Damani opened her eyes slowly. The blinding light of the fire in front of her seeping its way into her eyes. When her eyes adjusted, she looked around the small cave she was in, a small opening to her left, and the rain pouring over the top of it. Han came in through the mouth of the cave, soaking wet and another shadow behind him, trudging its way through the mud and rain. When they reached the cave, the second shadow appeared to be a wookie of about seven feet tall.

"Well it's your fault fuzz butt," said Han. The wookie chirped back at him in anger, apparently frustrated over something.

"Han," said Damani, "What's wrong?" Han looked over at her.

"I'll tell you what's wrong," he said, "This numbskull left the Falcon out in the rain. Now she's wet and the exhaust port is filled with water. It's gonna be at least four days till' we get out of here," Damani nodded slowly, only understanding half of what he had said.

"Who's the Falcon?" she asked first. The wookie chirped at her as though she should already know what they were talking about. They started arguing again, Han was saying things like 'that's no way to talk to a lady!' and the wookie would growl at him.

They pushed each other around for about two minutes then turned back to her. Han apologized for fighting in front of her,

"Well I'm not your everyday kind of lady," she said standing, without ease. Her legs hurt where she had hit them on the ground and her head was still pounding since she had been kicked. The wookie introduced himself as Chewbacca, friend of Han Solo and co-pilot of the Millennium Falcon.

"We came to Coruscant just to re-fuel," explained Han, "Then I told Chewie that I had heard of this great pub just a mile into the city. I told him I was going to get a drink and that he needed to stay with the ship, well you could only guess what happened next. The rain started and he came back from walking around to find the exhaust port halfway full with water; he tried to start it but it didn't do much, so he waited for me to get back, and when I did he showed me the port. Boy, was I put in a mood for that wet walk back here,

Anyway, I realize your desperation to get of this planet, you know with the Jedi chasing you and all that other stuff you must deal with. I personally, do not want to be caught up in this or be blamed for bailing you outta here. Therefore, I devised a plan, we dress up as Jedi, fake our identity into the temple, tell the council that you are dead and get the heck out of this place! It is foolproof! What do you think?" Damani sighed and looked down at the fire,

"I'll never work," she said, "Besides, I am not going back into the temple, ever again," Han nodded and turned away for a moment.

"Well you know we could-" he stopped himself, "Never mind," Damani turned to face him,

"We could what?" she said letting her blanket fall off her shoulders.

"No, I said never mind," said Han.

"What is it?"

"Nothing,"

"Tell me, Han,"

"We could, I don't know," he stuttered, "It might sound silly, but, we could, er, blow up the Temple?" Damani hesitated to answer,

"Your right," she said flipping her hair, "It is silly. Crazy, maybe even, unfathomably silly," Han nodded and turned back to Chewbacca. Damani sat down again and leaned against the rock wall, tired and distraught.

"Han," she said. Han turned and looked into her eyes.

"What's wrong?" he asked suddenly, "I can tell by your eyes,"

"The Jedi," she said, "At the cave," Han turned around and saw a dark figure walking towards the cave. He cursed and reach for his blaster, "Han, no!"

"Well what do I do then?" he whispered, "Am I just supposed to submit myself to a Jedi?" Damani held up her hand. She thought for a few minutes then looked back at Han.

"Tell him I'm dead," she said, "Tell them that they killed me in an effort to save me, yeah. Tell them that Han, tell them, now!" Damani let her head drop as Han turned around and walked to face the Jedi, Mace Windu. Mace entered the cave and looked from Han to Damani.

"What happened?" he asked Han. Han walked forward to face Windu.

"You killed her," said Han, "Really put her down. I guess that little rescue mission of yours turned out to be a death mission,"

"I doubt that," said Mace, "You look like a bounty hunter who's after some credits. So you killed her, thinking there was a bounty on her head, well I tell you now, there isn't and there never was going to be one, she is a Jedi, and we don't put bounty's on Jedi,"

"Yeah you're right," Han lied, "I killed her, and I don't want to be-" Mace grabbed Han by his shirt and threw him across the cave. Han landed on the hard stone floor, but was back up in an instant, reaching for his blaster, and jumping over the fire. Mace had his lightsaber drawn and was ready to fight Han if he came close to the idea of shooting at him.

"You might have killed one Jedi tonight," yelled Windu, "But that was your last kill!" Mace sprung forward, swinging his blade at Han's head. However, here Han had the advantage, whereas Windu had his arms spread far apart. Han shot repeatedly into Mace's chest, making him fall to the ground and stagger to get back up.

"Don't move Jedi," said Han, pointing his blaster straight at his head, "Or so help me I'll shoot your head clean off that lovely neck of yours," Mace out his hands up, but only to have his lightsaber come to his hand and Han's blaster be cut in half. He cursed and ran to Damani, who whispered ever so slightly for him to take her lightsaber off her belt and fight him off.

"Don't kill him Han," she whispered, "Just make him leave," Han nodded and jumped forward, Damani's lightsaber swooshing open in his hand.

"I'll make work of you yet," he said walking towards Mace, "No leave, or else," and Mace left the cave without another word.
