Anakin was about seven when he first got to fly a ship. Well, he was seven when he was first allowed to fly a ship, but he's piloted several times before that. He loved the feeling of seeing everything that made the young boy feel so small, suddenly it seemed like a village was just another handful of sand. And to know that he, Anakin Skywalker could go anywhere in the galaxy was one of the greatest feelings in his 30 years of living. And he couldn't wait any longer until his Children could experience it. And now, after waiting seven patient years, the time has come.

***********************************************************************************************

"Happy Birthday Luke! Happy Birthday Leia!" Anakin, Padme, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, and a handful of other Jedi, Clones and Friends called out as they blew out their birthday cake candles.

"How does it feel to be seven?" Ahsoka asked, smiling down at her young niece and nephew.

"Really really good!" Leia responded, trying to sound confident.

"Yea," Luke said meekly. Despite all the attention, gifts, family and love he was getting, he still knew something was missing. His dad has promised him since he was a little boy, he'd let Luke and Leia pilot their own ship when they turned seven. Luke wanted nothing more than to be up with the clouds, where space was the blanket and Coruscant was the mattress.

The posey continued chattering until Echo looked down to see a concerned Leia, and an even more concerned Luke.

"Hey birthday kids? What's wrong?" Echo said, bending down to reach their heads.

Luke and Leia exchanged glances, before Leia said sadly "Our daddy promised us that when we turned seven, we'd get to fly a ship."

"Oh. Well General Skywalker will remember, trust me." Echo smiled warmly, before heading off to join the party.

Anakin looked down to find two little floofs of hair, blonde and brunette.

"Hey, do you know what time it is?" Anakin announced, smiling widely at his two kids.

Luke and Leia looked back and forth at each other, praying that it was what they wanted.

"I believe two Jedi just turned seven, and you know what that means...." Anakin started drum rolling on the table beside them.

"Pilot ship! Pilot ship!" The twins started jumping up and down, with identical smiles.

"You got it! Come on everyone!" Anakin took his twin's hands as they started making their way to Padme's landing pad. When they got there they saw a ship they never saw before. It was light yellow, with trim that reflected the busy Coruscantian scene. It looked fairly new, and they could tell their father had put a few touches here and there on it. Luke and Leia stopped dead in their tracks, looking it up and down.

"Woah," They said in unison. Never had they seen a more beautiful ship in their seven years of living.

"Well don't just stand there, c'mon!" Anakin gestured over to the entrance, and the trio took to the sky.

And that was the night Luke and Leia First Flied.
