What am I?

Luke woke up and looked around his room. Did other Jedi have an empty outer room such as his? Where any of them married? Did they ever have any fun? All questions an none to answer them. Oh look the great Jedi Master's questioning himself ahh sometimes I wish things were different thought Luke to himself as he showered dressed and went out into the morning sunshine. Mornings on YavinIV were always beautiful. He loved hearing the sounds of the forest coming to life. Everything seemed right here. People got along and the empire was all but dead. Then why aren't I happy? Why am I always so miserable? Sure I have friends and family. What more could I possibly want? Thought Luke in exasperation. Ever since Callista left these questions had plagued him. Now that Mara had stepped into his life he was not sure what he wanted anymore. Am I going crazy? Luke silently mused. "Master Skywalker." It was Kyp. "Yes Kyp I'm over here." "The chief of State is on the holonet for you. Isn't that just like Leia? Luke wondered with a smile. She had been keen on calling him lately. Just wanted to say hi. Was all she would say, but he knew what she really meant Are you Okay? Everything going to plan? Any Problems at all? She wasn't fooling him. "Why hello Leia is there anything I can do for you?" "Actually there is.," "and what might that be?," "you know we would love it if you could come on over and visit us on Courasaunt for a while.

The children really miss you," "Well I'll see what I can do. I'm kind of busy this week. How about next week," In truth he had a date with Mara that week, but Leia didn't need to know that. Not yet anyway. Luke then turned off the holonet and went upstairs to find to his pleasant surprise, that Mara was in his room. "Surprised farmboy or did you already know I was here?" "No, no I'm surprised I decided not spoil it by reaching out with the force.," "have you told her yet?," "Told who yet?," "Leia oh exalted one.," "NO," Luke said reddening slightly at her latest comment. "I don't think she'd understand. You're not exactly on good terms with her you know. ," "Oh! You're such a spoilsport. So she'd be a little shocked is all," "That would be one of the largest understatements of the millennia. Now if you'll kindly excuse me miss Jade I have a couple of classes to teach so I must be going.

Being late isn't a quality I want to pass on to my students. ," "Couldn't you just ask Kyp and Kirana to take over for you today?" "What would I say?," "You could say you're taking this morning off. Then we could go out for a little fun," "Hmmm. Sounds enticing. I think I'll take you up on that offer." Later on that day Luke and Mara were seen together by the intergalactic light speed news... That same night an enraged Leia called Luke on the holonet. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT MARA?!! WAS SHE THE REASON YOU COULDN'T COME OUT THIS WEEK?! HOW COULD YOU LOVE THAT DEVIL OF A WOMAN?!!!! SHE TRIED TO KILL YOU FOR GOODNESS SAKE!! ," "Leia calm down it's not what you think. Well it is, but Mara has changed since we've been on myrkr together. She's the one who made the first step in this relationship not me and if you can't accept that then we have nothing more to discuss ever again because I will continue seeing her and I will enjoy it with or without you're consent. ," "But Luke I'm only trying to look out for you. I mean she look at her she's dangerous," " Maybe in your eyes she is, but to me she's kind the most beautiful kind and gentle person I've ever laid eyes on. Good- bye Leia. "But Luke I..." click.

"Well that went well. ," Mara sighed from the kitchen. "I knew something like this would happen sooner or later. She probably thinks you're out to get me.," "Now why would she have an idea like that? ," "I don't know. I just don't know anymore. I'm really confused right now. I don't think going to visit Han and the children now would be a good idea because they're all probably angry at me for loving you.," "Oh! You poor baby. Don't worry about it Leia might never come around but han and the kids will be happy for you at least. Leia just can't swallow the fact that you're inlove with your would be assassin.," "I guess you're rightmaybe I should just relax and forget about it for a while. ," "Let's just go out and have some fun hmm. ," "Yes please. I believe I'm contracting one of my few cases of extrereme migraine.," Next week Han Leia and the Kids all came out to visit him. Luke was up in his study when he was notified of their presence.

"Master Skywalker the Chief of State is here and demands to see you immediately.!!," Kirana said. "I'm a little busy right now. Tell her that she'll have to wait for a while.," "Will do Master but I don't thin she'll be too happy about it. Two Hours later A fuming Leia burst into Luke's apartment. "Why couldn't you see ma earlier?! I am the Chief of State you know. I demand an explanation. ," "He was busy discussing some matters with me your "wrshipfullness.," Mara purred falling easily into the word han had made for her. "What's she doing here?!! ," Spat Leia venom in her stare. "Well that's because shelves here.," Luke replied. "You mean here on your room," Leia eyed Luke suspiciously. He nodded. "Then it's all true. You're in love with Mara.," "Yes it's all true in fact were already married.," Luke answered ice gleaming within his stare. "What? Why didn't you tell me before!! ," "Because I know you would do exactly what you're doing now. Using everything within you're power to keep me from Mara.," "but Luke she swore to me that she was going to kill you. Openly in front of lots of other people!," "She's changed since then. I know what I'm doing Leia and if you are going to be mean and spiteful then so be it, but I will continue loving Mara.," "You see I didn't poison him at all. Maybe Mara isn't so bad after all. But what if she hasn't changed?. Just then Han came loping into the room giving Luke a hearty slap on the back as he entered. Successfully knocking the wind out of him.

"Congratulations Kid. Took you a while though. I thought you two birds would never get together," "You knew about this," Leia rounded on Han. "You knew about thi and you didn't tell me?!!," "I did not think it was an appropriate time to tell you about it. Besides both luke and I were afraid of your reaction. Luike I guess was correct in predicting your obvious outrage at the situation. ," "Leia your iffy about our relationship yes? I promise you that I'll always love and stay true to Luke as was the first of my vows to him. My name isn't Callista Leia it's Mara. I'd rather die then betray him in any way.," Mara stated staunchly. Feeling a change in his force feeling Leia turned and looked in her brothers direction. What she observed made her blood run cold. He was standing rigidly and swift labored breath pounded from his ungs at irregular intervals. His eyes were clouded and unfocused.

It was immediately apparent that he didn't see any of them. He began to shake violently in small concentrated shivers then promptly fell to the ground in a crumpled heap. "I KNEW IT. I KNEW YOU'D POISONED HIM.,"Leia yelled pointing an accusing finger at Mara."WHAT YOU THINK I POISONED HIM. YOU'RE DUMBER THEN YOU LOOK!!.I'm just as freaked out as you are. Over this whole thing.," as the women fought Han tried to revive his prone friend. "Luke? Luke1 come on kid wake up. Come on this isn't funny. Come on man the girls are tearing each other apart.,' Han's efforts were soon rewarded with a low groan from Luke which stopped the women's squabbling instantaneously.
