    I just found this story and I have to say, I like where it's going :) For a while there I was wavering between Tenel Ka and Tahiri for Jacen, but I'm starting to lean toward Tahiri now....keep up the good work :)

    Okay, so it's a little late. :( Don't even bother trying to sue. All you'll get is a few pennies and my collection of SW books which you've probably all read anyway!

    Enjoy!

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

    He was following her--- again.

    It wasn?t that Tahiri could feel him approaching through the Force. No, it was simpler than that. She could hear his heavy footsteps as they padded up the corridor behind her. Sighing inwardly, she refused to stop, even when he called her name. Instead, she continued on into the dining hall wishing he?d just go away and leave her alone. For the past week he?d been practically stalking her. Every time she turned around, there he was? at meals, in the training room, even in the local library, a place she?d been using as a get away for the past few months. Life on the planet of Mon Calamari, the current capital of the Galactic Alliance, was too full of people. Studying in the library helped to balance out her life between the ruthless daily workouts she put herself through and the peaceful solitude she?d grown to crave ever since?

    Ever since Anakin had died.

    Increasing her pace, she managed to put more distance between herself and Jacen, enough so that he would have to push his way through several people to catch up with her in the food service line. Taking a tray, she hurriedly made her way down the line, taking fewer items than she normally would have. Curiosity got the best of her, and she couldn?t resist a quick glance to see if he was still in pursuit. Peering around the Mon Cal beside her, she was met by the smiling face of Jacen Solo five people down the line. He offered her a friendly little wave, and she snapped her gaze away with a jerk.

    She sighed again, annoyed at his undaunting persistence, yet strangely amused at the same time--- something she hadn?t felt in a long time. Surely, he had better things to do than baby-sit her, and it was clear that?s exactly what he was doing. Until he had returned, she had been able to stay under everyone else?s radar, making them believe she was well over Anakin?s passing. She had nearly convinced herself that she was okay, too, until Jacen showed up. He had some kind of second sense about her inner workings, and he was just enough like his younger brother to bring the memories flooding back, and with it, the pain.

    Quickly, she paid the cashier droid and proceeded to find a seat at an empty table in the large, open eating area. Glancing up at the transparent ceiling, she still felt queasy every time she came here. It didn?t seem natural for a girl from the dry, sandy planet of Tatooine to be eating under water. Luckly, most of the time she didn?t have to think about being submerged under the ocean, but here the ceiling of the dining hall was made of a transparisteel dome so that diners could enjoy the view of Mon Cal?s wide variety of marine life.

    With a shudder, she returned to the food on her plate.

    ?Credit for your thoughts,? Jacen offered as he slipped into the seat across from Tahiri. She glanced up to find the Jedi smiling warmly at her. It was amazing how grown up he looked now, she noted.

    ?No thoughts,? she replied and then stabbed a fork into something fishy and pink. Avoiding eye contact with him was a necessity. He was way too perceptive for her comfort.

    ?Oh, I don?t believe that,? he argued. ?Why, there?s steam coming out of your ears from all the brain activity happening inside your head.?

    Tahiri simply glowered at him. Did she dare tell him the steam was a result of the anger at being followed around all the time?

    ?Now, that?s not a very happy face, Tahiri. Did I say the wrong thing?? Jacen was trying the innocent act she?d seen his father try so often on his mother? and it was extremely annoying. She sat her fork down and took a deep breath.

    ?Look , Jacen,? she began, ?I know what you?re doing, and really, you don?t have to bother.?

    His smile was gone, a more serious expression taking its place, and suddenly she sensed waves of st

    Thanks, OWLC! :) And somebody's gotta whip her into shape so that she's not the whiny, bitter kid she's been since SbS. So, it's up to our man Jacen to save the day. Only he doesn't know what he's in for! And I was thinking about your Tenel Ka question from a few days ago, and she just might have to make a little guest appearance some time in the future! ;)

    I just wish they had kept the Tahiri from the EL duology. She did not strike me as real whiny. DW turned her back the other way.

    Hey a Tenel Ka sighting. Throw in Danni and we could have a battle royal for jacen's affections.

    Val, I'm so glad you posted! I love this story! :D I really like Tahiri and Jacen together. I loved Anakin and Tahiri, but since they can't be together, this is the pairing I support. Danni's OK, but Jacen is a little boring so he needs Tahiri to keep him on his toes. Don't even get me started on Tenel Ka, she puts me right to sleep! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ :p Hope you post the next chapter very soon! ;)

    Can you believe it? Two posts in one day??? Yeah, well, don't get too used to it. ;)

    Enjoy!
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~````

    The next few days passed by and Tahiri saw no trace of Jacen anywhere. However, instead of feeling relieved, she was surprised to feel a little miffed. Deciding he must not have been as concerned about her as he implied, Tahiri slunk back into her usual routine. After a restless night?s sleep, she?d get up early, shower, go to the training room and push herself past the point of all sensibility, clean up, grab some breakfast and then head to the library for some peace and quiet. Most evenings she?d spend alone in her room or sometimes strolling around the city.

    One afternoon after she returned from the library, a message was waiting for her from Jaina Solo. She wanted to get together for dinner and just catch up since she had been gone on a mission for several days with Twin Suns Squadron. Tahiri accepted. The company would be nice for a change, and besides? she had to eat anyway.

    They met in a small café Jaina had heard about from another pilot, and Tahiri was pleased to find the place did not serve any seafood whatsoever.

    ?If I have to eat one more piece of fish, I think I?ll throw up!? she exclaimed as she and Jaina were led to a small table.

    ?Yeah, I know what you mean. I?m dying to have a good nerf steak, and this place is supposed to have the best.?

    They settled in and took a look at the menu. In just a few moments, the waiter returned to take their order and bring them drinks. Tahiri realized as she sipped her beverage that Jaina was staring at her.

    Jaina plopped her elbows on the table and asked bluntly, ?Are you okay??

    A bit taken aback, it took Tahiri a few seconds to answer. ?I?m?I?m fine.?

    Jaina scrutinized the younger girl?s response, trying to get a good read on her. ?Are you sure??

    ?Jaina, I?m fine, really. Why--- why do you ask??

    Jaina sighed and leaned back in her chair shaking her head. ?I don?t know. It?s just that Jacen has it in his head that you might not be? you know? over Anakin.?

    Tahiri froze and her heart lodged instantly in her throat. When would it stop hurting so badly every time she heard that name?

    ?I?m sorry, Tahiri,? Jaina offered. ?I didn?t mean to upset you, which I?ve apparently done a bang up job of. Jacen?s just worried about you. You?re almost like a sister to us, you know, and we just want you to be okay.? Jaina took Tahiri?s silence as the end of that conversation and decided to start a new one. ?All right. Enough of that. Do you want to hear about my last mission??

    Tahiri nodded her head and smiled weakly encouraging Jaina to continue, which she eagerly did. After a few minutes of Jaina?s story, Tahiri tuned her out and began thinking about what Jaina had said about Jacen. Why was he so concerned about her? Why couldn?t he just leave her alone like everyone else had done? He was sticking his nose where it didn?t belong, and now it seemed he was bringing Jaina into it as well. Would he never be out of her life?

    ?? and then Jag and I shot down the whole squadron of coralskippers and?? Jaina continued to ramble, and Tahiri continued to nod every once in a while. But if the truth were told, she couldn?t wait to get back to her room away from other people.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

    Dinner was not as good as she had hoped. Perhaps it was the pre-meal conversation that had embittered the taste. The rest of the night was a bit strained, at least on Tahiri?s end. She wasn?t sure if Jaina even sensed her discomfort or not, she was so absorbed in sharing the latest relationship news between herself and Jagged Fel. Tahiri thought he was a little dry and stuffy, but he seemed to make Jaina happy which was all that really mattered she supposed.

    She turned out her lights and crawled into bed, burrowing under the covers. After growing up on a desert planet with two suns, every other place seemed t
