Disclaimer: If this was mine, do you think I'd be writing Fics? No, this all belongs to our Master and overlord George Lucas who has been the creator of religion, hope and the Force. Many thanks! (But if you ever need a writer on your crew…)
Author's Note: I dedicate this to Hayden, who is extremely wonderful, Ewan, who is a wonderful actor/singer, and to Ash Darklighter, who's Fics have kept me busy for hours and my imagination soaring.
Unfathomable – Part One~By Aleese Sundancer
"Luke, can't you tear yourself away from the holovid for 30 seconds?" Leia sighed exasperated. Ever since he'd arrived on Coruscant from Yavin IV, his eyes had been glued to the holovid. She couldn't blame him in some ways though. On Yavin IV, he had no access to the outside world, and since he'd first seen the Lead story on his friend, Mara Jade, and Lando Calrissian being together, he'd been unable to take his eyes from it.
"I'm sorry Leia, you know I am. Its just…Mara and Lando? Lando? I mean, he's my friend, but I thought that Mara didn't go for his type. I mean, I think she wants someone who's a bit more grounded, less flamboyant, needs less attention. I can understand the marvels of the Force, but why Mara and Lando would get together, I can't even fathom!" Luke ranted, pacing around the room slowly. Leia sighed gently.
"Luke, please, you came to Coruscant to be with your family and to be Away from the Jedi. Come, have supper with us tonight. You know the kids have been eagerly waiting for you to come. I've never seen them act so angelic, with hopes that their good behaviour will entice you to show. Please Luke, just let Mara and Lando be. If it makes them happy…."
"But it does. Look at Mara's face. She's acting…" Luke muttered gently, as his eyes took in the beautiful Master Traders face on the picture. Luke closed his eyes slowly and took a deep breath. His hand moved and shut off the Vid, and he stood up and smiled. Leia watched as his face resumed the more grown-up Luke and he pulled her close. "I'm sorry. I've missed you all very much. Please, tell me about the kids."
"Okay Calrissian, we're alone. Get your hand off my back." Mara practically spat.
"As the Lady wishes." Lando smiled, his ever-gallant ways not diminished by the venomous woman he kept company with. "You look fantastic."
"Shut up, Calrissian." Mara glared and quickly made her way back to their shared room. Lando followed quietly, enjoying the spectacular view he was receiving of the Master Trader. Her black dress did little to hide her curves, and only made her more tantalizing. Unfortunately, Lando was well aware that Mara saw this only as another job to help Karrde, and there was no chance that she'd ever truly feel the feelings she performed in front of the crowds for him. One of these days, he'd wear her down and she'd finally come around to his charm. There was no one as tantalizing as Mara Jade, and he'd have her. Or he'd likely die trying.
Mara opened the door to the shared suite. The couch was set up for Lando to sleep on, and Mara slipped into her room to get changed. She knew exactly why she'd chosen the dress. She needed to get at the head of the traders union for Dipmus Prime, and he was legendary for being a ladies man. This dress was set to kill, and she'd gotten exactly what she had wanted. Only a few more days, and she didn't have to see Calrissian again.
Slowly, Mara ran her hands down the front of her dress and looked at it in the mirror. She did have everything in the right place, just perfectly set as possible. She also did enjoy watching men have their eyes jump out of their sockets and the women slap them upside the head as she walked into the room. The powers that the Force had granted her were certainly something Skywalker couldn't preach at his Jedi School. Mara almost let out a laugh at the thought of some of the Jedi wandering around in slinky dresses, learning from Skywalker how to sway their hips just so. Not that Skywalker didn't have a nice sway to his hips, Mara thought, but they weren't the same as the kind only a woman could produce. With the thought of a Jedi School of Feminine Whiles, Mara laughed and changed into her nightclothes, one of Lando's old shirts, and slipped into bed.
"Goodnight Mara. Sweet Dreams" Lando called from the main room.
"Go to bed." Mara called out and fell asleep.
A/N: Let me know what you think? I'm gonna need some indication that there are readers out there enjoying my story, so review review review, or I won't bother writing! I'm a university Student; there are ALWAYS other things I could be doing…
