A big thank you to Tahiri Solo for bringing Anakin Solo back.

Chapter 1: Intro Chapter
She was running. Running deep into the heart of the forest. She didn't dare look back. Looking back would cause her to slow down, she couldn't risk that. Back at the Jedi Academy she was safe. After the Yuzzan Vong had been defeated she had spent every hour at the temple training for the light side. Scared a year later that she might still return to the dark side. She was being forced to run. Her chest felt like it was on fire. Jaina force-jumped onto a nearby branch to catch her breath. Looking down she saw six figures stop. All at once they looked up.
"You're going to have to do better than that Jaya," Jacen taunted looking up at his twin sister. Launching himself onto the branch next to her. He was followed by the remaining five figures. All took their places on branches. Anakin landed on the branch above and in between his two older siblings. Tenel Ka landed in front of Jacen, Jacen laced his arms around the girl's waist and put his chin on her shoulder. Tahiri landed next to Anakin and swung her legs to one side of the branch. Lowie jumped from branch to branch to explore the forest canopy of Yavin 4. Zekk was the last to appear from the forest floor. He settled right behind Jaina and put his arms around her shoulders.
"I keep running short of breath. How far did I get before I jumped?" Jaina asked Telen Ka as she put her head on Zekk's shoulder.
"You ran nineteen point eight kilometers in little less than twenty minutes. Not bad for just returning from a two month mission." Tenel Ka remarked. Everyone was in agreement.
"How's Lusa? Is she doing well back on Tenteak?" Anakin questioned.
"She's doing well, I think she'll really help her people. She's a Jedi healer and with a bit more training she may wind up being one of the best," Jaina said as she thought back to helping Lusa and her people.
"Agreed," Jacen added.
Zekk was glad to have Jaina back in his arms. He had missed her terribly since she had been gone. Looking around at his friends and listening to Lowie lumber back down from the canopy. He thought about how he had gotten here and it amazed him that he hadn't lost any of his friends. A breeze of hot air cut through the trees and his thoughts. The hot air brought the beads of sweat back to his back and forehead.
"Whew, anyone up for a swim?" Zekk asked as he whipped his forehead. Everyone laughed then agreed on a swim. Jumping down they raced towards the river.
Stripping down into their jumpsuits they made their way to the waters edge. Lowie jumped in causing a tidal wave to soak everyone still on shore. Zekk and Jacen dived in together, swam to shore and pulled Jaina and Tenel Ka in. Both girls had been expecting this and ducked under the water, and jetted off the sandy bank into deeper water. Both were closely followed by either Zekk or Jacen. Anakin shook his head, took Tahiri's hand and walked down the river a little bit before jumping into the water himself.
