My Other Family: A Star Wars Ninjago Crossover

6. Acceptance

"I...I guess I've told the same story so many times I almost believed it myself." He said with a sigh "I'm sorry" he said again, standing up "I leave you now." As he quietly left the Falcon.

It had been several days since Luke had told his friends the truth about his past, and none of them had bothered to talk to him about with him since. Luke knew that they needed some time to think it over but that still didn't do anything to help his nerves. Even so, he knew better than to push his friends, so he left them alone to think.

To help distract himself Luke decided to work on making some (minor) repairs to his X-Wing fighter, and so far it was helping. Fly and fixing things were two things that always made him feel better and helped him relax, they were both things that he had control over. And when your life was chaotic as a Rebel's was then feeling a sense of control over anything was a good thing. And that's what Luke felt like now, in control and calm.

Well until Han and Leia decided to approach him.

------

Leia walked beside Han as the two made their way over to Luke who was working on his Starfighter with his droid, "Luke?" She question "can we talk?" She asked. Leia watched as her brother paused in his actions before he stood up, and turned to face them.

"Sure." He shrugged walking over to them, the three of them then made their way back to the Falcon. None of them said a word until after they all had sat down inside "okay, what is this about?" Luke asked, getting straight to the point.

"Well," Leia said, "Han and I have been thinking a lot about what you told us a couple of days ago."

"Before you say anything else," Luke said, holding up a hand "just know that I am truly sorry that I didn't tell you earlier."

"Kid," Han said rolling his eyes "calm down, it's fine. We forgive you."

Luke's calm demeanor dropped. "Wait, what?"

"We forgive you," Leia repeated.

"Why? I lied to you."

"Everyone is entitled to their secrets kid we're just glad that you decide to tell us," Han said.

Luke gave a small smile and let out the breath he was holding "thank you, both of you."

"So," Leia said throwing an arm around his shoulders and leading him away "how about you tell me about these friends of your?" She suggests and Luke laughed.

"With pleasure."

It didn't take long before Luke was done telling his sister all about Nya, Lloyd, and Zane. "Wow," she said, "they sound great!"

"They are," Luke said with a smile.

"How long has it been since you've last seen them?" Leia asked him.

"Since I left." He answered.

"Why haven't you've gone back?" Leia asked surprised.

"Well, it's not like I've had the time!" Luke defended "I've been kind of busy training to become a Jedi and helping you with the Rebellion."

Leia frowned "but you've had a whole year since the Empire fell, why haven't you've gone back since then?"

Luke shrugged "I don't know, I guess I wanted to stay to help you and Han out and it's not like I could leave for who knows how long without anyone noticing."

"I guess that's true" Leia admitted, "but now I know and I could easily cover for you if you left."

"Do you think I should go back?" He asked and Leia noded "are you sure you want me to leave you?" He asked, "after all, I only just found out you were my sister and..." His voice trailed off, "I don't want to leave you again."

Leia smiled gently, "You don't have to live there," she said, "you could just go for a small visit then come back, just enough time to catch up on lost time and to tell them that you haven't died yet."

"I guess you're right." Luke laughed.

"So you'll go?" His twin asked.

Luke nodded "I will, not today but soon." He promised.
