Practicing several manevurs with her squadron before officially handing the reins to Captain Paris temporiarly for her pregnancy, Nadia constantly hears references from her pilots about Mikey's girlfriend he got on Coriellia and how he is always talking with her or the huge kiss she gave him when they were leaving.
Dismissing it all as part of her husband's Bachelor Party night, she had it on good authority he was well behaved. So to her, the pilots all blowing off steam was a good thing. It made for good morale for the men, it wasn't till hours later she realized there were no Mikey's in her squadron.
====================================================================
Entering the small gymanasium, Nadia spies Locar's young Padawan working on her combat skills against a heavy bag. Watching her for a moment she can tell it's more fustration than technique involved, walking over the the young teen. "Something wrong, Shal?"
"No Master, just getting a good workout in." As she continues pounding on the bag.
"Want to try your answer again, Locar would be disappointed in the technique your using. I know he has taught you better."
Pausing, taking a breath. "Your right Master, I'm a bit upset and Master Locar has always recommended the gym for working out fustrations as a better alternative than sitting thinking about them."
"Well that is a good piece of advice, it drives home the point being fustrated just wears you down." "But what seems to be the source of your fustrations?"
"Ugh just boys being boys I guess."
"Is this leftover from the party? I know you were a bit taken back from Captain Paris wanting to be with Captain Ughan."
"Well I did have a crush on him, than I already worked through that. He is twice my age."
"O so a new boy, come help me stretch. You can tell me about it all." Moving to the stretching mats.
"He is driving me crazy, he keeps coming to me asking advice about this girl he met on Coreillia." "Should he get her flowers, or candies. It drives me crazy sometimes."
"Maybe he just values your opinion, have you thought of that?"
"What yes, but he never pays me any attention." "It's always Maddie this, Maddie that. I swear I'm going to knock ol' Mikey on his butt if he bugs me tonight about it."
Remembering her pilots talking about Mikey, "Is he the one the pilots were talking about, that hooked up with the girl at the Bachelor party?"
Looking at her shocked, "Yes I'm talking about Michael, your Padawan."

Her eyes widening, betraying her calm exterior. "Micheal, is the one we're talking about?"
"Yes, that rockheaded son of a targ."
"Language, Padawan." Shal bows her head in apology.
"Sorry, Master."
"I understand the sentiment. But a Jedi should be more civil in speech." Nodding at the young Jedi Master. "So tell me Shal, have you told Micheal about your feelings"
Face flushing with blood in embarrbuttment. "No, Master. I have not. I'm not entirely certain on how to convey them to him."
"It's just us girls here, Shal. You can talk to me."
Sighing, "Thank you, Master. I dunno how to begin really."
"Just speak from your heart." Prompting the young girl.
"Since I've met Micheal, I've sensed his fondness for me. We ended up training together often. We ended up in close proximity many times as Master Windu had us train in hand to hand combat. I kinda liked being so close to him."
"It's natural to grow fond of those we train so hard with. It was the same for myself with Locar."
"Did you two ever, explore those feelings?" Curiosity gripping the young teen.
"I gave him a few hints that he could pursue me. But I think he felt he was bad for me and kept me at arms length. I've been little more than one of his closest confidants. Though I imagine he wouldn't have turned me down if I was to have suggested an intimate encounter." Nadia finishes with a wink.
"Well that does sound like Master Windu. He does like to surround himself with beautiful woman."
"That he does. Even the Council knew that and buttigned him a very attractive young lady."
Embarrbutted, "Master, you're embarrbutting me."
"Just the truth, Padawan. A truth my Padawan noticed as well. I suggest telling him how you feel. That way you will have your answer and can put your mind at peace." Smiling. "And save us the cost of multiple new punching bags."
"Thank you, Master."
"Anytime time you need a woman's perspective, feel free to seek me out." Nadia turns to leave the Padawan with her thoughts realizing that it's come full circle now. She once use to be the young girl seeking advice from Master Quen and now she is the Master giving the advice. Smiling, Nadia moves to seek out Kara, she'll probably want to hear her son's story as much as Nadia does. Poor Micheal doesn't realize what storm approaches.

Going through the latest batch of receipts, Kara Saveron couldn't imagine how Toi did all this on her own for so long. Even now with a staff of five she barely kept pace with the incoming notes, receipts, and messages that flowed through the Rel Corporation and it's Dragon Confederacy.
One of them catching her eye, as it had her son's name at the top of the sheet. Looking it over, halfway dismissing it as she sees the first date was that of the bachelor party. His charges weren't at Captain Paris's club, so it brought a smile to her face, 'I guess he doesn't take fully after his father after all.' But she notices that there are continious charges randomly in the last few weeks. 'The Admiral most be having him send messages as purchases. I know he likes using flower shops for that.' as she notes the flower shop the Admiral has used in the past as she punches in the numbers coming up.
Hearing the door open to the office, she sees Nadia there. Catching a view of her face, "What's wrong Nadia? You look upset...."

"Upset!? Upset doesn't begin to describe how I feel. Is HE in?" The hormonal fueled fury rumbling just below the surface.
"The Admiral? Yes, he's in. He's in the middle of a small break between meetings. He's free for the next fifteen minutes."
"Pencil us in then. He has some explaining to do concerning Micheal at Tom's party."
"What happened?" Kara asks and Nadia tells her. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was the part of the day that Locar enjoys the most. Everyday, Kara is nice enough to schedule his meetings so that he can have a quiet thirty minutes to himself. His favorite brand of cigar between his lips, eyes closed, and a glbutt of his favorite brandy clenched in his right hand as the Leader of so many, reclines back in his ronto leather office chair with his feat crossed at the ankles propped on the desk. Locar blows out a puff of smoke and with the Force turns it into a perfect circle as part of his meditation. Finally some peace. Thinks Locar when, the cruel Universe, takes it away with his intercomm to Kara's office sounds.
Hitting the answer button. "Yes, Kara. I thought I had another fifteen minutes left."
"You did Admiral, but I've penciled in a very important meeting just now."
"Oh, with who?" He says, as the door opens with Kara and Nadia strolling in with stern faces that could kill a rancor.
"Us. I think you should explain exactly what happened to Micheal during the bachelor party and don't leave anything out." Says the Mother and Teacher of Micheal, in perfect unison.

Sputterring out, "What are you talking about?" "We all saw he wasn't having a good time, so I made him go hang with the kitchen staff. Than I also instructed him to learn all he could about one of them, so he would learn to socialized." "He than met up with us the next evening as he was instructed."

"You let my son, alone on a strange planet, with a girl you knew nothing about!?" Berates the widow of Daveron.
"I..."
She could have turned him over to Imperial Security."
"I..."
"Wait, the next evening? He spent the night with this girl? He's not even 13 till next month. How could you be so irresponsible?"
"Wait a moment, Ladies. You seem to think you know about this already. Where is your information coming from?" Interrupts the cornered, Admiral.
"Don't pretend you don't know. The pilot's have been talking about 'Mikey' and his conquest at the party. It took me awhile to figure out they meant Micheal, but Shal confirmed." Says the young Jedi Master.

Starting to laugh, than seeing the dagger looks. "You heard from the pilots." Chuckling more, "They probably saw the boy's first kiss, cause he was redder than a rancor's butt when she kissed him good bye up on the landing platform. And said and I quote "Bye Mickey call me", he gave me a full report of the night's and day's events. I'm satisfied he performed quite well."
"FULL REPORT, PERFORMED WELL!" both of the irate women in unison.
"Yes now both of you sit down and listen a second." "I had instructed him to learn what he could of one of the cooks. It gave him something to do rather than stare at dancers all awkward. Ask Eddie, he was there keeping an eye on us just like you asked him to." "He kept track of the boy's movements and purchases."
"Purchases? O dear he is just like his father," sitting uneasily on the lounge chair.
Nadia continues to pace, "And just what did he do all night and the next day?"
"Well he fell asleep with her reading comics and watching old clone war news reels, and the next morning downloaded geneolgy reports from Jedi that survived the Order 66 purge."
"Wait why would he do that?" A curiousity sparked in Nadia.
"He slept with her?" Kara's face blanching.
"Kara, hon. He fell asleep with her, not slept with her." "And Nadia, apparently your Padawan has a talent for finding out information. A great deal more than I thought he would." "Young Maddie apparently is a descendent of a Jedi of the era. He found out their son's name, but he hasn't discovered what Jedi as of yet. He promised her he would try." "The rest of their day was breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a few shops." "I think the boy is smitten, I know they talk almost every night after she gets off work." "I'm suprised neither of you have noticed before that all the pilots now call him Mikey."
"That still doesn't let you off the hook for letting him loose on an Imperial World..... what if she turned him in?" the haunted look in his mothers face telling.
"Nadia, how old were you the first time Master Ares let you 'adventure' on your own? I know I was living on the streets of Corsucant for a number of years hiding on my own when I was a young teen." Looking over at his fellow Jedi Master, knowing she knew by thirteen many Jedi have all experienced the same. "Besides, that boy needed socializing outside of the structure we have here. He can lead troops in battle with the best of them, but is quite awkward like most young teens when it comes to social skills."
