EPILOGUE
Anakin and Tahiri were walking hand in hand, exploring parts of the planet. Tahiri, having already been there for a year, showed Anakin her favorite places.
As they were walking through a small meadow, Tahiri suddenly tugged on Anakin's hand. "Come on," she said, eyes shining. "There's the prettiest little place around here, by a
river . . . you have to see it."
Anakin laughed and allowed her to drag him off. They soon reached, just as she had said, a little place by a river. The river was wide and clear; its water moved sedately along. Trees surrounded the area, and it was quite beautiful.
"I've always thought it was so romantic here," Tahiri said softly. "I -"
But she stopped short when she realized that they were not the only ones there. A little farther down, two figures stood, apparently not all at aware of Anakin and Tahiri's presence.
Jacen Solo held a beautiful red haired woman in his arms that Tahiri thought she recognized. The two were holding each other close, her head on his shoulder. Jacen stood half a head taller than the girl now.
They heard the girl laugh softly. "You know what this reminds me of? I can't see rivers now without thinking of our first kiss."
Jacen laughed. "I can't either. I've missed you so much . . ."
She lifted her head to look into his eyes. "I know. I've missed you too. If my grandmother hadn't made us break up . . . ." She trailed off, her voice sounding choked. "I've never been so miserable. I need you."
His reply was so low that Anakin couldn't hear it, but when the young couple began kissing, Anakin decided to give his brother some privacy. He tugged on Tahiri's hand until she followed him.
"I thought they'd broken up," she said as soon as they were out of earshot. "And I thought your brother was still on Yavin 4."
"I thought so too." Anakin shrugged. "I guess not. And I guess that's who he had to stay and rescue. And supposedly her grandmother made them break up . . . I'd been wondering what was going on with them."
Tahiri grinned, her eyes twinkling mischievously. "This planet certainly seems like a good place for budding romance," she teased, grabbing a handful of Anakin's shirt and pulling him close to her.
They kissed, loving the feel of . . . completeness . . . that came from being together. They knew that nothing, nothing, in the galaxy would be able to separate them. As long as they had each other, everything would always be all right.
They were soulmates, and they both knew it.
A/N: That was my first chaptered thing. And I know I didn't clarify exactly who the girl was whom Jacen was kissing, but it should be pretty obvious. If it's not, go read the YJK series. Let's just say that I wanted to die when I was reading Vector Prime and Jacen was in a tiny little ship with some half-naked chick . . . But I won't get into that now. If I do, I can rant and rave for hours about how much I hate that, and how sick it was . . .etc, etc.
