Tasselina paced around the lower levels of Corscant. Some boy named Zekk, 
a new member of the Lost Ones gang had double dared her to a fight. 
"He is a nut," she thought. "He is only skin and bones." 
"So junk collector, you have arrived," said a voice. 
Tasselina 
whirled around, there was Zekk. "Why should you call me that when you 
are a trash collector yourself? 
Zekk ignored 
the remark, " You're just a weakling, surrender now and I might just break 
your arm." 
" Crazy young man, so full of stupid wishes," Tasselina sneered. 
Zekk got 
mad. He hurled himself forward but Tasselina had studied martial arts before. 
She gripped his shirt and stuck her foot out and he tripped over her 
landing face first on the hard ground. He layed still. 
"Too easy," 
she thought as she walked away. Next thing she knew, she was on the ground. 
Zekk had taken a metal rod and had thrusted it to her back. Fireworks 
burst inside her, she is mad. She leapt from the ground, grabbed for the 
metal rod and started beating him mercilessly. He fell, unabe to move covered 
in blood and bruised. Tasselina raised the rod above his head, he looked 
at her, his eyes sad, a pleading look on his face. Tears filled his eyes, 
he looked at her one more time then lowered his head. The looked struck her. 
She looked at him. Tears had droped to the floor. She lost her anger and 
the rod dropped from her hands and it fell to the ground. She gently 
picked Zekk up, not minding the blood and carried him to her quarters. 
Zekk, who had been stunned, relaxed and fell asleep. 
***************************************************************
Zekk woke with bandages all over him. Tasselina had wet a cloth and was 
gently wiping the other wounds. "Why are you doing this?" he asked, 
"I had been mean to you for so long." 
"I still care. Even, I like you, you show courage, " said Tasselina 
as she bandaged another wound. 
"I problably look awful," Zekk said. 
"I think you look quite handsome," Tasselina replied. Zekk blushed at 
the remark. Zekk couldn't believe it, her enemy, is taking careof him, 
he is dreaming. He pinched himself which happened to be a wound, he groaned. 
"What's with the extra hurting?" Tasselina asked. 
"Nothing," Zekk was yawning, a moment later, he was asleep. 
***************************************************************

Norys had seen the fight and Tasselina carrying him to her quarters, 
he wondered what happened. If Taselina had did something mean to him, it's 
the end of her. He went over to the place where the fight had started, 
he noticed drops of blood and tears. TEARS?! Zekk is a crybaby? Just because 
he was going to die? He is much braver. Zekk needs to get to reality world. 
He heard sounds coming. It was not footsteps but wheels. He hid. 

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

Zekk woke up. He was on the ground. Just where the fight had been. 
"So it was a dream after all. Tasselina would have never been so nice to 
me. I like her." He rolled over and noticed that there was a holo card. 
He activated it: 
" Zekk, I have to leave early today, to sing, that's my living, I have 
left you 1000 credits for you to spend. I got it from singing. I hope 
I get to see you soon. Bye!" and it shut off. 
"I hope I get to see you," he said. That was the last night he saw her 
though because he was stolen by the Shadow Academy. He didn't see her 
again until he led the attack on the Jedi Academy. 
***************************************************************

"I'm going into the jungle to find Dark Jedi to fight," said Tasselina, 
who joined the academy. 
"Sure," said Jacen, "but be back early." 
Tasselina went off but she was really looking for Zekk. She only smacked 
aside the ones that ran across her path. She heard rustling sound. 
She saw Zekk. He is a mess. His hair was all tangled. But she knew him 
anywhere. She raced after him she had something to tell him. When he 
finally stopped Tasselina suddenly saw him smear mud all over him. She 
walked closer and saw tears come out of his eyes, he looked just like when 
he was beaten by her. She walked and squated beside him. Then she noticed 
that they looked almost the same. "Did you come from Ennth?" 
Zekk turned 
to look at her, "Yes." 
"Did you have a cousin?" 
"Yes," 
"You're my cousin!" Tasselina cried. 
Zekk looked at her, it was true, he had found her he put his arms around 
her and hugged her tight, " I love you my cousin," he whisped. 
Tasselina 
returned the hug, "So do I." 
Tasselina and Zekk found their real relatives, they looked at each other. 
They have a shared love and relationship. They finally found their family.
