I promise Dave will be in another chapter very soon. Just not this one, but
in one very soon. Trust me.
Child of the Light: Chapter Eight.
By Jayde Star
The next few weeks were mostly uneventful. Jayde had school, rehearsals for the show she was in and Len and her went on some more dates. Four weeks after their first date Jayde's parents finally returned home. It was two weeks later than they had originally planned, so they were extremely glad to be home finally.
Jayde and Han were there to meet them all as the 'Jade Sabre' landed. As soon as they left the ship Jayde ran to meet them. "Mum, Dad, I missed you guys so much."
"We missed you too sweetheart." Mara said as she gave her daughter a hug.
"What did you bring me?" Jayde asked cheekily.
"Who says we brought you anything?" Luke laughed as he gave her a hug.
"Because you always bring me something when you've been away for more than two weeks. And when you've been away for less than two weeks. Basically you always bring me something when you leave me." Jayde grinned.
"How about we go home and unpack first. Then we'll see if we got you anything while we were away." Mara said. "I'm hungry, so why don't we order in something to eat and catch up."
Leia joined them after greeting Han; "You talked every day. What could you possibly have left to catch up on?"
"Well, I want to know everything about how Len has been treating my little girl, for one." Luke said as Jayde blushed. "But, that is for later. Right now lets go home. Are you and Han going to join us for dinner later, Leia?"
"Sure, about 7?"
"See you then."
They all said there goodbyes and each went home.

Everyone sat in the Skywalkers lounge room later that evening. They had just finished dinner and were catching up with each other.
"Did you like the dress your parents got you Jayde?" Leia asked her niece, "Does it fit properly?"
"Yeah, it's beautiful and it fits perfectly." Answered Jayde. "I can't wait until I have a chance to wear it. I guess Ben becoming a Jedi Knight is as good a reason as any isn't it?"
"Of course it is."
"Speaking of Ben," Started Han, "I bet you're looking forward to having all the kids home. Jaina, Jacen and Anakin will all be home for it too."
"Sounds like a good time for a reunion." Joked Mara.
"Why not?" Asked Luke, "We could find out who else is going to be on Coracaunt. It'll probably be a while before we get another chance."
"I guess so." Luke loved to have everyone around, so Mara knew she had no choice but to agree. Besides she did kind of like the idea. " I guess it's a good chance to get to know Len more."
"Great" Jayde whispered under her breath.
"So, that's settled. We have a week to plan. Now seems like a good time to start."
So they started to plan the latest reunion for the Skywalker/Solo clan and friends.

I know that chapter was kind of short, but I've got homework. And I can only procrastinate for so long. And it's due tomorrow, so I'd better do it. If I'm finished quickly enough, I'll try and put up the next chapter today as well.
