This is a short song fic from Danni's point of view.
Disclaimer: the song "Fool" belongs to Shakira...not me! The characters don't belong to me, either! They belong to the SW authors that invented them and/or George Lucas.

FOOL
Tell me lies, slap me on the face, just.
Improvise, do something really clever,
That'll make me hate your name forever
Another attack, and again you go to fight. You leave me here to worry, wishing I could do more, but knowing that I'm no warrior. That I'm just a scientist. That I'll never be a fighter. When you look at me, do you just see me? Or are you seeing that I'm not her? Am I just the next best thing to you? I know I can never compare to the "Sword of the Jedi." I'll never be like her.
You might swear, you'd never touch a lady
Well, let me say, you're not too far from maybe
Every day you find new ways to hurt me
Everyday you tell me that you love me and only me. Then why do your eyes follow her when she leaves the room? Why do your thoughts turn to her so often? Why is it that the Chiss colonel annoys you so much? Is it because he's simply annoying? Or is it because her eyes follow him, instead of you? I look at you in the darkness of the night, thinking how peaceful and handsome you seem in sleep, and you murmer her name.
But I can't help it if I'm just a fool
Always having my heart set on you
'Till the time you start changing the rules
I'll keep chasing the soles of your shoes
Ahh, fool
I keep asking myself why? Why do I let you hurt me so much? I know I should leave. But then I look into your beautiful green eyes and forget that the universe is anything but perfect. Do you use some sort of Jedi mind trick on me, that I can lose my sense of reason so easily just by the sound of your voice?
God resigned, from hearing my old story
Every night, I'm paying hell for glory
I'm embarrassed but I'm much more sorry
I try so hard to make you smile, but it seems like I have to try harder than anyone. I make you dinner. I fix my hair in ringlets that I've been told look like loops of gold. I wear the make-up that brings out the green of my eyes. But you never compliment my hair or eyes. The only thing you seem to like is the dress I picked out. The red one. Even though red isn't my color. It's hers.
All this pain, begins to feel like pleasure
With my tears, you'd make a sea a desert
Salt my wounds and I'll keep saying thank you
But in the midst of my misery I look up and there you are. Again, I lose myself in your wonderful eyes. My heart skips a beat as you lean in closer to me. Simotaniously, we close our eyes. I hold my breath in anticipation. And you kiss me, causing my heart to soar. Later, after you've gone to bed, I try to pretend that the wetness on my cheeks isn't from tears.
But I can't help it if I'm just a fool
Always having my heart set on you
'Till the time you start changing the rules
I'll keep chasing the soles of your shoes
Ahh, fool
Somehow, even with the knowledge that your heart belongs to another, I still stay with you. Every moment breaks my heart, but I stay. Maybe I feel like you need me. Maybe you do. Maybe I'm just trying to convince myself that staying is the right thing for me to do. So, even as I watch your eyes trail after your "Goddess," I tell myself that you are with me tonight, not Jaina Solo. And I guess I can find it in me to feel sorry for you. Because we both have our hearts set on people who's hearts lay elswhere. I long for your love, you long for her's. In a way, we're both just fools.
