A couple of months later....
Diamond woke up one morning more cheerful than usual.
"Why are you so happy?" Han asked.
"Today's August, 5th. Today's my birthday! I'm eight today!!" the Mire answered.
"Eight? I remember when I was eight and started third grade...I got beat up," Han said
Diamond roller her eyes.
-Hanlet had a problem with making friends- Chewie said walking into the room.
"HANLET?!?!" the Mire asked in shock.
"Um...that's my full name," Han said looking very embarrassed.
The girl couldn't help herself, she burst out laughing.
Han gave her a dirty look.
"Uhhh....I gotta go get dressed," she said, looking for any excuse to leave and she ran out.
-Ya know? Maybe we should do something for, Di-
"You're right," Han agreed and thought for a minute.
"I've got the perfect idea. Chewie set the course for the Tatoinne system!"
"Guys why do I need to wear this bandana over my eyes?!?" Diamond asked being lead out of the Falcon by Han.
"Just a few more steps, runt," they walked a little farther, "Okay, take it off,"
Diamond took off her bandana and quickly tied her back around her neck, then looked up in awe.
-Maybe this wasn't such a good idea- Chewie said by the shocked expression on the young Mire's face.
"Are you kidding?!?! This is the best idea you guys ever had!" Diamond yelled hugging them both. "Come on, I'll show you my old house!"
"How can you stand this much heat?" Han complained.
"Suck it up, Hanlet," Diamond said, half amused half annoyed, "We're almost there,"
They got to an small, old, abandoned house.
-This is where you lived?-
"Only for a few years, come on!" Diamond answered walking inside.
Once they were inside Diamond ran upstairs to her old bedroom. Han followed her. As he walked into the room, he noticed a framed picture on a bookshelf. It was of a pretty brown-haired woman and a small boy, with intense blue eyes and sandy blond hair.
"Hey, Diamond. Who's this?" he asked gesturing towards the picture.
Diamond jumped on Han's shoulder and looked at the picture, "That's my Mama and brother" A/N: my friend says that yes that really is Anakin and Shimi but obviously with Diamond being an alien and the whole thing with Anakin being conceived my midiclorians they are not related my blood. Adopted family my friend Jillian says.
"And what's that pink rat thing your mother is holding?"
"Pink rat?"
Han nodded.
"THAT"S ME!!!!" Diamond yelled.
"Oopps," Han said replacing the picture on the self.
Diamond jumped off Han's shoulders and picked up the picture again, "I-I think I'll keep this," she whispered so even Han didn't here.
Suddenly Diamond saw something on another shelf, "I can't believe it," the Mire said climbing onto the bed, "Is that my old, wooden ship," she picked it up showing it to Han, "I LOVE this wooden ship! I always used to play with it. I haven't seen it in years..."
Han nodded, happy for the girl, when suddenly he realized something. "Diamond, if you have wings how come you never use them?"
"No one ever taught me how. The Jedi thought if I learned how to fly I would run away. No one there ever accepted my dreams,"
"What were your dreams?" Han asked.
"Well.... I wanted to have freedom, you know go where I want, when I want. Not having to answer to anyone's rules except my own. I wanted to be a pirate. They greatest space pirate who ever lived," she answered her voice having a dream-like quality. "And I got what I wanted. Only instead of being the greatest space pirate who ever lived, I get to be his friend," she said nuzzling Han's legs.
