    Hmmm...Megira sounds quite a bit like our own Mara. What every Skywalker needs: a woman who won't take no guff. ;) LOL I like how she talked of her Mother...I can't wait for Mara and her to meet. [face_laugh]

    I love Mara and Ben here--his horror at being in a "real adult relationship" reminds me of Chandler, on Friends. Only Chandler wasn't a player...anyway...

    I love this little story! Can't wait for more! :D

    Great as always! Hopefully Ben will finally wake up and realize that this relationship is different. It's time to grow up! Can't wait until the next chapter.

    I'm so loving this VL.

    I like your Mara. That's what she's probably like with a grown son.

    Poor Ben. Daddy can't protect him from Mommy. I feel sorry for any other children those two have, if any.

    And Meg? She's just too much. I like how she talks about her mother. [face_laugh]

    Can't wait to see if Ben breaks down and calls her. His swinging days are coming to an end I believe.

    Sorry I missed the last post, but this is getting really good. You're writing the characters perfectly, and it's a pretty unique idea to write a SW story about a bachelor finding someone. Great stuff, can't wait for more.

    If only guy-girl relationships weren't so darned confusing?

    The mutinous set to his mouth warned her that his Skywalker feathers had been ruffled and stubbornness more suited to a bantha was about to be displayed.

    :D Ain't that the truth?

    I love the interaction between Ben and Mara - she doesn't coddle him, but is direct and honest. Very Mara :)

    Waiting eargerly for more!

    Ah yes, even a Skywalker can't hold off growing up forever.

    It seems like ladies can't hold off Skywalkers forever either. :p

    I smiled all the way through this! I'm glad one of the Skywalker men was finally a ladies man--although now that's ending too. I love Mara getting onto Ben for his antics.

    Loved the Ben/Mara conversation. Poor Ben, learning that is what an adult relationship is like... :p Loved Megira's thoughts too, about her mother.

    [b]Chapter 6[/b]

    Ben knocked tentatively on the door, the sound so soft even he was not sure his knuckles had connected. Sighing with relief when there was no answer, he turned to leave.

    The door opened.

    Ben grimaced, but schooled his features into a pleasant smile before facing the door. His eyes widened when, instead of Megira?s lovely face, he saw the somewhat garishly made up face of an older woman. She had Megira?s dark hair ? perhaps [i]too[/i] dark to be natural ? but her eyes were a very light blue, appearing almost icy. They were disconcerting in the middle of her very tan face.

    Giving a polite nod of his head, Ben held out his hand. ?Good evening, ma?am. My name is Ben Skywalker and-?

    She had gone utterly still at the sight of him, but the moment he uttered his name her hands fluttered up to her throat and a simpering smile came to her face.

    ?Of course, Mr. Skywalker,? she said. ?Or should I say [i]Master[/i] Skywalker?? She actually batted her lashes at him.

    ?Uh, just mister, thanks,? he replied. ?Or actually, Ben, if you?d prefer,? he stammered, somewhat taken aback.

    She turned and opened the door wider. ?Won?t you come in?[i]Ben[/i]?? Then she giggled, sounding more like a love struck teenage girl than a middle-aged woman.

    Ben slipped past her, a feat made difficult by her refusal to move aside. ?Uh, is Megira here?? he asked, feeling just a bit trapped and desperate.

    A pleased smile stretched the painted lips. ?For you? Of course she is!? She began to lead the way inside.

    Ben studied Megira?s home carefully. The apartment was not large, but it was so inviting that one did not immediately notice how small it was. Chairs in a variety of warm colors were arranged in front of the fireplace in a way that encouraged conversation, and small, personal items were scattered casually throughout the room. It was obvious that Megira had made this small space home. It was [i]hers.[/i]

    ?Do you live here, too?? Ben asked, briefly sending up a prayer that she would say no.

    The woman shook her head, giving the casual furnishings a disdainful look. ?Oh no! I would have had my decorator come in ages ago and make this place livable!?

    Ben thought the place wonderfully livable, but held his tongue.

    ?Megira?? He prompted.

    Her laughter trilled out again and Ben resisted the urge to plug his ears.

    ?I?ll go get her,? she smiled. ?And then I?m sure you two love birds would rather be alone?? She winked meaningfully.

    Ben kept a polite smile plastered on his face.

    The moment the woman was out of view, he threw himself on the couch with a groan, covering his face with his hands. By all the gods, if that was Megira?s mother?.

    He heard a quiet chuckle and removed his hands.

    ?She?s sort of overwhelming, huh?? Megira asked, watching him closely.

    ?And she would be???

    Megira tilted her head. ?She would be my mother ? Chartrise La?Verdaan.? She said, with a touch of defiance in he

    What a mother. [face_laugh]

    That poor girl. I've got to feel so sorry for her.

    But then again His lips brushed hers and he felt a shudder run through her body. His own body answered and he pulled away before he let himself get carried away.=P~ I don't feel sorry for someone who gets this Ben.

    There's no need to tell you how great this writing is. I think I've that said already. And if you don't have a fan club started, I can get something going.

    Marvelous job VaderLVR64.

    Great update! I love this older Ben.

    ?But I say you decide what you let your life make you. That?s one thing I?ve always admired about Mara.?


    Brilliant--I'm glad she values Mara.

    ?You?ve got Darth Vader and I?ve got Chartrise.? She shrugged, biting her lip. ?I think we?re even.?


    Hey now, Megira, don't compare our Dark Lord to that woman!

    If you do PM's for this, I want one.

    ?Just remember that we all have our little family troubles,? she murmured. She leaned back, her eyes twinkling. ?You?ve got Darth Vader and I?ve got Chartrise.? She shrugged, biting her lip. ?I think we?re even.?

    [face_laugh] Priceless! I LOVE it!

    Ben and Megira are so sweet. Great job on this chapter. I'm loving this story--have I mentioned that? ;)

    Great post- I like how you made Megira's mother so heavy handed, and how hesitant Ben was around Megira until she told him about her brother. Brilliant job, can't wait for more.

    He lowered his lips slowly to hers, giving her plenty of time to move away.

    Ah, he bought me with that!
    But I think Megira should show a little compassion for her mother... In the end, she is what she is in part because of her.
