A Complicated Friendship:

The Story of Jag Fel and Jaina Solo

Chapter 3: The Discussion

After their showers, Jaina and Jag met outside her quarters to head to the Mess Hall.  On the way there Jag noticed that Jaina was off in space somewhere.

"Hey, Sticks, anyone home in there?"  He asked waving a hand in front of her face.

Brought out of her reverie she replied a little startled, "Sorry, I was just thinking how long it's been since the last time I saw my brothers."

"You're really close to your family aren't you?"

"Yeah," she said smiling. 

As soon as she strolled into the Mess Hall someone basically tackled her. 

"Sticks, are you ok." He said as he tried to pull the guy off of her.

She just looked up at him and laughed.  "What?" he asked confused.

"Colonel Jag Fel, meet my twin brother, Jacen Solo." She introduced them as Jag helped her up.

"So I finally get to meet the famous Jagged Fel that Jay's told me so much about." He said with a grin.

'Shut up, Jace.  I don't like him like that' she thought towards her twin.

'Sure, ok, whatever you say.' He replied to her.

"Well, Colonel, it was nice meeting you, I had better get back before Mom, Dad, Mara and Luke send the search and rescue party."

"Yeah, it was nice meeting you also Jacen, and please just call me Jag, everyone else does."  He said as he shook his hand. 

"Alright catch ya later Jay." He said as he hugged his sister. "Ok, Jace."

After Jacen left, they went to get their food.

As they sat down Jaina cleared her throat and began to speak.

"So what's wrong with you Jag?" She said with a big grin on her face, "You thought I had forgotten about our little bet, didn't you?"

"Well Sticks, I was hoping you would," he grumbled.  "Well I might as well get this over with.  The politicians for one are starting to annoy the crap out of me, especially my good ol' buddy Borsk Fey'yla.  They've given orders to have my squadron grounded.  How that idiot has control over a Chiss squadron, I'll never know, nor do I want to.  It just really pisses me off!"

"I was beginning to wonder why you were here and not on the Chimera."

"That idiot Fey'yla is why.  He came to the Chimera and said that since we were helping the NR in the war, that we had to follow his orders.  Then he told me that my squad wasn't needed right now.  It's like he's trying to lose this war on purpose."

"But that doesn't explain what you are doing here."  Jaina wondered.

"Well when we were put on leave, they wouldn't let us use the sims because we weren't on top of the priority list.  Wedge knew I didn't just want to sit around and do nothing, so just before he left he came and asked me to come with him here." 

"Ok, so now that I know why, what are we gonna do about it."  She asked with a wicked grin.

"Uh…Sticks…Uh…I really don't like that look you're giving me right now.  And what do you mean by 'what are we gonna do about it'." 

"I mean, what are we gonna do that will cheer you up.  And don't even spout off that this is war and we need to be grim crap, cause I don't want to hear it."  She added with a glare that could rival her Aunt Mara's.

Jag just set there and looked defeated, "Ok, what do you propose we do?"

"Have you ever been camping?"  She asked.

"Camping?"

"Oh my gosh, you've never been.  Ok, that settles it, we're going camping."

"Ok, whatever you say Sticks."  He said, thinking, 'what have I gotten myself into now'.

"GREAT!  I'll go make arrangements with Luke and Mara.  Meet me at the hanger bay in an hour."

"Ok, 1 hour." 

"You've got it."

A little while later at Jag's ship:

'What have I gotten myself into now?' he wondered.  'I mean, sure I consider her a friend and trust her, but how come every time I get around her I have this funny feeling?  Well I'm sure it's nothing, I grew up in a Chiss society, not really used to being around other girls besides family.  Yeah…that's probably it.  I mean what else could it be?  We're just friends, hopefully we will be better friends after this trip.'

"Hey, flyboy, you about ready to go?" Jaina asked as she walked up with all of our supplies.

"Yeah, by the way, where are we going?"

"A nice little place called 'Yavin 4'."
