LUKE SKYWALKER WALKED OUT OF THE MILLENIUM FALCON WITH HIS MOTHER.

His actual mother. He just barely understood everything that was happening but he couldn't believe that he was walking out of a ship with his father and sister ahead of him and his mother beside him.

He had his whole family with him and while he missed Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen, he couldn't find ot in himself to stay sad and mourn for them.

Besides, in the long run, they lied to him. Sure it may have been for his protection but they should at least told him something. 

To some level, Luke understood everything and he understood why so he couldn't get the fuming anger that Leia had. But that doesn't mean that he isn't angry at all. 

"Luke?" Luke blinked and looked at Sabé - or rather Padmé, his mother - who was looking back at him, slightly worried. "You alright?"

"Oh yeah, I'm - I'm fine," Luke smiled warmly and Padmé smiled back. She held out her arm and Luke stepped forward, intertwining his fingers with hers. They walked after Anakin, Leia, Han, and Ezra who were leading them deeper into the forest of Ahtohallan. 

Ezra was right behind Anakin who was walking further into the forest as though he knew where he was going. Ezra occasionally glanced back at Leia and Han who were walking together. Luke could be wrong but it seemed as though Leia was brushing against Han every once and a while. 

Luke and Ezra caught eyes for a moment and Luke gave a small pointed look at Leia and Han and Ezra shrugged, rolling his eyes a little. Luke felt as though Ezra was sort of the older brother in all of this. He was the one who was constantly looking after Luke and now a little bit of Leia. He was just about wary of everything and everyone but he seemed to be getting more calm as time went on. 

Luke always wanted an older sibling. He just never expected to have one in Ezra. On the Falcon,  Padmé said that Luke was born first. So in a sense, he was the middle child. Luke had a feeling that since Leia was his younger twin, Ezra had decided to step up and be the older one. 

"What's on your mind?" Padmé asked softly, gently brushing away a strand of blond hair out of Luke's face. 

Luke blinked for a moment. "Oh. Um, I'm just - just thinking about Leia and Ezra." 

Padmé smiled. "You remembered her?" 

Luke's mouth twisted. "That's not really what happened actually." 

Padmé's eyebrows raised. "Oh?" 

"Yeah," Luke unhinged his grip from his mother to twist his fingers with his other hand. "It's - we have some sort of connection. All of us - Leia, Ezra, and I. We - we could see each other but not our surroundings and we can feel each other's emotions and communicate with our minds. We think it has to do with the fact we were all born on the same day -" Luke explained and Ezra suddenly spoke up.
