The Millennium Falcon landed at one of the ports in Cloud City. Han's good friend Lando was waiting for him. "Welcome home buddy. You're alive." Lando said in surprise. "I thought Jabba the Hutt had disintegrated you." "I told you I would be alright. And, I got a new helper in the process." Han led Chewie out of the ship for Han to introduce him to Lando. The great wookiee growled growled and Lando looked nervous. "A wookie? but this is the great Chewbacca." Lando said. "You know who he is?" Han asked in shock. "Yes he was a great warrior in the clone wars but of course, you didn't do history research." Lando said in understanding. Chewie looked like he wanted to kill Lando. "Chewie of course still remembers me." Lando said. Han could tell. Many people could only have a murderous look on their face if they knew the person. Han looked at Lando for an explanation. Lando sighed "well if you really must know... Chewie and I met at a bar. We were playing a game of Jupp and.." Before Lando finished, Han Solo finished for him. "..he lost am I correct?" "well... yes, have you..?" "Yes I played a game with him." Han said. "He threatened me that he would pull my arms out of my sockets." Teesha was watching the whole scene. Finally, she cleared her throat to get their attention. "Are you done with your petty convo or do ya want to be caught by the Empire?" Lando and Han shut up. Lando suddenly realized that Teesha was there and he was staring at her in wonder. "You must be Teesha." Lando said looking as if he was in a trance "Han has talked a lot about you." "Has he?" Teesha said raising a eyebrow at Han. "What?" He said. "Han, what did you tell him?" She asked suspiciously. "nothing personal just your childhood.." Han said innocently. "Han that is personal! what story did you exactly tell him?" She said crossly. Lando and Han glanced at each other and burst into laughter. "Oh gosh not that story." Teesha said throwing her hands in the air. She hated that story. When she was about 6 years old she went to a rich neighborhood and wanted to hang out with the kids there 'cause they wore cool clothes. She had gotten rejected but it was because she had a weird accent. One of the boys asked her where she was from and she said Corellia. They thought she was a nutso and mimicked her accent in the most exaggerated way. She felt ashamed to ever go back there again. "shame on you." She said angrily. Han tried to control his laughter but couldn't handle it so he started laughing again. Chewie had no clue what was going on now. what are these people's problems? He thought.
When the immature gambler and the space pirate finished chuckling at the thought of her story, they went into the city. Teesha was astounded by the amazing city. The skyscrapers looked like they never ended. Everything was so advanced and modern. "now I know what I was missing." she said not able to take her eyes off the huge buildings. Since she was from a small poor town there wasn't much technology. "Welcome to the City of the clouds." Lando said to her. "more like the City in Heaven." she said clearly impressed. That made Lando proud. Han rolled his eyes. "now you're going to hear Lando brag. and trust me, it's not enjoyable." Han said to Teehsa. Lando looked angrily at him. "How dare you insult me! first you take my ship then now you mock me. How did I ever call you a friend?" Lando looked like he was going to explode like a volcano. Han grinned for a moment but then Teesha punched him in the arm. "Oww." He said rubbing where she had punched him. "Be nice to your friend. After all, he let you take the Millenium Falcon." Han shrugged and went silent for their walk around the city. Teesha gaped at every sight that she saw. It was amazing. Well, at least to her. Han never looked so bored. He kept yawning and asking if they were going to get their supplies yet for the journey. "will you relax for once old buddy? we'll get there soon enough." Lando said.
They finally went to get the supplies for their trip. They walked through dozens of secure doors and had to place several codes to get there. Finally they got to the room. It was a dimly lit room with ship parts and packages of food. "Here is for emergencies only. If someone found out what I was doing they would have my job." Lando said. "So we have to be careful." Han sneered at his friend. "trust me I've had plenty of experience with that. I can handle this better than anyone. It's just like smuggling. In fact, this is smuggling." "Yes we all know you're smuggling abilities Han. Let's see who's bragging now." Lando shot back. "Boys! lets not go into this silly charade again." Teesha getting tired of all this arguing. "now let's grab this stuff and get out of here. I don't like this place and I feel if we stay any longer that we'll get caught." Chewie had to agree with the pretty Corellian. He growled at them to be quiet and grab the stuff. "Alright Chewie we're getting the stuff." Han said pulling a sack of Hyperdrive chips from the box. Lando grabbed some packets of food and shoved them into a satchel. Soon enough they had plenty of the tools and meals to last them for months. Obviously it wouldn't take that long but it was good to have extra supplies just in case. They walked out of the building and went back to the ship. Teesha was sad to leave this place so soon. She took one last long look at it. Then she turned around and Lando and Han were arguing again. "Why don't you come with us?" Han asked. "I have plenty on my mind and I don't need the extra weight." Lando refused. "I thought you were an adventurous man Lando. It looks like I was wrong." Han sighed. "don't you start talking like that." Lando said. "I'm as adventurous as you are man." Han shook his head and looked up with his famous sideways smile "prove it." Lando rolled his eyes and shook his head. "alright you've got me convinced. What's the catch?" "Perhaps get killed by getting some serious info." Han said "not a better way to go." Lando said. His tone showed the complete opposite of his words. "Well what are we waiting for?" Teehsa said with her hands on her hips. "Let's go have a good time!" "Hardly what I would call a good time." Lando grumbled. Then off they went to go on a great adventure.
