Back at the cottage, the three men were going about their daily routine. Yoda was standing on a wooden stool at the kitchen table, a variety of vegetables being sliced with a knife that was levitated with the Force. The vegetables raised off the surface of the table once cut and whisked themselves into a salad bowl.

A feather duster moved almost on its own. Obi-Wan twirled his fingers, guiding the duster, as he sat on the opposite side of the room, a book in his other hand.

Luke was putting the dishes away, having dried from being washed earlier this morning. He did this task by hand.

"Stop!" Yoda said suddenly. The duster halted and vegetables hovered in mid-air. One of Yoda's large pointy ears twitched.

"Come back, she has." He announced to the men.

The duster clattered the floor and Obi-Wan quickly made to retrieve it, stowing it away under the sink with the other cleaning supplies. Yoda waved a hand at the knife, chopping up the remaining veggies quickly.

"Pappa! Uncle! Grandpabby! I'm home!" Beru called.

"Put that away!" Luke hissed to Yoda, motioning to the knife as he grabbed the bowl of veggies off the table.

The door swung open. Beru blew a strand out of her eyes with her mouth, her arms full with the basket of Grava berries.

"Welcome home Beru." Obi-Wan said, settling back into the armchair and propping open his book.

"Mmmm. Eager for that pie, I am!" Yoda said hopping down from the stool.

"I'll get right on it Grandpabby!" Beru said, hurrying over to the sink.

Luke moved out of her way, eyeing her suspiciously.

Beru hummed as she began to rinse the berries in the sink. A smile played at the corner of her lips.

Luke looked over at Obi-Wan, who shared his suspicious gaze.

"Beru...." Luke said slowly. "Did something happen in the forest today?" He asked her.

Beru nearly squished a handful of berries.

"What makes you think something happened?" She asked.

"You're humming inside the house. You never do that." Obi-Wan said.

"Oh! ..... Well.... I suppose I'm just excited for today. You did say we would talk later, right Pappa?" Beru answered.

Luke and Obi-Wan looked at each other again. Yoda just smiled, tilting his head back and forth to the tune that Beru continued to hum as she prepped the berries to be made into a pie.

"That I did...." Obi-Wan said, turning back to his book after giving her one last suspicious glance.

Hours later, the smell of fresh baked Grava berry pie filled the kitchen. Beru set the table for dinner, placing the pie to cool in the center of the table.

"Dinner is ready!" She called to the men.

"Smells delicious, as always." Obi-Wan said to Beru as he took his seat at the table. Yoda sat down before reaching a finger out towards the pie. Beru quickly slapped his hand away.

"Ah, ah, Grandpabby! We save dessert for last." She reminded him. Yoda just laughed, smiling up at her.

Once dinner was finished, Luke reached for the knife to cut into the pie.
