    That Hutt imagery made me grin like a moron!

    Kyp is definitely going need some luck, and miss Jaina is going to have to get used to having him around. Hopefully she doesn't damage him too badly in the process..

    Loving this muchly. :D :D :D :D :D

    "Han, I'm not a save-a-damsel-in-distress type hero, I'm a blow-things-up type hero. I don't think I can do this."


    Yes, he is a blow-things-up type hero. We know this and love him for it.

    Excellent, Dana. As always!

    Here's where I get predictable and say that I loved it. The bit about Randa in an X-wing made me laugh. I mean, how would he fly it? Can't work the pedals if you don't have feet! LOL! Anyways, can't wait for more!!

    "Easy for you to say," Kyp muttered. "Han, I'm not a save-a-damsel-in-distress type hero, I'm a blow-things-up type hero. I don't think I can do this." Very nice, Dana. Liked that little bit. Poor Lyppie, she'll come around soon,right?

    Elfsheen - Ha! This is good! I like the little twist in the Balance Point story and bringing Kyp in!

    Thanks. :)


    Kyp_Jaina_Jag - Great idea for a story! I'm loving it so far!

    Thanks. :)

    "Yeah, well, guess what, your worshipfulness?
    Heehee! Always a good nickname to use!


    :D

    "You shot your mouth off, didn't you?"
    Of course he did!


    He's Kyp, of course he did. :D


    djcati - First a distraught young woman, now a glory-seeking Hutt.
    This was not a good day.

    haha, no, it's not, eh?
    Randa in an X-wing... heh heh...


    I'm still laughing over that. :D


    Good stuff~

    Thanks. :)

    and I had 3 hours sleep cause I didn't go to bed until 5... and had to get up at 8.30... -.o;

    Hopefully you'll stop doing that now. :p


    Connemara - Hahaha...can't wait for more of the "glory-seeking" Hutt...that's hilarious!

    Oh, Randa will be in this. [face_devil]

    And good luck to Kyp...looks like he's going to need it.

    Oh, yes. [face_devil]


    Abby - That Hutt imagery made me grin like a moron!

    I know, it's funny. :D

    Kyp is definitely going need some luck, and miss Jaina is going to have to get used to having him around. Hopefully she doesn't damage him too badly in the process..

    Kyppie make things go boom! :) He does it so well.

    Excellent, Dana. As always!

    :) Thank you.


    val solo - I'm with Saber...I love that line!

    I dunno, but I'm almost tempted to make him try!


    Fireyforce - This is great Dana!!! Then again all of your stories are awsome. Jaina is going to get her eyesight back isn't she? *pleads*

    Um . . . no, she's not. That's the whole purpose of the story. Sorry. :(

    C'mon, it's Kyp. She can't resist Kyppie for very long. :)


    Yun-Harla_loves_Jag - Wow. This story is great i am orignally a J/J but i do like some K/J so please write some more.

    Finally, an update! :)




    [b]--Chapter Four--[/b]

    Kyp's first obstacle to tackle was his own frustration. He forced himself to remember that Jaina's world had been turned upside down and inside out. She was facing permanent blindness--unless she opted, eventually, for implants, though she was highly opposed to those at the moment--and the end of her career as a fighter pilot, only a year after it had begun.

    Beside his own annoyance at Jaina's stubbornness, he had to get her to trust him. It got a little easier each day, but after two weeks, Kyp hadn't noticed any improvement in Jaina except that there was a little less stumbling in her walk and she didn't run into people quite so much. She still needed guidance and assistance. One of the female Ryn, who was more than happy to mother the young woman, had taken her in and helped her at night, when she needed privacy away from male eyes. Except for during those times, Kyp was stuck with her.

    He was trying not to think of himself as "stuck", but really, she was moody and awfully volatile. He'd lost count of the number of times she'd kicked or punched him. He was determined to help her. And, by the Force, he was going to do that even if it killed him.

    "Let go of me, Durron!"

    "Not until you agree not to hit me," Kyp said. He had Jaina's arms pinned behind her. "It's not going to help anything. And it's not going to get me to go away."

    "That's because you're a stubborn jerk who doesn't know when to give up!"

    Kyp's jaw clenched. "You know what, Jaina? You're right. I [i]am[/i] a stubborn jerk, and no, I don't know when to give up. Which you should be grateful for, because otherwise, I would be leaving you here to fend for yourself while your father and brother take care of everyone else here, not just a whiny, ungrateful brat!"

    A moment passed, and then Jaina slowly sagged. Kyp released her as she slumped to the ground, but it was a moment before he realised she was crying. Cursing himself, he sat down beside her and took her hands in his.

    "Jaina, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that."

    "Yes, you did," she said between sobs. "You hate me. Everyone hates me."

    Kyp sighed and pulled her on to his lap. She was getting smaller, it seemed. He'd have to make sure she was actually eating, with her depression. It was a little strange to hold her like a child.

    "I don't hate you, Jaina. This is difficult, I know, but I don't hate you. If I did, I wouldn't even be here." He smoothed her hair. "I know you're scared. You have every right to be. But you can't let this beat you. You're a Solo. You're strong. And you have the Force, Jaina. You can get through this. But you have to let me help you."

    Gradually, she relaxed and her sobs subsided. She pushed away and wiped at her face with the back of her hand. "Fine. Just . . . don't push me so much."

    "I won't push you any harder than I think you can handle, Jaina. But you need to tune your senses to adjust. Stumbling around and tripping over things isn't going to make you stronger, only get you hurt."

    Jaina sighed. "Like I said, stubborn."

    Kyp helped her to her feet. "Let's declare a truce. You let me know when you've had enough, and I won't push you any more. But you'll listen to me, trust me?"

    "I don't know about trust, but I'll listen."

    He laughed. "Okay. We'll work from there."

    ---------

    "Where are we going?"

    "You'll know in a minute." Kyp took Jaina's hand and led her behind him. He guided her to the centre of the dome and said, "All right. You stand right here."

    "Is this more sensing stuff?"

    "Yes. But it's different." He gave her hand a squeeze. "Close your eyes. I'm going to go a short distance away, and I want you to find me in the crowd."

    She snorted. "Kyp, you're like a really bright beacon. Of course I can find you."

    "Yes, but there are people walking around. I want you to get to me, without bumping into anyone."

    Jaina nodded. "I think I can do that."

    It wasn't as easy as she'd thought. While she could sense Kyp very well, she couldn't pick out individuals

    :D Dana...I sense another epic coming on...I really like the twist you've put into this, it *is* hard to try and trust someone else completely, and Jaina being a Solo it's twice as hard. Good Luck and great work so far, darlin...

    When shall we tell them?

    Of course Jaina trusts Kyp to protect her! It's Kyp and Jaina for crying out loud!

    Although the best line in this post:

    Jacen shook his head. "Personally, Kyp, I think you're insane."

    I laughed so hard... that's the perfect way to describe Jacen and Kyp interacting.

    I'm working on chapter 5, it's just slow-going.


    Babi_Tahiri - Great update! But you already know that because I already told you. happy Can't wait for more!

    I can't wait for more, either. I wana get to the mush!


    Abby - Yay yay, update!

    :)

    ...where we see Jaina finally giving in, just a little bit. He he he.

    She'll be giving in more as the story progresses, and so will he. They've both got a lot to learn, and a long ways to go.

    I had to giggle at Jacen's last comment about holding her hand as he left their tent happy

    Jacen's going to have some things to work with here, too, because Jaina isn't going to do half the things she did in "Balance Point".

    Can't wait for more, but then, you probably knew that.

    :) I want more, too.


    Jaina_Solo_Durron - grin Dana...I sense another epic coming on...I really like the twist you've put into this, it *is* hard to try and trust someone else completely, and Jaina being a Solo it's twice as hard. Good Luck and great work so far, darlin...

    I'm hoping this will be an epic. I need to work on it more, but "When The Tide Comes" is a monster-bunny right now.

    When shall we tell them?

    Tell them what?


    Daughterofflame - Oh, gosh. After the evening I just had, this was the icing on the cake! grin

    Glad you liked. :)


    Yun-Harla_loves_Jag - Good more soon

    Hopefully.


    SaberBlade - Of course Jaina trusts Kyp to protect her! It's Kyp and Jaina for crying out loud!

    LOL! Well, not in this she doesn't. Not quite yet. She's trusting him because she has no one else.

    Although the best line in this post:
    Jacen shook his head. "Personally, Kyp, I think you're insane."
    I laughed so hard... that's the perfect way to describe Jacen and Kyp interacting.


    Thanks, LOL! I loved that line when I wrote it. :)


    Deneveon - I'm amazed it took me this long to find this. Anyway, I love the premise of the story and how it's going so far.

    Thank you. :)

    More soon?

    I hope.


    Smuggler_Shidakis - Wow.
    Poor Jaina, all blind. But very whiny and ungrateful.


    Well, she's going through a very traumatic time right now. I think she has a right, at this stage, to be a little whiny and ungrateful. I mean, if you found out you were permanently blinded, how would you feel?

    Wonderful, wonderful, stubborn-jerkly Kyp. love

    :D Kyp is . . . *sigh* I wish I had one.

    I swear I am such a fangirl sometimes....

    LOL, me, too!
