The flash of recognition made Anakin hug them once more. He whispered something to them, an apology for something. He stood straight as the doctors worked to remove the tubes and cables from both twins. Luke stood, not without great difficulty. His father helped him and Obi-Wan helped Leia so they could both stand.

“I knew this day would come… I just didn't know it would happen when you two were sent on that mission. I shouldn't have been so stupid” Anakin said.

“How- What happened?” Luke asked.

“Well Anakin thought it best you two were sent to Endor to settle some dispute betwe-”

“No, I mean with Kadina,” Luke said.

“...  She's in a maximum security prison on Coruscant,” Obi-Wan answered, “Come… we’ll tell you when we return back home”.

“Where are we exactly?” Leia asked.

“We’re home… on Naboo” Anakin said.

The memories started flooding their minds again. Memories of Naboo, the beach and the fields they used to play in. The sights and smells of the forests and the beautiful architecture. They remembered Obi-Wan's home as well, playing in his family room with Satine and watching performers from the window.

“This might be a bit too much for them right now,” Obi-Wan said.

Luke shook his head, “No… it's just that… “

“We’ll talk after you get yourselves checked out. We wouldnt wnat to leave here if you might be injured" Obi-Wan said.

Obi-Wan and Anakin let the twins get dressed and come out to them waiting by the wall. They were Jedi clothes, Lukes a mixture of his old black style and white accents, much like the style of Anakins robes. Leias clothing was a bit more intricate like something Padme would wear. Except there were hints of strong armor and breathable material fit for a warrior.

Anakin gave them their lightsabers when they walked out, checked out and dressed and they started walking. Immediately knowing where to go and who they knew. It was odd and even odder when Han Solo came out of nowhere to hug both of them.

“You two are alive” He said, pulling back with a hint of a smile on his face, “Was worried about you for a second, kid”.

Another weird thing about this new place. Han. He looked like he had always been from Naboo. There was still that roughness to him, but he was no scoundrel. He looked more like a republic soldier than a scoundrel.

“After Kadina killed you, we had to finish her off ourselves because you two just disappeared. Without a trace. The force brought all three of us back and Kadina was put on trial. She's been imprisoned ever since. The mind control creature was secured by the people of Achu and a lot of things have changed since you two saved me those years ago… but I'm sure you two will start to remember it”.

“It's weird… It's like some of my memories are disappearing to make room for the memories i have here” Leia said, “Still… I'm confused… Why did us dying fix everything?”

“Well the timeline before you came to an end when you saved your father from turning to the dark side. Everything ended except you and Luke” Obi-Wan said, “The force tried to send you back, but because of Kadina… you couldn't. Also explaining your ability to move through time”.

“I suppose in a way, your deaths saved the main timeline” Anakin said, “Kind of like a… reboot”.

“You two had quite the adventure then. You've been out for a few weeks” Obi-Wan said and laughed, “We worried we might have a different beast on our hands”.
