Chapter 15: Plans [for the 1st date]
"Well, you guys, tomorrow there is an Alderaanian council meeting, will you come with me for it. This way if Threkin tries to bring up marrying me into the Senex you will be there."
"Ok-." Luke started to say, but stopped when Han raised a hand.
"Only if you agree to come with me on our first official date." Han said.
"Oh, you nerf-herder, yes."
"All right, then." Luke said, noticing that Leia and Han were making eyes at each other. "Lets go to bed, we will need our energy for Threkin, and the rest of the council meeting, because it is pretty early."
"Speaking of him, he was especially surly today, how come." Han asked
"Well, " Leia said, self-consciously, "I think that was my fault, see he told me last minute he had arranged a party, and I wasn't feeling like a party, I was missing you guys too much, so I told him I wasn't up to it. Then, I think his feelings were hurt when he saw that I came when you arranged a party."
"Well, good night." Han, Luke, and Leia said at the same time.
They broke out laughing when they realized that they'd spoken at the same time. Then they all went up to their respective apartments, in Leia's case room in the Alderaanian embassy, and fell asleep. Leia had not been sleeping well lately, but tonight, she fell asleep the moment she hit her bed.
The next morning Leia woke up with a start. "I am late." She shrieked. She rushed in getting ready, as the Princess Leia Organa was NEVER late. She still, though, made sure her hair was beatifically done, as that was one thing that the House of Alderaan was known for, there beautiful, heart-stopping, hair styles.
Leia met up with Luke and Han outside the room. "Leia, you didn't have breakfast." Luke said in a disapproving tone.
"All right, I didn't, I didn't have time."
Han snorted, "Yeah, since the chamber is half-empty, you do. And Luke, please, keep the protective big brother thing to a minimum"
"Here, I brought you some food." Luke said, ignoring Han knowing that he was joking, and giving Leia a sandwich he had made himself.
"Thanks." Leia said, eating it.
While Leia was eating Han sidled up to Luke, "You told the Duchesses to come half an hour late, right.'
"Yup, don't worry."
"What are you two whispering about." Leia said, glaring at them.
"Nothing." They answered in unison
