY SISTER" Anakin roared. That outburst scared Ariana and she woke up screaming. Leia climbed onto a chair next to Virgil and gently rubbed her back.

"It's okay Ari, it's only my dad" Leia said softly. She turned around to look at her dad.

"Anakin! You scared Ariana! She was sleeping" Padame told him. Anakin looked at his niece and took her from Virgil. He held her tightly.

"I'm sorry kiddo" he said. Ariana hugged him back. Suddenly, a doctor came out of Lucy's room. Anakin walked over to him.

"Do you want us to continue trying to revive her" the doctor was asking. Anakin gave Ariana to Jeff.

"Lucy is NOT gone. She's still there" he said.

"But sir! The monitor isn't showing any signs of a heart beat" the doctor told him. Anakin ignored him and went into his sister's room. He sat in the chair next to the bed and began to force heal her.

"You are going to live Lucy. I can promise you that" he said. The doctor came running in along with Jeff who was still holding Ariana. Anakin was done in five minutes, in which the whole family had come in to see what the ruckus was about. Lucy opened her eyes.

"Anakin? Where are you? I can feel your presence" she said. She was half Jedi. This confused the kids, except for Alan and Ariana, and the doctor. Jeff knew about the Jedi once he met their family. Anakin took her hand.

"I am right her Lucy" he said. She turned her head and smiled at him.

"Thanks big bro" she said.

"No problem, I'd do it for you any time. Now, you can't shoo me away easily. I'm not leaving until I know you're alright" Anakin told her sternly. Lucy sighed.

"Fine! I want to see my kids right now" she said. Each of them stepped up. Alan and Ariana were the last ones. Jeff and Scott laid the twins on either side of her.

"I love you mommy" Ariana said.

"I love you too honey" she replied. Alan pouted.

"What about me" he asked.

"We love you too" Ariana said.

"Thanks Ari" he replied.


11 years later:

The Tracy kids have grown up (somewhat). Gordon is the same as always, a prankster. Virgil took after Lucy in music. John always looks at the stars. Scott went to the Air Force. As for the twins, they're best friends. Alan sulks a lot while Ariana, known as Ari, is still more mature for her age. Jeff had started a business known as IR or International Rescue with help from, Lucy, Kyrano, Ohana, and Brains. Thunderbirds, as they were now called, was started after the scare with Lucy. From time to time, Luke and Leia come from Tatoonie to help. Luke is now a Jedi, trained by Anakin, and Leia is part of the Senate. The twins are still friends with their cousins, but have two new friends, Fermat and Tin-Tin. Tin-Tin is Ariana's best friend and Fermat is Alan's.

"H-Hey A-Alan! How are your cousins doing" Fermat asked. Fermat and Tin-Tin were also friends with their cousins.

"Good Fermat, very good" Alan said.

"W-What are you looking for" Fermat asked.

"Ari. I've got a great idea" Alan replied. They both found her in the library reading a book.

"Uh oh! Alan's got a plan" Ariana said smirking at her brother. They loved pranking their brothers. Even their mom got a kick out of it, sometimes. Their target today: Gordon.


Fin., but not done with the story! Please R&R!
