I watched Chewie leave, and I stood up and started to pace around the hut.

I am too a good boyfriend!

I was the one who wanted to save her, I was scared to death that she may be dead by the time that we find her when Luke came back without her!

She's the LOVE OF MY LIFE, what am I supposed to do?

I wrote Mon Mothma that letter that said if she fired Leia, then she'd have to fire me too. I mean, how great a boyfriend can I be?

Oh, forget Chewie, I am a good boyfriend.

I ran my fingers through my hair and then stepped out of my hut. It was a cool night, and there was a faint breeze. The 'streets' of the village were deserted, and there was no one in sight. I walked over to where I left Leia, sitting on the bridge, and saw her sitting down with her knees to her chest, looking up at the sky,

Goddess, she looks so beautiful. The wind is pushing her hair in exactly the right way, oh goddess.

"Hey." I said, walking up to her. She looked up at me and gave me an awkward moment.

"Hi." She meekly said.

I sat down next to her and then took her hands in mine. They were ice cold.

"You okay?"

She looked at me, and then shook her head. "No. I'm not."

"Listen, Leia, I'm sorry, I really am. I know that this may be hard on you, but you have to listen to me, okay?"

She nodded her head. "Okay."

"Okay." I smiled, and then put her hands in my lap. "Leia. This is hard on you. I know it is. The person who is your father is the person who nearly killed you, and even though I barely knew my parents, I feel your pain worse than mine."

She nodded her head slowly, and then bent it down to the ground.

"Leia? Leia, look at me." I said, taking one hand off of hers and then lifting her face up until her eyes met mine. I put my hand back on top of hers before I continued. "Leia, seeing you cry really…"

"Hits your soft spot?" Leia asked me, giving me a faint smile.

I grinned at her. "Yeah, it hits my soft spot. I feel for you Leia, I do. Now just forget about it, okay? Hold on Sweetheart. Come on, let's go to bed, I'm getting tired, and I can't even imagine how you feel."

"I can't go to bed."

"Why not?" I asked her, trying to resist the urge to roll my eyes.

"I'm not going to be able to sleep." She said, letting her legs straighten out as she scooted over to me and laid her head on my shoulder.

"Without me?" I grinned mischievously.

"I don't think that I'll be able to sleep even with you." I thought back to during our voyage to Bespin.

"Good…" She trailed off and gazed into the stars. "When I was a kid, I used to look at the stars all the time and wonder what was on the other planets out there. I would lie out on the balcony of my room when I couldn't sleep and count all of the stars I saw before I fell back asleep." I got up from in back of her and picked her up, sitting down into the seat, placing her carefully on my lap. She leaned up against my chest, resting her head on my shoulder, the top of her head barely touching my neck. "I miss it. I miss the palace I lived in. I miss my father. I miss my mother. I miss everyone on Alderaan. The stars were always the prettiest on Alderaan. They were always the brightest." She breathed deeply, and cuddled into me. "It's my fault, isn't it?" She asked.

"What?"

"It's my fault they're dead. It's my fault everything on Alderaan is dead."

"No! Oh goddess no Leia! It's not your fault at all. It's the empires fault."

"It's mine. I know it."

"Leia! No! It's not your fault. Talk about something else."

"I wonder what Luke would think." Leia smiled.

"Think about what?" I asked, a confused look plastered on my face.

"Think about you and me…us."

"Oh. I don't know. I know that kid did harbor strong feelings for you, but he always thought since the day we met that we should be together."

"Really?"

"Yes, sweetheart." Leia smiled at me and then looked back at the stars.

"I miss them. I miss the brightest stars."

"Do you want to count them?"

She smiled. "I'd love to count them."

I grinned at her and then wrapped my arms tightly around her.

"I know something that can help you sleep."

"What?" She asked me, the tears drying from her face.

"Do you want to count the stars with me?"

She grinned. "I'd love to count the stars."

"1…2……3…..4…..5…6….." We counted before falling asleep in each others arms.

Just felt like being nice and updating tonight. I have absolutely NOTHING to do, so I'm going to be nice and let you actually have 2 chapters before I leave, yes, I'm still doing one tomorrow. This is just a little chapter I whipped up tonight.
