~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Bedtime Story

"I don't wanna! Pwese can I stay up? Pwetty Pwese?" Cherith Fel pleaded with her parents. Her pale green eyes where huge as she gave her parents the best puppy dog face she could muster.

Jaina Solo Fel smiled at her three year old daughter?s expression. "No. It's time for bed."

Cherith's eyes immediately left Jaina and rested on Jag. "Can I daddy?"

"You heard your mother." He said.

Cherith put out her lower lip and folded her short arms over her chest defiantly. At the look on her parent's face she sighed in defeat. "Okay. But can you guys read me a stowy?"

"That I can do."

***
"The little lost Bantha Cub-" Jaina started to read after Cherith was ready for bed.

"Not, the bantha cub" Cherith interrupted

"You want a different story?" Jag asked hopefully.

She shook her head yes. Sending her ebony curls flying. ?I?d like a new stowy. Somethin' that you make up. Pwese?"

"You want us to make up a story?" Jaina asked.

"Let?s tell one before she decides she wants to hear the Bantha Cub again." Jag said hurriedly.

"Easier said then done." Jaina replied.? But since you're in such a hurry to get away from the Bantha Cub, maybe you can start."

"Sure, easy, no problem." Jag said. His pale green eyes flicked over their daughters bedroom for inspiration. Nothing hit. He'd just start it the way the best stories did. "A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away."

"This is going to be good." Jaina said smugly. Glad she didn't have to help.

Jag glared, but continued. ?There was a brave Princess. She was the daughter of a powerful, evil sorceress and a beautiful Queen. So she was both powerful, and fair. She ruled her kingdom with a strong hand. The people where happy. Soon the Princess became Queen when she married a scruffy pirate-"

"-I thought pirates where bed?" Cherith looked surprised. "Auntie Tenel Kay is always complaining' about space pirates in Hap-Hap."

"This was a good pirate."

"Was he good 'cause he loved the Queen?" Cherith asked.

"Yes sweetheart." Jaina said.

Jag had a different answer. "Or maybe it was because a certain Imperial was always beating him."
Jaina's eyes narrowed. "My dad could beat your dad any day." She whispered back.

"Only if he wasn't drunk."

Jaina's eyes stormed over, and Cherith sighed impatiently. "I'm still here."

Jaina stifled her glare, and turned back to their daughter. ?Soon the Evil Sorcerer's followers were back, and they wanted revenge on the good queen's kingdom. They called themselves the Empire."

"Isn't Grandpa Sooni an Imperial?" Cherith asked.

"Yes. He's a loser." Jaina said.

"At least he isn't a pirate." Jag mumbled. "Besides, he's a former Imperial."

"Whatever you say dear." Jaina patted his shoulder comfortingly.

"Can you tell more of the story?" Cherith asked.

"Sure. During the many battles with the Empire, The Queen and the Pirate had twins-"

"Like you and Uncle Jac-Jac." Cherith exclaimed.

"Yep, like me and uncle Jacen."

Jag smiled. ?My turn to tell some more. After the spoiled twins where born, the rebels miraculously beat-"

Jaina interrupted. "You mean after the perfect twins where born, the Queen's Kingdom easily beat the insane-art-obsessed-totally-weird-red-eyed-Imperial-warlord-"

"-After the rebels cheated to beat the talented-"

"-We did not cheat!" Jaina exclaimed. ?You?re just jealous that we beat your precious Chiss idol."

"If Ruhk wasn't suddenly 'inspired' to stab Thrawn in the back, the whole rebellion would have fallen." J

First Fic?!? Wow! Calling the Vong "Dragon People" was way cool. Cherith Fel sounds adorable. reminds me of my young cousin Sophie at that age. Summing up the entire saga was quite well done and ambitious! Oh, the first time you see one of your works up is amazing. I know, I've just begun my first fic, "Winds of Change," and the excitement is priceless. An excellent first impression. I'd like to see more of these short and sweet ones. I'd also like to see more of young Cherith.

Wow. Thanks for the glowing review.

Your right there is nothing like putting a story up for the first time. Seeing your name on the screen is so sureal. Sometimes I want someone to just pinch me and wake me up. Then to have people review and say your wrong, it dosn't suck. It's a great feeling.

Hopefully you'll see more of Cherith soon. I just need to be inspired.


So again, thanks for reading everyone!

 

UP!

 

Wow. I got another reader.

I liked how the made up story was of Jania's parents. Jaina's eyes stormed over, and Cherith sighed impatiently. "I'm still here."

I really enjoy al the snide little comments the adults made... poor little Cherith. LOL 'That stinks." Cherith said. "I think I'll just be little forever. So I don't have to do stuff like that." Now there she has the right idea!


This had been your first fic? Very well written and I loved the originality of it. Nice job!

I've gotten that alot about the adults. That's probably one of my favorite parts also. Thanks for the nice remarks!
