Sorry about the delay folks. I got wrapped up with college and forgot about
this. Reviews would be kind though, : D

Jaina woke to the sound of birds squawking outside her window. Momentarily forgetting where she was, she sat up rubbing her eyes. The last two days events came rushing back to her, and she grinned. Its going to be another perfect day, another chance to make Zekk realize he loves me. Standing up she through on her robe and walked out. Entering the kitchen she walked over to the counters and grabbed a glass and poured herself some blue milk. Turning around, she ran smack into Zekk, dumping all of her milk on him. She stifled a laugh. Splatters of Blue milk were running down his very sculpted chest. Since when did Zekk not where a shirt? She asked herself. Standing centimeters away from him, he looked down at her.
"Is this the way you greet everyone first thing in the morning Jaina?" He asked her
Jaina blushed furiously; trying to think of something to say but for some reason her brain wasn't working at this moment. Turning away from Zekk's green stare, she got a towel.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see you there," The words came out of Jaina's mouth in a blur. Using the towel she tried to clean the milk of Zekk's chest. Good force, I'm making a complete idiot out of myself. Its not like Zekk hasn't seen you be an idiot before her brain countered her. Smiling to herself, at least I'm getting to touch Zekk's chest. Not necessarily a bad way to start the morning.
Taking the towel from Jaina's hands. "I think I can take care of it Jaina." He smiled at her She's so not a morning person, but she's beautiful anyways. Raking his eye's over Jaina's body, he took it all in. Jaina's robe didn't cover much and neither did her pajama's. Zekk's mouth suddenly felt very dry. Why did he have to be trapped on a planet with her? My self- control is only so good, he yelled at himself. Looking back at Jaina when he had finished drying himself. She was still standing centimeters away from him, looking like she was a statue. He laughed for a second and then picked Jaina up and put her aside. Taking the glass from Jaina's frozen hand he went to the cabinet and got another glass out.
"I guess your going to need more milk huh?" He asked her
Jaina nodded, and suddenly awoke from the trance she had been in "Yes, that would be nice thank you." She slid into the booth in the corner of the kitchen.
Setting down a glass of blue milk in front of her, Zekk proceeded to slide into the other side of the booth. "I trust you slept well?" he asked her
"Very well thank you." Forcing her eyes to stop looking down at the table, she looked up to notice a tuft of Zekk's hair standing straight up. Giggling to herself all she really wanted to do was go run her hands through it.
"What are you giggling about?" he asked inquisitively
"Oh nothing, did you sleep well?"
"Not really, those darned birds have been squawking all night outside my window." He admitted to her
"You could have come slept with me, I didn't hear a thing till this morning." She told him seductively
Zekk's face turned a shade of bright red, under different circumstances he would have jumped at the chance to sleep with Jaina, even if just meant lying next her body all night. Those slender legs wrapped around him, and Jaina's body pressed up against him what little else was a pair of very short shorts and tank top. Zekk tried to shake the image from his mind, but all he could think of was Jaina in his arms.
"You okay their Zekk?" she asked him
Zekk tried to regain consciousness; wiping the drool off of his mouth he managed to mumble words out. "Yeah I'm.... um okay.
Jaina laughed at the site of him, she hadn't realized she provoked this kind of action in a man's head. Gulping down the last of her milk, she stood up and stretched, walking over to Zekk she patted down the funny patch of hair, leaned over gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and walked out of the kitchen to leave him with his thoughts.
Zekk banged his head on the table. Why do I let this girl have this affect on me? Rynna doesn't have this affect and she's your best friend. That is because she's your best friend, his brain argued with him. If she were Jaina she'd have this affect too. Zekk shook his head again. Must stop thinking about Jaina, must stop thinking about how beautiful she is, must stop thinking about how much you love her. Must stop thinking in general. Finishing off his milk, he sat the cup in the sink.
"This is going to be the longest six days of my life."

Tahiri rolled over for what felt like the twentieth time that night. Rubbing her eyes, she struggled to fall asleep; she just couldn't get over the nagging feeling that someone or something was watching them. The wind rustles through the tree to the right of her, sitting up; she knew she wasn't going to get any sleep tonight. Grabbing a branch she poked at the fire. The woods were eerily quiet, no bugs or night animals making any sounds. Turning her head, she watched Jacen and Raynar sleep soundly. Men they have it so easy, head hits to ground and they're out, She thought to herself. Then she heard a distinctive sound of a branch snapping. Spinning her head to look towards the sound. She saw slight movement, but she couldn't tell if it was human, Vong or something else. She spoke softly towards the movement
"Hello?" Nothing answered her "Is anyone out there?" again no sound
Tahiri stood up, if it wasn't going to answer her then she was going to investigate, clipping her lightsaber to her pants. She headed towards the darkness. "Come out here, I'm not going to hurt you." She spoke to it, taking two steps closer; she panicked as the bipedal figure took off into the night. Curiosity over took Tahiri, it had looked like Human, maybe it was the hermit Illiosh had spoken of. She followed the Figure into the darkness of the woods. Creeping through the trees, she managed to keep up with the figure but not get close enough to see who or what it was. Turning around a bend, she lost sight of the figure, she kept charging ahead. He couldn't have gone too far she thought. Coming to a clearing in the woods, she sighed.
"Where could he have possible gone?" She asked to no one. Sitting down to rest her feet she tried to catch her breath. Hearing a low growl from behind her, she spun around.
"I never should have left camp." She muttered to herself as about 15 things approached. They were the size of a Rancor covered in blue fur and had huge teeth, and they looked hungry. Tahiri gripped her lightsaber, igniting it in hopes that the Beasts would run off. Unfortunately it didn't work that way. The creatures inched closer, surrounding her. The lead one lunged at her; he didn't like the lightsaber singeing his nose. Growling loudly he regrouped with the others. They began their attack on their prey. Tahiri knocked the first one to the ground, cutting it in half, in a split second she turned slicing the ear of another attacking one. Tahiri thrashed at the group with her lightsaber. One plowed into her from behind knocking her down, and she crashed on to a sharp rock. Tahiri instantly felt the gash on her head, but she scrambled to get back on her feet. Her vision was blurry and she could feel the blood gushing from her head. Swinging her lightsaber she tried to keep the pack away. She couldn't keep this up for long. "Jacen!" she screamed hoping that he could hear her. Slashing at another one, the ground started swirling out from under her. Oh this is not good, as the world came spinning around her, Blackness enveloped Tahiri. Blinking furiously to stay awake, she threw her lightsaber at the largest in the pack hoping to hurt it. Just before the darkness over to her, she saw a large shadow jump in front of her, protecting her from the creatures, it ignited a lightsaber, and then the world became black for Tahiri.

Something gently prodded Jacen in the shoulder, rolling over he pushed the inconvenience away from him. Again it tapped him, rolling over he opened his eyes to this nuisance. Staring straight into the eyes of an Amphistaff, Jacen sat up with a jerk. Looking around 20 Vong warriors stood around them, amphistaff's primed to fight.
"Raynar." He shook his friend
"Jacen I'm trying to sleep here." The sleeping boy mumbled
"Raynar you might want to get up." He told him
Raynar sat up rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "What's so imp...... oh!" Raynar gasped as he saw the warriors.
Jacen stood up quickly; extending his arm to what he though was the head Vong. 'I am Ambassador Jacen Solo from the Galactic Alliance, we are on a diplomatic mission to meet with the Head of the parties involved in the Civil war and discuss treaty issues. This is Raynar Thul, he is my council, and..." Jacen looked around, where was Tahiri? Leaning over to Raynar he whispered, "Have you seen Tahiri?" Raynar shook his head.
"Would you happen to know the way to the Leaders camps?" Jacen finished
The Vong looked at him, shouting some words to the Other Vong. The Vong dropped their staffs, but did not look less menacing
"You Infidels should not have come here, you are not welcome on Yuuzhan Tar." The Vong spoke, waving his hand. The other Vong grabbed Jacen and Raynar.
Raynar went to reach for his lightsaber, but Jacen shook his head. "There are simply to many of them, and I don't want to ruin diplomatic negotiations." He whispered to the blond Jedi
The Vong proceeded to tie their arms behind their backs. One Vong nudged them along with his amphistaff.
Jacen spoke up to the head Vong. "Where are you taking us?"
"To our leader." He replied smugly, and continued his way down the path.
"Maybe he can give us some answers." Raynar said optimistically.
Jaina woke to the sound of birds squawking outside her window. Momentarily forgetting where she was, she sat up rubbing her eyes. The last two days events came rushing back to her, and she grinned.
