Wow...I just found this...it's great.
Gotta say, I love the way you humourously write neurotic-Jaina. I've laughed out loud a couple times reading this! This is one of the best examples of a first-person fic I've read.
Bravo!
And by the way EVIL EVIL EVIL cliffie!

Mundo long post.
Yes people, I'm still alive.
--
It must be criminal for me to have been this happy. I mean, come on. Honestly, as a Skywalker and and Solo, I am not entitled to this kind of bliss. It’s illegal. Well, it must be. To have this sort of thing happen to me, I mean. Me. Of all the people in the kriffing galaxy, it was ME. Stubborn, proud, spoiled little me. Jaina Solo. Me.
You can’t really blame me for it, either, though. Really. It wasn’t even my fault. (I don’t think it was, anyway.) For once, it’s NOT. MY. FAULT.
I know, I know. Surprising. Unbelievable. But I’m not even kidding.
I must have been kriffing stoned. Someone must have spiked my drink with spice or something. Because that’s the only logical explanation I could offer. If I were sane and in my right mind, I should have told myself that what I thought had happened really never did happen.
Because that statement would hold some truth to it. Maybe I’m overreacting. Maybe I’m just dreaming and I’ll wake up to find this all just a horrible nightmare. Because something as good as this just don’t happen to me. They don’t.
But it did. This time.
Perhaps I was just over-intellectualizing. Perhaps I just needed some more sleep. Perhaps it really, truly, honestly never, ever happened.
But it DID. Sweet Force, it did.
I knew, so knew that I shouldn’t have really been this super-happy over this. Because even if it did happen, it wasn’t like it was a huge thing. He didn’t kiss me, he didn’t profess his undying love for me, and he sure as nine hells didn’t ask me to marry him (things which I really wouldn’t have minded, by the way).
But he did hug me.
He HUGGED me.
HE hugged ME.
He hugged me.
HE. HUGGED. ME.
HE HUGGED ME!!!!
Okay, it’s not like he’s never hugged me before. He’s probably hugged me hundreds of times since I first met him (or, really, when he first met me), even before I could formulate complete sentences. He’s hugged me more times than I can even remember.
But the thing is, I didn’t KNOW that I was in love with him then.
Okay. Maybe I did have a crush on him since I was like, nine. But still. That was a totally different situation. I didn’t even know where babies came from then. (Or maybe I did, only I didn’t let anyone know that, since it wasn’t really polite to let your parents know that you knew. So yeah.)
So technically, logically, and theoretically, I shouldn’t have though much of it. He probably didn’t mean it in any other way besides in a fatherly/brotherly/mentor-ly way. That, and that he doesn’t care for me any more than how much he cares for a little sister.
But that doesn’t change the fact that I’m in love with him.
I twisted in my sheets so that I lay on my side, my cabin dark and silent except for the air circulator above my bunk. I stopped myself when I thought about that. It doesn’t change the fact that I’m in love with him.
Somehow I hated that. I hated that we were cursed with this awful thing called “love.” Why couldn’t humans just procreate and get on with life? Why did love have to exist in the first place and complicate everything?? If we didn’t have love we could be simply affectionately attached to a person, yet still be able to dislodge ourselves from a relationship that was really pointless.
Which was exactly what I had with Kyp—a very pointless, one-sided relationship. Romantically speaking, of course.
But then I realized—what the kriffing Force was a saying? I knew I was just trying to lie to myself again.
That’s right, for sure.
I ignored that tinny voice. You’d think when I already began to agree with it that it would leave me alone. Apparently not.
Anyway. I suppose it was my entire fault in the first place, after all. For obsessing over him when I knew I shouldn’t have had. For hating him so much to the point that that emotion turned into something more eh, friendly.
It was kind of ironic. I mean, here I was, scolding myself for obsessing over something that wasn’t mine in the first place. Yet I kept on thinking and replaying what had happened that afternoon, for no specific reason.
There he was, all mentor-ish, looking me straight in the eye. I knew he was about to scold me on just how un-Jedi-like I’d been behaving. Which wasn’t really my fault. Would anyone willingly give up command of the squadron they worked so hard to attain? Uh, no. Unless you were some Chiss iceblock or something.
Which reminded me of yet another problem, but I won’t go into details on that right now.
So yeah. I decided not to say anything to stop him from lecturing me on the aforementioned subject, because I already figured that every time I try to open my mouth to say something smart in his presence, I usually ended up looking like a compete idiot. So I kept quiet.
Until he said “Jaina, what’s wrong?” and I totally lost it again. I didn’t think there was anything wrong with me at all. If you asked me, I really thought that there was something wrong with him for being such a retard enough to ask me the stupid question. Because you don’t just go asking that question to an angry Solo. Like me, at the time.
“Wrong with me?” I practically yelled at him, indignantly. I even totally forgot I was in love with him and all. I was just really, really mad. At him, particularly. “Look. I appreciate you trying to be all cordial and all, sir, but I didn’t ask for your sympathy. Why don’t you get your kriffing arse out of my kriffing room and just leave me alone!”
I could feel my nostrils flaming in rage. I honestly was furious at him. Not totally because I lost my command to him, like I said, but because I just felt like venting all the stress I’d been experiencing lately on the one thing in sight—him. Kind of ironic, too, though, considering that much of that stress could really be attributed to him.
But I forgot all that. All I wanted was to just sit down and cry. Alone. The last thing I wanted was to let him see me in a wreck. A Jedi, crying? A Skywalker, crying? A Solo, crying? That just didn’t happen. He’d probably think I had something wrong in my head. Like I was stupid or something. And I fully thought that he thought that I was stupid. I sure felt like it.
I guess he could sense that I was about to cry and that I just really wanted to be left alone. I don’t know if he did what he did because he just really concerned, or because he felt sorry for the little spoiled brat he thought I was. But then I did start crying. And I felt like a complete, utter imbecile.
And I was sitting down on my bunk, you see, so I just averted my eyes and hoped he would just leave. But he didn’t. The next thing I knew, he had seated himself beside me and hugged me.
That’s right. Hugged me.
And I don’t know what happened next. I think I said something like, “I’msosorry. Ididn’tmeantoshoutatyoulikethat. Iwasactingsostupid. I’msosorry,” in between trying to catch my breath and shed tears at the same time.
I can’t even remember what took place after that. All I remember is he just hugged me until I stopped crying, and he said it was okay, and he said that he understood the stress that I must have been going through, or whatever.
So you must understand that do have ample reason to feel very happy.
Because, come on, when you comfort someone like that, you must at least have some feelings for that person.
Either that, or you just feel really sorry for them.
But I don’t think he just felt sorry for me!! I think he was really worried I would go mental or something if I didn’t take a break from all the military duties and Jedi duties and everything else I have to do.
And besides, you just don’t hug someone in that way if you like them, even the tinniest little bit!!!
Right??????????

I. LOVE. YOU.
Judging by your record of updating so far (i.e., damn well TERRIBLE), this could well be the last update I read on this before I go back to school.
Hell, when I read this story, it was April. Almost two months ago. I probably need to read it again (in fact, I do need to read it again)
But this.. this was... this was a GREAT post to keep me happy until I can next visit the boards. I don't care that it wasn't written for me. It was now. Just for me. Just so I had something really really good to read before I have to go back to that hellho- I mean, school.
And YES, I still want to get PM's. PM's keep me going through school, because I check my e-mail and see the little notification and think, wow, when I get home, I HAVE A FIC TO READ!!!
Jaina is just brilliant and hilarious here. The whole fic. Love it.
EDIT: And I got first reply, and you have 400 posts, and your 400th was an UPDATE, and wow the world looks good today.
Please note that it's 1am here, and I've been up since 9am (not my meanest feat, to be sure, but an early rise for a holiday). Any posts I make from now on, until 10AM GMT, are not to be taken at 100% face value. Being tired makes me hyper. Just be glad there's no ice-cream in the house, because late-night dj + ice-cream = hyperhyperfangirl
Actually, there <i>might</i> be ice-cream... *wanders off to check*

Wow! I love it! So very neurotic, but exactly the way someone would think in that situation! Trying to rationalize everything, trying to be logical, and then going back and being like...he wouldn't do this if he didn't, right??? PERFECTO!!!!!
I came, I read, I giggled...it was great.

PS. I always love getting PM's from people when they update
