A/N: Heads-up, we're switching into Han's POV...

She was standing framed in the mouth of the ramp, her white night gown billowing around her, the light from the storage room glinting off her hair like she had a halo. She was an angel who was bothering to grace him with her presence and he was almost intoxicated with the sight...

Stop it! Han told himself, this is no time for that! You need to keep your head on for this one!

"How long were you standing there?" he asked.

Leia just sighed as though he was being a silly child and she was tired of foolishness. She didn't understand that he was being open and serious for once and that the toll of it was practically ripping him apart.

She strode up the ramp and stood across from him, her arms still crossed; one foot away.

Why was she doing this to him? She knew what he was thinking. She'd heard it all, hadn't she?

"Han," Leia said, still addressing him like he was a child, "what are you doing?"

"How long were you standing there?" he mumbled again, looking down, unable to stand the sight of her being so close and not being able to hold her.

"The whole time, Han," she said shortly "Lando buzzed me earlier." Han glared at Lando who just shrugged and grinned at him like he was enjoying this. It was infuriating.

I'm trying to the right thing! Why don't you two understand that?

"Well then you get it!" Han said to her, "if you were there the whole time then you understand what this is! No further explanations neccess-"

"No, Han," Leia interrupted, "I don't see why you're being so absurd!"

"Don't you patronize me!" he yelled, backing up like a cornered beast, "I know what I'm doing!"

"Oh really?" she said, also getting angry now, "because we can't make any sense of it! Even Chewie thinks you're being ridiculous!"

"Chewie!?" Han shouted to his co-pilot out on the bay, knowing that the Wookie would be on his side.

But Chewbacca shook his fist at Han and cried out,

"I've been trying to tell you, Han! This is stupid. We've got a good job here and we're getting paid twice as much as we were smuggling!"

"Will you shut up about money!" Han yelled back at him, "Not everything's about money!"

"You're right, you're gonna get married and have kids and then I can finally have a break while you're off with you're family!"

"Oh shut up!" Han yelled at him, his face growing red. But he was right...wouldn't it be just great to settle down and have a family…?

No! It wouldn't!

"What did he say?" Leia asked, snapping him back into reality. "He agreed with me, right?"

"No he didn't."

"Yes he did," said Lando, who understood a little of the Wookie language. He grinned even wider. "He more than agrees with you, Princess."

"Shut up!" Han shouted at him. Leave it to Lando to only understand Wookie when it was convenient for him! Why did no one see that he was right? That some greasy space-monkey like him couldn't have anything to do with a princess...much less marry one!

Han stomped off the ship and snatched up the last bag of supplies before rounding on his first mate.

"Will you shut up!" he hissed, "What's with your sudden ideas about 'happy ever after's'? Guys like us don't live 'happily ever after!'

"What about princesses?"

"Of course princesses get a good ending, that's why we have to—"

"Han, she thinks you're her happy ending!"

"Well she's wrong!"

Chewie shrugged.

Why doesn't anybody get it! Han wanted to scream.

He turned around to come face-to-face with Lando, who still had the most insufferable smirk on his face.

"Well?" Han growled.

"I'm leaving," Lando said simply, "I'm letting you two talk this one out."

"Lando, please don't leave me alone with her," Han pleaded, suddenly desperate.

"Good luck, Han," Lando called over his shoulder, "Hey Chewbacca, I think I've got some coffee in here, if you want some."

Chewie took the hint and followed Lando over to the sliding door.

"Chewie!" Han called.

"You're fighting a loosing battle Captain!"

"Chewie, please!" Han shouted.

But the Wookie and the human were gone; his two best friends abandoned him in his moment of greatest need.

Swearing, Han picked his bag back up and then, taking a deep breath, approached the Millennium Falcon.

A/N: Okay so I really did mean to wrap it up this chapter but I think we've got one more left…Please Review!
