As far as brothers go, Luke and I were pretty much inseparable, especially when we were little. Our days were filled with running amok doing silly (and at least a little stupid and dangerous) things in our backyard. There was this huge tree at the bottom of our driveway; it was the perfect climbing tree, the kind you could actually climb almost to the very top of. We would often hang out up there and make up stories about good guys and bad guys, cops and robbers, spies, etc. One time, however, we were having an epic lightsaber battle with our collapsible plastic lightsabers. I think I was a sith lord and he was a jedi and I was chasing him. He ran to the base of the tree, clipped his lightsaber to his belt (he had ample time to do this because he was so much faster than me), and started climbing tree. Refusing to be bested, I, of course, followed him up there. We got close enough to each other at the top of the tree, drew our sabers, and started going at it. Not only were we sword fighting IN THE TREE, but he was pretending to force push me and I was pretending to force choke him, all while perched on the high branches. Incredibly stupid? Yes. Amazingly fun? Also yes. Par for the course for our friendship growing up? Without a doubt.
