Jaina sat atop of the temple in the early morning watching the sky brighten as Yavin's sun rose in the sky.

'What am I going to do with myself after graduation,' she thought over and over. Suddenly she realized that it was 5:30, an hour to breakfast, instead of taking a shower she desided to go for a quick swim in the pond. She jogged over to it and looked to see if Tenel Ka was swimming there. She wasn't.

She's probably sleeping with Jacen. Jaina thought giggling to herself.

Jaina decided to go over to the more secluded side and begin to strip down to just her panties, she looked over her body after 17 years she had grown into a beautiful girl, no wonder most of the boys of her class sought after her she mused. Jaina dived into the water.

    Zekk had woken up early and had decided that a shower would not be good enough today. He glanced at his crono, it
was 5:38, plenty of time for a swim and to catch breakfast. When he got to the pond he saw a figure lounging under the small waterfall that fed the pond. At first he thought it wasTenel Ka but she usually swam laps. Deciding on getting a better look with out alerting her to his presence. He snaked around the trees and small rocks until he got on the other side of the pond. To his suprise it was Jaina. He shrugged to himself walked out from behind the trees and dropped his towel, shirt, and pants next to Jaina's clothes.

    "Hay Jaina I hope you dont mind compony cause Im coming in." Zekk yelled to her and before she could protest he
dived in.

"Zekk you, you scruffy looking blasterbrain!!" Jaina shreeked dipping down to her neck in the water, "Cant you see I'm skinnydipping you nerfherder!"

"You should know better than that." Zekk chided sarcastically.  He moved closer to Jaina, who in turn tried to back away
but was already up against the wall.

"You keep your distance Zekk." Jaina said trying to find an escape route.

"Jaina look the only thing I came here for is a nice early morning swim, not you."  He said even though it was only partially true. He moved out of the way and Jaina rushed pased. "You can use my towel if you want Jaina.  Just dont get it too wet." Jaina quickly dried herself off and put her clothes on, keeping her back to Zekk the whole time. When she was finished she picked up the towel again and threw it into the water.

"Thanks for the towel Zekk." she said sarcastically, chuckling she walked off towards the temple.

That girl is..is..a...NO she's the most beautiful girl I saw. He thought. The instant the anger flared up he squelched it.  Zekk wadded up where he put his stuff, retreived the extra towel he brought, dried himself, dressed and went after Jaina. You were really smart, just jumping in and not asking if it was ok. He thought as he ran back to the temple. He desided to tell her he was sorry when he had the chance, preferably alone.

When Zekk got to the dining area he saw that mostly every one was already there.

"Hey Zekk! Whats up? You're never late." Jacen said as Zekk came to the table with his food and found a seat.

"Oh, nothing major just had a bad night." he answered, looking over at Jaina.   He saw her trying to keep the grin off her face. Jacen and Tenel Ka had began talking with each other. One thing was different, Lowie wasn't there.

"Um Jaina wheres Lowie?" Zekk asked, startling her out of her thoughts.

"What, oh he left to visit home last night, you were in thejungle then, why did you what to know?" She answered quickly. Zekk decided to have a bit of fun.

"Oh, no reason. I'll just have to work on the Lightning Rod by myself thats all."  He answer, waiting for a reaction from her.

"Hello Zekk! There are other people that can help too ya know." Jaina said, an angry look on her face. Jacen look at them with some amusement, Zekk was playing her for a sap. Tenel Ka leaned over to Jacen and whispered, "Why doesn't Zekk just ask Jaina?"

"Just watch and Ill tell you after if you dont get it okay?"

"Oh ya thanks Jaina.  Thats right, I forgot maybe Raynar or even Master Skywalker would help, he might want to brush up on his mechanic skills." Zekk said thoughtfully. Jaina was furious at this.

"Zekk you're forgeting someone....like me for instance!" She said through clenched teeth trying to keep herself from outright yelling.

"You never asked." He said mildly.

"What, what do you mean, but..." She started but before she could finish Jacen couldn't help it any more and burst out laughing followed by Zekk.

"What are you two laughing for?" Jaina demanded, Zekk tried to speak but couldn't stop laughing so Jacen tried to explain. "Isn't it..obvious Ja..Jaina...he..played you..you..for a..sap." he said in between his laughing, "And..you..fell for..it."

Jaina's fury was going away and embarassment was taking its place. She got up and started to glare blaster bolts at them. "Well I'll be dismantling the Lighting Rod with thermal detonators if you need me." She said, walking towards the door, as an after thought she called back to them "Oh and this is NOT a joke." and with that she turned and left. Jacen looked at Zekk, "You know I think shes really going to do it too."

When Zekk got down to the hanger he found Jaina standing by the Lighting Rod, taucing upand down a Termal Detonator. She grined at him when he came into her view. "Jaina."

"Whats up Zekk?" She said with an innocent look. Then sudenly she through the detonator at him.

"Woha!" Zekk cried as he caught it. Instede of exsploding a tinyholo came on showing a ship exsploding. Zekk looked at it, humileation and embarisment creaping on his face. When he looked up Jaina was smiling at him, but it wasn't because she thought what she did was funny but something else he couldnt place it though. An odd feeling begain to creep into him too. "You want to go for a walk, just the two of us?" he asked. That wasn't the response she was expecting, she thought he would yell at her or make some comment. For once she couldn't think of a better response than

"Um, what are we waiting for?" She answered with a half smile.

"Great lets go." with as much confidence as he could muster.

The two had been walking in slence for about 15 minutes when they reached a small waterfall leading off form a creek, neather of them had been there be for. They setteled them selfes on some large rockes for a rest. Jaina looked at Zekk, why had he asked her to go for a walk in the first place any way she thought. Why did she keep kidding her self Zekk is a great guy, his personality was what meny girls dreamed about, and he is so cute. Her last thought made her giggle out loud.

"Whats so funny?" Zekk asked not intierly paying any attention to her out burst instead he was gasing into her eyes like she was before shegiggled.

"Oh nothing. Say Zekk.  This walk was nice and everything but maybe we could um, have dinner together tonight, just us." She asked, turning hergase away from him and looking into the water.

"You mean like a date?" He asked nervously. Jaina looked up at him and smiled, "Yeah a date." she said feeling the same emotion.

Latter that eveing Zekk had set up a table and had goten all the food for there dinner in a unoccupied room in the Great Temple. Then he cleaned upand went to get Jaina from her room. She was just coming out when he got there. He looked her over she was waring a skirt and a white butten down shirt, andher hair was tied of in a tail and draped over her sholder.

"Hi Zekk you coming to get me?" She asked even thought she knew the answer.

Zekk grinned, "Ya I am, you ready?"

"I guess so." she said uncertainly. The two walked to the room where the meal was. Zekk puled a chair out for Jaina. Jaina smile and turned a little pink at his courtesy. The dinner itself went well, they talked about small things.After they had finished Zekk led Jaina to the small loveseat in the room. They sat in silence for a while untill Zekk decided to start talking.

"Um Jaina what do you think of me." He asked.

Jaina flashed him that beautifull Solo-grin, "Oh Zekk you a really great...." she trailed off. "Oh I dont know any more." She sighed.

After a minute Zekk decided to try something. "Maybe this will help you." He put his arms around her and kissed her fully on the lips. Jaina when wide-eyed but felt a calm come over her like one she never felt before, almost like all her worries were taken away. Then she realized that strange feeling she had for a while.

The two broke off, Zekk looked a Jaina exspectantly. Jaina looked into him emerald green eyes and flung her arms around him tightly. "I love you so much Zekk I just never realized it." She said her voice muffled by his chest.

Zekk put his face in her hair, "I love you too."

Jaina looked up at him, "Good now you have to buy me presents." Jaina said trying hard to keep the smile off her face.

Zekk chuckled. "I just might, now what do you say lets go tell everyone."

"Alright lets go." Jaina said jumping up, with Zekk in tow, toward the door.

THE END

.......Great huh?  Well I hope you like it you MAY not get another from me. (I start them but don't finish them.)
