Deep within the dark underworld a lone woman with blond hair and
piercing grey eyes sat at the bar sipping some wine as thoughts of
her light/dark past loomed before her. She had turned to the
darkside and that should of been punishment enough, but it wasn't. The pain
was the simple fact that she couldn't see the one person she had
honestly and truly had grown to love. She finished her drink and was
about to leave when a man wearing a bikers uniform appeared in the
room. She looked at him and he walked straight toward her.

"Reggie, what are you doing here? Isn't my pain and torment
enough for you?"

"Well hello to you too Callista." Callista scowled and
popped a pretzel into her mouth. Redge joined her and sighed.

"Your request to go back has been denied. I'm sorry."

"No. No. NO!!" She screamed grabbing her case worker by the
collar and brining him to eye level.

"I have to see her Reg. Pull strings, kill someone, I don't
care what you do, but I have to see her. Think of all the things
I've done for you. You owe me Reg." He released himself from her grasp
and sat back down.

"Why is this so important to you Cal?" He inquired looking
straight at her.

"I can't explain it. When I took that little girl and cared
for her something inside me changed. I don't know what happened but
I actually fell in love and cared about another human being. I wanted
to keep her. Oh how I wanted to keep her, but her and her parents
had different ideas. She turned on me and I have the scar to prove
it. " Callista whispered fingering the scar that went from her naval up.

"She killed you didn't she." She nodded.

"That says something right there Cal. " Callista closed her
eyes for a moment then opened them

"Regie please." He sighed.

"Alright, but you realize that that little girl is quite
grown up and has a family of her own. Plus it has taken her 15 years
for her to forget. Luke and Mara spent a fortune on therapy for the
child." She gave him a look and he sighed.

"Alright, I'll take you back but you must promise me a quick
look then we leave okay?"

"Okay."

"Lets go." Callista nodded and both headed for the door.

Meanwhile in the world of the living snow was covering the
ground as Arica hurried along the walks that led to the Imperial
Palace. It was Christmas once more and music and carolers could be
heard on every corner and in every single building. As she made her
way to her apartment she noticed that she could hear loud music
coming out of the apartment doors.

"Well, they must of gotten those powerful speakers that Aunt
Leia wanted." Arica snickered to herself as she opened the door to
her apartment.

Franchesca was playing with grandpa Luke when she sensed her
mother.

"Mommy!" she shrieked as she ran to the door and was scooped
up by Arica.

"Hello Sweetheart." Arica cooed as she carried her two year
old into the main room

"Mom!" Dustin cried running to his mother and wrapping
himself around her left leg . Arica looked up and smiled.
" Hey everyone!"

"Hi, sweetie." Mara replied taking her granddaughter

"Grandma." Franchesca replied wrapping her arms around
Mara's neck and Mara pulled her close. Arica ruffled Dustins hair
and was about to give him a kiss when a certain smugglers boy got
jealous.

"Alright, Alright. It's my turn!" Dustin let go of his
mother and Jareth wrapped his arms around his wife and pulled her close.
Arica snuggled into his arms and Dustin and Franchescabegan digging
for presents in Arica's bag.

"Hey, Hey, you two. We aren't opening gifts yet " Shada
replied rushing over to her grandchildren taking the bag and placing
the presents under the tree

"Grandma, I want to open my presents now" Dustin whined
Jareth let go of his wife and walked over to his son.

" Dustin, maybe if you wait Mommy will sing for us." At the
mention of Arica singing everyone turned toward her and begged.

"Please Arica." Jaina replied.

"Yeah, sweetheart. Sing for mommy please." Mara asked
giving her daughter a hug and kiss. Arica grinned

"Okay. What song do you want me to sing?" Everyone thought
for a moment then began to discuss it.

Meanwhile Callista and Regie had arrived.

"Oh wow. It's Christmas." She whispered. Regie nodded
"Remember our deal Callista. A quick look then we leave
okay." Callista nodded.

"Where is she?"

"At a family Christmas party. She took a deep breath and
followed him into theImperail Palace.

Reggie and Callista were about to walk in when a medium tall
sandy blond haired, blue eyed, girl rushed to the door and walked
in.

Reggie followed, pulling Callista in after him and she closed the
door.

"Reg, Who is that?"

"That is Luke's and Mara's youngest Kirrianna."

"She looks exactly like Luke!"

"Yes, she does. Calli, are you sure you're going to be able
to handle this?" Reg asked giving her a concerned and worried look.
She nodded.

"Yes." Reggie looked at her and shook his head.

"Alright. " and they continued inside.

Reggie walked into the main room and Callista followed. She
recognized many people, Luke, Mara, Han, and Leia. Three people she
didn't recognize. Micheal, Ayden, Kirrianna, Shada, and Karrde,
Jareth, a little girl and boy and there standing in the middle
singing in the most beautiful voice she had ever heard was Arica.

"Arica." She whispered.

"Oh my." she whispered placing her hand over her mouth
trying hard not to cry

" oh my.... look at thick long curly redgold hair her
complexion, her eyes, and that voice...." Reg smiled

"I told you she'd grown." Callista was a bout to ask if
Arica could see her when Arica looked up and aqua eyes met grey.

`I still remember a summer gone by.

Why was it over so fast.

I still remember when we said goodbye.

Why can't our summertime last. .....

Do you remember me?
I once called you my own.
I am sad as I can be
It's not fun all alone

Why can't a memory
Roll away like a tear.
Why do I go to my window
hoping you will appear
Cause I need you
Cause I miss you
Cause I wish you were here.

The microphone dropped to the ground with a loud thud and all color
drained from Arica's face and soon it was totally white. Every
single memory of Callista and that time in her child came flooding
through.. Reg grabbed her and was about to leave when Arica's eyes
rolled back and she started to faint. Luke was about to catch her
but Jareth beat him to it. She fainted and fell into his waiting arms.

"Arica? Arica!" Jareth called trying to wake her up

"Mommy. Mommy!!" the children cried running to her.

"I'll take her to her room" He replied picking her up and
carrying her to her old bedroom that they were sharing.

"Grandma, Grandpa. Is mommy going to be okay?" A tearful
Franchesca asked. Luke kneeled down and pulled her close.

"Yes, she will be fine." She nodded and went off to find
her brother.

As they watched the scene in front of them Callista sighed

" I guess she remembers me."

"Yes, seeing you must of brought all those surpresed
memories back."

"I need to see her Reg."

"I don't think that would be a good idea. You'll make it
worse. Let's go. You have had your look. " Callista shook her head
and headed for the bedroom.

In her bedroom Arica was drifting in and out of consciousness
when she felt someone in the room. She opened her eyes and looked
right into the eyes of her. Everything she had tried to forget came
thundering through like a wildfire sweeping through the trees. Her
running away from home because she felt that her family especially
her mother didn't want or love her anymore. She tried to shut off
the memories but more came. Then there was her.

"Hello Arica." Arica's eyes narrowed.

"What are you doing here Callista? Get out!"

"I'm sorry Ari, but I just had to see you." Callista looked
her over and she shivered.

"You've turned out quite well. You're very beautiful Arica.
Of course you always were but now you're even more so." Callista
whispered trying to get into Arica's mind.

"Get out of my mind Callista I don't want you here! It took
me 10 years of therapy and being poked, prodded, hypnotized, just so
I could forget you and what I had to do in order to free myself and
my family of your presence."

"Not all of your time with me was bad Arica."

"Not bad. Not bad! You poisoned me. Lied to me and took me
away from my family for ten years."

"It was only a month Arica."

"Well, Im counting my years of therapy as well. For months
after that I couldn't even go near my mother let alone touch her.
All because I listened to and believed you." Arica venomously replied
giving Callista a dangerous venomous look. Callista wasn't
dissuaded in the least.

"Arica, I wanted to keep you and love you with all my heart.
And the only way I knew it could be returned was to destroy your
family. I saw your children Arica. They're beautiful." Arica's head
snapped up and glared at Callista getting an evil look on her face.

" You stay away from them. You hear me!! You go near them
let alone touch them so help me Callista I will hunt you down and what I
did to you last time will seem like a picnic compared to what I will
do."

"Arica!"

"What?!"

" I love you. I would never ever hurt you or your children."

"But you did."

" I know but our time together wasn't all bad. Don't you
remember?" Arica thought for a moment then sighed.

"The menagerie, the camp out, and the sleep... sleep... "
She was so ashamed that she couldn't even speak.

"Sleep over." Yes, the Sleep over That was the night Arica
had finally surrendered to her. She had cuddled her, loved her, did
all the things that at the time Arica felt that her parents and
family were denying her. Arica looked away as tears rolled down her
cheek. Callista smiled and sighed.

"You remember." Arica nodded.

"Do you have any clue what it's like to sort of love someone
you should totally hate.?" She whispered. Callista smiled

"Yes, I have that relationship with your dad and do you know
how hard it is to love someone that looks like someone you hate.
She looked up at her.

"You mean my mother." She asked.

"Yes your mother. Ihate your mother"

"Why? Because she has my father in every shape and form and
you don't."

"No. It's because she has you. You are a gifted, very
talented jedi and person. She never really recognizes it. She has
everything with you. A beautiful talented, gifted, loving daughter
who worships the ground she walks on and she never notices it. You
gave her two beautiful grandchildren and would do anything even risk
your own life for her and she doesn't appreciate it. And......"

"Stop it Just stop it!!!!" Arica screamed turning away and
trying really hard not to cry.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean..." Callista saw Regie signal her
and sighed.

" I have to go now Leapsion. I love you. Always remember
that." Arica ignored her and soon Callista was gone. Arica reined in
her memories and started her way back into full consciousness.
