Chapter 2 – Ajan Kloss
Ines was getting everything ready. They had arrived a few hours ago to the moon of Ajan Kloss, a jungle moon located in the Cademimu sector of the Outer Rim Territories.
They had left Coruscant 48 hours ago, and they just arrived in the jungle moon, where there was mountains, lakes, bamboo forests, and she liked it. She always loved the green, since she born and grew up surround by mountains and forest and lakes. And she knew Luke loved it too, since he was never a fan of desert planets.
When they arrive, the ant droids that Ahsoka made sure to help to built at least a place for them to stay, were finishing the small huts with stones, which she found amazing how fast they worked. Even built a bench made of stones and bamboo sticks and leaves.
The moment they left the ship, the kids start to run around the place, laughing and having fun.
Going outside the hut, she couldn't help but smile when watched her older kids looking at frogs jumping around, while Grogu just looked at them with wide eyes.
Getting next to her two Luke's, she wrapped her arms around her husband waist, resting her chin on his right shoulder, smiling at her baby who focus on a small butterfly who was flying around.
"I see why you want us here. This place reminds home." she said.
"I knew you would love it." he said smiling.
"So what is your plan?"
"I'm thinking that I should start to train Grogu. He needs to learn a few things before Din arrives."
"When is that?" she asked looking at the their Alli and Padmé who was jumping behind the frog, while Grogu was trying to grab it.
"In a few days I believe." he said adjusting his son on his arms.
"Do you have something in mind?" she asked looking at the Child.
"He still needs to be able to protect himself. What do you think?" he asked turning to see his wife.
Looking back at him, and then to Grogu she spoke:
"Well he is small and because of that he needs to jump really high, after all he will face bigger people."
Luke nod looking back at him.
"You are right. I will also test his reflexes."
"You are not using the training remote, are you?" she asked making Luke looked at her.
"I have too."
"Poor thing. If you use that thing on our children, we will have a conversation, mister." she smiled making Luke smiled back and leaning forward he kissed her.
Then they heard the girls scream in a disgusting manner making them pulled apart. The moment they looked at them, they saw Grogu with half of the poor frog stuck in his mouth and then swallow it, making Alli ran towards her parents.
"Papa! Mama! Gogu ate that fog." she said frowning.
"We saw sweetie." Ines said and looked at Luke.
"That was nasty." Ben said shaking his head. "I don't know if I can look at him the same way." Their almost 6 years old son said making Luke shake his head.
Grogu was about to the grab another but this Padmé grabbed it first and put the little animal on the water.
"No. No more fogs!" she said putting her hands on her hips just like her mother.
Handling their baby son, Luke looked at her.
"I will better change and start the training." he said and went inside to change clothes.
Minutes later:
Luke came out from the hut he and Ines share, wearing a black Gi and black boots, and he was caring a light blue backpack on his hand.
"What is that, daddy?" Ben asked as he approached them.
"This is a backpack that daddy used back at the time we was in Dagobah training with his old Master."
"My godfather?" the 5 years old boy asked him.
"No my son. His is name was Master Yoda. He taught me a long time ago, when daddy was still learning how to be a Jedi." he said. "He was like Grogu actually."
"Really?" Ben asked him.
"I met him." Alli said jumping around. "In the planet where Atoo was eating by a monster. Right Papa?"
"That's right."
"Poor Atoo." Padmé said hugging the droid who beeped.
"I want to meet him too." Ben said frowning.
"You will sweetie. Just have patience." Ines said pulling her first born towards her, laughing when her baby boy Luke looked a his older brother and try to bend down to touch his hair, which she avoid because she knew that would not end well.
"Papa are you cawing Gogu?" Alli asked her father, who nod smiling.
"Exactly. Papa and Grogu will have a little training today."
"Can we watch?" Padmé asked him.
"Kids let your father train Grogu in piece. How about we give a walk and maybe we can find them?" Ines said, making the kids pout but they knew they had to obey.
Luke smiled and winked at his wife. Grabbing the backpack, he looked at Grogu.
"Come on Grogu, let me take you to a place where we need to train something that I didn't do yet back at the temple." he told him and putting Grogu inside the backpack, he put it on his back and walked towards a spot, near the water.
Taking out the backpack, and putting on the floor, Luke sighed and looked down at Grogu, who was walking out of it.
"All right. It's time to continue your training." he said and with his hands on his hips, he looked at the small kid in front of him. "Let's see you jump."
Grogu looked at him and gave a small jump looking at him.
Ines was right. He really need to jump higher.
"Really? That's all you got? Bend down, jump, and as you do, feel the force flow through you."
Grogu looked at him and looking down he tried again, but the jump continue to be small.
Luke knew what he was doing.
"You are trying to hard. Don't try. Do." he said remembering the same phrase Master Yoda told him when he tried to lift his X-Wing from the water.
Grogu looked at him and Luke knew he had to try a different approached and he just had a good idea.
"Come on, I want to show you something." he said and putting Grogu back inside the backpack, he tied on his back and decided to do what he did back in the days with Master Yoda.
Having Grogu on his back, Luke started to run through the bamboo forest, jumping over rocks.
"Hang on." he said while he did a flip, just like he did in Dagobah.
Running over a log he jump, landing on top of an animal that in the water. After finding his balance, Luke jump on top of little sticks, until he reach the other end, he reached the bamboo forest and grabbing on he started to climbed until he reached the top, where they saw a beautiful over the landscape.
He loved the green and the water.
Looking back at Grogu, he smiled at the child.
"Look. The wide world exists in balance." he started to explain. "Feel the Force all around you." and closing their eyes, they felt the Force around them. "Through the Force you will find balance as well."
After a few minutes, he climbed down, at the moment Ines appeared with the kids after giving a walk. He smiled since it was through the Force he found her. She was his balance and he was hers.
"How is the training?" she asked, shaking her head when the girls started to reach Grogu's hands from their father's back.
"Well he his still learning how to use the force to support himself and to jump." he told her.
"Maybe you should stop for today and continue tomorrow." she told him and he agreed.
She was right.
"You are right."
"Then come on, let's go back to the hut cause it starts to get dark." she said. "Come on, let's go back."
Smiling they head back to the huts where R2 was there waiting.
This would be a very interesting weeks, Luke thought.
The Skywalkers arrived at the planet and Luke continue to train Grogu.
