A/N: Honi is from the Jedi Apprentice series, the book The Captive Temple. She is a two-year-old then, who Obi-Wan saved. I always thought that she'd show up at some later time, and yesterday I realized that her description matched Mara Jade's. I thought this would be interesting, so if you want me to continue, review! Some other characters who might show up: Vergere, Thracia Cho Leem, Darth Sidious, maybe some NJO characters.
Disclaimer: Star Wars is George Lucas's. Honi is Jude Watson's. The plot is mine. (basically)

If looks could kill…
Mara Jade winced as a girl walking through post-Empire Coruscant glared at her. She had no idea what she had done to the girl, but as the Emperor's Hand, she had earned many enemies. This girl could be the relative of someone she had killed.
But regardless of her danger sense blaring in her head, Mara felt an intense curiosity regarding this girl. She was maybe ten, and yet stood apart from everyone. An invisible wall seemed to surround her and drive off anyone who wanted to speak to her.
Mara strode purposefully toward the girl, who was beginning to look unsettled as Mara came closer. She turned to walk away, but Mara quickened her pace and easily caught up to the girl.
"Do you want something?" the girl asked coldly. Then Mara's blaster was pressed against her back.
"I want you to tell me your name and why you were just staring at me." Mara kept the blaster against her back.
The girl smiled. "And then you'll kill me. I think I'll pass. Why bother satisfying you before I die?"
"Because if you don't tell me, then I'll make you wish that you were dead!" Mara snarled.
"Okay, fine," the girl sighed. "I'm Honi, and I'm from the past."
"The truth!"
"That is the truth! I swear, I'm a Jedi trainee at the Jedi Temple."
"Puh-leeze." But despite everything, Mara wondered. Nobody in her right mind would admit to being a Jedi- unless she didn't know not to. And, this girl spoke with so much intelligence. It was unreal, but.
Honi seemed to understand that she finally believed, and continued. "I was staring at you because I sometimes have visions, and I once had a vision of you. You're my daughter."
Mara laughed. This was getting a bit ridiculous. And yet.
She had never known her parents. The Emperor had taken her from them at a young age, and it was very possible that she was Honi's daughter. But this was insane.
"Fine, Honi. If you can really travel through time, then bring me with you to your Jedi Temple.'
Honi watched her silently. Then she spoke. "All right."
"All right?" Mara couldn't believe it. "Then go ahead."
The whole world seemed to spin, and suddenly, a whirlwind seized her, and all was dark except for one thought in her mind.
Honi wasn't kidding.
