Time: 2 years after Crisis at Crystal Reef
Note: Jacen and Jaina are nearing 18. Zekk is almost 21, and Anakin and Tahari have made it to full Jedi Knights. Anakin is using Obi-Wan Kenobi's Lightsaber at the request of Luke Skywalker (I haven't read Kenobi's blade yet) and Tahari hasn't built her blade yet.
 
"Ouch! Hey, watch it," Zekk said.
"Whops, sorry, didn't mean to get ya there," Jacen said. The two of them were dueling with their Lightsabers. Jacen had just nicked Zekk on the leg with the tip of his blade.
"It's ok. We've been dueling for over an hour now, so maybe we should turn in," Zekk suggested, turning off his Fire-Orange blade.
"Maybe you're right," Jacen said, distinguishing his Emerald Green blade as well. Just then Jacen's twin sister and the Wookie Lowbacca came running up to the two of them. Jacen could tell they were excited about something.
"Hey guys, guess what?" Jaina asked.
"You won the Falcon from dad in a bet?" Jacen replied.
"I wish. No. Uncle Luke said that we're gonna have visitors," she said, jumping up and down. Before Jacen could ask who was coming, Zekk pointed out into the sky.
"Look over there. A squadron of X-Wings!" he yelled.
Jaina glanced at where he was pointing, then added, "Those are the visitors: Rogue Squadron."
12 X-Wings, all with the Rogue Squadron Insignia, began to approach the landing field. The one at the head of the formation landed first, and Jaina, Zekk, and Lowie rushed up to the side of the snub-fighter. Jacen came at a more leisurely pace. A man in his mid-to-late thirties came down, with his helmet under his right arm. Just as Jacen was joining the group, Luke Skywalker came to greet the guests. The leader of the group made a slight bow. "Hello master," he said.
"You aren't in training anymore, Corran. Luke is just fine," Master Skywalker said. Commander Corran Horn, leader of Rogue Squad, then turned around, and spoke to the Young Jedi Knights.
"I hear that we have some great pilots and mechanics here," he said. Jaina could barely keep herself from running up the ladder to the fighter and take the controls. Jacen spoke up first.
"Yeah, two great pilots, and one ok one," he said, playfully smacking his sister on the arm. "Look whose talking, animal brain," she said.
Corran then added, "Well, we've been looking for some more pilots, and I'm wondering if 3 Jedi Knights wouldn't just do the trick," he said with a smile.
Zekk's jaw dropped open. "Are you serious? Us, Rogue Squadron pilots!?"
"I don't lie," Corran replied.
Lowie rumbled a comment, then ran up and started examining one of the fighters.
Jaina looked at Lowie. "Hey, I'm suppose to say that!" she said and went running after him.
"Well what are we waiting for," Zekk said under his breath. Jaina smacked him in the stomach.

After explaining what's going on with Luke, Corran returned to his fighter and awaited the young pilot's arrival. A few minutes later, Jaina, Zekk, and Lowie emerged from the temple each with a backpack and a few other things. A shuttle landed and they got ready to board it. Jacen, Tenel Ka, and Jacen's younger brother Anakin arived to say farewell.
"Good luck sis," Jacen said as he hugged his twin.
"Luck has nothing to do with it," Jaina responded.
Pretending to ignore her, Jacen repeated, "Good luck sis."
Lowie made a comment, and Zekk said, "He's right. She's in good hands."
After saying their good-byes, the three of them boarded the shuttle As the shuttle departed, Jacen mumbled under his breath, "May the force be with you."
