Hi everyone, how are you ? This fic will be a time travel fic in which Jaina Solo and Ben Skyewalker travel back in time to save their grandfather from falling to the dark side. The first few chapters, which I'll be posting, were already written by myself many years ago, before I joined this site, and now I'm posting them here for the first time.

I was inspired to write this fic sometime after reading another "Star Wars" time travel fic entitled "Change Of Fate" by CrazyAni. It was an extremely good fic and the first Fanfiction story I ever read in my life. That fic is what introduced me to this site and Fanfiction in general. It would take a few years or so and another fellow author's encouragement before I joined this site myself and I'm glad I did.

During that time, many years ago, I had seen other time travel fics but I could only find fics in which Luke or both him and Leia traveled back in time to save their father. I even once came across an incomplete fic in which Kyp Duron and Jaina also traved back in time to save Anakin, and some other fics of that genre, but nothing involving Jaina and Ben traveling back in time to save Anakin.

There was one exception and it was entitled "Sanctuary of Time" by Lady of the Sith and it had a very good start but was sadly never completed on this site. She also posted that fic on the Jedi Council Forums, but under another name, I think, though it was also incomplete on that site last time I checked years ago and I don't know if she's finished it yet. I did try to find it a very long time ago on Jedi Council Forums but had difficulty navigating it since it had gone through a renovation back then, making things unfamiliar than from what I was used to, and therefore couldn't find it, if it was even still available. I hope to read more of it one day unless she ended it.

So after many years of this incomplete fic of mine sitting sitting and moving around, I'll be posting it here for the first time ever and I hope you'll enjoy these first few chapters. And now, on with the show.

Chapter 1.

Ben Skyewalker and Jaina Solo had just finished having dinner with their families and were taking a walk together under the night stars. So many things had happened in their lives. Jacen Solo's fall to the dark side, the rise of the Galactic Alliance, Jaina's duel with her brother and his death, the loss of her aunt and Ben's mother, Mara Jade Skyewalker, at the hands of Jason after he fell and became Darth Caedus, and then the coup that ousted Darra, the head of the Galactic Alliance, or the GAG.

For Ben, the hardest part was not the loss of his mother, but that the killer was Jacen, his cousin and closest friend. Ben and Jacen had spent so much time together; and of all the people that Jacen could have chosen as his apprentice, he had chosen Ben. As he looked up at the night sky, Ben wondered if he could've saved Jacen from the dark side, and in the process, saved his mother as well.

As for Jaina, the harest part for her was her relationship with Jagged Fel. With the press nagging them, her Jedi duties, and many other things, it was hard for her and Fel to continue their engagement. But for now, Jaina decided to worry about any of that. Instead she would enjoy her current walk under the night sky and her cousin's company. She enjoyed the wind of Coruscant as it brushed her face. For her, it was as though the Force was whispering to her and and watching over her.

"Are you okay Jaina ?", Ben asked, interrupting her thoughts. "Your mind seemed to be wandering off somewhere."

"I'm okay", she replied removing a strand of hair from her face. "I'm just thinking about all of the things that have happened in our lives."

"Yeah", Ben replied while gazing at the towering skyscrapers around him. "It's been tough."

"But why did everything have to be so tough ?" Jaina asked with frustration in her voice. "I just wish that things had been simple without my brother embracing the dark side of the Force and Fel and I having to separate."

Ben sighed, silently agreeing with Jaina. There had been so much going on and Ben also wished that everything would return to normal so that he, his family, and everyone else in the galaxy could live their lives in peace.

"I wish that I could've done something to stop Jacen from choosing the wrong path", Ben said to his cousin while observing the traffic above him as they walked. "I feel like I let our whole family down."

"Don't talk like that Ben", Jaina exclaimed as she turned to face him, surprised he would even think something like that. "You could never our family down. We love you and are very proud of the Jedi you've turned out to be."

"Thanks Jaina. That really means a lot", Ben replied to her kind words and giving her a warm smile in gratitude.

"Don't worry", Jaina replied to him as she patted his shoulder and then gave his hand a gentle squeeze. "You're my cousin, I love you, and I'll always be here to set you straight."

A/N And that concludes chapter 1 and now we're off to chapter 2.

Before we move forward, I'd like to tell you all that this fic is what inspired my user name, though at the time I was known as Destiny Changer before joining this site. It just fit since I was writing a fic in which two heroes change the destiny of their grandfather, hence the name "Destiny Changer" before I changed it to "Changing Destiny40.
