I wonder how the Vong being in the system will change things...

Looking foward to the next update.


It'll definetly tie into the miniclip quite nicely and will mean a loooot of explanations from the Solo twins to the wizards laugh

I'm honoured.


Hope you don't mind me using the Burrow as a setting like you did in your fic. Makes the most sense for the Solos to get to at the present

Hmm... Mars, I'm guessing. And no, anything in the Earth's solar system never seems to be on any of the charts!


Hahaha. Where would be the fun??? laugh Han: "Jaina just said she was in the Gaia system!!!"

(Two hours later) "Thanks for the hospitality Mr Weasel"

"It's Weasley!

"Whatever. Good luck with the Vuldeemort thing!!!"

My mind's trying to place the situation. So Arthur and Dumbledore are there... and Death Eaters are attacking... alternate version of the Death Eater attack on Hogwarts at the end of HBP?


Yeah the Order is on one side of the loch and the Death Eaters were on the other. When the Solos swam to Dumbledore they decided to attack the Order's side. It's more of a parallel to the attack of Hogwarts as who knows? I may still include the attack on Hogwarts or somethign like it mischief

Nice update


Thanks! Hope you enjoyed and I'm really looking forward now that you're continuing your HP fic. Soon we'll have two hopefully regularly updating ones here

Sounds good to me keep me updated please(pm)

I wonder though I they come to get here after all... and I always like having britain scenerie in a fanfic



Added! I assume you're talking about Vergere and the Vong. You'll see devil I've unfortunately never been to Britain but it'll mainly involve HP places, I think. (Kind of like saying, I'm not a brain surgeon but I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night! wink )

Come on you have to say more than that tongue Glad you liked it!!!

Boy I really need to think of another synonym for glad, I've used it the last three replies doh! Anyway I'll be typing up a lot of the next chapter tonight and probably posting it tomorrow on Thurs, but if everything goes well I can finish all of it tonight (This is on Eastern Standard Time for New York for all those from different time zones)

Next time: The Solos visit the Burrow and meet all of its quirky denizens! We'll find out the outcome of the Battle of Loch Ness and the Jedi have realized that something bad has happened to their favorite twin Jedi apprentices!

Chapter II: In Which the Solo Twins Reach a Grim Conclusion



The "house", if Jaina could call it that, was a mishmash of uneven floors, random windows, and crooked doors. To top it off, the building was leaning so heavily to the right it seemed any moment a gust of wind could knock it over.

The twins stared. It was a far cry from their luxurious Coruscant apartment.

"Welcome to my home!" exclaimed the red headed man in slightly accented Basic.

Jaina felt a slight flush of embarrassment climb up her cheeks. "It looks lovely."

"Yeah…” Jacen’s voice trailed off.

“Shall we go inside then?”

“Lead the way,” answered Jaina hesitantly.

The man walked on ahead, looking pensive and checking the sky around him as if he was checking if the old man and others had come. The twins hung back a little.

“Jaina, I really don’t know what’s going on,” whispered Jacen hurriedly.

“We’re just going to have to trust them. We have to act calm until we can get a transport off of this rock.”

“What about the Yuuzhan Vong?”

Jaina sighed, “Remember, they don’t even have a planetary shield. I wouldn’t think they would last long, but we will have to tell them anyway.”

“There are too many suspicious things here Jaya.” Jacen said, kicking a stone

“I know, why were they right there when we crashed? It could not have been a coincidence”

“Well, they are Force-sensitive.”

“Funnily enough, I’d noticed,” retorted Jaina snarkily “especially the old one. He had enough power to pass for a Jedi Master.”

“Maybe they foresaw it, they could have had a vision,” offered Jacen.

Jaina pondered, “If so,” she said slowly, “then they could have contacted us. If they have the power to see the future, I do not see why they could not have informed us through the Force.”

Jacen whipped his head around quickly “Maybe they couldn’t…” he answered enigmatically.

Jaina picked up on Jacen’s tone immediately “Ah…. you mean they don’t know how to use the Force.”

“That’s what I’m thinking,” answered Jacen confidently, “at least I don’t think they have been fully trained like we have.”

A voice came back on the wind. The red-haired man was calling back over the wind.

“Hurry up kids, my wife is making pancakes and sausage!”

Pancakes….and sausage? What the kriff were those?






Ohhh… dustcrepes and nausage. Uncle Luke’s favorite. They must have different names for them.

Jaina and Jacen sat and munched contentedly on the delicious food. They were seated on the left side of a large table. The red haired man, who introduced himself as Arthur Weasley, sat at the head of the table.

The kitchen was filled with an intoxicating aroma. Despite all the banquets the twins had attended, nothing had ever smelled was wonderful as this.

The cook, a good natured plump middle aged woman by the name of Molly Weasley, had been very kind towards them. However it was getting to be a little too much for Jacen.

She had fussed over their flight suits, first remarking on the odd shape of the clothes and then insisting that she lend them her children’s robes. They had agreed to change, but only after they had finally eaten. She had insisted on fattening up because in her words they “looked like they had lost a lot of weight”. Jacen was slightly irritated by the woman when all he wanted to do was think over their situation. However Jaina secretly liked the woman’s concern. Even if it was a little stifling, Molly was motherly in all the ways that their own mother had tried but never quite been.

She opened her senses and took the house in. It was very messy and full of everything imaginable. Bottles of different colored liquids were strewn throughout the kitchen. A small metal box by the window played a warbily song. The Weasley’s presences shone in the Force. Jaina idly wondered whether they were aware of their gift. They seemed very determined and responsible, but not without a little streak of mischievousness and curiosity running underneath.

Upstairs, Jaina had felt the presences of four people contentedly sleeping. Molly had told them of the number of children she and Arthur had. Seven!!! She could imagine how the Weasley parents had managed to stay sane, althought it did explain the robustness she had sensed from them.

Although Molly was making more “pancakes” and Arthur attempting to read a newspaper(again Jaina was amazed. Actual paper!) both of their eyes were fixed on a particular looking chrono on a wall.

The chrono was emblazoned with the names of the Weasley children and two people named Harry and Hermione. Each of names had their own arrow, but instead of pointing to a time, it was pointed towards a variety of words. A few were pointed at home and some were pointed at work but one, with the name of Bill carved on it, was pointed at “mortal peril.” It was at this hand that the Weasley parents were staring at, willing it to move to home.

Jaina guessed that Bill was one of the group currently fighting these “Death Eaters” and who had apparently saved her and Jacen.

Arthur broke out of his reverie and looked at the two.

“So Jaina, tell me about those wonderful machines you and Jacen were in. I’ve never seen anything quite like them.”

Behind Arthur, Molly rolled her eyes.

Jaina explained, “Oh, they are XJ3’s, newest model of X-wings but they are not that much different from the old T-65s.”

Arthur was looking as if she had just spoken ancient Sith to him.

“X-wings?”

The twins exchanged a look. They hadn’t heard of X-wings? Did they still think the Empire was around?

Suddenly feeling as if her entire life now meant nothing, Jaina blundered on.

“You know, X-wings, the fighter craft that fought the Empire and destroyed the Death Star?” Upon catching Mr. Weasley’s look she quickly inquired, “You do know about the Empire…right Arthur?”

He shook his head in confusion

Jaina decided to reach back. “Surely you’ve heard about the Clone Wars?”

Arthur smiled

“Unless You-Know-Who was using copies of himself, I don’t believe so”

“I don’t know who!!!” Jaina was sounding panicky now.

Now it was Mr. Weasley’s turn to look surprised. “You haven’t heard of You-Know-Who?”

“How am I supposed to know of this person if you won’t give me his name???” answered Jaina in a voice so loud that she and Jacen could hear movement from upstairs. She had managed to wake up the entire household.

Molly cut in “Oh so you are Muggles?”

Jacen looked confused now as well. “No…we’re Jedi?”

“Jedi???”

“Muggles???”

The Solo twins looked at the couple as if they had gone mad, a look which was returned in equal vigor.

Jacen shook his head, understanding horribly dawning on him.

“Have you gone to other planets, have you even traveled in space?”

Arthur took the question “Well the Muggles landed on the Moon a couple of decades ago.”

Jacen reeled, “You mean you have only achieved orbital space flight?”

“The Muggles have, but yes.”

The twins looked at each in horror, their twin bond vibrating with the same terrifying thought.

We’re stranded…






Hope you enjoy! Please read and review!

Chapter III: In Which Jacen Solo Channels his Inner Lando Calrissian



Mr. Weasley looked at the two stunned faces. The twins were as pale as ghosts and he noticed Jacen's arm was trembling. Their line of questioning had raised his suspicions and their reaction to his simple answer confirmed it

"So I am correct in assuming you two are not of this planet?"

Jaina finally met his eyes. "Yes."

Instead of looking stunned, as his wife currently was, he positively beamed.

“Amazing!!! So the planes you two were flying are spaceships? You must tell me how they work! What other technology do you have? Can you show me…?”

This babble continued for some time until Mrs. Weasley snapped back to reality.

“Arthur! I’m sure Jacen and Jaina are very tired and under a lot of stress.”

“Oh, right,” Arthur smiled sheepishly, “I’m sorry.”

Jaina almost smiled “It’s alright Mr. Weasley.”

Jacen cut in, “I’m not sure I understand. Your people have never traveled beyond your solar system, yet you all speak perfect Basic.”

“Basic?” Mrs. Weasley looked confused, “We’re speaking English, and so are you.”

Jacen looked rather curious “Interesting…does everyone on this planet speak English?”

Arthur answered “Not everyone on Earth speaks it, although a good number do. Other languages are similar or have similar words.”

“Earth?”

“Yes, that is the name of our planet.”

“In Basic, “earth” is another name for the ground. I think this planet has had previous contact with the galaxy.”

Mr. Weasley had a far away look. “It must have been a very long time ago. If so, I wish we could have stayed in contact…” The room fell silent

The sounds of footsteps on the stairs interrupted the silence.

In walked one of the most beautiful women that Jacen had ever seen. Long silky blonde hair flowed down to the inviting curves of her back. Her bright azure eyes penetrated Jacen to his very core and her perfect white teeth gleamed.

A kick to his shin woke Jacen from his entrancement. His sister sat smirking in amusement. He had been staring unblinkingly at the woman. Fortunately she had either seemed not to notice or was used to it by now.

“Ah, zo you must be the tweens that Bill was speeking of.” She said in a slightly Kuati accent.

Jaina, feeling that Jacen was in no condition to answer, decided to spare her brother any embarrassment. “Yes, I’m Jaina Solo and this is my brother Jacen.”

“Ah. My name eez Fleur Delacour.”

She rounded upon the Weasleys.

“ ‘az Bill returned?”

Molly, who had been glaring at Fleur before, now looked worried. “Not yet.”

All three were now looking at the clock, as if willing Bill’s arrow to move to “home”.

Jaina leaned over to whisper. “What is with you and older blonde women?”

Jacen flashed her a look of annoyance. “I do not know what you are talking about.”

She smiled slyly “So, how is Danni Quee doing?”

Jacen’s face burned.

More pounding came down the stairs and the other three presences that Jaina had sensed earlier burst into the kitchen. The first was a tall red-haired boy with freckled scattered across his cheeks. Right behind him was a younger girl who with her red hair was obviously his sister. Both of their appearances seemed to scream “Weasley!” at the twins. Bringing up the rear was a cute, curly brown-haired girl with bright calculating eyes. Jacen quickly rubbed his face to get rid of his flush.

They stopped short, looking curiously at the two sitting at the table.

The brown haired girl recovered first and stepped forward with her hand extended. “Hello, my name is Hermione Granger.”

Jacen smiled warmly and took her hand, earning himself a quick frown from the red headed boy. “I’m Jacen Solo”

“And I’m his sister Jaina.”

The red-haired girl stepped forward. “I’m Ginny Weasley and this prat,” indicating her older brother who was still looking at Jacen askance, “is my brother Ron.”

Ron sputtered “…perfectly capable of introducing myself,” he muttered under his breath.

Ginny noticed the adults looking at Bill’s arrow.

“Why is he at “mortal peril”? Where is he?”

Mr. Weasley answered, “A rescue mission to save Jaina and Jacen.”

The others looked at the Solos. “From what?” asked Hermione. “Did the Death Eaters come after you?”

The twin bond grew heavy with their shared uncomfortable feelings. “Yeah they came after us,” replied Jacen.

Hermione pressed on. “Why?”

“No idea,” Jaina answered with a dry mouth

Hermione opened her mouth again but Mr. Weasley saved the two. “We will wait for Dumbledore to come. He can answer that better than any of us can.”

An even more welcome distraction was when Mrs. Weasley gave a sudden yelp of relief. “Looks like he will be soon!” Bill’s arrow had turned to “traveling” and a moment later, to “home”.

A succession of cracks sounded outside in the yard and through the window the twins could see the outlines of people coming towards the door.

Mrs. Weasley and Fleur burst out the front door, Fleur beating Molly first by jumping into the arms of a tall, handsome, red-headed man; obviously Bill Weasley.

Mrs. Weasley gave her son a peck on the cheek, while narrowing her eyes at Fleur. “We were so worried!”

Bill answered in a deep mollifying voice. “It wasn’t me you should have been worried about.” He indicated a still body, a middle-aged man in the arms of a young woman with a shock of spiky pink hair.

“Remus!”

“Professor Lupin!”

“It’s alright,” the pink-haired woman answered in an anxious voice, “he’s only been Stunned.”

They walked back into the house, the pink haired woman and a very large, hairy man supporting Lupin. There was now a crowd of them as Bill had brought seven others.

“Near run thing though, a tall black man continued, “thankfully we had Dumbledore.”

The same old man who had saved Jacen replied, “You flatter me, Kingsley. But I confess it was more the kelpie who saved us.”

Arthur broke in, “The Kelpie? You mean the Loch Ness Monster?!”

“Yeh,” the hairy man answered. “Death Eaters were closin’ in and You-Know-Who himself had jus’ Apparated on the other side o’ the lake. Dumbledore summoned the Kelpie an’ it turned on You-Know-Who and the other Death Eaters an’ drove ’em righ’ outta the lake!” He was looking at the Dumbledore admiringly.

Dumbledore smiled slightly. “Thank you, Hagrid.”

The twins had watched all of this in silence. People had almost died for them? Their cheeks grew red with guilt and embarrassment.

Jaina gathered the courage to speak to the old man, who appeared to be the leader. “Umm...Dumbledore, sir?”

They all looked at her.

“Do you know what happened to our X-Wings?”

Jaina’s ears picked up on the faint sound of Ron asking Hermione “what are X-Wings” as Dumbledore smiled down upon her.

“Your beautiful planes? I apologize but during the Loch Ness Kelpie’s rampage, it unfortunately crushed them into pieces and they sank.”

The twins looked at each other with concern. “I’m sorry, but could we…?

“Contact your family?” He appeared to be one step ahead of them. “Take all the time you need.”

The twins walked outside with eyes on their backs, wanting to reach a quite spot in which they could commune effectively with the Force.

“Hey! You guys can use my owl!” Ron called out.

Dumbledore chuckled. “I do not think they will have much use for your owl Mr. Weasley.”






Coruscant

A foreboding feeling had been coming on Luke Skywalker all day. It had been worse for his sister, he mused, since the feeling seemed to have been connected with Jacen and Jaina.

They were all in the apartment, Luke and Leia meditating, the still ill Mara looking out the window, Han pacing the dining room floor and their friend Lando Calrissian trying to lighten the mood with bad jokes which only served to remind them all of Jacen.

Luke reconsidered as he looked at his flustered friend. Han had to be feeling it the toughest. He only had second hand knowledge of the twins’ trouble.

Suddenly he felt a slight brushing against his mind. Recognizing it as his nephew and apprentice Jacen he grabbed hold of the presence, drawing it out into the center of his consciousness. He felt Jacen opening up to another person and was relieved to find Jaina’s presence joining her twins. Now Leia and Mara had entered too and Luke could hear Han saying happily “I think they’ve found them.”

What is it? What's wrong?

Luke could communicate telepathically over a large distance but it was a lot harder for the Jedi apprentices to. They could understand what he was saying but they could not talk back to him through the Force. He could sense their struggle as they strove to communicate in pictures of what they had witnessed.

The blue swirls of hyperspace.

A sudden fall into realspace

An attack by coralskippers and a Vong frigate.

Disaster. All the squadron mates dying, Jacen hit, fleeing the Vong.

Vong retreat. Jacen and Jaina crash-landing on a blue and green planet. Luke could feel Leia’s mind jerk in the bond as she registered its resemblance to Alderaan.

Pictures of friendly looking people. A battle with strange sticks shooting blaster bolts. A feeling of serenity. They were safe at least.

Then another urgent image. A picture of a strange ship flying to the cratered moon and back. Luke grasped the significance immediately. They had no way off-planet

It was almost just as well if the Vong had a base in-system.

Where’s the location of this system?

A quick image of Coruscant and another of Dantooine.

I know this will be hard but if you know it, can you tell me the name of the planet you are on?

In no time at all a picture of an old Dantooine farm came up. Luke stared at the picture, mind churning. But his sister was quicker on the uptake.

Earth…

Are you two safe?


Another picture of the same friendly group of people.

Good. We will check to see if we can find any mention of this planet. Be safe and don’t get into any trouble.

If Jacen and Jaina were right in front of them, Luke would bet they would be rolling their eyes right now.

They all snapped out of the Force meld, looking at the curious Han and Lando.

Luke spoke, “Long story short. They were torn out of hyperspace by a dovin basal. Apparently they were shot down and crashlanded on a planet.”

“Are they safe?” Han demanded.

Leia answered, “Yes dear. They’re apparently in good company. However, the planet they are on is a backwater and they have no way off planet. What’s worse is that we have no idea where the planet is located.”

“Did they give a name?”

“Yes, Earth… It’s anyway from Coruscant to Dantooine.”

“Figures. Leaves us with what? A third of the galaxy to search? Kriffing odd name for a planet named after soil. I assume you’ll be checking the archives. Lando and I will look up our old smuggling contacts. Try to see if they’ve heard of such a planet.”

Lando slapped Han on the shoulder. “I bet you can’t say you’re surprised.”

Han sighed wearily looking into his wife’s eyes. “I’m just glad they didn’t get kidnapped this time. It’s going to be a lot harder to rescue them unlike in the past. Now that we’ve got the Vong to deal with.”

The other reason it was hard was apparent to everyone although no one dare say it front of Han.

No Chewbacca either.






Hope you all enjoyed. I always assumed a Kuati accent would be a French one so I threw that in there. Also it's only been a couple of months since the loss of Chewie so the pain is still fresh for them. Hope you enjoyed, especially Jacen's little interaction with Fleur. Veela can affect Jedi too, especially male adolescent Jedi!

The Kuati accent standing in for the French accent was a cool touch. happy

Loved Mr. Weasley's eagerness to learn about X-Wings! laugh

Liked the confusion over Basic = English. Nice touch.


Jaina leaned over to whisper. “What is with you and older blonde women?”

Jacen flashed her a look of annoyance. “I do not know what you are talking about.”

She smiled slyly “So, how is Danni Quee doing?”

Jacen’s face burned.


*snort*

Poor, poor Jacen. Just wait until he finds out that Fleur has that effect on everyone.


“Hey! You guys can use my owl!” Ron called out.

Dumbledore chuckled. “I do not think they will have much use for your owl Mr. Weasley.”


Not unless Pig has the ability to fly in the vacuum of space. tongue

Glad to see some stuff from Coruscant, too.

Great update!

Good chapter. At least the older Jedi know they're safe. I wonder wizard vs Vong, who wins?
