note:it gets kinda weird now so be careful reading it.

When they got to Ilog they were met by Koty's guard ships. He went to the
com and told them to stand down. When they landed on planet he directed
them to their quarters and left to attend to his business.
"Liya, lets go for a walk, I want to talk to you." Jaina told the girl.
"How old are you?" Jaina asked her once they were alone on a nice path
through a garden behind the Inn.
"15, in a sense." The small fire haired girl answered. "Have the other's
told you about my...pervious engagements?"
"Zekk gave a brief re-cap." Jaina said, looking distant as she thought of
Zekk. "I'm 16 and he's...about 18." The last part was a whisper.
"You two are beautiful together. It's wonderful to see that again. In all
this time I've never actually married. Once, almost. We were just too
busy to settle down. But I had three children. Two boys, twins and a
little girl. I would have married and had more but I died."
"What was his name?" Jaina asked. Liya smiled with a look of mischief in
her eyes.
"Obi-Wan Kenobi. He was such a dear. I was Shine` Kenobi. But to most I
was 'Kenobi's witch'."
"What did you name your children? What were they like? How old were you
when you died? Them? Was Kenobi older than you were?" Jaina had a million
questions.
"We named them Qui and Gon and my little girl was Cethryn. The twins were
Obi-Wan's children, always into mischief and always in trouble. Cethryn
was my girl and was small, kind, more patient then I'll ever be. It was
as long as I ever lived, I was about 39. They were almost 14 and 11. He
was about a year younger than me." Liya said thinking of her two greatest
loves.
"Since you were as good as married, what was it like," Jaina blushed, 
"Being married, from my point of view, depends on who you marry." Liya
smiled at Jaina and then changed the subject. "What do you think of
Koty?" Liya didn't seem like a mother anymore. Jaina made a face.
"Hmm, I like him." Was the reply to Jaina's scrunched up nose.
"Don't you...well I mean what about Obi-Wan? I know he's dead but it
doesn't seem like you should be getting crushes on people. I mean affairs
and divorces aren't uncommon and he is dead but...you were still almost
married."
"He's dead, his almost wife is dead, and I'm 15. It wouldn't be natural
if I didn't have a crush on him. Everyone else is coupled off. The first
few life times I didn't love anyone. I was being faithful to a dead boy.
He was my first love...and you uncle has his eyes." Jaina made another
face at that thought. They were now back were they started and it was
getting dark. Zekk was waiting for them. He put his arm around Jaina and
they all went inside.
Koty was waiting for them. 
"You must come to the dance tonight." He said, then whispered.
"To avoid suspicion and to make to friends." He secretly hoped they'd
change their minds about the resistance, he'd hate to kill them.
"We always have the best times." A girl came up and grabbed
Koty's arm. She smiled playfully at Jacen.
"Katie, these are some new recruits. They helped me escape from
those who had captured me. Jacen, Jaina, Lowie, Lusa, Raynar, Zekk, Tenel
Ka, Liya, Anakin, Tahiri, MTD, meet my sister Katie."
"Hi." Jacen and Jaina said in unison. 
"Greetings." Tenel Ka nodded. They all said hello to Katie and headed off
to the main building. It was loud. Everyone was dancing. Some were human
and some were not. Lusa even saw other centauriformed beings. The Young
Jedi Knights just stood there watching. A metal sounding music was
playing with heavy drums and hard strings. It seemed to be a free for
all, no steps no organized pattern. They stuck out horribly. All except
Liya. She seemed to blend right in she moved the way the others did. It
wasn't uniform, they all had their own styles. Koty had disappeared into
the crowd. Katie had stayed with Jacen. 
"Come on, don't tell me Jedi can't dance Liya shouted over the music.
"You're Jedi?" Katie said shocked. They all looked at Liya, they had
wanted to keep that secret. She just smiled at them.
"Uh, yeah." Jacen shrugged. "We were gonna be but it didn't work out.
Koty had a better offer." Katie started dancing and so did Anakin and
Tahiri. They caught on almost as fast as Liya did.
"Travelers have to adapt to all kinds of environments and cultures. We
have to learn quick with some."
Jacen started to. Tenel Ka almost cracked a smile at him. It took him
awhile to catch on. The others joined in, Zekk last.
"Zekk!" Jaina cried in surprise, "You're good!"
"I used to hear this one all the time on Coruscant. Street kids always
throw the best parties!" He laughed. Jacen just about had the idea down
when the song changed. This one had a shaky sound to at the light flashed
all over the place. The moves changed, now the mild hip swing changed to
heavy hip shaking and partners were all over each other. Anakin and
Tahiri made faces.
"Is there a junior dance?" Anakin asked. Most 14 years might not have
minded as much, but Anakin wasn't into partying, especially not like
this. Katie laughed and moved closer Jacen. He didn't know what to do. He
wasn't going to dance like that and certainly not with a complete
stranger. Cute but no. Tenel Ka maybe...
Tenel Ka did save him. She came up to Jacen and started talking to him
politely and Katie backed off. She and Jacen started dancing. They
weren't as attached as the other couples but it gave Katie the point.
Jaina and Zekk didn't hold back. Even though Liya and Katie didn't have
partners they still danced.
