So I forgot the disclaimer: All characters and places, except for Rynna
Sunni are the property of Lucas films. It's the flannelled god's sandbox;
I'm just playing in it.
Sorry for the wait to all of my readers, I went on vacation. But I'm back now.

Jaina limberly climbed down from the tree she had been perched upon. It's been such a long time since I have been able to look at that view. Picking up the firewood she had left under the tree she continued back to the ship. The wind blew her hair in swirls around her head, and she sighed. The Vong may have taken anakin, and it may have taken my childhood, and they may have taken Corsucant, but they couldn't take the beauty of this planet. Throwing the rest of the firewood into the stack she had started, she picked up a stick and poked at the fire she had started some hours ago. Climbing up into the cargo hold on the ship she drug the crates of food out. Picking through what she had brought she planned a meal for the night. They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, she giggled to herself. Pulling out some pots and pans she had snuck away on the ship she began to prepare dinner.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Access denied" the ship told him again. Zekk banged his fists on the dashboard, and let out a wild yell. He had been trying to crack Jaina's password for the last 2 hours. He had tried everything he could think of, sword of the Jedi, lightsaber, all of her family members names, her birth date, and everything else he could think of. He was running out of ideas of what Jaina could have made the password.
"You having problems their babe?" A sultry voice asked from behind him
Zekk twirled around in the chair "No problems at all, Jaina." He smiled at her
"Good, Will you help me put the table and chairs out? I thought we could have a nice dinner outside." She smiled back at him
"What can't do it on your own?" he asked her
"I can, but I thought a big strong man like you would want to help a poor little weak thing like me." Jaina teased him
Zekk laughed, Jaina may be tiny but little and weak was far from what she was. He followed her into the dining area and picked up the table. Making his way outside, his nose picked up on a wonderful smell.
"Mmmmm, what are you coking Jaina?"
"Nerf steaks, with Bakuran potatoes in a white cream sauce." She replied stirring the pot
"I guess you didn't inherit your mothers aptitude for cooking." He laughed
"No lucky for me I got my fathers cooking skills. Now go wash up for dinner, I shan't have your dirty hands on my food." She swatted the spoon at him
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Walking into what Jacen thought was the head council building he looked around.
"Jacen, I don't think anyone's here." Tahiri stated
"What are you doing here?" A deep voice came from behind him, turning around quickly scanned the Vong's body looking for weapons.
"We were sent here by the Galactic Alliance, I was told that the Yuuzhan Vong council was informed of this." Jacen stood tall; he was not about to be intimidated by anyone.
"We'll you will be hard pressed to find the Council as it has been dispersed." The Vong laughed
Shock was apparent on Raynar and Tahiri's face, but Jacen stood emotionless. " How did this come about?" he asked
"You outsiders never know anything until it is to late. A rift has been growing for months between us, and it finally sparked a war."
Jacen still stood emotionless still. "We'll as dignitaries from the Galactic alliance we will try to dissolve this matter. Please explain to us the rift is about." He asked the Vong
"Come with me then" He motioned for them to follow him out "I shall take you to my home, where I may tell you comfortably without prying ears."
Jacen looked to Tahiri and Raynar and shrugged, it was better than standing around waiting to get killed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Zekk walked down the landing ramp from the ship, drying his hands on a towel. Looking towards Jaina, he sighed, She had never looked more beautiful than she did right now, Thinking about the dress she had worn just two nights ago, he shook his head. No she still looked more beautiful now. She had on a white button up shirt and black pants, she wasn't wearing shoes, I suppose Tahiri got to her about that. The sun was setting on Yavin and it left a soft orange glow around Jaina. Her hair fell softly around her shoulder, and Zekk knew that her dad had been right. Leia must have been one of the Angels of Iego, because only one of them could make anything as beautiful as Jaina. She stood up and wiped her hands on her pants. She walked over to the table and set two dishes on the table. Turning around she waved to him. My life sucks he thought to himself.
"Dinner almost ready?" he asked her
"In just a moment, I just want to make sure everything is cooked all the way." She smiled at him
Sitting down at the table, Zekk tried to stare at anything but Jaina. He watched the wind ruffle the trees and the bird fly around, but his stare always can back to Jaina.
Sitting the pot down on the table, Jaina motioned for Zekk to help himself, she sighed, He was being nice enough know, but she knew that wouldn't last. She had to figure out a way to make him realize they were right for each other.
Helping himself to a plate of food, he grinned at Jaina. How long am I going to be able to last around this girl? I mean she's beautiful and smart and amazing, who wouldn't love her? And I already do love her, how do I make her not love me? Taking a bite of his food, he was amazed at the taste, add a great cook to Jaina's resume.
"Do you like it?" Jaina asked him in a quiet whisper while taking small bites of her dinner.
"This is amazing Jaina, I didn't know you could cook like this." He told her
"Mom had us all sent to culinary class when we were kids, she said we might have to cook for a state dinner once. I told her I'd just have 3PO do it. I'm glad she sent me now." She grinned back at him. Taking a sip of her juice, she sat back and watched Zekk eat. Last time he ate with me outside of a mess hall he managed to eat the bouquet. Giggling at the thought, she brought Zekk out of his eating. Staring up at her with his Green eyes, she momentarily got lost in them. They were such a dark shade of green, she thought.
"What are you laughing about?" he inquired
"The last time we had a meal together outside of a mess hall." She laughed again
Zekk's face turned a bright shade of red, and he let out a small uncertain laugh. "I'm so glad I've learned since then."
Sorry for the wait to all of my readers, I went on vacation. But I'm back now.
