So You Just Met Your Relative From The Future, Friday

To say Obi-Wan looked mildly perturbed to be here with a wholly different Skywalker covering a very strange subject would be... an overstatement. There was a hint of it in the arch of his brow, but that was about it. He strode through the classroom with confidence.

"Welcome," he said, "To this class on a rather particular kind of strangeness that this island will bring to you. As you may know, it is a nexus between various worlds, and... various times. Oftentimes, this simply means you'll encounter people from places you have never heard of. Sometimes, it gets rather more... complicated. Personally."

Ben nodded vigorously. "I'm Ben Skywalker," he said with a tiny smile and a trace still of a Coruscanti accent. "And yeah, I'm one of those Skywalkers."

Sorry, Ashoka's brain. "I'm Anakin's grandson. Luke's son. And Cade's grandfather, which may mean more or less to you depending on where you fall on which timeline."

He spread his hands. "Now if you've been here for more than a few days, you've probably met some future children from possible timelines. You might have met people from your own galaxy but a different time. And it can give you a huge headache, and that's okay. It takes some time for your brain to adjust."

Obi-Wan cleared his throat. "My name is Obi-Wan Kenobi," he established. "The best way to begin preparing yourself for these headaches is to think of the worst," he said. "So I would like you all to give your name, class, and one situation in which meeting a relative - past, present or future - would be very awkward for you, or worse."

"Ahsoka. Surprise grandchildren. In class."

Why, yes, that was an amazing glare being directed at Obi-Wan.

"He's not even a youngling!" If Anakin was going to have grandchildren and not warn her about them, they could at least be small and adorable.

Maybe if Val had actually been there to distract her...

"Not helping, Obi-Wan."

It kind of sounded like the teachers were local celebrities or something, so Mayday was clueless about the importance of being one of those Skywalkers. But the alien girl seemed to be surprised by them, so May figured she would catch on eventually.

"Could've done with a little less." Obi-Wan, your bad example was why Ahsoka was going to sass a Sith Lord in a decade and a half's time.

"I'm Mayday Parker. I'm a sophomore. And, I don't know," Mayday said. "I think meeting young versions of my parents, or my grandchildren or something would be awkward in any situation."

The female clone of the teenaged alternate reality version of her dad was somewhere on the island right now.

"I'm Cosima Niehaus, and I think the most awkward thing would be if you were flirting with them before you realized they were related."

She would soon learn it could get much, much worse.

Velma was another one of those people in the "who are the Skywalkers?" boat. She knew that the Dean of Students was a Skywalker, but...so? At least she wasn't surprised by him having a grandson who knew his own grandson. Alternate timelines and realities were a regular part of the curriculum in the Super Patriots, Inc.

"I'm Velma Martinez, I'm a senior, and dealing with my parents is already awkward. It really can't get much worse by throwing alternate timelines into it."

No, seriously. It couldn't.

FN-2187 vaguely knew who the traitorous rebel Skywalkers were through his History of the First Order module. Same for Obi-Wan Kenobi. Which is why he kept looking around nervously, waiting for someone to reveal this was all a mammoth joke or to be arrested.
