    hahahahaa, yes, I don't think that either one of them has a sense of design, though Mara grew up around a more posh lifestyle than poor Luke!

    Mara had to admit that 9/10ths of the reason she liked hiking up trails was Luke's "rear" view

    Lol. Those were great :D

    Thanks all.

    :)

    Week 15 prompts:

    aunt; daughter; sister; mother; wife.


    ~~~!!!!!!!!!!

    "I guess I'll never be an aunt." Leia sighed, swirling her glass of fruity wine.

    Winter sighed in commiseration.

    "Luke's not exactly fortunate in the romance department, is he." She stated.

    Leia rolled her eyes. "That's putting it mildly! Although, he could be."

    "Hmmm?"

    "If he and a certain someone would just 'wake up!' Han's words, not mine. Once he pointed out their attraction to one another, it was so obvious, so clear."

    "To everyone, apparently, but the two involved." Winter laughed.

    ****

    Jaina was the daughter of infamous meddlers (according to some), or famous heroes, according to still others.

    "I don't want to put that burden on my own children." She vowed.

    Not, to be honest and fair, that her parents had done that, at least not intentionally.

    It was merely a consequence of chaotic events and last-second rescues. :p [face_thinking]

    ****

    "Quit pestering your sister!"

    This was the Solos' constant refrain once Anakin came along.

    The two boys were continually ganging up on Jaina, more often as not she and her twin teasing their youngest sib.

    Three kids were definitely a handful and more! Any time it got suspiciously quiet -- oops!

    Whenever their parents got sort of wistful about having more, one or the other of them would provide the reality check, or the mischievous children would do so.

    Usually, their shenanigans involved dismantling a droid.

    Guess which one? [face_rofl]

    Although, Han was secretly thankful on those occasions. ;)


    **

    Mara gazed in wonder at the bouquets of flowers strewn around the room.

    She had never believed she would be a wife, let alone a mother. This celebration, a gift from her lady friends, was accompanied by much teasing and revelry.

    She wouldn't admit to anyone how much fun!!! it had been to "practice" making Skycrawlers ... Luke was insatiable in that respect.

    Mara had to admit, she wasn't far behind. [face_shhh] [face_laugh]

    Mara had a strong inkling their twins were conceived during one of those spontaneous captured moments between meetings.


    He was irresistible!!

    Prompts, week 16:



    assume misunderstand confuse deny admit


    __________

    "She confuses me at every turn." Luke fumed.

    "Who?" Wedge asked.

    "Mara Jade. I asked her out for drinks after the last meeting, and she begged off. She said she had to leave on a trading run, but I know for certain her itinerary wasn't so tight she couldn't spare half-an-hour."

    Wedge smirked. "You assume it's personal? Maybe she's just not the sociable type."

    Luke sighed. "We're friends, that's all. What's the big deal?"

    Wedge pondered the question.

    "Something tells me you'd like it to be more?" Wedge probed.

    ***

    "Don't misunderstand the intent." Luke answered hastily. "I like spending time with her, as a friend, like I would with any of my other friends."

    "Ha!!!" Wedge laughed outright. "None of your other friends are quite as stunning, though, are they?"

    Nor as mysterious and intriguing. Luke affirmed silently.

    Luke found himself thinking of Mara at the oddest moments, about her laugh, the way her jade eyes danced when she snarked, her red-gold curls as they fell around her shoulders.

    Hmmm. What could that be about? Luke asked himself. ;)

    He left Wedge's office, in a bewildered and bothered (and quite bewitched) muddle over Mara.

    ***

    Mara couldn't deny that she thought Luke the nicest, most compassionate person she'd ever known.

    But she would stop before ever admitting she found his blue eyes enthralling.

    Or his warmth and optimism endearing.

    No, she wouldn't ever admit that.

    She had almost accepted his drinks invitation, and now she wished she actually had done so.

    Before she could lose her nerve, she commed him and agreed to meet for drinks when she came back.

    Luke's answering smile lit up the comm screen.

    Prompts for week 17 are: "shield, helmet, cloak, transmitter, and weapon."

    ~~~~~~~

    Mara's chief weapon was her tongue. She lashed out with it and kept others at a distance.

    She didn't know whether she was pleased or not, most days, that it never quite drove Luke away, at least not for long.

    He would give her this look and either snark back or smile compassionately.

    Never patronizingly, she was grateful to admit.

    So, when Luke told her about the Sithly holocron and his desire to go to Byss to look into its origins, she let him have it.

    **

    Mara's mental shields were up during her tirade.

    "Are you crazy! Do you think you're invincible?"

    Luke was silent, speechless under her barrage.

    She glowered. "Well, let me break it to you, you're not. And if you succumb to the darkness, then what?"

    **

    Luke wished he could hide under the table. His Jedi cloak wasn't enough cover.

    He held up a hand. "I only said I was considering it."

    "Well, stop!" Mara fumed, eyes blazing.

    "I didn't know you cared." Luke said, in wonder and pleased surprise.

    **

    Now, he wished he had a helmet on as well, because Mara picked up a bowl of fruit as if to hurl it at him.

    she reconsidered, thankfully. That would have been a waste of perfectly delicious fruit and a nice bowl, Luke reflected.

    She smirked, instead. "Don't let it get to your head." Was all the comment she made.

    **

    Mara's transmitter went off.

    She hated to admit it, but Luke's capitulation had been too easy, so she was keeping tabs on his personal X-wing and she had Ghent keep up with any sudden reservations on transports headed toward Byss.

    Part of her hated being so suspicious.

    But it was outweighed by the cautious part.

    The part that cared, more than a little, about Luke's well-being.

    She was relieved he was merely heading towards Yavin 4.

    Well, I believe that in order to become a good Jedi Luke had to learn what is a dark side in the hard way by himself. So I like the idea in general. It's just Dark Empire is total OOC and well...stupid. I wish the story about Luke getting on the dark side was much more logical and interesting. There is so much space for imagination.

    Week 18 prompts are:

    talk whisper yell sing ignore

    Briannakin Jedi_Lover

    Thanks to ginchy and her "Never a Bride" for the wonderful context.

    =D=

    ~~~~~

    I'll just ignore him, then. Mara fumed. If he's going to never notice me when I show up ...

    Then as soon as Callista comes along, he's like a moonstruck nerf calf.

    Karrde noticed she was always grouchy after stopping to see Luke. He was mystified by this, but he had an idea of the cause.

    Certain feelings appeared to be unrequited.


    **

    "Have it your own way, then!" Luke yelled, uncharacteristically for him, at Callista.

    She stalked off in a huff.

    Even arguments with her weren't as ... satisfying? exciting? as they were with Mara.

    Where, now, had that thought come from?

    Luke frowned.

    Could it be ...

    Maybe?


    ***

    Luke could sing, quite well. Until Mara came into his life, he just hummed, however.

    No one to sing for, or to.

    She tried to give him this: What are you doing? look, but he could tell she was flattered when he sang sappy romantic ballads to her.

    Especially since it usually involved mutual showers somewhere in there, and the inevitable prequel and aftermath.

    ***

    Mara and Luke talked about all and sundry. They teased and snarked.

    Even when Mara was in a romantic mood, she showed it via snark.

    "How do I look?" Luke would ask, for an example.

    "You'll do in a pinch." She'd answer, as her eyes caressed.

    **

    The way he whispered her name sent chills up her spine. It happened the day she came back from a jaunt and found him sleeping. She'd been caught in the rain, and as she slid in beside him, she smiled in contentment, as his arm slid around her waist.

    "Hi, Mara." He murmured, half-awake.

    "Don't let me ..." Mara began.

    "And miss a second of your return, and my welcome-home?" Luke asked, and kissed her.
