This is my first fanfic ever and I'm so excited to share it with you! Huge thanks to Hickystrayts for helping on my writing! This is my take on the journey to Bespin. I use both POV's (Han's and Leia's). I really hope you like this story! :) and if you don't please don't be so hard on me.
If someone would have told Leia Organa that one day she would be stuck in an asteroid field with an arrogant, bantha crap Corellian smuggler and his Wookiee friend, she would have thought they were out of their minds. But it was all real. She was sitting in the navigator's chair behind the biggest pig-headed man in the galaxy, trying to escape Imperial Star Destroyers! She was starting to think Solo had finally lost it.
She was wild with panic, there were asteroids and Imperials everywhere. Though she had to admit that if it was not for the captain's skills they would probably be dead by now…
"You don't have to do this to impress me" Leia said, her eyes fixed on the asteroids ahead.
"Sir, sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to one!" C3PO said. He was obviously more scared than any of them.
"Never tell me the odds." Han said coolly.
This man! I don't know if he's brave or just plain stupid.
Some of the Star Destroyers began to explode as they were damaged by the asteroids.
Maybe he's not as bad as I thought.
Leia actually found herself admiring Han's piloting skills. She had always known he was a great pilot, but now more than ever. She was still angry at him, though. The ship suddenly started moving erratically around and C3PO started screaming and momentarily, so did Leia.
Okay he's just plain stupid.
"You said you wanted to be around when I make a mistake, this could be it sweetheart." said Han.
"I take it back." She was trying to keep calm. "We're gonna get pulverized if we stay here much longer."
"Can't really argue with that." He said, never taking his eyes off the asteroids. "I'm going closer to one of the big ones."
Is he nuts?!
"Closer?!" Leia asked. Now she was getting really scared.
"Closer?!" C3PO repeated.
[Shut up] Chewie growled at him.
Han was now trying to lose the Destroyers, flying between two mountainous asteroid walls. The Star Destroyers were crushed as they attempted to pursue the Falcon.
FINALLY! Thought Leia happily, though she knew it would not be long before more started coming.
"Oh, this is suicide there is nowhere to go," C3PO said.
That droid really gets on my nerves. She thought.
"There that looks pretty good." Han said.
Leia did not know what he was doing anymore. And it is not like he bothered explaining.
"What looks pretty good?" Leia asked, not knowing what he was about to do.
He ignored her. "Yeah, that'll do nicely."
God, he's infuriating! She thought angrily.
"Excuse me ma'am, where are we going?" the droid asked her.
Leia shrugged. Like I would know, she thought. Han then lurched the Falcon inside a cave.
"I hope you know what you're doing." She said to him, feeling a little scared.
"Yeah, me too." He responded. He went a little deeper inside the cave and landed the Falcon.
"Now what are we supposed to do?" Leia enquired, wearily.
"Wait 'til they're gone." He said before getting up from his chair.
"What are we going to do in the mean time? I'm not just going to sit here and wait for them to go."
Han sighed and said "I'm gonna go try fix the hyperdrive. But I don't think your Worshipfulness can help with that." Leia thought of disagreeing, but he was right and she hated to admit it. "You can help Chewie and Goldenrod here in the cockpit."
Leia nodded.
"Chewie let me know if any Imps get inside the cave."
[Yes, cub.] Chewie growled. With that Han walked out the cockpit.
"Do you need my help?" Leia asked the Wookie.
Chewie signaled the control panel [You can wire this cables, Little Princess.] he growled softly.
Leia looked at C3PO for translation,
"Chewbacca says you could help by wiring the cables, Your Highness." C3PO translated.
"Okay."
To be continued…
