Ties that bind, chapter eleven
Okay, its off to Yavin! Since it's a three day trip, this chapter is going to be about Wedge and Jaina, and Kyle and Jaden. Hope you like!Oh, and in case you're thinking I've forgotten Erin and the force Valkyries, I haven't. I'm just covering other aspects of the story before brining them back in. Erin's currently hunting down her sister.
"If I am no longer needed on the bridge, I am going to retire. I didn't get much time to rest during my incarceration." Jaina said, standing up and looking at the crew.
"Of course, Admiral. We will contact you when we drop out of hyperspace to reset the course." Lieutenant Raru Parry acknowledged, and Jaina wearily walked out of the room. Leia's eyes met Wedge's, and he saw the unspoken message-something's wrong. Go talk to her.
He got up a moment later, and walked out of the room, taking the turbolift to the living quarters. He found Jaina's room, and pressed the doorbell. No one answered. He pressed his ear to the door and heard water running.
So he overrided the door locks and stepped in just as Jaina turned off the water.
She walked out of her bathroom, and looked at Wedge in shock.
"How'd you get in here?"
"You're not the only one who has the overide codes for every door on this ship, you know." He flashed her a famous Corellian smile, and she gave him one of her own.
"What did you want?" She asked, crossing to her closet, and throwing the doors open. She stepped in and began going through her outfits. She pushed several pink and frilly outfits aside, cringing.
" Am I not allowed to come visit my girlfriend?" He asked and she turned around, and walked over to him, still clad only in a towel.
"Antilles, I am a Jedi and I know you're lying. So what do you want?" She asked, looking at him, serious.
"There's something wrong, and I want to know what it is." He said, looking into her hazel eyes.
Kyle walked down the corridors of the Star Destroyer, remembering the times he spent onboard a Star Destroyer. He stopped in front of a gym and heard the familar hum of a lightsaber. He stepped in the gym and found Jaden circling around a training droid.
She flipped over it and brought her lightsaber down, demolishing the power circuts and shutting it down.
"What's up?" She asked, deactivating her lightsaber and walking over to him. He handed her a towel and she wiped her face off.
" Nothing. I was just wandering around, and decided to come and see what you were doing." He said, and she raised an eyebrow.
"No, really."
Kyle sighed and looked at the scar running down her arm. She got that when they were attacked on Ryloth.
"I need to talk to you, but not here." He said finally, and she nodded, walking out of the room and to her quarters wiyh Kyle.
"Wedge, I'm not sure if I can explain this to you, but I have too much resposibility. I'm a Jedi Knight, a Junior Assistant to my mother, and an Admiral in the New Republic fleet. I can't handle it! I want to end this damn threat to the New Republic and just live life. I dont want to be in the senate, I dont want to be in the fleet, I really dont care if I'm in the Jedi Order. I just wanna be me." She sighed, throwing a robe.
"Jaina, I promise, after we finish off this threat, I'll give you leave for awhile. A vacation. How about that?" Wedge offered, and she sighed.
"Wedge, I dont want temporary leave. I just wanna leave. If I get bored being normal, I'll come back. I just want to spend some time, exploring the galaxy." Jaina sat down on her bed, and Wedge walked over, sat down next to her, and draped his arm over her shoulders.
"Alright, darling. You can leave the fleet for awhile. A few years. But I'm coming with you."
"Say that again."
"I'm coming with you...?"
"No, the other thing."
"Alright, Darling?"
"Yeah, that." Jaina laid her head on his shoulder, and he smiled.
Jaden walked in her room, and Kyle followed.
"So...what did you need to talk to me about?"
"Jaden... you've grown up into a wonderful woman, and I'm glad I had the chance to train you. You've dealt with more than any other apprentice in the order, and I'm proud."
"And I know that's not what you wanted to talk to me about." Jaden rolled her eyes. Typical male, beating around the bush.
"Jaden, you're more than anyone's expected, you're beautiful, and If I get the chance, I'd like to spend my life with you."
Jaden halted from her path to the bathroom, and turned to look at his eyes. He was serious.
"Kyle, I..."
"I understand if you don't feel the same way, but-" He stopped as Jaden's lips met his.
Jaina leaned back and rested on her bed, her legs dangling off the edge. Wedge fell back as well, and she curled up and laid her head on his chest.
"I love you, Wedge."
"I know"
Wedge chuckled. 'Typical Solo response.'
Jaina hooked her leg around his waist, and smirked as her leg brushed over 'something'.
Jaden's hands rested on Kyle's shoulders, his hands sliding down to rest on her hips. They finally parted, sucking in deep breaths.
"You don't know how long I've wanted to do that." Jaden whispered, her forehead resting on his.
"Marry Me?"
Jaden blinked. 'Marry me? I wasn't expecting that..'
"Yes!" She jumped up and wrapped her legs around his waist, hugging him tightly.
"Um, Jaina...I have something to ask you."
"Shoot."
"Would...would you marry me?"
Aww...now isn't that a sweet way to end a chapter? Reveiw, please!
