A/N: It is Mother's Day, true. However, I am not going 2 do a Mother's Day special. I couldn't think of one. But right now, my mom is getting her nails done, my dad & little brother are at his peewee baseball game, and I'm home alone. I wrote this chapter during Study Hall, which (have I told you this b4, readers?) is one step down from a detention.
Disclaimer: Lucas's, not mine. 'Nuff said.
Luke sat down on the couch and propped his feet up on the coffee table. Mara was on a business trip for Karrde, and wouldn't be back for a week at the soonest. But Luke didn't mind. This was the first weekend he had to himself in a loooooooong time.
He was just about to flick on a podrace, when his comlink went off. "Skywalker here," he answered, as was customary in the time of the Rebellion.
"Luke?" a desperate sounding voice replied. "It's Leia. Would you mind taking Jaina and Jacen out to diner or something?"
"Well, I was kinda just about to-" But Leia cut him off.
"Please Luke?" She sounded on the verge of tears. "The cable's busted, Jaina and Jacen are playing 'When Grandpa Skywalker Killed All the Jedi', 3PO's driving me nuts, and I need a break really, really ba-a-ad" Her voice broke apart on that last syllable
Luke hated hearing his sister cry. It wasn't something she usually did. "All right. I'll take them to Dex's for your sanity's sake."
"You will?" she sniffled. "Great! I'll bring them right over."
oooooooooooOOOOOOOooooooooooo
An hour later, the three were sitting in a booth at Dex's Diner, with Jacen holding a ketchup bottle threateningly over Jaina's Coke.
"Do it and I'll beat the crap out of you!" she warned.
"I'm not doing anything," Jacen smiled, squeezing the bottle. "Gravity did that."
Jaina grabed the mustard and squeezed the contents into Jacen's Sprite. "Gravity did THAT!"
"Hey, thanks!" he said taking a sip.
Jaina flipped his burger in his face. The whole thing would have erupted into a huge slap fight, if Luke hadn't pulled them away from each other. "THAT'S ENOUGH!" he shouted. "Now, we are going to settle this problem that way your Aunt Mara and I do."
"Talking it out?" Jaina asked, making a gag-me motion with her finger.
"Not exactly," said Luke.
oooooooooooOOOOOOOooooooooooo
A few minutes later, they were in the training room of the Jedi Temple, Jaina and Jacen both sporting training sabers and sparing gear. They faced each other with menacing looks on their faces.
"Now, bow to your opponent," Luke said. Neither of them moved. "I said, BOW!" Luke sighed and used the Force to make them bow. "That's better. Now, you know the rules. No fatal injuries unless completely necessary. Ready? FIGHT!"
Jaina and Jacen lashed out at each other so fiercely, Luke had to back away in fear of being hit. They started calling each other names in almost every language known across the galaxy.
An hour later, they were STILL fighting, and no one seemed to have an advantage. Both Jaina and Jacen were bruised and cut pretty badly. Luke decided to call off the fight before they got seriously hurt.
"So that's how you and Aunt Mara solve your arguments?" asked Jaina as they piled into Luke's speeder.
"No, we use real lightsabers and no sparing gear."
"Wow!" Jacen breathed. "If my sister can fight me this hard with a TRAINING saber, I never wanna get married!"
Jaina and Jacen could swear they saw Luke smile in the rear view mirror.
