When Jaina Met Tumnus
A Star Wars/Narnia Romance
Written by: FossilQueen1984
Disclaimer: Hello there, fellow Star Wars fans! I have had this story idea floating around my head for a few years, so now I am bringing it to you. All characters belong to George Lucas, C.S. Lewis, and 20th Century Fox. For this story, the Tusken Raiders and Corellians believe that that The Lord of the Rings saga is their mythology, and that Aslan is synonymous with Illuvitar. Ergo, the GFFA Christmas equivalent is Durin's Day. This story will make numerous references to Tolkien's work, just so you know. Jaina and Jacen look like Natalie Portman and Elijah Wood, circa 1999. This will be rated T for thematic elements, some gore, two child birthing scenes, and lots of snogging.
Suggested Soundtrack: Star Wars Main Theme and Book of Days- Enya
Chapter 1: Prologue and the Unwelcome Visitor
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
It is a time of peace and prosperity across the galaxy. Twenty years after the defeat of the evil Emperor Palpatine, the New Republic has risen from the ashes as planets come together to rebuild justice and stability. During the rebuilding, Princess Leia Organa married Han Solo, and are raising three Force sensitive children, the twins Jaina and Jacen, and their younger brother Anakin.
Like his sister, Jedi Master Luke Skywalker has also been rebuilding the New Jedi Order. Applicants have swarmed to the rededicated Jedi Temple on Coruscant, among them former smuggler and ex-Imperial agent Mara Jade was one of the first, and now they are married and have an infant son, Ben Kenobi Skywalker.
As running the Senate took away more time from her family, Leia made a decision to retire, and when the children were 8 and 6 years old, Han moved the family to his home world of Corellia. There, they settled into the estate of Han's corrupt politician cousin, Thracken Sal-Solo. Seven years on, Sal-Solo is facing death for treason charges and so the saga continues…
It was overcast and windy in Kokoret City, Corellia's capital. Schools were out for the winter holidays. Jaina Solo and her brothers Jacen and Anakin were out shopping for Durin's Day gifts. While the boys scoured around at a tech store, Jaina was window shopping. At first glance, you would mistake her for her grandmother, Padmè Amidala. Unlike her grandmother, Jaina had very different. Jaina was a wild child, she loved racing speeder bikes, swimming, archaeology, mythology, climbing trees and piloting ships. She liked having boys as friends, but did not want a boyfriend. She was the only girl at school to act like this; she didn't have much of an interest in fashion or makeup either.
Singing along with the holiday muzak, Jaina began to dance along. Passersby laughed and pointed, wasn't that girl to old to act like that? Jaina didn't care, she was being herself. They would have laughed harder if they knew she still believed the old legends about Faerie and other supernatural beings.
Of course, Jaina admitted that she wanted to find her soul mate, one day. She considered herself too young to truly know what it was like to find that certain someone. She had stopped daydreaming when she sensed the boys heading towards her. She called out to them, "Jasa! Kinkin, over hear!"
Jacen laughed when he saw her, "Hey ya, Jayarwen. We got the new toolkit for dad, spare droid parts for Aunt Mara, and a two year subscription to 'Podracer Monthly' for Uncle Luke. Were you waiting long?"
She shook her head and she really didn't keep track of time as all three ambled towards the parking lot. Anakin announced, "I call shotgun, no blitz." Jacen argued that it was his turn, but Jaina pointed out that she had been the one riding shotgun on the way down. This ended the argument as they sped towards the Solo estate. When they arrived, they all spotted a familiar landcruiser.
"Vashta Nerada, really," Jaina complained loudly as they entered the foyer. Sure enough, the people who had apparently just arrived were being escorted to the front door by a hassled Leia Organa Solo. She jumped in surprise when she saw her children. The guests were none other than Imperial Ambassador Soontir Fel, and his son Jagged. Jag was in the same grade as the twins, and was always hitting on Jaina. Today was no different.
"Ah Jaina, you look…fresh today. My father and I just dropped in, but since you are here, I present you with these gifts so that you might honor me by becoming my significant other," he cooed slyly. He reached onto the mail table, and produced a set of fine jewelry. They were nice looking and he had even brought a bouquet. Jaina was livid.
Grabbing him by the scruff of his collar, she hurled him onto the front lawn and tackled him. After his was subdued, and his father was by his side, she glowered, "Listen to me, you thick skulled moron- there is no way in space that I would ever be your girlfriend. On my honor as a Jedi, I have told you before I am too young for that kind of a relationship. Nor would I ever have one with you. You are a bloody flirt, and if you ever show up here again, I will see to it personally that Chewbacca ruins your speeder. Good day, gentlemen." She let out a loud huff, before slamming the front door. Rejected again, Jagged sulked off towards the cruiser, followed by his father, not at all thrilled by his son's behavior. He wasn't a fan of Jaina's behavior, either.
Back inside the house, angry sounds from the pianoforte could be heard. Jacen and Anakin exchanged looks and groaned. Ever since the eighth grade when Jag Fel started attending school with them, he lusted after Jaina Solo. "It's not only her, he's hits on all the unmarried female teachers," Anakin informed his mother. Leia shook her head, "Well, Jaina's right to express herself. It's her choice. Since she doesn't like the jewelry, I think I will keep this for myself. For the flowers, Han will love these." She smiled, and busied herself arranging the flowers to surprise her husband.
Outside, the sky darkened, and Jaina thought to herself, Why should I have to get the guy's attention? Why can't I rescue the knight for once? If I ever fall in love, I want it to be someone I can grow to love, and we will be bosom buddies. Also, I want to rescue him and go on a glorious adventure. Please Illuvitar, let this happen.
