Chapter 2
The tour started after a remarkably uneventful breakfast. Lando showed them
some of the rides and some attractions like one where you can visit any
place
that had ever existed. Luke showed Mara and Ben the Lars homestead how it
was
before the empire burned it, Leia gave the whole family a tour of Alderaan.
"Uncle Lando what's that big line for?" Denna asked as she spotted a line extending farther than any of the others.
"That is the Meet a Celebrity area. You can have conversations with Holograms based on such figures as your aunt and Uncle and grandparents. You want to see what they talk about?" He answered. "If you want you can even over ride the programming on your booth and actually have a conversation with these people."
"Sounds interesting. Did you program them cause if I sound like a Nerf Herder I'll beat you all the way back to your apartment." Han growled out at Lando.
They made their way to the controls for the holograms. They watched the conversations which consisted of some of the wierdest things. Mara was ticked when she took over the controls and some guy came up to have his conversation.
"Hello Mara. My name is Clyde." The man told her.
"Well hi. What do you want to talk about?" she responded.
"How about I tell you what I think of some people. Personally i think your husband that idiot Jedi is not good enough for you. I think I can match your skills a lot better because after all you aren't a very good pilot from what I've heard. Of coarse I think I'm better than your husband too so that isn't really a surprise."
This made Mara mad. He not only insulted her but he insulted Luke. Luke felt her anger. He glanced up at her as she locked a death stare at whoever she was talking to.
"I don't know where you get your information but you are way off there. And for your information if you continue to insult Luke I will make sure you don't do it again. Same goes for if you ever say a word about my son."
"What are you going to do? You are a bad shot, a horrible flyer, and you couldn't beat me up if I had one hand behind my back. And as for the little brat you call a son he's just as stupid as that husband of yours. Just thought you ought to know." He paused when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
Luke stood behind the man and had heard that last insult. "Did I just here you insult my son and my wife? Not to mention you insulted me. You know you should actually use that pea sized brain of yours and think before you speak. For example this conversation could have been recorded and shown to us as we are friends of the owner of Hologram Fun land. It is recorded but you weren't speaking to a hologram that was my wife."
Mara came up from behind. "So you think our skills aren't all that they seem? Why don't we have a little contest to see who is the better skilled one? First lets move this conversation to another time and place. Meet us at the administration building in half an hour. Bring whoever else you think can beat us at a contest of skills."
She turned on her heel and began to walk off. Luke followed suit. Mara turned around. "Unless you want me to think that you are scared you were wrong." she called back then disappeared.
Forty five minutes later.
"So you are agreed you want to have a competition. You have to be fair and give me a week to organize this thing and maybe get a few more competitors. I will also get a fair group of judges by then. Let's have a few different events. How about six events, which will make it about a week long event. We can have one week with duo events and one week with single events. That gives everyone time to bet to. Here," he placed two datapads in front of the group. "put your name down on whichever week you want to compete. This one is for partner and this one is for independent. Before you ask yes you can put your name on both just please put who your partner is on the list." Lando negotiated between the two groups.
After everyone in the room signed Lando ushered the others out and brought the family in. He quickly went over what happened. The whole family signed up on both lists with the exception of the children who could not compete because one of the evens required the handling of a weapon.
A/N: I know its short but the next chapter starts the competition. Heh heh. Oh some of the matches are on purpose others are completely random. (really I drew names out of a hat.) either way there are some interesting pairings so you'll enjoy the next chapter. Anyway I hope I update soon. Review more and I might update more.
