A Jedi's Love
Emma grinned to herself giddily as she spied on Elsa. She peeked into the room, keeping out of sight and hopping in excitement and joy. Behind her Claire wore a matching grin as they watched the Jedi Knight. They watched as the Jedi Knight blushed, looking away shyly as her lover whispered sweet nothings to her. He was a white haired man and rebel in the Alliance.
And Emma's big brother.
Emma could hardly believe it. Jack and Elsa were actually a couple. Jack had mentioned that he and Elsa were together, but Emma had brushed it off as him exaggerating. But now she was seeing it with her own eyes. Her brother smiled wide as he leaned in to try and steal a kiss. Elsa turned away, having his lips meet her cheek as she tried to shoo him away with a weak shove.
Emma let out a tiny squeal in elation. She figured that one day the platinum blonde Knight would be her Jedi Master. But if her brother didn't screw things up she might even be her maybe, someday, hopefully, future sister in law. They continued to watch as Jack stepped forward to wrap his arms around her waist. With a smile he pulled her close. The Jedi Knight didn't resist, looking up at him through her lashes.
With a grin Jack leaned in and closed his eyes to gently plant a kiss on her lips. The Jedi Knight closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck as she deepened it.
Sensing it was time to leave them to their privacy Emma and Claire backed away. They exchanged a glance before giggling happily at their new discovery. They went to Emma's room to talk about, gushing about how cute and adorable they looked together. Emma already imagined how adorable their children were going to be and hoped that she'd be a bridesmaid at the maybe, someday, hopefully, future wedding.
The thought of love and weddings suddenly made her mind wander to a boy she'd met who'd stolen her own heart. She sighed as she stared off into space and picture them together.
Claire blinked as she noticed her best friend zone out with a goofy smile on her face. She waved her hand a few inches in front of her nose to try and snap her out of it. "Hello. Emma? You in there?" she teased.
Emma blinked, blushing as she came back to the present. "Oh, yeah sorry," she mumbled in embarrassment. But Claire's mouth twitched upward into a sly grin.
"I know who you're thinking about." Emma flinched and blushed as she shook her head vigorously in denial. "You're thinking about Hiro." At the mention of his very name Emma got butterflies and turned a red. She let out a squeak and buried her face into her pillow to hide her blush.
"Emma and Hiro, sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-OOF!" Claire fell over as Emma threw a pillow at her face with the Force.
With a huff Emma smiled proudly as Claire removed the pillow to glare at her, but then she paused as Emma's face fell and she sighed again. This one sad.
"What's wrong Emma?" Claire asked in concern.
Emma fiddled with a loose strand of hair. Her hair was almost completely white now. Indicating her growth and maturation. "Do you think I'll ever see him again?" she asked softly. She'd never forgotten the boy she'd met during her time at the dark academy. The brave Corellian boy who'd tried to save her life and get her out of there.
"I'm sure you will Emma," Claire said to comfort her.
She thought that would make her happy. But she only seemed to grow sadder. "Do you think he'll want to see me? I mean the last time I saw him I was trying to kill him," she was forced to remember. She'd been given an amulet that had temporarily turned her to the dark side. She'd been ordered to fight him and had been hell bent on killing him when her brother and the Alliance showed up.
"I'm sure he know that's not your fault."
Emma only shrugged as she hugged a knee to her chest. She'd do anything to see or hear from Hiro again. She wondered if the boy even thought about her. Or maybe he'd moved on and found another girl. One who wouldn't threaten his life and come at him with a lightsaber. As she looked down at the ground wistfully a pillow suddenly slammed into her face and sent her sprawling on the floor.
She sat up with a scowl as Claire looked down at her with a playful smile. "Now we're even," Claire said as she stuck her tongue out at her. Emma glared before leaping up. Claire let out a scared shriek as she ran out of the room. Emma pursued, chasing the red head though the Temple while the Kinnaran warrior watched on curiously.
They passed their classmates who stared after them as they ran by. Eventually they nearly crashed into Elsa and Jack. Claire came to a stop before ducking behind the Jedi Knight and grabbing her robes.
"Master Elsa protect me," she said as she used the Knight as a shield.
Emma came to a complete stop, smiling sheepishly up at the confused Knight.
"Hi Elsa. Hey Jack," Emma greeted awkwardly.
"Emma. Claire," Elsa greeted in turn. "What were you two doing?"
"Nothing, just teasing Emma about her boyfriend," Claire teased. Emma stiffened up with a blush.
"Boyfriend?" Jack asked with an arched brow.
"Well he's not really my boyfriend. He's just a boy I met at the dark academy who became my friend," Emma tried to explain casually as her cheeks pinkened.
"And Emma loves him," Claire added with waggling brows. The Burgessian girl shot her a death glare. But the redhead was unafraid with the Jedi Knight as her shield.
"Is this true Emma?" Jack asked. Emma's blush grew. But she gave a shy nod. "Well then it's official," Jack said. Emma looked up at him, only to find his face serious. "Hiro must die."
"Oh Jack I think you're being over dramatic," Elsa said with a laugh.
"No one is dating my baby sister," Jack shot back.
"Uh, hello. Not a baby," Emma said in her defense.
"Well it doesn't matter anyway. You're a Jedi and Jedi don't date."
Emma's jaw fell. "But you and Elsa are dating!" she cried. Elsa's eyes widened and she blushed.
"That doesn't count. Tell her Elsa," Jack said looking at his girlfriend for support.
Elsa only shrugged. "We've decided to change the code Jack. Emma is free to be with anyone she chooses," she said with a shrug. Emma crossed her arms over her chest and looked up smugly at her brother, waiting for his rebuttal. Not surprisingly he didn't have one.
He sighed in defeat. "Yeah. Ok," he relented. "But if I ever meet this Hiro I'm going to shoot him."
"What was that?" Elsa asked.
"Nothing," Jack said dismissively. With that the Knight and smuggler left the girls. They stood side by side as the couple walked away, smiling after them and how cute they were together.
Then Claire suddenly sensed danger. She glanced sideways to see Emma giving her a sinister smile. Claire realized that with Elsa gone she'd lost her shield. She smiled sheepishly as the Burgessian girl cracked her knuckles.
With a squeak Claire took off running with Emma in pursuit.
Emma, Jack's sister.
