all right, everyone, here is Squishy's great attempt at Jag's POV! I really went over the page limit...oops...but i couldn't help it! The scene i chose to base this on is Lady In Red , a definite favorite of mine! (and sorry if someone else had this scene in mine... )

***

I do not usually write my thoughts down for several reasons. One, I do not usually have time. Two, anyone can stumble upon them and easily discover my true impressions and opinions and feelings.

I should think that anyone who should stumble upon this would laugh their silly heads off and dissolve into hysterics for the remainder of the week.

That would be exactly how far I have fallen.

Matter of fact, if this situation was not mine, I too would laugh for a good long time. But it is not anyone else; it is me who has taken the first step down the slippery slope of … love? Lust? Desire? Whatever it is, it is that seductive temptress’s entire fault, and yet she does not even realize what she does to me, or the power she has over me. Believe it or not, and I still do not believe it myself, I have totally and completely fallen for Jaina Solo.

To think these words to myself is one thing, but to see them written down in front of me is still a shock. And yet, when I dare recall the events of the dinner last night, that angel in red annihilated my stoic control, much to my distress. I have found that I have no control over myself anymore, and just even thinking about that beautiful brunette, dressed in the most flattering gown to show off her perfect curves, and those corusca gem eyes sparkling with her rosebud mouth curved up in a smile – I wonder what it would be like to kiss that full mouth, and more importantly, what would Jaina do? I imagine she would slap me across the room and then proceed to pummel me to embarrassment with her Jedi powers. But all the pain in the galaxy would be worth one kiss from –focus, Jagged, focus! You see, it is hopeless. I am a hopeless man.

It does not help matters that she does not know what effects she has upon me. Or perhaps she does, and relishes the thought of toying with my emotions by feigning innocence. Jaina truly is the worst type of beautiful – apparently ignorant of her own alluring looks and femininity, but then again maybe she truly is aware and thinks it sport to turn me from a well-controlled officer to a stumbling, stuttering incoherent fool. The power she has over me goes so far as to allowing her to startle me and turn me into a clumsy fool, jolting my typically keen awareness. Now that was embarrassing. I am sure she deliberately snuck up on me, and then when I spun around, I managed to knock a plant off the balcony railing. Then, to prevent me from dirtying my hands, she showed off her adeptness in the Force by kneeling down to scoop the dirt up with telekinesis. I was going to go insane. Fortunately, some shred of control and dignity kept me from tackling her right then and there and kissing her with the passion she’d ignited in me.

To make matters worse, I stumbled over my words to look like the clumsy fool again – it seems my shred of control had only prevented my tackling her, and had not improved my speech capabilities at that time. As if things could not get any worse, my beautiful temptress was in the mood to talk that night, and I clearly was having difficulties in that department. All coherent thoughts had fled my brain when she’d knelt before me. Some etiquette my mother had taught me finally kicked in, however, and I offered her my arm to escort her back into the ballroom. By then, my initial shock and lack of control was slowly draining away and I found easier and smoother conversation with her. It was all light conversation, like about our not being full blooded Corellians, or my not wearing any medals to the function. My control was well oiled and slippery tonight, so to save myself from further embarrassment in the eyes of Jaina Solo I lapsed into silence. Small talk was not one of my fortes as it was though.

I was content to study her angelic features from across the table, her pretty features worn slightly by the horrors she’d seen thus far. It only added to her beauty in my eyes. She caught me watching her trying to loosen the tightly cinched ribbons on her slender waist, and I knew I was in trouble then.

“I’d be happier in a flight suit,” she’d told me.

“No doubt, but you look lovely all the same.” Pretty smooth. A little polite, an expected response.

She blushed, then though, a pale pink flush rising to her cheeks. My heart stopped. There is no way I can take this. Even her blushing drives my control beyond myself.

She turned away then to watch Tenel Ka and Prince Isolder dance, and I wanted to have her attention once again. It was only fair, I should have her attention the way she holds mine. I spoke impulsively, hoping to lure her to look at me again. My attempts were successful in that. Before I knew it, I had offered her my hand with the smoothest line yet this night, and she’d taken it. That had almost floored me. We then dodged through the swirling crowds and the way her body brushed against mine, my hand holding her tiny one, her expression of curiosity and mischief was enough to drive me mad. I called upon every shred of my Chiss dignity to keep myself from once again tackling her to the floor and ripping that red dress from her perfect body, her skin flawlessly creamy and – ktah, keep that up Jagged and you shall have to go take another very cold shower before patrol tonight!

I like to entertain thoughts of what we might of done then, had Ta’a Chume not interrupted. Where would we have gone? Would I have kissed her – no doubt I would have proceeded to humiliate myself further in her eyes. Losing her regard completely, although it seems low as it is, is something I cannot do.

I do not know how I shall deal with this smoldering temptress, but I do know that my stay here at the Hapes Cluster is about to become even more long and torturous.

j_g: A Lady one! Goody!

First - Believe it or not, and I still do not believe it myself, I have totally and completely fallen for Jaina Solo. So Jag grin

Second - what would Jaina do - perfect

There was a lot of other great parts, but I really just liked how you expressed his utter frustration with his lack of control. Great job, my friend. I need to get to work on mine...

Squishy, I loved it. love And one from my favorite viggie, "Lady". grin

Poor Jagged, I felt for his tortured soul. The way he replayed the scenes over in his mind, and how he was berrating himself for his lack of control was so sweet and funny, but so perfectly Jag. ktah laugh I can see him reverting into Chiss in his frustration, poor boy.

That was so well done! grin Loved reliving all the mush-potential through Jag's eyes.

I have found that I have no control over myself anymore, and just even thinking about that beautiful brunette, dressed in the most flattering gown to show off her perfect curves, and those corusca gem eyes sparkling with her rosebud mouth curved up in a smile – I wonder what it would be like to kiss that full mouth, and more importantly, what would Jaina do? I imagine she would slap me across the room and then proceed to pummel me to embarrassment with her Jedi powers. But all the pain in the galaxy would be worth one kiss from –focus, Jagged, focus! You see, it is hopeless. I am a hopeless man.

Heehee, what would jaina do indeed. We all know what Jag wanted to do. laugh

Kudos, Squishy.

Here's my contribution! It's a bit long, and it's from Crash Landing.

*~*~*
I have committed an unusually stupid act, for me at least, this afternoon, and nearly committed at least two others. This is disturbing, since I do not have the luxury of doing many stupid things. I am a pilot representing the Chiss, and thus have the duty to act as they do- without emotion clouding their thoughts.

The woman is infuriating, yet intriguing. I find myself wanting to know more about her, but I am not quite sure how to go about doing so. Courtship rituals are not something typically taught in Chiss flight academies.

I’m not making any sense, am I? You are probably wondering what woman am I talking about? What disease has taken over my brain that I am acting so different from what is normal for me? Of course, I normally don’t ask questions such as these of myself.

The woman is Jaina Solo. She is a Jedi Knight, and a former pilot in the Rogue Squadron. We met a couple of years ago, when she was but sixteen, in Ithor, when the Spike Squadron came to her rescue. I wasn’t overtaken with paralysis, and stupidity wasn’t the word to cover my actions and thoughts then, so why is now so different?

Lieutenant Solo- yes, I must remember to refer to her as Lieutenant Solo; perhaps that way I can remain objective- came out of hyperspace in a stolen Yuuzhan Vong frigate. Because the Hapan military was unsure of whether it was a trap, I was sent along with Kyp Durron and the second scout who came with me to the New Republic- Lieutenant Shawnkyr Nuroudo.

It came as a shock to me when Jain- Lieutenant Solo made her disgust of Jedi Kyp Durron clear. I was not aware that there was such friction among the Jedi. I must assume that I had always thought of the Jedi as being above such human conflict. Finding out otherwise was fascinating, and prompts other thoughts on how to see just how human they are.

I feel sorry for Jaina, considering the fact that she has lost both of her brothers, and many of her friends, on the latest mission. I still haven’t found out many of the details of the mission, but I do know that it was Jedi mission, and that about half of the participants died.

When the coral frigate, which had still been attached to the pirate ship, entered the atmosphere of Hapes, problems arose. Fear solidified my gut as I watched the two attached ships appear to tumble uncontrollably. Luckily, the pilot of the frigate managed to take back control of the ship after the pirate’s ship broke free.

One of my moments of stupidity occurred when I accidentally flipped the weapons system safety on. If the torpedoes or the lasers had gone off, I could have ended up killing several important government officials, which would have caused a serious diplomatic incident.

In addition, I agreed to assist the Hapans in any way possible on their scouting patrols. After that, Lieutenant Nuroudo disagreed with me, and we got into an interesting argument. I wonder what Davin would have done.

Jain- Lieutenant Solo- intrigues me like no other woman I have ever known. Her need to deal with the pain of her losses is evident, but still she refuses the comfort of her family’s arms. She holds her parents at an arm length, refusing…something.

She refused Kyp’s offer of comfort as well, pushing away. When he refused to let her go, I nearly interfered, which probably would have cost me a limb or two. She spent all of thirty seconds in my arms as a result of a stumble, and I found myself overwhelmed at the strength of the feelings that resulted. I discovered a driving need to protect, and comfort, the tiny woman in my arms. When our eyes connected, something else connected as well. I know not what it was, but I have the feeling that it will be important sometime in the future.
*~*~*

So...It's a bit weird, I know...but what do you think?

Cad That was cool . I love 'd how Jag kept trying to refer to Jaina by her rank instead of her given name.

When our eyes connected, something else connected as well. I know not what it was, but I have the feeling that it will be important sometime in the future.
Oh, yeah. It will Jag, it will. tongue
