Set During ESB when Han, Leia, Chewbacca, and C3PO are going through the asteroid field, running from the imperial tie fighters. In Leia's POV. I do not own Star Wars or any of the characters in it.
"Asteroids!" I said, as Han came running into the cockpit and pushed me out of the seat.
"Oh, no." He said, not as concerned as I would like. "Chewie, set two-seven-one." Chewie barked, and then flipped a switch. What is he doing? "What are you doing? You're not actually going into an asteroid field?" I asked, shocked at his actions.
"They'd be crazy to follow us, wouldn't they?" Han asked, turning his head, and then navigating past hundreds of asteroids that nearly hit us. I couldn't disagree with him. They would definitely be crazy to follow us, but the even crazier part is us going through this asteroid field.
Another asteroid thumps against the ship, and I wince at the jolt it causes to shiver up my spine. "You don't have to do this to impress me." I said to Han, hoping that he will get us out of this nonsense. In fact, I think I'm already impressed with him… Wait! What?! Organa what are you talking about? You do NOT LIKE THIS MAN! Han didn't answer, and Threepio steps in, "Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately three thousand, seven hundred and twenty to one!"
"Never tell me the odds!" Han spat at him, and then turned back to the controls. We navigated through the asteroid field, taking out some of those tie fighters along the way. Everyone was scared, and even Chewie barked in terror as a slightly smaller asteroid came especially close- too close- and bounced off the Falcon with a loud crunch.
Threepio's golden hands covered his eyes in terror. I sat there, stone-faced staring at the action. Han gives me a quick look before turning back.
"You said you wanted to be around when I made a mistake; well, this could be it, sweetheart."
What? It took me a little while to understand what he was saying. No, I never meant that.
"I take it back. We're going to get pulverized if we stay out here much longer." I quickly said, grabbing the back of his seat with my hand.
"I'm not going to argue with that." Han nodded, slightly smiling, not reassuringly.
"Pulverized?" 3PO asks in shock before turning back to see the action.
"I'm going in closer to one of those big ones." Han says, pointing to one right in front of him.
"Closer?!" I practically scream in shock, and 3PO says it at the exact same time that I do. Chewie barked the word back at us, only louder. Finally, we went through a gap in the asteroid, and the two tie fighters behind us blew up.
"Oh, this is suicide!" 3PO exclaimed. If only he DID commit suicide…
Han noticed something on his main scope and he nudges Chewie. "There. That looks pretty good."
"What looks pretty good?" I ask, standing up and trying to see what he is pointing at.
"Yeah. That'll do nicely." He said, pulling the Millennium Falcon into a hole in one of the asteroids. "Excuse me ma'am, but where are we going?" 3PO asks me, but I just give him a look of death.
"I hope you know what you're doing." I say, as he drives the Falcon into the cave. I admit it, I was rather afraid.
"Yeah, me too." Han says, landing the Falcon on the ground of the dark cave, completely encased off of the rest of the galaxy.
"Now let's get this bucket of bolts back together." Han said, getting up out of his seat. "I have to go and check on the hyperdrive. I'll be back." He said, and then walked out of the cockpit.
"That man…." I said, shaking my head, and then smiling. Chewie barked at me, and I looked at 3PO for a translation.
"Mistress Leia? Chewbacca says that you love Captain Solo, you just don't admit it."
I glared at Chewie, and then said, "Come on, let's get to work before Han returns." I got up and as I was putting on my gloves, I thought, I do NOT love Han… or do I? I rolled my eyes and then decided to help Chewie with some repairs, hoping to get my mind off of him.
So there's the first chapter. It will get better… trust me. Just review. Please?
