Alright, I don't know if anyone remembers me or not, I used to post here a while ago. Anyways, here is a story written by padawan Lunetta and I. The first few parts were written by me though and lunetta joins a little later. Hope you all like it! (this takes place at around the Jedi Academy trilogy, but a little after )
Secrets Long Forgotten by padawan feline and padawan lunetta
***
Soft, sprinkling rain fell, watering the lush green jungle of Yavin IV, cleansing the air, making it smell fresh and clean. Trinity Solo cautiously balanced herself on a log that had fallen from the jungle upon the green river. She listened carefully to the rhythmic sound of water crashing against its sides. Her arms were outstretched for better balance as, eyes closed tight, she crossed the river. In her mind she could see the rough texture of the bark, and the outline of the log itself. She knew where it was, and where she needed to step.
"This is ridiculous." Vanis scoffed from the river shore.
Trinity smiled secretly. It was one of the games she'd taught herself recently. To her, it was an excellent way of concentrating and trusting the force to guide her. If she fell into the river, she faced no real danger. Nonetheless, it taught her a skill that might be useful someday. If not, she'd at least have had fun testing her abilities.
Vanis often had trouble understanding her techniques. He preferred to stick to only the basic skills and practices he'd learned from Master Skywalker. It was as if he didn't trust himself yet enough to discover things on his own. This was certainly understandable, Trinity decided. Vanis had been an apprentice to the dark Lord Tarblis, before Trinity and Luke had come to her home planet, Mulroon four months earlier. His Master, Tarblis had been training him to help in his plan to take over the galaxy one planet at a time, by molding and taking over the minds of men, using the teachings of an ancient Sith who in his time, had mastered the technique of mind control.
Luke and Trinity had managed to convince Vanis to abandon the dark side, and together the three had destroyed Tarblis. Even still, Vanis had been careful never to allow himself to indulge in anything that could lead him down the dark path he'd started out on.
Trinity, on the other hand, in addition to learning basic techniques from Master Skywalker, had been anxious to discover herself in the force. She wanted to learn her strong and weak points, to sharpen her skills and learn things on her own. She used her skills as often and frequently as possible, testing her skills on a regular basis. Her latest test involved crossing the river on the fallen log, using nothing but the force to guide her.
"It isn't ridiculous Vanis. It is a way of teaching yourself to trust in the force." Trinity replied, not losing her concentration. "Not to mention kind of fun!"
Vanis snorted.
"Really! You ought to try it." Trinity insisted lightly.
She reached what she knew to be the end of the log, and stepped onto the reassuring soft ground of the river shore. She opened her eyes and grinned at Vanis, who stood on the other side of the river shaking his head.
"That's alright. We should probably be getting back to the main temple soon." Vanis said, brushing the issue aside.
Trinity was not going to give in so easily. "Aw come on Vanis, you afraid of a little water?" She taunted. "You do remember what Master Skywalker said about fear, don't you?"
Vanis' deep brown eyes burst into flames and he raised his eye brows. "Alright Trinity, I'll play your silly game, this time. If it'll get you off my back."
Trinity rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "Hmmm...... It's a deal."For a little while anyway... she added quietly to herself.
Vanis nodded, then mounted the log. He winked at her just before closing his eyes. His chiseled features relaxed, his sandy blonde hair all matted and slightly damp from the gentle rain. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly, lifting his arms and leaving them extended slightly. He took a step, and from there he continued to walk, one careful step at a time, seeing the log only through the eyes the force provided. His features tightened and squinched somewhat, as if he was in deep concentration, and Trinity couldn't help but smile. Had she looked as ridiculous as he did while crossing the log?
"How'm I doing?" Vanis asked, a smile forming on his lips.
"Mmmmm.... pretty good. Slow, but good." Trinity teased.
He paused midway. "Slow?"
"Yes, that's what I said." Trinity said. "What are you afraid of?"
Vanis stiffened. "Alright Solo, now you've asked for it." He said, briefly opening his eyes long enough to give her a mock threatening glance.
Trinity covered her mouth and giggled despite herself, as Vanis reclosed his eyes and ran the rest of the way across. But, he didn't stop there, he opened his eyes grinning at her mischievously. She screamed and ran in the opposite direction, Vanis chasing at her heels. He stretched out his hand and grabbed her arm, swinging her. Trinity grabbed hold of his arm and they both plummeted clumsily into the river.
Soaking wet, and shivering they met each others eyes and like children, broke into an all out splashing war. Several minutes and splashes later, Trinity did her best to rub the water from her eyes with her hands and smiled up at him. "See, there was never anything to be afraid of."
Vanis shook the water from his hair. "It's not the water I feared, it was the fear of becoming as silly and reckless as you." He replied arrogantly.
Trinity rolled her eyes. "At least I know how to have fun."
Vanis considered. "That you do. I suppose there are a few things I can learn from you after all." He conceded.
Trinity raised her eyebrows. She was somewhat surprised by this confession. Ever since he'd come to Yavin IV with her and Luke, he'd been very serious, almost hauntingly so. It was the scars of the dark side, she knew. But this sudden confession proved that he was starting to lighten up. He'd even played her "silly game", she mused.
Perhaps there was hope for him yet. Luke had seen it in him long before Trinity. In fact, she'd thought him to be insane at first for thinking there was indeed, good in the dark apprentice. She'd been wrong.
"Glad you see it that way." She replied, wading to the other side of the river. Vanis sloshing close behind.
"And now, I suppose we'll head back?" Vanis asked, falling into step beside her.
Trinity nodded reluctantly. "I suppose.

Hehe, I wouldn't want to give you all a heart attack wondering what's going to happen next, so I shall post more! (BTW, thanks Gimpy, and Del......Darth McClain)

Luke Skywalker sat at the table in the mess hall with his students, noting that two were missing. He smiled secretly to himself. Trinity was quite the free spirit, she'd indulged herself with her training. She was always seeking out new ways to test herself. She was extremely enthusiastic about everything he'd taught her, and about the things she'd discovered on her own. He couldn't think of a better person for Vanis to be with at this time. Trinity seemed to be helping him out in a way that no one else could. Luke had been able to reach him somewhat, but he almost clung to Luke in a sense, and that had worried him. Vanis needed to learn to trust himself, and learn things for himself. Luke could only teach a student so much. It was up to the student to do the rest. That's the way it needed to be.
The sound of laughter rang out in the hall way, and two figures appeared. Each were soaked to the bone. Luke stared at them a moment before a smile formed on his lips.
"Glad you could join us." He said, lightheartedly.
Trinity grinned. "I'm sorry we're late, we were just.... playing."
Luke held up his hand. "It's alright, although I do suggest you get a little cleaned up and changed before you come to dinner."
Vanis smiled somewhat nervously. "Of course Master."
Luke knew that it would take a while before Vanis really felt comfortable on Yavin. Things were extremely laid back here and Luke got the impression that it wasn't what Vanis had expected it to be.
Trinity grinned roguishly. "Will do, and we'll be back before you have time to miss us Master Skywalker!" She said, dragging Vanis away.
Luke shook his head, amused. Life on Yavin had never seen a dull moment ever since Trinity had arrived. She would make a good Jedi someday, although her recklessness might get her into trouble someday. Luke smirked, you are reckless Yoda's words repeated in his head. She will learn, he added to himself. He had, and apparently Obiwan had also. She would be able to let go of it just as he had. It was just a matter of time, and experience. He hoped......

Alright, thanks Gimpy and Return of Wattawatta I feel so special!!!! Here is the next part.
***
The lights were soft and soothing when she entered the apartment. Soft music played and Leia noted, with a tinge of sadness and longing, that it was a famous piece performed only by Alderaanian symphonies. She crossed the living area, setting a stack of data pads on the coffee table.
"Han?" She called. What was he up to? She wondered. Everything was beautiful, the music the lighting and absolute quiet. Where were the children?
A moment later Han appeared in the doorway to the dining area, grinning roguishly. Leia studied him carefully and couldn't help but return his smile.
"Good evening Princess." Han replied suavely, stepping to her side and offering his arm.
"Han, what's going on..."
"Shhh..." Han placed his fingers on her lips to quiet her. "Just relax, and come with me."
Leia watched him suspiciously, but linked arms with him allowing him to lead her into the dining area, where a beautifully set table awaited. Candles glimmered in the dark, providing the only light. Leia allowed Han to lead her to a seat which he pulled out for her. She sat down and slowly the tenseness and troubles of her day, seemed to slip away. How had Han known?
"I had Winter take the kids to the holo zoo." Han explained with a wink.
"I see." Leia replied. "So what have you got planned for us?"
"That, is a surprise. If you'll just excuse me my dear, I'll go see how the chef is doing." He said. Leia nodded and he disappeared into the kitchen.
Leia shook her head. It was true that they had both been under a lot of stress lately, with the recent battle of Mulroon, and the new base on Utero. It seemed that they went from one galaxy saving mission, to the next. They never had time to sit back and enjoy life, and the product of all they had fought so dearly to preserve. Sometimes she fleetingly wished they could both retire from their duties and move to a quiet planet and simply raise their family. Although she knew neither of them could ever be truly happy if they did.
Perhaps then a vacation? Leia smiled at that thought. The Chief of State attempting a vacation? It would be over almost before it even began. Something would come up threatening the galaxy and she'd be forced to return to her duty. No she'd simply have to settle for rare quiet evenings like these. She was glad he'd tried to make it special.
Just then, the doors flew open to the kitchen, and a red faced Han, shot through. Crossing to the table and sitting in his seat, grumbling something inaudible under his breath.
"Han," Leia questioned. "What is it?"
"You'll find out soon enough." Han growled through clenched teeth.
The doors to the kitchen flew open again and Threepio emerged pushing a dinner cart. The faint smell of burnt something immediately could be detected. He placed a plate of almost burnt to a crisp shoki, with what looked like a sheri sauce, or what was supposed to be anyway. Han scowled angrily down at his plate.
"Oh I do apologize Mistress Leia and General Solo. I believe my internal chronometer experienced a brief malfunction. If you wouldn't mind the wait I'm sure I could...."
"Save it golden rod." Han cut him off.
Leia covered a smile that formed on lips with her hand.
"This will be alright Threepio. Thank you." Leia replied.
"Of course." Threepio said, then left the room.
Leia glanced at Han, who remained withdrawn and angry. Leia knew how he felt, but couldn't help but find the entire situation to be humorous. She couldn't hold it in any longer, she began to laugh, lightly at first, but continued until she was laughing so hard that tears squeezed out of her eyes. Han simply stared at her, doing his best not to join in.
"Oh Han, it's alright. All that matters is that we're here together, to enjoy one another's company." Leia said, finally gaining control over her laughter.
Han smiled at her. "Yeah, true. But I had wanted this to be special. Leave it to ol' golden rod to screw up something as easy as shoki with sheri sauce."
Leia took Han's hand from across the table. That's ok Han, I appreciate the thought none the less."
Han grinned. "Well, it looked like you could use a break." He said simply.
Just then, Threepio burst back into the dining area. "Excuse me Mistress Leia I..."
"Not now Threepio. I told you not to disturb us, didn't I?" Han said annoyed.
"Yes General Solo but..."
But nothing. It can wait."
"Go ahead Threepio." Leia cut in tiredly. She should have known something would cut into her night off.
"Thank you Mistress Leia. There is a message for you from Utero. It has been coded as extremely urgent."
"Utero?" Leia rose to her feet, giving Han an apologetic look. She crossed over to him and kissed him tenderly. "I'm sorry my love. I'm sure this will only be a moment."
"Sure sweetheart." Han grumbled.
*****
The next post will reveal the evil plot! So keep reading PLEASE!!!!!
