Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters. The only thing that I made up was the plot.
Thank you for the reviews. This is Jacen's chapter, as I explained earlier. Please R&R! I love feedback: it keeps me motivated.
Jaina and Daddy went to make the Falcon ready, and I had to stay with Mommy and Anakin and Mr. Threepio, who is a droid, which is smarter than a robot.
"When are we leaving?" I asked Mommy, excited. "When will we get there? Does Uncle Luke still have a lightsaber? Do we get to sleep in the triangle house?"
"Jacen, slow down," she said tired-like. "Stop running around and ask one question at a time." See, she called me Jacen because that's my name. My other name is Solo, but I only get called that when Mommy and Daddy and Uncle Luke and Winter are very mad.
I stopped running and stood in front of her so she couldn't see the bag she was packing.
"When are we leaving?" I asked, polite.
"Jacen, scoot. I am trying to pack this bag. We will leave as soon as your daddy gets the ship ready. Now go take Anakin and play in the playroom."
"But I have more questions!" I announced.
"Jacen…" Mommy used her best warning voice. It means, do what I say.
"Fine. I'm going." I grabbed Anakin's hand tight so he wouldn't get lost on the way to the playroom. You have to be careful with babies. Actually, he is four, but he is the baby in our family. We walked past the kitchen and I seed Mr. Threepio arguing with the food machine. He can talk the same language as the food machine because he's a droid.
Me and Anakin hung out in the playroom, which was real boring because Anakin was being a rotten dummy today. He tipped over the box of blocks and they all fell out, so I cleaned them up, and he knocked it over again. So I had to remind him. I forgot to do the reminding quiet-like and calm-like the way Mommy and Uncle Luke do. Instead, I yelled real loud like Daddy.
"Anakin Solo! You better pick those up right now before you get in real big time trouble, you rotten dummy!"
Anakin started crying and Mommy came in and asked me what happened.
"Anakin was forgetting not to knock all the blocks over the floor, so's I had to remind him like Daddy."
Mommy laughed. Then she told me to use a quiet voice like she does and not to make Anakin cry. Then she gave Anakin a big hug and walked out of the playroom. Anakin stared at me but didn't even say one little word. I liked that.
So I played very nice all by myself. Anakin did not want to play with me even though I was doing a real fun game called birdies. Birdies is where you make your arms wings and run around in circles making very loudish noises. Jaina and me like this game but Anakin says it is too noisy.
Jaina is my twin which means we are both born the same day and are bestest friends. That means we hang out together and are mostly nice to each other. Anakin is our brother and Mommy and Daddy is our parents. Uncle Luke is a Jedi because he can use the Force and do special tricks and use a lightsaber.
Mommy, Daddy, Uncle Luke, and all the other grown ups say No using Uncle Luke's lightsaber! But sometimes we forget. Jaina cut up her bed once. Mommy and Daddy and Uncle Luke were very angryish.
I played birdies until I got so tired I rested on the ground. Then a real loud voice came on the intercom, which is a box that talks real loud at you and you can talk back to.
The real loud voice said: "Leia, the ship's ready. If you can bring the stuff, we're ready to go. Hush Jaina. Go sit where I told you to. Yes, I'm still mad. You ready Leia?"
Mommy pushed a button on the intercom. "All systems go, Han. I'll bring the kids and the bags down."
See, Mommy's name is Leia, and that's who the box was talking to. And my Daddy's name is Han, which is what she calls the intercom sometimes. Sometimes she also calls it Winter, who is our nanny, and Luke, who is our uncle, and Lando, who is Daddy's friend, and sometimes something else.
Anakin and me got hurried along by Mommy, who wanted us to help carry things. Mr. Threepio came too and we went down to the Falcon's house. Chewie waved. I waved back and Anakin ran over so Chewie could throw him into the sky. Anakin laughed. Daddy came down the ramp to help Mommy with the bags. I saw Mr. Antilles come over. He is Mommy and Daddy's friend. Only they call him Wedge, which is a tool, Jaina told me.
"Hey Wedge!" Daddy said, happy.
"Han! Heard you're going to see the in-laws?" Mr. Antilles said.
"You bet!" Daddy betted.
"Mr. Antilles!" Jaina yelled from the top of the ramp. "Can I look at your x-wing!? Please?"
"Not today." Mr. Antilles laughed.
"Jaina, I told you to go sit down," Daddy yelled at her, making a angryish face. "You are having a time-out."
"Fine," she said, grouchy. Then she went back into the Falcon. And Mommy came out.
"Oh, hi Wedge," Mommy said and smiled at the same time.
"Hi Leia! I wanted to come over to ask if you needed an escort."
"What's 'scourt?" I asked Daddy and he shushed at me.
"Why would we need an escort?" Mommy asked to Mr. Antilles.
"Can I talk to you two alone?" Mr. Antilles asked.
"Yes," Daddy tolded him. Then he said to me, "Jacen, go on into the ship and make sure Anakin and Jaina are ready for lift-off.
"Yes sir," I said, proud. Proud is being happy about you being you.
Then I marched straight up that ramp and went into the ship. And Anakin was playing with the controls in the cockpit.
"Anakin, you better go sit in your seat 'cause we're leaving this joint," I tolded him and so he went back to where Jaina was. She was buckled up and ready. I buckled Anakin in and made sure he wouldn't fall out and crack his head open and die before we got to a bacta tank. Mommy says we wouldn't want that to happen. And most the time, I don't either.
Then I satted down in my own seat and buckled the restraints. Restraints are things that keep you from escaping when the ship gets bouncy. Then we waited. For a very long time. Anakin got wiggly, but he couldn't undo his restraints.
"Jasa, untie me," he said whiny.
"No," I said. "We are going to leave soon." Then I got curious and my curiousness made a question. "Jaina, why is Daddy mad at you?"
She made an icked-up face, but not at me. "He is mad because I was helping him and got a little messed up on the hatchway."
"Oh." I looked at the hatchway. It looked okay now. Then Mommy and Daddy came in. Mommy checked our restraints.
"They're ready," she told Daddy.
"CHEWIE!" Daddy bellowed. Bellowed means really, really loudly talking. It makes you want to cover your ears.
Chewie came in the hatchway and closed it. Then he and Daddy went to the cockpit and Mommy restrained herself in her chair. She looked not happy.
"What's wrong, Mommy?" I asked her.
"Nothing, Jacen," she said back. Then she talked real quiet, so we wouldn't hear. But I did. "I wish a vacation would really be a vacation, just once."
"Always a vacation is a vacation," I told Mommy. I think she got a little bit confused.
"You're right," Mommy said. Anakin was wiggly. "Anakin, sweetie, I want you to sit still, okay?"
"Am!" Anakin yelled.
"Shut up!" Jaina told him.
"Jaina," Mommy made her voice go up at the end of Jaina. Like she was singing a real short song. "No saying shut up."
"But he was being too noisy," Jaina protested. Protested is when you argue with what a grown up tells you.
Mommy made her eyes go round and round. Then she closed them. That means she doesn't want to talk. I giggled and Jaina smiled at me. Anakin just wiggled.
Then the ship got very much shaky and zoomed up into the sky. We were in the space!
