Hola mi amigos! I think that's correct Spanish but I wouldn't know not being in the Spanish class. But anyway, I decided to post a story that I wrote last year on here. What took me so long? Laziness, pure and absolute laziness. But I found it the other day and I started to add to it so I am gonna post it in here cause I like where this one is going. It's about Jacen and Tenel Ka. I don't think they got the full on love connection that they were obviously destined for. But it's basically self explanatory. The first chapters were done last year so they may seem a little crude as my writing style has changed a tad. But I like it and I think it's good and I would bet my left pinky toe that you'll enjoy it too. Well, enough of my babblings. On with the story. O wait! I guess I should note that I don't own the characters that I did not invent and I own the one(s) that I did so there ya go.
Chapter 1
Tenel Ka stood at the very top of the Great Pyramid. She gazed at the scenery around her, listening sharply to all sounds and inhaling the rich smell of jungle. It truly was a beautiful morning. The newly risen sun crew the dew off of the plants up into a muggy haze. She turned around to see her friend, Jacen Solo, just pulling himself up onto the top block.
"Don't tell me you are already tired, Jacen my friend," she said, extending he single hand to help him stand. "The morning is fresh and we have much to accomplish."
"I don't think I'll be ready for any more accomplishing today," he said, huffing and puffing with his hands on his hips.
"We can rest here for a while but then we must continue."
"But why?"
"Do not whine, Jacen. It is not very admirable." She looked at him sternly. "Besides, you asked to accompany me on my morning exercises."
"Yah, I guess you're right. Now would you just sit down for a moment?" He patted the stone next to him. She looked down to see the lopsided grin that was his trademark. She almost had to stop herself from smiling back. She reluctantly sat next to him.
"Isn't the jungle amazing?" he asked, gazing at the green landscape.
"It is indeed amazing and very beautiful," she replied.
"Hmmm, beautiful," Jacen mumbled dreamily. He could not help but gaze at her. Tenel Ka turned to him and he quickly turned away. "Well," he said as he stood. "We'd better get a move on if we want to get a run in before morning meal."
"Do not worry, Jacen my friend. I have packed us a breakfast in my bag."
"You have food?" he eagerly asked.
"I have left my bag at the bottom of the pyramid. And we must not eat until we have finished." Jacen's shoulders fell. "I did not think you would want to swim with a full stomach."
"We're going swimming?" he asked excitedly.
A light flickered in Tenel Ka's eyes. "We will only if you can keep up with me on the run." She flashed him a rare smile and began to hurry down the pyramid's tiers.
"Hey! No fair!" he called as he hurried to catch up.

Jaina walked slowly down the stone corridor of the academy. She contemplated why her uncle, Master Skywalker, had summoned her. She knew there was nothing severely wrong at home. She would have sensed that. But she was doubting her sensitivity, hoping that the rest of her family was safe. She stopped at the large wooden door at the end of the hall. Jaina raised her hand to knock.
"Jaina! I'm glad you could come! Please enter!" Luke called from inside.
Jaina pushed the door open and walked into the large room. It was sparingly decorated, a simple bed and dresser. The only sign of who lived in the quarters were the few finger paintings Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin had made for him many years ago. The Jedi master was leaning over a large duffel bag on the floor, checking it's contents. "You wished to see me, Uncle Luke?"
"I am going away from Yavin 4 for a short time. One of my first students is beginning his own academy on Dantooine and I wish to be present for the opening." He stood to face her, a slight smile on the corners of his lips.
"That's wonderful! Another academy…" She pondered the thought of another Jedi academy.
"Yes, it's very exciting for everyone. However, the reason I wanted to speak with you is I needed to ask a favor."
"Just ask and I would be more than happy to do it."
"Durring my absence, the annual social will take place. Would you be willing to over see this event, be sure everything goes smoothly?"
"I would be honored."
"Wonderful. I can always count on you Jaina. You're so helpful. Now would you mind helping me down to my ship?" He smiled and put his arm around her shoulder. They walked out the door to the waiting craft.
