	Falcon: When does Ladora do anything good? RebelMom: starts bouncing around thread New reader!!!! Hint: the family get reunited, but not in the way people will like. Well, here’s the last of Secret Plan! Hope you like it! “Mara, stop pacing. You’re making me nervous.” Ignoring her husband’s command, Mara continued to pace. “I might stop if you would help me out here,” she suggested. Luke, sitting on their bunk on the Falcon, shook his head. “I told you, this is your decision. I can’t help you.” At those words, Mara did stop. “Can’t or won’t, Luke?” she asked. She watched his mouth curl up in thought. “Both.” Mara sighed, “You’re hopeless, Skywalker.” Luke’s eyebrows shot up. “Last name? Maybe I should help. Mara, you’ve been going over this for three months now. It can’t be this hard.” She shot him a look, but did not say what came to mind. She was already having second thoughts on her decision. She did not need to remind him of his decisions in recent months, not that Mara wanted to be reminded of them either. “Mara, I think you have good reasons,” he continued. She started pacing again. “I know. I think I do, too.” “And you’ve already told Leia,” Luke reminded her. Mara felt as if her stomach was turning inside out. She wished it would stop. “I know.” Luke shrugged his shoulders. “What else is there to decide?” Mara stopped and crossed her arms. “She’s going to hate me,” she said. There. What she was dreading was out. Her husband shook his head. “She won’t hate you. She won’t like it, but she won’t hate you. She’ll understand it’s for the best sooner or later.” Someone knocked on their cabin door. Luke got up. “Well, I think I’ll leave.” Mara threw him a suspicious look. “If she’s not going to hate me, why are you leaving?” Luke grinned. “Because I don’t want to be in trouble with her. May the Force be with you, Mara. Bye.” He walked out of the cabin and Jaina came in. “You wanted to see me, Aunt Mara?” Mara looked at her niece and took a deep breath. It was now or never. “Sit down. We need to talk.” Jaina sat on an extra bunk. She suddenly looked alarmed. “Why do I have the feeling this is going to be bad?” she asked. Mara shook her head. “It’s not bad. Jaina, I think you need a new master.” Just as Mara thought, Jaina looked alarmed. “What? Why? Why do I need a new master?” “Because there are things you need to learn that you can’t learn from me,” explained Mara. “Well, who do I need to learn them from?” Mara hoped this would be better than she imagined it would be. “Your mother.” Mara had hoped wrong. Jaina exploded. “My mother?” she shouted, standing up. “Why do I need to learn from my mom?” “Because you need to, Jaina,” said Mara gently. Jaina took some deep breaths. “Mom and I have gotten along much better lately,” she argued, “and besides, what can I possibly learn from her, anyway?” For some reason, that comment got to Mara. She stood up and crossed her arms. “I really don’t have the answer to that seeing as neither I nor your mother nor your father nor your uncle ever knew our mothers!” As soon as she said it, she felt guilt. Jaina took a couple of steps back and lowered her head. She did not say anything. Mara knew she should not have shouted at Jaina, but she had to realize her becoming a student of her mother’s would be better for both of them. “Jaina, you are Leia’s only child now and…” “No,” said Jaina in a hollow voice, “Jacen’s still alive. I would know if he was dead.” Mara smiled slightly. “I know you would, but, as of right now, you are the one closer to Leia. Lessons from her would not only help you, but her as well, all right?” A few seconds past, then Jaina nodded her head. Mara looked sadly at her former student and asked her to follow. They walked to Han and Leia’s quarters. Mara glanced inside the cabin and knew she was doing the right thing. Leia looked happier than she had in months. She was sitting in the floor and had holograms scattered all over the room. She was flipping through one of them when she looked up and smiled brightly. “Mara! Hi!” Mara returned the smile. “Hi. Here she is.” Jaina stood in the doorway. She looked shocked. She must not have realized how much this meant to Leia, thought Mara. She gave a little push on Jaina’s shoulder and she walked in. Leia gestured to the floor. “Jaina, sit down and we’ll get started,” she said. As Jaina nodded and sat down, Mara slipped out and closed the door. This is right, it feels right, she thought. Satisfied, she decided to locate her ‘cowardly’ husband and find out how much longer it was to Tatooine. ____________ Anakin looked out the Probe’s window to see Telti shrink away. Ladora had gotten another call from her sources and now they were headed toward a planet where rumor had it, the Vong had a new weapon. A lump got caught in his throat. The last time he was on the planet was with Tahiri when they underwent a Tusken rite of passage. Tatooine was going to bring back a lot of memories. ****** Can you say confrontation? Here’s the other Christmas present! Present!!!! Go down until you see the red letters. Read it then read the post below it. I hope you like it.

	Almost lynching time, people! Until then here’s seventeen! Back to Han and the gang! For the moment. Hints of the final battle are located in this chapter! Can you find them? Chapter Seventeen “Undercover” Han walked off the Falcon’s ramp and into the docking bay. He had his hand on his blaster, but the bay appeared to by deserted. Never can be too sure, he thought. The only people around were those he knew. Mara was rummaging through her bag while Jaina talked to Zekk and Tahiri. Zekk, along with Kyp Durron, had offered to join the mission right before they left. Could be worse, thought Han as he reflected on Durron, He and Fel could be on the ship. The group had split up into two groups; the Solo and Skywalkers on the Falcon and everyone else on Mirax’s Pulsar Skate. Han did not care if Fel was Wedge’s nephew or that he and Kyp were old friends; if they went within ten meters of his daughter, he would blast them! Han turned toward the ramp just as his wife and brother-in-law came off it. Leia had said she and Luke had to get something before they disembarked the ship. He wondered what it was. Luke took a quick look around the hanger. “They’re not here yet?” he asked. “Nope,” murmured Mara. “What did you two need?” Han asked them. Luke glanced away. Leia did not meet Han’s eyes either. “It was nothing,” she said. She started to walk over to Mara, but Han noticed a familiar piece of string around her neck. He groaned. “Leia, I thought we agreed that…thing would be kept away.” Caught, Leia brought out the strange necklace both she and Luke were wearing. It did not look at all odd at first glance. The piece was a fine blue-clear crystal tied to a normal string, but the thing that held the string and the crystal together was the strange part: it was alive. The twins had gotten the pendents at their individual weddings, but no name was attached. Han, being a smuggler, did not like receiving unknown gifts and objected quite a bit when the Vong started to invade thinking they could be a trap. He had thought they had put the matter to rest. Apparently, he was wrong. “Han, this is…” started Leia, but could not find the words and looked toward her brother. Luke flinched at facing Han’s glare. “It’s a Force thing, Han,” he explained. “Han, I know we decided to put them away in case they are a trick, but…” Leia gave Han a pleading look. He could tell she knew he would not understand. Han shook his head. “You had better hope,” he said finally, “that it isn’t a Vong trick.” Smiling slightly, Leia walked over and embraced her husband. “Thank you,” she whispered. Of all the woman in the galaxy, I had to go marry a Jedi, he thought humorously, but he would not have it any other way. The two parted when they started to hear someone approach the hanger. Han replaced his hand over his blaster. Corran Horn stuck his head in, took a quick look around and walked into the docking bay, his hands also near his blaster and lightsaber. The rest of his group walked in behind him and it was when the door closed Han relaxed his grip on his weapon. As the group got settled, a regal voice asked, “Now that we are together, what is our next move?” The Solos and Skywalkers looked toward the new voice. “Tenel Ka?” asked Luke. “What are you doing here?” “I arrived at the Errant Venture to engage in some talks with Leia,” said the new Hapan Queen. “When I found out about your mission, I asked to come along.” “Dropped everything in order to come with us?” remarked Mara. The lizard-skin clad warrior turned toward the tall red head. “This is a fact.” Mara glowed at the rest of them. “Please tell me we are dividing into groups.” “I had thought about that on the way here,” stated Wedge. “Divide by families into groups of three?” “I like that,” agreed Luke. He glanced over at Mara. “That ok?” The red head shrugged her shoulders. “Fine.” “What about those of us who aren’t family?” asked Kyp. Han’s face hardened. Durron was staring at Jaina. Corran must have seen Han’s look because he said, “You can come with us. Tenel Ka, too. Mirax and I need more people in our group.” They spent a few more seconds deciding where the other non-members would go with. Once that was finished (which, much to Han’s satisfaction, caused Kyp and Fel to adopt sour faces), they agreed to meet Karrde back in the landing bay in two hours. Mara shouldered her backpack as the Antellies and Fels, the last group before Han’s, left. “Where to?” she asked. Luke tucked his lightsaber away so it would not be seen. “I know a few places,” he said. _____________________ Anakin and Chewie sat at the acceleration table playing a game. Chewie growled something. “No,” Anakin replied, “I’m too well-known to go.” The Wookiee shrugged and proceeded to take Anakin’s piece. “How’s the game?” asked Lenny as he came into the area. “It’s going ok,” said Anakin as he looked up and was taken aback at Lenny’s appearance. He had bleached his curly hair blond and had put in blue contacts. He was wearing a plain brown jumpsuit, which he looked very uncomfortable in. Anakin guessed he was not used to being out of his ropes. Ladora walked in the area and Anakin did double take. The girl had also bleached her long hair blond and had put in blue contacts. Her eye-enhancers were gone. She wore black pants and shirt with a yellow jacket. Both reminded Anakin of Uncle Luke and the only ways he could tell the two apart were the length and curls of their hair and the shape of their bodies. Ladora saw Anakin’s surprised look and looked at Lenny. She exploded. “CHANGE YOUR HAIR COLOR! NOW!” Lenny started cowering next to the wall. Anakin winced at the look of terror on his face. “I SAID CHANGE IT!” She started toward him and he started crawling toward the wings of the ship. The two people left behind heard Ladora start on her brother the moment they disappeared around the corner. Anakin and Chewie began to get up. They were not going to let Ladora hurt him, but something happened. There was a loud thump and Lenny tore around the corner with a look of pure horror on his face. He ran into the cockpit, closed and locked the door. Ladora came around the corner, rubbing the back of her head and fury etched onto her face. She started pounding on the cockpit door. “COME OUT NOW! YOU’RE NOT GETTING AWAY WITH THAT!” Chewie and Anakin sat back down. From the sound of it, Lenny kicked his twin and caused her to hit the wall. Anakin was not sure whether to be proud Lenny was standing up for himself or worried the young Naboo Prince was starting to lose his calm. Ladora banged on the door one last time, stared at it menacingly for a moment and looked at Anakin. “Why aren’t you getting ready?” she asked. Anakin blinked. “I can’t,” he answered. “I’m too well known to be seen!” “Oh, please!” she snorted. She grabbed him by the collar and started to drag him away. Chewie watched them go with a look of concern on his furry face. Ladora pushed him into Rene’s room. “Work on him,” she said. “I have some things to use on him in my room.” Rene shook her head as Ladora left the room. She motioned Anakin to sit down. He did so and watched uncomfortably as she started to rummage through compartments. Anakin looked back toward the door and saw a yellow Twi’lek wearing a tight brown leather dress standing in the doorway. She looked at Anakin. “Ladora said we are to disguise him,” stated Caiya. Rene nodded and pulled out a pack of color crawlers. “That’s right.” Caiya the Twi’lek studied him. “Close your eyes,” she said finally. Anakin did as instructed and cried out when he felt her claw his face! He opened his eyes painfully slow and peeked around the room. Caiya was licking one hand while tearing some green clothes with the other. Rene was looking at her color-crawlers and him, sorting them. Ladora had returned and was on the floor, sorting through a pile of ropes and chains while punching something into her datapad. Anakin gulped. He had a bad feeling about this mission. ****** begins preparations to go into hiding -----signature----- "Without Anakin Solo, the SW Universe is lost and confused” - Padme FADA Minister of Insanity, Lunacy and Fanaticism Anakin Solo Day - October 30, 2006.

	Ok, I hate doing this, but I hate the other thing even more. So...... I don't know where everyone is, but I'm not going to post the next chapter until I get to page 11. I really don't like posting three chapters on the same page. The good news is the chapter I'm writing is no where near done so that leaves lots of time for this to happen. No one hurt me!!!!!!!!!!

	Fine. Don't listen to me. Don't care about me. I'll up the stupid thing myself seeing as no one cares about me and my fic when I could very well be at my life changing stage and have the story that could make or break my journalistic dreams. But no, no one cares about me, no one cares that I could sitting here with my eyes watering as my entire world falls apart before my very eyes. No. No one cares about that, I suppose. No one cares I could be hurt by those actions. No one cares. No one has. I started off alone and I stay alone because that's how I was meant to be. DOES ANYONE CARE THAT I'M FALLING ABOUT AS MY ENTIRE LIFE DECIDES TO HIT ME OVER AND OVER AGAIN???????? DOES ANYONE THINK THAT MAYBE I COULD BE HURT BY THOSE ACTIONS????????????

	a lone box lies in the thread. someone curiously opens it and pulls out a tape player and the post. the player starts Hey everyone! I’m somewhere, can’t say where since I’m in fear of my life. All I can say is that I’m well safe from everyone. Move! I need some room! Anyway here’s the post and enjoy (doubt you will, but still). tape player explodes, destroy any possible trace of JSM Chapter Eighteen “Another Meeting” I’ll kill them! I’ll kill all three of them for this! thought Anakin. He sat alone in a cantina, drinking some vile liquid that burned his throat. Ladora, Rene and Caiya had given him a major makeover: he was wearing a torn green jumpsuit with chains wrapped around his wrists, ankles and neck. Wookiee braids hung off his shoulders (donated by Chewie who collected his loose fur) and his skin was darker than normal (Anakin did not ask what Rene had done). His spiked hair was a mix of green and purple, his eyes were mismatched red and green and he had two high-powered blasters low on his hips. He looked nothing like Anakin Solo. I’ll kill them! I swear I will! In reality, Anakin knew he would do no such thing, but the bitter thoughts kept a sour look on his face and he needed that look as he stared down the cantina patrons. The rest of his friends were scattered in pairs of two over the building. Ladora and Ken sat in a position that caused Anakin to long for Tahiri. A blond and pink haired Talon and Rene were having a contest at the bar while Caiya gave a threatening look to anyone who went within two meters of her and a now red haired Lenny. Anakin took another sip of his drink. There had been no sign of anything related to the Vong as the rumors had suggested. Looks like there’s nothing here, he sent to Ladora. No, it doesn’t. Get ready to leave. Anakin drained his drink and slammed his glass on the table. Then he nearly choked, not from the burning in his throat, but from whom he saw in the doorway. Luke stepped into the cantina, followed by Mara, Leia, Han, Jaina, Zekk and…Tahiri! Ladora sensed them because she sent, Get out NOW! Anakin started to obey. His heart ached, but his head told him it would be better to leave. He had to complete his mission. Nothing, however, turned out to be easy. “Where you going?” Anakin felt himself thrown against the wall. When his vision cleared, he found himself being held by a very ugly looking human. “You have a problem?” rasped Anakin at his assaulter. A voice-changer caused his voice to become much lower than normal. “Yeah! You were sitting in my booth!” raged the human. Anakin mentally shook his head. The human had been sitting not far from him for a good time and had not bothered him before now. Clearly, he was intoxicated. Anakin glanced quickly at the door. His family, some of them anyway, looked curiously at his predicament. He looked back at the man. “And your point is…?” If it was possible, he became angrier. “Don’t you know who I’m with? I’m with the Peace Brigade! We’re allied with the Yuuzhan Vong! We plan on ruling this galaxy!” So now you show yourself! thought Anakin. Outwardly, he rolled his eyes. “Yeah? So?” “Why you little…!” Before he could finish his threat, Ladora pulled out her blaster, yelled, “Don’t touch me!” and blasted the nearest booth. The Brigader looked toward her. As he was distracted, Anakin pulled out his own blasters and shot the man in the knees, the only place Anakin could think of where he could do the less harm. The Brigader cried out in anger and pain. Before the man could fall to the ground, Anakin moved quick and held him against the wall. He placed one blaster on the human’s neck. “I’m feeling good today,” he rasped, “so you’ll live, but don’t cross my path again.” He dropped him and headed for the door. He hoped Uncle Luke would let him by, however, he was only half-right. Uncle Luke stared at him with raised eyebrows, but did not block his path. “Was that necessary?” he asked. Anakin knew the answer, but as he was not Anakin Solo at the moment, he had to act accordingly. “Why do you care?” Anakin growled back. His uncle stayed calm. For the first time, Anakin found that calmness unnerving. “There were other, less violent ways to deal with him,” answered Luke. He wanted to leave; Ladora was telling him to leave, but he stayed rooted on the spot, rolled his eyes and said, mockingly, “So you want me to be ‘noble Jedi’ and get myself killed? I don’t think so!” Uncle Luke did not show it, but Anakin felt his comment had slightly hurt him. Feeling ashamed, he tried to move forward, but was stopped by an angry, blond girl. His eyes widened at the sight of her, at Tahiri. “You don’t know what you’re talking about,” she informed him. “The Jedi have saved the lives of many people over the years and we will save people this time and win this war. It’s only a matter of time.” Then she looked at him, as if she thought she had shut him up. Get out! Ignore her! Get out! a voice (his or Ladora’s) kept repeating over and over again, but Anakin stayed. “Really? I don’t see you winning. When are going to make a move? Oh, that’s right, Jedi don’t fight back. They let themselves be stepped on!” he said, mocking her as his heart broke. He watched Luke put a hand on Tahiri’s shoulder. He looked calm, but Anakin felt him try to stay patient. The rest of his family tried to keep their anger down, except for Tahiri. “The Jedi do fight when the lives of others are in danger,” she started to choke. “Many have died to save the lives of others.” Anakin had to get out and he knew of one thing that would ensure he did. The price of it, however, was the emotional scars he would leave. “Really?” he started, his voice startlingly level. “If the Jedi were so powerful, then how come they can’t save their own lives? I bet you’re not powerful as you make yourselves out to be.” Then Anakin questioned, knowing his words would be like a knife into their souls, “If the Jedi were powerful, then why didn’t that Anakin Solo live?” As he expected, his family flinched as he had slapped them. He continued, “If he was as powerful as he was supposed to be, why didn’t he live? He didn’t have any power. He was worthless. His death just shows what little power you Jedi have,” contended Anakin and, unable to bear seeing their shocked and hurt faces any longer, pushed his way out. The next thing he knew he was in the alleyway where, on the other side of a black hole, rested the Probe. His mind became a blank when he stepped out of the cantina. He fumbled for the crystal control, pressed the button and entered the black hole. He walked the short way across the desert planet and made his way up the ship’s ramp. Barely hearing Chewie and Lusa’s talking in the hanger, he sat on the ascceleration table where he and Chewie had played earlier that day. Anakin let go. The tears flowed freely down his face, smearing Rene’s make-up and causing his scars to burn, like the scars he caused in his family must be doing now. He buried his face in his hands as a thought finally formed in his mind: They’ll never forgive me! _______________ somewhere, an evil smiley comes out -----signature----- "Without Anakin Solo, the SW Universe is lost and confused” - Padme FADA Minister of Insanity, Lunacy and Fanaticism Anakin Solo Day - October 30, 2006.
