Chapter 1
Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars, just in case someone happens to think that I do.
Jaina Solo jerked awake. The images she'd been dreaming still standing out vividly in her mind. She could feel her heart racing and used a Jedi calming technique to slow it to a normal pace. The door to her room slid open and the tall frame of her twin brother Jacen stood in the doorway. "Are you all right?" he asked worriedly. "I'm fine," she replied. "It was just a dream. I didn't know I was projecting. " I think I'm the only one who really picked up on it." He said. "So you want to talk about it?" " It was about Anakin," she said softly. "I just can't believe he's gone Jace. " A solitary tear trickled down her face as Jacen moved to wrap his arms around his sister. " I know sis, it's not supposed to be like this," he whispered. Her shoulders shook as she let out the tears she had kept in since the death of her younger brother and the disappearance of her twin.
Jacen held her until her tears subsided. "I'm so glad you're okay, Jacen." She said, "I don't know how I'd have made it without you. I love you big bro." "I love you too Jaina" he answered. She sat up and swiped at her eyes with her hands. "Well, now that I'm done squalling and being all mushy,"she she said wryly. " I think we can both go back to sleep!" Jacen grinned at her and said goodnight. Jaina got back into bed and thankfully fell into a deep dreaminess sleep for the rest of the night
Jaina woke up in the morning feeling better than she had since Anakin's death. She got up and wrapped herself in a towel and walked out in to the hall and down to the large fresher that were available in the barrack type hall she and her family were staying in on Mon Calamari. She got in an empty shower and let the hot water finish the job of waking her up. She thought she heard the sounds of someone else enter and start a shower, but ignored it and reached for her shampoo.
Once clean and fairly awake, Jaina turned off the water and reached for her towel. She wrapped it around her and stepped out of the shower and almost immediately ran into something rather hard. She looked up and found that she had actually ran into someone; that someone being none other than Col. Jagged Fel, her co-leader of the Twin Suns Squadron and quite possibly the best looking male she had ever encountered. The fact that he was still wet and only wearing a pair of black flight suit pants made Jaina turn completely scarlet and she managed to get out and apology. "I'm sorry Jag," she apologized," I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." She then noticed that Jag's face was extremely flushed and that he had a strange look on his face. She followed his gaze and realized that in colliding with him she had lost part of her hold on her towel. As she could not possibly flush any darker red, she just grabbed her towel around her and ran out of the refresher and down to her room.
Once she reached the sanctity of her room, she relaxed. She put on some clothes, a tight fitting black flightsuit, and was brushing out her hair when it hit her that Jag had not been wearing a shirt. The thought that he looked even better without her shirt came unbidden into her head. 'Stop thinking like that!' she mentally chided herself,'He is one of my co-pilots and emissary from the Chiss, nothing more! I cannot let myself be distracted by a silly crush' She was interrupted from her thoughts by the chiming at her door telling her that someone was outside of it.
