AN: Happy 4th of July to everyone! Well at least to the people in the USA who read my stories….but the same to everyone else as well. This chapter would have been posted sooner, but I had too much fun partying last night. So enjoy!

Chapter 11:

Chewbacca growled ferociously. He didn't like the idea of a Nikkëi being aboard the Falcon with him aboard. But if it meant that much to Princess Leia, then he would do it. But that hadn't come easily for him. She had to practically beg him to allow it, even though Han had said it was fine.

"If this Wulfie makes one false move, Chewie here is gonna tear into him." Han warned, as he, Leia and Chewbacca all awaited the arrival of Wulfie and Galen. "And what's up with the kid?"

Leia sighed. "I'm not sure. I met her a few years ago and she was so sweet. And she still is. But now, whenever I see her, I get the feeling that everything is going to be all right. No matter how grave the situation is."

Han looked at her funny. "Princess, I think you've lost it."

"Hush Han. Here they come,"

Han looked up and saw a little girl eagerly pulling a grown Nikkëi along with her. He sighed as he turned and boarded the Falcon. "I can already tell this is gonna be a fantastic trip," he mumbled.

Leia quickly turned and threw him a nasty glance just as Wulfie and Galen were next to her.

"What's wrong?" Wulfie quickly asked.

"Oh nothing. Come on let's go." Leia said smiling, holding her hand out to Galen.

Galen took the hand happily and followed Leia aboard the Falcon.

Wulfie stood back and admired the scene for a brief second. He knew that Leia was Anakin and Padmé 's daughter and that they also had son named Luke Skywalker.

But at the moment, Galen and Leia looked so much alike. They both resembled their mother in so many ways, from the way that their bodies were built to how they acted. Even their hair was similar to hers. The only glaring difference that Wulfie knew of was the color of their eyes. Leia had brown eyes while Galen had soft blue eyes like Anakin's.

Hopefully soon they could find Padmé and Anakin and that the Skywalker family could be reunited. But for now, Wulfie was keeping what he knew to himself. Besides he had promised Anakin that he would protect Galen with his life and he had a feeling that he was going to have to do just that.


Luke Skywalker eagerly awaited the arrival of the Millennium Falcon on Mon Calamari. This is where they had agreed to meet for the time being then seen where they were going to go to next to help out the Rebel Alliance. He knew that Leia really needed to be back with high command because Mon Mothma needed her assistance.

As soon as the Falcon came into view, a smile lit up his face. He had missed his friends so much. Sure he had the Rogue Squadron, but they weren't the same as Chewie, Han, Leia and Threepio.

Artoo beeped and whistled next to him.

"Yup Artoo, that's them. Right on time."

The Falcon gently touched down in the clearing and within seconds, Leia was running down the gangplank towards him. She took had missed Luke. The four friends had grown close through all of their adventures together. From rescuing Leia aboard the Death Star to the Battle of Yavin IV and then to evading the Empire, they had become the best of friends.

After their embrace, Luke greeted Han and Chewie. Then he was surprised to see another being, somewhat similar to Chewie, and a little girl silently standing off to the side.

"Who's that?" Luke quietly asked Leia.

"Oh that's Galen Ronoco and Wulfitz, but everyone calls him Wulfie. The Empire took her parents and we need to find them. They were good friends of my father's."

Luke looked over at the little girl and smiled gently. The little girl smiled back at him. That was when Luke felt something strange. It was as if he was connected to this girl somehow. Like she was apart of him. Then something else caught his eye.

Standing behind the young girl was a tall gentleman. But no one else seemed to be able to see him. The man had long hair and wore robes similar to the ones Ben Kenobi had worn. Could this man be a Jedi spirit?

Just as quickly as Luke had seen the man, he began to fade away.

"Protect her. She is very special," a voice whispered at him.

Luke shook his head briefly to take in what he had just experience. He had no idea who he had just seen and heard. But he had to admit that there was something about this girl.

Leia motioned for Galen to come over and meet Luke. Galen slowly made her way towards them. There was something about this guy that made Galen feel weird. It was as if she had seen him somewhere before, but couldn't remember where.

"Galen this is my friend Luke Skywalker. Luke, this is Galen Ronoco and Wulfie."

Luke looked over at Wulfie and nodded then smiled once again down at Galen. As she smiled back at him, she couldn't help but notice that his eyes were so much like her daddy's eyes. That's when it slowly came back to her…

She watched as her daddy pulled her mommy close to him and held her while she cried. "Soon Padmé, we'll be reunited with them. I just know it," he daddy whispered to her mommy.

Galen slowly made her way back to her bedroom. She was full of questions. Who was the young man in the holopics that made her mommy cry? And why was her daddy calling her mommy a different name? She had so many questions….

She looked back up at Luke and had the biggest smile on her face. She knew that her parents were going to be safe. They had to be.

"Come on everyone. We better get back to the fleet before the Imperials take notice of us," Han suggested.

Everyone agreed.


Anakin punched the wall in blind rage. Padmé had just been taken from their cell to who knows where. If he was only able to touch the Force, he could have saved her! Now she, like the rest of his family, was gone. Taken from him. Taken from him by a man who he had thought was his friend at one time. But Anakin had been wrong. Palpatine had only wanted him for his abilities and nothing more.

Hot tears ran down his cheeks as he quickly wiped them away. He couldn't let himself fall into despair. He couldn't let fear run through his veins. He did admit that he was fearful that he would never see his family again.

"Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering; that is the dark side of things…"

The words Master Yoda had told him time and time again ran through his head. He couldn't let himself fall to the dark side. He had to save his family. Besides that's what Palpatine wanted. He wanted Anakin to fall to the dark side in an attempt to lure Luke to the dark side as well.

He took a deep, calming breath. He was going to get out of that cell one way or another. And he was going to make damn well sure Palpatine was going to suffer for all that he had done to his family.
