Disclaimer: Once again, King George has the monopoly on Star Wars. While I'm just a poor, loony Star Wars fan struggling to regain sanity by writing fanfiction.... The song belongs to Foreshadow Songs, inc.
This fic is loosely based on the song "I Don't Have to Wonder" by Shawn Camp and Taylor Dunn, performed by Garth Brooks.
Please review when you're finished. I would like to know what you think of this monster. ;-)

The sun was shining, the birds were singing.... it was a perfect day. A wonderful day for Leia's wedding.
Han had been invited of course. He'd planned to take a seat in the back and watch. He'd planned to be happy for Leia. It was, after all, what she'd chosen.
He stood outside the consulate. His legs had refused to take him inside. Probably for the better, he mused. Watching the guests file in, he thought he spotted Mon Mothma and that little pimp Threkim Horm.
Han was still standing outside when the guests began to file out. He saw Leia and Isoldor, smiling, get in their hovercar and waving goodbye to their friends. Leia looked beautiful. She was wearing a long, white, elegant dress with a white veil and little flowers in her hair. She met his eyes for a split second before looking away.
The hovercar sped off towards the spaceport and left Han and the guests behind.
He walked slowly in the opposite direction, towards a nice little cantina he knew of....
============================================================================
Han sat in a booth near the back, by himself. A droid came by and cleared several empty glasses off the table and handed him a full one. Han smiled and downed it. He'd never tasted anything so good.
A familiar face came in the cantina. Luke was obviously looking for him. Han didn't want to speak to Luke, or anyone else for that matter. All he wanted was to be alone with another glass of beer. He got up from the table and stumbled over to a back door. Once outside, he headed toward the closest bar.
This one was dark and very crowded. An amateur band played on stage while a young girl crooned rip-offs of popular songs. He sat down and ordered another beer.
============================================================================
Hours later he found himself stumbling through the back alleys of Coruscant. Han vaguely remembered leaving the bar with hopes of getting to the Falcon, but everything else in between was a blur. He was nowhere near the hangers now. He didn't even know where he was anymore.
"Han? Han!" A voice called. He turned and noticed someone coming toward him. It was humanoid, with a cape and a small mustache... Lando.
"What are you doing out here? We've been looking all over for you!" Lando said. Han stumbled and Lando caught him.
"Come on." he said, and began guiding Han back towards his apartment. As if he just noticed the intense smell of alcohol, Lando said, "Geez Han, how many have you had?"
"Oh.... a few..." Han replied, grinning.
"Yeah, I'll say..." Lando was begining as Han passed out.
