The Park, Monday Evening

[lockestheway]

Portals elsewhere might break, send you to the wrong planet, or leave you hanging; this one was forever faithful to its own schedule.

Sadly, for those denizens of the island who might have grown attached to their children, that meant it was time to say goodbye. The portal popped up blazing purple in the center of the park, calling to those it had taken here just a few days ago.

Time to go, time to go home, children.

[[ for your AU kidlet goodbyes! Sniff. ]]

"Or they thought I was with Jacen," Ben said with a philosophical shrug. "It's okay, Dad. I can take care of myself."

That really broke Luke's heart. "You're ten," he blurted. "You shouldn't have to."

Ben smiled at him. "It's okay. You're being Grand Master."

"I should be being your dad," Luke said. "I can do both."

He crouched down--not far, sadly--and gave Ben a hug. "Tell your dad I said to pay more attention to his family."

Ben suffered through the hug--he was ten, Dad, not a kid--and nodded. "I'll tell him. May the Force be with you."

With another smile he dove headlong into the portal. It was more fun that way.
