Luke waited impatiently for Ahsoka and Kanan to return. He had already been back a week on Naboo, but there had been no word from them since his arrival. For the thousandth time he asked himself why he hadn't inquired where they were going. For what felt like the hundredth time he went over the Phantom, tuning and cleaning it until it looked brand new.

His mother came out and said "Luke, I know you are getting worried about them, but if you clean that glass again it might just break from being rubbed thin." Luke smiled at her and said "I know your right, it just feels like there is nothing else to do but work on this. I always think best when I am working with my hands."

Padmé got a far off look in her eye, before gently saying "Your father was the same way." Luke looked at her, hesitated, and then asked "What was he like? Before he went to the dark side I mean." She smiled at her son, then said "I always knew that if I ever saw you you would ask that question. I met him when he was just a boy, he had an adventurous spirit that he kept with him all his life."

"He was kind, truly caring about those who couldn't care for themselves, just like him and his mother had been. He always had a temper too, like Kanan and Ahsoka had. Honestly I am surprise those two ever became Jedi, but then maybe they had someone speak up for them like Anakin had. Obi-wan's master was originally going to be his, but he was killed shortly after they met, so Obi-wan stepped up."

"Your father was very excited about what the future held for our family, though he was also disenchanted with how the Jedi did things at that time. He made some bad choices on who to trust. I am so glad that in the end, you were able to convince him to come back to us." Luke smiled sadly at her and said "I wish I could have reunited us in truth. That we could have had even just a moment of being a real family where Leia and I could remember it."

Padmé was about to reply when the comm system crackled to life and Hera's voice came on saying "Padmé, this is the Ghost. We are about 5 minutes out." Luke turned to go answer it, when he felt his mother's hand gently come to rest on his arm. He turned to look her in the eye and she said "I wish that could have been too."

Luke's eyes softened and he pulled his mother into a hug. He released her after a moment and went to answer Hera, to let her know that they would be waiting for them.
