Disclaimer: Yeah, you know which one's are Lucas's and which ones are mine. If not, ask and I'll clarify for ya.

A/N: Okay, ONCE AGAIN BECAUSE SOMEONE WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION: I do not DEMAND a number of reviews to continue writing. INFACT for the part you read, I posted it BEFORE I hit any specific number of reviews. PLEASE, IF YOU WANT TO GET ON MY CASE, AT LEAST DO YOUR RESEARCH. For goodness sakes people, you're killing my goodness in humanity. Immature…**sigh**

To all those people who are feeling depressed about my story, it'll get better, I'm not a cruel person by nature (well maybe cause of my stupid Poli-sci teacher who practically failed me on my term paper but lets not get into that).

This part is dedicated to the four Canadian Soldiers that were killed by Friendly (American) fire in Afghanistan, and those who were wounded. My heart goes out to you, God Bless.



1 Broken Hearts, Shattered Dreams, Part 13

By Aleese Sundancer

The Duke sighed as his servant escorted in a few police officers.

"What can I do for you kind sirs?" He said, standing up and taking their hands. They didn't smile at his greeting, or even acknowledge the formalities.

"We have been summoned to bring you to the planet of Naboo, to face divorce proceedings and possible rape charges." The officers said, their expressions never changing.

"That's absurd. My wife is here with me, and wouldn't have filed any such charges or papers. We were married only a couple of days ago." The Duke said, ushering them to the door. "I'm sure you have the wrong man."

"Sir, if you do not come with us to the ship, we will be forced to arrest you. We are certain we have the right man." The officers said, one of them bringing out his set of binders.

"Perhaps you should go check your records, this is impossible." The Duke said, stepping away angrily. "MARA!" He shouted up the stairs.

Mara sighed as she heard her 'wonderful' husbands bellows. "Yeah?" She called back.

"Get your lovely little behind down here." He called back. She sighed again and got off of her couch, and went to the top of the stairs.

"There is no chance in hell I'll cook for you, I've told you that already." She said, and then noticed the police. Slowly walking down the stairs, she eyed them.

"These wonderful men have just informed me that you've filed some divorce proceedings and some rape charges." He said, glowering at her. "How did you manage to do that without use of the comm. love?"

Mara puzzled, she hadn't done it…then how… "Luke!" She whispered. The Duke heard her small whisper and Mara could almost see the smoke come out of his ears.

"SKYWALKER?" He screamed at her. Forgetting the police, he slapped her across the face. The police immediately took a hold of him and put the binders on.

"Madame, do you wish to continue your proceedings and add an assault charge?" One of the officers said, holding him tight.

"Like Hell she would, let me go!" The Duke said, before Mara could answer, his voice muffled by the wall.

"Yes, I would. Please take him away." Mara said rubbing her face. "Get him out of my sight."

"Of course madam, we will meet you on Naboo in the next 24 hours. Please stay with Mr. Luke Skywalker, he has arranged everything, or so we were told." The officer said, while the other carted off the Duke.

"Thank you officers…thank you." Mara said, sitting down on the stairs and bursting into laughter. Luke had done it…she was free.

Luke let out a breath of relief at the news that the Duke had been taken into custody and was on-route to Naboo. Mara was also on-route, and Luke could feel her sense of joy at returning to him. He was pretty sure if she could break the laws of astrophysics, she WOULD be there. Luke laughed at the thought.

"She's on her way." Leia said, coming into the room.

"I know." Luke said. "Everything is in order?"

"Of course. I was up all night with the lawyers, but its foolproof." Leia smiled, and only now had Luke noticed the dark rings under her eyes. Luke had been sent to rest after feeling everything that had happened to Mara, and hadn't been much help to Leia. Despite his attempts, Leia seemed to want to handle it, giving the excuse that it was her wedding gift to the two of them. Luke couldn't help but smile at his sister's acceptance of the former assassin into their family.

"Thank you Leia, for everything." Luke whispered, and pulled her into a brotherly hug. She hugged him back.

"Hey, you've saved my neck enough times, I figure you deserve it." Leia whispered, holding him close. Their mother walked in and smiled at the display of love between the two, and felt her heart jump to her throat. What she'd missed all those years….
