[The camera cuts on to reveal a very displeased looking young woman who looks, for those who might recognize the features, like a rather curious mixture of one Han Solo and one Leia Organa.

She stares at the screen for a second, as though expecting it to do something else and, when it doesn't, she just sighs heavily and mutters something that probably isn't meant to be heard by young ears before looking back to the camera once more.]

For the record, this entire situation is a giant, steaming pile of bantha poodoo. [Please, ask what she means by that. Go ahead. Ask.]

If someone's programmed a ship to kidnap people, the least they can do is program it to kidnap the right people. Bringing me here without my brother? [A slight shake of her head and the slow twist of her features into a dangerous looking smirk.] That never ends well.

[There's a pause but, nope, she isn't about to explain what she means by that. Instead she gives a resigned sigh, her expression fades into one of reluctance, and she finally gets to her real point for all of this.]

And now that I have that off my chest, where can I help out around here? If I'm going to be stuck on this floating pile of space junk, I guess I should pull my weight. [Not to mention, this place is going to get old, fast, if she doesn't stay busy.]

[so she's his daughter. she's his daughter. he has a daughter. he has a daughter with leia.

yep, that's. that's a thing that he's going to do. he's going to go talk to his daughter.]

[hoe do you talk to your daughter from the future? hey there, welcome to the solo family, glad you didn't end up a sociopath or dead.]

So.

You're here on the Tranquility. With me. And your mother. And you- [WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT]

Brother?! [what did he do? he has two kids.]

There are two of you. [please don't be crazy, it's sort of solo tradition that you either die young or you're crazy.]

There are two of - [you know what, he's allowed to faint. he has two kids and apparently that means you're domestic and he's not domestic and and and and -

his communicator clatters to the ground because he just fainted like a southern belle.]

[Jaina has every intention of explaining that Jacen and her are twins so, yes, obviously there are two of them. She's even considering mentioning her younger brother despite how difficult it is to talk about him even now... nevermind having to deal with the fallout from his name.

Everything she's going to say, though, is stopped short at the clattering sound. She even leans forward a bit, her expression going from bemused to concerned in the amount of time it takes her to come back in focus on the video.]

Dad?

[She pauses because, obviously, it might take him a second to answer. When he doesn't, her tone takes on an obvious edge.]

Dad. [Ten seconds. He has ten seconds to respond or she's going to leave her room, track him down, and throttle him for having worried her.

Or...

She puts a great bit of sharpness into her next few words.]

Hey! Solo! The Falcon is caught in a tractor beam. You might want to fix that.

[no don't call him dad, he won't ever respond to dad. why would he even

no

please

your mom just stuck her tongue down your uncle's throat for him. he's just.

no.

he's done.]

[Okay, clearly she has to be the mature one here. Because that's going to end well.

Surprisingly, though, her tone is still reasonable and even when she decides to try yet another route.]

Look. This is simple. I'm here. You're here. There's no changing that. [A pause; her tone becomes purposefully casual.] So you can deal with it or you can ignore me. [Another pause. Her tone is still casual but her look is pretty much as pointed as you can get.] Keep ignoring me, though, and I will use the Force to track you down on this ship and make you deal with me face to face, while telling you, nonstop, about how I can out-fly you any time, or place, that you can imagine.

[Another pause; now she smiles sweetly.]

Your call.

I've got two kids.

[that's all he's going to say. he was pretty sure that he was going to die at the hands of darth vader; that he'll either get tortured and his corpse shipped back to jabba or that he'll get shipped back to jabba and die there.]

And she uses the Force. [argh, jedi.] Don't get cocky, kid.

[Technically you have three kids, Han, but Jaina isn't going to mention Anakin just yet. This is probably for the best for all involved.

She does, however, snort in amusement and is clearly enjoying this maybe a little too much.]

A Solo, acting cocky about their skills? Never.

[a solo, right. not that he'd ever talk about the other ones, it's better that all she knows is this one.]

It isn't being cocky if its the truth.

Which is why I know I can out-fly you. [Sometimes. When she's lucky. And the Falcon is having issues. And her dad is half-asleep. And totally unprepared for the race. Shh. She has dreams, okay. Dreams.

Also, tossed out casually because sure, why not?]

Oh, and Jacen's a Jedi too. So you actually have twins who are both Jedi. Just so you know.
