Disclaimer: I don't own the characters. I wish I did, but I don't. Not making money from this. I don't have any money, so if you sue me, you'll probably get a couple of movies, and that's it, unless you want my cat, Anastasia.

Author's Note: Well, I haven't updated in oh, three months or so. I have no excuse. What can I say, I'm lazy. Its not that I don't want to write the story, I do. I know where its going (in the near future, at least), so that's not it either. Nope, I'm just extremely lazy.
Anyway, thank you to all the people who have actually been reading this story. And a special thanks to those that have been reading it since the beginning which was what, a year ago? Eight chapters in one year. That's crappy. I promise I'll try to get more updates in before school starts again. Also, I'm looking for a beta right now so forgive the mistakes. When the story is done I'm going to go through and edit-BIG TIME. But with me, that could take twenty years. I'm such a procrastinator. Well, on with the story...

The twins waited in a heavy silence for the stormtroopers to come back and escort them to the med-center. Both of their minds were swimming trying to find ways to dig themselves out of the situation they'd gotten themselves into. None of the possibilities could ever work. There was only one solution.

"Jaya," Jacen began, "you're going to have to go with Vader."

"What? How can you even think that I would ever do that!?!"

"What else can we do? Besides, Vader said that I was going with mom and Chewie, right?"

"Yeah."

"So I can get them to help us. Especially after I talk to Uncle Luke. You know that he'll want to help us out, we're Jedi. You've heard the stories about how much he searched for other Jedi."

"After the war. And besides, who says you'll even have the chance to talk with them? If you join the Rebellion, they might just put you on clean up duty!"

"If I join? What, do you think that I'll stay with the Empire?" Jacen asked, unbelievingly.

"That's not what I meant. Do you know how long we'll be here? Mom and Dad could pop up right now and take us home."

"You're joking, right?"

"Why would I be?" Jaina asked.

"I seriously doubt they'll find another time portal machine thing. They might not even know what happened. Mom and Chewie and Uncle Luke might not know we're missing. Jabba might have...might have...."

"Killed Dad?"

"Yeah." Jacen mumbled meekly. "We might end up living the rest of our lives in the past."

"At least we'll know how it all turns out though." Jaina stated sarcastically.

"Not necessarily."

"What do you mean by that?" Jaina inquired as she slowly turned her head toward him
"Well, how much has our presence here changed things? How much will it change? There's no way of telling. We're just as blind to what's going to happen next as everyone else is."

Jaina laughed with despair. "So basically you're saying not only are we completely and utterly screwed, were are completely and utterly screwed squared."

"Yeah, pretty much."

"That's comforting, very comforting."

"I try to help."

The two sat in an uneasy silence.

"He doesn't want you at all. He's after somebody called Skywalker."

"Luke?"
"Lord Vader has set a trap for him."
"And we're the bait."
"Well, he's on his way."
"Perfect. You fixed us all pretty good, didn't you? My friend!"

"Get up scum." The stormtrooper barked at the two prisoners.

Knowing that all they could do was comply with the order Jaina and Jacen slowly rose to their feet. They looked at eat other, silently trying to send strength to somehow ease the situation they were in. Both twins knew that what was about to happen and most certainly did not look forward to it.

"Come on, lets get them to the freezing chamber and finish this."

Jaina and Jacen's sense of foreboding grew with each step they took. They knew that all too soon they would be witnessing firsthand what had always brought fear and pain to their father's eyes. The knowledge weighed heavy on their minds as the silently trudged toward the room.

This time around Jacen made a mental map of the corridors as they passed through them. 'Not that I'll have to escape from here again. Hopefully.' He looked over at his sister to see if he could figure out what she was thinking. Her face was unreadable. He knew, though, that when her face was expressionless, she was either scared beyond belief or trying to keep her anger in check.

He nudged her gently with his left elbow. She looked over at him and he gave her an 'are you gonna be okay' look. She replied by mouthing 'are you nuts'. Jacen nodded. Despite herself Jaina smiled, but it faded all too quickly.

A new sense of helplessness overwhelmed the twins as they approaching the freezing chamber. They watched with a strange sense of anticipation as a stormtrooper keyed the door open and they were shuffled in. Their eyes took every last detail around them.

Leia watched as two more people were brought into the room. She wondered who they were and what they had done that Vader wanted them here. Her thoughts were cut short as said Sith lord began to respond to something that the bounty hunter had said

"The Empire will compensate you if he dies. Put him in!" The mindless drones called stormtroopers began to drag Han toward the freezing pit when suddenly a thought occurred to Vader and he ordered them to stop. "Wait! Take Solo and the Princess back to their cell. They will remain here on Bespin for now."
Han and Leia looked at each other, both extremely confused. Jaina and Jacen were no better.
"Vader, you said that Captain Solo would come with me!" Boba Fett interjected. "How can I collect his bounty when I don't have him with me?"
"Your petty greed does not worry me." Darth Vader responded coolly.
"It should." Fett replied as he pulled out his blaster and attempted to shoot the dark lord, much like Han had earlier.
Vader, obviously angered at the bounty hunter's insolence threw the blaster from his hand and wrapped tendrils of the force around his heart. The pressure did not allow it to beat and Boba Fett's lifeless body slid to the ground.
"Bring the boy to the pit." Immediately, the stormtroopers responded.
Jacen looked around disbelievingly. Surely this was not happening. He unconsciously looked over to his parents for help. He saw a great deal of sympathy from his mother and genuine relief shining in his father's eyes, but no intentions of help from either of them. He was disappointed, but understood why they would not help.
The last thing Jacen saw before he was frozen in carbonite were his sister's terror filled eyes.
