Hey! I now have time to actually get things done! Huzzah! Anyways, thank you for the reviews that have given me some pretty good ideas.
1)I do not own Star Wars. Just having fun
2)I AM just having fun. Not fully sure how much continuity this story will actually have.
3)If you have any ideas, please leave a review and tell me. I really enjoy writing this stuff, but I have a bit of a serious nature, and appreciate help.
.5 ABY (a week or so after Chapter 6)
"What in Tarnation?!"
Han's exclamation rang across the hanger and pilots, mechanics, and anyone else who was there looked to see what the problem was. What they saw was a now pink Falcon and a pissed former smuggler. Most people went back to their work without a second thought; more and more things were becoming pink now a days. A few people laughed, and some of those were people who knew the former smuggler well. Most just really enjoyed the visual. Mon Mothma, who happened to be in the hanger (due to a tip off by our resident pranksters), laughed for a different reason. She knew who the pranksters were.
The leader of the Rebellion thought about going over to Mr. Solo and telling him that the paint wasn't going to come off no matter how hard he tried, but she did promise that a video of his reaction would be available to the twins when they returned.
While she was on the topic of the Skywalker twins, she mulled over the news they brought her a week ago, using it as explanation as to why both of them wanted a few months off from the Rebellion. It was still shocking. Vader was once Anakin Skywalker, Luke and Leia were twins, both could use the Force, Yoda was still alive, and that they were responsible for the droid 'revolution' and the pink that could be seen anywhere in any of the Rebel bases. All in a span of 6 months. The twins left to train with Yoda last night, apparently after they finished painting the Falcon for Han. And to think that she thought they had left because they didn't want to make a big deal of it. Skywalkers.
Mon Mothma's comm beeped from a message from Madine about the Intel that came from a deep cover spy last night. Sighing, she left the pink Falcon and an angry Han behind and turned her mind to pleasanter things. Like the bet that was going around the Rebellion right now about whether or not Luke and Leia would be an official couple.
'It's a good thing I don't usually bet on things, or otherwise I'd loose a lot of money,' She thought. 'Although… Han might be able to finally pay back Jabba when it comes out that they are twins.' Maybe all this betting would be a good thing after all, because then Han and Leia could get together. She'd see the glances shared between the two of them. Maybe she should start a separate betting pool on that possibility. Under a different name, of course; she can't let anyone know she's been betting again.
Later that evening when she made a copy of the fallout of the prank for the twins, she laughed once more about the fact that they had everyone fooled into thinking that they could be a couple. Skywalkers and their pranks. They never end.
A small ship landed (crashed) into a swamp, and two disgruntled humans climbed out, arguing with each other like siblings usually do when something goes wrong.
"I told you it wouldn't work!"
"Oh, like you would have done it better than me?!"
"Actually, I would have!"
"Actually Nothing! The sensors went blank and neither of us are in tuned with the Force enough-"
"So That's what matters! Being able to feel your way around! Well, let me tell you-"
(You get the idea. They're siblings And Skywalkers.)
Yoda was standing not too far off from the crash because he knew they were coming, and upon seeing the arguing twins, started muttering to himself about bad ideas, thick skulls, and something about being too old. Obi-Wan agreed with whatever the old master said, while Qui-Gon disagreed on a fundamental basis. No one is too old to learn anything. Also, the jovial mindset of the twins made him think that, once again, they were trying to pull one over on the Jedi Master.
'I wish ghosts could eat, because right now, I'd have a bag of popcorn ready to chow down on,' he thought to himself.
Yoda finally spoke up, interrupting the 'squabble'. "Skywalkers welcome you are. Stop arguing you should. Older than that you are." Disappointment rolled of the Jedi, even as the twins started giggling, completely disregarding the argument they were in only 5 seconds ago. Qui-Gon wondered if they'd done this before.
"We are terribly sorry…"
"Master Yoda. You see…"
"We get along so well…"
"And we are so ready to become real Jedi…"
"We just couldn't contain our enthusiasm," the twins finished at the same time with identical broad smiles.
Yoda's disappointment grew in the face of their childish antics, and Obi-Wan felt like he should have seen this coming. Qui-Gon simply chortled and seriously wished for popcorn (me too, dude).
"Come with me you must if want to become Jedi you still do."
The old master began to walk (hobble) away, and the twins followed him, their good mood kinda dampened by his refusal to react or have fun. Obi-Wan turned to Qui-Gon with a frown marring his face, not dampening the ghost's good mood one bit.
"I was right to not introduce the twins to you. Part of me wonders if you are a Skywalker in disguise."
"Peace, Kenobi. If I was a Skywalker, I would not hide it. I simply enjoy the children's antics."
Obi-Wan turned away from him and scowled at something alive instead of him, and continued to be unable to do anything about the slightly ridiculous youths.
'If I was able to grow up with my family, like these kids, I might have known if I have Skywalker blood or not through family stories. I'm glad that Kenobi and Yoda allowed these twins to have families, even though their childhoods were spent apart from each other. They had love, nurture, and support that all children need. It's why the Order failed.' Qui-Gon mussed bitterly as he followed behind the unlikely trio, not showing himself to them.
Yoda sat the twins down and started walking them through the details of meditating in the Force, one of the things a youngling should learn how to do with the Force. They had heard this all before from Obi-Wan, but soaked it up anyways. When Yoda led them through the guided meditation they tried so many times in the dreams, they didn't stall or grasp for something that wasn't there. They more than touched the Force; they jumped into it feet first, leaving Yoda behind. Something happened after a few seconds though, and they were suddenly slammed back into reality.
"Feared this would happen I did," Yoda said when the twins gained their bearings once more.
The twins were now paying Yoda the type of attention they'd never given Obi-Wan
"Why is that?" asks Luke.
"Twins you are and the strongest Jedi in history your father is. A powerful bond the you two have."
Yoda takes a breath, and Qui-Gon can see the struggle the old Master was having between leaving it at that or delving in deeper in to the mechanics of bonds and confusing them.
Yoda shouldn't have worried about it, however, because Leia spoke up before he could make up his mind. "So our bond basically combines our power and makes it easier to touch the Force together, but only if we work together?"
Yoda nodded in agreement and clarified the effects. "When using with the Force together work against each other you cannot. On your own you become."
"I figured," Luke interjected looking from Yoda to Leia and back again. "Once I had a thought of exploring by myself, doing it on my own, we lost our hold on the Force and… well, crashed back into reality."
Yoda nodded once again, and said, "Train you separately I must. Be able to do everything on your own you must. Use your bond as a crutch you cannot. Know why you do."
Both twins agreed with this, solemnly understanding the nature of war. However, this understanding didn't stop the grins from spreading on both of their faces when they realized that if they worked together, they would be near unstoppable. They would be able to pull off the craziest of their plans after getting out of this swamp. The first plans they would put into action would be Plan 'Befuddle the Empire' and Plan 'Vendetta'. There might actually be a chance that the Rebellion would win the war.
The Emperor and Vader stood in the Emperor's throne room looking out over Coruscant contemplating different things. Vader was planning ways to capture and stop the Rebellion, although it was becoming significantly harder, since competent men kept disappearing. The Emperor was thinking about the disturbance in the Force 6 months ago. Everything had settled back into normality, except a tiny, dim blip of light that hadn't been there before. He wanted it extinguished, but the question was how to do so. Both men were taken off guard when the Force trembled and bursting into a blinding light for only a moment before going back to the way it was before. But Palpatine noticed that the speck of light was bigger and brighter than it was before, and he did not like it.
Vader noticed something different than his Master though. He had seen a face, a face that matched a picture given to him only a few days ago. A spy had been able to get a picture of the pilot that destroyed the Death Star 7 months ago. Although the picture was blurry, he could still see the face structure of the boy, his blond hair, and his blue eyes. This face was clearer and was filled with wonder. Was this the boy's first time touching the Force like that? He'd felt his presence on the Death Star and while they were in the trench, so he was sure that it was the same boy, but surely he had a teacher! No matter. He started changing his plans of destroying the Rebellion to include capturing this pilot. Maybe he would help in overthrowing the Emperor…
