19 BBY (Old Timeline)
At the Jedi Temple on Coruecant 2 days before the confutation with Sheev Palpatine.
"Thank you for meeting with me Master Yoda!"
Standing among the 7 waterfalls Mara Jade Skywalker had the time she needed to contemplate the implications of what she was about to do, she could feel Yoda's presence enter the room.
"In our own time Luke is or was a Grandmaster of the Jedi." Mara Jade said not taking her eyes off the flowing water down the waterfall.
"We followed a practice of teaching of Mouth to Ear"
"Write nothing down, do you?" Yoda asked looking at her guest.
"Oh, we write things down, but for certain aspects of the force"
"Understand I do!" Yoda said calmly, "This is for my ears alone."
"You would know best what to do with the information." Turning to look at Yoda Mara Jade pulled a data chip out of her utility belt telling Yoda, "As you know I was the Hand of the Emperor as such I privy to highly classified intelligence."
Placing the chip in Yoda's hand Mara said, "That is the galactic coordinates for Tython a place the order is looking for I believe."
Letting that information sink in she paused in silence before stating, "We were going to investigate it, when Yuuzhan Vong happened, it will still be there in 19 years."
"Luke is the most powerful force user I've ever met… including Sheev Palpatine!"
Turning to leave Mara Jade reached the door before turning back to face him saying, "He got that way because he fell, and found his way back..., I've studied both sides of the force and neither side has any answers, just something to meditate on."
Smiling Mara Jade Spoke to Yoda's though the force.
I'm not suggesting you let them fall but maybe, The Je'daii had the right idea, they served neither the light, nor the dark, but they respected both.
perhaps you're asking the wrong question.
"I never took pleasure in the act, my emotions never entered into the equation"
"Saw it as an obligation you did!" Yoda observed, eyeing Mara.
Smiling at the Jedi Master Mara Jade says, "Emotions create... complications."
"Oh… and the reason The Darkside never affected me… When I used it, it was never for personal gain."
18 years and 6 Months later a representative of The Bank of Coruscant arrive at the temple asking to speak with Mara Jade.
Over the years Obi-Wan Kenobi had become a father figure of sorts to Mara Jade, whenever she had questions, she could always go to him even though she was not his padawan.
"Master Yoda?" his baritone timbre spoke std as he and Mara entered the room.
Good now that everyone is here, we can begin, my name is Borja, and I am a representative of The Bank of Coruscant.
Eyeing the man Mara Jade, asks, "What business have you with me, I'm a war orphan."
"Yes, that may be so, but this account was set up for you 19 years ago the only information we have on her is she was a Jedi and Padmé Amidala's bodyguard.
Mara Jade picked-up on one of his stray thoughts, looks like I lost the betting pool.
Flashing a 1000 wat smile Mara asks, "What betting pool is that?"
"I had a thousand credits down saying you didn't exist!" Borja grumbled thinking, Jedi give me the creeps
In the back of his mind Obi-Wan Kenobi was thinking, Mara Jade Skywalker you sly dog!
"This Safety Deposit Box will get you started
Mara Jade eyes the box carefully unsure what to do, when Borja states, "It has a DNA lock… a small amount of your blood should unlock it.
Why does The Bank of Coruscant, have anything with my DNA on it!
Reaching inside the box Mara Jade finds a note in elegant script.
Mara Jade
I am sure you're confused, and have plenty of questions, Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Grandmaster Yoda can answer most of them and can teach you how to open the Holocron
Mara Don't watch it alone, make sure Obi-Wan Kenobi is with you.
MJS
Setting the holocron aside Mara picks up the data pad and brushes her fingers across it, and it hums to life. The Pad contains one thing.
With a sense of wonder Mara Jade said, "Their specs for a ship!"
"Dad."
Inwardly he cringed Obi-Wan hated when she called him that, but over the years it had become a private joke between the two
"HHMM" Obi-Wan said.
Theis a note for you too
Obi-Wan
I know you're worried about where the bank account came from,
Mara knew the look on Obi-Wan's face all too well it's the "I feel a Headache" coming on face as he continued reading.
Sheev Palpatine had several shadow accounts with The Bank of Coruscant for off the book projects, I just repurposed one of them for Mara. Don't worry mister (I Have to Follow the Code) the numbered account became my Shadow Account for use when I needed to procure certain Items.
Every girl needs a good spaceship.
Mara Jade Skywalker
The following day Mara Jade and Luke were sparring without Lightsabers back at the Skywalker residence. Mara Jade managed to block his punch and trap both his hands to his chest and slip her other hand round the back of his head and planted her first kiss on Luke.
Breaking the kiss Mara Jade said, "Next time I expect your participation…
"What was that." Luke Murmured.
From the sidelines, Anakin shook his head saying, "Son if you have to ask, you're more-naive than I thought."
"A woman after my own heart" Padmé Amidala-Skywalker said, "Son, that strut and sway is for one person."
Luke, son, In the name of the force go after her!
"She reminds me of you Padmé!"
"Our son needs a challenge." She told him
