A short time ago, in a farm-house not so far away...

Who: The Skywalker Family, immediate and extended and any close friends.
What: An evening with the family
When: August 4th
Where: Skywalker Ranch...or...something
Summary: Luke and Ami bring everyone over for a Sunday thing.
Rating: H is for Heartwarming


It's a bit of a monthly tradition, and has been for some time. The first Sunday of every month is the day the entire family gets together for an afternoon and has a nice dinner. Some might call the family a bit old fashioned, but it's just something that they do and have for as long as any of them can recall. It's never a fancy thing, but then does it really need to be? It's about the warm, fuzzy feeling of being surrounded by relatives and friends, sitting out on the porch and watching fireflies, and relaxing.

Food's been left to the people who can actually cook, because let's face it: Luke takes after his mother and Grandma Padme was not known for her fried chicken. But there's plenty of it. Chairs are set up on the large back porch so the weather can be enjoyed and tea along with a cooler of glass-bottled Coca-Colas, a bit of a splurge for the end of summer.

Everything's set to be a fairly nice afternoon and evening, provided the mosquitoes aren't too bad anyway.

They can switch to baseball after if Luke would rather, but Chouji picked up the football on instinct. He's pretty sure he's spent far too many hours at football practice lately.

Having caught the ball, he snaps another throw toward Luke. "I'm glad the game wasn't today. I wouldn't have wanted to miss seeing the whole family."

The dance, of course, is tonight, but Chouji doesn't need too long to get ready. If the homecoming game had been the same day rather than already over and done with, Chouji would have had to choose.

The comparison catches Chouji off-guard, but he smiles. "Thanks. We practiced a lot."

Tossing the football back, he says, "I know I've been busy the past month or so. I hope I haven't been missing too much work around the farm. You'd tell me, right?"

He laughs. "Yeah. We have a little while longer till the worst of harvest season hits us."

As he throws it back, he thinks of another conversation he's had recently on the subject of the farm, and says hesitantly, "Hey, Luke?"
