Jag glanced around. 'Where is she?' he thought. 'She's not at her ship, not
in the mess, not in her quarters…'
"Excuse me, but has anyone seen Jaina?" Jag rapped on the doorway to the Rogues' training room. He stepped inside, looking around the room.
"Uh, no, sorry, Jag. If I see her, I'll let her know you were looking for her…" offered one of the men.
"I appreciate it." Jag said.
"Hey, Jag, she told me she was going to the maze. She wanted some time to think and relax. It might be worth checking out." A lady behind him said. Jag turned to look at her. "Thanks, Riista."
"You're welcome." she replied, grinning. He turned around and headed off to find her.
Jag walked down the stone corridor to the palace gardens. He stepped out onto the gravel, and strolled towards the entrance. He waved a palace guard over.
"Excuse me, but I was wondering if you've seen Jaina Solo around here-"
"Yes, sir. She went into the labyrinth almost an hour ago. If you want, I can find her for you…" offered the young guard.
"No, thanks. I'll find myself. Thank you very much." said Jag, already heading towards the entrance. He wandered about for a little while, before coming to a split in the hedgeway. He stopped for a moment to decide which way to go. Jag chose the pathway to his right, and followed it a ways. It turned sharply to the left, and he was sure it would be a dead end. He rounded the corner, and was correct, it was a dead end, but saw Jaina, sitting on a long wooden bench at the end of the passageway, leaning against the thick wall of bushes, eyes closed serenely, and a small smile playing across her lips. She was wearing just her jumpsuit, with her dark hair flowing down around her shoulders. Jag's voice caught in his throat as he saw her. 'She is incredibly beautiful.' he thought. He approached her slowly, quietly, and looked down at her peaceful form. He was tempted to kiss her, but he restrained the impulse. Her liquid brown eyes snapped open, and she smiled up at him. "What can I do for you, Colonel?"
"Actually, I wanted to talk to you about what you said the other day, after that little scare. Did you really mean that? Do you care for me?" Jaina regarded him coolly for a moment, deciding what to say. She beckoned him closer, and Jag frowned slightly, leaning closer until their noses were almost touching. "You bet I did. I meant every single word." She whispered, lips almost brushing his.
Jag leaned forward then, kissing her gently. Jaina's arms slid around his neck, and his encircled her waist. They had to break for air, and Jag pulled back, just a little bit and smiled. Jaina returned his smile with enthusiasm.
"I think love you, Colonel." she murmured.
"You think?" he whispered softly.
"I know." She corrected and Jag pulled her into his arms for another long kiss. Jaina leaned back, pulling him down with her. She smiled as his warm breath tickled her ear.
"You are amazing, you know that?" Jag muttered hoarsely. Jaina turned her head slightly to gaze into his pale green eyes. They were nose to nose, eye to eye, centimeters apart.
"I think you've told me that before, Colonel," she murmured, her words whispers against his mouth. Jag smiled gently, kissing her again. Jaina deepened the kiss, and Jag sighed, pleased. He released her, and kissed her on the forehead before sitting up, and leaned against the thick hedge.
"You want to grab something to eat?" he asked Jaina, who was still lying on her back, staring up at the blue sky. Her dark hair framed her face, and Jag thought, 'She is such an angel…' She sat up and eyed him slyly. "Thank you. My brothers – my brother, if he's even alive," she corrected herself, with a hint of sadness, "Would tell you otherwise, but that's really sweet, Jag." she whispered softly. Jag turned to look at her, a smile on his handsome features.
"You miss them, don't you?" he asked quietly, concerned. Jaina looked away, nodding. He pulled her into his arms, and leaned back against the hedge. Jaina rested her head on his chest, and sighed. Jag ran his fingers through her thick, glossy brown hair, and smiled. He wrapped his arms around her, lacing her fingers with his as they stared up at the baby blue sky, dotted with clouds.

"Someone needs to tell those two lovebirds to make out in a less viewer- friendly area." Gavin stated, staring out the window overlooking the labyrinth of bushes. Wedge laughed. "I suppose you're right. We could really embarrass the two of them by telling them that."
"And inform them that they interrupted our planning session, too, General Antilles." Tenel Ka said from behind, who had a rare amused smile on her face.
"They did interrupt the meeting, but it was a well-needed break, and quite humorous at that." replied Wedge.
"Just think of how mortifying it could have been if they had gone on a little longer…" said Gavin, still laughing, "They would have died to know that they had onlookers! So, I take it that you'll go talk to them, Wedge?"
"Me? Why me?"
"Because, General Antilles, you are related to Colonel Fel, and my friend Jaina would kill me, and,"
"And she'd quit the squadron if I told her." Gavin finished Tenel Ka's thought.
Wedge glanced between the two, disbelieving, and then he held his hands up.
"All right, all right! I give up! I surrender! I'll talk to Jag about this, but not when he's with Jaina."
"A wise decision, General." Tenel Ka said.
"Those poor children," said Gavin, "They never get any peace!"
Wedge smiled. "Too true, Gavin, too true. They'll learn to live with it though…"
