Week 2: Skywalker Plus One

(Luke/Mara, Ben/?) (LEGACY comics era: Nat/Droo, Kol/Morrigan, Cade/Azlyn)

Impossible

Kol Skywalker stared at his wife in disbelief, a snake of cold horror winding through his gut. "What are you saying?"

"I'm saying," she answered hoarsely, "that it's time for me to leave. This isn't working and we both know it. I've been called back to the Empire...and there's no place for me in your Jedi life."

"No place?" Kol took her arm, pulling her away from the viewport. "We made promises to each other. We have a son. We can make it work, Morrigan."

She shook her head slowly. "I wish I could believe that."

Unlikely (Spoilers for Legacy issue #34)

They'd been teenagers when he'd called her his girl. Perched high in their tree, he'd given her the purple flower that she'd wrapped around her finger, the symbol of a promise they'd sworn they weren't too young to make.

He stared at her now. She wasn't a beauty like the woman waiting for him back on the ship, but she was warm and familiar and she was supposed to be his. She wasn't supposed to be dying in bacta, ready to join the Force.

Kark it, she was supposed to be his! Cade Skywalker slammed his fist through the wall.

Reasonable

It was only logical, Ben Skywalker reasoned. They'd been friends for years and it was just a dance. A charity event to benefit orphans of the war. It wasn't like it was a date or anything.

He picked up the comm, was promptly overcome by thirst, and put it back down to gulp an entire container of water.

All right, he shook himself and picked up the comm again. She's just a friend...who happened to be pretty...and she already told him she wanted to go. So just ask her, right?

If only the comm would stop shaking in his hand.

Probable

"You don't have to look so smug, Skywalker," Mara said from the corner, sipping a vial of bubbling water.

Luke stood before the full length mirror with his shoulders squared and rocked on his toes as the taylor made final adjustments to his wedding suit.

"It's not like you knew I would say 'yes'."

"Oh, I knew," Luke grinned.

"Did not. I absolutely saw you sweating."

"That was mist from the lake."

"I think the suit has made you senile."

"But you have to admit - it looks good."

She embraced him from behind. "Like you were born for it."

Definite

"So here's how it is, Droo."

She gazed up at the burly man with unkept white hair sticking out of his cap.

"I love ya and I want to spend my life with you. I wanna raise your daughter as mine and us to be a family. But you need to know: I got baggage."

"We all got baggage, Den."

"Name's not Den. It's Nat. Nat Skywalker. And I'm a wanted man."

His hands trembled around hers and his eyes were wary - afraid that she would walk away but imploring her to stay. And she loved him even more.
