    Prompts are: dictate rebel rebirth aftermath conquer

    --------

    As a Rebel, Luke had seen a lot and done even more. He had had an encounter with a Zeltron once, and she had drunk him under the table, so he wasn't conscious to enjoy her other skills.

    The Rogues had teased him about both facets for nigh on a month.

    He had rolled his eyes and ignored their gibes.

    Would they ever grow up?

    That was an obvious question.

    --

    The Warlords left in the wake of the fallen Empire scrambled to conquer and over-run the New Republic's terrritories.

    What with their bickering among themselves, it was easier, at times, just to let them take one another out.

    It helped preserve the over-taxed NR military resources, by the way.

    That was a welcome consequence.
    --

    In the aftermath of the Empire's fall, Mara was in a bewildered muddle.

    She had dreams of the last fateful duel between the Emperor, Vader, and Skywalker.

    If those dreams weren't bad enough, she soon started having other ones.

    These were baffling, to say the least.

    They were of herself with children with red-gold hair and blue eyes, and blonde hair and green eyes.

    Weirdest of all was the image she caught of the father/her spouse to be.

    He looked an awful lot like Skywalker.

    Mara would awaken from these dreams in a really confused state, not knowing whether to be happy, grumpy, or what!!

    They tied her tummy in knots, to be sure.

    ---

    No external agency would overly influence the future of the Jedi Order after its rebirth, least of all the Senate or power-hungry politicians with narrow visions.

    Kyp Durron and Corran Horn, if they agreed on nothing else, agreed on that.

    "We need to be an adjunct to the government, a helping supplement, not an extension." Corran mused.

    "Yes, our goals are not theirs, and won't be the majority of times." Kyp replied. "And I, for one, do not want to have my hands tied by their indeicision and wrangling."

    "I hope Luke doesn't get sucked into that trap."

    "So do I! Mara won't let him though. She has more than her fair share of sense."

    ---

    Mara, when she heard of this conversation, agreed with it in full measure.

    "But we can influence the government, or at least try to help dictate whom the next Chief of State will be."

    "I heard Daala is running."

    "Oh, Force preserve us! She couldn't rule over puddle-wogs in a pond, much less give the GA any true leadership and sensible direction." Mara scoffed.

    Luke laughed. "At least that much hasn't changed."

    "Nor will it."

    "Speaking of change, how is Ben adjusting to having Kirana as his Master?"

    "He loves it! Much better than Jacen or our first recommendation ..."

    "Yes, Tionne was a bit much."

    LOL! I think somebody is reading my Journal. [face_laugh] Or else we think alike. I like the vision of the future...married with kids. That has to throw Mara for a loop. Nicely done!

    Bahahahaha. Tionne was supposed to be Ben's master. Lol. I like the woman, but that would be cruel punishment for any teenage boy.

    Great tidbits.

    Week 20: father, son, husband, brother, teacher.

    -----------

    Luke had never had the chance to be a brother until later in life, and he didn't know if he was doing it properly or not.

    He had felt a connection to Leia the first instant he saw her.

    Then as time went on, he found in Han a brother, a true friend, a pal to hang around with.

    It was a wonderful experience, and a gift he hadn't expected or looked for.

    Through all the crises, this bond of family-by-choice and blood held them together with loyalty and affection.

    ***

    Luke felt like a son to Beru, but he didn't know if Owen thought of him that way, to be honest.

    Luke vowed that if ever he had children, he would be a firm disciplinarian but also give praise and warmth and a sense of playfulness.

    It was a promise he kept.

    **

    Ben and his siblings thought of Luke as a great father, and wanted very much to please him.

    They knew better than to play one parent against the other. One time was all it took.

    Luke and Mara were a unified team in that, as in all else.

    Luke was a playful dad, loving and mischievous.

    (Mara was that way also, but she was stricter when the need arose.)

    **

    Mara was a great teacher, Luke thought. She taught him as much about life as he'd ever learned about it from any one else.

    She taught him about fortitude and courage, resilience and brutal honesty.

    She also taught him how to be his true self: passionate, caring, and brave.

    She took his best qualities and made them better. [face_love]

    **

    As a husband, Luke was all Mara could have longed for, if she had ever done so, no matter how fleetingly.

    He was tender and insatiable.

    His eyes caressed her and their bond sang with his admiration and love.

    During dull, interminable meetings, they'd snark back and forth across it.

    Luke was her other-half, and she was his.

    It was a blessing, a divinely bestowed one. :)
