Sorry that this took so long. Part of it was that I lost my glasses for three days, procrastination set in for a bit and then I was trying to get a point across.

It didn't help that I wanted to get at least 1,000 words in the chapters now.

Anakin sighed as he was led with the other children to a transport. They had to leave before the Death Star arrived.

Part of him wanted to ran back to his momma but he knew that she wouldn't be happy to see him.

Anakin took a seat between Ahsoka and Padme so he could hold their hands. Ahsoka liked it when they did this and it felt familiar. Similar to how he knew his momma felt for him; he felt that for Ahsoka.

Padme on the other hand felt different; like they had done this a long time ago.

The ship vibrated as it took off and Anakin could feel that they would be returning to Yavin IV. He scowled at the thought of returning to the jungle moon. But at least he'd be with his momma.

After the destruction of the Death Star . . .

The celebration after the destruction of the abomination known as the Death Star was a quiet affair. Many good men had lost their lives that day.

The younger children were talking about how they were going to be fighters for peace and justice once the war was over.

Padme just sat wondering what it would be like not to have to hide. They had been hiding before she had been born.

She also had a feeling that she had been hiding something before; something that had to stay a secret.

A frown creased her face as she tried to remember just what she had been hiding.

Fleeting impressions of being loved and loving someone, she could almost feel someone hugging her lovingly.

An image flittered across her mind's eye: a pair of blue eyes and golden brown hair.

She tried to hold onto the image but it was already gone but the memory of the face remained.

A few other impressions came to her. Being ignored, belittled and treated as if she knew nothing.

She shook her head to get rid of the impressions since she thought that she was . . . an adult in them.

Riyo suddenly ran over.

"Padme, we're leaving in a couple of days." She informed her. Padme blinked a few times. "Why?" she asked. "A lone fighter survived the destruction of the Death Star." Shaak said. "And there's the possibility that Tarkin told someone else where we are."

Padme nodded. This meant that they, the children, would be moved first.

They moved around the room slowly collecting their fellows and headed for their room to pack. As she packed Padme had the impression that she had done this more than she remembered doing.

Leia had fought long and hard to be with her son for the evacuation. Some people felt that she should stay since she was a great strategist. Others said that they had already asked her to do something dangerous; she deserved to be with her son.

In the end Mon had insisted that Leia be allowed to leave with the children and unessential personal.

At the moment she was hurrying around the room she had been using and taking anything of value to her, her son and that could be either of use later or couldn't be left behind.

Anakin sat the whole time on his cot.

Finally she put the last article of clothing in her bags.

"Come on Ani, we need to get to the transports." She said as she slung one of the bags over her shoulder and picked up another.

Anakin hopped off the cot and grabbed the remaining one.

Leia sighed as she took one last look around the room before leaving. She found herself glad to be leaving. She didn't like the planet and neither did Anakin.

"Momma, we hide on Naboo?" He asked carefully. "No, we don't want to endanger those that live there." She told him as they headed for the transport.

Once they were on board she secured Anakin then herself in seats.

She smiled as the children talked about where they were hoping they were heading next. She noted that the children wanted go to several planets. Naboo seemed to be popular as well as a few other planets.

Padme had suggested Mandalore and Anakin had said something about someone loved someone there.

It brought a smile to Padme's face to hear the children talk about planets that they wanted to visit or to have a base on.

There was talk about Stewjon, Shili and Ryloth.

Adi had suggested Tatooine but Anakin had startled everyone by yelling 'no' rather loudly.

Finally the ship lifted off; heading for somewhere that even Leia was unsure of.

Luke felt his pulse thump in his veins as he and the other pilots lifted off and headed away from the Jungle Moon f Yavin IV.

The moon had been too muggy and green for his tastes. It didn't help that the environment made him feel like he was being suffocated, that he was trapped, that walls were closing in on him.

He felt safe in his X-Wing; which Wedge Antilles thought was funny since he was in a confined space. But at least Luke felt like there was only open spaces and his view wasn't obstructed by trees.

A question from R2 came up: Are you aright? "I'm fine R2; I'm just glad to be off Yavin IV. I thought that I was going to die from all the moisture in the air." That makes sense. R2 commented.

"Prepare for the jump to hyperspace." Wedge said over the comm. "Alright." Luke said as he prepared the X-Wing's hyperdrive for the jump.

The computer chirped and he pulled the lever. He watched in some awe as the star stretched out and then the stars were replaced by the blue swirls of hyperspace.

Mon surveyed the leaders of the Alliance as they gathered in a conference room on one of their ships. Admiral Ackbar and Leia were just two of their strategists there.

Mon smiled as she noted that little Anakin was untangling some wires on Leia's lap. After arriving from Yavin IV the boy had been almost attached to Leia.

Finally everyone else arrived; it was time to start discussing their next plan of action. They needed to decide where they would hide next.

She knew that they had to discuss where to hide next. She brought up a map of a few sectors of the galaxy for everyone to see.

"There are a few places that we can safely hide on without fear of endangering innocent beings." She said to the gathered leaders.

"Admiral Ackbar has looked at a few of the planets in these sectors and has picked a few planets." She said as she handed out some datacards for them to put in their datapads to read.

She waited for them to read some of the basic information on the planets.

When everyone's attention was turned back to her she highlighted a sector. "This planet, is volcanic but far enough away from regular Trade Routes that we should be safe. Everyone will need to take extra care outside of any base we build there."

"Mon," Garm began, "there are two volcanic planets listed here. So which one are you referring to?" He asked. "This one is called Mustafar." She informed everyone.

Loose things in the room started to rattle.

Mon turned to see Anakin was shaking his Leia's arms; a look that bordered on terror on his face.

"Ani, what's wrong?" Leia asked as she tried to soothe the boy.

Anakin didn't respond but the feeling of horrible pain, something like betrayal and fear filled the room.

Leia stood and left the room with her son.

Mon knew that the clones didn't have the memories of the originals but the Force Sensitive ones had impressions of their lives before.

She found herself wondering if Mustafar was where Anakin had died.

Either way she decided that Mustafar was out of the picture.

Just to reiterate the clones don't have the original's memories but the Force gives them impressions of their former lives.
