Disclaimer:  You know I wished I owned Star Wars, but until Lucas decides to adopt me (unlikely since I'm like 19 and both my parents are alive), they're all his.  The "Duke" is slightly based on the Duke from the Moulin Rouge.  (Mostly just like the stature, but hey) So…I think that's it

A/N:  Okay, I'm sorry about taking so long. I didn't forget but homework had to take precedence. I'm glad you guys kept reading though!! Love you all.  This part is dedicated to everyone who said they wanted to see the two together…hehe.  OKAY I NEED TO HAVE 52 REVIEWS FOR THE NEXT PART!!!!

Broken Hearts, Shattered Dreams, Part 6.5 - Interlude

By Aleese Sundancer

            Mara smiled and kissed Luke passionately.  He kissed her back, and pulled her close, until eventually he had to rise for air. 

            "Mara, I love you." He whispered huskily, bending down for another kiss.  The kiss seemed to last for an eternity, and neither wanted it to end, even though both knew it would have to.

            "Luke, we have to hurry." Mara whispered, kissing his cheek over to his ear.  Luke moaned slightly, then let out a small chuckle.

            "No pressure on a man, eh?" he grinned. Mara swatted his side and moved to where he had been packing quickly stuffing things in his suitcase.  She laughed as he came around and put his arms around his waist. "Mara, I'm so glad you're here."

            "So am I Luke, but we have to get out of here quickly. He's going to be here any minute, and I need to get off planet." Mara said, closing his suitcase and locking it. "Lets go." She said, turning in his arms to kiss him again.  "Maybe now Skywalker?"

            "Alright, lets go." He sighed, taking the bag and following her out of the apartment, his Force senses aware at every moment for impending danger.  They jogged to the Hangar where Luke took Leia into his arms and hugged her. "Leia, I'll call when we're safe.  Take care of Han and the kids."

            "Of course Luke. Take care of Mara." Leia replied, nodding to Mara who was conversing with Allie by the ship, her head peering up with an assassin's instinct.  Mara nodded to him to get into the ship, and disappeared inside with Allie.

            "Take care Leia" Luke whispered, kissing her cheek then following Mara into the ship.

            Leia watched as the ship took off as the guards quickly escorted her off the platform. She couldn't take her eyes off the ship, and every fibre of her being told her that Luke would finally be happy with Mara in his life.  Disappearing back under the cover, she headed back for work.

            Sitting down at the small table, Luke smiled across at Mara.  She was radiant in that white dress, and he couldn't take his eyes off of her.  If he weren't already aware of her strong fear of commitment, likely increased by this incident, he would have told her to keep her wedding dress on at the next stop.  Unfortunately, he knew that she wasn't ready, and he was content to just enjoy her company.

            "Then Allie showed me the ship, and we were out of there." Mara finished, taking off her veil and putting it down on the table, studying the small diamonds.

            "I'm glad that Allie was there for you, and took such good care of you. I wish there were some way to repay her." Luke smiled, taking her hand.

            "Get married." Allie's voice came from behind him.  There was a hint of joy in her voice and Luke couldn't help but smile. Mara laughed and gripped his hands.

            "Maybe…" Mara whispered. She raised her eyes to his, silently begging for more time. He smiled and squeezed her hands back, reassuringly. 

            "Luke, I've heard so much about you." Allie said, sitting down on the third chair.

            Mara groaned and studied the landscape.  "No way am I living with a bunch of stupid bears."

            "Mara be nice, they're Ewoks and its just temporary until we know that they aren't hunting you.  Leia's going to plant the story that you were killed in hyperspace, and then we'll be safe to get married.  He wont be able to do anything once we're married." Luke explained, leaning against the tree. "Besides, they're nice enough and they'll love you, I'm sure of it."

            Mara groaned again at the thought of living even temporarily in a tribe full of fuzzy animals.  She hated even more the thought that Luke was right.  There was no way they'd think of looking for her here. 

            "But if they kill you Luke, then he can still marry Mara." Allie pointed out, picking a leaf out of her hair.

            Luke only sighed. "Fine then, why don't we just run in, guns blazing, and shoot them all."

            Mara grinned and wrapped her arms around him. "I'm sorry Luke, I know this isn't your ideal vacation either.  It'll be just like Mykkr."

            It was Luke's turn to groan, and then yelp as Mara poked him in the ribs. "Hey!"  Allie couldn't help but laugh, and finally they were all laughing and for the first time, enjoying their time away from civilization.
