Just so you all know I will be on hiatus during the summer months of June and July! So for those months I won't be posting any new chapters! I will try to post as many chapters as I can before then! I won't stop writing during the summer though, I will record chapters on paper and transfer them to this site at the beginning of August!

Please R&R and tell me if I should continue this story! Thanks!

Love,

Hanna Solo

Han awoke to find his wrists bound with stun cuffs. He looked around and took in his surroundings. He appeared to be in a medical ward, but the funny thing about this one was that there was only on bed. It didn't actually look like a bed, more like a table. A bunch of Medical Droids gathered around it.

Then he noticed what was on the table, or who was on the table I should say. Although to Han, it looked more like a what right now.

It was Anakin, most of his skin was burnt off, and he lacked on of his arms and his entire lower body! The sight made Han's stomach turn.

Then it hit him. Where was the pretty lady? She couldn't leave him yet! He didn't even know her name!

Han jumped up, but realized too late that he had made a big mistake! Pain shot through his arms and into his legs! He collapsed to the ground and again. He forgot he was wearing stun cuffs! If you move too much while wearing then you...well, get stunned! It's very painful.

Then a voice emerged from one of the dark corners of the room. It was a weird, cackling voice. "I see you're awake now." The voice said in a tone that was anything but kind! "I also see you've managed to stun yourself in less than a minute of awakening'" He chuckled and Han scowled, "You will be happy to know that I've contacted your...guardian...and he shall be here to pick you up soon. And I must say, he didn't sound too happy when I talked with him. He said that running away is a common thing with and he's getting tired of...oh how did he put it? Chasing you and your sorry self around the galaxy." The voice said.

"What?!" Han looked terrified! "Why did you go an do a thing like that!?" He would go back, he just couldn't! He would never go back to the Traders Luck with Garris Shrike! Nobody could make him!

"It's for the best, Han Solo, you guardian is worried about you." He said evily.

"No he's not! I'm nit going with him!" Han paused, then asked, "How did you know my name?"

"Oh Han, I know everything about you. I know that you don't want to go back with Garris because he beats you a lot and you're tired of going out into the streets and begging to get money for him. You want to be independent, alone...solo. The only thing holding you back is your love for a certain wookie living on the Traders Luck by the name of Dewlanna." The voice said.

Han was taken aback in astonishment. "Who are you? And how do you know so much about me?"

"My name is Emperor Palpatine." The voice said, stepping out of the shadows. Han gasped at the ugly face of his captor. He recognized him as the man with the black cloak he saw on Mustafar.

"I don't care who you are! I'm leaving!" Han said defiantly,

"Oh really? I thought you had already managed to stun yourself. If you weren't so reckless you might have had a chance." Palpatine replied as he walked to the medical table to check up on Anakin.

Han frowned, the goes his escape. The only thing he could do was sit and watch. He shifted his gaze to the Emperor when he cried. "Finally! He's finished!"

Han wondered what Palpatine was talking about, but he knew he'd soon find out.

"You look perfect...Darth Vader." Palpatine exclaimed as a dark thing stepped off the med table.

Han looked at the dark thing. That wasn't Anakin! Where did Anakin go and why was this...thing all covered in black armour?

"Lord Vader... can you hear me?" The Emperor asked,

"Yes Master." Darth Vader replied, "Where is Padmé? Is she safe? Is she well?"

"It seems as though she was about to give birth. So I sent he to the medical ward." Palpatine replied.

"When will I see he again?" Darth Vader asked,

"All in good time. But first I have a job for you." The Emperor motioned towards Han, "This is Han Solo. Take him to the docking bay, where there will be someone there to take him back where he belongs. Do not fail me!"

"As you wish Master." Lord Vader said in obedience. He walked over and grabbed Han.

"Hey! Let go of me you weird looking droid!" Han said as he squirmed around in Vader's arms. "I'll never go back! You can, you won't make me!"

Vader grinned under his mask at this little boy's persistence. He reminded him of himself when he was young.

"You'll never take me alive! I swear that I'm never going back with him again!" Han Solo continued. Now they had reached the docking bay, but there was no sign on any ship yet.

"Calm down, we just have to wait a little while until your guardian gets here." Vader said, trying to calm him down.

"You're one to talk! You're not the one being sent to your grave!" Han replied.

"Sent to your grave?" Darth was amused and wanted to here more about this little boy who had prevented him from killing his beloved wife.

"Yeah. When I get aboard that ship, he's going to best me so hard for running away I'll probably die! Then you'll be sorry for killing a little kid like me!" Han replied.

Vader's smile dropped. He remembered his life on Tatooine as a slave. He was beaten a lot and once her was almost killed.

"Are you a slave on that ship?" Darth Vader asked,

"You could say that I guess. " Han replied, "I'm being held there against my will!"

Vader thought for a moment. Then he said, "I'm not going to let you board that ship."

"No I'll never go! Wait what?" Han asked surprised.

"Come on. Follow me and be quick!" Vader said, putting Han down. Han followed curiously.

"There." Vader pointed to a small ship. "That's your ticket off this planet."

Han gazed at the ship. "Can you fly one?" Vader continued,

"Of course! I'm Han Solo! The best pilot in the galaxy!" Han replied, grinning.

"I don't know about that, I was pretty good when I was your age as well. But we don't have time for chatter. Get in the ship and blast into hyperspace. Get far away from here!"

"Wait!" Han shouted before getting in, "Is this some sorta trick?"

"No it's not, now go! Live your life to the full!" Vader said as he watch Han board the ship.

"Oh believe me I will! When I'm older I'm going to join the Imperial Academy!" Han said with confidence then asked, "Hey, was that lady you were talking to named Padmé?"

"Yes, that's her name." Vader replied,

"And yours is Anakin right?"

"It was, but Anakin is gone now. My name is Darth Vader."

"For the record." Han replied, "I think Anakin is a pretty cool name."

"You had better go now." Vader said, brushing away Han Solo's last comment. "Good luck Han."

"Thanks for all you've done! I hope someday we'll meet again!" Han said. He closed up the ship and took off.

Vader waved. "I think it's a cool name too." He whispered. Then he walked back inside, how was he going to explain this to Palpatine?
