First I have to thank the many people that read until now. I've never imagined having so many readers, it's incredible! I hope you really enjoyed reading it and had a good time, maybe forgot the troubles of life or something; It's one of the reasons I love fiction in general.

Second, I have to say that... Writing is a damn hard thing! I love it, but it's hard. I spent many days trying to figure out a good ending and, well, while it wasn't what I expected, I think for my first fanfiction its something. :) (Take it easy on me :P)

And finally, for those that enjoyed my story or how I write, I don't plan to stop here. I can't promise when I will return with new stories for you to lose yourself into, but I'm NOT stopping here, and I do plan to bring back Ahsoka and Anakin, maybe even as Vader. But again, can't make any promises for when.

P.S.: If you find some words spelled wrong or anything related to grammar, let me know so I can fix it! English is not my native language and writing is helping me improve it.

Epilogue

Walking from a side to another, Anakin Skywalker was impatient.

"Where are they?" He growls.

His apparent anger was evident as even with his new prosthetic legs, the stomps on the ground were louder; those limbs a result of constant research, were able to resemble the organic ones and give back even more movement and feeling, especially to his arms.

"For the last time, where are they? It's late!" Anakin exclaimed.

"Calm down, Anakin, you'll probably disturb the whole temple like this… Look, they're fine!" Ahsoka Tano said. She had now bigger montrals and longer lekkus, "We are both training them, so have some faith."

"Aren't you worried? They're so young, and we don't even know where on the planet they're roaming on…" Anakin countered while running his hand from the top of his heads to the back of his neck.

Ahsoka laughs briefly, "Of course I'm worried, I think anyone in our place would be. It's just, we can't keep them here all the time, they need some independence too!" She explained.

Anakin approached Ahsoka and grab both of her hands, each in his. He stares at her, analyzing her features, but mostly fixating on her eyes. Blue, just like his. Anakin sighs and tightens his grip, "Sometimes I forget how incredible you are. How much you've changed over the years."

"We both did," Ahsoka replied while giving a warm and soft smile back at him.

"You're right, we can't keep them on the temple all the time." Anakin said, "But they will have to ask us first, AND, for this time, they will be grounded." He concluded.

Ahsoka smirked, "Deal."

She trades places and takes hold of Anakin's hands. She smiled while looking at his hands, always reminding her that he didn't have to suffer anymore, that the remnant of that painful past was no more. She caresses the back of his hands with her thumb and then looks straight at him.

"I still can't believe it happened…" She blushed.

"Well, I do!" Anakin replied while chuckling, "And they can't complain, after all, they let us stay in the same room."

Ahsoka open her eyes wide, "ANAKIN! Don't talk like that… This is so embarrassing!" She exclaimed while softly hitting his chest with both her hands.

They both laugh watching each other.

"What I'm trying to say is, I've never imagined that we were going to… become parents, and so soon…" Ahsoka explained, "Even after all these years, I still can't believe it. I still imagine that, If I had left that day, everything would be so, so different."

"I don't know what gave me the strength to confess that day to you, Ahsoka, maybe Obi-Wan and the others are right, and the Force indeed does work in mysterious ways," Anakin said.

Before they could continue the conversation, a young Jedi Padawan had entered the room, "Uh… Excuse me master Skywalker, master Tano… There's been an important message, the council's meeting was rescheduled for ten minutes from now. You two should head there."

"You know…" Anakin started speaking while running his hand over his face, "I always wanted to be part of this, but now, with these endless meetings, it's so damn tiring." He concluded.

Ahsoka laughed, "I know how you feel, but it is our duty now." She replied and then look back to the Padawan, "Thank you, we are heading right away."

"Yeah…" The Padawan said with an awkward smile and rubbing the back of her neck.

"Is something wrong?" Anakin asked.

"I was planning to tell you guys after the meeting but… Er… Two Kyber crystals from the expedition with the younglings to Illum are missing since they're separated by name…" The Padawan was trying to explain awkwardly.

"By the Force…" Anakin brought the palm of his hand to his face.

Ahsoka giggled while looking at him.


Through the forest of Tython, a small child runs between the trees and bushes; Wearing a gray robe and marked by its auburn hair that ran down his ears.

"Leia, wait for me! You're too fast!" He shouted.

Just ahead of the boy, there was the little girl, leading their charge; wearing a white and thinner robe and her hair curled like little buns on each side and of the same color of the boy.

"I'm here Luke! Just keep going straight!" She replied.

There were the twins, humans like their father, but their hair was colorful enough to show who their mother was, a resemblance of the sunset and of the autumn.

The boy was panting a lot, he had been running for a while. He decided to slow down and follow the trail as his sister wanted to.

"I just hope… It was… A good… Idea." Luke was mumbling while trying to catch some air.

After walking a little more, he had reached Leia, who was standing there, frozen, admiring something.

"Leia? What's wrong?" He asked

"IT'S TRUE!" Leia shouted, "LOOK!" And the girl points to a strange construction.

Ruins of an ancient building, built in disguise like a giant rock but in open field, with its entrance only reachable by an almost entirely broken stairway.

"But it's just a ruin. Do you think it will work?" Luke asked while approaching his sister.

"Only one way to know!" Leia replied while taking Luke's hand, "Come on! Let's find out!"

Leia pulled her brother, and both ran as fast as they could. The twins aimed for the stairs, and together, they went up. Thanks to some of the Jedi training, they managed to avoid the weak spots.

It didn't take long to reach their destination, soon the children had reached the top, the entrance to the ruin.

They had frozen, their eyes were now wide open.

"We have found! IT'S REALLY HERE!" Leia shouted, releasing Luke's hands and raising both her arms in the air with her statement.

"This is so cool. We discovered this alone, with this we are one step closer to becoming Padawans!" Luke added.

"Let's hope that dad doesn't get too mad at us for this. Come on, we should go back now." Leia said.

"What? Go back? Sis, this is THE Forge! Here, is where all the lightsabers were built in the past." Luke exclaimed, "We can't go back now!"

He then proceeded to take a few electronic pieces from his pocket and put in the middle of the machine.

"It's your turn now." He said while giving Leia some space, "Come on! I know you brought them too."

"Luke, this is crazy, why do this here? We're already building them tomorrow." The girl retorted while holding her arm with one hand.

"I know! But think of how they will see our determination when we get there with BOTH the finding of the Forge AND a new and working lightsaber." Luke explained.

Leia kept staring for a few moments at the Forge, deciding what to do.

"What about the crystals?" She asked.

Luke had now put a big smile on his face, "HERE!" He shouted after taking both his and his sister's crystal from the same pocket and lifting them in the air.

Leia laughed really loud, "I can't believe it! You thought of everything… FINE!" She concluded.

The boy immediately charged towards the Forge again, putting the crystal together with his lightsaber's pieces. Right next to him, Leia had reached him, and from her hands, she put hers beside Luke's pieces.

"Now… If the files are correct, we just need to use the Force to, like, kick…" Luke said making quotes marks with his fingers, "…the machine, and wait for it to put our lightsabers together. It's actually really simple." He concluded.

"Then let's not waste any more time," Leia said while kneeling before the machine.

Luke did the same as his sister, and now both were side by side ready to start.

Both children rested their hands on their legs and first, tried to calm their minds, feeling it with peace and good thoughts. But honestly, they were both thinking of their parents and the love for them.

As they concentrate more and more, they feel the Forge somehow coming to life, blue and long stripes of light were ignited, and suddenly everything was also shaking up. It somehow startled the children, they had now opened their eyes. The sight before them was incredible, they never saw anything like that, but not just the Forge, the pieces of their lightsabers were floating in the air.

They didn't say a word and also didn't lose the connection with it. There was great power being transferred to their sabers, especially the crystals. It was long after the pieces started to come together. Almost a craftsman work, slowly connecting together, piece by piece, screw by screw and, just in the middle, the little crystal.

An immense flash just before their eyes, they had covered it for not becoming blind. And as they open moments later, their lightsabers were ready, all together.

"We did it…" Luke said with now wide-open eyes.

The siblings turned their heads, looking into each other's eyes. They nodded to each other followed by a satisfied smile.

They extend their arms, with a confident look on their faces and… The lightsabers fly towards its respective owner's hands.

Both Luke and Leia stand up, holding their lightsabers each with both hands.

"Ready?" Leia asked her brother.

Luke nodded back to her agreeing.

Both lightsabers were then finally being ignited. Leia's was blue, and Luke's green.

"Seeing is one thing but holding… Wow!" Luke said while his eyes were shining. He waves his blade a little, trying to understand his new weapon.

"Now we can become Padawans, we will have a master and…" Leia was saying.

"FATHER WILL BE MY MASTER!" Luke shouted, "I will be strong like him."

"You're silly Luke, I doubt they will let us train with our parents… Otherwise, MOM WILL TRAIN ME!" Leia concluded.

"COME ON! Let's test it!" Luke once again shouted but now while leaving the Forge and running down the stairs.

"Wait for me!" Leia said following Luke down.

As they reached the ground again, the siblings started to play with their lightsabers, fighting each other, but precisely with simple movements and not in a way that they could get hurt. With each minute they fought, they started to understand better the weapon.

A loud roar soon echoed through them, coming from the hills. The lightsabers turned off as the children were startled.

Both Luke and Leia look at the sound's direction. An enormous creature that they didn't recognize pierced its angry stare at them.

"RUN!" Leia screamed, turning back at the monster and picking up Luke's hand.

The siblings were now running away together.

"THIS IS INSANE!" Leia screamed.

Thanks to the Force and their early training, they were fast enough to escape. Then, both children started to laugh while running away and also screaming.

They were back into the forest, to later, return to their parents and hopefully, finally become Padawans.

May the Force be with you!

Thank you, for reading.
