JEDI LOVE STORIES
                              By:Michelle Gordon

Jacen sat on a boulder and watched Tenel Ka swim her mourning laps.He had been sitting there for
the last half hour.He couldn't help thinking how beautiful she was.He loved trying to make her smile
and loved having her company.Jacen looked up breaking his train of thought. 

"Hey Jacen,"Tenel Ka yelled to him,"would you like to walk with me back to the temple.I need to
practice with my lightsaber." 

"Sure,"Jacen said,"can I practice with you." 

"Yes,of course." 

As they walked Jacen couldn't help but stare at her as she wrung the water out of her hair. 

When they got back to the academy Tionne told them everyone was at the landing platform.When
Tenel Ka asked who was coming she said she didn't know.They exchanged looks and then ran to
the platform. 

Jacen saw Jaina,Zekk,Lowie,Lusa,Raynar,Raaba,and Master Skywalker standing and watching a
ship that Jacen didn't recognize starting their landing cycle. 

"Hey Jaina,"he said as he walked up to her,"who's in the ship?" 

"I don't know."she exclaimed."We got a message that they had a surprise and wanted to stop by." 

The ship finally landed and everyone was itching to see who would walk out.Especially Luke. 

The hatch swung down and out walked Kyp Durron and a women whom none of them knew on his
arm. 

Luke walked up and said,"Kyp how are you?It's been years.Who is your guest?" 

"Hello,It's good to see you too!This is Darceia,my wife."he told him. 

"It's nice to meet you Darceia,"he shook her hand. 

"Nice to meet you too!" 

Luke turned to the young Jedi's and said,"Jacen,Jaina you know Kyp". 

"Yes, hello Kyp"Jaina said. 

"Hello."Jacen said. 

"Kyp,Darceia,this is Zekk,Raaba,Lowie,Raynar,Lusa,and Tenel Ka," Jacen said pointing to each of
them. 

"Hey guys!"Kyp exclaimed 

There was a chorus of hellos. 

******************************************************************** 

They sat on an open field,where they planned to get to know each other better. 

"So Darceia,tell us a little about yourself.Are you a Jedi?" Luke asked. 

"Yes I am.I lived on Garion where I met a women who knew a little about the force and taught me
as much as she knew and Kyp taught me the rest that a Jedi needs to become a Jedi Knight." 

"What about your parents?"Luke asked. 

Darceia paused for a minute the said,"The Empire killed my parents, because they were cargo
carriers and they messed up the Emperors important shipment.They recruited my brother to a
stormtrooper academy. I haven't seen him since.I was at my aunt's at the time." 

"I'm sorry,"Luke said to her. 

"Don't be.It's not your fault." 

"So how was the wedding?"Jaina asked. 

"We know you wondering why you weren't invited but we kind of eloped.We didn't want a huge
wedding."Kyp explained. 

"Did you hear that Lando got married to Tendra last month?" Tenel Ka asked.

"No I didn't.I ought to congratulate him."Kyp said. 

"Yep he's going to be a dad too!"Jaina said. 

"Really,so am I,"Kyp said beaming. 

There was a chorus of congratulations to the both of them. 

********************************************************************* 

"It's...good...to..see Kyp...,"said Jacen panting as he blocked Tenel Ka's thurst of her light saber. 

"This is a....fact,"said Tenel Ka as she parried and blocked Jacen's moves. 

They finished up and sat down on the grass.Jacen saw Jaina and Zekk sitting and talking around the
corner of the temple.He looked back at Tenel Ka only yo find her staring at him.She looked away
amediately. Jacen lifted her chin up and looked at her beautiful eyes.Neither could say anything they
just kept staring at each other.Finally Jacen spoke. 

"I don't know how to say this Tenel but I have feelings for you." 

"I know I feel the same way." 

Jacen just kept staring at her.She finally looked at him.He lifted her chin and kissed her mouth.She
looked away speechless.He touched her hair softly. 

"Please say something,"he asked. 

She turned and looked at him seriously and said,"I love you". 

It was Jacen's turn to be speechless.Finally he said,"I love you too!" 

********************************************************************* 

"I'm glad you came to visit Jaina after all these years.It's been nice talking to you.You really
understand me."Raynar said to Lusa. 

"It's been nice talking to you too!It's been nice to finally start training again.I stopped after the
Hethrir incident."she said. 

"I know," he said. 

They were at Raynar's favorite waterfall.They decided to take a walk after talking to Kyp and
Darceia.They sat and watched the *fish* jump. 

"I've noticed that you haven't been hanging out with the others a lot lately,"Lusa said. 

"I don't feel like I fit in.It's just they've always have done everything together and I just feel like I'm
intruding."said Raynar. 

"That's not true." 

"Thats easy for you to say you've known the twins for awhile" 

"Yes,but I haven't been around for years." 

"Point,but I wasn't very nice a while ago." 

"Maybe,but as you said that was a while ago." 

"As I said before you really understand me,"Raynar said with a smile. 

********************************************************************* 

Jaina and Zekk had been looking at the stars so long that Jaina lost track of time. 

"The stars are really beautiful,"she told Zekk. 

"So are you," said Zekk. 

Jaina started blushing furiously. 

"You know we've been friends for a long time and I've always been able to tell you anything, but
this is hard.Oh well,here goes.Jaina,I love you.Your beautiful,sweet, and fun to be with."Zekk said
slowly 

"I love you too! I hate when you leave." she said still blushing. 

"You know you'll be graduating in a couple of days you can start coming with me." 

"Really,I'd love to." 

"Great,I'd love to see your beautiful face every day."Zekk said. 

Jaina started blushing again. 

Zekk touched her hair lightly. 

She smiled broadly at him. 

Zekk reached over and kissed her lightly.He thought she was offended, but he was proved wrong
when she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back passionatly.

********************************************************************** 

Darceia looked at her husbend with a smile. He had made a romantic dinner for the two of them. 

"This is so nice,"she said still smiling,"I love you so much." 

"I love you too!,"he replied. 

They sat at a little round table he had set up in their room. He put 2 single candles on the sides of
the table and one red *rose* in a small vase in the middle. On the table there was a lace tablecloth.
He had made a dinner from Hapes (which took a while) for him and his wife. 

"I can't believe you went through all this,"said Darceia. 

"I'd do anything for you!"Kyp said with a smile. 

"Aw thats so sweet,"Darceia said,"what would I do without you." 

"Okay,my dear please have a seat and I'll bring out your dinner." Kyp said bringing her to her seat
and sitting her down gently. 

He brought out their meal and placed one in front of her. 

"This looks great!"she told him. 

"I made it myself!No processor!"he said enthusiastically. 

"Aw that is very very sweet.I love you so much."she said as she leaned over and kissed him with
passion. 

"So did you find out about the baby?"he asked. 

"Yes,I found out this morning,"she said slyly,"do you really want to know...!" 

"Yes..Yes.."he said hopping in his chair like a child. 

"Well it's a......girl!!"she said excitedly. 

"All right,I would've been happy either way.This is great!" 

"What should we name her." 

"I really don't want to offend you but I love your mothers name and wondered if we can name her
after you mother.I know I didn't know her but you told me stories and she seemed wonderful." 

Darceia was speechless.She knew he meant well.She loved the idea.It was a sweet gesture.She told
him so by jumping up and kissing him. 

"So little girl,"Kyp said touching Darceia's stomach,"it's decided your name will be.... Vega." 

All Darceia could do is kiss her husband. 

********************************************************************* 

Lowie was glad he finally found Raaba.They had returned to Kashyyyak to anounce that she was
okay.Everyone was happy she was alive. He was glad that Raaba was back.He missed her so
much.Now they were walking together in the jungle brush.The animals were making there night
sounds.They had been climbing and jumping trees for hours.Now they were walking back to the
temple. 

Lowie said to her. 

Lowie turned and faced her and said, 

Raaba just stood there for a while finally she said 

Lowie roared in happiness.They broke into a run for the temple to tell the others.He couldn't believe
she said yes!They would have a traditional wookie wedding on Kashyyyak. 

When they got there evryone was in the audiance chamber.They were listening to Tionne sing.Jacen
and Tenel Ka were on the floor Jacen had his arm around Tenel Ka's waist.Jaina and Zekk were
sitting in the chair.Jaina had her head on Zekk's shoulder. Raynar and Lusa were listening to Tionne
holding hands.Darceia and Kyp were kissing sitting on the floor leaning against the chairs. 

When Tionne finished they all looked up to see Lowie and Raaba. 

Lowie roared then remembered he forgot to turn Em Teede on.He turned him on then started again.

[Master Lowbacca would like to tell you that he and Raaba will be wed in holy matrimony.] 

There was gasps then everyone jumped up and congratulated the two.

********************************************************************* 

The grand audience chamber was filled with students. It had finally come.Their graduation.They
were all squirming with nervousness. Master Skywalker finally came up to the stage.He started his
lecture on how it's important to be a jedi knight and how to use the Force for good not evil.When
he finished announced them to the stage. 

"Jacen,Tenel Ka,Jaina,Lowbacca,Raynar,and Lusa.You have shown excellent work in this
academy.You truly worked hard.You have mastered each lesson I prepared for you,built your own
lightsabers,and completed your training.They ignighted their lightsabers with a familiar snap~hiss
sound.You six must go and become guardians of the galaxy,protecters of the New Republic.You
must fight the dark side.You are Jedi Knights now."Master Skywalker went on. 

Jacen said,"Tenel Ka and I will go to Coruscant and Hapes cluster to visit our families. 

"Yes,Tenel Ka agreed. 

Jaina said,"I will travel a while with Zekk and help him with his bounty hunting." 

Raynar said,"Lusa and I will be trying to find more Jedi's for the academy." 

"Yes,"said Lusa. 

[Master Lowbacca says he will wed Mistress Raaba and start a family of his own.] 

Kyp and Darceia walked up and gave each a blessing.Then Kyp turned and said,"We'll be staying
here to help teach untill we can move into our house on Coreilla." 

"May the force be with you,"said Master Skywalker. 

********************************************************************** 

Everyone was on Kashyyyak for Lowie's wedding.Wookie wedding's were very diffrent.First,they
stood in front of the leader of the circle for his blessings.Next,they said a few vows and
blessings.Finally,the circle came up and and each member congratulated and blessed the happy
couple. 

Lowie escorted Raaba to her new home.Everyone was leaving. The Jedi Knights waited for Lowie
to say good-bye.A few minutes later Lowie walked out and came up to them. 

Em Teede translated,[Master Lowbacca gives you his greetings and farewell.He hopes for the best
of you all.] 

"We're going to miss you,but we promise to keep in touch," Jaina said. 

Everyone agreed.Lowie said good-bye one more time than retired to his new home.Jaina and Zekk
headed back to the Lightning Rod.Jacen and Tenel Ka headed for the Rock Dragon to get ready
for their trip. Kyp,Darceia,Raynar,Lusa,Han,Chewie,and Luke got in the Falcon to head to Yavin
4. 

The wedding was beautiful.Everyone was very happy for Lowie, especially Chewbacca.

********************************************************************* 

Jacen turned to Tenel Ka,"You know,it's going to be good seeing my family again.I saw my father
today,but I didn't get a chance to talk to him". 

"I know,"was all Tenel Ka could say,"I want to see my parents too!" 

Jacen tried again,"the wedding was beautiful,wasn't it".

"Yes,it was,I'm very happy for Lowie," 

Jacen for once didn't know what to say to her.He knew she loved him,and he loved her.Finally he
just said,"I love you." 

She turned and said,"I know." 

He kissed her.It seemed forever but he knew it was like 60 seconds.He didn't care,he wanted to
spend the rest of his life with her. 

********************************************************************** 

Jaina looked at Zekk as he put the Lightning Rod into hyperspace. She loved flying with him.She
loved just being with him.She kept staring until Zekk looked over. 

"Hey beautiful,why so quiet,"Zekk asked. 

"I was just thinking." 

"Of what?" 

"You". 

"Really". 

"Yeah". 

"I love you". 

"I love you too! So where to first?" 

"We have to go to Kessel,some guy is supposed to have cargo hidden there". 

"Okay". 

Zekk leaned over and kissed Jaina deeply."Let's hope it's there," he said. 

"I'm sure it will". 

"I love you". 

"I love you too"! 

********************************************************************* 

Yavin 4 was peaceful.The sun had just rose and dew was still on the ground.Luke was helping the
younger Jedi's catch up.Raynar and Lusa were at their favorite waterfall.Kyp looked at his
wife.They were sitting on a bench in the courtyard.He was glad he finally found someone.Darceia
loved him and he loved her.She was good to him and now she was going to give him a daughter.He
was happy with his life and he was happier with Darceia.She seemed to make sense of his life. 
"I can't wait to have this child,and teach her the ways of the force,"he finally said. 

"Neither can I". 

"I love you so much" 

"I love you too,"she said smiling. 

They sat their together kissing and telling each other their feelings.She reached up and played with
his hair as she kissed his mouth with passion.She loved him.She couldn't imagine living without him
either. 

"Promise me something,"he asked. 

"What". 

"When the baby's born she'll be as beautiful as you". 

All she could do is smile.Her life was perfect.All they could do is wait for the baby and spend as
much time together as they could. That is what she'll do.Happily.
