Second Floor Common Room - Later Sunday Evening

The Common Room had been hung with bright streamers and different glittery signs.  One big banner was across the far wall of the room saying "WE SURIVIVED" in big block letters.

There was several different varieties of food below the banner from Chinese to pizza to sandwiches to chips and dip and vegetables along with a big cake from J, GOB with a blue and yellow gremlin on it.

Music was playing, and an air of general celebration - or was it relief - pervaded the room.

"Your dad missed Obi-Wan twenty minutes after he left, the last time he visited," she said.

Luke looked very, very surprised for a second, giving Rory a searching look. "Did my father ever see someone who wasn't alive any more?" he asked.

Rory blinked. "Well...Angel and Vladdie, among the other vampires. And the zombies."

Luke shook his head. "Not like that." He lowered his voice. "Ben was here this weekend."

Rory stared at him, and then immediately reached over to feel his forehead.

Luke tried to look up at Rory's hand, wrinkling his forehead. "I'm not sick."

Rory leaned close, trying to get a good look at his pupils. "Have you played with any magical books recently?"

Luke shook his head. "He was there, Rory. I'm not insane."

"I never said that, honey," Rory said, looking closely at him. "I'm just trying to figure out how."

Luke shrugged. "He said that since the Force was with me, so was he for a short time."

"And you saw him?"

Rory paused.

"Is he here now?"

"Yes, drinking punch over in that corner," Luke said, then giggled. "No, he disappeared after our conversation."

"Did he look old like your version of him?" Rory asked. "What did he say?"

"He looked like my Ben," Luke said, nodding, "and I did most of the talking." He ran a hand through his hair, looking sheepish. "I was a little excited to see him."

"What did you talk about?" she asked with a smile.

"I told him about my training and my friends and Leia visiting and how much you had helped me with my father and about Vader," Luke babbled.

Rory looked panicked. "Did you tell him about me and your dad? I mean, that we were...together?"

"...was I not supposed to?"

Rory facepalmed. "Luuuuuuuuuuuuuke."

"What difference can it possibly make now?" Luke asked.

"He could go tell the ghost of Master Windu, and then Master Windu will just...do a little, 'I was right!' dance!" said Rory.

Luke reached out his hand to rest against Rory's forehead.

Rory frowned at him. "Luke. We kept it secret for like...almost a year."

She smiled a little. "Did he know?"

Re: Mingling

Luke thought back to Ben's reaction. "No." He bit his lip. "I'm sorry."

Rory laughed slightly hysterically. "We win!"
