Prologue Part 2

Swords and Stars

It seemed to be a mix between boat and space shuttle, how it was able to fly however he couldn't tell. A door of it opened, and two humans came out. Billy Joe couldn't explain what it was about them, but something about these two didn't look right. They were both very tall and slender, with long brown-grey hair, that had some silver metal pieces and a couple of very small and fragile looking leaves braided into it. They wore grey coats that were longer at the back and and dark grey pants and black leather boots. One of them, the taller one, was carrying a strange looking plant, that had something glowing flying around it. Fireflies? Or pollen? The plant also seemed to move around a lot, it's leafs moving unnaturally. Billy Joe's heart started to race as the two moved towards him, with graceful, yet unfamiliar movements. It looked almost alien to him. They stopped in front of him and suddenly looked at Billy Joe's birdhouse, that was drilled on the railing of his porch, and then back to him. By now all three of them looked confused. "We imagined the residential palace of this planet's leadership to be bigger, but every new civilization brings its own surprising traits" the smaller one said with a gentle smile in an accent Billy Joe never had heard before. They both bowed their heads slightly at Billy Joe, who by now was sure Daisy May has used a wrong ingredient earlier for Dinner. The smaller one spoke again. "Oh, well then". He looked around the farm as if he has never seen corn before and cleared his throat. There was a hint of nervousness, but with a warm smile he began: "Esteemed Leader! We are happy to announce your planet has been accepted into “The Merged Society Of Intergalactic And Extragalactic Universes And Subuniverses Of The United Democratic Humanoid Non-Hostile Planets And Cultures”, short TMSOIAEUASOTUDHNHPAC or even shorter, “The United Society of Space”. Billy Joe looked even more scared and confused. He only looked at them with wide eyes, still unable to speak. “Are you sure that this is their leader?”, the taller one with the plant in its arms asked this time. “It says “The White House” right there!”, the smaller one said and gestured to the birdhouse. The MacMillan's grandchildren built it some years ago. It was a cute but very crooked birdhouse. The wood was white, and some flowers were painted on it. The children decided it would be fun to make a little "The White House" sign on it. “It must be him. This also should be the right planet, and the translators should also work. To my knowledge, most of their species can speak and hear without problems, maybe their leader is just slow?” As the two continued arguing about whether everything worked out according to their plans and protocols, whatever that meant, Daisy May emerged from the main door, stepping out onto the porch. In her hands she held a tray with the freshly baked cookies. Immediately the porch was filled with the sweet warm smell of cookies, chocolate and maple syrup. With a warm smile, she handed the tray towards the two. "Would you like some fresh cookies, young men?" she asked, stopping the argument between the two, and finally making Billy Joe move again. The two strangers looked at her confused but curious and put away their plant, before reaching out to the cookies and cautiously grabbing one each.  So did Billy Joe. Carefully they took a bite and slowly chewed and swallowed their cookies, before taking their second and third bites. Billy Joe, still not really sure of the situation, was just standing there, watching with his unbitten cookie in hand. "Delicious! I knew this planet was worth visiting!" the smaller one said. Hesitant at first, Billy Joe and Daisy May MacMillan started to engage in some small talk with the two. Despite the fear and confusion, they were quickly able to bond over the cookies in the chill summer evening.

And so, in the middle of a cornfield in rural Texas, history was made. The first encounter between human and alien lifeforms was not one of violence, but of warmth and hospitality, all thanks to the sweet innocence of an elderly farm couple and some cookies.

In Skywalkers Apart:

Why doesn't Anakin go overthrow the Emperor sooner? (since it appears that the Empire is still in power around the Rebels time period)

What do Anakin and Sabine think of each other? Bc I think they'd get along quite well 😉💣

What does Anakin think of Chopper and AP-5?

anakin & sabine would get on GREAT (especially bc this is ultimate girldad au anakin) but uh. on the first point. i think you're overestimating anakin a little like you've gotta think abt that matchup

"Back for a rematch, little Knightmare?"

(ID: Kirby series fanart of Galacta Knight seated on a cluster of tall, cracked, geometric stone pillars, framed at an angle with crescent-moon-like rock formations rising behind him as well as a starry sky backdrop. He leers down at the viewer through the cross visor of his mask, his feet crossed and his wings spread majestically, his head resting in one hand, the other held out to lazily nudge the end of his lance, which stands pierced through another pillar below him, his shield similarly embedded in a third pillar beside it. Behind his horns shines a brilliant halo of glowing pink Heart Spears, the pale light that radiates from it erupting in rings of soft flares and leaving all surfaces rimmed with sparkles, as beautiful as it is ominous.

Prologue Part 1

Swords and Stars

In the middle of a golden corn field in Texas, lived Billy Joe and Daisy May MacMillan, a lovely elderly farmer couple. They had a good amount of land, a wonderful old farmhouse, and a big barn that was in desperate need of fresh paint. Most of their days were filled with the sweet laughter of their six small grandchildren that visited often, and the faint echo of Billy Joe’s tractor whenever he was working on the fields around the farm.

On a chill summer evening Billy Joe sat comfortable on his rocking chair on his porch, looking proudly over his fields and finished work. He enjoyed  the humming tunes of his wife coming from inside the house. Daisy May was busy in the kitchen that day. Their grandchildren would visit tomorrow, so Daisy May decided to bake some of her fine homemade cookies. Covered in flour she was humming to a tune, excited to see her youngest family members in the morning. Billy Joe closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He smelled the cookie dough. It smelled like chocolate and honey. Maple Syrup as well? He also smelled the humid air and all the plants around him. He heard the cows mooing in the distance and the loud and rhythmic songs of the cicadas. He heard the soft faint wind, mingling with the soft rustle of night creatures. He was absolutely and completely content  and satisfied at this moment. Their cozy afternoon however took an unexpected turn. Billy Joe opened his eyes again, woken up after the smallest of slumbers, when he suddenly started to hear a noise, which did not fit in, above him. He closed his eyes yet once more, thinking it would be nothing else but an airplane. The noise however got louder, and more unusual than an airplane, so he decided to get out of his ever so comfortable rocking chair,  and take a look at the darkening sky. His eyes widened. There, above him, in the beautiful summer sky in Texas, was a huge wooden, flying object, something Billy Joe had never seen before. "Daisy May, stay inside the house and don’t come out. Call the cops if you can!”, he shouted in a trembling voice, out of fear for himself and his beloved wife's life. Billy Joe was too scared to go inside or move at all. Frozen with terror, he only watched, as the wooden object landed in the cornfield in front of him.
