The Dragon Queen II- Saturday

The wedding was being held on the Dragon Queen II, because for these two particular people, there was no more perfect place to get married than on a spaceship. Everything was ready there, and Jaina and her family had gotten ready aboard the Falcon, which then docked at the larger ship for them to make their entrance.

She thought she'd be nervous, but… not even a little.

Leia reached over and squeezed her hand. "Ready?"

"I've never been readier for anything in my life," Jaina said, taking her bouquet from her mom. She'd actually gone traditional for this, white dress, flowers and all. If she was finally doing this, for real, she was doing it right. "And I’ve kept him waiting long enough, don’t you think?" It'd only been eighteen years.

Leia smiled. "It never hurts to be sure."

Allana, adorable in her dress, carefully stepped in front of Jaina, basket of petals in hand. Her nexu Anji trailed after her, almost as tall as Allana herself, but obeyed immediately when Allna said, "Anji, on my left."

When Han came out of the access corridor to join them, he kissed Leia on the cheek and said, "I guess you couldn't talk her out of it?"

"Han," Leia admonished.

He laughed, and offered Jaina his arm. "You know I’m only sore because he used to be the Emperor, right?"

"He was a Head of State, Dad, not the Emperor," Jaina said, taking his arm. "And he’s over that."

For now.

"He better be," he said, smiling wider than ever now. "I won’t have any daughter of mine raising little Imperials."

"Not that it’s your choice," Jaina replied wryly. "But don’t you think you’re getting ahead of yourself?"

"Yeah, Grandpa, stop rushing them," Allana said. "They’re not even married yet."

"They aren't?" Han teased, signaling Artoo to lower the boarding ramp. "Maybe it's time to do something about that."

When the ramp went down, the sound of a hundred Hapan long-horns immediately followed, because they couldn't not do this without fanfare and all that, especially given some of the circumstances. C-3PO exited first to announce them. "Your Royal Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, may I present the mother of the bride, Jedi Knight, former Chief of State of the New Republic, and Princess of Alderaan, Leia Organa Solo."

Jaina gave Leia a smile as she started down the ramp till she got to the bottom, where Luke was waiting to escort her the rest of the way.

Once they'd started off, Threepio continued, "The first heir to the Hapan Throne, the Chume’da Allana Djo Solo."

That got an insane amount of applause. Since the Sith knew who Allana was, they'd had to come out ahead of it and announce who she really was, which meant being treated like a Hapan princess, and they were on a Hapan ship. Allana sighed. "I guess I'm going to have to get used to this."

"Looks like it, kid," Han said. "But there is a bright side."

"Really?"

"Sure. You’ll get to spend more time with your mother. And when you’re in Jedi training, nobody’s going to applaud. They’ll just yell."

Allana's smile was sincere. "Thanks, Grandpa. That's going to be a relief."

She started down the ramp, tossing petals as she walked, with Anji at her side. That probably freaked a few people out.

"Your Royal Majesty, ladies and gentleman," Threepio continued, "may I present the bride, Jedi Master Jaina Solo, and her father, a former general-"

The rest of the introductio was drowned out by the horns and applause. Han squeezed Jaina's hand and looked down at her, asking, "What do you say, Master Solo? Is it time to make Jagged Fel the happiest man in the galaxy?"

Down the aisle, Kyp signaled the Jedi on either side of it, who ignited their lightsabers and lifted them. Jedi honor guards were the best.

"Yeah," Jaina said, "let's do that."

Ben had gotten used to Nik's head so he wasn't staring all the time, and was enjoying watching familiar faces do double takes between his table and the one where the Solos and Skywalkers were sitting.

"Val says Val is hungry," Ender whispered to him as he returned to the table. "But fine."

"I think she knows," Ender said dryly.

He peered over towards tiny Ben.

"You look young," he said, "And a little traumatized."

"He might find it weird," Ender said, glancing that way. "But it can't hurt. I'll go pick you up some food in the mean time - maybe I'll stumble into him, too."

Ender shot Ben an amused look. "Does that mean I should, or shouldn't flirt with your past self?" he teased.

He wouldn't. Or at least not on purpose.

Ender laughed. "It does suit you," he said, "But it would've looked terrible on you at that age."

"Safely somewhere in the middle, I think," Ender said, "As long as we can avoid getting nostalgic."

That wasn't so hard; right now was much happier than those days had been.

"Oh, that's not a problem," Ben said, glancing around. "I miss everyone in this room, but I don't want to live here any more."

"Is it terrible if I say I'm glad to hear it?" Ender said softly.

He'd lived with some amount of guilt about dragging Ben away for a long time. It was... slowly wearing away.
momslilassassin: ([neg] meh)

Ben reached out and gave Ender's hand a quick squeeze. "I love my family, but my life is with you, kreetle."

Ender smiled a little. "Soon we'll be back on Nagoya," he said, "And then our own ship. With our own family."

"But for tonight, we can enjoy the great food, the familiar music, and the sounds of guests trying not to injure themselves looking from our table to the other one," Ben said, laughing.

"Probably more than's strictly appropriate," Ben admitted.
