1 Jaina snuggled closer to Jag. The transport had arrived just around
midnight local time. "I guess it's better late than never," Jaina had told
Jag. Jag had agreed wholeheartedly. Jaina smiled. 'Life's never been this
good…' she thought sleepily. She stretched, and looked into the alert as
ever green eyes belonging to Jag.
2 "Mmm…where are we and where are we going and are we there yet?" she asked. Jag chuckled. "We aren't the pilot's top priority, you know. He had to deliver some cargo or whatever on Gallinore, but now we're headed home."
3 "Good. Home is good." Jaina told him, smiling. Jag smiled back.
4 "Do you ever sleep, Colonel?" asked Jaina, noticing the dark rings around his eyes.
5 "Sleep? What is this 'sleep'?" Jag replied, playing along with the joke.
6 "I didn't think you did." she said. They both laughed. Jaina grew serious, though, and she asked Jag, "Did you really mean that back there on whatever little backwater planet we were on?"
7 "Mean what?" he asked, a slight frown crossing his face.
"That you loved me." she stated matter-of-factly.
"Of course I did! I was so worried that maybe I'd lost you and maybe I should have told you sooner before…" he said sincerely. Jaina smiled softly. "I love you too, Jag."
Jag wrapped Jaina into a tight hug. He kissed her forehead, "Well," he said, "I guess we'd better go talk to our pilot."
"Ok." Jaina said, rising slowly, stretching.

"Colonel, permission to speak freely?" asked Nika. Gavin nodded.
"By the ruins of Alderaan, are you serious, Gavin?!" she shreiked. Gavin threw back his head laughing heartily. "Yes, she's really alive. She and Colonel Fel hooked a ride with a transport, they should be here within the next few hours-" he said, but was cut off by the joyous whoops from the squadron. He grinned, shaking his head.
"Reminds me of the time at Borleias." Said Wedge, standing next to him.
"That's right, we all thought we'd lost Corran, and he ended up beating us back home, and even had a ryshcate baked for us…" Gavin said, remembering. "Those were the days…"
Wedge laughed. "We aren't that old, Gavin!"
"You mean I'm not that old…" Gavin grinned.
"Watch it, Colonel. Remember to whom you are talking to-"
"Yea, I know, I know, I'm talking to the great Wedge Antilles, Hero of The New Republic." Said an exasperated Gavin.
"And don't you forget it!" Wedge winked at him. Gavin just rolled his eyes in response. All comlinks in the room chirped, and Gavin fumbled for his. Before he could even put it up to his ear to listen, Cariista and Nika were sprinting out of the room, shrieking at the top of their lungs. Gavin listened to the message and smiled. Jaina was back. Jag too. He followed his squadron, who were all running at breakneck speeds to the docking bay.

"We're almost there." Jag whispered softly, sitting down next to her on a bench. Jaina smiled at him. "I'm so glad." She said quietly.
"What? You don't like being here with me?" Jag said, feigning surprise and shock. Jaina rose, and as she did, shoved him in the side, and he flew off the bench they were sitting on and landed on the decking with a thump. He muttered a curse, and stared up at her in disbelief, a slow smile spreading across his features. Jaina offered him a hand up, and he took it. Instead of getting up, however, he pulled her down on top of him. She shouted at first in surprise, and then giggled as her wrapped his arms around her and pulled her down for a kiss. She smiled as his soft, warm lips brushed hers. He pulled her head down, and kissed her again. Jaina was so lost in the kiss that she didn't even hear the whoosh of the door sliding open. Somebody cleared her throat. Jaina looked up, horrified, and stumbled up off Jag. Her two squad mates burst into giggles, laughing hysterically at both Jag's and Jaina's neon red faces. Then, they pulled her into a hug, just as the rest of Rogue Squadron plowed into the room.
"We'll continue this later, Colonel." Jaina whispered to him, grinning evilly.
"I can't wait, Lieutenant." Jag replied, green eyes sparkling mischievously. And then, Jaina was swept up and carried out of the transport by the Rogues, and dragged down to the pilots' lounge for a party. She grinned. 'It's good to be home!' she thought.
