A Complicated Friendship:
The Story of Jag Fel and Jaina Solo
Author's Note: This story begins at the end of DTII: Ruin. The adults' ages are the same. I will say that the teenagers ages are as follows: Valin Fel, 22; Jade, 21; Jag & Sean-Connor, 20; Jaina, Jacen & Neeja, 18; Anakin, Ben, Taylor, Valin Horn, Syal Antilles, & Zena, 17; CJ, Ami, Myri, & Jysella, 16. I hope things haven't conflicted too bad.
Chapter 1: The Argument
Shortly after the battle for Ithor, the fighter squadrons regroup on the 'Ralroost'. Among these groups are Rogue Squadron and the 181st Imperial Remnant. A huge discussion is going on about everything that happened with Corran.
"It's all his fault you know." A random fighter said.
"Who are you talking about?" Jaina asked as she walked up.
"Well you know, the man that killed Ithor, Corran Horn."
"You take that back right now, you despicable piece of Hutt-Slime!" cried Jaina.
Right as she was about to tear into the guy, she felt someone wrap their arms around her and drag her away. As she turned to slug the person who had drug her away, she happened to turn and look into the green eyes of Colonel Jagged Fel.
"Sticks, what's wrong?" He asked with a note of concern in his voice.
"Those people are what is wrong!" She practically yelled at him.
"Just calm down Sticks and tell me what's wrong, I've never seen you act this way before."
Even though his expression was stoic, she could tell by his voice how concerned he was.
"It's just that after all that Corran has done for this government, they still condemn him for something beyond his control. I just can't stand it!"
"Look Jay, it'll be alright. You'll see, you can't let things like this get to you."
"Why do you care so much? It's not like you know him that well!" she spat.
"Well, I just thought that I would be a friend and try to help you out. But apparently you don't seem to want or need it, so I'll just leave you alone!" he threw right back at her.
With that he got up and stormed away, leaving a confused and even more hurt Jaina behind. She couldn't understand why he would care so much, but what confused her even more was the hurt feeling she had when he spoke to her like he did.
About a week later:
Just as Jag was leaving the simulator, he rounded the corner and bumped into somebody.
Already being in a foul mood, he angrily said, "Hey, why don't you watch where you're going!"
"Well excuse me Colonel." The man said sarcastically, with a hint of humor.
Just as Jag was going to rip him apart verbally he looked up and in shock he stuttered, "Oh…uh…Uncle, I'm sorry, I didn't see you standing there."
"Yes, I realized you've been preoccupied lately. A Credit for your thoughts?" He said in a caring tone.
"It's nothing, really, just stress, you know wonderful politicians like good ol' Borsk Fey'yla. I assume that you heard about the recent grounding of my squadron." Jag stated, but he could tell that Wedge wasn't really convinced. "But I do have a question for you."
"Ok, shoot."
"I guess this is really none of my business, but why is Sticks so worried about Corran?"
'Ah so that's what this is all about' he thought to himself. "Well Mara and Corran are brother and sister (author's note: see Prologue), and spend a lot of time together when possible. Jay is Mara's apprentice and travels with her everywhere. So to her, Corran is another member of her family."
"Oh, ok." He mumbled, 'So that's why she was so worried about him, I wish we hadn't had that argument when we did. I could have been there to help her with his exile.'
"So back to the stress thing, you want to know what helps me when I get stressed, a nice workout in the gym. Nothing like physical activity to help out the good ol' stress levels."
"You know Uncle, that sounds like a good idea, thanks." And with that Jag left.
Of course, that was exactly what Wedge had planned for Jag to do. Ever since the events at Ithor he's noticed how much tension was in the air between the Jag and Jay. Of course, after speaking with Mara and Corran about the best plan of action, it was decided that they should have the two accidentally bump into each other. And of course, Wedge had first hand knowledge that Jaina was in the gym at this very moment. "Boy are we good!" he chuckled to himself as he went to find Luke and Mara.
