	Author: CarrKicksDoor Title: So Much For Our Happy Endings Fandom: Star Wars Timeframe: Five years after the Hand of Thrawn Trilogy Keywords: Inyri Forge, Wes Janson, Hobbie Klivian, Summary: Inryi and Hobbie thought their secret was safe. They should have known that nothing escapes New Republic Intelligence. Status: In progress Notes: Unless you have read the short stories that come before this, it will make no sense. They're all in my profile. Start with Doppelganger, then An Affair to Forget, and then Unfit for a Normal Life. Then come back and read this story, and things will make much more sense. This story is dedicated to InyriForge. If no one else is reading, I would write these stories for her anyway. Enjoy! ~Carr * The sea of shining faces—some human, some green and some furry—were happily looking up at the teacher in front of the room when Inyri poked her head into the program room. “Good afternoon, kids,” she said, smiling. A chorus of voices all spoke at once as the kids got up and rushed towards her, greeting her in numerous dialects. Behind them, she saw her husband, stepping over the mats in the floor as she was swarmed by the children. “All right, you rats, let Inyri get a breath. Go back and sit down, and we’ll finish story time here in a minute, all right?” Wes Janson smiled at his wife, now with an armful of a small girl. He kissed Inyri, and smiled at the girl in his wife’s arms. “Lace, why don’t you go sit down with the others? Your mom is going to be here soon.” Inyri put Lace down, and Wes moved into to kiss her again. Several of the young boys cried “Ew,” at them, and Wes grinned as he turned around. “Just you all wait until you get to be my age. Then you’ll think girls are cool.” One wrinkled his nose at him. “Not for kissing. That’s gross.” Inyri swooped down and picked the boy up. “And what would you say if I kissed you all over then?” He turned red as Inyri sat down and put him in her lap. “Shh,” she said, pointing towards Wes. “He’s going to finish the story.” Wes’ comedic talents let him do the voices in the book perfectly, and by the time he was finished, parents had started appearing. Within fifteen minutes, the children had all retrieved their coats and scampered out of the room. Inyri smiled as Lace, the last one to leave, waved goodbye to them. “I saw two new ones today,” Inyri said, as Wes wrapped his arm around her. “Your after-school program is really taking off.” Wes grinned. “I know. We’re going to have to find the money for another teacher, though, to help the older ones with their homework. The young ones are easy to entertain, but Bith Literature is beyond me.” “I still think you should try having some of the older kids help out with some of the younger ones,” Inyri said. “I mean, it doesn’t help the problem with needed help for the older ones, but still.” Wes nodded, pulling her close. “You’re off duty for the rest of the day?” Inyri nodded. “And only two more weeks left on duty until my retirement is official from today.” She patted his chest. “What do you think about that?” “I think you should start studying up on Bith Literature,” Wes said. * “Congratulations, Hobbie. I just got you a deal for another book.” Hobbie looked bemusedly at his agent, who was sitting across the desk from him and had consumed entirely too much caf. “Fantastic. I’ve been working on this plot ever since I started the book on the Battle of Coruscant. It really shouldn’t take me long to put out a first draft—I’ve got the entire story worked out.” Loral, his agent, fidgeted. “Well, I didn’t exactly get you the deal for that book, Hobbie,” he said. “It’s not that they aren’t interested in a fiction book from you, but all your non-fiction writing has sold so well, and really, they want more non-fiction writing from you. So, they want another non-fiction book.” Hobbie sighed. “I’ve covered the big battles, Loral. Hoth, Coruscant, Endor, which I swore never to do, and Yavin, which I wasn’t actually in.” He shrugged. “I could do Bakura, or the incident with the Black Fleet, but really, I wasn’t that involved in either of those. Part of why I’m a reliable source is because I’m actually there.” “Can’t you do the search for Zsinj?” Loral said. “We keep having people wanting you do write about that.” Hobbie sighed. “I told you already, Loral, half of that stuff is classified. It could be years until it’s declassified.” Loral looked at him from across the desk. “They offered you the fiction book if you did this non-fiction book first.” If looks could kill, Loral would have been blown backwards through several walls, through transparisteel windows and falling through the mists all the way to wherever the ground on Coruscant might be. “Send me the contract in the morning, then,” Hobbie said. * “To Inyri’s retirement,” Wes said, raising his glass. “To Hobbie’s new books, and to the school.” Inyri smiled as she clinked her glass against her husband’s, and Hobbie lifted his before taking a drink of his elba beer. “We all seem to have opportunities coming around left and right,” Hobbie remarked. “Everything seems to be falling into place for all of us at the same time for once.” “Hear, hear,” Inyri said, smiling. Wes smiled at the two people in the galaxy he cared the most for. “To the three of us, then. That all our days will be this happy from now on.” * -----signature----- Carrolé, Handmaiden of the Crest Not even your deepest secrets escape the NRI: So Much For Our Happy Endings: http://boards.theforce.net/Message.aspx?topic=23843466&brd=10477

	Uh... I'm so nervous... because pretty soon the angst is going to happen. It's inevitable, and not just because you already said it would. It's because you're an angsty writer. You can't help yourself, can you? Me either. I've tried like ten times to write happy stories and end up stopping halfway because they're all so evil and sad and dark. But that's okay. Angst is good. I think. Anyways... uh... bring it on. I'm ready. I've got my combat gear and helmet so when I start convulsing, I won't hurt anything. At least, nothing on me. I'd better stay away from the laptop, though. -----signature----- My body wears a green scent, as on the verge Between green laughter and green sorrow I have walked all day Until my legs have gone lame, and still the spring seems spirited away. --Yi Sanghwa

	KT, Very true. Of course, things aren't all sunshine and roses... Crazy, I have no idea why I'm so bent towards angst. But angst is real life! And no, I can't help myself. Angst happens. But it's not going to be sad and dark...Just angsty and heart-wrenching. AK, everyone thinks they know what's coming...but I bet that you don't. ~Carr -----signature----- Carrolé, Handmaiden of the Crest Not even your deepest secrets escape the NRI: So Much For Our Happy Endings: http://boards.theforce.net/Message.aspx?topic=23843466&brd=10477

	You know, you told me that your Inyri story technically ended "happy" because it took place before UfaNL. But of course that wasn't the end. No, oh angst woman of doom, it wasn't.

	Ooooo another fic with these three! And more angst? Carr! Why can't you just write a happy pilot fic with them - they've been through enough :P Seriously, your writing, as always, is magnificent!

InyriForge Registered: Jan '02	Date Posted: 5/11/06 6:29am Subject: RE: So Much For Our Happy Endings (An Inyri, Hobbie and Janson story)
	So I reread Unfit for a Normal Life last night at about 2 am. It's so interesting to see how my opinions on what all was happening have so vastly changed. I was so quick to blame Wes for whatever went wrong (it just had to be his fault, right? He's the one more likely to screw it up) and now knowing the whole story, I just see him as completely blameless. (I know, he did lie, but...well, it's not like he slept with Rhysati or Mirax or anyone). And then, the scene where he won't get involved with Shalla because he's still married...wow. At the time, I remember being surprised and proud of him, and now it's just ten trillion times more admirable since I know Inyri's side. Wes is just such a good guy. sigh Inyri(character) definately doesn't deserve him. Although I have a feeling that when everything comes out in this fic, I very well may end up eating those words. Then again, I really wouldn't blame him if he did decide to leave Inyri for Shalla (if Shalla's even in this fic). Okay, I need to go get work done. bah. Would much rather read pilotfic and post multiple times on this thread. Tell me if I get annoying. ~Inyri -----signature----- Good things can come from Kessel.

	MC, oh, keep worrying, my dear, keep worrying. Inyri, watches Inyri do the pilot!fic dance See, this is how I feel when I read your stories. Crazy, well, just don't drink yourself into an early grave, dear. There's much more where this came from. JM, Because, like Crazy said, I'm incapable of writing a happy story. LOL. Really, my philosophy is that happy stories aren't life! And besides, if everything is happy, no one keeps on reading...:p Inyri, 2 AM! :o Goodness, girl! Wes is a good guy, but think about this when you read this post...what did Cracken do to get him to agree to the first mission....we don't know! (Actually, I don't know either, but there had to be something.) Anyway, here's the next post! Enjoy it, because I'm leaving for the Bahamas in the morning and won't be back for a week. And yes, you may comment on my evilness, both as far as plot and as far as cliffhangers after you read. ~Carr *** Inyri had long learned to treat summons from Intelligence with suspicion and loathing. When she sat down in outside Airen Cracken’s office next to Hobbie Klivian, the suspicion and loathing turned into an outright fear and dread that congealed in the pit of her stomach into a ball of complete unease. “Don’t tell me. You got a call from him as well.” Hobbie nodded. “When he calls, it’s in your best interest to answer. I actually got an agent in person at my door. Seemed to think I might not come without a personal escort.” The young woman sitting at the receptionist’s desk was quiet as they said this, but Inyri suspected that she was taking down everything they said, and that the receptionist was ten times more deadly than Inyri and Hobbie put together. “The general will see you two now.” The door to Cracken’s office opened and glancing at Hobbie, Inyri rose, straightened her uniform and entered before him. Cracken was sitting at his desk. His office was surprisingly bare, the only decoration a rather depressingly dark modern painting over his head and a revolving holo on his desk. Even the pictures of his family in the holo were formal pictures with no indication of warmth in them. “Please sit down,” Cracken said, not bothering to look at the two of them as they entered the room. “I prefer to stand,” Inyri said as Hobbie moved to sit down in one of the chairs across from Cracken’s desk. “Really, Major Forge,” Cracken said, looking up slightly, “you should probably save your belligerence for later in this conversation.” Inyri sat down, firmly resolved to remain belligerent. “Then, respectfully, General, what do you want? I have two weeks until retirement, and I’m having a hard time figuring out what you want with me right now.” The general finally put down his datapad and looked up at the two of them. “I have need of you both. I need you to retrieve a datarod for me. It’s got some valuable information regarding a few gentlemen in the Empire and the Corporate Sector. You two are going to go get it for me.” “Odd that you’re so definite on the fact that we’re going to get it for you,” Hobbie said. “I don’t work for you anymore, and if I remember correctly, Inyri isn’t an Intelligence officer. How does this work then?” “It works as in I have information that I believe Major Janson would find incredibly interesting,” Cracken said, standing up. His tone was carefully non-judgmental. “In that during the time you, Major Forge, were separated from him, you slept with Major Klivian. Twice.” They both stood up then, Hobbie so quickly and with such violence that his chair flew backwards. Inyri was already throwing invective towards Cracken but found her voice gone as Hobbie was suddenly at the general’s throat, his hands fisted in the material of the man’s uniform. “You don’t even want to go there,” Hobbie said, his tone dangerous. “I suggest you let me go, Major,” Cracken said, his voice even. “Immediately.” “Hobbie,” Inyri said, her voice almost begging him to heed her words before he did something incredibly stupid. “Let him go, please.” Hobbie’s hands released Cracken’s uniform almost immediately. “Start talking before I have the sudden urge to smash your head through your desk.” Cracken almost nonchalantly straightened his uniform. “I have no personal objections to your indiscretions,” he said. “I am merely stating that the fact that I possess such information is one of the reasons you will go on this mission for me.” “One of the reasons?” Inyri said suspiciously. “I am prepared to offer incentives as well,” Cracken said. “For example, I believe you wished to retire at the rank of Commander, Major Forge. And I’m certain that I can come up with the funds somewhere for you to be able to hire another teacher for Major Janson’s after-school program.” He turned his attention to Hobbie. “And I’m sure I can see my way towards declassifying the information related towards the hunt for Zsinj.” Cracken’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Hobbie. “And you, Major Klivian, still owe me a favor, if you remember correctly. Surely you didn’t think I was never going to call it in.” The look on Hobbie’s face was pure fury. “You’ve got us all bought and paid for, don’t you? Must be nice, Cracken.” Inyri carefully laid a hand on Hobbie’s arm to prevent him from carrying out his threat of smashing Cracken’s head through the desk. Besides, she wanted first crack at the wily old man if violence was going to ensue. “We’re not your playthings. You have thousands of Intelligence officers that you could send after this. Why us?” Cracken resumed his seat behind his desk. “Entertainment value.” Hobbie broke out swearing in a Ralltiir dialect, and Inyri couldn’t blame him. “If that’s it, then I suggest you call the Twi’lek dancing establishement. We’re not a kriffing holo.” “Please, Major Klivian,” Cracken said. “You should learn to appreciate irony a little more. It so happens that you actually know the contact, Major Klivian. His name is Commander Vash Ganesis. Served the Imperial Fleet with distinction for many years, and like yourself, after his retirement, began writing accounts of battles he was part of. It so happens that you will be meeting him at a joint book signing on Kaing-lang. He has the information we need.” He turned to Inyri. “You, Major Forge, will find it necessary to take your trainee squadron out on a training run before their graduation from the academy. This run will take place near Kaing-lang, and you will join Major Klivian at the book signing as a guest of honor, due to your featured prominence in his books.” Cracken looked up. “In addition, we will then have your squadron standing by should you need air cover for any reason, although I see no reason why they should. Normally, I would consider this mission for Major Klivian alone, however, Imperial Intelligence suspects that Ganesis may be planning to defect. This is hardly true, as he is much more use to us from the Empire, but you may need backup.” He held out a datacard. “Here are the mission parameters. And I’ll remind you that this is entirely classified.” His eyes focused on Inyri. “That includes your husband, Commander Forge.” Inyri snatched the datacard out of his hand. “Damn you, Cracken. Damn you to the ninth Corellian hell.” Cracken barely smiled. “Good day, Commander. Major.” It took Inyri a second to realize that they were being dismissed, and once she did, she gritted her teeth before executing a perfect about face and walking out the door, Hobbie in perfect step behind her. They didn’t speak until they were out on the street, and Inyri had a chance to look at his furious face once again. “More lies,” Hobbie growled. “Figures.” Inyri shook her head as she opened the door to her speeder. “No. No more lies.” He looked at her, not understanding as she unlocked the other door and gestured for him to get in. “What do you mean?” Inyri fixed him with a stare. “I mean that we go tell my husband the truth.” *** -----signature----- Carrolé, Handmaiden of the Crest Not even your deepest secrets escape the NRI: So Much For Our Happy Endings: http://boards.theforce.net/Message.aspx?topic=23843466&brd=10477

	Yes! Yes! Just tell him, Inyri! Wow, though. I mean, it's kinda funny ... I read ToS and I want to give Cracken a hug. I this and I want to beat him up as much as Hobbie does. And Inyri (author) is right. Poor Wes. And Ri: well, it's not like he slept with Rhysati or Mirax or anyone Just gonna point out that at least (though this only makes Hobbie look a bit better) Hobbie was single. Rhysati and Mirax are both married, unless this is some bizarre AU and Carr is holding out on us. EDIT - Oh, Carr, are you doing PMs?> -----signature----- "Pretty.

	watches Inyri do the pilot!fic dance See, this is how I feel when I read your stories. Aww. I'm going to try to start the new one soon. I need to write three more scenes, and then I'm at where I wanted to be. (And your pilotfics are still better. ) Wes is a good guy, but think about this when you read this post...what did Cracken do to get him to agree to the first mission.... But it's not necessarily blackmail. He just pulled on a few of Wedge's idealistic ideas...oh, who am I kidding, with Janson you know it had to have been something bad. Okay, time to read! Inyri had long learned to treat summons from Intelligence with suspicion and loathing This is not going to be good... Ooo, the description of Cracken's office is shiver worthy, and not in the good way. decides to send him a Kirkland's gift card you should probably save your belligerence for later in this conversation.” LOL! 2 pts, Airen Cracken. “In that during the time you, Major Forge, were separated from him, you slept with Major Klivian. Twice.” headdesk “Start talking before I have the sudden urge to smash your head through your desk.” huggles Hobbie That's kinda cute - in a violent way, of course. “And you, Major Klivian, still owe me a favor, if you remember correctly. Surely you didn’t think I was never going to call it in.” You know, I think he's being way more evil to Hobbie with this convo. Huggles Hobbie again cries remembering all the bad stuff that's happened to Hobbie Cracken resumed his seat behind his desk. “Entertainment value.” mouth drops open I think only Airen Cracken could actually get away with that! And it's such a great one-liner. laughs now shock has worn off So great! “That includes your husband, Commander Forge.” ouch. I like the double twist of that knife. Inyri fixed him with a stare. “I mean that we go tell my husband the truth.” Uh, Nawara? There's a Wes Janson on line two. snickers Carr, this is brilliant as always! I decided to pull out all the lines I loved along the way. I really like the interactions between the three characters in this. You've put so much personality into just a few lines. It's great. Dude, I'm now dying to know how Cracken found out. One of Inyri's former trainees, perhaps? Great update, and have fun at the Bahamas! ~Inyri -----signature----- Good things can come from Kessel.
