AUTHOR: Arion       charlene816@juno.com
SUMMARY: Will my wishes for Qui-Gonn ever come true?
TIME PERIOD: No time period to this except if there were it would
obviously be before TPM.
TYPE: Uh...I guess it could be classified as romance...especially in the
lenghtened version of this...when I get it done that is.
RATING: G
PAIRINGS: Me/Qui-Gonn
WARNINGS: No warnings here...this is my tamest fic ever...which is why
it's so short. Sorry, I will make up for it later.
DISCLAIMER: Blah, blah, blah. I don't own Qui-Gonn, sometimes I'm not
even sure if I own myself. I wish Qui-Gonn owned me or vice versa but I
don't think THAT wish will be coming true anytime soon. George Lucas
owns Qui-Gonn and all Star Wars related...whatever. Blah, blah,
blah...you all know the drill. I'm not making anything off this. I'm
just making myself happy one little word at a time.
CRITIQUE: This has not been beta read so if you see any major problems in
this by all means let me know. It's 3 in the morning, I ain't a fresh
pot of coffee and I don't drink it.
ARCHIVE: Heck, I ain't one to turn down screen time...just tell me where
so I can keep visiting my own walks of fame on the net. LOL
And if you're still reading all these "previews" hope you had fun
reading. I just couldn't resist trying to make it somewhat enjoyable.

My Wishes Come True by Arion

Every night as I lay in bed trying to sleep, I would wish for Qui-Gonn
Jinn to miraculously appear beside me. That he would sweep me closer,
engulfing me within his strong arms and whisper to me until I fell
asleep. Sometimes this would be all I wanted. To hear his soothing
voice, like soft music, whisk me away to another place. On those nights
I felt lost and lonely. Like I was floating aimslessly about in the
middle of a cold, dark ocean and there wasn't anyone to rescue me. All I
wanted was someone, Qui-Gonn, to hold me close and keep me warm. To tell
me everything would be alright. To keep me safe and to keep bad dreams
at bay while I slept. Always I wished for that.

Tonight was no different. As early as it was, about 4 in the morning,
this was my night when some would be just getting up. Insomnia had first
led me to this point and after it no longer plagued me I still kept these
odd hours. I got in bed pulling the covers over me during the cold,
early hours and my wishing begins before my head hits the pillow. I
never truly believe that my wishes will come true. My heart shatters
when I actually think of this. I'm never sure if it's because of my
doubts or that I feel I will be alone forever. In either case, I still
believe enough to wish those same wishes every night.

The lamp by my bed is switched off and I lay there in the pitch black.
Millions of fleeting thoughts run through my head, preoccupying myself
from the boredom of trying to sleep. Usually I will conjure up a
daydream and play it out in my mind. Play it out until I'm too tired to
deny myself the rest I need, never giving my mind the opportunity to
bring forth memories from my past and my nightmares.

Before I have a chance to choose a bedtime fantasy, I'm caught quite off
guard by a hand winding its way around me. A well muscled chest presses
against my back. My first impulses of panic are pushed aside, though, as
a soft voice whispers "Sshh,"in my ear. Warm breath on my neck sends
butterflies flapping madly around as I recognize who it is. My wish come
true...Qui-Gonn.

I willingly lean back against him. His arms tighten around me in
response as his lips leave light kisses on my temple. He whispers in my
ear once again as he fingers play in hair, relaxing me even more. "Close
your eyes and sleep. Nothing will disturb your sleep from now on." At
that my heart feels extremely happy and light and I close my eyes,
feeling no troubles coming my way at all. After a few minutes, as he
pulls the covers more securely around me to keep out the cold, I feel
myself wander off into sleep, at peace.
