Whats a girl to do
This story is set about 5 years after Destiny's Way. The Yuuzhan Vong have left the galaxy, the war is over they have gone about 4 months. They left the shamed ones on Corsucant, who have made peace with the rest of the galaxy and are now part of the galactic alliance. Although many have died in the war, the rebuilding has begun.
Colonel Jaina Solo stepped out of her X-wing. "Alright Twin Suns, your free to your vacation. I'll see you all in two weeks."
Her squadron cheered, it was the first vacation they had since the war started.
Jaina stepped out of the room, with Kyp Durron right on her heels. "What is it Durron?" she asked slyly.
"Nothing, I just wanted to say hello, it has been awhile since I have seen you." He muttered
"I've missed you to Kyp." She said while pulling him into a hug. "So how's Danni?" During the war, Kyp and Danni Quee had been paired up to work on a Vong skip. After three weeks of fighting each other day and night, they realized they hated each other enough to love each other, and had just recently got engaged.
"She's fine, she planning a huge wedding. I don't know how she expects us to pay for it."
"Be glad, she hasn't talked my mom into helping her." Kyp laughed
"So how are you?" he asked
"What do you mean? I'm fine, I'm always fine." Kyp gave her his 'you know what I'm talking about look'
"No really Kyp, I'm fine. Everyone thinks that Jag left me for the Unknown regions, because of duty. It wasn't like that at all; we decided that we could never work. His sense of duty and my sense of adventure would never work out. I'm fine with it, it was my decision."
Kyp nodded his head "Alright but if you ever need me, you know where I am. Danni maybe be my fiancé, but you're always going to be my little sister."
Jaina smiled her famous Solo grin at Kyp. "I know, Kyp, I know. Now scat, I'm off to bed, and you should go pester Danni."
"Alright, by your leave goddess." He teased her, knowing she hated that. "Go before the goddess commands you to polish her boots." With that he bowed and walked off.

Jaina woke up some six standard hours later, in a cold sweat; panting heavily she recalled what had woke her up.
He stood before her, black hair blowing in the breeze, green eyes blazing before her. "Jaina I'm sorry." He muttered "No don't go, don't leave me." She cried at him "I loved you once, but never again." He reached out and put his soft hand on Jaina's cheek and wiped away her tears. "But why I don't understand, why do you have to go." "Because you have broken my heart." "But I love you, please don't leave me again. "I'm sorry Jaina, you saved me once, you can't save me again." And with that he turned and jumped off the building falling to his inevitable death. Jaina fell to her knees crying; "no" she screamed threw her sobs. She did love him, she just never realized it until now, and now he was gone.
Lying back down in bed, Jaina tried to banish the dream from her mind. She pulled the covers up to her neck, and breathed heavily. She knew she loved him; she just couldn't bring herself to admit it before. But in her heart, she had always known, and tomorrow she was going to tell him. Pulling her old Wookie doll close to her chest, she fell asleep, with the comfort of knowing that all would be reveled tomorrow.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Zekk crawled out from underneath the Lightning Rod; he walked over to his toolbox, and pulled out his hydrospanner. Wiping some of the gunk off his face he proceeded to crawl back under his ship. He thought of getting rid of it and getting a new ship once, but when it came time to do it, he couldn't let this old ship go. It had so many good memories for him. It reminded him of his childhood, or what he had of one. Before the war, before the death, before everything.
He heard soft footsteps approaching his ship. He laughed, who would be coming to see me? The knock on the side of the hull brought him out of his thoughts.
"I'm under here." He yelled
"I should have figured you'd be under there. You never could get this bucket of bolts to work." She yelled back
Zekk crawled back out from under his ship. "Jaina?" he asked in disbelief.
"Who else would it be?" She asked
"I'd give you a hug." he replied, "but I doubt you want to be covered in grease." He looked at her skeptically.
She laughed at him "Need any help working on this old thing?" she asked. She wasn't there to work on the ship, and Zekk knew it.
"Nah not really, jump to the power cables Jaina. You haven't come to see me in the last two years, what do you want?" Zekk spit out at her
"What I can't come see an old friend?" she batted her eyelashes innocently
"Yes you can, but you have other motives for being here. I am a Jedi, I can see your hiding something, no matter how hard you try to shield." He retorted
"I realized something last night. Zekk, I love you." She said quickly, hoping her nerve would keep up
Zekk laughed at her "Jaina, you don't love me"
"What?! How would you know who I love or not?" she demanded
"Listen I know, the Imperial boy left you, and you're lonely and you're coming to me on rebound." He told her.
Jaina's face fell. "I am not on the rebound, and what you don't want me?" she spit out at him
"Jaina, I have loved you for a lifetime, and you pushed me away. Now you're on the rebound and you're coming to me for safety. Well Jaina I don't want to be your fall back guy." He snapped at her "You don't love me, and you never will. I've moved on with my life, why are you going to make this hard on me?"
Jaina, walked over to Zekk, and put her hand on his cheek and wiped away some of the grease. She smiled, "But I do love you."
Zekk took her hand off his cheek, "No you don't you just think you do. I'm going to take a shower. I don't want to find you here when I return." With that Zekk turned around and strolled into his ship
"But Zekk!" Jaina yelled at him
He didn't bother to turn around "Bye Jaina." he said and closed the hatch on his ship.
Jaina stood there fuming for a moment. How dare he turn her down? How dare he tell her what she felt? How dare he not love her in return? She sighed; this is going to be much harder than she thought. A slow grin came across her face. Well I'll just have to prove to him how much I do love him, with that she walked back to her room.
