This is something I wrote like six years ago. If you hate it, I don't care. I don't own Star Wars. Only Lana, Michael, and this storyline.

Part 6

Mara waited on board the Jade's Fire, Luke and Lana walked in together, with Michael behind them. Luke and Lana?' Mara thought to herself. She felt as something had vanished right then, I'm jealous!' She couldn't believe it. But of who? Lana or Luke?'

Mara led them to the cockpit.

Where are we going? asked Lana.

I'm going to drop you three off at Coruscant and I am going to secure a business transaction, Mara replied.

They spent three days in hyperspace. When they arrived it was nighttime. Luckily, Mara had gotten clearance to Leia Organa's private landing platform. As Lana came down the ramp she saw two people and a droid. The droid was busily arguing with the man, his golden plating gleamed from Coruscant's many lights. The woman was trying to ignore them and met Lana at the bottom of the ramp, She shook her hand and smiled warmly.

Lana, right? she asked. She had on a beautiful, blue dress, that glittered in the moonlight.

Yes, and you?

Leia Organa Solo.

Oh yes, Lana replied,I remember Luke telling me about you. I am so very glad to meet you. By this time the man and the droid had joined them and Luke, Michael, and Mara were coming down the ramp.

I'm Han Solo, said the man and shook hands.

And I am See- Threepio, Human Cyborg Relat- began Threepio.

I think she's heard enough, Han cut in.

Well, really, said Threepio and walked away all huffy.

she said to Han,I never really had much use for droids, I did everything myself.

Me too, said Han.

Maybe we had better go inside, said Luke cutting off all conversation. Leia nodded and they all headed inside.

Mara had left for her business transaction. Michael was talking to Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin, who were introduced as Leia and Han's children. Lana and Han were deep in conversation. Though they had come from completely different worlds, Han and Lana were alike in many ways. Over in the corner, Threepio was busily conversing with a barrel shaped droid, named R2- D2. Luke and Leia were in the kitchen fixing cups of stim tea.

Luke, you like her don't you?asked Leia.

Well, I, wouldn't exactly say-

Luke stop trying to cover it up, it is apparent to me. So, she said moving to another subject,What are you two doing tomorrow?

Lana wants to go see the Imperial Palace.

Really, why?

I don't think you want to know.

Try me, said Leia, turning to Luke.

She wants to see her old room were she stayed.

Stayed when?

When she was training under father. Leia, Luke said turning to her,she's Palpatine's daughter.

Leia gasped,Luke, why? Of all the people in this galaxy, Palpatine's daughter?

Leia, we came from Vader.

Yes, but he crossed over before he died. Oh yes, she said throwing her hands up in the air,How appropriate, Palpatine's daughter and Vader's son together. It's picture perfect.

Leia, please don't say anything, Luke said.

Leia stopped and looked at him. She could see the silent pleading in his eyes. He really does love her,' she thought. All right, Luke, but just be careful.

I will, he said with a smile and took the tray of tea into the other room.

I just hope he knows what he's doing,' she thought.
