" Jacen, come on! We're going to be late!" Jaina cried as she ran into Jacen's room. Their parents were due to be landing in the Millenium Falcon very soon, and Jacen was STILL sleeping.
"EARTH TO JACEN! Anyone there?"
His eyes slowly started to come apart. She walked very close to him, and said quietly in his ear," You know, Jacen, the sun is shining, the caff is brewing, and MOM AND DAD WILL BE HERE ANY MINUTE! NOW MOVE!"
Jacen jumped up, almost knocking her over. " Why didn't you wake me up?" He asked, smiling.
" Ha. Ha. Ha. Don't make me hurt you," she replied.
Leia Organa Solo sat meditating on a soft cushion while Han Solo and Chewbacca pilot the big hunk of flying space debris that they call a ship. 'Finally,' she thought to herself, ' I get to see my kids. It's been too long...'
" Princess?" Han asked.
Leia opened her eyes. " Fly Boy?"
" You might want to buckle up. We're about to land."
The land of Yavin 4 came closer and closer as Leia looked out of the viewport. Trees covered the ground as far as the eye could see...except in one small area where the humble Jedi Accademy laid, quiet and peaceful. Outside on the landing platform were Jacen, Jaina, and Luke, anxiously awaiting the arrival of their parents. Leia took the whole sight in, the grins on Jacen and Jaina's face, the sparkle in their eyes...Oh, how much older they looked...
Han took Leia's hand as they went down the ramp, Chewie right behind them, and right into their children's arms.
" Chewie!" Jaina yelled excitedly and rushed into Chewbacca's awaiting arms as Jacen hugged Han and Leia hugged Luke. Once all greetings were said and done, they all headed into the mess hall for a cup of caff and a nice chat.
" So where are you guys heading?" Luke asked.
Han and Leia looked at eachother, unsure if this was the time to reveal what they were up to. " We're looking for someone, and we've got a tip as to where they may be."
"Who are you looking for? No one's tried to kill us in almost a month now," Jaina said, right before taking a sip of her caffacino.
" Oh, no, it's not that sort of mission," Han said with a smile. "We're just curious about how this person...ended up after all these years."
"Ah. Got it." Jaina replied.
For the next few hours, Jaina and Jacen talked with their parents about home life, Anikan, the government, and practically anything and everything that had happened since they last saw eachother. Unfortunately, the time came all to soon for Han, Leia, and Chewie to have to go. They said their good byes and we're on their way.
As they watched the Falcon take off, Jaina and Jacen looked at eachother, both thinking the same thing: their parents were hiding something, and not just something little. It was something very important, and they were going to find out what exactly that was.
Han left Chewbacca to pilot the ship while he talked to Leia, alone.
" Leia, our kids are not stupid. They know something is up. You and I BOTH know that they're going to do everything in their power to find out what we're up to."
"I know." Leia sighed deeply, puzzled at what exactly to do next. " I know. I don't want to lie to them, but they can't know the truth quite yet, either."
"We're going to have to set a trail." Han said. " One that will make them think they're going in the right direction and also keep them safe. Which, sadly, means away from us right now." Han stared down at his hands, which were folded and resting on the table. From the cockpit, they heard Chewie growl out that they were about to enter into hyperspace.
" Can we do this, Han?" Leia asked. " I don't think I can betray their trust like that. And there's always room for things to go wrong. Perhaps Luke can go with them...then again he has the Accademy to worry about-"
" Sweetheart?" Han said, taking her hand. " Look me in the eyes. It will be okay. They are good kids. They know that we don't want to put them in any danger, so sooner or later they'll forgive us, I promise. What we need to worry about right now is finding Lacie Marie. Once we do that, THEN we can worry all we want! Heck, we can worry until our faces fall off!" He got up, walked around the table to where Leia was sitting, and wrapped her in his arms. "Everything will turn out for the best. You'll see."
I'll try to up date soon! Please review! Thanks!
