(A/N: I am so sorry for reposting this story. But due to an incredibly nasty flame I received, I had no choice because I didn't want my fans to read something like that. So for the future, if you read my story and don't like it, please be nice about it. And once again, George Lucas owns Star Wars and I do not. C.S. Lewis owns The Chronicles of Narnia and I do not. With that said, enjoy the first chapter of the sequel to "Jedi In Narnia"."
Winter had come to Narnia now, but it was a natural winter and not one caused by the white witch, much to the relief of the Narnians. The Narnians always loved a good Christmas celebration, so ever since the Pevensies had arrived and the Golden Age of Narnia had begun there was always a grand celebration at Cair Paravel. Lots of dancing, feasting, opening of presents, and a Christmas speech by King Peter were the highlights of the evening. But as one can imagine, such a grand celebration left everyone exhausted and wanting to relax. And so King Peter, Queen Susan, King Edmund, and Queen Lucy were spending the day after Christmas relaxing with hot tea and cakes in the balconied lounge that faced west.
"That was so much fun last night, wasn't it Peter?" Lucy asked.
"Sure was, Lu. You seemed to be having a merry time ripping into those presents." Peter said as he sipped his tea.
"Oh yes, I especially enjoyed this beautiful necklace from Mr. Tumnus. I wonder how he managed to get it." Lucy said, fingering the necklace around her neck.
"You're his closest friend in Narnia, so I'm sure he figured out something." Susan said.
"I know, I'm glad Mr. Tumnus and I are such close friends." Lucy said, and then got a solemn look on her face.
"What now, Lucy?" Susan asked.
"But I still miss Jaina so much; I wish she was here to enjoy the fun." Lucy said quietly.
"Oh for the love of Aslan, Lucy. That's the millionth time you've said that and she's been gone only 5 months!" Edmund exclaimed with exasperation.
Edmund received a rather sharp slap upside his head from Peter as a result, who exclaimed "That will be quite enough from you, Ed!"
"Yes, DAD." Edmund snapped and quietly sulked in his chair.
Peter and Susan just glared at him, and then turned their attention back to Lucy who still looked depressed. Edmund had been right; she hadn't stopped talking about how much she missed Jaina ever since the Solos returned home 5 months ago. But Jaina was one of her best friends, how could she not talk about her?
"It'll be allright, Lu. You'll see her again someday." Peter said, patting Lucy's hand.
"Do you think she misses me, though?" Lucy quietly asked.
"I'm sure she does, Lucy." Susan said.
Meanwhile on Yavin
Jaina was curled up on her bed in one of the dormitory rooms in the Jedi Temple. Having finished up her training exercises with her Uncle Luke for the day, she decided to take it easy and relax a little bit before waiting for her brothers to finish their training exercises. As she lay on the bed playing with the sheets, she was thinking about how much she missed Narnia since her return home two weeks ago. She missed the beautiful forests, the grand castle of Cair Paravel, the delicious food served to her and her brothers at mealtimes, and the excitement of being dubbed a knight of Narnia. But most of all, she missed her Narnian friends. There was one particular friend she missed the most, the little girl that she considered to be her best friend in all of Narnia.
"Is everything alright, dear?" Leia said and Jaina turned to see her mother standing in the doorway.
"Oh I'm fine, Mom. I just miss the little sister I never had." Jaina replied.
"Little sister you never had? What on Yavin are you talking about?" Leia asked.
"Well, you remember that Narnia place the boys and I have been talking about? I met a little girl there and we became instant best friends." Jaina said.
"You mean that place you three won't stop talking about?" Leia asked in amazement.
"Yes Mom, that place. And I don't care how many times Dad calls it an outer rim wasteland, Jacen, Ani, and I were actually there." Jaina insisted.
"Ok, ok, hun. If you say you were there, then I believe you. But I have to go speak to your uncle now, so if you need me come find us in the conference room." Leia said and walked out of the room.
Jaina just sighed as she traced an imaginary circle on the bed with her finger. She missed Lucy terribly, that little girl was always such a joy to be around. She missed Lucy's suffocating hugs most of all as it always made her laugh and brightened her up if she was depressed. But she was jerked out of her thoughts by her brothers' loud chatter and them entering the room.
"Hello Jaina, mind if we join you in here?" Jacen asked.
"No, come on in. I want to talk to you two anyway." Jaina said and the boys came in and sat on the edge of the bed.
"So, what have you been thinking about lately?" Jacen asked.
"You should know, you two have been thinking about the exact same thing." Jaina replied.
"Narnia, huh? I think we all miss it a lot." Anakin said.
"I know I sure do. But I miss our friends the most." Jaina said.
"Let me guess, you miss Lucy the most." Anakin replied.
"Of course, Ani. She was my best friend and she's such a sweet little girl. I really miss her practically suffocating me whenever she gave me a hug. That always put me in a good mood." Jaina replied.
"I know what you mean. I really miss Peter and Susan myself. They are two of the most caring people I know." Jacen said.
"Well, what do you miss most about them?" Anakin asked.
"Hmm…I guess I would have to say I miss Susan's smile and Peter's sense of humor the most." Jacen replied.
"And you, Ani? Who do you miss the most from Narnia?" Jaina asked.
"Oh that's easy, I miss Edmund." Anakin replied.
Jaina and Jacen tried not to snicker at their brother's comment. They knew as well as any Narnian how much of a smart aleck Edmund was. Still, they had to admit to themselves he could be a good kid sometimes.
"What, it's true. I do miss Edmund, we were pretty close. In fact, I still remember that time we decided to scare Lucy by hiding in her closet." Anakin said.
"Force, I remember that too. And you might also remember how both of you had huge bruises on your heads, courtesy of Peter, as a result." Jaina replied.
The Solos laughed as they reminisced of all the good times they had with the Pevensies and their other Narnian friends during their month long visit after the defeat of the white witch. There was the time that Jaina and Lucy attempted to bake cakes in the castle kitchen, the time that all seven of them played hide and seek and it took them hours to find each other, the time that they helped Peter plan an important speech to give before the army regarding their relationship with Archenland, and the time that Susan attempted to get them involved in the guessing game with words but they were more interested in showing the Pevensies their Force lift abilities instead and lifted the dictionary right out of Susan's lap.
"Oh Force, we had some wonderful times in Narnia." Jaina said, leaning back against her pillows.
"That we did, Jaina. That we did." Jacen said.
"And we still can." Anakin piped in, which earned him looks of confusion from the twins.
"What are you talking about, Ani?" Jaina asked.
"Well, think about it. We're all done with our training for the day, Mom and Uncle Luke are busy in that meeting, and Dad's off with Chewie fiddling with the Millenium Falcon's control panel. I say, why don't we pay our Narnian friends a visit this afternoon?" Anakin suggested.
"That's a great idea. I would love to see everyone again." Jacen said.
"I get to see Lucy again!" Jaina exclaimed.
The boys just rolled their eyes at their sister as they walked out of the room, excited to return to Narnia and see old friends again.
