a/n I do not own Star Wars. I do own Gabrielle, Matris, Terry, and Tony, as well as Lord Dalton and Tanya.

Far off in the depths of space sat a man. He was tall, muscular, quite handsome actually. He had chestnut brown hair tied in a ponytail. He had deep blue eyes. But something was odd about him... he had an aura of evil surrounding him. In his eyes you could see something almost diabolical about them.

With him sat a young girl... with an aura of evil around her as well. She was scantly dressed with waist length black hair and piercing green eyes that seemed to see everything. She has twin blasters strapped to her legs.

"Ahh Tanya," the man said caressing her face. "Soon we will have her. Then we shall be complete. All the power in the world. And those accursed Jedi shall be annihilated yet again."

Tanya watched him carefully and pushed herself against him. "Yes and that daughter of yours shall be the one to do it. HAHAHAHA."

Together they laughed as they watched out the viewpoint.

Weeks had passed, Gabrielle and Matris had become even more competitive. Tony had seemingly lost interest in Gabrielle, and for the first time in his life, he broke the heart of a young girl. Gabrielle was devastated, and unbeknownst to Gabrielle, Terry had started to show more and more affection towards her. He began to come visit her more... or just sit by her. This comforted Gabrielle greatly... but they still knew next to nothing about each other. Gabrielle knew that Terry loved computers and Terry knew Gabrielle hated to use the Force unless she absolutely had too. But that was as far as it had gotten. And Gabrielle had been having increasingly alarming nightmares... but chose to keep them to herself. But Terry could sense something was wrong for almost every night it never failed that he sensed Gabrielle reach out for him to comfort, reassure, that he was still there.

Terry was jolted awake by Gabrielle's voice resounding in his head. Blearily, he got up trying to think. Is she in trouble? he wondered. Terry jumped up, pulled on a pair of pants, and sprinted down the hall. When he reached Gabrielle's room he burst in, and there was Gabrielle, sitting on her bed with tears streaming down her face.

Gabrielle looked at him in surprise. "What are you doing?"

"You called out to me... using the Force," he told her slightly confused. "I though t you were in trouble."

"I... called you?" she said uncomprehending.

"Yea you did," Terry said uncomfortably.

Gabrielle frowned to herself as Terry came over and sat down besides her.

"Are you alright?" Terry asked her as he sat down.

"Yea I guess so," Gabrielle said looking at Terry.

Terry wiped the tears from her eyes softly. He then tilted her head up to where he could look in to her eyes. Terry then proceeded to kiss her.

After a moment Terry looked at her and said, "Do you know how long I've wanted to do that?"

Gabrielle shook her head.

"Ever since Tony brought you into my room to introduce us," he answered softly.

"Well since you've waited such a long time why don't you do it again?" Gabrielle answered softly, surprising him.

"Alright I will," he said as Terry kissed her once more.

Gabrielle sighed after a moment and laid her head on his shoulder.

"So does this mean we're... a couple?" Gabrielle asked him.

"If you want," Terry said looking at her.

"I do want," Gabrielle told him. "What time is it?"

"Ahh a little bit after dawn. Well you should get a little more sleep. I know that's what I'm going to do. If you want to talk more in the morning come find me... I'm a good listener believe it or not," Terry told her as he walked from Gabrielle's room.

"Maybe I'll take you up on it," Gabrielle murmured to herself as she laid back down and succumbed to sleep.
