He's Just a Droid

Disclaimer: I'm not making any money off this.

Han Solo had had enough. Yes, he knew how much C-3PO meant to his family. He knew how valuable Leia thought he was, but enough was enough.

Threepio had to go.

The day started out normal enough. Han had gone to work on the Falcon after the children had gone to their lessons. Repairs had actually been going well for once. Of course, the day just couldn't stay perfect. Leia had dropped Threepio off forty-five minutes ago, claiming she didn't have anything else to do with him. Han couldn't understand why she couldn't just send him home. Han had hooked him up the the Falcon's computer so he would leave him alone. It wasn't working.

"Sir! Sir!" his tinny voice called.

"What?" Han snapped. This was the fifth interruption since that blasted droid had arrived.

"Sir, I'm afraid the food prep units-"

Han had had it. He slammed down his tools and marched over to the droid, "You interrupted me to talk to me about the food prep units!?

"They seem to be running low, sir. Of course, being a droid, I cannot taste your food, but I'm sure that if you don't replenish your stock, whatever comes from it will be most unsatisfactory."

Han glared. He went over to the food prep unit and hit a few buttons, "So you want to try food, Threepio?"

"I really don't see how that is possible, sir. I'm only a droid and not capable of such things."

"Come here," Han beckoned, pulling out something and hiding it behind his back.

Threepio cocked his head as if in puzzlement. He scampered towards Han. Han pulled his hand out from behind his back, holding a pie, "Enjoy!"

Han pressed the pie into Threepio's face. Threepio sputtered in annoyance, "Well really! This is going to ruin my circuitry!"

Han chuckled as he walked off. He made it to the cockpit when he heard footsteps. Han froze. It was Leia. She was going to kill him. He figured he had about thirty seconds before she found out. Han knew he wouldn't be able to clean Threepio off that quickly. He was in for it. 5...4...3...2...

"Han Solo!" Leia shouted, "You get over here right now!"

Han gulped, then muttered, "He's just a droid. If I ever meet the being who created him..."

The End
