Chapter 2
Please read and review! Still looking for a beta reader!
Leia sat in the falcon fiddling with her sleeve waiting for Han to bring the nabooen wine.
Leia loved naboo, and for some strange reason she always felt like it was a familiar place whenever she went there, it was like a second home- of course her first home was alderaan, she would never forget alderaan. But that was not to be thought of at the minute.
Han came in smiling with the bottle of wine and two fancy wine glasses.
Chewie came in tailing behind him. Chewie sat down but quickly got up again, making leia give a questioning look to Han.
Han waved his hand in casualness.
'It's nothing. Chewie's just received a call from his family, he's gonna patch it through'
Leia nodded 'it must be hard being away from his family'
Han took a sip of his drink and muttered 'at least he has family'
Leia ignored that fact that she herself had no family and made more casual conversation ' so you don't have family either?'
Han wrinkled his brow 'none to speak of, anyways your worship, we didn't come here to talk about me, but to talk about you'
Leia choked on her drink, causing Han to pat her back 'we were?' she asked surprised
Han winked 'so any past prince charmings?, your holiness?'
Leia surprised herself and laughed
'Wouldn't you like to know?'
Han leaned in and said 'nice way of avoiding the question, your worship'
Leia shook her head 'I did not come to the falcon to share my love life, thank you very much'
Han laughed
'So what were you so mad about?' he asked
Leia sighed and took another sip of wine 'General Isaac'
Han suddenly became overly protective 'he been giving you anymore trouble! Want me to sort him out?'
Leia laughed 'who are you my boyfriend?' though secretly she was thinking I wish you were and as if their minds were in sync Han was thinking I wish I was
Leia cleared her throat 'one of my adoptive mother's friends have contacted us and has offered us help, by giving her useful information and some money. I want to meet her.'
Han frowned 'you're not going alone? It's dangerous!'
Leia flared up 'why does everyone think I'm so incapable! I had previously arrange a team to come with me, Luke's busy with rogue squadron, and I didn't want him to neglect his position, everything was perfect, I was supposed to meet to meet he on one of the outer rim planets. I had a few suggestions myself, until General Isaac went and contacted her behind my back, arranging to meet on the planet congenash'
Leia paused for dramatic effect and Han shrugged his shoulders
'Never heard of it before'
Leia smirked bitterly 'well that's because it is a very remote planet, and its customs are erm somewhat different from most'
Han again shrugged 'so what's the big deal about this planet?'
Leia ignored the question 'General Isaac wants to come along, and so far the high command is starting to side with him, I don't want him to tag along. He shouldn't have interfered with my mission, he's up to something'
Han smiled 'can't you put up a fight? You usually win them'
Leia sighed 'they have a very good argument against me, one that even I can't get around'
Han leaned forward, if there was an argument that even leia couldn't get around, well he definitely needed to know what it was!
Leia sighed 'I'm not a man'
Han laughed 'have you only just noticed?'
Leia scowled 'I don't want to be a man! It's just that for some reason General Isaac arranged the meeting to be on a planet were men are dominant'
Han laughed harder 'well sweetheart, sorry to break this to you. But men are dominant everywhere!'
Leia scowled 'only in your head, laser brain'
Han wanted to carry on the debate but instead mused 'so you have to go with a man? On this mission?' he asked
Leia nodded, slowly 'general Isaac insists its best if he goes along, and unless I can find another man willing to erm do what general Isaac wants to do, he has to come along'
Han mused on this and frowned 'why can't you take one of the members of the team that you got together'
'He disbanded them' muttered leia
Han put down his drink 'he disbanded them? How?'
'He claimed that they could be used somewhere else and that having only one man would be less conspicuous and more economical'
Han leaned back 'sad to say, he's right'
Leia gritted her teeth 'I know, but I don't want to be alone with him! He disregards my orders and makes me feel uncomfortable. He wants something'
'We already knew that sweetheart'
Leia shook her head 'something more than me, I can't let myself be alone with him and I don't want him meeting my contact, I have a bad feeling about him, and it gets worse with the thought of him coming on this mission'
Han smiled 'well sweetheart, why don't you just ask me?'
Leia looked up from her glass shocked 'ask you what?'
'Ask me to come on the mission'
Leia smiled 'what's your price?'
Han waved his hand 'I don't want credits'
Leia raised her eyebrows in shock 'what the mercenary Han solo does not want credits?'
Han laughed 'just make sure that the mission is funded'
Leia's eyes widened for a split second in shock but then quickly narrowed 'what do you want, captain?'
Han laughed 'for a start you could call me Han, but I'll let you know what I want- eventually'
Leia muttered beneath her breath 'I'm gonna regret this' however she raised her glass smiled saying 'to a good mission'
Han rose his glass and took a sip.
Tomorrow leia would make sure General Isaac would not go on the mission.
