Family Reunion
'Mother,' said Zena, and hugged Celeborn Lucian.
'Your father's brother is inside,' said Celeborn.
'My lady,' said Rey, bowing. 'We are here on New Alderaan to speak with the Jedi Council. Since New Alderaan's rebirth, and the establishment of the New Council here after Coruscant's destruction, I have been of the mind to ensure I follow the yearnings of the force. I knew I must visit Tatooine, not just to lay rest to a shadow of my soul. There was something more there. There was a work of the force which comes from days of old. And in your daughter I found that work. I don't understand it yet. The force often works in ways difficult to discern. But she is a child of High Price. This much I know is true. She is a child of High Price. And her father Tyler objects not to me taking her as my Padawan apprentice, but I seek your permission likewise.'
Celeborn nodded, and looked at her daughter. 'It is much to be a Jedi. We will speak later, and I will know your mind.'
'As you wish mother,' replied Zena.
Shortly Alfed Lucian, Zena's uncle, was hugging Zena tightly, and while his breath smelled badly of tobacco, she was very grateful to see her favourite uncle.
'You have grown, Zena. So tall. The last time I saw you rCo knee high, young lady.'
'I remember you though,' said Zena. 'And I look at the family pictures of you all the time.'
'Priceless,' replied Alfred. 'I need a smoke, though,' and he excused himself. 'He should know better for this example than in front of you directly,' said Celeborn.
'Men do as they will,' said Rey, seated on a chair. 'They do not always consider their influence on the young. And when they do, they do not really change their ways either. It is their nature to be brash and brave and bold. They think themselves the hero.'
'My dear,' said Celeborn. 'It is why we admire them so.'
'Perhaps,' said Rey. 'Yet it is the gentler man which wins my heart.'
'And has that heart been won?' queried Celeborn.
Rey looked out the window. 'I can not say,' she replied.
Celeborn looked at the Jedi Knight, and turned to her daughter. 'Choose wisely, should a man desire your heart. Some are champions in more ways than one, and some are the dark side itself.'
'R2 is the only man I need,' said Zena.
R2 whirred, and Zena said, 'I love you too R2,' bringing smiles from Rey and Celeborn.
'It is good to see you daughter.'
'And you too, mother. And you too.'
The End
