Ok, this is my 1st attempt at a fanfic, so, please don't be too mean. I can take constructive criticism though.

Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars. I just have better ideas than those losers. j/k.

Intro

Night. What makes it so calming? Is it the silence; listening to the gentle breathing of loved ones nearby? Is it the darkness, protecting you like an inky blanket? Is it the simple feeling of unwinding? Or, is it being woken up at 3 a.m. by your sister's kids? Now there's a thought?

"Uncle Luke? Has our little sibling been born yet?" asked 6-year-old Jaina Solo.

"I already told you two. Your dad's gonna call us when it happens," said Luke Skywalker rolling back on his side & wrapping his arms around his wife, Mara Jade, who was still asleep.

"Uncle Luke?" Jacen (Jaina's twin brother) whispered.

"Mphgg?" Luke mumbled into Mara Jade's hair.

"We can't sleep." They stated in unison.

"Perfect," Luke muttered, followed by some VERY colorful swearing.

"Would you tell us a story? Pretty please?" Jacen begged.

"Alright," Luke sighed. "But let's go back to your room so we don't wake up Aunt Mara." He got up & followed the two J Bombs into the guestroom.

"So, what do you want the story to be about?" Luke asked, shutting the door.

"A warier princess!" Jaina exclaimed.

"Your mom been letting you guys watch Xena, Warier Princess lately?" Luke knew that Leia was obsessed with that show.

"Yep," said Jacen.

Luke then realized he didn't know any bedtime stories about warier princesses (having never watched Xena) or any princesses for that matter. Except a true one.

"Ok, I've got one," said Luke after thinking for a while. "But it might be a little scary."

"That's ok," said Jaina. "Me and Jacen are going to be Jedi. And Jedi aren't afraid of anything."

"You think that's true, huh?" Luke laughed. He cleared his throat and began his story.
