Chapter 2


"You do the talking."

Leia gritted her teeth at Han as the ship touched down. Luke shook his head amusedly as they stepped down the gangplank and onto the surface of Earth for the first time.

"It's...remarkably normal." Han wrinkled his nose distastefully. Luke walked around the thinly veiled forest-area, studying the flora and fauna. Leia peered around for a sign of human life. The hair on the back of her neck rose suddenly, and she whipped around, blaster in hand, which was now pointed at a shocked young girl.

Luke had apparently sensed her too, as his lightsaber was in his hand but not ignited. She gave a strangled squeak of surprise but stayed rooted to the spot.

"Put your hands where we can see them." Han snapped at her, but Leia lowered her blaster and glared at him.

"She's only a child."

"I've known a lot of kids capable of murder."

"M-murder?" she stammered, eyes wide. "I don't have any weapons on me, don't worry. All I have is a Nerf gun-"

"Gun?!" he cried.

"It's a toy-a toy gun! I don't even have it with me, calm down, Han."

Leia stiffened, eyes widening, and Han nearly pulled the trigger. Luke, however, gave a tiny smile. The girl trembled in confusion and drew back.

"I-I mean Harrison?" she stuttered uncertainly. "Mr. Ford? Sir?" She seemed close to tears now, mumbling softly about how this was just not possible.

"How did you know my name, and who is this Mr. Ford?" Han Solo spoke in his most low, dangerous voice, and Leia winced inwardly, wanting to stop him but not knowing what to do.

"You're...you're Han Solo. C-captain of the Millennium Falcon...General of the Rebel Alliance and the New Republic. Partner of Leia Organa, romantically engaged since The Empire Strikes Back, number five, that is, though I overall try to pretend that the prequels don't exist at all so maybe only the second..." she blabbered on, shaking in her nervousness. "Portrayed by actor Harrison Ford, born July 13 1942, working as a carpenter before his big break in...well you know, and going on to star in many movies including the popular Indiana Jones series and the much-less admired fail-flick Cowboys VS Aliens." She drew a deep, shaky breath, hands clutching her knee-length orange dress. "Sorry about that."

The trio were speechless and spooked.

"How do you know him if you have lived in a whole different galaxy?" Luke asked, a lot gentler than Han's take on interrogation. He waved a hand in Han's direction and he lowered the gun grudgingly. She blinked at him with relief.

"Star Wars, obviously, Luke."

Leia had watched this exchange with quiet wonder. She finally spoke up.

"Do...you know who I am?"

"Princess Leia Organa, maam," her brown eyes widened into large, dark orbs of excitement and admiration. "Oh, of course. The least cliche princess in all of history." She smiled widely before faltering at realizing what she said. "Oh, I mean..."

"It's fine," she responded with a tenderness that surprised herself. "Who are you?"

"Ah," she shifted uncomfortably in her shoes. "Genevieve. Ginny Simms."

"Ginny," Luke questioned her firmly. "Please explain how you know all about the three of us. Do you know anyone else from our place?"

"Artoo-Detoo," she named off evenly. "See-Threepio. Emperor Palpatine, Darth Vader, Anakin Skywalker, Padme Amidala, Shmi Skywalker, Chewbacca, Obi Wan Kenobi-"

"Okay, okay, but how did you know about us all?" Han cut her off impatiently.

"Huh?" Her eyebrows jumped up her forehead in disbelief. "Star Wars, of course."


"Star-what?!"

"S-star Wars." Ginny looked at each of their utterly confounded faces. "The movies?"

"Movies?!" Han sputtered, face flushing. "There are movies about us?"

"Yes. The most famous space-opera series of all time!" she started off again, but this time no one stopped her. "First movie, number four in the series but really produced first, A New Hope, came out in the year 1977, about heroes Luke Skywalker and Han Solo rescuing the Princess of Alderaan from the Death Star and destroying it before it can demolish any other planets other than Leia's home planet. Second movie, number five, Empire Strikes Back, about how the Empire, well, striked back against the Rebels. Luke found out that Darth Vader is his daddy-o and the romance between Han and Leia truly bloomed." She swooned slightly before remembering her company and blushing a furiously deep pink. "Um, oh, and Han gets encased in carbonite, sent to the sack-of-crap Jabba the Hutt. Third movie, number six, they find Han, kill Jabs and his fellows, defeat Death Star 2.0, and Palpy dies. Vader turns good and they have a happy party with their coworkers of the battle, fuzzy two-foot tall teddy bears called Ewoks. The end. You guys don't really show up at all in the first three of the series, except when you two are born.

"Well, how'd you identify us?"

"You...you look like them." she blinked at them. "Which is the most ridiculous of this whole thing because the actors are now in their sixties and seventies and you guys are barely half their age."

"I'm really Han Solo," he growled. "Not some Earth-man twice as old as me."

She groaned softly, hand over her face as she leaned back against a tree. "Impossible, impossible."

"It is possible." Leia assured her with a small smile.

"What...are you doing here?" She looked up at them from between her fingers, almost fearful of the answer.

"We want to make Earth allied with the New Republic."
