A/N: I finally got an idea for a new chapter for this story. Most of my ideas come from my own dysfunctional family. But I got a pretty good idea from listening g to my parents last night. They don't always say the nicest things about are neighbors. I started thinking, "What if the neighbors could hear them now?" My parents would be in for a world of embarrassment, that's for sure!
Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars. The Arnettes are based on what my parents say about my neighbor sometimes. No disrespect meant toward either of them.
The next week, the Solo household was back to normal. Yeah right! The Solos had been invited to a dinner party at their neighbors, the Arnettes' apartment. The Arnettes were loud, annoying, and couldn't take a hint if it bit them.
Thanks to Leia's diplomatic instincts, and Han's inability to defy his wife, they accepted the invitation. That night, Anakin was asleep in the Arnettes' master bedroom, Jaina and Jacen were watching a video in the living room, and Han and Leia were sitting on the loveseat in the sitting room, listening to the Arnettes blab on about what seemed like nothing for what seemed like hours to them.
"And then Penny ended up eating Jenny's food!" Mrs. Arnette giggled. "You should have seen the look on that little Taun Taun's face!"
Mr. Arnette's nasal laugh awoke Han from his fantasy about being on a beach somewhere with Leia right now. He heard Leia's forced laughter and nodded, pretending to be listening.
Suddenly, Anakin's wail came over the baby monitor next to Han. "Uh-oh, the baby's cr-" Leia started, but Han had already jumped up.
"I'LL GO!" he shouted, sprinting toward the master bedroom. He was almost at the door when he felt Leia's voice brush against his mind.
"I'll get you for leaving me here!" she growled through the Force. Han shivered. Sometimes she really creeped him out.
oooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo
"Hey there, Big Guy!" said Han, picking up a whimpering Anakin. "It's ok! There's nothing to cry about. At least you're not out there with the Arnettes." Anakin wore the same expression Leia wore when she was confused. Han laughed, then continued.
"Talk about a couple of windbags! Yak, yak, yak. That's all they do. They haven't shut up since we sat down! And what do they talk about? Nothing! For a second, I thought it might be possible to die from boredom. You saved Daddy's life!" He spun Anakin around. Ani giggled.
"Plus, have you ever looked at the Arnettes?" Han went on. "How do weird looking people find each other? I swear, it's-" Han was suddenly silenced by the sight of Leia in the doorway.
Her cheeks where flushed crimson from anger, her hands belled into fists, and she looked ready to throw something. "What's wrong?" Han asked.
Leia picked up the baby monitor and threw it directly at Han's head with remarkable aim. It bounced off his head and hit the floor. "Ow!" he yelped, rubbing the spot the baby monitor hit. "What was that for?"
Leia just glared and pointed at the fallen baby monitor. That's when Han noticed the little orange light. "THE BABY MONITOR'S STILL ON?"
A/N 2: I'm going to Honduras for a week with my youth group tomorrow, so I'd like some reviews before I leave. And since you probably already knew this was coming, XOXOXOXOXOXOX
