Sexual Tension.

Chapter 25

Han and Chewie are busily shutting down the engine and all electronic systems. Threepio, Leia and Nadia watched worriedly. "I'm going to shut down everything but the emergency power systems."

Obviously Threepio spoke up to that. "Sir, I'm almost afraid to ask, but... does that include shutting me down, too?"

Chewie barked "yes" But Han thought for a moment before turning to him. "No, I need you to talk to the Falcon, find out what's wrong with the hyperdrive."

"What are we going to do if it's completely down?" Nadia asked, sitting down on the chair.

Han smirked, "Well don't worry kid, we will look at that if it comes to it."

Suddenly, the ship lurched causing all the loose items in the cockpit to go flying. Chewie howled, as Nadia fell into him. "Sorry Chewie." There was a minutes silence as they listened to see if anything else would happen. "Sir, it's quite possible this asteroid is not entirely stable."

"Not entirely stable? I'm glad you're here to tell us these things. Chewie, take the professor in the back and plug him into the hyperdrive."

Threepio threw his hands up. "Oh! Sometimes I just don't understand human behavior. After all, I'm only trying to do my job in the most..." The sliding door closed behind the indignant Threepio as Chewie and he move back to the hold.

Suddenly, the ship lurches again, throwing Leia across the cabin into Han's arms. Nadia held on to the chair which prevented her from falling. Then, abruptly, the motion stopped as suddenly as it started. Han and Leia realize they are in each other's arms. Nadia smirked and watched them. "Let go."

"Sshh!" Leia flushed avoiding Nadia's smirking face. "Let go, please." Nadia smiled, she was not exactly fighting to get free.

"Don't get excited." The anger rose in Leia.

"Captain, being held by you isn't quite enough to get me excited." Nadia chuckled before looking away from them. He lifted her up and stood her back on the floor.

"Sorry, sweetheart. We haven't got time for anything else." Han grinned quickly wickedly at Leia as he turned and exited through the door. Leia's confused emotions showed clearly on her face.

Nadia stood up, "Wow, the sexual tension between you two is building up."

Leia shook her head. "I don't know what's wrong with me…" She knew what was wrong with Leia, she knew it all too well.

"Mother I don't why I'm feeling like this…" Nadia cried pacing up and down the hut.

Her Mother smiled gently and gave her daughter a hug. "Sweetheart, I think you two like each other. It's normal at your age to start feeling these things."

She pulled back from her hug with her Mother. "I think I like him. But why am I so confused it's like my head and my heart are screaming at me."

Her Mother laughed, "Well I think you need to speak with Luke, figure out your feelings together."

She nodded and smiled brightly, "Yeah I will. Thank you Mother." she quickly left to make her way to the Skywalker farm.

"Listen, Leia I know what you are going through. I went through the same thing when I started having feelings for Luke."

Leia shook her head, "I don't know why I like him, he's so annoying and so arrogant."

Nadia put her hands on Leia's upper arms. "But you know he's a good man. I know you'll figure it out. Just listen to your heart, not your head." She smiled and exited the door leaving a very confused Leia on her own.

The mist had dispersed a bit, but it was still a very gloomy-looking swamp. Luke pulled an equipment box from the shore to the clearing. He ignited a little fusion furnace and warms his hands before it. He took a power cable, he plugged it into Artoo's noselike socket. "Ready for some power? Okay. Let's see now, put that in there you go." The droid whistled his appreciation. Luke then opened a container of processed food and sat down before the thermal heater. "Now all I have to do is find this Yoda... if he even exists." He looked around the swamp nervously.

"Still... there's something familiar about this place. I feel like... I don't know..."

"Feel like what?" Luke jumped out of his skin. Artoo screeched in terror. Luke wielded around and grabbed for his lightsaber as he spinned around, looking for the speaker. He mysteriously stood right in front of Luke. He was a small green little creature, not more than two feet tall. The wizened little thing was dressed in rags. It motioned toward Luke's sword. "Like we're being watched!"

The little creature stood back. "Away with your weapon! I mean you no harm."

After some hesitation, Luke put away his weapon, although he really didn't understand why. Artoo watched with interest. "I am wondering, why are you here?" The creature asked.

Luke was still hazy about him. "I'm looking for someone."

"Looking? Found someone, you have, I would say, hmmm?" The little creature laughed.

"Right." Luke said trying not to smile.

The little creature hobbled forward. "Help you I can. Yes, mmmm."

"I don't think so. I'm looking for a great warrior."

"Ahhh! A great warrior." The little creature laughed, "Wars not make one great." With the aid of his walking stick, the tiny stranger moved over to one of the cases of supplies. He began to rummage around. Artoo moves to the edge of the case standing almost eye level to the creature who was carelessly handling the supplies and squeaked his disapproval. Their tiny visitor picked up the container of food Luke was eating from and took a bite.

Luke turned. "Put that down. Hey! That's my dinner!" The creature spat out the bite he has taken. He made a face. "How you get so big, eating food of this kind?" Luke took the container from him and the little creature reached into one of Luke's supply cases. "Listen, friend, we didn't mean to land in that puddle, and if we could get our ship out, we would, but we can't, so why don't you just..."

"Aww, cannot get your ship out?" he said in a teasing tone, before going into his supply case.

The creature spotted something of interest in Luke's case. Luke was beginning to lose his patience. The creature retained his prize a tiny power lamp and examined it with delight.

"Hey, you could have broken this." He put it on the case next to him then saw the creature take something out. "Don't do that. Ohhh... you're making a mess. Hey, give me that!"

"Mine! Or I will help you not." The little creature pulled back from Luke. He was clutching it like treasure, the creature backed away from Luke, drawing closer to Artoo. As Luke and the creature argued, one of Artoo's little arms slowly moved out toward the power lamp, completely unnoticed by the creature.

"I don't want your help. I want my lamp back. I'll need it to get out of this slimy mudhole." He threw the pieces of his food away.

"Mudhole? Slimy? My home this is." The little creature looked if possible mad. Artoo grabbed hold of the lamp and the two little figures are immediately engaged in a tug-of-war over it.

Artoo beeps a few angry whistles. "Ah, ah, ah!"

"Oh, Artoo, let him have it!"

The little creature grabbed a stick and started to hit Artoo. "Mine! Mine!"

"Artoo!" Luke protested again, it was like dealing with two bickering children. Force help me and Nadia if we have any children…
