"Sometimes there are too many people on this island," Luke admitted. "I think I'll steer clear of big cities for a while."

"I love New York," Rory said, nodding, "but I could never live there. I'm content to visit occasionally."

"How many people live where you're from normally?" Luke asked.

"Stars Hollow?" Rory smiled. "Nine thousand, nine hundred and seventy-three. Or seventy, rather, minus Mom, Luke and me."

Luke smiled ruefully. "Seven times more people than Anchorhead," he said.

"It's still a tiny town," Rory argued. "Wee, wee tiny."

Luke laughed. "There are about 200,000 people on the whole planet, counting the Jawas and the Sand People." He scuffed his boot against the carpet. "I'm a little out of my league around here."

Rory smiled. "Thankfully, Fandom's little, too. Not too scary an adjustment."

"Other than the gremlins and the multiple people who look exactly the same," Luke said, nodding. "What else should I know about Earth that isn't Fandom?"

Rory shrugged. "We have a ton of religions, China is the most densely-populated, and America's the wealthiest country, I think."

Luke wrote it all down. "Thank you, Earthling," he said with a cheeky smile. "We'll start our invasion any day now."

"Hmm, considering how many aliens I know, I think you guys already started," she replied with a smirk.

"But this time we're coming with cameras and amusing sock-and-sandal combinations," Luke said, laughing. "And tentacles."

"Don't forget the ugly shirts," she advised. "And the giant foldy maps."

Luke had a sudden giggle fit at the image of Hutts in giant print shirts demanding their food wiggly and alive. "Talk about culture shock," he snickered.

"No, culture shock is being an Earth girl in your galaxy," Rory said, grinning. "We only have the one species of sentient being. I mean, primates come pretty close, but it's just humans and then millions of species of animals."

"What was the strangest species you saw?" Luke asked, looking interested.

Rory bit her lip, and said, "I have no idea what he was, but there was this guy who owned a diner, Dex? He had like, ridges on his head and four arms. He told me I was pretty and to come back without Anakin."

Luke laughed. "How did my father react?"

"He looked like he swallowed his tongue. Especially when I flirted back, just for your dad's reaction," Rory said, snickering.

Luke laughed harder. "My father got jealous, huh?"

"Jealous and kind of squicked, not that I blame him," Rory laughed. "He was a jealous guy in general, though, yes."

"Squicked?" Luke repeated, looking confused by the unfamiliar word.

"He thought it was icky. Gross," Rory supplied.

Luke's syes sparkled. "Who was he to judge such an obvious love?" he asked. "Terribly narrow-minded of him, really."
