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.

She let her dog go and watched him bound off towards her father, then took her chance to look around for any remaining fireflies. They had caught most of them already, it seemed, and most of the slowly blinking lights were much farther off in the distance. She figured they could let them go for now. It was best to leave a few free anyway.
Standing and dusting the grass and dirt off her knees, she headed over to get a closer look at the jar again. "We got an awful lot of them this time."

"We sure did. Now, do you remember what I showed you last time? How should we take care of them?"
Because he's not going to let her just keep them locked up with no idea how to take care of them or keep them alive. All living things deserve a chance for a full life, after all. Life lessons!

"Well, they need leaves and water. And some sugar water so they have something to eat." Just leaves and water hadn't been enough the last time. A bunch of dead fireflies was enough to spark her into learning what exactly it was that the little bugs ate. "We might want to get them a bigger cage to live in, too."
