"Captain Han Solo and Princess Leia Organa please report to the Command center." The words rang in the air as the commander said it over the intercom.

I sighed and looked up from my meal before grabbing my datapad and walking towards the Command center. Why did they call Han and me to General Reeikan?

Who cares I mean, it's not like he's going to fire us or anything.

I guess that I wasn't paying attention to where I was going because the next thing I knew, my face collided into something soft yet muscular. My datapad fell out of my hands and onto the ice floor below me.

"Oh, excuse me." I said in a light voice before bending down to pick it up.

"No, it's my fault." He said, grabbing the datapad.

I know that voice….

"Captain Solo." I looked up at him as we both stood up, stretching into our full forms.

"Your Worship." Again, I have to resist the urge to roll my eyes. I gave him a small yet annoyed smile and then turned into the Command Center.

"Good Morning Solo." General Reeikan approached us and shook Hans' hand. "Good morning Princess." He tipped his hat at me.

"You wanted to see us?" Han asked, speaking in a professional tone for once.

"Yes. We have to place sensors out around Hoth in case of an attack from the Empire. I have decided that the two of you shall go out on tantans to go and place the sensors."

Han looked at me and I nodded.

"Thank you." I said, and I turned around and started walking towards the door. I glanced around to see Han, and I realized that he was just standing there. I rolled my eyes and then walked towards him, grabbing his shoulders. "Come on. We have to get ready." I said, and he turned around with me, following me out of the Command Center.

When we got to the Falcon, Han threw me a parka.

"Here." He said, and then stuck a few ration bars in his pockets.

"Han, we're not going to be gone for days. We're only going to be gone a couple of hours!" I protested as he shoved a flashlight into his pocket. I pulled on my heavy winter gloves and grabbed my goggles from Han's hands.

"I just wanna be safe, that's all Your Highnessess."

I grinned at him and then leaned up against the wall. "You know, we haven't had our daily fight today."

He stopped looking down at his gloves that he was putting on his hands and then stared up at me like I had said something crazy. "You're right. Man, are we whacked."

"No Han. That's not it."

"Then what is it??"

"We're making progress." I said, and then walked down the ramp, Han following me.

"Captain Solo. Princess Leia. Your tantans await." He pointed towards the two fowl smelling animals that only had two legs. Han immediately got on one and grabbed the line that came from the tantans mouth to its neck.

"I've never ridden a tantan." I shook my head.

"Come on, Sweetheart. It's not hard. Come on." He got off of his tantan and then walked over to me. "I'll give you a leg-up."

"No. I do NOT need a leg-up! I can do it myself." I protested, and then I felt one arm wrap around my waist and the other around my leg. "HAN SOLO!!!!" I screamed, kicking my legs in every direction possible. He lifted me up and placed me on top of the animal. I gave him a death glare. "I could have done it myself."

"Sure your worship." He rolled his eyes. "Now put your feet in these holes and grab the reins."

"What are the reins?"

"These things." Han picked them up.

"Am I supposed to hold them a right way?"

He took one part in each hand and then put his large hands over my small ones, the reins fitting into my fingers. "There we go. Are you ready now?"

"Yes."

"Okay." Han walked away and then got onto his Tantan, grabbing the reins.

"Here are the sensors." One of the command officers gave them to Han. "Good Luck and May the Force be with you."

We kicked the tantans, and they started moving rather awkwardly out of the south entrance, moving into the snow. We made it almost half-way away from the base and the other side of the planet when the storm started to pick up. We had placed about 5 sensors of the 30 we had. God it's cold. But I can't let him know. Well...maybe I can tell him. "Han?" I asked.

"Yah?"

"I'm c-c-cold." My teeth chattered together.

"Well try to stay warm Princess!" He said, chucking another sensor into the snow. The heavy snowflakes quickly covered the gray sensor and then I felt the ground starting to move. No wait! That's my tantan!!! It started to moan, and I screamed as it fell onto the ground. I fell down too, my face half covered in the deathly cold snow.

"Leia!" Han screamed, getting off of his tantan and running over to me. It's so cold!!

"What happened???" I asked as Han pulled me up off of the ground.

"The tantan died from frostbite."

"Frostbite?" I gasped.

"Come 'ere." He said, and then lifted me up onto his Tantan. "You can ride with me. Just hold on tight." He said, getting on and then grabbing the reins. I wrapped my arms around his waist and shoved my cheek into the back of his parka.

"How come yours didn't die?"

"Because it's older and can sustain colder temperatures longer." He said and we took off.

About 15 minutes later, I opened my eyes and looked around. I couldn't see anything except for Han and the tantan. "Han?" I asked. "What's going on?"

"The storm got worse. I have to call for help."

He scraped the snow off of his watch and then pressed the button. "Echo 3 to Echo base. Echo 3 to Echo base." He repeated over and over again for 5 minutes. "Dead signal." He finally said. "The temperatures dropping too rapidly. We have to stay warm. We have to make a fort." Han said, getting off and then pulling me down. I stood next to him as he took out the emergency kit which contained the shelter we were going to be in. "Now shut up while I build this damn shelter." It was obvious that he was very annoyed at the weather.

"Fine." I said, and then let go as I watched him construct the fort. After he constructed it, we crawled in and Han went to the back. I went to the opposite corner and wrapped my arms around the knees that I brought to my chest. It's so cold! I rocked back and forth in the fort and then Han scooted closer to me, wrapping an arm around my shoulder. I slapped haway.

"HEY! You're worship! I'm only trying to help!"

"I don't need help." I spat.

"No, but you need warmth."

That was true. But I didn't want to admit it. He may think that I love him if I let him cuddle me. But then again, it does keep us warm. I sighed and then leaned into his arms, resting my head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around me, and I wrapped my arms around him, our bodies very close together.

"Han?" I asked, breaking the silence.

"Hmm?"

"How long do you think we're going to be out here?"

"A long time. Depends on when this storm ends. I'd say about a week."

"A week?"

"Yeah…"

"A week with you…"

"I know, exactly what you want, isn't it your high and mightyness?"

I just growled at him, and that was the last thing I remembered before I fell asleep.

So there's the first chapter. What do you think? Oh, and I don't own Star Wars...blah blah

REVIEW!

Toodles,
