Wedding Disasters

By: Lilian Anna Solo

Part 1

Lilian Anna Solo was sitting in her room waiting for her brother, Han Solo, to come and get her. The day had finally come, and it was the time that she was waiting for, for her whole life. Something she wanted the minute she laid her eyes on Luke Skywalker, she knew that it was meant to be. That was many years ago, and now she was going to marry him. She sighs as she puts on her veil. Tears welled up in her eyes. This veil had been her mother's and now it was hers. Actually the whole dress was her mother's. She hadn't known how Han had gotten it, he had scrounged for it, she knew that much. And she hoped that he knew that it meant the whole galaxy to her. And she would do anything to wear this dress today. It was like her mother's spirit was here with her. She smiles to herself as she stands up and starts to pace. She was a little worried that Luke was going to change his mind when it came to saying their vows. But she knew that, that wasn't going to happen.

Han Solo was happy for his sister. He really was. But he had a feeling that something was going to go wrong here. He knew it was just paranoia spending so much time with Luke and Lily who were both perusing their Jedi careers. He shook his head; everything was going to be fine. And Lily was going to be the glowing bride that he knew she was capable of. He smiles and opens the door, "Hey Lils, you ready?" He said as he looked at her and he smiled wider, "You look…wow, Lils, you look beautiful. Luke is a lucky man to be marrying you." He said as he took her in a hug, "I just hope you know what you're doing I don't want anything to happen to you. And if you have, for some reason, changed your mind, we can get out of here on the Falcon." He didn't mind Luke, he really didn't, but he didn't want his little sister growing up. He had taken care of her from when she was two. And now he felt as if she didn't need him. And that thought scared him. He wanted to be with her and to make sure that she was going to be all right. But she knew what she was doing. She was a big girl; she could take care of herself. He smiles again and offers her arm, "Are you ready to become Mrs. Luke Skywalker."

Lily smiles as she takes Han's arm and shakes her head, "You know it. Han you don't have to worry. I know what I'm doing. I've wanted to be with Luke since we met him when we took him and Ben to the Alderaan system. Luke and I are meant to be. And I promise if he does anything that hurts me. I'll let Chewie know." She said with a smile and a wink, she knew what she was doing. She smiles as they exit the room. She looked around, something didn't feel right. What it was, she didn't know. She knew that Han wouldn't do anything. He had promised the day before that he would be supportive. So what was it? Was it something that was going to ruin the wedding? Did the imperials find out about it? If they did, then they were all doomed. She shook her head, it had been a year after the Battle of Endor, and they weren't as hostile as everyone liked to think they were. Lily knew that things were going to be all right. She would be married to Luke before the sun set. She smiles and takes a deep breath as the stop in front of the double doors that opened to the sanctuary.

Luke Skywalker stood at the front of the sanctuary. He had a feeling that something was going to happen, he was prepared. He had extra security in the place. And no one got in without an invitation. But the threat was still there. And people could still forge an invitation. And he searched every mind with the force. There were only two that he couldn't read, well that wasn't that big of a deal. He wished he were more prepared. Nothing was going to happen to his Princess, he was going to make sure that she was going to be safe and that nothing was going to happen to her. He knew that Han would help, but what if he got shot or something. Well that would be bad, but he knew that Lily could take care of herself. He knew that she had a fighting spirit. And she would make sure that whoever tried to mess with her wedding that they would be dealt with accordingly. He sighs, he had not more time to dwell on this, he looked up and his breath caught in his throat, there was Lily walking down the isle. She looked gorgeous, and he felt lucky that she was marrying him. His face split into a grin and he watched her approach.

When the doors were finally opened. Lily looks up at Luke and smiles; he was the most handsome face in the crowd. Well that was something that she thought all the time. But today it was even more profound. He was going to be her husband, something that she had been waiting for, for a very long time. She smiles at him and winks, she tried to reach him with the force but something was blocking her. She stopped dead in her tracks. She looks at Han and shakes her head, "Something isn't right here. You got your blaster?" She whispers to him. She looks around, something was wrong. She couldn't reach Luke through the force. That scared her. There was only one other time that she was unable to do that. But she hadn't been able to figure out the cause. She looked around and looked at Luke who had a puzzled look on his face. She tried to smile at him, trying to reassure him. She shook her head and took another step towards him, and felt a blaster pressed against her skull.

The man had jumped out of the crowd and brought out his blaster and placed it against Lily's head and wrapped his other arm around her arms so that she couldn't' fight him. He smiles at Han, "Well Solo, it's nice to see you again." The man said, he then looks at Lily and smiles even wider, "Wow Miss Solo, you have grown." He smiles even wider as he kisses her cheek. She cringed and that just made him smile even more. "You don't remember me do you?" He chuckles in her ear and kisses her neck, "I was once your boyfriend, my name is Harry Should, I'm going to make your life a living hell. You should have never have left me. And now I'm not interested in marrying you anymore. You are going to be my slave till the end of time, and I'm going to make sure that you suffer." He then looks up at Luke and shakes his head, "It's too bad that I have to kill Skywalker, if you had just stayed with me Mr. Dreamboy, would be safe." He stroked her hair, "I promise to make you happy. Well maybe not, maybe I'll just make sure that you are mine."

Lily froze when she heard that voice. There was a reason she had dumped Harry. He was abusive and had raped her on many occasions. She struggles with him and manages to kick him in the shin. Since she couldn't feel the force she grabbed her blaster and kicked off her shoes. She couldn't fight in high heels. She glares at Harry, "I suggest you leave. This is my wedding day that you're ruining, I would suggest you leave." She said as she aimed her blaster at him. She looked back at Luke to make sure nothing was going to hurt him. The second things started to go down hill or they threatened Luke then she would be there to make sure he was safe. She would do whatever they say. No matter how painful it was. She would make sure that Luke lived even if she died. She then looks back at Han who also had his blaster out and pointed at Harry.

Harry smiles when Lily points his blaster at him. He knew that she was good with a blaster, her brother had seen to that. But he was better. He pointed his own at her hand and shot her hand as she dropped the blaster. He smiles and rushes back over to her and grabs her by the hair and places the gun by her ear, "Skywalker, I suggest you let me have her, if not I have no problem killing her right here, right now." He smiles as he presses the gun farther into her skull, "I'm going to have her as my slave, so don't worry, I won't kill her or marry her. She's too scummy for me anyway." He smiles when he could see the anger on Skyalker's face, he was getting to him, exactly what he wanted to do. He looks at Lily and notices that she was crying, he reached up and gently brushed the tears away, "Don't worry Lils, you'll be fine." He looked at Solo as he used his nickname for her and smiles, "Sorry Solo, but we need to get going."

That was it for Han he dropped his blaster and pounced the man. When he had him pinned to the ground he looked at Lily, "Get out of here! Don't worry about me and Luke, we got it!" He then didn't wait for an answer he looked at Harry, "You will not use her!" He yelled as he started to punch him. He knew this man, he would stop at nothing until he had Lily, and that was something that he wasn't willing to let him do. He looked up and saw Lily running for Luke. He shook his head, "No Lily! There's someone up there!" But before he could get any further a man came up and pointed a blaster in front of Lily's face, and Han was too busy with Harry to do anything. He looked at Luke and was about to shout at him, but then Harry reversed the positions, and now he was punching him in the face. Han tried to ward him off, he had to protect Lily, she wasn't going to do anything to protect herself, she was going to make sure that Luke and he were all right before she got out. That was not what Han wanted, but he wasn't going to stop her.

Lily stops dead in her tracks when the other man came out and pointed the blaster in front of her face. She ducked and ran into him ramming her head into his stomach making him fly through the wall. She looks at Luke, "You have your blaster?" She didn't wait for an answer she grabbed his hand and ran out of the chapel with him. She looked back at him when they reached the outside. Lily stopped and looked at Luke, "You alright?" She asked as she runs to him and throws her arms around his neck, "I'm so sorry." She said through her tears, she had almost lost him and that wasn't something that she wanted to do. But something didn't feel right. She looked up at Luke and he was smiling, not in the gentle way he did whenever they got in a pickle like this, but in an evil way.
