Chapter 2: The start of the whole
thing.
"Han, what is it." Luke
Skywalker asked his friend, alarmed.
Han had sent Luke a holovid. Luke
was worried because Han looked totally beside himself, and Luke could sense Han
was going to ask him something... that was very hard for him to ask for.
"You know I have been off
fighting Zsinj, and, well, does Leia still love me."
Luke hid his smile behind his hand,
he had been talking to Leia a few minutes ago and it was Han this, Han that.
"Why." Luke asked joking with him.
Han looked at his feet. "I want
to marry her." he said, gathering his courage, and then misinterpreting
Luke's look "look, I know she is some big princess, and me a smuggler, but
I LOVE HER. I love her more then life, you've got to help me. You are her
brother, and so you can help me."
Luke laughed," this is the same
Han Solo who almost let Leia get executed."
Han blushed, there was nothing he
could say to that. "Hey, Luke, so will ya do it." He asked, anxiously.
"Naturally, buddy."
"THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH."
Luke hesitated, he knew that if Leia were there, she would chide him for the
lack of diplomacy in the comment he was about to make. "Han, I think we
had better work on what you could give her. Not because of Leia, because of her
duty unto the people of Alderaan. Threkin Horm could present a problem
otherwise and you know Leia is loyal to her people. Plus, he doesn't like you
to much."
Han grimaced, he knew it all to well, Threkin kept trying to separate him
and Leia.
"So what is your idea on that." Han asked.
"Well, I will understand if you
call this a totally out of it idea, but what if you win a planet in a Sabbac
game, there are holo's (pictures) of Alderaan, and we can probably dress the
planet up to look something like it"
"Great idea, kid." Han
said, "but lets keep it a secret from Leia.
Luke didn't think it was possible as
Leia was also honing her Jedi skills, but, nevertheless he agreed.
Luke loaned Han a little money, he
insisted that he only needed a little.
"Han, good luck." Luke said.
"Thanks, but I won't need it."
Han said. "After all, Sabbac is my game."
"May the force be with you."
"Yea whatever.
Take care." Han said, waving and walking off.
