Oh my gosh; it appears that the Doctor has saved us all! Whooo!
This took so long because I suffered from writer's block for a long time. Almost all of this was written today seeing that inspiration hit me on the head like a ton of Jedi Cloaks.

Leia sighed as she helped Han repair the Falcon.
The hyperdrive had failed so they had entered the nearby asteroid field to escape and hopefully fix the battered ship.
Leia was very much aware that she was the only female on the ship. She did take comfort that Han gave her space and never said a single crude word about her.
She hoped that Ani was staying out of trouble. He had a habit of acting out when he was worried about her safety.
If Leia understood him correctly it was because someone went away and they were important to him.
When she had told him that Bail had been killed when Alderaan had been destroyed he had cried for the only grandfather he had ever known Leia had had a hard time offering comfort since she was also mourning Bail's passing.
Leia sighed as she felt Han gently touch her shoulder.
"It's time to get something to eat." He told her.
Leia nodded and set the tools down.
She followed Han to an area so they could clean their grease covered hands off.
The meal was a little bland but at least it was food.
After a few minutes Chewbacca left to check on something leaving Leia alone with Han.
Before Leia knew it her and Han were talking about their lives and what brought them to this moment.
Han had gone to the Imperial Academy but because he was a nonconformist he wasn't drafted into the Imperial Military; which was lucky for him.
Leia told him about what her life had been like before she had Anakin and what it was like afterwards. She loved the fact that he said that he was sorry that beings existed out there that would do such a thing to anyone.

Anakin swung his legs so they would hit the supply crate he was sitting on.
It had been two days since the last transport from Hoth had reached the rendezvous and still no sign of his mother or the Falcon.
Anakin forced himself not to think of his mother in te hands of the Empire and being tortured for information.
He reached for the Force for both comfort and to assure himself that she wasn't in pain. He that she was alright for the time being but an image floated in his mind's eye of a woman's broken body.
Whoever she was she was important to him and he was upset that she was hurt and apparently dying.
Anakin knew that Imperials hadn't done it to her but something – no, someone – had done this to her and that they had all paid for her death.
He didn't like talking about the things that he'd see at times but now and then he would share with the others what he saw. Anakin knew that they also saw things at times but they could never figure out why they were seeing what they were seeing.
Anakin vowed that once Luke got back that he would talk to the young Jedi about what he was seeing. But Luke had gone to find a Jedi Master that survived the Purge to train him to be a Jedi.
Either way he had to think of a way to keep his mind off of those images and impressions
Anakin sighed.
There wasn't much to do on the cruiser but at least he was with beings that he had known much of his life.
A disturbance in the Force had Anakin jumping off his crate just in time to miss little Ahsoka. She had tried to tackle him.
With that the two raced through the storage bay laughing.

Darth Sidious looked out on Coruscant thinking about the best way to deal with the clones of Jedi that the Rebels had.
Part of him was tempted to have them killed but another part saw the usefulness of keeping them around.
If he chose to spare them then he could simply use them as assassins and spies.
He had true need for an apprentice since Vader was still in good enough health to be of use and bound to him through self-hatred.
If he needed a new apprentice than he would simply attempt to convert young Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side. After all the boy was about as power as his father had been before Mustafar.
He decided to wait for another time to decide the fate of the Jedi Clones.

Welks Rist took several deep breaths as he prepared to set off a chain reaction in one of the storage bays of Home One.
He noted with disgust that one of those blasted clones was in it with son of the former princess of Alderaan: Anakin.
Welks would love to strike back at that freakish and unworthy piece of scum that had gotten his brother killed. His family had always suspected that Bail Organa had taken out the hit on those that were responsible for the rape of the girl that many Nobles had suspected might be the Viceroy's illegitimate daughter.
Sadly no one could prove anything.
Welks knew one thing though: the boy playing with the clone had no Alderaanian blood; just like his filthy mother.
Welks would bet a lot of money that she had been messing around before the rape.
But that soon wouldn't matter.

Ahsoka nimbly raced across the bay and jumped behind a large crate; waiting for Anakin to come over to her.
Her senses started screaming that something was wrong but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
Ahsoka frowned as she heard a strange noise.
She turned and looked at a station where the noise seemed to be coming from.
Ahsoka felt that she should stay where she was but she wanted to see what was wrong with the station.
She slipped from behind the crate and made her way to the station.
Ahsoka stared at the station; trying to decide what to do.
She felt Anakin come up behind her and he gently pushed her aside as he opened a panel to reveal a few sparking wires.
Ahsoka frowned in confusion.
She thought that the stations on Home One were well taken care of but maybe this one slipped through the airlock.
"Ahsoka why don't you go get Ric Hoos. Tell him that there's a sparking station in Storage Bay ten." Anakin commented to her.
Ahsoka nodded and headed for the door. She was almost there when she heard an explosion.
A mental scream of panic and downright terror surged so strongly through the Force that Ahsoka screamed aloud.
She turned to see the station in ruins and Anakin burning alive.

Yeah, yeah, I know: evil cliffy.
But since the world will exist tomorrow you will find out sooner or later what happens next.
