The park [Friday afternoon]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory had heard a little about what had been going on on the island.

Well, okay. She'd heard that Anakin's first wife was visiting. The dead one. The dead mother of Rory's stepchildren, who were older than Rory herself in one of the timelines to choose from.

So, you know. Typical Skywalker fun.

But Rory herself, as much as she wanted to hide at home and not meet Padmé, was drawn to the island. She took Juliet with her, and got an iced coffee from the Perk before settling in the park. As much as she wanted to meet the first Mrs. Skywalker -- the one who had been married to Anakin, since she'd known an unmarried Padmé before -- her nerves kept her stalling a bit. She fiddled with Juliet's shade on her stroller, she checked her text messages, she even wrote an email to her mother on her phone.

Because honestly, Rory didn't even know where to look. But she didn't want to say she hadn't tried at all, either.

[yeah, if you didn't guess, Rory's going to run into someone. But it's open for anyone who wants to run into Rory and the baby, or Padmé!]

Padmé thought that calling Anakin's decisions "mistakes" was practically quaint. "Leia mentioned that you grew up with Obi-Wan," she said, changing the subject. "Were you happy?"

"I was," Luke said after a moment's reflection, "but I was raised by Owen and Beru Lars. Ben didn't come around much--at Uncle Owen's request, I believe." His lips quirked up. "Uncle Owen didn't much like Jedi."

"There couldn't have been many left," Padmé said softly. "I saw what was left of the Temple after it was all over."

He swallowed hard. "I'm the only one left now," he admitted, "but Fandom has given me hope. If Jaina and Ben are Jedi years from now, I must do something right."
