Ailyn
He was ready. Thank the Force.... I thought "Mike, glad to see you ready, we've got to go now or we'll be late."
I didn't like sounding like some witchy step-mother, but for one I was angry at Electra, and another Solo was making such a big deal out of this I didn't want to make him have a fit. If he still did, he'd get a blaster shot in the forehead.
I grabbed Mike by his arm and began to pull him out, then went off to find Andy.
This had better be good, Solo. was the last thought in my mind before I met up with Electra, Andy, and the Poppellwells
Threepio
"Oh, Mistress Rylee! It is extremely delightful to see you once again!" I greeted as I opened the door for her, then saw even more figures approaching
Oh, it is so wonderful to see all these faces once again! Just like all those years ago, when we all went on a terribly dangerous journey to stop the Empire. But there was one specific person my circuits would increase power to see: R2-D2, my closest freind and counterpart.
"Please come in, come in!" I said happily as I backed out of the doorway

Electra
I had just found Andy and the Poppellwells, and just started to talk to them, when I saw some movement out of the corner of my eye. When I turned, I saw Ailyn coming, and it looked like she had Mike in tow. Mike had the dirtiest look on his face, and then when he saw me, he glared openly at me as well. Almost as though this was somehow my fault.
He's just angry, I thought. I didn't blame him. I turned back to Andy, for the moment ignoring my brother and... step-mother. "Is everyone ready to go?" I sighed.

Andrew
"Ready when you guys are!" I replied blithely. I did however see the dirty look Mike gave Electra. Looked like I'd have to ask him about his troubles, again.... And the same went for Electra as well.
John Caplin
Finally, I fixed my bowtie and dusted my jacket off, ready for the do. I walked out, and froze in my tracks. Mara was wearing a shimmering off-the-shoulder green dress that hugged her figure, with earrings that had rubies and jadestones set into it. Her hair curled around her shoulders, creating all-in-all, a vision of a Goddess. I had to literally push my jaw back up.
"Wow... You look divine...."

Mara
I smiled warmly at him, reaching out and taking his arm. "And you look very distinguished yourself," I said. Indeed he was wearing a distinguished suit, which somehow made him look as young as the day I'd met him, and at the same time, seeing him made me think of how much we'd been through together, and how much I deeply loved him. For a moment, I completely forgot that this was him in a droid body.
However, it didn't matter to me--it never did. In fact, I had reached the point where I barely remembered that his spirit was encased in a HRD. To me, he was the same John he'd always been. And he was.
Then I glanced over at the droids, and I smiled at them. "I think we're all set to go now," I murmured.

John
I smiled, and then leaned over to kiss her cheek. It was funny, I mused to myself, how everything in life had come to be. I recalled for an instant, a brash young Lieutenant of the EDFMC leading his platoon through Cloud City on Bespin, before being forced back by what seemed to have been the Demon King of a fairytale; and then of that same Lt. standing up to a Jedi, scared slightly but putting on a brave face, which lead to him marrying the beautiful woman at his side...
I smiled again, and hugged her to my side as I opened up the Bond I shared with Mara.
I'm ready to go, my love...
I waved the two droids to follow.

T3
I looked to Master John and beeped in reply, then got right behind him, with HK behind Mistress Mara. Finally, I would get to see everyone I had met so lon ago, many of them descendants of the people I knew generations ago.
The door to exit the apartment opened, and the four of us went out into the hall, and I began to go towards a certain group not far off that I knew very well....

Mara
I smiled at him again, allowing my love for him to flow through the Bond we shared, then we left the apartment together, along with the droids.
Then we headed a short way down the corridor, where just up ahead, we saw a small group of people--the very people whom we were leaving with, very soon.
"Hello, everyone," I greeted warmly, as we approached them.

Andrew
I laughed and waved over the approaching group. "Mara, John! Good to see you two!" I smiled, shaking Johns' hand. "How've you been?" I asked, bending down and patting T3 on the 'head'.

Mara
"It's good to see you too," I said in reply, nodding toward Andy, and nodding toward the others. "Looks like we're the last ones here," I added with a smile.
I glanced over at Electra and Mike, who looked like they were trying to smile and appear friendly, however I did notice that it seemed like, when they thought no one was looking, they were... sulking?
I decided to ignore it. If there was some family squabble going on, I didn't want to get involved, not unless I had too.

"It's good to see you too, Threepio." Rylee smiled good-naturally at the droid who had had a small helping hand in raising her. "It's been a long time."
"Too long," Jaing answered. Indeed, none of them had seen each other for a couple months, and that was enough for both Jaden and Jaing to forget their private fueid and start talking about the galaxy's state, how th eothers have been doing, what missions they've been on so far... Sitting in the lounge, just talking, made Jaden feel whole again.
"We're family, Jade." Jaing looked at her, a mixture of fear and determination clouding his eyes. "And I swear, if anything happens to you..." He left the thought unfinished, letting Jaden come up with her own twisted ideas.
"The Vong should be in orbit, now." Jaden bit her lip. "I think we better just forget about Calvin for now. Mom's going to watch his six. She never does things half-ass."
Jaing nodded, interlacing his fingers through Jaden's. "Watch mine, too, sis," he said. "And I'll watch yours. We're stronger together, you know?"
Jaden smiled. "From water we're born, in fire we die," she said, quoting an old Mandalorian saying. "We seed the stars."
"I think the Galaxy needs a few more stars, now."
"Then let's go. Time to kick ass."
"I like the way you talk."
Jaing snapped his fingers in front of Jaden's face. "Hey, you there?" Jaing frowned as Jaden shook herself mentally. She nodded. "Your mental activity disappeared for a second. Daydreaming again?"
"Of the past," Jaden said. "Of… better times."
Jaing closed his eyes. So they both sat there, face-to-face, in the living room, with nothing to keep them company but their thoughts.
-
Rylee was being led through the house by Threepio, with Ben at her side, getting the grand tour. Her practiced eyes took in, almost automatically, the escape and entry points, defense positions, and the best firing positions. She loved her job too much.
"So where're the secret rooms?" Ben asked.
