Characters: Jagged Fel, Jaina Solo, and pretty much all the normal characters in NJO, plus a few OCs.
Genre: Romance and Adventure
Keywords: J/J
Summary: Well this is defiantly a J/J story. Jag and Jaina go on an undercover mission to find the major bases of the peace brigade. Things don't go quite the way planned. And that's all I'll say for now.
I unfortunately can not take credit for anything but the plot. Star Wars belongs to George Lucas, so please don't sue me, you wouldn't get more then 10 bucks any way.
So with out further ado:

"mmm," Jaina rolled over in jags arms trying to ignore her comm. link.
"Jaina, don't you need to get that?"
"No"
"Jaina, what if it's important?" Jag complained.
"Arrg!" She reached over and grabbed her commlink as Jag laughed, a noise that always made her go weak in the neighs.
"Goddess"
"Great one, General Antilles requests that you and Colonel Fel meet him in his office. I ah…I assume that you can find him?" he asked sounding amused.
"Yes, I think I can manage. We'll be there in 10 minutes."
"Great. Tycho out."
"yea yea yea" Jaina mumbled into Jag's chest while switching her commlink off. Jag laughed again, making Jaina snuggle closer.
"Jaina?" sighing as she pretended not to hear him," Jaina love, come on, we need to go."
"Just 5—more minutes?" she mumbled into him chest.
"Nope, Uncle Wedge wants to see us." He said as he picked her up and cradled he to him walking towards the door, as Jaina screamed in surprise.
"Jagged Fel put me down!"
"Why? You don't like this?"
"No!" she said laughing and thumping him on his shoulder. "No, it's just that we have to go see Wedge."
"Ohhh! Now you want to see Wedge!"
"A-", what ever she was about to say he stopped with a kiss, which she responded to immediately by rapping her arms around his neck and running her fingers through his hair, deepening the kiss. She never wanted it to end, but the fact if the matter was that they were both eventually going to need to breath, which was drawing closer by the second, until Jag pulled away.
Breathless Jaina rasped "You always stop things before they get interesting." She said with all the seriousness she could muster, which wasn't much. He laughed as he set Jaina back on the ground.
/I seem to laugh more when I'm around Jaina; it's a nice feeling. /
"You didn't laugh before?" She asked looking into his pale green eyes that she loved to lose herself in.
"Hmmm? Uhhh! I hate it when you do that!"
Laughing she kissed him on the check and whispered into his ear, "I know." She left him in the middle of the room shaking his head. She stopped at the door and looked back. "Come along colonel, or were going to be late."
"Coming Goddess."
"Come in", Wedge called as Iella jumped off his lap. The door opened to reveal Jaina Solo and Jag Fel.
"Ah, good you're here. Come in, come in" he said gesturing for them to sit. As Jaina sat down in the offered chair she asked, "what's all this all about, General?" She added as if all most an after thought.
"There's no need for titles Jaina, this is an…unofficial meeting."
"Meaning it didn't happen?" Jag asked with an amused look.
"Exactly"
"O.K.—Sure—Wedge, but that still doesn't answer my question".
"Ah, yes well Iella should probably answer that".
At which point Iella took over and started explaining the situation at hand.
Jag had remained relatively quiet taking notes through the hole thing, "So what your saying, is that you want Jaina and me to go to Correlia undercover, posing as a married couple, and meet with a…" he paused as he checked his notes, "Ferion Sybillous, in order to find the locations of Peace Brigade outposts?"
"Pretty much yes" Wedge said with a smug look.
"But why us?" Jaina asked gesturing between her and jag.
"Well", Wedge began, "You both are excellent pilots, both come highly recommended for ground assault and under cover missions. And, Jaina's a Jedi on top of all that."
"Plus, you could both use a vacation. You work to hard." He said with an amused look.
"What?" Jaina began but Wedge cut her off.
"Iella will get you all the necessary information and supplies you'll need. You leave in 36 hours. Any questions?"
"What about the goddess ploy? Or my squadron? Or-"
"Jaina, Jaina calm down. We've worked it all out. The goddess is, being a goddess getting special treatments and such, going on vacation. Were going to spread that rumor around the squadrons just in case there are any spies around."
/Great! Just what I need another reason for people to hate me./
"Kyp is going to take over your squadron for a few weeks. He already knows about the whole thing and agreed. And Jag, well Jag is just going to go missing. We don't think many people will pay to much attention to 1 fighter pilot not being there. No more questions? All right you're dismissed."
As Jaina and Jag left Iella came up to Wedge and he pulled he to his lap.
"You did that on purpose didn't you?"
Wedge just shrugged "maybe".
"You better make sure Han doesn't find out your sending his only little girl out on a undercover mission with only Jagged Fel for company. May I remind you that your brother in law and Han aren't exactly what you would call friends"
"That's why he's not going to find out."
She just shook her head and laughed.
As Jag and Jaina left Wedge's office Jaina, still confused, asked "He did that in purpose didn't he?"
"It certainly seems like something he would do."
"That's what worries me."
Jaina walked down the hall with purposeful strides towards her parent's apartment. She stopped in front of the door wondering what she was going to tell them.
/Hey dad, I'm going on an undercover mission alone with Jag Fel, while pretending to be married him. You know one of your enemy's sons! Gods! What am I thinking! Maybe I should just let Wedge tell them. No. No, I have to tell them. I'm there only child left I owe them this much./ and with the she rang the bell. A few moments later Han Solo stood at the door.
"Hey Dad, mind if I come in?"
"Sure, sure do you really need to ask? Do you want a drink?" when she nodded he went over to the bar and got out two glasses, "So, what's up?"
"Hmm, not much." She said accepting her drink, "uh…I just wanted to let you know that I'll be going on a mission in a day and a half so I'll be gone for a few weeks. I'll probably be on comm. silence so I'll out of touch and I just wanted you know. Yea, so do y'all have any food in this place? The slop they give us at the base can't even be classified as food."
Han just stared at her.
/Oh great! He saw through you/
"Mm hmm, what aren't you telling me?" he said giving her a look.
"Nothing! Nothing!" she said a little to quickly.
/Good job Jay you said that to fast now he knows there something your not telling him. Oh Gods I hate it when he gives my that look/
/Great/ "Daddy!" she started whining, "I can't tell you! You know, military crap. Did I say crap? I meant protocol. I'll be fine daddy. I promise." She said giving him that famous cocky solo smile, which all ways made him give in.
"All right, I don't like it, but all right. Now come on kiddo, I know this great restaurant round the corner." He said offering her his hand.
"Great!" and she took his offered hand.
/That wasn't as bad as I thought./
At 02:30 the special opts docking bay was empty except a single freighter and 4 people.
"You two be careful." Iella said while hugging Jaina.
"We will be. Don't worry, every thing will be all right. We'll contact you as soon as we meet the contact." Jaina said back to Iella.
"Bye Wedge" Jaina said handing her hand out to him. He instead pulled her into a hug.
"Be careful Jaina. Your more of a daughter to me then you know. You mean just as much to me as Syal and Myri. If anything were to happen to you I couldn't forgive myself."
Wedge could see the tears well up in her eyes as she gave him a smile that, to him, looked identical to Han Solo's.
"Don't worry about any thing. It's all going to work out and we'll be back before you know it. I'm a Solo remember? And don't worry bout him", she said nodding in Jag's direction, "I'll take care of him" she added with a wink.
Wedge smiled as Jag came up behind Jaina, "You ready?"
She sighed, "Yea, lets go." She said taking one last look around, then fallowed Jag up the ramp.
Wedge held Iella as they watched their ship left off and shoot of in the night sky of Mon Cal. Wedge didn't say it allowed but, he had a bad feeling about this. He just hoped he was wrong.
