	Yay. This is my second fanfiction here, my first being 'At Least Smile' (from a long time ago. >_<) --- but I decided to write another. And here it is. Hehe. This is basically a rough draft, to get feedback on and fix before I stick it in the fanfiction section on the J/TK fanlisting. And it's not separated into chapters yet... it's just little parts. O_o I'll post a couple parts everytime I update. Alright I'm done rambling now. On with the story. (And yes, if you've heard the song called 'Simply Being Loved' by BT... you'll know where the name came from. cackle) Title: 'SIMPLY BEING LOVED' Author: ME! Rating: By the end, I'm sure it'll be a strict PG-13. MUAHA. Disclaimer: YEAH. I wish I was making money off of this. >_< It's all about Lucas. Summary: The Yuuzhan Vong are gone. Memories that were meant to be buried resurface as General Jacen Solo, his family and a few close friends vacation to Hapes. The Commander of the Hapan Fleet, Gadell Vessau has other plans. Marriage to the Queen Mother and mild schizophrenia are all in a days work for him. Will Jacen and Tenel Ka ever get together? -------- The celebration was huge. Millions of people dancing and yelling, the streets of every planet, filled to the brim with people. People broadcasting congratulations over coms, families reunited --- it was an incredibly joyous occasion. What was left of the Yuuzhan Vong (with the exception of the ones who wanted to settle and join society) had been driven out of the galaxy or killed, mostly by pieces of the Imperial Remnant, the New Republic Army and a large part of the Hapan fleet. Many of the slaves the Yuuzhan Vong had taken were saved, some were long gone. On Corellia, the New Republic was having a celebration. There were many dignitaries present and many soldiers, along with the fleets and their families. There was drinking and dancing, eating and laughing. It was an all over exciting event. The formal event, that would recognize the heroes of the war was going to be held the next night on Hapes. Not many people were looking forward to remembering the war, all the people that were lost, all the planets that were shattered forever... but it had to be done sometime. And the formal event, with it's medals and it's speeches, would be just the right amount of closure everyone was looking for. Night fell and everyone crawled into bed, preparing for the ceremonies the next day. All was quiet. --- Jacen Solo watched as blood spilled from the Queen Mother's wound. Everything went in slow motion as she fell backwards, crashing to the ground in a blurry heap of green and black silk, copper hair and smooth red liquid. His calm visage twisted into a look of horror and panic as he started over to her prone body, going incredibly slow. His limbs felt heavy as he moved across the chamber, it was like he was running through a vat of bacta. What have I done? He was having flashbacks to that duel, so many years ago. The accident which cost the Queen Mother her left arm. He always blamed himself for it, even though she told him time and time again that it was her own fault. He wouldn't let her keep all the blame to herself. But now... he knew this was all his fault. In the duel at the academy, her arm was cauterized. No blood. I couldn't stop it in time. He crashed to his knees beside her body, the cloth of his pants soaking up her blood. Jacen pulled her into his lap and hugged the Hapan queen to his chest. "I'm sorry... please..." He searched for her through the Force. She was gone. Tenel Ka had died. --- Pacing. Back and forth. Jacen had woken up with a start, the same dream had played out in his sleep again. Tenel Ka, dying, bloody, dead. He woke up panting, sweating and shivering, slid himself out of his tangled sheets and began to pace. Towards his bed, he turned around, back towards his mirror, continue. He stopped and looked up at himself in the mirror. Jacen Solo was twenty-three. Same brown dishevled hair, same deep brown eyes. He had gotten rid of his beard a couple months before, when his mother commented on how it started to look like a 'fuzzy ysalamiri crawling across his face.' He was clad in just the pants of his beige flight suit. Getting in late the night before, Jacen only had the energy to shuffle himself out of his shirt and shoes before collapsing onto his bed. His muscles were still toned and he was still in pretty good shape after his jaunt out of Yuuzhan'tar; where the New Republic lost Ganner Rhysode. He spun around, letting his eyes close as he leaned back against the mirror, slowly letting himself slide to the ground. What is with this dream? Or is it a vision... His eyes shot open. A vision. No... Jacen pushed himself off of the ground and threw on a plain white shirt. It can't be. He slammed his fist onto the button, mounted on the wall, and the door slid open. It was the middle of the night, but had anyone been in that hallway at that moment, they would've seen a lone, wide-eyed Solo kid dashing down the corridor like he was chasing after one of his escaped pet animals. --- Jacen sat cross-legged on the ground in the middle of the garden, meditating. In the Force, he found his sister, curled up with Jag Fel up on the rooftop under the stars, sleeping. In the Force, he found his parents, fast asleep in their own bed... Han snoring. In the Force, he found Tahiri and Lowbacca, feigning insomnia to play a few rounds of sabacc. In the Force, far away, he found a faint glimmer, a shard of someone he held faraway, but very close. There you are. He would check on her every once in awhile. But he didn't want to check too much, she would probably think he was trying to look after her. And she didn't like that. But as he sat there using the Force to sneak his way near her mind, he could feel her slumber, and toss and turn, and breathe. She's breathing. She was breathing easily, but her emotions didn't portray the same amount of simplicity. Jacen sensed desperation and the feeling of being overworked and empty. Tenel Ka... Jacen opened his eyes and pulled back from her before she could wake up and scold him through their connection. He hadn't seen her in awhile... not since the Yuuzhan Vong invasion stopped, anyways. They would be leaving Corellia the next morning for Hapes. So he would have the chance to see her again. He pulled himself up and started back to his room. --- After waking up in the morning and after a long, warm shower and some clean clothes, Jacen showed up in the dining hall and sat down beside his sister. "What's with the bags, Jasa?" "Huh?" "The bags under your eyes...? Didn't get any sleep last night?" Jacen shook his head and chuckled, "No, I got some sleep." Jaina eyed her brother, a look of skepticism crossing her face, "You had that dream again didn't you? ...the one about Tenel Ka." The spoon he almost had up to his mouth stopped as he turned his head to look his twin, "What do I do? It seems so real. Should I talk to Uncle Luke about it?" "Uncle Luke will tell you the same thing he's always been telling you lately. You have to figure things out for yourself. You're twenty-three now, Jacen! Luke can't baby us in the Force like he's done for so many years," Jaina exclaimed, as she chewed on a piece of leftover ryshcate, from the night before. A nod. "You're right." "I know I am." "Hey guys," Jag said as he seated himself across from Jaina. "Morning dear." Jaina lightly kicked the rigid pilot under the table. He winced. "Hey Jag," Jacen stared down into his bowl. Jag took a sip from his drink. "What's everyone up to today?" "I have to pack for the trip. We're leaving soon... or so my dad says. You know how he is." He eyed Jaina, "Oh. Yeah. 'We'll be leaving in 10 minutes.' And then an hour later it's time to go." Then his eyes trailed to Jacen, "What about you, Jace? Do you still have to pack?" His eyes motioned to Jaina as he added the last part, "Or were you smart enough to pack lat night, unlike some people?" Jaina gasped and kicked Jag even harder under the table, causing him to chuckle. "If you will recall, Mr. Jagged Fel, SOMEBODY wanted to go out and grab something to eat. Then SOMEBODY wouldn't let me--- Jacen, be a good brother and kick this guy's--- Jacen?" Jacen broke out of a trance and looked straight into Jag's eyes, then snapped them over to Jaina, as he stood up. "I... I have to go get ready." With that, Jacen Solo stood up, absently leaving his tray on the table, and made his way out of the dining hall. Noting the sudden look of loss and confusion on Jacen's face, both Jag and Jaina stared at each other, dumbfounded. --- Hmm... I think that's all I'll post right now. Hehe. I'm sick of copying and pasting. But expect these fun things soon: an original character I have fun making insanly evil, some angst ( that's in every fanfiction, right? ) and lots of scary fun. Wahaha. Alright I'm going now. -----signature----- [ http://echuta.net/ - we're doomed! http://whatthefun.net/cosplay - my cosplay site! http://echuta.net/chivalry - my J/TK fanthings <3 http://echuta.net/board - forum insanity http://tenel-ka.livejournal.com - the eljay ]

	Bria: Thank you dear! Yeah; I like writing in J/J for some reason... writing the way they act around each other is fun. Master_Ponta: ^___^ Thank you!! That means my story won't get lonely. Tehehe~ EJ: It took me awhile to start up a new one... but I've had this idea in my head for awhile now. So I'm FINALLY acting upon it. And thank you for the comments! 'At Least Smile' was fun to write and this one is shaping up to be entertaining too! For me it'll just be a challenge to write a long story. (I'm so bad at long stories.) Anyways; here's a couple more parts before I head off to bed. ---- Jacen rifled through all of his drawers, finding suitable clothes to bring along to Hapes. They would be staying there for two standard weeks, long enough for the ceremonies and some added time off; which they all needed. His comlink beeped, "Jacen?" He picked it up and spoke into it, "Mom. Hey." "Your father's almost ready to go. He's putting his stuff in the Falcon right now." "Ha. It'll be at least another half an hour before we leave, knowing him," Jacen said, laughing out loud. He heard his mother chuckle, "I know. But come on. I'd like to get there before the ceremonies start. Aren't you excited about seeing everyone again? Tesar? Zekk? Tenel Ka?" A knot formed in his stomach as his mother recited the last name. "Of course I'm excited." "Then let's get a move on." "Done," Jacen set the comlink down and picked up his bag. --- Jacen threw his stuff down beside the bench on the Falcon and slid into the seat behind the dejarik board. Jaina came in moments after him, chucking her bag on the ground. "Alright Jasa! Family trip!" Jacen could hear the sarcasm dripping from his sister's voice. He laughed. "You okay? You sort of left in a daze this morning." Jacen nodded, "Fine. It was just that a few random thoughts managed to fester in my brain and I had to go meditate for a few minutes." "As long as you feel better," A smile was shot in his direction. He just looked at her, an expression of nothing. "Oh come on. It'll be fun on Hapes! We get to see everyone... No Ta'a Chume. Tenel Ka gets to boss everyone around. It's a gorgeous place." He let out a chuckle, much to Jaina's relief, and leaned his head back on the seat, "I'm taking a nap. Tell me when we get there." His sister smirked and shrugged her shoulders, "I guess that's a good idea." Han Solo, Leia Organa Solo and their twins, Jacen and Jaina Solo, were on their way to Hapes. Leia wanted just the Solo family to have some time together alone, since it had been years since they spent time to themselves. About halfway to their destination, Leia walked out of the cockpit and into the open lounge to check on her children, "Hey guys, I---" She saw them curled up, sound asleep. Jacen, seated cross-legged on the bench with his head back against the wall. And Jaina, lying down, with her head resting on her brother's leg. Everything was quiet, except for the soft sounds of the twins' breathing. Leia choked on her words and just stared. It was peaceful. She hadn't seen them together, this bloodless and calm since they were little. It made her incredibly happy and at the same time, deeply morose. She could just picture Anakin's slightly smaller form under the holo-board, snoring like his father, with Jaina's arm hanging over him, like a protective canopy. She smiled and turned away from the scene quietly, as tears welled up in her eyes. Entering back into the cockpit, her husband turned to look at her. "What are they up t--- what's wrong?" Leia shook her head and pointed back towards the lounging area, "I'm never letting anything happen to them." Han Solo slid out of his seat and walked back to check on the kids. Moments later, he reappeared beside Leia, with a small lopsided grin on his face, and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, "They're old enough to take care of themselves now. But if it makes you feel better, we'll always be here for them." The sight almost made Han choke up and cry also. But he wasn't about to tell Leia that. --- "Danni? What are you saying?!" Jacen yelled as loud as he could to the tall, blonde scientist. Her mouth was moving. But he heard nothing. She was standing in between Tahiri and Jaina, who were also yelling soundlessly. Danni was jamming her finger in the direction of Jacen, pointing to something behind him, and screaming about it. Jacen was never one to read lips, so he tried to turn around with that same slow-as-bacta feel. His heart stopped. The first thing he saw was the metal arm. Black. Shiny. Dripping with some sort of dark liquid. Next he saw her face. The same face he fell in love with. Framed with the same copper-red hair. Except it was contorted into a look of anger... a look of ferocity. After that, he saw the blood red light clash with his viridian. They were fighting. Fighting. Blood red and viridian. Dark side and light side. Tenel Ka and Jacen Solo. No... --- Jacen awoke with a start, jolting Jaina awake. "Sithspawn, Jacen!" Jaina said, after ramming her head into the underside of the dejarik board. "What the kriff are you trying to do?!" While rubbing her head, she aimed a suprisingly nasty scowl in his direction until she saw the look of shock on his face and the beads of sweat rolling down his temples. "What...?" "Jaya..." She was disturbed by the weakness and desperation seeping into his voice. "Jacen?" He just stared aimlessly, right through her, a glaze coating his dark brown eyes. "Jacen!?" Leia called up from the cockpit, "We're landing now guys. Fasten up." Jaina didn't even hear her, "Mom! Something's wrong with Jacen!" She watched as her brother's eyes rolled shut and his body slid off of the bench, collapsing to the cold floor of the Falcon. Thorugh the Force, she could feel mental pain radiating off of him and she didn't know to do. She didn't know how to help. She didn't know what was wrong. "Jaina, what are you back here yell-- Jacen!" Leia rushed to her son's body and fell to her knees beside him, opposite of Jaina. "Han!" Leia yelled as loud as she could. She knew the Falcon had landed already, one of it's few smooth landings. Han appeared in the doorway, saw the situation and then vanished again, to call down for help. A few passing moments. Han rushed out of the cockpit again, and over to his family, "The medics will be here any minute." "Jasa... what's wrong?" Jaina placed her hands on her brother's arm and closed her eyes. All they could do was wait. --- That's all for now! runs away -----signature----- [ http://echuta.net/ - we're doomed! http://whatthefun.net/cosplay - my cosplay site! http://echuta.net/chivalry - my J/TK fanthings <3 http://echuta.net/board - forum insanity http://tenel-ka.livejournal.com - the eljay ]
