A second chapter today. I hope you all like where I go with this story.
Luke woke up with a headache. It took a minute for him to wake up enough to realize something was wrong. The last thing he remembered was he and Mara were fighting the Vong. Corran and Mirax were in the Skate fighting with them till they convinced them to fall back and escape. He and Mara said their good byes knowing they would not live to see their son Ben again.
As he looked around he was in his room at his Aunt and Uncle's moisture farm on Tattooing. What's more he looks like he is around 14 years old. Rubbing his face with his hands Luke sat there in bed trying to remember anything that could have caused him to appear in his 14 year old self. That's assuming he is not imagining the last 30 something years. First thing first figure if the memories are real. Easy try to do something with the force. So he use telekinesis to lift objects in his room. Well that settles that. Memories are real. The next thing is to see if he still had his bond with Mara. Mara. His wife and his other half. She would be on Coruscant. If she did not come back too he didn't know what he would do. She kept him grounded.
He looked for the bond where he could always feel it and it was there. He didn't try to contact her. There was always a chance his father or the Emperor would sense it. He would have to wait and hope she came back in time too and would contact him when it was safe. Till then he would use is knowledge and help his Uncle improve the farm so when he had to leave his Aunt and Uncle will be able to afford enough droid's to help or his Uncle could hire some one.
Another thing he had to figure out right now was Obi-Wan Kenobi. Did he tell the Jedi Master or not. If he told Ben would he need to tell his Aunt and Uncle so he can train when he had free time. He could trust them, it might even help when Mara showed up, assuming she did. He heard is Aunt get up and started getting ready for the day. He knew his Uncle would be up in a minute.
Luke got up and got himself ready to start his life over. Walking in to see his Aunt and Uncle at the kitchen table he walked up and told them "Uncle Owen, Aunt Beru we need to talk and you might want to contact Obi-Wan Kenobi."

Mara Jade Skywalker was not a happy person. She woke up to find that she was in her 12 year old body and stuck training to be one of the Emperor's hands. She was not sure how she ended up back in the past but knew she would use her future knowledge to help bring the Empire down. First she needed to get to Luke. She was sure he was back too since she could feel her bond. To do that she would have to play along till she could arrange it. She had a plan.
She would hack the Imperial computer network and move some credits around to a private account she could access. She also needed a ship. As much as she loved the Shadow. She needed a ship that would not be noticed. So she needed a YT-1300. She would have it modified heavily. She also would try to copy all the files she could. She would need the ship first. With that she got started. Luckily she had another two years before the Emperor forced the force bond and sent her on her first mission..

Over the next year Both Luke and Mara did all they could to stay invisible to the Emperor and Vader. Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru took the news better then he thought. Kenobi had been a little skeptical but in the end had no choice but to believe Luke.
Luke worked to fill the holes in his knowledge of the force as well has help his Uncle improve the farm. He also worked to get his body in better shape. A few times over the year he felt Mara brush up against his mind but never tried to talk with him. When ever she did he would brush her back and try to send his love for her threw the bond.
Mara over the next year had transferred over 10 million credits to a private account without being caught. Imperial security was really bad if you knew how to get around it like she did. Once she had the credits she bought a YT-1300.
It was different then the Falcon and in twice as good of shape. The cockpit was not to the side but between the forward pylons. She also had proton torpedo launchers instead of concussion missile launchers. The shield, weapons, communications have all been upgraded. Her Hyper drive was faster then the one the falcon had as well has the sub-light engines. The computer systems, ship electronics and sensors had been upgraded. She even add electronic counter measures so that it would be harder to see the ship with sensors. She had the starboard hold modified. It had a first class aid station. The rest was a secure computer data base she stored all the data she copied from imperial files. The galley/lounge area plus all the crew quarters updated and comfortable. The Captains quarters were luxurious by freighter standards. She also had hidden compartments for weapons. It also had the only terminal that could access the computer data base in the starboard hold.
Mara was now ready to leave and disappear. She had a virus that would erase all her data first before erasing other data in the Imperial computer system. She had heard the Emperor and Vader were both off planet.
It was just past mid night when she snuck out of the Imperial Palace and headed for where her ship was docked. It took a hour as she wanted to make sure she was not being followed. When she got there she made sure that the ship had not been messed with since she last made a trip to check on it. Boarding the ship she dropped her personnel gear off in her and Luke's quarters. It took her another 30 minutes ones she took of to pull the levers back to engage the hyper drive. Taking a deep breath she reached out and spoke to her husband for the first time in a year. "Luke I am on my way. Should be there in a little over a week." She felt his relief threw the bond. "I am so happy to hear that. I have missed you so much and have been worried some thing would go wrong and you would have been discovered." "I know Luke, I have missed you so much. I love you Farmboy." "I love you too, see you soon."

Over the next week and a half Luke meditated a great deal. Ever since he and Mara got together they never where apart this long. His Aunt just gave him knowing looks and even his Uncle chuckled at his nervousness at seeing Mara again. Mara had been good about checking in once a day. Luke had told her to land at Kenobi's place that they had a place to hide the ship there.
Luke was at Kenobi's place standing outside an entrance to a hanger bay that he, Kenobi and his Uncle had carved out in the cliff face next to Kenobi's home. At the time Luke did not know for sure he would need it right away but knew Mara had to get here some how and figured she would want to fly her own ship to get to Tatooine. He smiled as he saw the YT-1300 approach and reached out with the force and felt a familiar presence.
Mara felt Luke and then seen him standing there waiting for her. She had her own smile plastered on her face. As she came towards the entrance to the new hanger bay she slowed to a hover then followed Luck in. The tunnel went back farther then she thought it would. When she entered the bay she saw a couple land speeders parked and some other equipment needed to maintain ships. She landed the ship where Luke indicated the shut down. When she walked out of the cockpit she told her R-2 droid Little Trouble to run diagnostics on the ship.
Luke waited for the boarding ramp to lower. It was a few minutes later the ramp lowered and standing at the top was a 13 year old looking Mara. Mara came down as Luck walked up when they met they took each other in their arms and kissed for the first time in a year.
Well Luke and Mara are back together. Now they need to decide what comes next.
