"Come on guys. Let's go." Han said, motioning 3PO and Chewie out of the cockpit towards the ramp.

After they left, Han turned to me. "Look, Leia. I know that you're worried. Just trust me. He's an old friend of mine." I gave him a reassuring smile and then gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before turning sharply around and heading down the ramp, straightening out my gloves. I stopped at the bottom behind 3PO and looked at the closed door. There were no lights on or anything. I knew something bad was going to happen.

"Oh. No one to meet us." 3PO spoke up.

"I don't like this." I said, as 3PO moved from in front of me.

"Well, what would you like?" Han said, walking over to me.

I gave a depressing shrug of my shoulders and 3PO again chimed in. "Well, they did let us land."

Han of course ignored him and continued to focus on me. "Look, don't worry. Everything's going to be fine. Trust me." He said. I gave him a non-convinced nod. Yeah Right. I'm just going to stay back here by the Falcon just to make sure this Lando person is okay, even though I don't trust him. I haven't even met him, and yet I don't trust him.

Suddenly, the doors opened and a man walked out. He was dashing I guess, but no where are handsome or dashing as Han. He had darker skin and a long blue and gold cape that was swirling down by his feet. I would guess mid thirties. There were other people that were behind him. My guess would be guards for the baron of Cloud City.

"See? My friend." I gave him a sarcastic smile and he walked up to Chewie on who was further up the ramp and told him something that I couldn't hear.

Han starts down the ramp, and Lando stops about 10 feet away from him. They were eyeing each other very carefully. Lando looks down and then shakes his head. "Why you slimy, double-crossing no-good swindler! You've got a lot of guts coming here, after what you pulled." Han innocently points to himself and then mouths, "Me?" Lando moves threateningly towards Han. I swear if he hurts him….Han responds by putting up his fists in defense, and I could feel myself flinch towards him. Suddenly, he throws his arms around a startled Han and laughs.

"How you doing, you old pirate? So good to see you! I never thought I'd catch up with you again. Where you been?" He asks.

"Well, he seems very friendly." 3PO says, hobbling towards the 2 friends.

"Yes…very friendly." I warily say, uncrossing my arms and then walking after 3PO.

"What are you doing here?" Lando asks.

"Ahh…repairs." Han says, pointing towards the Falcon. "I thought you could help me out."

"What have you done to my ship?" he asks in panic.

"Your ship? Hey, remember, you lost her to me fair and square." Han says, and Chewie growls a "Hello." I walk up from behind him with the same annoyed look on my face.

Lando notices me and then smiles. "Hello. What have we here? Welcome. I'm Lando Calrissian. I'm the administrator of this facility. And who might you be?" He asks, taking my hand in his.

"Leia." I fake a smile.

"Welcome, Leia." He says, and he brings my hand up to his lips and kisses it. Good thing I'm wearing gloves. I glance over at Han, and I could swear I saw a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

"All right, all right, you old smoothie." Han says, pushing Lando away and grabbing my hand, steering me away from him.

"Han, I'm fine really." I whispered to him and our hands dropped.

"I don't trust him with you." He whispers back, and I reassuringly squeeze his hand, giving him a smile.

"What's wrong with the Falcon?" Lando asks Han as we enter the city.

"Hyperdrive."

"I'll get my people to work on it."

"Good." Han smiles at me, and Lando turns to me.

"You know, that ship saved my life quite a few times. She's the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy."

We walk down a white hallway with many different intricate pieces of art.

"How's the gas mine? Is it paying off for you?" Han asks him, and my hand slips to Han's fingers.

"Oh, not as well as I'd like. We're a small outpost and not very self-sufficient. And I've had supply problems of every kind, I've had labor difficulties…." Lando starts to ramble but then stops when he sees Han grinning like a fool at him. "What's so funny?"

"You. Listen to you-you sound like a businessman, a responsible leader. Who'd have thought that, huh?" He asks. Lando stops and grabs Han's arm. I almost trip up the steps at the abrupt halt, but Han tightens his grip on my hand. I look at Lando, and it seems that he's reflecting about the past.

"You know, seeing you sure brings back a few things." He says.

"Yeah." Han smiles and then Lando starts to talk again.

"Yeah. I'm responsible these days. It's the price you pay for being successful."

We continue to walk down the corridor, and Lando turns to corner.

"You all will be staying in one of the finest suites that we have here. Beautiful view." He says, stopping at a door and then searching through his pocket for a key. "Ah. Here we go." He slides it in the door and then hands it to Han. "It's a one bathroom, one bedroom, and a beautiful seating room suite."

"Wait." I said, looking up at Lando.

"Yes Leia?"

"There's only one bedroom." I said.

"And that's a problem?"

"We need two bedrooms."

"You're not a couple?" Lando blurted out, looking down at our hands. I dropped his hand like it was a hot plate.

"I meant for Chewbacca." I furiously said, my face turning a bright red.

"Oh. He can just sleep in the sitting area. There's enough space for him."

"If you need anything, just call." He said, smiling in the grin of death again and then leaving.

I walked into the room and sat down on one of the chairs. Han sat down on one next to me, and Chewie sat down in one across the room.

"So, Cub, bring back any memories?"

"Nope. Lando does, but this place? Nope." He sighed and then turned to me. "What are you thinking, Sweetheart?" He asked.

"I'm thinking about Luke. I wonder if he made it back to the fleet all right."

"I'm sure he did." Han sighed and wished not to talk about Luke.

"Well you two sure made an impression on Lando for being lovebirds. With him asking you if you were a couple and then holding hands the whole time in the hallway. He must think that Leia's just one of those girls that you're going to go out with for a little while and then dump, leaving them…"

"CHEWIE!!!" Han screamed at him, in a tone I've never heard him use. I was actually rather scared of him. "LEAVE! NOW!" He said, motioning towards the door.

He sighed and then scratched his head. "Uh, so sweetheart, What do you think about Lando?" he asked, moving his face closer to mine.

"Lando's charming, but I don't trust him." I said, turning my face the other direction so he wouldn't kiss me. I didn't want to be kissed. Not after what Chewie said about Han and the other girls he's gone out with.

"Trust him." He said, attempting to kiss me again.

"Why?"

"Trust him because he's my friend."

I laughed, and I let him kiss me. He makes me feel so intoxicated. When he leans down to kiss me, I can never push him away. I wrapped my arms around his head, pushing his lips harder against mine, and he wrapped his arms around my back, pulling my body closer to his. I began to search his mouth, and Lando all of a sudden barged through the door. "I forgot to tell you…." He started and then stopped. "Oh." I dropped my hands from Han's neck and I quickly pulled away from the kiss.

"Haven't you ever heard of knocking?" Han growled at Lando. I put my hands in my lap and looked down at them, fully embarrassed.

"I just forgot to tell you that we will provide you with meals, and dinner is in one hour. I thought that I could just walk in and you wouldn't be…well…you wouldn't be…kissing."

"You picked the wrong time." Han said, getting up and literally shoving Lando out the door. "Goodbye." He said, and then sat down next to me. "Now where were we?" He asked moving his face towards mine, and I just stood up and fled to the bathroom, closing and locking the door behind me.
