Jaina didn't want to accept her fate. She wanted to be back in her mom's arms again, where she could at least feel open enough to shed a few tears. Now, it's suddenly a sign of weakness. If she couldn't cry, she at least needed a pillow on which to rest her heavy head.

She made her way through the acadamy back to her chambers according to the map she printed out. Just after she shut the door, she flung herself onto the inviting bed in front of her. Feeling all the energy drained out of her (probably because she hadn't eaten that day), not even enough to cry by, she let her solemn-self drift into slumber.

-

Knock, knock, knock. Someone was at the door.

"Jaina, are you awake?" A male voice questioned.

"Huh?...Dad?" She sleepily asked as she looked at the window to see how light it was outside.

"No, It's Uncle Luke. I figured you knew your father and I better than to get us mixed up." He smiled as he stepped into the room.

"It's barely even light out," She complained as she sat up in bed.

"I know, kinda late, right?" He mistook what she said."We decided to let you sleep in for a while scince you didn't feel well yesterday," He added."Hurry and put some robes on; excercises start in half a time-part.

She thought about this. Late? He must be kiddin' hisself. She thought. She got up, and started to make her way to the refresher, but thought to ask Luke a question a he was turning to leave. She stopped him in mid-step."Luke,uh, Uncle Luke, am I your padawan learner?" This was something she hadn't looked up on the archives-weather Luke had had a padawan yet.

He pondered this statement for a bit, then he finally replied, "No." Then he smiled. "Well, not yet anyway. Hurry up, now and you can practice with me today. I figured the 13-14 range stuff was getting too easy for you, anyway." He chuckled."If you're extra speedy, you can meet me down in the kitchens; I'm sure there's some leftovers." Then he turned and left.

Jaina quickly dressed in dark blue jedi robes and pondered what she was going to do today. My first real day of jedi training! She thought. And with Luke Skywalker! Wow, I hope I can handle it. What am I saying? Of course I can, I'm his neice, she thought. She ran down the corridors as fast as her legs would carry her.

Near one of the main entrances, she saw a boy whom she hadn't seen on the archives wearing similar robes to hers. Maybe I don't know him, she thought. Even if she did already know him, maybe she wouldn't look like too much of a freak walking over and introducing herself. She walked over to him."Hi, I'm Jaina," She stated.

"Yeah, I know, I've seen your exercises. I'm Zam." He replied. Then he smiled. "I got up late and started to head down to the kitchens for leftovers, but the droids aren't letting anyone in."

He was awfully attractive, even with the sleep still in his eyes. He was also in the same age category. What am I thinking! Not even a day as the new Jaina and I'm thinking about guys? "Oh, well, I was just headed that way, too. I'm supposed to be meeting my Uncle Luke there." Jaina said nervously. "Come on, I can get us some breakfast" She added.

As soon as they were in the main entrance to the kitchens, they were greeted at the door by C-3PO.

"Good morning, Mistress Jaina. Master Luke has left a note for you in the main kitchen."

"Okay, I'll get it," She said as she leaded them into the kitchen.

"Cool trick," Zam joked. Jaina smiled.

Jaina,

You were too slow to catch me. Hurry and get some breakfast so you can meet me at the Lily pond for a morning run. Remember, you're training with me today.

"You get to train with Luke Skywalker!" Zam exclaimed.

"Yeah, he says the 13-14 range stuff is too easy for me. Threepio, is my father still gone?" Jaina changed the subject, not wanting to gloat.

"No, mistress Jaina, though he should be returning later this evening." He said.

Jaina watched Zam as he munched on a slice of toast. His dark hair tumbled loosely over his eyebrows. His deep brown eyes sparkled in the morning light. His handsome facial features, broad shoulders, and strong muscles just added to his charm. She caught herself daydreaming about him and shook her head back to saneness. She would definetly study him on the archives after training. Oh no, training!

"I have to get to the Lily pond to meet Uncle Luke. If you want to meet up with me later, you can catch by the stream at starset. We can meditate or something. See you," She said. And with that, she was off.

As she exited the temple, she heard someone with a deep voice say, "How ya doin', tomboy?" She turned around to see a black-haired teen leaning against the temple wall. She tried to see if she could remember if she looked him up on the archives yesterday. Jag, she thought. All she could remember was his name.

"Hello to you, too," He read her mind. He stood straight and slowly walked over to her. He grabbed her hand and pulled her close to him. He held her near him and kissed her passionately in the morning light.

Jaina couldn't pull away. She felt as if something was controlling her. She instead, she had to surrender. Oh, the wonder of it all! She could stay there forever, even if she didn't know much about him. His devious looks said it all about him. Bad ass, obviously doesn't follow the rules. She suddenly found herself thinking about Zam. With this thought, she broke off the kiss.

"What?" Jag queried. "What did I do?"

Exasperated, Jaina said, "Nothing, it's just that I'm late for my exercises. I'm training with Uncle Luke today. I have to get to the Lily pond."

"Then I can get you there safely," He said tenderly as he reached for her hand once again.

She pulled away. "I can manage myself, thank you," She said.

"What's the matter, Jaina? You told me you loved me," He defended.

I did? She thought. "I'm sorry, Jag. I'm just in a hurry, that's all." She said. She looked over at the stardial near her. "Look what time it is; I'll never make it too the Lily pond before seven."

"Come on, I've got something," He replied. He pulled out two snowboard-looking things. He pressed a button on each and it hovered. "Here." He handed her one of the hoverboards. He hopped on the other one. She followed his lead. "Last one there has to help the cleaning droids!" He shouted as they speeded off.
