Hey guys

So, I want to thank all those who have reviewed this story I appreciate all of them.

On with the final chapter of this story


Later, in a restaurant building in Coruscant's lower levels

Entering is Luke and Mara are in their normal clothes, and weapons plus both wearing brown robes with the hoods up. Glancing around to see a mostly empty room the Jedi and smuggler see some people eating at various booths or tables, before the morning rush of breakfast.

"Oh, you've got to be kidding me" Luke says amusingly.

Mara glances at Luke as she follows the Jedi over to a booth with two people sitting in it. Behind the table is Han and Leia's in a black long sleeve shirt, green pants, and a brown vest. Leia's long hair is let down compared to the normal bun it's kept in. There's a shoulder holster containing a blaster pistol underneath Organa-Solo's vest.

Luke and Mara both remove their hoods with sitting down on the opposite end of the booth as they face Han and Leia.

"Well I was planning on coming here so nobody would recognize us, but I guess that ship left" Mara says.

"I guess your Force is not as helpful as you think" Han says, a slight grin.

Leia playfully elbows her husband lightly in the ribs for that remark.

"So, what are you guys doing here?" Luke asks.

"Well after the gala yesterday we wanted a bit of normalcy and some quiet time to ourselves" Leia says.

"Yeah we were looking for a nice breakfast before leaving the planet" Luke says.

"And it's not like you have any food in your refrigerator" Mara says to Skywalker.

"Yours's didn't either. Where I was more than happy to stay to fix us breakfast" Luke replies.

"Well I'm hardly on the planet so you can't blame me for not having anything" Mara says, though with a teasing grin.

"And you think it's different for me? I'm not the one who had four-month-old nerf meat" Luke replies, grinning.

"You're the one with spoiled blue milk, farmboy that I'd prefer to not think about how old it is" Mara says.

"Well, at least it wasn't ration bars. I don't know how you can live off those things" Luke says.

"Hey, they were fresh" Mara replies defensively.

"But ration bars are not food and I want actual food" Luke says.

Han and Leia glance at each other before looking at the other two occupants with a curious expression.

"You stayed at her place?" Leia asks towards her brother.

"Yes" Luke replied.

"Any particular reason why?" Leia asks.

"No, I just didn't feel like going back to mine" Luke replies evasively.

"Really? You two somehow pretty much disappearing from the gala at the same time?" Leia asks curiously.

"Honey drop it. Your bother is an adult and so is Jade, whatever they decide to do on their own time is none of our business. Neither of them needs you being a smothering Hutt" Han says.

Looking at Solo "Thanks" Mara says.

"Sure red" Han replies.

"For the gala Luke I was kind of hoping you did stick around longer so Han and I wouldn't have to suffer in silence" Leia says.

"That's not very upstanding of you sis" Luke replies.

"Well just because I'm a politician doesn't mean I have to like it all the time. Being one allows me to know there's one less self-centered person in control" Leia says.

"Sounds like to me you almost miss the Empire" Mara notes with amusement.

"I don't. The problem is a lot of the people who were politicians or high-class families who only cared about themselves still thrived happily with the Emperor running things. And after we won, the corrupt simply switched sides back to the Republic" Leia notes with disgust.

"Yeah the Empire has fewer bureaucracy issues, but the corruption still exists no matter what" Mara says.

"Well at least we can spend time with each other and not be getting shot at for a change" Luke says.

Suddenly the nearby wall explodes as a hole is formed with two human male looking figures with gray skin, and bald heads. They are in a suit of black armor that is covered in various bones.

Just as Luke, Mara, Han, and Leia get to their feet the rest of the restaurant people slowly start to realize what has happened so most remain where they are either being in fear or caution.

And some feet away the roof explodes as well with two female creatures of the same species drop down onto the ground, with having pikes.

"Oh, great it's the Yuuzhan Vong" Han mutters.

"The what?" Leia asks confused.

"A species from the unknown regions of space who only want to steal or kill for their own pleasure. I've run across them once or twice while on missions. Some good Jedi lost their lives to these animals to" Luke replies, a lace of anger in his tone.

"Silence you three. You will give us your valuables and the rest of you go get from everything else. Kill any you need to get it" one of the female member's order.

One of the male Vong members holding a stolen lightsaber activates and starts swinging it around. Han looking at the creature unamused while pulling out his blaster and shoots the Vong right in his head dropping him to the ground dead.

Leia swiftly pulls out her blaster pistol and shoots the other male Vong in his head as well sending him down to the floor lifeless alongside the first one.

Meanwhile, Luke and Mara have their lightsabers out in their hands activate their blades with engaging the final two members who have staffs, that can withstand a lightsaber blade. Luke ducking a swing cuts off both arms of one of the members before shoving his green blade right into her chest killing the Vong creature.

Getting kicked in the stomach Mara rolls out of the way of another swing and rapidly coming up cuts the woman's head off with her blue blade. As the bodies hit the floor Luke and Mara turn off their lightsabers with reattaching the hilts to their belts.

"Like I've always said ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side" Han says putting his weapon back in its holster.

"Sure, nerff herder that blaster did you a lot of good when you tried to shoot Darth Vader" Leia says holstering her blaster.

Looking at his wife "Using a blaster princess was not the problem. The problem was I need to have a bigger one to blow his armored self to the nine Corellian hells" Han replies then wincing in realization "Sorry kid."

"It's fine Han, I'm used to everybody in the galaxy wanting him dead and it was Anakin who saved me, not Vader" Luke replies shrugging.

"So, are all the dates you take me on going to be like this farmboy? Not that I'm complaining, after all, it makes things exciting" Mara says grinning.

Luke blushes a little at the information of them dating coming out while Leia looks on at them in surprise and Han, has a knowing smirk.

"Wait you two are dating?" Leia asks slightly in surprise before quickly putting the pieces together "Not that you did a great job at hiding the fact."

"True" Mara says then glances at Han "Your pretty quiet for a change Solo, speak up."

"I'm glad the kid took my advice red and finally got around to stepping up to have a relationship with you. And the fact you didn't go flying to the next solar system" Han replies shrugging.

"Oh, great the two of you talking about relationships? I don't even want to know" Leia says rolling her eyes.

Glancing at Jade "I thought you would be more upset they know we are dating?" Luke inquires.

"It's just them farmboy, not the whole galaxy and besides they are your family who was bound to find out some time" Mara says.

"Not just his family but yours's to" Leia says.

"We are dating Leia, not married" Mara replies.

"My wife's right. You've always been a part of this family since you helped Luke out on Myrkr and saving the twins from the Imperials" Han says.

The redhead simply nods at and despite the typical fear that comes up for wanting to run instead of being tied to anything, Mara pushes that down. Instead, she accepts being a part of the Solo/Skywalker family because they are right, she has been a part of it for a long time and it's time she stopped running from it.

"Anyway, I'd say let's get out of here before we end up getting recognized or the owners begin asking too many questions" Han says.

"Yeah I agree, especially down in these parts there would be no point in calling the Coruscant police anyway" Mara says with glancing at the Jedi "Any objections from you Skywalker?"

"None at all. I'm like Han, the less questions the better" Luke replies.

The four of them turn around with Skywalker and Jade flipping their hoods back up as they leave through the hole in the side of the restaurant, with eventually disappearing into the busy city.


Later in Talon's office

Mara walks in to see Talon sitting at his desk rubbing his eyes briefly before setting down a pad. Heading over to the desk Mara sits down in one of the chairs facing her employer, and well the man who has become like a father to her.

"You busy?" Mara asks.

"No. I was just going to head into the cockpit for telling them to get ready for takeoff. What can I do for you?" Talon asks.

"So not even a lecture on leaving out early last night?" Mara asks curiously.

"I handled myself just fine, a bit less of offers then I expected. Though did get contacts made for helping us going completely legitimate in a handful of years. So, no lecture, unless you want one?" Talon replies.

"I'll pass" Mara says, "I came in here to inform you I am handing in my resignation since I want to return to the Jedi Academy to finish my training and become a Knight."

"So, I take it Luke and you are finally done dancing around each other" Talon says.

"Not that it's any of your business but yes. Though why did you assume leaving had anything at all to do with farmboy?" Mara inquires curiously.

"Because if you simply wanted to finish your training and become a Knight, there was a good chance I would be getting a request for a leave of absence. Not a resignation" Talon says.

"Still it could be wanting to take a more active role in helping people" Mara says.

"I do not doubt that plays a part of your reasoning Mara, you do care for people in general. You frequently despite spent two hours auguring with an Arcona trader for the best price only to end up giving all the credits to a starving family. Then cover the cost to me out of your own pocket" Talon replies, barely able to keep the pride out of his voice for a woman he considers to be his own daughter.

Mara glances off since there's still a part of her not used to getting praise for anything, or actual genuine praise. Not just praise from a soulless monster who gave her false encouragement and fed lies just to keep his assassin around.

"I accept your resignation, though it is going to take some time for me to put Shada fully in your place as second of command despite my training her these past years" Talon says.

"You've been preparing for this day to come for years now, haven't you?" Mara asks.

"As you know Mara, a good smuggler prepares for everything" Talon replies smirking.

"True and thank you for everything you've done for taking me in when you didn't have to" Mara says.

"Your welcome" Talon replies.

Mara nods before getting up and heading for the door.


Some hours later in the Jedi Temple at Yavin 4

Walking through one of the hallways Luke is heading for his room to take a short nap before getting back into his teaching class, given just arrived back by use of the X-Wing. R2 is off communicating with some of the other droids around the base.

Approaching the door Luke punches in the keypad to unlock it and walks inside as the door closes behind the Jedi.

Immediately feeling a presence approaching and one that he couldn't sense, Luke on instinct reaches down for his lightsaber hilt only to relax upon seeing it's Mara walking over.

"Trying to sneak up on me Jade?" Luke askes with an amused grin.

"I wanted to surprise you" Mara says a similar smile "And to tell you it may take a few months for getting everything dealt with for Karrde but I'm joining to become a Jedi permanently this time."

"I'm glad your back here with me… I meant the Jedi" Luke says a light blush on his cheeks.

"It's fine I know what you meant and it's okay to be a little selfish on wanting me here for yourself Skywalker. After all, a part of me is here for the same reasons" Mara says, "And I wanted to check out my new living quarters in a bit more detail."

Raising an eyebrow "Your new living quarters?" Luke asks.

"Well did you actually think I was going to stay in my old room, which I hardly did much of the last time I was here anyway" Mara says.

"People will talk about us" Luke replies.

"Let them, I don't care. I ran into Katarn, Corran Horn and Kyle's apprentice Jaden Korr in the hanger, yeah pretty everyone here much talks about us regardless or already thinks we are dating. Also, Corran was complaining Kyle and Jaden won the bet for us getting together this soon, Corran thought it would take longer" Mara says.

"Right, well as long as your fine with-it Mara then I'm okay. Besides, I like having you here for us sharing this space together" Luke says warmly "Waking up to you each morning I can get used to that very quickly."

"I figured you could farmboy" Mara says, and her face turns to worry for a moment "And I came here since I wanted to tell you in person… I love you, Luke."

"I love you to Mara" Luke replies smiling.

Leaning over Luke captures Mara's lips in a passionate kiss as Mara wraps her arms around Skywalker's neck eagerly returning it while Luke moves his hands to encircle Mara's waist. After a few minutes, they break apart, only remain staring at each other longer as they can feel the Force flowing around them containing nothing but warmth and love.

"I'm glad we've made our choices and quit dancing around each other with not taking us a whole decade" Mara says.

"Me to" Luke replies.


Over the next year Luke and Mara continue dating with Mara become a Jedi Knight as they continue to take on various evils plaguing the galaxy. Mara over the years joins her husband in rank as a Jedi Master.

Eventually following a year of dating, Luke asks Mara to marry him which she happily accepts. The next month they have a small wedding with only immediate family and friends on the planet Myrkr where they first met. Convincing Leia to not have a massive, public royal-like wedding was not easy either.

Following the wedding by a few months Mara discovered she was pregnant and later that year Luke and her happily welcome a baby boy, given the name Ben Skywalker into the galaxy.

Unlike in other universes, the Skywalker/Solo family never lost any of its children to the dark side or any of its members dying earlier than their time. Neither did a massive threat rises for threatening the galaxy or an invasion from the unknown regions occur, the galaxy far far away remained at peace.


Hope you all enjoyed this chapter and the story, so leave a review letting me know what you think if you want

I needed a bad guy group for our heroes to face on interrupting their breakfast and decided to use the Yuuzhan Vong but with my own twist on them from how they were used in the old EU.

Han shooting that Vong who was swinging his lightsaber around is a reference to Harrison's other most well-known role of Indiana Jones when his character did that to a sword-wielding thug in Raiders of the Lost Ark film.

Also, the ending of there being no galaxy-wide threats again with no children falling to the dark side and parents dying at their kids' hand, is how this universe went happier then both the old EU and the new Disney verse goes.

The Skywalker and Solo families got their happy ending after for sure earning it and occasionally have adventures.

Because I kind of dislike how everything became so dark and miserable in both the old EU/Disney verse. Because yeah, I like having a happy ending.

Really, I'm quite proud of my short five-chapter story that I wrote.

Until next time on another project
