Nine years Post Revenge Of The Sith:

Tattooine:

Nine year old Luke Skywalker had just snuck into the kitchen for a glass of water. It was in the middle of the night, and he had to admit that he was quite surprised to hear his Aunt and Uncle talking in the dinning room. He was shocked at what he heard his Aunt Beru say, "Owen we can't bury the truth from him forever."

"By the time that Luke is grown up that old Wizard will be dead. He doesn't need to know that his Father was a Jedi Knight let alone the legendary Hero With No Fear who fought in the Clone Wars. If he knows, he will just try to copy his Father instead of settling on the Farm. I will not allow it Beru," stated Owen in anger.

"Owen, Shmi would not have approved."

"You don't know that," Owen replied in anger.

Luke was in disbelief, His Father was a Jedi Knight that fought in the War? His Uncle had lied to him? Luke felt a newfound sense of rage as he turned and left the kitchen in silence.

His Uncle had told him that his Father was a Navigator on a Spice freighter and here he was lying to him? Why did he lie? Luke did not know Luke only knew that he was angered.

Luke silently headed towards his Bedroom in complete anger as he proceeded to pack a small travel bag. He would not stay with his Aunt and Uncle, He couldn't bring himself to do it.

Luke wordlessly took his now packed bag and without a word, he ran towards the Garage where he hoped to find his T-16 Skyhopper.

Luke easily found his T-16 and without any hesitation, he climbed in and flew off into the night not looking back. He was never going back to his Aunt and Uncle's farm. He was done with them.

He sighed, Where Can I go?

He knew that if he went to Anchorhead that he would be found but an idea came to mind, He could go to Mos Espa.

Mos Espa was very far in the north and for whatever reason, his Uncle didn't like to go there. It would be harder for his Aunt and Uncle to find him if he remained in Mos Espa. If he was lucky, he would be able to find a job and save money for the day that he left the planet.

Luke smiled as he flew off towards Mos Espa. He would also sell his Skyhopper and then hopefully find enough money for food if all went well.

An hour later, Luke easily found a safe spot just on the outside of the city where he landed his Skyhopper.

He slept for an hour or two until he felt the twins suns beating upon him through the viewport of his Skyhopper.

As Luke climbed out of the Craft, He noticed and Angry looking man glaring at him, "You are right on my property boy. I don't know who you think you are."

"Sorry Sir I didn't know. I will move out of the way."

The Man nodded as Luke spoke, "Do you know anyone that would buy the Skyhopper from me?"

The man looked at Luke in shock, "It is for sale?"

"Yes, I am selling it. My Parents are dead and I need food until I can find a job."

Luke had in a way told the truth. He had never known either of his parents. His Father was dead and his Mother had died the day of his birth.

The Man smiled, "I will give you Two hundred Credits and not a Credit more. That should help you with food and all."

"Ok," Luke replied as the Man handed him two valid Credit Chips.

The Man smiled as Luke ran off into the city.

He had easily ripped the nine year old off of a vehicle that was probably worth six hundred credits or more, but it didn't matter the boy had probably stolen the T 16 anyway.

Luke walked into the large City Market where he easily found himself a stand that sold Palies that he purchased for breakfast.

As he sat down to eat he noticed a kind looking dark haired man approach him, "You remind me of an old friend that I grew up with in this very city boy. What is your name?"

"Luke, Luke Skywalker," Luke replied.

The Man smiled, "Skywalker? Any relation to Anakin Skywalker?"

Luke nodded, "He was my Father."

"You are his very image. You are smaller than him though. Did he die in the Jedi Purges?"

"I think so. I never knew him," Luke replied.

Luke hated to tell the man that he didn't know what the purges were but, he didn't want to appear to be completely ignorant.

"Well Luke, your dad was my best friend. My Name is Kitster. Is there anything that I can do for you?"

"I am looking for a job. I want to make enough money to get off of this planet."

Kitster smiled, "That is something that I can help you with. I know old Watto needs a worker for his shop. He won't pay you a lot, but it is a job. He also knew your Father. Are you got at fixing things like your Dad?"

"I guess so. I mean my Uncle always had me fix things for him. He said that I did good work."

"Sounds good to me. Come along I will introduce you to old Watto."

Luke nodded as he followed Kitser through the crowded streets and towards a nearby junk shop.

A few minutes later, Luke entered the Junk shop as he heard the sound of flapping wings.

"Ah Kitster what is it that brings you here?" asked the strange tiny creature that appeared before Luke.

Kitser smiled, "You told me to let you know if I found anyone that would work for you. I found Ani's son of all beings."

Watto looked Luke over in shock. It was as though the creature was looking at a Ghost.

Watto laughed, "For a moment, I thought that you were little Ani. You ah look just like your Dad. What's your name kid?"

"Luke, Luke Skywalker."

"Skywalker of course. What ah ever happened to your ah Dad anyway?"

"He was killed," Luke replied.

Watto moved forward and put a hand on Luke's shoulder, "I am sorry kid. I am very sorry."

Luke nodded as Watto spoke, "How about we see what you can do. Go ahead and work on that droid on the counter. If you got ah skills you can work for me. I will even let you sleep here in the shop if you need a place to stay."

"I do," Luke replied.

Watto smiled, "Then stay here you ah will. Go ahead and buy some bedding in the market after work."

Luke nodded in silence as Kitster left the shop.

Luke quickly got himself busy with working on the droid.

After an hour of working Luke spoke, "It is fixed Watto."

Watto looked at the Droid in shock, "What do you ah know kid. You have the skills of your Father."

Luke smiled as he spoke, "How did you know my Father anyway?"

Watto frowned, "Many years ago, I made a bet with Gardulla the Hutt."

"Gardulla the Hutt?" Luke asked in shock.

Watto nodded as he spoke, "I ended up winning the bet and I gained a woman and her three year old Son."

"You mean slaves?" Luke asked.

"Ah Yeah, that woman was your grandmother, Shmi was her name. The boy was Ani."

"My Dad?" Luke asked.

"Ah yeah. Listen kid, I wasn't the best owner. I did treat my slaves better than most. I never did make Shmi sell herself, but I still wasn't the best one. Your Dad did make me a lot of money. Then One day this strange Human Man came into the shop when your Dad was about your age."

"Strange human?" Luke asked.

"Ah yeah. He had some young Woman and some other creature with him. It turned out that he was a Jedi. He needed A Hyperdrive Generator but he had no money. So he offered to supply a Podracer for the Boonta Eve Podrace if I gave him your Dad to pilot it."

"My Dad piloted a Podracer?" Luke asked in shock.

"Ah yeah he certainly did. So I made a bet right before the race that resulted in me losing a lot of money. I also lost your Dad and the Hyperdrive Generator."

"You lost my Dad?" Luke asked in shock?

"Yeah. The Human, he was ah Jedi. He took your Dad Off world and your Dad was trained as a Jedi. Shortly after, I sold your Grandma to a Moisture Farmer that loved her. At that point I just wanted her to be happy. Losing all of that money along with Ani also made me a better being. It made me think more and realize just how wrong I ah was."

Luke was in shock, "Did you ever see my Dad again?"

"Ah yeah, He came here looking for your Grandma ten years later. He was dressed in his Jedi robes. Shortly after that, I was told that your Grandma was dead. She was ah killed by Sandpeople."

"Sandpeople killed her?" Luke asked in shock.

Watto nodded as he spoke, "What do you ah know about the Valley of the Spirits?"

"That there was an Angry Ghost that killed a bunch of Sandpeople."

Watto let out a laugh, "That was your Dad Luke. He killed them for killing your Grandma."

Luke was in shock as the old Toydarian spoke, "Enough of that get back to work that is if you want me to pay you."

Luke shyly smiled in response as he got into work.

As Luke worked, Watto spoke, "Are you good at piloting?"

Luke nodded as Watto spoke, "Then I might be able to find you an extra way to make money."

"Me?" Luke asked.

"You want money to get off of Tattooine right?"

"Yes," Luke replied.

Watto quickly flew into his office. Luke said nothing as he got back to work.

A few minutes later, Watto returned with a piece of paper, "Go to this house after work today. The Fellow's name is Teemto Pagalies. He raced against your Father a few times. Tell him who you are and I sent you. He has talked about training someone to race a Podracer that he bought not long ago."

"I am not my Dad though," Luke replied.

"I am sure that you can do it Luke. Just check it out. If you are good enough, he will train you."

Luke looked at Watto in shock, "Are you sure?"

Watto nodded in silence as he flew off towards a group of nearby customers.

Luke silently worked for several hours while Watto was off helping customers.

At one point, Watto spoke, "That is enough for the day Luke. It is fairly late in the afternoon."

Luke smiled as Watto spoke, "Now go see Teemto I can assure you that it will pay off."

Luke nodded as he left the shop.

Luke silently walked through the streets of the city as he followed the directions that Watto had given him.

He soon found himself at the edge of the city and in front of a middle class house.

He rang the doorbell and within minutes, he saw a Twi'lek servant girl standing before him.

"I am here to see Teemto. Watto sent me."

"Follow me," the girl replied.

Luke wordlessly followed the girl into the house as she led him into a room where a small creature was seated.

"This boy was sent here by Watto."

Teemto looked at the boy in silence before he spoke, "What is your name kid?"

"Luke, Luke Skywalker. I am Anakin Skywalker's son."

Teemto was in shock. At the same time he was glad that he was sober which was something that was fairly rare by his standards.

He looked at Luke in shock, "You look just like him. I raced your Dad. I lost the race that freed him though when some Tusken Shot my Fighter down."

Luke nodded as Teemto spoke, "I am not racing as much because I have plenty of money but I just bought a new Podracer that I would like to enter in the Boonta Eve Classic in a year or two. I will probably race this time but I need a racer in two years. I will train you and we will split the winnings."

Luke looked at Teemto in shock, "Split them?"

"They will come out to a total of five thousand if you get first place. If you are half the human that your Dad was I am guessing that you can do it."

"I know I can."

"Follow me, The Cockpit is currently separated from the engines. I will teach you how to work the controls and give you a few lessons."

Luke silently followed Teemto out to his Garage as he was directed towards the Cockpit.

For the next two hours, Luke trained intensively under Teemto's watchful eye. He was shocked that practice was this hard without being connected to the engines.

After an hour, The Veknoid Racer finally stopped Luke and spoke, "That is enough for tonight. Come back tomorrow boy. We're gonna make a racer out of you."

"Yes Sir," Luke replied.

Luke then left Teemto and headed back towards Watto's shop.

He first stopped in the market place and purchased a few blankets as Watto had told him to do.

Luke then walked back towards the shop with the bedding in his arms.

Upon arriving in the shop, Luke noticed Watto waiting for him.

Watto wordlessly led him towards the back room of the shop.

Luke noticed a bed in the back corner where his travel bag was resting.

"Go ahead and set your blankets up. I brought your travel bag in earlier."

"Ok," Luke replied.

"Luke, I will wake you tomorrow. Be ready."

"I am used to early hours. My Uncle used to wake me for work very early each day on the Farm."

"Is he the Son of old Lars?" Watto asked.

Luke nodded as Watto spoke, "Why did you run away?"

"Because he lied to me."

"About what?" Watto asked.

"He told me that my Dad was a Navigator on a spice freighter."

Watto started choking in laughter as he spoke, "He told you that?"

"Yeah. I heard the truth last night when I heard him arguing with my Aunt. They were talking about telling me the truth."

"So you just are gonna work here now?"

"For now. until I have enough money to get transportation to Coruscant."

"That will take time with your wages kid. Just save half of each week of pay that I give you and you will probably have the money in four years time."

"I just need money for a ticket though," Luke replied.

Watto shook his head, "There will be an entry fee. You will also need a good blaster if you are going to be traveling through space."

"No one will sell to a kid," Luke replied.

"Don't worry about that. I will keep my eyes open and buy it myself. You can simply pay me back. I think about a Month's of pay will get you a good one. We will just shop around for a couple of months."

Luke nodded in silence.

The next morning, Luke awoke to the sound of Watto flying into his bedroom.

"Go ahead and wake up kid. It is 0600. Go ahead and get yourself some breakfast."

Luke nodded as he got up.

He noticed a large bowl of porridge nearby that Watto had no doubt cooked.

He wordlessly started to eat it as Watto moved around the ship preparing to open the place.

After Luke finished his breakfast, He headed out into the shop as he took his place behind the counter, "What do you want me to do Watto?"

"There is a Starfighter out in the yard that needs some work. Go ahead and get to work on it. I can watch the shop. I will let you know when it is time for lunch. What time are you going to go and see Teemto?"

"Same time as yesterday."

"Ok, Go ahead and get that job done."

Luke wordlessly headed out towards the Starfighter noticing a large box of tools that were already waiting for him.

There was no doubt in his mind that He would be able to do the job.

He immediately found the damaged engine and started to work in silence.

Luke found himself enjoying the work.

It was more fun to work on a Starfighter than it was to work on a Damaged Vaporator on his Uncle's farm.

Luke knew that he would spend two years doing this work and he was fine with it. It was better than living on the Farm with his Uncle who lied to him and, his Uncle had no intention of sending him to the Academy. He would get to the Academy faster this way and he would be free of his Uncle. What could possibly be better? Luke asked himself as he worked.

OK that is it. Thank you for reading and reviewing. If you want more please let me know.
