A special thank you to Jade_Pilot not only for betaing, but for always being so supportive!  Hope you all enjoy!
Chapter 9
“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?”
As the holovid blared a commercial for Nabrina’vida’s newest bodice-ripper and action/adventure holoflick, Wes snorted. “I can place even creds on who the top two will be in this list,” he said, pointing. “Those two.”
“Well, I’ve already been on the list,” Lando protested, passing by as Wes gestured towards the edge of the couch where Luke and Mara sat, and Leia perched on the arm, Han standing next to her. “But perhaps there was a recount…”
“You’ve already placed quite a few of your hard earned creds on who you felt would be number one, Janson,” Karrde said with a small smile. “But would you care to wager again?”
“Not you, mynock,” Wes said to Lando. “I’m not even sure how you made it to forty-five or whatever your number was. And, no, Karrde, I don’t need to place another wager. I believe I had it right the first time. Anyway, I was talking about those two… you know…” he lowered his voice dramatically and gestured again. “Luke and Leia Skywalker. The galaxy didn’t exist before them, did it?”
“A little jealous?” Hobbie asked.
Wes shook his head, grinning. “Just stating the facts… Well, that and the fact that of everyone in this room--well, besides you, Hobbie, and Tendra--though I’m sure that’s just an oversight--we’ve all been on the list. Number two and one have to be Leia and Luke. Though, of course, I think the lovely Mrs. Solo should have the top spot.”
“You do, do you?” Leia asked, leaning out to look past Mara at Wes.
“Well, don’t you?” Wes asked, turning the tables on the former princess.
Leia looked sideways at her twin. “Uh…”
Luke smiled. “Don’t worry, Leia. I’m not going to be on this list, but even if I were, I think you should be number one, too.”
Mara turned towards her husband and echoed Leia. “You do, do you?”
“Uh…” Now Luke echoed his twin. “That’s not how I meant--”
Han laughed. “Don’t even try, buddy. You’ll just make it worse.”
“Who do you think will be number one, my sweet?” Lando asked Tendra, who was curled into a ball in her chair, a new bottle of ale held loosely in her grip.
Tendra’s eyes flashed up to his. “Why would I know?” she asked. “Who said anything about me knowing who would be number one on this stupid list?”
The room quieted with Tendra’s outburst, and Lando looked around uneasily. “I was just….”
Tendra stopped him. “I’m sorry, I think maybe…” she gestured to the ale. “I’m going to excuse myself to the ‘fresher for a moment.”
As she ran from the room, Lando made to follow. Now it was Han’s turn to echo. “Don’t even try, buddy. You’ll just make it worse.”
“You think?” Lando asked, stopping in the doorway his eyes drifting towards the hall where Tendra had fled.
“Just give her a moment,” Mirax began sympathetically.
“Women,” Wes interrupted, “fight dirty. You‘ll lose every time, Calrissian.”
Five sets of feminine eyes settled on Wes, who noted that once again, he was in peril with the women of the party. “Uh… let’s save some time here,” he said. “Just how exactly did I wiggle out of trouble the last time?”
The same five sets of eyes rolled in unison. “Actually,” Mara said, “we were just going to agree with you, Janson.” Leaning over Luke, she punched him hard in the shoulder.
Iella and Mirax laughed at the look on Wes’s face, while Shada turned to hide her smile so that only Karrde could see it.
“Ladies,” Wes pleaded, “please…”
“Hey, look,” Hobbie cut in. “The countdown’s back!”
“Saved,” Wes muttered under his breath.
On the holo, Nabrina’vida grinned widely at her audience. “Welcome back to the 101 Sexiest Citizens of the New Republic! We’re down to our final two places in our countdown, and only the sexiest of the sexiest will make these top spots.” She paused dramatically, before sashaying across the stage to stand before a large holoframe. “In our number two spot, we find the complete package… a galactic leader and Master Jedi, a fearless politician and a superb pilot…”
“Hey,” Hobbie said, looking towards Luke and Leia, his forehead scrunched together. “That sounds like…. Both of you…”
“That’s right,” the hostess said breathlessly from the screen, as if in answer to Hobbie’s statement. “Coming in at number two on our list of the galaxy’s sexiest--you apparently couldn’t vote for one without the other—we have your hero and mine—Luke Skywalker and his twin sister, Leia Organa Solo!”
The holoframe lit up to show a picture of a younger Leia and Luke, clutching hands and smiling at the holocams at a state dinner.
“I’ll be Kessled,” Han said.
“Well, the ‘Dira twins did place at number five...” Karrde mused. “Shada, where does this leave our wagers?”
“But… but…” Leia sat starring at the holovid. “The ‘Dira twins are like one person. Luke and I don’t even look alike!”
Mara looked at Luke’s face, red from embarrassment on one side of her, and Leia’s face, red from indignation, on the other side. “I’d say you look a lot alike at the moment,” she said helpfully. She leaned over and tried to kiss Luke’s open mouth. “I told you that you’d be on the list,” she whispered, her Force sense bleeding out her glee at the revelation of him as number two on the galactic list.
Luke buried his face in her neck. “I don’t want to watch.”
“If we’re number two, who’s number one?” Leia demanded, looking up at Han.
But Han was focused on the holovid. “I remember that outfit fondly,” he said with a rakishly upraised brow, looking at a holo of Leia at yet another state dinner, her red dress cinched in tightly around her waist and her hair loosely gathered in the back. “Do you still have that dress?”
Leia cheeks reddened. “I—“
Nabrina’vida appeared next to the holo of Leia. “She is quite attractive,” the Twi’lek admitted grudgingly. “But though it is not known which of the Skywalker twins is indeed the oldest, I think it’s quite easy to tell if you look at the two of them…” Another holo flashed from the same night, Leia in her red dress being hugged by Luke, his blond hair gleaming and a bright grin on his face. The holo appeared to have been taken later in the evening, and Leia’s eyes were half closed from the same holocam light that lit Luke’s hair. “Obviously Luke is the younger twin, and probably by quite a few minutes…” Nabrina’vida smirked.
“What!” Leia gasped, jumping up from the arm of the chair. “Did she just insinuate… Luke and I are the EXACT same age!”
Luke pulled his neck from Mara’s shoulder, and smiled a bit devilishly at his sibling. “What was that, dear sister? I thought you always claimed to be the older one….”
“Oh, go back to hiding behind your wife,” Leia snapped.
“I do not hide behind Mara,” Luke protested, sitting up straighter.
Leia turned to him with narrowed eyes.
“Hey,” he cautioned, “calm down. People your age shouldn‘t get too riled…”
An outraged gasp came from Leia, who lunged towards her brother. Luke pushed back against Mara who pushed him back towards his sister. “You’re the one living dangerously, Farmboy,” she muttered.
“Karrde, are you taking wagers on who’ll win in this fight?” Wes asked, as Leia’s fist connected with Luke’s arm.
“I only deal in wagers I feel are sound, and I would never wager against our former Chief-of-State,” Karrde answered.
“Thank you, Talon,” Leia said, digging her fist into Luke’s shoulder once more. “I appreciate that.” She climbed off the sofa and stood next to Han.
“Want to hide behind me now?” Mara asked, as Luke massaged his bruised arm.
“No, I just think Leia shouldn’t pick on her little brother,” he said, mock-pouting.
Leia rolled her eyes. “Gods, he’ll….”
“Okay, children,” Han interrupted. “Let’s watch the HoloNet….”
“…though they are twins they look nothing alike,” Nabrina’vida was saying, comparing pictures of Luke and Leia. “In fact, the only similarity appears to be that both are rather short…”
“Hey!” Luke and Leia responded together.
“…and that both married partners who could be describe as, well, complete scoundrels…”
“Hey!” Han said, and sidled a look to Mara when she didn’t respond. He raised a brow. “Jade?”
“Well, in this case I’d have to say our flouncy hostess is correct,” she said with a smirk. “And if you and I didn’t come along, Han, can you imagine these two?” She jerked a thumb at the twins. “Over-eager, law-abiding… they’d never have any fun…”
“I don’t know, Mara,” Wedge piped up, from the back, gesturing towards the screen as Mara turned to look at him. “Like I’ve said before—it looks like Luke did have some fun before he met you…”
And on the screen Nabrina’vida was now slowly going through holo after holo of Luke and women from his past.
“So I see,” Mara said in a dangerously low voice.
“…the Master likes Twi’leks who come in lovely colors, though I have to say that I’ve never seen him with a purple lady,” Nabrina’vida said, saucy smile firmly in place. “So I’d like to send out a message to Master Skywalker now…. If… or should I say when things go to Kessel with your marriage… comm me…”
“Turn this drivel off,” Mara demanded. “Now.” She reached for the remote device, but Wes beat her to it and threw it to Lando, who sat on it. “Great, the one place you knew I wouldn’t go…” she said, giving Wes a dirty look.
“Come on, Mara… we’ve sat through it this long… what’s a few more minutes?”
“Torture,” Mara muttered, as even more of Luke's ex-flames flashed across the screen. This time, however, it was a montage of past and present interviews with women discussing Luke.
"He was so innocent," a former member of the Rebel Alliance recalled fondly.
"Wahay!" Hobbie clapped Luke on the back. "Forgot about her."
"But he was certainly more than enthusiastic," she continued, as Luke buried his face in his hands.
"He loved to take me flying," another woman said, and it continued on like that for what seemed like an eternity.
Mara fidgeted uncomfortably. "How many of them are there?" she muttered.
"Not jealous, are you Mara?" Han asked innocently.
Mara snorted, but did not reply.
Luke patted her knee. "It's not a competition," he told her softly.
"I know that," she said, and tossed her hair. "I just find all this tripe so boring." She suddenly seemed much more interested, however, when Gaeriel Captison appeared on the screen, looking very uncomfortable.
"I would rather you not ask me questions like that," Gaeriel said, but then looked rather thoughtful. "Luke was... honorable."
The image faded, and the room went silent.
"That's in such poor taste." Leia patted him reassuringly on the shoulder. "I'll write to the station..."
"No, it's fine," Luke gave her a weak smile. "Oh, look, there's some more embarrassing holos," he muttered as the hostess began a running list of his attributes set to a holo montage of him wearing very little.
Luke’s face turned an even brighter red as one shot of him lying in his bed with only a sheet covering him flashed on the screen. The image of Gaerial was immediately forgotten as several of the ladies in the room were giving him admiring glances, but Leia snorted as Nabrina’vida began pointing out particular points of interest in the holo. “How did they even get that holo?”
“Uh… I think that’s when I realized I needed to get reflective transparisteel,” Luke said in a thin voice.
“A lesson we all have to learn the hard way,” Wes remarked.
“Indeed.” Mara said, with a roll of her eyes, but she took Luke’s hand in hers and squeezed it. *Let the galaxy look… but only I can touch…* she sent over their bond.
He silently thanked her for trying to take his mind off the embarrassing sight of his naked chest on the holo and squeezed her hand back tightly. *Can we get out of here yet? There are things I'd much rather be doing...*
Leia’s voice cut into their conversation. “All of this is about Luke,” she complained.
“Well, sweetheart, no one had a holocam when you were in your steel bikini from Jabba’s Palace,” Han soothed her.
She opened her mouth to respond, when her holo flashed again. “Finally,” she mumbled, instead.
“…the flashier twin, Leia has worn many different hairstyles and political costumes during her life in the public eye. She has worn buns, braids, and twists to create intricate hairstyles copied galaxy-wide. Who can forget the image of a young Senator Organa from Alderaan, her coiled buns sitting astride her head almost as a battle helmet?” Nabrina’vida asked, two wrapped buns of fake hair sitting firmly over her twitching lekku.
“That was the style!” Leia protested, and shot a menacing glare at Wes who dared to laugh.
“Hey, I liked your buns,” Han said, pulling his princess close. “They sure caught my eye,” he said, swatting her on the backside gently.
“Smooth, Solo,” Wes complimented.
Han gave his trademark cocky grin, leaning in to kiss his wife.
“I’m not surprised Leia is on this list… she is a very beautiful woman,” a male voice spoke from the HoloNet, and Han stiffened. “Not him again… Please tell me that’s not who I think it is…” he groaned, leaning his head against Leia’s for support.
“Afraid I can’t do that, buddy,” Lando said, from his new spot standing in the doorway.
On the screen, Nabrina’vida was busily interviewing Prince Isolder of Hapes, who apparently had no problem discussing his former love interest’s attributes.
“Is it true,” the Twi’lek hostess began, leaning in close, her ample cleavage once more on display, “that Leia went unwillingly to the alter with Han because you chose another woman over her?”
“Unwilling!” Leia squeaked, her eyes wide.
“Well,” the prince said, rubbing his chin, “Leia was to be my wife, but was kidnapped by that ruffian… I mean, by her now-husband, Han Solo. Obviously things worked out in the end, but… I’ve always felt that Leia and I could have been a very happy and successful couple.”
“I’ll just bet you do,” Han snarled.
“Han,” Leia soothed, grasping his hand.
“It’s bad enough he beat me in the countdown, but this!”
"Leia has style and grace - that was what first impressed me about her," Isolder continued. "But she is also a cunning and ambitious warrior, while maintaining that beauty. She is tenacious, and certainly the most dazzling woman I have ever known...er..." Isolder seemed to notice something off-screen. "Except, of course, for my lovely wife Tenieniel, who is, obviously, the queen of my heart." He smiled broadly.
"I think there will be trouble on Hapes tonight," Luke observed, remembering all too well Tenieniel's temper.
"Hmph," Han seemed somewhat pleased. "Happy and successful couple there, all right."
“Well, I’ve never been sorry with the way things worked out,” Leia said, pulling him down for a soft, mollifying kiss.
“Not sure the rest of us can say the same, Solo,” Mara said slyly.
“Oh, just you wait, Sweetheart,” Han said, looking from the HoloNet to Mara and nodding her in its direction.
She scrunched her forehead, but looked at the screen, eyes narrowing as Nabrina’vida sat down in another interview.
“This had better not be one of your Twi’lek honeybombs,” Mara said darkly to Luke.
“Honeybombs?” Luke repeated. “Mara, I--”
“Remember, Kid,” Han broke in.
Before Luke could answer or even nod, Nabrina’vida’s newest guest was revealed.
“Oh,” Mara said, sounding somewhat relieved. “It’s only Tionne.”
“So,” Nabrina’vida said to her newest guest, “tell us who you are and how well you know the delectable Master Skywalker.”
“I really don’t like the way she says ‘Master’,” Luke said.
“Trust me, we don’t either, Boss,” Wedge replied.
“…Jedi Historian,” Tionne was saying from the HoloNet. “I’m also the Master’s archivist and I help to keep his schedule in order.”
Nabrina’vida chuckled. “Somewhat of a naughty secretary are we?”
Tionne blushed as she giggled. “Well, we’ve never been… that… close…”
“Tionne never giggles,” Mara all but growled.
“But you’d like to be?” Nabrina’vida pressed the issue.
“Um… You know, I have a ballad about Master Skywalker I could sing for you…” the Jedi historian tried to change the subject nervously, twisting a pale lock of hair around her long finger.
Mara didn’t comment but a tick seemed to have developed under her eye. Luke’s face was again burning red. “I have a meeting with Tionne in two days,” he moaned. “How am I going to…”
“Apparently she’d like you to… eh… reprimand her…” Corran said. “Never knew she had it in her,” he whispered to Mirax.
But the interview wasn‘t over yet. “Avoiding the question, I see…” the hostess winked sassily at her interviewee. “Okay, well… what can you tell us about the Master and his schedule, then?”
Tionne brightened and sat up in her seat. “Let’s see… The Master awakens at 0500 and goes for his daily run, followed by calisthenics in the exercise yard before breakfast.”
Nabrina’vida nodded knowingly. “Has to keep in top shape for the ladies…or invading Dark Jedi,” she simpered. Several holos flashed of Luke, bare-chested and gleaming with sweat as he exercised.
“Oh, for the love of…” Mara finally regained her voice. “Where did they get these holos?”
“Uh… I think that’s when I realized I had to use a private gym,” Luke answered sheepishly.
Mara and Leia rolled their eyes.
“…schedule differ now that he has a wife?” The interview was still being conducted on the holoscreen.
“Oh,” Tionne said, “Mara. Yes, well, when she’s on planet, she has given strict orders that the Master should not leave his quarters before 0700...”
Catcalls and sniggers rang out in the room, even as Nabrina’vida giggled merrily on the HoloNet. “I’ll just bet she did…”
Now it was Mara’s turn to groan, her cheeks pink. “Let me know when it’s over,” she muttered.
“’Fraid it’s only gotten worse, Red,” Han said.
Mara looked up to find several shots of her and Luke locked in passionate embraces. “How do they get these holos?” she asked, over the din of catcalls in the room. “That was our honeymoon!”
“Paparazzi-Bots,” Leia said faintly, as several holos of herself and Han were shown interspersed with the shots of Luke and Mara. “Chewie’s… well, let’s just say he’s captured and rewired a bot or two.”
Chewbacca roared in agreement, crossing his arms behind his head from where he sat on the other side of the room. [Damn nuisances.]
“Thankfully our part seems to be winding down,” Leia said, plunking herself back down next to Luke on the arm of the sofa. “But it was all about you. And no one mentioned any of your less than stellar qualities…”
“Leia…” Luke said, voice just short of a whine.
“That’s one of them,” she said, punching him again in the arm.
He gave a dramatic sigh. “I guess it’s just because I’m younger than you…”
But before Leia could comment, Tendra came rushing into the room, loudly calling Lando’s name.
“Tendra? My Sweet?” he asked, as all eyes in the room turned to the couple.
Tendra was taking deep breaths, as she stopped in front of her husband. “I have something to tell you,” she said, taking a long draw from the bottle in her hand as if gaining liquid courage before imparting a secret.
“What is it?” Lando asked, dark eyes filled with concern. “Do you want to talk out in the hall?”
“No!” she cried, spreading her arms wide. “They might as well all know… I love you, Lando!”
“Not quite a revelation,” Wes observed.
Tendra continued on as if she hadn’t heard. “I love you, Lando, but I voted on this stupid, childish countdown…. And I voted for… I voted for Luke!” Secret out, she broke into messy, loud sobs.
The silence of the room was broken only by Nabrina’vida from the HoloNet. “That was the sinfully sexy Luke Skywalker and his sister, Leia Organa Solo. Who could have possibly beaten them out as the sexiest in the galaxy? Your number one pick will be revealed next!”

Hehehe I was very happy to see the update when I logged on. Great interaction and very diplomatic having the twins together although we all know who is number 1.
“Uh… I think that’s when I realized I needed to get reflective transparisteel,” Luke said in a thin voice.
“A lesson we all have to learn the hard way,” Wes remarked.
That's a lesson that I learned in college... 
“Uh… I think that’s when I realized I had to use a private gym,” Luke answered sheepishly.
Mara and Leia rolled their eyes.
LOL. Loved the chapter, thanks for sharing!

Ooooh, I'm so glad to see this back!
So, L & L tied, eh? I'm sitting here trying to remember who hasn't been on the list yet for the number one spot. I think all my guesses have already been listed. 
Argh! *pulling hair out*
More? Soon? Please?

They call me NANA Vader.
At least she doesn't lack confidence...

What happens when everyone you love leaves?
Do you waste your time grieving?
Do you love others?
Even when the don't love you?
What happens?
