Luke looked at Mara who was sitting across from him. "What do you think? Do you think I made a mistake?"

Mara smiled light-heartedly. "I don't know Luke, I really don't. Jaina has so much potential but also so much fear. I really don't know if she'll get over it or not. I hope she does, I really do."

"So what do I do know? Do I allow her to continue her training, knowing she could turn or do I pull her out? The council was right, neither should have been allowed to train."

"Luke, relax. If you truly saw her as a possible threat then you would have known immediately. She's a teenage girl in a new environment. She's going to be self-conscious. I'll talk to her if you want."

"Maybe that will help. We need to get to our stations for Kyp's class now." They rose and Mara hugged Luke. "Things will work out, trust the force."



Jacen and Coral walked through the woods following their map, or at least trying to. "I really thought that we were going the right way." Coral couldn't understand what had gone wrong.

"Let's try and find our way back to the beginning and then start again. What do you say?"

Coral didn't like the idea at all but there was really nothing else she could do. "OK." Luckily the two were able to find there way to the glade they had started in and once again attempted to follow the map to their final destination. This time it worked. "I don't know what happened last time but I messed up." They had barely had time to even look at the maze when Luke approached.

"Are you two ready?" Coral stood there and just looked at Luke.

"I'm sorry, Master Skywalker. Coral and I were having some problems and just got here. Is there anyway we can get more time?"

"Of course. I will go check on another group." As he walked away he began to think about the twins again. No matter what, Jacen stays in training. He is levelheaded and talented. Now if only he could decide about Jaina.



Jaina watched as Orion quickly navigated the maze. "Wow, that was only 45 seconds. Okay, it's my turn." She looked at the rock and began to concentrate, willing herself more than it. Come on, I can do this, I know I can. She then moved the rock upwards so that it levitated a foot off the ground.

"Good. Now steer it through the maze." Orion placed a hand on her shoulder. Slowly at first but then slightly faster Jaina moved it through the maze. "Great, see I told you you could do it."

"Yeah, and it only took what? Five minutes?"

"One and a half. All you have to do is shave off thirty seconds and we're all set." Jaina now had renewed confidence; she had done it and on her first try. And it hadn't taken as long as she'd thought it would either. She collected herself and attempted once more. "A minute five."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah."

"Wow, Ok, I'm going to get it this time." She once again completed the maze; she looked at Orion, wondering what her time was.

"Fifty-five seconds." Jaina stared at him dubiously. "No, I'm serious." He hugged her. "That's really awesome. I'm willing to bet that some of the students who've been here awhile won't even get it."

He hugged me, oh my gosh! "You got it in forty-five on your first try."

"Yeah, but that's just me."

Both jumped as they heard a voice behind them. "Ready?"

"Mara! Yeah, I think we are. I'll go first so Orion doesn't show me up." Jaina went through the maze quickly.

"Fifty three seconds. Very good Miss Solo." Orion went next and did it in forty-three. "Nicely done. You two can go and do whatever until your next class." She left to go to her next group.

"I hate you Orion. Ten seconds faster both times."

"I'm really impressed Jaina. I can't believe you were able to do it and do it that fast."

"You flatter me Orion. So what do you want to do now?"

"Let's head back to the temple. It's getting hot out here." Orion led the way back and brought Jaina to her room. "Have a seat. Sorry it's not interesting. I bet it looks just like yours." Jaina smiled and sat on the edge of his bed.

"So.."

"I want to explain about Faheline."



Luke headed back towards Coral and Jacen. "Are we ready now?"

"Yes sir," Jacen replied. "Coral you can go first." Coral made it, barely in exactly sixty seconds. Jacen did it in fifty-three.

"Very good you two. You are free to go." They walked off and Luke hoped they didn't get lost again. He ran into Mara as he walked. "How did she do?"

"Fifty-three, Jacen?"

"Same."

"I don't think you need to be concerned about Jaina. She's feeling better now and Orion is helping her a lot."

"Good. Mara, do you think the kids need to have more fun here?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well I was thinking."
