It was just meant to be a normal supply run...but this is the Ghost crew we're talking about. So of course, it ended with them racing to safety which - for a short time - was a cave....a cave that suddenly produced a large ball of light?! The next t...
Today, Ezra's fourth day at the Skywalker's residence, was a day one would call 'a lazy day'. The weather was terrible - the rain ambushed the plant was so strong and powerful that it felt like thousands of tiny needles attacking your skin, the thunder so loud that no sound proof room could block it's roars out and the lightening striking down every few seconds. Lucky for the small family and their guest, they had nothing to do - other than Ezra returning to the temple later with Anakin who has a meeting with the Jedi council, but both weren't until later on in the day. Right now, Padme was sat on the floor in the living room with the twins, teaching them how to pronounce some of their words better - she didn't want them mispronouncing 'fork' again in front of people. Anakin was working away in the kitchen, cooking up some lunch - cheese burgers and fries for today. And Ezra was also in the living room, sat on the floor on the other side of the room, cleaning an old guitar that the couple had. The twins had wanted specific toys which were stored away in the attic so the two Jedi's ventured up into the dark and dusty room - Anakin made a mental note to have a cleaning droid come over for an hour or two - where Ezra had discovered the unused instrument. Turns out it used to be Padme's but she became uninterested in playing it and placed it in the attic. The place where all unwanted, unused or old things went. The guitar had evidently been forgotten until today; Padme was surprised to see it in the boys hands but smiled as she said he could keep it if he wished. Ezra's smile grew before he finished helping Anakin with hunting down the toys....it took over an hour!! But they did it. The guitar was amazing, it just needed a clean....okay, a major clean.
The food was ready and they all stopped what they were doing to sit in together and eat - the food was delicious of course. Once finished, they decided to leave the dishes for later and joined together in the living room "Ezzy" Luke spoke, catching the teens attention "yes Luke??" Ezra smiled at the child as they all listened "can you really play that gu...that guitar?? And sing??" the little boy asked, struggling with the last word but managing. Ezra couldn't hold back a small chuckle before answering "I can play, but I don't know about singing" back in his universe on Lothal, there was a music stall; the owner allowed the boy to borrow a guitar from his stall and play for credits - he wanted 10 percent of the earnings of course. It was enough for food and medical supplies at least; it saddened Ezra when the stall closed down when he was ten years old. Both twins shared a look of excitement "can you play and sing for us Ezzy?? Pretty please??" the two begged and even used their secret weapon: the puppy dog eyes!! Those things could cast a mind spell on anyone, even a Sith!! "Uhh!! Okay, okay" Ezra laughed, the two adults chuckling as they understood the power their children possessed. Ezra grabbed the guitar and hurried to tune it; he thought of a song and began to play a beautiful piece of music, followed by his voice.

Once Ezra finished, the small family all cheered and clapped - Anakin even whistled. The teen couldn't help but smile and blush "that was amazing!!" the twins screamed in excitement; the two adults agreed, although less loud. "You have a gift Ezra" Padme stated, earning yet a blush "em...thanks" he rubbed the back of his neck. After one more song but without lyrics and a few movies, it was time for the teenager to return to the temple; he was excited that he would see his crew again as he had missed them deeply, but he would also miss the twins and Padme.....well the early jumping wake up calls wouldn't be missed. The teen finished packing his bag before returning to the living room where Padme handed him a bag "what's this??" he asked as he opened it up; they were clothes?! The woman explained how since when she had washed his jumpsuit, it had shrunk, she had bought him a whole new outfit. The jumpsuit was now Luke's. Ezra thanked her before going to change - blue ripped jeans, a white vest top, a green and black check shirt and black ankle boots. Padme had good taste.

Once dressed, the kid made his way to the family who were located near the front door; Anakin smirked at the sight of the boy "looking good Ezra" they all agreed. The Padawan smiled before rubbing the back of his neck "I guess it's time to say goodbye" they nodded; the twins seemed to become teary eyed as they ran and tried to wrap their arms around the other boy. Ezra crouched down and embraced them both "we don't want you to leave!!" they exclaimed, the tears falling "why can't you stay?!". Ezra sighed as he tried to explain "I know, but I have a family of my own that need me" he smiled "and to be honest, I kind of miss them, but I promise I'll visit". Both Luke and Leia held on tightly to the boy "we'll miss you" they cried; Ezra rubbed their backs to ease their sadness "I know, and I'll miss you both too". They released one another when Padme stepped forth for her own hug; she gave the teen a squeeze "don't be a stranger, Ezra" she stated "you're welcome here anytime, as well as your family". Ezra threw his bag over his shoulder after thanking the woman for her hospitality; he and Anakin said goodbye before leaving.
They made their way into the garage, entered the ship and sat down in the cockpit. Half way to the temple, Anakin put the ship into auto-pilot before turning to the teen "hey Ezra" the boy looked over to the Jedi "I know that party we had the other day was...hard for you since your parents were there" Ezra gave a small nod to agree "but...well Padme and I thought you'd want this". The Padawan watched as the man outstretched his hand to reveal a small memory card; the teen raised a brow as he took it "it's has videos and photos of your time with us, like you playing the guitar, you with the twins, all of us together, the party....it also has some of your parents" Anakin explained "when you were with them and the pictures we had with all of the guests". Ezra was shocked but grateful for the memory card "thank you Anakin, I appreciate it...really" they smiled at one another before realizing that they had arrived at the temple.
