	Chapter 8 Everyone was back in the living room for the announcement of the ‘final four’, as Nabrina’vida had dubbed the last placeholders in the countdown. Luke tried to ignore Hobbie’s elbows digging into his ribs as he tried to squeeze next to him on the couch. “There’s nowhere else to sit!” he said as a way of explanation as Mara flung him a deadly look. She was being squashed into the arm of the couch. “Well if you keep doing that, sitting in general is going to be a problem for you,” she growled. Luke patted her knee, but wasn’t sure if he intended it as a calming gesture, or encouragement to follow through on her threat. “Shhh!” called Lando from across the room, and all attention returned to the holoscreen. “And lucky number four is...” Nabrina’vida paused for dramatic effect. “...Wedge Antilles!” All eyes turned towards the Antilles pair, Wedge giving a self-satisfied smile while Iella began to shower him with pecking kisses. “Some might say he’s a surprise choice for number four, but there’s nothing surprising about this man’s talent or pilot’s good looks,” Nabrina’vida said as the screen cut to numerous holos of Wedge. “History may have doomed him to simply be Luke Skywalker’s wingman whose equipment failed at Yavin…” A holo of Luke and Wedge in their pilots uniforms appeared on the screen. Luke remembered it being taken in the haze of glory immediately following the first Death Star. Gods, had he ever been that young? “...but Wedge earned his own place in galactic history--and our countdown--with co-founding Rogue Squadron and dedication to the lucrative arts of piloting.” The hostess gave a saucy smile to the camera. “My sources say that ‘equipment failure’ is not one of the man’s problems at all,” she continued lewdly. “Too much information, boss,” Wes looked disgusted and set his drink down. Wedge, however, gave a ‘what can you do’ shrug and pulled an inscrutable Iella closer to him. Nabrina’vida continued to extol Wedge’s virtues, interviewing numerous zealous groupies and old flames, growing more excited and bouncy with each one. “Looks like someone’s going to need a cold shower after the show,” Leia muttered as the ladies in the room nodded in agreement. “I wonder if she’d be willing to share...” Wes’ eyes seemed to glaze over with the thought of it, until Han smacked him upside the head. “My children are asleep in the next room,” he said roughly, but with a smile on his face. “Please keep my home free of your impure thoughts.” “I have a contact at that station actually, Wes,” Lando piped up. “I might be able to get you an introduction.” “Really?” Wes seemed to salivate at the thought. “She does seem to like pilots,” Mirax added encouragingly. “Always the matchmaker,” Corran goaded her lightly. “Matchmaker, me?” Mirax answered in mock tone. “Not at all – I think offloading Wes onto her is more than enough retribution for her instigating tonight’s lewdness.” “Ever the prude,” Mara called out teasingly, which made the company laugh. If there was anything Mirax was not, it was a prude. “You know,” Wedge called out over the din, “I was very nice and patient listening to all of your placings, so if you don’t mind...” he gestured towards the screen, where Nabrina’vida was discussing, in detail, all of Wedge’s known battle scars. The Twi’lek sashayed in front of a life-sized holo of Wedge and ran one purple finger close to the open collar of the holo’s tunic. “If you look closely, you can see the jagged edge of one scar that peaks teasingly out at us from his muscular chest… one can only imagine the heroic battle he must have faced and the pain he must have endured to carry this battle-honed badge of honor…” Wes gave a loud snort, just as Iella said, “Wait a …” “What?” Wes asked. Iella was busy, unbuttoning the top of her husband’s tunic. “Uh--Apparently Iella doesn’t care that your children are in the next room, Solo,” Wes said, eyes widening. Iella flushed, but didn’t stop her task, even as Wedge backed up in his chair and swatted at her hand. “What are you--” “Here!” she said, exposing the same scar Nabrina’vida still waxed poetic over from the unit. “I knew it!” “Knew what?” Wedge muttered, grabbing his shirt and holding it closed. “That's not a battle scar. You got that when you were putting up Myri's crib…” Iella grabbed the shirt and exposed the faded scar again. Even Luke couldn’t seem hold back his laughter as Wedge flushed and pulled his shirt closed around his neck again. Wedge tried to save face by giving him a challenging look, but Luke met it with one of his own. “Hey, at least I didn’t tell anyone about that scar on your chin from falling in that cantina on Bryx…” Wedge made a mock threatening move, but was held down by Iella in his arms as the laughter grew even louder. From the holounit, Nabrina’vida had moved on from Wedge’s scars to another list of the ladies he was rumored to have dated. “But as we’ve already seen, only a true disciplinarian could capture the General’s heart…” Holos of Wedge and Iella together flashed. “After the parade of females after his heart, it’s little wonder his wife must keep a firm hand--in, and out--of the bedroom.” “What?” Iella squeaked. “Where have I gotten this reputation?” “From the rumors of his “battle scars”?” Wes guessed. “I don’t remember anyone else’s going for this long,” muttered Hobbie. But they sat in silence for the rest of the piece with only the occasional comment. Mara began to fidget beside him, and Luke took one of her hands in his own. “Patience is a virtue,” he reminded her sweetly, kissing her knuckles. “Really, do you think anyone would notice if we just slipped out?” Mara asked. “Yes,” Luke answered truthfully. “And besides - ” he stopped mid sentence as his attention was drawn away at the sound of Mara’s name. “That’s right, rapt viewers,” Nabrina’vida said playfully. “Number three on our list is none other than Mrs. Skywalker herself.” “That’s my official title is it?” Mara pursed her lips, displeased. Luke wasn’t sure whether it was being on the list, or being referred to like that. Probably both, he decided. Luke squeezed her hand and turned his attention back to the holoscreen. He didn’t want to miss a moment. Recent images of Luke and Mara flashed up on the screen, including extended footage of their wedding. “Mara has only recently come into the public eye as the wife of renowned Jedi Master Luke Skywalker,” Nabrina’vida said. “We know that she once worked for the Empire and has run a successful trading company with fellow list-ee Talon Karrde, however beyond that we know very little about this elusive woman. It seems that to our viewers, this mysteriousness only adds to her allure.” Three women appeared on the screen, all dressed in black catsuits and what appeared to be red wigs. Nabrina’vida sat across from them, herself donning her own black, skimpy outfit. Laughter bellowed throughout the room, and no one was louder than Han, who slapped his knee and had tears running down his face. He seemed unable to even form a suitable comment, in fact Leia had to slap him hard on the back when he seemed to have trouble breathing. A holo of Mara wearing the original black leather appeared behind the inteviewees. “My hair is not that colour,” Mara grumbled quietly. “And I seriously only wore that outfit once – and it was for a mission! One snap-happy reporters takes my holo and suddenly I’m some leather-obsessed woman on the prowl!” “Yeah, one of the young recruits has that holo as his screensaver,” Wedge added with a smile on his face. “Wes had that holo as his screensaver!” Hobbie laughed, and Wes threw a couch pillow at him in response. Mara and Luke both turned to Wes with identical expressions demanding an explanation. “Uh...that was before I met you, Mara!” Wes began, backing away from the pair. "And can you really blame me? And...and Luke had the holo too!” Luke shot Wes a dirty look before turning back to Mara, who arched an eyebrow at him. “It’s possible that I had a copy at one stage...” he said. “He had it stuck up in his cockpit!” Wes continued. “And everyone wondered why he clocked up so many flight hours…” Mara turned to Hobbie and Wedge for confirmation and they both nodded, Hobbie enthusiastically, and Wedge reluctantly. “Traitors,” Luke mumbled. Mara patted his knee, and Luke knew it was something she would be teasing him about for months. Luke cleared his throat and turned his attention back to the holoscreen. “So, ladies,” Nabrina’vida asked the trio on the screen, “What do you idolise about Mara Jade Skywalker?” “Well, for one thing,” one of them women answered, “she’s married to Luke Skywalker!” The other two nodded enthusiastically. “You see Luke,” Mara whispered quietly to him, “You didn’t have to wait so long for me, you could have just dated one of my groupies!” She chuckled quietly, obviously having moved on from annoyance to amusement. Luke squeezed her hand affectionately. “Pale imitations, my love,” he answered. “It was worth the wait.” “Hmmm,” Mara answered non-committedly, but Luke could tell she was pleased. “…she’s one of the most successful businesswomen in the galaxy!” one of the interviewees was saying. “All right, enough already,” Han complained. “Tell me, Mara, do you pay these people to extol your virtues?” “Perhaps they should bring back your Ewok fan to assuage your ego for a bit Solo,” Mara bit back laughingly. But it seemed Nabrina’vida had grown tired of listening to the women herself and cut them off mid-sentence. She was back to her usual position in front of the holoscreen. “For our top placeholders we have extensively researched their backgrounds and former partners for the inside scoop,” Nabrina’vida smiled cunningly at the camera. “And while our researchers found it difficult to find any romantic links in Mara’s past,” she continued, “I did manage to catch up with a man who is certainly no stranger to her.” The image cut to another pre-recorded interview, with Nabrina’vida seated next to an ostentatiously dressed, smiling Lando Calrissian. The entire gathering turned towards Lando in shock. Karrde for one was not at a loss for words. “You didn’t tell us you were actually involved in this...this...” “Tripe,” Shada finished for him. Lando shrugged. “They’re always interviewing me for these things – I never actually pay attention to what they are. I certainly didin’t know it was for a program like this. But it’s harmless.” “Any excuse to get your face on the holo,” Tendra teased, seemingly in better spirits. She kissed him on the cheek playfully. “That too,” Lando agreed. “I was going to ask just how good your contact at the station was,” Wes said, coming over to slap Lando on the shoulder. “But seeing as you actually know Nabrina’vida…” He wriggled his eyebrows lecherously. “All in good time, my friend,” Lando said, distracted by the sight of himself on the HoloNet. “Now, Lando,” Nabrina’vida purred and placed a familiar hand on his knee. The Lando in the living room winced slightly at this as Tendra lost her good humor quickly and her mouth pursed into a straight, tight line. “Tell us about Mara. There was a time when the two of you were very close, was there not?” “Well, yes,” Lando responded smoothly with his trademark winning smile. “But I have always been very close to Mara, that is, as close as she will let someone be!” He chuckled. “So she was the one in charge of the relationship?” Nabrina’vida questioned. “I wouldn’t put it quite like that,” Lando answered. “But I will say that Mara is no ordinary woman, and she certainly took some wooing.” “But you succeeded in the end?” Nabrina’vida pressed him. “There have been reports that the two of you only appeared to be romantically involved to further your joint business ventures?” “You see, my dear,” Lando threw her another winning smile, “we spent quite a bit of time together due to our various business dealings, as you said. But I am afraid that as a gentleman I cannot reveal anything further and have to leave it up to your viewer’s imaginations.” Tendra slapped her husband on the arm. “You might be forced to be a gentleman for quite some time,” she admonished. “What?” Lando held up his hands in protest. “That’s what the public likes – a bit of mystery! People will be talking about this for ages now!” “And that’s a good thing?” Mara asked. “I only just had people stop asking me about that.” She threw Luke a telling look. “No such thing as bad publicity,” Lando said knowingly. “So, say tomorrow’s headline is ‘Lando Calrissian’s mysterious disappearance, wife and Jedi implicated,” Tendra asked him. “Would that still be good?” “Absolutely!” Lando grinned. “Shhh!” Luke hushed them, cutting off any further explanation from Lando. “That’s my wife up there.” But the images of Mara from her time posing as Lando’s girlfriend were replace once more by Nabrina’vida’s interview with Lando. The Lando on the screen was squirming uncomfortably as the Twi’lek continued to grow more openly flirtatious with him. She trailed her lekku down his arm, and Tendra snorted at the sight. “Tell me,” Nabrina’vida said, “there’s something my public wants to know. Is Mara’s hair really that shade of red?” She continued to slide her lekku over Lando’s arms, as he tried to move back in his chair and out of her reach. “You know… There’s no hiding my true color…” Hoots of laughter rang out in the room, and Lando squirmed to have both Mara and Tendra glaring at him again. “Can’t wait to see you wriggle your way out of this, Old Buddy,” Han said, voice still hoarse from his earlier laughing and choking fit. There was silence for a moment before Wes spoke up, saving Lando from having to respond. “So… Is that her real hair color, boss?” he asked Luke. “Of course it’s her real hair color,” Luke answered, looking sideways at Mara to gauge her reaction to the question. But Mara was looking at Wes as he heaved a put-upon sigh and reached into his pocket, withdrawing a credchip and stretching out in his seat to hand it to Wedge. Nervous laughter and an uneasy silence followed the action, all eyes in the room turning to Mara in trepidation. Her eyes narrowed dangerously at Wedge and Wes. “Anything ELSE of mine you two think might not be genuine?” Han coughed to cover a laugh, and Wes opened his mouth as if to respond, but got a hard nudge in the ribs from Hobbie. Wedge looked away from his wife’s disapproving gaze, and held the credchip out in Mara’s direction. “Uh…peace offering?” he asked. Mara didn’t say a word, or accept the chip, and over their bond Luke could feel her satisfaction over making so many people squirm. “Uh…. Look at the holo,” Lando said finally, breaking the uneasy silence. Back on her stage, the Twi‘lek hostess still preened for the holocams. “As I said earlier,” she drawled, “Our researchers have had some trouble finding any further romantic entanglements of the elusive Mara Jade. But that hasn’t seemed to detract from her sexiness, if her position in our countdown is anything to go by. I’m told men can be quite attracted to the look-but-don’t-touch act. Not in my experience of course,” the Twi’lek sashayed her hips and gave a coy wink. “But anything is possible.” “So, Mara,” Wes taunted, apparently trying to see how far he could press, “no romantic entanglements, eh?” “Maybe they’re just all dead, Wes,” Mara shot back. “I’d take that as a warning,” Corran called out across the room. “Yeah, I’d look out if I were you,” Wes said to Luke. “Been there, done that.” Luke grinned at Mara. “Maybe I can just keep a secret,” Mara continued, speaking over her husband. “Unlike you spaceport-hopping miscreants.” “Now Mara,” Hobbie patted her arm. “Flattery will get you nowhere.” Luke tuned out the banter and turned his attention back to the holos of Mara that were flashing up on the screen. He would certainly have to find a way to congratulate his sexy wife privately when they finally got back to their apartment. So something good will come out of this, he heard Mara say over their bond. Hopefully I’ll be able to reciprocate. Luke couldn’t help but grin at the thought. “So that is the fascinating Mara Jade Skywalker,” Nabrina’vida was saying on the screen as Mara’s holo faded behind her. “We’ll be right back with our top two placeholders... Can you guess who they will be?”

	I'm new to this one, but it is probably the most hilarious thing I have read in a very long time. This is something I could read again later just to laugh out loud. Wes and Hobbie are always good, but the way you wrote them is priceless...tell me Wes end up with Nabrina’vida at the end of this, haha. I'm looking forward to more! -----signature----- "Life surprises you. Accept the gift." –Qui-Gon Jinn

	So happy to see. I myself would of put Mara in secong place. So far you are correct at my top 5 but if you second is who I think it is the placings between third and second would of been different. Loved that part about the hair color. Around the firehouse the guys have a certain term for a red head which I am not sure I can post. It is not bad but could upset someone. Then again I have read some stories or posts that are real intense. You made my night ladies and please do not wait so long for the next jewel in this crown.

	Yay!!!! Worth the wait, ladies. Well worth the wait! Favorite parts – “Yeah, one of the young recruits has that holo as his screensaver,” Wedge added with a smile on his face. “Wes had that holo as his screensaver!” Hobbie laughed, and Wes threw a couch pillow at him in response. Mara and Luke both turned to Wes with identical expressions demanding an explanation. umm… did Ghent have anything to do with this screensaver??? “Now, Lando,” Nabrina’vida purred and placed a familiar hand on his knee. The Lando in the living room winced slightly at this as Tendra lost her good humor quickly and her mouth pursed into a straight, tight line. *** The Lando on the screen was squirming uncomfortably as the Twi’lek continued to grow more openly flirtatious with him.

But Lando was loving it. Now, he’s second guessing. Maybe a moment of flirt isn’t going to be worth a week of hurt… But my favorite: “So, Mara,” Wes taunted, apparently trying to see how far he could press, “no romantic entanglements, eh?” “Maybe they’re just all dead, Wes,” Mara shot back. If that isn’t a clear “mind your own business,” I don’t know what is. A wonderful update! I am DYING to see the end of this. -----signature----- Never tell me the odds.

	Ooh, sweet. This one was great. I love that Mara made it to the top four. And Wedge and Wes betting on her hair color is so typically of the Rogues. I so cannot wait to find out who the top two are.
