Sequel number 2 in the 3 sets of sequels (that aren't related) for the story This is My Life. The full summary for this story is: Leia is so caught up with the Rebel Alliance that she has no time to spend with Han. Han doesn't believe that having meetings is the reason she doesn't have time for him. He believes that everyone thinks that Leia's too good for him so Leia makes up excuses to not spend time with him. Devastated, He gives up all hope of being with her and leaves at night to let Leia be with someone better than him. Leia is also devastated, and tries to forget about him and live her life. But, when a conflict comes up in the Rebel Alliance, she realizes that the only person that can help them is none other than Han Solo. In order to save the alliance and herself, she sets off to find Han and to win his heart back.
I know it's a long summary, but whatever. So here's the story!!! (Oh, and I don't own Star Wars, it's all George Lucas's idea) (In Leia's POV and Han's POV…starts in Leia's POV)
I groaned and walked out of the Meeting House.
7 meetings so far today, and no time for my personal life. I have a new found brother, and a handsome boyfriend to worry about too!
I haven't hugged him in a long time.
I never have any time to spend with him, and I'm starting to feel bad. Ever since we had returned from Endor it's been meeting after meeting after meeting. Isn't the Imperial Empire destroyed? Shouldn't there be no more meetings? No, I guess not. I told Mon Mothma that I really needed some personal time, and she laughed. She told me that I should stop worrying about Han and start worrying about the Galactic Senate.
I glanced down at my watch and realized that it was really late. It was almost midnight!!
So much for seeing Han today.
I walked to my apartment complex and punched the code into the security pad.
"Good evening Senator Leia Organa." The computer robot said through the intercom as the door opened. I walked down the hallway and pressed the button for the elevator. When it arrived I got onto it and the computer robot asked me a question, "What floor Senator?"
"Penthouse." I said in a flat tone.
"Yes ma'am." The robot said through the loudspeaker and then the elevator shot up the shaft. "Here's your stop. Have a great night!" The robot said as I opened up the door to my apartment.
"Have a great night my…" I mumbled setting my datapad down onto the kitchen table. I stepped into the fresher, the hot water falling down my body and rejuvenating me. After I got changed I crawled under the covers and fell asleep.
I awoke to the sound of dishes clashing in my kitchen. I bolted up in bed and cautiously got up and wrapped my bathrobe around me before creeping towards the kitchen. I bent my head into the doorway and saw Han standing there over the stove making breakfast. "Morning." He said, not even turning around to look at me.
"Uh, Han, how did you get in here?"
He turned around and threw a plate onto the table. It made a loud noise as it slid towards me and I backed away from it. "Key."
"I never gave you a key."
"I borrowed Luke's." He said, turning back around and shoving me a cup of Caff.
"Thanks." I smiled.
He just looked at me and then threw some eggs and nerf steaks into a tortilla and grabbed a cup of Caff. "Bye." He said, walking towards the door.
"You aren't going to stay?" I asked him, shocked at what he was doing.
"Nope. I'm sure you have loads of meetings today like you always do, so I really don't want to bug you. And I have too much stuff today to spend time with you. So bye." Han said very sarcastically and then slid the door open and slammed it shut.
"Bye?" I asked and then looked down at the food. What was Han's problem? Does he not believe that the reason I can't spend time with him is because I have meetings? Or maybe he's just in a bad mood because something went wrong with the Falcon. I looked at the clock and realized that I was late for my meeting. I shoveled the food into my mouth and got ready for my day.
I snatched my data pad off of the table and then ran out the door and into the elevator. "Good Morning Senator Leia Or—" The robot started but I cut him off.
"First floor please and step on it. I'm already late for my meeting."
"Yes ma'am." He said and the elevator speeded down. I exited the apartment complex and ran towards the meeting house. I was already 10 minutes late.
I'm in hot water.
I bolted into the meeting room and all of the other senators stopped and stared at me. "Good morning Senator Organa." Mon Mothma said in an annoyed tone. "What kept you?"
Han.
That's what I wanted to say, but instead I said, "I forgot to set my alarm and got up late. I'm sorry."
"Well next time remember dear." Mon said before turning back to the diagram.
She's so annoyed with me.
Great.
Two people already annoyed with you and it's not even lunch time.
Smooth move.
Han's POV
I stormed up the ramp of the Falcon and moved towards the cockpit sitting down in my seat.
"Damn girl." I muttered, taking a bite out of my breakfast wrap, "Never has time for me…always has meetings." I looked at the wrap and then threw it on the floor, rubbing my eyes with my free hand. "Damn girl."
Suddenly there was a thump and I looked up at the ceiling. Groaning I got up and made my way to the top of the Falcon. Chewie was using the hydrospanner to fix something on the Falcon. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING??" I screamed, pushing the wookiee away. "THESE WIRES ARE IN THE WRONG WAY!!! THE RED ONE GOES HERE…" I yelled, shoving it into the socket. "THE BLUE ONE GOES HERE!" I shoved it in the other socket.
"Cub, you okay?" Chewie asked me.
"NO! What does it look like you big furry beast!!!" I screamed.
"Calm down."
"I can't! Damn girl." I sat down onto the Falcon.
Chewie couldn't help but smile. "So this is about Leia."
"What else would it be about?" I spat at him.
"What did she call you this time?"
"She didn't call me anything Chewie! She never has any time to spend with me anymore. She says that she has too many 'meetings'"
"And what do you think she's doing?"
"Not meetings, I'll tell you that."
"Well? What do you think she's doing for 14 hours?"
"Meetings are probably her excuse for not spending time with me."
"Cub, why wouldn't she want to spend time with you?"
"Well when we would go out in public together, everyone would be amazed that Leia would actually love a guy like me…so maybe she's just embarrassed that I'm her boyfriend!!"
"Didn't you two already 'discuss' this before?" Chewie asked, "Remember on Bespin? That bartender smacked her across the face when you got mad at her and left?"
"I remember Chewie, don't remind me." I said, scratching my head.
"I think you should ask her why she can't spend time with you." Chewie said, walking away and descending down to the ground.
"Damn Wookie." I muttered under my breath.
So there's the first chapter…hope you enjoyed it! REVIEW PLEASE!!!
