Disclaimer: Guess what, they still aren't even remotely mine. I don't
think owning the action figures and books gives me any real rights to the
Lucas characters so…. well…darn.
A/N: You guys are so cool! I'm glad you like the beginning!! So, here's another part, cause its fun. Sorry about it taking so long!

Being ever the gentleman, Luke smiled and pulled out Mara's chair. She laughed and sat down, while she waited for the rest of the Solo squadron to arrive for dinner. Luke sat down beside her and smiled, wrapping one of his arms around her shoulders.
"So, this food has got to be better than prison style grub." Mara grinned at him, as the menu was placed in front of her. She scanned it briefly and picked out a nice plate of seafood, and a couple of large drinks.
"Hungry are we?" Han asked, coming around and flashing his famous lopsided grin. Mara laughed.
"Yeah, you got a problem Solo?" she teased back. He laughed and sat down across from her. After 5 minutes of debating, the rest of the Solo family decided on their seating, and the lawyers were soon to arrive.
"And risk the wrath of Fresh out of prison Mara Jade? Nope, no problems." He laughed.
"If I may?" Leia said, standing up. "A Toast, to Mara and Luke. Finally some happiness in their lives. Took you long enough." She said, raising her glass to them. Everyone else laughed and raised their glass.
"Gee, thanks Leia." Luke grinned, taking a drink. The table laughed again and Leia sat down. "Everyone, lets eat!"
Fortunately, the rest of the meal was relatively uneventful. Every once in a while, someone from another table would be caught giving the rowdy group an interesting stare, or a little child would come up and ask for Luke's autograph. Otherwise, it was nice and peaceful.
Walking home from the small restaurant, Luke and Mara managed to avoid the Press. After receiving some directions from Padme, the two of them found a small garden where they could get some peace away from the hassle of the last few days.
"The stars are beautiful." Mara whispered. "I never really noticed how amazing they are."
"Definitely beautiful." Luke smiled, craning his own neck, but staring at her out of the corner of his eye. Mara laughed and poked his side gently.
"Only you, Skywalker, could pull off such a corny lie."
"Who says it's a lie?" he responded back, wrapping his arm around her waist. Mara let him pull her close, and leaned her head on his shoulder gently. "This is wonderful." He whispered.
"Agreed." Mara replied quietly. Luke smiled and held her close, pausing in front of a waterfall.
"Mara, are you sure you want this?" Luke whispered
"What do you mean?" Mara asked, lifting her head to turn and look at him.
"I know how much your freedom means to you, especially after all this. I mean, I know I'm ready to settle down and have a family, but are you?"
"I…I Don't know Luke…" Mara said, and turned away from him.
"I understand Mara. I love you so much…"
"I will marry you Luke…" Mara said.
"I know Mara. And I'll be here when you are ready." Luke whispered, turning her face to look at him again. She smiled slightly and looked at him.
Ever so gently, he captured her lips in a delicate kiss. She kissed him back, pulling him close.
"We should be heading in." She sighed.
"Just 5 more minutes with you?" Luke asked gently, trying to hide his need to be around her.
"Who says it would be in separate rooms?" Mara grinned. Luke laughed and pulled her in close.
"I love you, Mara."
"And I love you." She smiled.
A/N: Okay, short short part. Next part will be way cooler. I am just trying to build up to the good stuff, but no sense building a house without supports.
8? 9? Lemme know…hehe
