Dear Readers,
Welcome back! I almost hate to say it but...The next chapter will be the last for this story! So I'm a little sad, but so excited too! My first story's almost done... I hope all of you have had as much fun as me. Now, back to business as usual, THANKS TO ALL WHO WROTE IN FOR CHAPTER 8...
Sweetdeath04- Your wonderful and long review made me laugh so hard! I just hope the ghost thing was a joke... I mean... HOW COULD I GO ON IF YOU WEREN'T THERE? OR STOPPED POSTING!? (Clears throat awkwardly!) Just kidding, but seriously, all the way from chapter 1, your reviews have been a joy and always make me laugh! Bless you! I'm REALLY glad you mentioned your favorite parts because those were the one's I was wondering if they were funny to you guys! Plus, I've always dreamed of someone terrible, meeting their fate, by a butter-knife! And of course I'm gonna read you and Thorney's stuff! It's GREAT, and you two truly have talent! And they STILL magically clear my writer's block, like Drano! THANKS AGAIN!
Thorney- I know what you mean... I think! Just Kidding! You and Sweetdeath always manage to make me laugh, and I'm so thankful to you! And trust me; you guys are giving me some good competition with your own unique BRILLIANCE! Lando's always ready to party-on, crazy, lamp-shade-wearing animal! (Teehee!) I think Luke was secretly looking out for all of them too. If Han showed up at this wedding drunk, Leia would have killed the whole bunch! THANKS Again for writing in and letting me know you liked it, I hope you enjoy this last chapter too!
GreatOne- Nastier? Why thank you, because I really wanted her to be nasty! And yes, there will be a little snippet of the (cough...wedding night... cough) but nothing too graphic... just a little something for your enjoyment (... and mine, teehee)! Thanks again for writing in, I really appreciate hearing from you!
Pitdroid- Yeah, Leia's gotten used to catching those guys now... GOOD THING too! They're so bad! Han is great, I always liked him, but then I read TCOPL, and that made me LOVE him! You can't help but love him! I hope you enjoy the rest of the story! Thanks again for all of your kind reviews! Bless you!
Dracula's Lair- I'm glad you enjoyied it, man! But Mon Mothma's still in jail... she hasn't died... yet... that was Isolder's mother who died. Thanks for your fun review; it makes me laugh every time I read it! (You sound a lot like me and my friends!) THANKS AGAIN! Hope you like this chapter too!
dm 1- YEAH! Mon Mothma and Isolder are going DOWN! YES! (Sorry, I'm just so excited!) Luke's great, besides I think he wanted to dodge the whole bachelor party thing! Leia would have killed them for that! Glad you liked it! I hope you like what I have cooked up for the rest of the story! THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR GREAT REVIEWS!
THANKS EVERYBODY!
Dedicated to my friend Amy, who's like the big sister I never had! This one's for you!
The Loveless Bride
Chapter 9 – The beginning of the BIG Day!
Bail Organa walked down to Leia's apartment, wearing a huge, proud smile. To day was his little girl's wedding day... and this time, she was serious! He couldn't help but look back on the day she was given to him. A precious little bundle, who cooed, gripped his finger, and even though they say she was too young, he could have sworn she smiled at him. Now, she was a full grown, sophisticated, and compassionate woman... but to him, she would always be that little girl, asking him to kiss a boo-boo and make it better.
He entered her access code and quietly entered her apartment. All of the female side of the wedding party was busy running around the kitchen, wiping up a quick breakfast for them and the bride-to-be. "Hello Ladies!" Bail greeted, "Is the Bride up yet?"
"Nope, we thought we'd leave that up to you, sir. Besides, we wanted her to get as much rest as she could." Winter replied.
"Yeah, goodness knows she won't get any sleep tonight!" One of the other bridesmaids giggled evilly, the others joining in!
"Not if Han has anything to do with it." Another said, as they all laughed.
Bail had to laugh too, and then excuse himself by saying, "Well, I'll go get her up I guess." Then he left the room, still laughing to himself. He walked back to her door and knocked gently. "Come in." Leia's voice softly sang out. He stepped inside to her still lying in bed, smiling brightly. "Good morning Daddy." She greeted.
"Good morning," He said kissing her forehead. "You had better get up; we've got a wedding to attend today."
"Yeah, mine!" Leia laughed, "And there's no way I missing this one!"
"That's good to hear! Now tell me something, are you sure you've got everything together?"
"Yes," Leia smiled getting up, "Everything is all ready packed for when I get dressed at the church. The gown is here, along with all of the other dresses needed. I'm all packed for the honeymoon. All I need to do now is eat something with the girls, which smells wonderful from here. Let my hair out of these curlers and get it done in the style I've already chosen. And try not to let myself get too nervous."
"Well, that's good, you're very organized. But I think you're forgetting something."
"What's that Dad?" Leia asked.
"As much as I like this little nightgown number, I think you better get dressed." He grinned, earning a playful slap from Leia.
"I am, I'm not that far gone, ya know!" She giggled, grabbing her already selected outfit and heading for her bathroom.
"Good to see you're in such a good mood, sweetie!"
"I just can't seem to stop smiling today!" Leia called through the closed door. "I can't believe, by the end of the day, I will be Leia Organa Solo." She said dreamily and let out a little giggle.
"It does have a nice ring to it, now that you mention it." Bail chuckled.
"I wonder what Han's doing right now." Leia said wonderingly.
"Probably the same as you, getting ready." Bail said.
"I can only hope so!" Leia said coming out dressed and shooting her dad a look of doubt.
"They all stayed at your brother's place including Carlist! I'm sure the two of them will get those slackers up and going." He said confidently.
At Luke's Coruscant Apartment...
There were five men and a wookiee spread out all over the apartment... in blissful, undisturbed sleep. Wedge Antilles was rapped around his blow-up tauntaun, sucking his thumb in a sleeping bag on the kitchen counter. Chewie was swinging and snoring, hanging in his hammock, with a blanket draped over his head. General Carlist Rieekan was curled up on the sofa mumbling something about pancakes. Lando Calrissian was sleeping on the glass coffee table with a lamp shade on his head... His body's weight leaving a huge crack down the center of the once beautiful table. Jedi Master Luke Skywalker was asleep in his own bathtub, with his big toe plugging up the water that was constantly dripping from the leaky faucet. While Han Solo, the groom-to-be, was sleeping soundly on Luke's Bed, alone in the bedroom. ALL SIX OBLIVIOUS TO WHAT TIME IT WAS, BECAUSE NO ONE REMEMBERED TO SET AN ALARM!
Meanwhile Back at Leia's Apartment...
All the bridesmaids, Bail and Leia had just finished their breakfast and were all leaving the apartment. They were all heading over to the chapel to finish getting ready and get Leia's hair done. As Leia was being crammed into the already full turbo-lift, "I just think one of us should call the boys and make sure they're up. I have a bad feeling about this!" she told her father.
"Don't worry darling, everything is fine. I'll call them as you're getting your hair fixed." Bail assured.
"Please do, I would feel better knowing." Leia said trying to calm herself.
"I'm sure; they're up and on the go just like us." Bail smiled confidently.
"Yeah, you're probably right." Leia smiled cheerfully.
I know it's a shortie! But I'm just afraid Chapter 10 is getting to long. Hope you all like it so far, chapter 10 will be up soon! THANKS AGAIN ALL WHO REVIEWED! Please write in and let me know how you like it! Till next time, Bye Bye Bye!
