THE LEGACY OF CHEWBACCA - 5th part
"Come ooooon!!!" Leia shouted to their children as they wanted to leave for the Calrissians´ place. "When will Han be there?" Luke, who was not exactly in a very good mood, asked his sister. "Mmmmh...I think he´s just come back from his trip to Corellia, he´ll meet us later at the party........ANAKIN!! JAINA!! JACEN!!!!!!" At once the Solo-kids appeared in the doorway. "Ready, Momma!" 10-year-old Anakin shouted back to his mum. "Good! But you needn´t shout that loud", she told him, "come on, let´s go!" - "YIPPIIIEEEEH!" Anakin exclaimed and his older siblings rolled their eyes. "I don´t know why he recently keeps yelling that..." Jacen said. "Mmmh...maybe because of the prequels?" Jaina assumed. "Maybe..." her twin returned. Luke (who hadn´t had seen Episode 1 yet) gave Leia a questioning look but she just reminded them to leave for the baby-party...
When they entered they were welcomed by the Calrissians. "Ey, Luke, ol´ boy!" Lando exclaimed, "Mara and the kids are already here! A great boy, you have there and Chucky...well, I think it was just a single slip...Mara and Chewie, you know....so I wished you could be peaceful today and maybe talk later..." - "We´ll see", Luke answered calmly and then begged to be excused in order to see his son. Meanwhile Leia continued talking to the Calrissians. "How did Luke take it?" Lando´s wife asked her. "Mmmh....not very good....he´s very disappointed, you know", Leia answered, "nevertheless I thought it was the best for him to be at the party today too....I had to persuade him a long time but at last he agreed to come with us because he wanted to see Ben." - "Hopefully he won´t clash with Mara when he sees her..." Lando said worried and suddenly they could really hear Luke raise his voice and Leia felt her brother´s anger rise. At once all guests attending the party paid their attention to him and his interlocutor, who was no one else but....................Mara!
"What do you want, Mara?!" Luke asked - obviously very upset, "shall I just forgive you and forget everything?! Sorry, but that´s simply impossible!" - "But I didn´t mean to hurt you, Luke!! It was just that....nine months ago I was very often alone...as you were working at the academy....and so once Chewie suggested to go to a bar as he came to our appartment.....but I didn´t want to and so we got drunk at home... I really didn´t expect what happened next but then Chewie took me in his strong arms...." A loud 'uuuugh!!' could be heard from the crowd of people who were surrounding them and suddenly Luke yelled, "I don´t want to hear anything of that!!" and so Mara started to cry, "It was just one time...! When I woke up in Chewies arms the next morning..." - another 'uuugh!!' from the crowd - "...we noticed at once that we had made a big mistake, Luke!" - and with tears in her eyes Mara finished, "You must believe me!" Then there was a long silence in the room until Luke took the floor again, "How could you be just so irresponsible to sleep with a wookiee?! What if I....or Ben gets a venereal disease because of it...? It´s just unhygienic!!!" - "Hey, kid!" he could suddenly hear from the other end of the room, "don´t you see that she´s sorry...? I´m sure also Chewie would apologize to you..." Then the man, who had just entered the room, sniffed, "If he was still alive..." - "And can you tell me what I do get out of that, Han??" Luke returned, "how could you just sleep with that dreadful, furry oaf, Jade?!" he turned to his wife. "Ey!" Han shouted at him, "this is my best friend you´re talking about!" - "But I thought I was your best friend!!" - the crowd also moaned in a disappointed way - "Mmmh...well, Luke I.....eeerm....you know, I´d known Chewie much longer than you, and...." - "I see..." his brother-in-law said bitterly and went on the Calrissians´ balcony to be alone only to miss the sight of Leia hitting her husband with her handbag. Meanwhile Mara followed Luke on the balcony....
