The long-awaited
sequel to "Secrets Echo of the Past" (for those of you who have read it
already, and there's a very good reason why I haven't actually posted it
yet . . .) that sees the resolution to a lot of romantic foibles, including
Luke and Mara's tumultuous relationship, Tara and Anakin, and Jaina Solo's
own forbidden affair.

"I hate
spaceport bathrooms. You have no idea how much I hate spaceport bathrooms.
I mean, it smells like decaying flesh in here."
"Bleedin'
stars. What did you eat?"
"It's not
me. Look! Have people never heard of flushing before?"
"Go for
the second stall from the end. You can never go wrong with the second from
the end."
"Do you
have any idea how much therapy you need?"
"I'm well
aware, but if you want to do your biz in peace, go for the second from
the end."
"Okay.
But you know what, it stinks even worse down here. Are you sure?"
"I'm always
sure. Hurry up."
". . .
Oh balls."
"What now?"
"Come here.
There's a guy in here."
"A guy?
Well leave the man in peace, for crying out loud!"
"He's DEAD,
though."
"Dead?"
"DEAD.
Come here."
"Hell's
bells. You weren't joking."
"He smells
awful."
"What a
sick way to die. On the can. Classy stuff."
"How long
has he been dead, do you think?"
"A few
days, maybe. They evidently don't clean these bathrooms very often."
"What do
we do? We can't just leave him here!"
"And what?
Risk everyone assuming WE killed the poor bastard?"
"No. .
. ring the office or something, I dunno."
"You're
a real egghead, you know? Nice thinking. Good way to get us shot. I say
we leave him here."
"Great,
fine plan. Walk out of here stinking like rotting flesh. Yeah, you know,
there's a BODY in the can. Nothing out of the ordinary."
"Calm down.
Let's just turn around, and leave."
"You know,
THIS is why I hate spaceport bathrooms."
Sequel to "Forceful
Depression, Elite Intrigue", by Alexandra "This is not your average fanfic"
Pope
Like Atlantis,
in a single day and night of misfortune, an era came to an end, and another
one began. And this one wasn't fun, or romantic, or anything. Not that
no one saw it coming. They knew it was coming; it had to be. They just
wished it hadn't had to come now.
By Sara "Tara's
not a cyborg anymore" Miller
You may have
your theories.
But theory's poised to bite you in the ass.
