Chapter 2
According to Alderaan customs, an engagement ball takes place the night before the wedding. It is
going to be the highlight of the social season. People from all across the galaxy want to attend but
only a special few can attain an invition.
And at this moment a very nervous Han Solo wished that he was one of the people that didn't have
to go. Han has never been that comfortable around society types except, of course, Leia. "Leia" he
thinks to himself. "What did he ever do to deserve her." His musing are interrupted by a knock on
the door. He opens the door to reveal Chewie. He growls a greeting to him. "Yea I'm almost
ready just need to get this bow tie on than I'm all set." Han quickly ties it.. Glances at his reflection
in the mirror. "Not too bad." He says as he runs his fingers through his brown hair. "Okay I'm set.
Let's go get the Princess." He and Chewie head in the direction of the Leia's apartment.
Leia sits at her dressing table placing the finishing touches to her hair and makeup. She glances at
the clock. "It almost time" she smiles. She looks down at her ring. Remembering the night that
Han proposal to her. How nervous he was.. How handsome he looked.. It's a night that she will
never forget. She will remember it until her dying day.. She walks out onto the balcony. So lost in
her memories, she doesn't hear the door open. A cloaked figure enters the room. Silently,
BlackPrince makes his way to her. He places his hand over her mouth as he inject her with a
sleeping drug. She falls backwards into him.. He places her unconscious body over his one
shoulder. As they are leaving the apartment he bumps into C-3PO . "Sir, what are you doing!!."
C-3PO asks. Not wanting to answer him. He pulls out a hidden blaster and shots the droid. Pieces of
C-3PO scatter about the hallway.
The Prince makes his way up to the landing plat form that is located on the rooftop of Leia's
building. As he enters the shuttle, his men have already gotten clearance from Coruscant Security
and prepare to lift off.
As Han and Chewie turn the corner, they call smells the ooze of a freshly shot blaster. Chewie spots C-3PO golden head near the stairway that leads to the platform. He growls to Han. Sinking feeling form in the pit of his stomach as he runs up the stairs. He reaches the platform in time to see the shuttle lifting off heading into twilight sky.
