There were many things that Anakin 'disliked' about Tatooine. The Jedi would categorize it more on the lines of hate, but he knew that hate was something he was supposed to not be capable of. So it was safe to say that he 'disliked' Tatooine very much, for many reasons.

It was a rotten dustball of a planet with nothing but misery to offer its inhabitants, and Anakin always felt that out of all the outer rim planets it was worthless. It didn't have very many resources to offer to the galaxy as a whole. Other than smuggling, and any other criminal aspect of the planet, the only reputable job was moisture farming.

If Anakin was ever going to make a list of all the reasons to never come back to this godforsaken planet he would have a lot of examples. Obviously the death of his mother would be on the top, but coming in second would have to be all of the sand. The sand got everywhere! It got in his pants, in his hair, in his eyes and his mouth. There was no escaping worst offender of getting sand everywhere would have to be when one little gust of wind became too big for its own britches and started a ridiculous sandstorm.

Anakin 'disliked' sandstorms almost as much as he 'disliked' Tatooine. Sure it was a sandstorm that let him really get to have his first conversation with Padme. That was something he was grateful for, but other than that sandstorms were just a really big nuisance and made daily life rather difficult on a desert planet.

Truthfully after all the mess that Anakin had just went through, a sandstorm was the last thing he want to deal with. Especially with a padawan who'd never really been in a desert before, let alone a desert planet.

Unfortunately said padawan had picked up the communication link while Anakin had been finishing up his discussion with Jabba. Apparently Ahsoka had happily inform the clone troopers that it was okay that they messed up the when they calculated the pick up coordinates, and landed their ride home about three miles off target. She apparently told them that they as two functioning Jedi who were perfectly capable of simply walking the distance from Jabba's palace to the ship.

On any other planet Anakin would've been totally okay with that. Three miles was in fact not a big deal and having completed their mission it would be nice to get to know Ahsoka. A little small talk and without life threatening situation happening all around them while doing it. So they packed themselves up, Ahsoka said a quick goodbye to the baby hut and the two Jedi set out to started their walk towards the ship.

The thing was that this planet was in fact Tatooine the planet that literally was the bane of his existence. Anakin knew at once when he felt the strong gust of wind hit his face that what was left of their now two mile walk would be hell.

Silently, as not to alert his padawan, Anakin looked in the direction that the wind was coming from, and he could see the dark outline of the sand clouds gliding rather quickly from the west. He knew that they were going to be hit and there was no getting out of it. They would never be able to make it back to Jabba's palace, let alone reach the ship. So making a quick decision Anakin yelled.

"Ahsoka, I want you to start making a large hill of sand as quickly as you can." The young girl stopped in her tracks and looked at him as if he lost his mind.

"What? Why?" Huffing irritably, he stated.

"A sandstorm is coming and it looks like it's going to be a big one. I'll contact the clone troopers, and tell them to bunker down too."

"okay master, but why do I need to make a big hill of sand to counter a sandstorm," Anakin saw that the girl still looked very confused as she asked him her some form of pity for her he answered.

"Because we don't have goggles to protect us from blowing sand. We could shield our faces with our arms so that the sand doesn't get to our noses, but then we would also need to wrap a piece of cloth tightly around our heads to protect our eyes and ears." Scratching his arms Anakin continued, "Look at us we don't have much cloth except for our backpacks. But do you want to walk around with a backpack on your head?"

Looking sheepishly at the ground, Ahsoka answered.

"No master, but why do we need to make a hill?"

Looking in the direction of the sand clouds Anakin answered "we are on flatland right now and there is nothing suitable to hide behind so we need to get ourselves as high off the ground as we possibly can. The higher up we are the less intense the sand is." A smile kept on his face " The less intense the sand is the higher, chances of us living are." Ahsoka straightened her back smiled at him

"Right master, I'll make the biggest best hill ever." Anakin watched as the girl used her force abilities to start moving the sand into one giant pile.

" If you find any rocks put them at the top so that we can sit behind them." Anakin turned around just in time see Ahsoka as she smiled and did a small salute in Anakin's direction, showing that she understood him.

Anakin waited for Ashoka to turned back towards her work, before he activated his communication device on his arm. It took him no time at all to explain the situation to the clones. All of whom were very adamant about coming get them before the storm hit. Anakin simply explain to them that flying in a sandstorm was just an extremely bad idea in general, and that he and his padawan would be fine. This was not his first time in this sort of situation. In the end the clones reluctantly agreed with Anakin.

Turning off his communication device, Anakin went over to help Ahsoka lifting as much sand with the force as he could to help make a giant hill. Luckily while they were distributing the sand to its new location, the Jedi were able to find a set of giant old bones from some long forgotten carcass. They used to tie Anakin's outer layer of his robe across to make a makeshift cloth screen to hopefully counteract the airborne sand.

When everything was done the wind had really started to pick up. Anakin knew that they were about ready to be hit. He estimated that they had to three minutes tops to get out of the way of the storm. He grabbed Ahsoka's hand and pulled her up their makeshift hill.

The two Jedi hid behind the cloth screen just in time for the first wave of sand clouds to fall over them. Within seconds the entire area was covered in a sea of dark red. It was impossible to see anything.

There was nothing but darkness. The sand was whipping all around them at the mercy of the high winds. Anakin pull his undershirt over his nose and mouth. He tried to guided Ahsoka so that she could bury her face between the cloth screen and his back so that it might help protect her from most of the sand. He watched as the young girl pulled away from his touch simply bringing her hands to cover her nose and mouth as she shook her head no.

They stayed like this sitting, next to each other in the red darkness of the sandstorm, with nothing but the howling winds to hear. It was a surreal experience. Strange to both Jedi who were all but strangers just a few days ago. The wind grew louder and the sand blew harder but still they sat quietly, waiting out the storm.

It was because of the quiet that Anakin heard the cry. He would've never picked up on it if he was not so in tune with his surroundings. At first he thought it was just the wind playing tricks on him, so he ignored it he continue to concentrate on keeping his breath even. Then cry came again and this time sounded like a child.

He saw Ahsoka's eyes sharpen as she turned her head in the direction of the sound. He let himself follow her gaze to see a small dark figure crawling towards them. Without missing a beat, Ahsoka slid down their makeshift hill towards the small figure before Anakin could grab onto the back of her clothes to stop her.

Anakin didn't sense anything malevolent, but he knew you could never be too sure when it came to being on Tatooine. While he was all for jumping into the unknown, Anakin didn't trust himself on this planet. He tried to keep his eyes on the dark blurry shape that now was his padawan, but the sand picked up causing him to lose track of her.

Using the force the young knight tried to her find location. When Anakin found her force signature he let out a sigh of relief, noticing that it was rather close to him. Unfortunately, as quickly as he found the relief he lost it, because he noticed that standing right next to her was another force signature. One he did not recognize, yet it seem familiar to him.

It was like a beacon of light in the darkness of the storm. The signature made his heart flutter and he had no clue why. It felt like a mixture Padme and his mother. It was like the force was singing to him. The feelings the force was sending to him where of both joy and sadness at the same time. It was a feeling he had never felt before, and one he knew he would never really get tired of. Anakin knew without a doubt that whoever the being was, they would be important to him and his future.

As the force signatures of Ahsoka and the unknown person grew nearer, Anakin notice that the crying got louder. By the time Ahsoka was once again in the safety of their makeshift cloth sheet barricade, Anakin could clearly see that the wonderful force signature belong to a little blonde haired boy who was crying his eyes out. The little boy was covered in dirt, his closing seemed to be tattered and his entire body seem to be red.

Feeling a strong sense of protection wash over him, Anakin reach for the pack that had recently been carrying the baby hut on their journey. He opened the flap and lifted the bag in the direction of Ahsoka. She quickly understood what to do as she lifted the young child up and put him into the opening. Anakin covered the flap trying keep out anymore sand from getting into the little boy's lungs. The older Jedi silently turned back to his original position while he hugged the pack carrying the precious child to his chest. He could feel Ahsoka giving him a concerned look.

The two Jedi could hear the child crying. Both knew that they were unable to give him the medical attention he needed at this point in time and it would be best if they would wait out the storm. Both of their hearts clenched in pain as they felt the force surrounding the young child sending out distress signals towards them. They sat there for what felt like hours, listening to nothing but the howling of the wind and the crying of the child which slowly turned into whimpering, and then finally into quiet. Then as quickly as the storm came it was gone.

The desert were once again quiet, the twin suns was once again out in all their intense heat and glory. None of that mattered, all that the two Jedi cared about was that they had survived the sandstorm.

"So what do we do now?" asked Ahsoka. Anakin let out a huffed laugh

"We get back to the ship." Anakin lifted the flap of the pack to see that the child had fallen asleep "Maybe get this kid some medical attention before we bring him back to his parents."

The knight looked up from the sleeping child to see the look of concern on his padawan. "I feel the force all around him." She looked down at her hand "It's really strong."

"Yeah I feel it too." replied Anakin.

Anakin watched as Ahsoka slowly stood up and started to dust off her clothes. He silently followed her lead and did the same before swinging the pack over the shoulder, instantly finding a strange sense of comfort in that extra weight on his back.

"We should take him with us master. He belongs of the Jedi" Ahsoka said as she slid down there makeshift hill.

"We can't just steal children Ahsoka."

Anakin watch as the young girl huffed irritably as she walked in the direction of their ship. "He was out in the sandstorm obviously his parents are either dead or they don't want him."

"We don't know that for sure." Was his levelheaded reply making Anakin feel like Obi-wan would be very proud of him.

A look of irritation filled Ahsoka's face as she huffed and turned away from Anakin quicken her pace.

"You know I don't like it anymore than you do." Said Anakin trying to calm her down. " I feel like he belongs with us too."

"Then why don't we just take it with us." Came Ahsoka's indignant reply.

"Because that's borderline kidnapping," huffed Anakin "and it's wrong."

Ahsoka made no attempt to hide her irritation with Anakin as he could feel her dislike of the situation through the force. Not wishing to irritate her anymore than she already was, Anakin decided that the rest of the walk should be conducted in silence.

It took them no time at all to reach the starship where the clones were outside trying to remove as much sand from the ship as possible.

"General it is so good to see you were worried that you wouldn't make it." Said the highest ranking clone to Anakin.

"Thanks Rex" Smiled the knight upon being greeted by his friend. " Unfortunately we have a bit of a situation that will probably delay us from take off." Frowning the clone followed both Anakin, and Ahsoka on board the ship.

Anakin slowly removed the backpack from his person and set it down on a table as he turned to face Ahsoka. " I need a medical Droid." He stated calmly towards her. He watched as she shook her head affirmative and walked to the back of the ship.

He opened up the backpack to reveal the small blonde boy to the rest of the crew. Anakin's eyes swept across the room as he took in all of the different reactions from the clones, most of them being concerned and curiosity.

Anakin carefully took the small sleeping boy out of the backpack and placed them on the table. Getting a better look at the child he could clearly see that the boy had severe sunburns all over his body. Luckily he could tell that they would not be severe enough to scar, but he knew personal experience that they would be irritating for a good long while.

"Sir. what are we to do?" Asked one of the clones.

Anakin looked up towards the clone that had asked the question. He's took a moment to breathe before he answered. "As of right now we're gonna take a DNA test, and try and find the kids parents." He let out a sigh and look down at the child's once more. "We will play it by ear after that."

The crew waiting in silence around the sleeping little boy as the medical droids was finally located and brought to the front by Ahsoka. Anakin watched as the young girl huffed irritably and flopped down in one of the chairs next to the table. One of the droids took a blood sample, and the other started to apply a white cream all over the boy's body.

The cockpit was relatively quiet as everyone waited for the results of the DNA test so that they might find the parents of the boy and bring him back home. All the while the little boy slept completely oblivious to the world around him.

"Unfortunately the DNA sample only matches one other DNA sequence in my databases." Stated the droid breaking the quiet that field the ship.

Seeing that the droid with not going to reply on its own Anakin prompted the medical droid to continue its analysis " okay who's is it."

The medical droid turned its head to the side so that it was facing Anakin before saying " Why you're master Skywalker." Was the monotone reply.

" What?" Yield Anakin followed by half of the crew and Ahsoka.

The medical droid was about to answer when the sleeping boy woke up from all the loud voices that had just assaulted his ears making him burst into fresh tears. Anakin instantly rush to the small child to try and quiet him down, but the little boy was having none of it. If anything the fussing made him cry louder.

Sighing and defeat Anakin picked up the little boy before turning back towards the medical droid. "What do you mean his DNA matches mine, that's just impossible." He pointed his finger towards the the medical droid before considering "I think you're malfunctioning. I demand you do a diagnostics as soon as possible and re-evaluate the sample."

The medical droid stepped back and raised his hands up in the air. "I say sir. there's nothing wrong with my programming, I ran the sample twice before I revealed the answer there's no mistaking it that child is related to you" after stating his peace the medical droid quickly walked out of the room leaving the secondary medical droid standing there in a daze of confusion before slowly following his companion out of the cockpit.

"That's impossible." Yelled Anakin over the crying child.

"Master, didn't you say that you used to live here?" asked Ahsoka.

Irritably Anakin turned to look towards Ahsoka "Yes I used to live here but the only blood relative I had was my mother." letting out a sigh and putting the child on the back he continued. "And she died a year ago."

"Do you think she could've had another child Sr.?" Asked one of the clones.

"It's possible." Anakin shrugged his arms before continuing. "She did get remarried. I just don't think so." Turning back he looked at the child "she was in her late 40s and her husband never mentioned it." He saw that Ahsoka was sending him a stranger look from the corner of his eye.

" You know Sir. there's cases of women having children up into their 60's." Stated one of the clones sitting to the far left. Grabbing every ones attention at once.

Ahsoka let irritation fill her face as she swirled around in her chair. "So it's completely possible that he could be your brother and no one mentioned it."

There was silence in the cabinet as the Little boy finally decided that he was done crying and was slowing down his breathing so all that was heard was his hiccuping.

Anakin finally let out a breath of air before saying. "I'm pretty sure it would've came up in conversation, this doesn't seem right."

"Look he's obviously related to you, the droid said so." stated Ahsoka with conviction in her voice. " Maybe her husband just did not want you to know about him."

"Or the droid could be malfunctioning! He's not the one that is normally assigned to my ship." stated the knight as Ahsoka stared him down. A long period of silence fell over the ship as the two Jedi had a battle of wills.

"Fine" said Anakin admitting defeat. It was not worth the fight but mostly the force was singing at him to let these people believe what they wanted. he turned to the little boy, who was now looking at his surroundings in wonderment.

"What's your name." Asked Ahsoka pushing her way into the center of the boys vision.

Anakin watch as the little boy gave a timid smile up at the girl before replying in his soft quiet voice "Luke Skywalker."

.:.:.(tdc).:.:.

AN: Because honestly it's so much easier to believe that you have an unknown brother somewhere than it is to believe your son traveled from the future.

This was written because recently I've been watching a lot of clone wars on Netflix and well I love baby Luke so this is a combination of that.

Anyway I need your help on how you would like to see this story end honestly I have no clue and I'm OK with any of these.

1. Luke never finds out he's from the future and ends up watching his 'big brother' fall to the Darkside. Luke is raised in the by Darth Vader.

2. Luke never finds out he's from the future and fixes everything that goes horribly wrong in the past by just being cute and adorable.

3. Luke ends up going home to the future

and everything that happens in new hope happens the exact same way

Luke ends up going into the future where he is met with his dad, mom and sister and they all live happily ever after
