Hey readers! I'm back already with another chapter! Yay!
Chapter 2
"Hey Tenel Ka? Can we slow down maybe?" Jacen asked. He ran ar full speed to keep up with his warrior friend, though she hardly broke a brisk jog. Sweat dripped from his hair and face.
"But Jacen, my friend, do you not wish to reach the pool as soon as possible?" Tenel Ka did not even breath heavily as she spoke. Jacen glanced over at her. She never cesed to amaze him. He shook his head and tried to concentrate on the run.
The two continued running through the jungle untill they reached a small pool. The water was a radiant, refreshing blue. Jacen smiled as he sat on the ground and caught his breath. He began unlacing his boots. Tenel Ka sat beside him and did the same.
"Are you tired, Jacen? I did not think such a short distance you tire you. I am sorry."
"Sometimes I really think that you are trying to kill me, Tenel Ka. I really do." He shook his head and grinned.
"Ah. Aha. But if I wished to kill you I would have done so much sooner."
"Yeah, I guess you're right." He stood, barefoot, and began unsnapping his jumpsuit. Tenel Ka had already finished undressing down to her undergarments. He fleetingly wondered how she had mandged to undress so quickly with only one arm. He glanced at what was left of the appendage. He recalled the day of the accident, the role he had played. But he cleared his head of such thoughts. Tenel Ka had forgiven him a long time ago.
"Are you ready Jacen?"
The two ran full speed toward the water. Tenel Ka dove in gracefully while Jacen spread his arms and legs to make the largest splash possible.
Tenel Ka resurfaced first and looked around, expecting to see her friend. "Jacen? Jacen, my friend, where are you?"
He did not appear. She began to worry, fearing he misjudged the depth or encountered a dangerous beast in the depths. After the incident on Cloud City, she had become secretly protective of him. Suddenly she felt a strong jerk on her leg. She tried to kick whatever had grabbed her away, but she felt nothing. She looked through the water questioningly, but could see no threat. Then she was engulfed in water.

Zakk slipped into his regular seat next to Jaina at morning meal. "Morning, everyone," he smiled and grabbed a piece of fruit from a bowl in the middle of the table. He pecked Jaina on the cheek, his lips sticky from the fruit.
"Eww, you dirty boy," Jaina said in a teasing tone, wiping her cheek. She grabbed his shirt colar and kissed him passionately on the mouth.
Lowbacca mumbled a low growl.
"Indeed, Master Lowbacca. I fear I shall never be able to understand human beings." Em Tee De replied.
"Sorry, guys." Jaina wiped the fruit juice from her lips and looked lovingly at Zekk.
"So where's Jacen and Tenel Ka?" Zekk took a long drink of his juice.
"I recall seeing them leave the academy together this morning."Lowie's translator droid added.
"Ah, now I remember. Jacen was going with Tenel Ka for her morning exercises." Jaina began slicing the sausages on her plate.
"Wow. He must really be in love with her to do that." Zekk was stunned.
"Who said anything about my brother being in love with Tenel Ka?"
"Oh, please, Jaina. Everyone can see it. I can't believe you haven't noticed."
Lowie nodded in agreement.
"Those two have been eyeing each other for years."
