Title: Please Hide Your Yearbooks
Author: Darkwriter
Timeline: A few years after That Man, when Jag and Jaina’s children are infants.
Characters: Jaina Solo Fel, Jagged Fel, Jacen Solo, Anakin Solo, Leia Organa Solo, Han Solo, etc.
Genre: vignette, humor
Keywords: J/J, yearbooks, parents plotting.
Summary: Jaina writes a letter to her children, warning them about their futures. Her message: hide your yearbooks.
Notes: This is in the Alternatia Kismet Collection (list below), after That Man (at this present time. Whether or not I make a story that goes in between, I have no idea). Main Idea: Jag and Jaina take forever getting married; a few years after they do, they have twin children named Saul and Sada. You don’t need to have read That Man or any part of the Alternatia Kismet Collection to understand this. Basically, it’s a cute little vig about how parents like to look at yearbooks. However, this as a different feel compared to my previous work. I know the ending is a little jumbled, but it’s just a letter.
More Notes: I got this idea recently, when my mother kept sending me up to my room for my yearbook, so she could show everyone my brother’s first date to the Christmas dance.

My dear children:

It occurred to me, as I watched Saul tormenting the new girl at nursery today, that you will not be young forever. In fact, sooner or later, Saul, you are going stop picking on girls; and Sada, boys are going to stop making fun of you. Suddenly you’ll find yourself attracted to the opposite sex (yes, Mommy just said sex), and then you’ll eventually find yourself off on a date.

Yes, a date.

And you know your mother, my dear children. You know that I cannot possibly leave well enough alone. You know, Saul, that upon asking out this young lady who will hold your attraction, you will have measure up to your father’s honor and make him proud of you, but you will also have to beware your mother’s wrath. And Sada: while your father will always be more protective over you than I, you know that my tricks are much, much worse.

I am telling you this, because I knew that my parents also took special joy in tormenting my brothers’ prospective dates, but I became sick with my power—and their power. That, inevitably, was my downfall. And so I tell you: beware of the yearbooks.

I remember when Uncle Luke first implemented the yearbooks at the academy. It was Anakin’s first year. Anakin, Jacen, and I had always felt blessed knowing that our parents would never meet or see the kids we had crushes on, unless we wanted them to.

Of course, Uncle Luke had to go and change all this. Even today, I suspect my mother told him to.

So when Anakin was eleven, he foolishly told your grandparents about his crush on Tahiri Veila.

“Jaina,” my mother said, dropping the texts she had been studying. She had that look in her eye—the one that said she was s woman with a mission, and even Han Solo had better stay out of her way. “Go get your yearbook.”

I was only too happy to comply. After all, Anakin was my little brother; my main goal in life was to torture him. Giddy, Mom and I flipped through the pages and found Tahiri’s picture. Her hair was big and curly back then, let down all the way to the middle of her back.

“Oh,” Mom said. “She’s cute.”

Dad crept up behind us. “You like her, Anakin?”

Anakin turned red. “Just stop, okay?” he pleaded.

I grinned and shook my head. Why stop? It was so much fun. I told Dad Tahiri didn’t wear shoes.

“No shoes?” Mom said disapprovingly. “Why, that’s not very sanitary.”

A week later, Anakin was dismayed to find our mother on the phone with Uncle Luke, asking why certain Jedi students were not required to wear shoes, and how was she supposed to send her children to his school with the knowledge they were safe now? Uncle Luke said that foot fungus was probably the least of my mother’s worries, concerning her children.

My mother said that was just not the point.

Finally, Anakin had enough, and he gave us a new, juicy target.

“Why are you always picking on me?” Anakin asked us. “Jacen’s in love with Tenel Ka.”

“Hey!” Jacen, steadying his pet sewer rat on his head, glared at Anakin. “You promised you wouldn’t tell them.”

Anakin shrugged. “Better you than me.”

Anakin left, and we were all too delighted to refocus on Jacen. Of course, by this time, we were fourteen, and I had already realized my brother’s love for the warrior princess.

Because my parents had not yet met Tenel Ka, Dad said to me, “Jaina, get your yearbook.”

I did, and we all fawned over Tenel Ka’s picture.

“Why is she frowning?” Dad asked.

“It’s Tenel Ka, Dad,” I supplied. “She never smiles.”

“Are you kidding me? I really don’s see how Jacen—this is your twin brother, Jaina, the one who loves animals and tells bad jokes—could possibly fancy a girl who does not smile.”

Mom smiled knowingly. “He’s got it bad.”

Like Anakin in the years before, Jacen turned red, and he took his rat from the top of his head. “Mom, please.” He turned to our father. “And you said my jokes were good.”

“Son, you’re almost a man now, so I think it’s time I tell you the truth. And the truth is that I lie all the time.”

Fortunately, I had found a loophole at this time. The boy I had a crush on did not go the Academy. In fact, Zekk did not attend Uncle Luke’s Academy for nearly two more years. Besides the fact, my parents already knew Zekk and what he looked like, and instead of embarrassing me, they I would eventually grow out of my crush on the emotionally distraught young man. Much to my delight, they disapproved of him. This was good, because in disapproving of him, they assumed that ignoring him would make Zekk go away.

My children, you know that to this day, your Uncle Zekk is never very far away. However, Zekk and I only dated for a little while, and other men fell into my fancy. By the time I had met your father, I had thought I saved myself, seeing as there were no yearbooks in real life.

But I was wrong.

The kid must have had some long, un-dealt-with grudge for me, because your Uncle Jacen told my parents of the crush I had accumulated with Jagged Fel during the time I served with Rogue Squadron.

My mother was frazzled, and she even called Dad over the HoloNet. At that time, he wasn’t doing very well emotionally, and I winced when I heard him yelling.

Grinning, Jacen leaned back by me on the couch and said delightfully, “It’s your turn now.”

I just scowled at him.

“Jacen, is this Fel a pilot?” Mom asked.

Jacen said he was. Traitor.

“Yes, Han. He’s a pilot.”

My father was outraged. It was really quite a paradox. They obviously disapproved of Jag, but they needed to see him anyway. How could my loophole have failed?

“Jacen, your father says all pilots have profiles in Space Magazine. If Jag is a good enough pilot, he will have a picture.”

Well, I sure hoped so. I had my picture in Space Magazine. I didn’t know what I was going to do if Jag didn’t measure up to my obviously high standards. Really.

Anakin’s face lit up—which was unusual whenever we had Dad on the HoloNet at that time—and he ran back to his room.

“Here it is,” he declared, coming back. They were both traitors.

Mom read Jag’s stats to Dad. Dad got angry when he found that Jag’s scores surpassed mine. Well, I was a little angry, too. I had been working my butt off for those scores, and here comes Jagged Fel to blow them out of the water.

“But Han,” Mom said. “He’s very handsome. We would only be so lucky to have a strapping man like this one in the family.”

Well, you know what, Grandma? You got your wish. Because I MARRIED HIM! I think you’ll think twice before saying something like that again.

So kids, please, be discreet in your fancies. Because Sada, if one of your courtiers happens to be as hot as your father (and lets face it: that’s not easy), then you could end up like me. And Saul, do you want to be the one responsible for that? I don’t think so.

Please understand that I find nothing wrong or repulsive about your father. I love him dearly. It warms my heart to greet him as he comes home after a long day at the CorSec piloting academy and to see his happiness as he interacts with the both of you. And given the choice between him, Zekk, Kyp Durron, or Prince Isolder, I will gladly choose Jagged Fel any day.

But my point is that parents are ruthless, and your father and I spent too much of our time together in the presence of my parents. Do you think your grandfather dared to leave the two of us alone for more than five minutes? I think not. And being carefully watched by my parents while I’m trying to spend quality time with my boyfriend is not fun, especially when I’m pissed off from fighting the Yuuzahn Vong.

The thing is—I really don’t think I would have had that problem, had I had a little more foresight in my younger years. Even after Anakin died, Jacen still held his grudge, and you can be sure that he did not let my parents forget the very dawning fact that their only daughter might possibly, one day, become a Fel.

For the love of Yoda. A Fel.

Be devious, but do not plot against each other. Plot carefully against your parents, and calculate which is the best way to bring your significant other home. In conclusion, my dear children: please hide your yearbooks.

Loving you always,
your mother (Jaina Solo Fel)

"Nihilistic little bastard, isn't he?" Kyp Durron, speaking about Darth Caedus.
Anakin pointed his lightsaber towards Darth Caedus. "You."
Jacen smiled and bowed. "Me."
Anakin struck.
