Maelstrom j/j/k Final Post, 11/12 Sequel link up!

If it was my fault you were up late, I am soooooooo sorry! *feels guilty because if she hadn't been bothering Mandie the past few days, Mandie would have gotten work done and not have been deprived of sleep*

~Inyri

 

Hehehe! No, it wasn't you. You were in bed way before I was. No worries. Plus, I had fun staying up. It just meant I needed to sleep this morning.

~Mandie

 

Up Up! Double post, I know. Oh well>

~Mandie

 

True, I tend to forget that when it's two oclock here, it's only 11 where you are.

ARGH! I just realized that I need a book that's in the library of the university, and I have to go, get in my car, and drive out there. And it's rainy and cold.

I know, I need to stop feeling sorry for myself, suck it up, and deal.

~Inyri

 

This is one of the happiest and saddest moments of my life, which is sad in and of itself. There are so many people here on the boards that have read and upped, and I want to say thank you to you all, but especially to a few people.

All the Goldfish I don't know what I would do without you. Thank you so much.

QuiGonKat and the Rabid Emperor of Zen, thank you for putting up with my mad writing in class, at lunch and every spare moment I have. I know that without your hysterical ideas that I would never ever have been able to get this story finished.

And my Mom, who read every post of this story, and gave me more ideas than I could think of. You're the best.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, the final post for Maelstrom.

Epilogue


Jag raced through the halls, nearly knocking down fellow officers in his rush, causing others to look in amazement at the normally calm young man flying past them.

"What was that about?" Anja asked as Jag rushed by.

Kyp grinned. "Jaina's back."

Jaina had only taken two steps out of the ship when she was suddenly picked up and exuberantly twirled around in circles, the only thing not spinning, Jagged Fel's happy face.

He finally put her down and she found herself being thoroughly kissed. Laughing, she pulled back. "Glad you missed me!"

"Was there ever any doubt in your mind?" he said, a rare grin spreading across his face, leaning down to kiss her again.

They finally broke apart, and Jaina took his hand in hers, placing it on her stomach. She smiled at the sudden expression of wonder that swept over his face. "Jaina-" he couldn't go on, unable to put his emotions into words.

"I know," she said, hugging him. "I'm so glad I'm home!"

***

Wedge Antilles watched his nephew and his wife eat dinner together in the mess. There was more talking than eating going on.

Iella smiled at her husband as she pulled him out of his chair to leave. "Aren't they sweet together?"

Wedge grinned as they left. "Even Soontir was glad to see her. Gave her a hug and everything. I think it's the most demonstrative I've ever seen him towards anyone that wasn't my sister."

"That's because he's had time to one, think about her and two, see how unhappy Jag was without her," Iella said, entering the office.

"I know he was unhappy, but at least Jaina was safe," Wedge said. "She was supposed to be."

"At least we got the Chiss into the war, now," Iella said.

Wedge saw the look on her face when she realized what she'd said, and heard the slight hesitation before she added the word now to take the meaning out of her statement, something no one would have noticed but him. "What do you mean, Iella?"

"Nothing," she said innocently. "It's a shame they were attacked, but at least they've come into the war."

"Iella, what did you do?"

"Nothing," she said. "Why would you think-"

"Iella!" Wedge bellowed. She stopped mid-sentence in shock. All of the years they'd been married, Wedge had never once raised his voice to her or the girls. "You can't fool me. What did you do?"

"It's Intelligence business. I can't say."

"And here on Almania, I am your superior officer, Starfighter Command and Intelligence not withstanding. Don't make me make it an order, Iella."

Iella stared at her husband's unyielding face, and knew she had no choice. Sitting down, she began to explain one of the most shameful things she'd ever done, and watched her husband's face grow graver with each word as she outlined what she and Jaina Fel had done.

"What are you going to do?" she asked when she was finished.

The betrayed look on his face hurt her as he spoke. "I don't know."

To Be Continued in: The Eye of the Storm

Ooh, sequel must be up soon, I demand this....

 

Its over! Wedge is really mad at Iella This is so upsetting. I am very glad ther is a sequal though. Otherwise I would cry for years to come. All the J/J stuff was sooooo cute. Ahhhh, I can't even express. It was adorable. Don't let Jag get too mad. Please! Thant was a wonderful ending Rogue. Can't wait for the sequal.

~Mandie

 

I can't believe it's over! I can't believe it just ended with all that hanging over us. *mutters "I knew Rogue would end with a cliffie" to herself*

My cliffhanger obsession done now, I can honestly say, Rogue, that this was absolutely wonderful. I loved Wedge. Wedge, what are you going to do? You can't turn in your own wife, can you? And the scene with Jaina and Jag was so cute.

*Brings in cheetos and other fun snacks to Rogue's thread to throw her a party*

*gives Rogue AOTC DVD to thank her for wonderful post*

I can't believe that it's over.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SEQUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!

~Inyri

 

hawkbat rubs her hands together in glee.

What a set up for the sequel! Well done!

My Wedge Antilles! Yelling at Iella! Oh, it's bad, but it's good!

I really thought that Jaina and Iella had gotten away with the whole thing. Then Iella lets the cat out of the bag. What, is she losing her touch? General Cracken, her mentor, would be ashamed!

Wedge is too honourable to let this pass. Oh, my something's going to hit the fan in the sequel. I can't wait.

The Jaina/Jag reunion was very nice too. But it's just a counterpoint to the blowup that's bound to come when Jag finds out what Jaina did. Oh, there's some heartache ahead!

Well written! Congratulations on winding up this part of the story with a bang!

hawkbat

 

Mandie realizes finally why the word sequal never looked quite right. As I so often do, I will plead a B.S. for that one.

Yes, Rogue, we would like a sequel

~Mandie
