Jaina strolled down the halls an hour later, pausing at Jag's door, and
rapping on it to see if he was back yet. No one answered the door, and she
didn't sense him inside. 'I'll bet he forgot about me and is talking
military strategies with his dad. Guys. How typical, blowing off women for
military talks.' She thought, grinning as she headed down the corridor to
her room. 'Well, at least I can catch some shuteye before the debriefings
at Borleias,' she thought as punched in the code to her temporary quarters.
She stepped inside, and thumbed on a glowplanel. 'Jag was right, a bunk, a
terminal and a repulsorchair. But, hey, that's all I need to get some
sleep.' She quickly changed out of her jumpsuit into something a little
more comfortable, a pair of sleep pants and a tank top, and she slid into
her bunk, and as she drifted off to sleep, she hoped she'd dream of Jag
Fel.

Jag smiled as considered his father's words. "True, but, I still prefer the older, more stable Intech 47s, myself."
General Fel shook his head. "Older, larger, more sluggish if you ask me. I prefer the newer, sleeker models, such as the Intech XA. I'd think a starfighter jockey as yourself would agree with me. It's quite similar to an X-wing, actually, in the fact that…"
The older Fel continued to talk about the fantastic qualites of the snubfighter, but Jag was suddenly lost in thoughts. 'Jaina! How could I have forgetten about her! This is not good…what time is it?' Jag casually glanced at his wrist chrono, and winced inwardly. '3 hours? Time flies when you're talking to your dad, I guess. Ok, well, I'll guess I'll talk to Jaina later, when we're insystem. How could I have let my father lure me into an indepth conversation about clawcraft again?' He sighed outloud, unintentionally, and the older Fel shot him a surprised glance. "Tired? What is this? I thought us heroes aren't supposed to get tired!"
"Us heroes? You mean, me, hero. You, old man, are not a hero."
"Colonel, I'd watch my mouth if I were you."
"Sorry, sir."
"But," the General continued, rising from his chair and stretching, "If you are tired, I suppose I can let you go get some rest. We've got 8 hours till Borleias, you can still catch a good night's rest."
Jag smiled. "Thank you, sir. I look forward to continuing this conversation."
"I bet you do." Muttered the Baron. Jag saluted the General crisply, and his father returned the salute just as sharply. Jag turned around, and headed out down the hall. He paused at Jaina's door, almost ready to knock, and then he decided against it. 'If she's even there, she's probably sleeping. No need to wake her up.'
* * *
Several hours later, Jaina woke up, and she stretched, enjoying the precious few hours of sleep she'd gotten. She rubbed a hand across her eyes, blinking, before checking her wrist chrono. A slow smile spread across her face, and Jaina changed back into her jumpsuit, and pulled her long silky brown hair into a ponytail before heading down to Jag's room. 'I wonder if he'll be up yet? He should be, we've got two hours before we're in system.' She knocked lightly on the door. 'Jag, dearest, I know you'er in there!' she thought, pounding a little bit harder. She stretched out with her Force sense, and Jag was in his room. 'Sleeping like a baby, too.' Jaina noticed with faint amusement. 'Well, not for much longer…' She pounded on the door again, and waited, tapping a booted foot impatiently.
The door whooshed open, and Jag appeared, wearing a black muscle shirt and sleep pants, and looking tousled and rumpled, like he'd just woken up. He squinted his green eyes in the bright glare of the hallway. "What do you want- oh. It's you." He said irritably.
Jaina feigned shock. "Wow! You do sleep!"
Jag opened his pale green eyes a bit wider, only to glare at her. "Is there something I can do for you, Lieutenant Solo?"
"Yes, there is. I seem to recall we were having a conversation, when you abandoned me. I would like to continue this conversation. I've waited long enough." She sniffed formally, striking a regal pose.
Jag could feel a blush rising to his cheeks. "Lieutenant, about that-"
"Don't worry about it. Now, are you going to let me stand out here in the hall all morning-evening-whatever time it is, ah, day?"
Jag chuckled, stepping away from the door. "Come on in. I'm afraid you've caught me at the one time a year that I'm allowed to sleep, so excuse me for not looking presentable and awake."
Jaina swept past him, and dropped into the single repulsorchair in the room, stifling a yawn. Jag smirked, and sat down on his bed, resting his head in his hands.
"So, Colonel, how much sleep have you gotten?" asked Jaina.
Jag raised his head from his hands, and considered. "Probably two, maybe three hours. Maybe more. I spent more time staring at the ceiling than sleeping."
Jaina smiled. "You should have stopped by my quarters."
"I did, but I didn't knock. I figured you were sleeping."
"And, you were right, as always, but, whenever you need me, I'm here. It's not like I got that much sleep anyways, and I can always catch more shuteye on Borleias."
The corners of Jag's mouth twisted up slightly, and he leaned back, so his head was resting on his pillow. He closed his eyes, enjoying the moment of silence. He was vaguely aware of some noise in the background, but paid no attention. He heard someone clear their throat softly, and he opened his eyes, startled to see Jaina standing over him, looking down at him with a grin lighting up her face. Jag could feel the heat rushing to his cheeks as his green eyes locked with her brown ones, and Jaina smiled, and bent down to give him a kiss on his cheek. "Sleep well, Colonel. Since this is the only time a year you can sleep, you might as well make good use of it."
Jag wrapped his arms around her, pulling her down towards him, and tugging her onto his bunk. "Where do you think you're going?" he asked playfully, before kissing her full on the lips, sliding over to give her more space.
"Apparently no where." She responded, holding on to him tightly and kissing him. Jag just smiled as she broke away from his kiss, resting her head against his shoulder. Jag raised his left hand, his right hand rubbing the length of Jaina's spine, and signaled for the lights to turn off. He glanced at Jaina, who was curled up against his side and had closed her brandy brown eyes and was smiling softly. Jag kissed her forehead, and sighed contentedly before shutting his pale green eyes.

ok, I'll try to get more up soon, just with semester tests and all next week, I've got to study! :D
