Chapter 2- Back Stage Pass
The guard led Luke and Han right to Lorelei's dressing room door.
"Go in. Only talk. I'll be out here," the guard said shortly, turning his back to the door.
Luke nodded and knocked.
"Who is it?" came a sweet sounding voice.
"My name is Luke Skywalker. I'm the man you flicked the paper at in the audience," Luke called.
"Enter."
Luke and Han opened the door and slipped inside. There, sitting at a small vanity, was the dancer girl. She was still scantily clad, but somehow it didn't seem as revealing as it had on stage.
"Which one is Luke?" she asked.
"I am," the Jedi said.
"Then you are…?" Lorelei asked.
"Han Solo," Han answered.
Lorelei smiled. "I suppose that you are wondering about the note I gave you, Luke," she said.
"I must confess. I as curious. How did you--"
"Know about Voldemort? That's a long story. How I knew about you knowing of Voldemort is an even longer one. Let me get to the point, Sir Skywalker. I can help you fight this new evil," Lorelei said.
"How?" Han asked, incredulously.
Lorelei glared at him for a moment, then smiled and stood.
"They fight with odd powers, do they not? They call themselves wizards, don't they?" she asked.
"Yes," Luke said slowly. "But what does that have to do with anything?"
"What they fight with is called magic. It is vastly different than the Force, which is what your power is, I believe. And the Force has no affect on magic, I'm afraid," she said.
"I still don't see the part where you help us," Han said.
Lorelei didn't reply or glare at Han this time. Instead, she picked up a small, purple vase.
"This in an antique, and it is my favorite vase. Babba gave it to me after my first dance for him," she said.
She dropped it…deliberately. Han and Luke stared at her as if she were crazy.
"Fix it, Luke. Use the Force and fix this vase," she said.
This statement did nothing to change the way they were staring at her.
"I can't. The Force can't just fix things," Luke said.
"Ah. But, you see, I can," Lorelei said. She pulled open a drawer on her vanity and withdrew a long wooden…stick, that appeared to have a handhold at the bottom. She waved the stick at the pieces of the vase and said, "Reparo!"
The pieces of the vase just seemed to jump back together again. She laid down the stick on the vanity and picked up the vase.
"Amazing!" Luke exclaimed.
"How the hell did you do that?" Han cried.
"Magic has some of the same limitations of the Force, and there is light and dark magic. The magic the wizards you have encountered used is dark magic. I know how to counter almost every spell they could throw at you."
"What are you getting at, girlie?" Han asked.
"Free me. Go to Babba and convince him to free me. I'll go with you and help you defeat them," Lorelei said.
"Why would we trust you? Why would you help us?" Luke asked.
"Because they come from my homeworld, and it was my mission to stop them here. I never got to complete it. Now help me help you. Please."
"Luke, buddy, can I talk to you over here?" Han asked, dragging Luke off to the side.
"What?" Luke whispered.
"What do you think of her? Can we trust her? I mean, she's a slave girl," Han whispered quickly.
"I think we don't have a choice. We don't know anything about these so called wizards, and it's obvious that she could help," Luke replied.
"Well?" Lorelei asked loudly.
Luke turned to her. "Wait here a moment," he said and left the room.
Lorelei raised an eyebrow in Han's direction. He simply shrugged in reply. A few moments later, Luke reappeared.
"You're free to go," he said. "Pack up, and we'll take you with us. But you must tell us everything about these wizards."
Lorelei's eyes widened. "Really? I'm free?" she asked in disbelief.
"That's what he just said," Han said, glancing at Luke.
"Yes! I'll pack right away! Oh, how did you do it?" she asked, throwing just a few things into a nearby bag.
"My little secret," Luke said. "Now hurry. We're leaving."
"Where are we going?" Han asked.
"First into town to buy her some decent clothing, then to the last known sighting of these wizards," Luke replied.
"Ready to go," Lorelei said.
"Here, put on this cloak. We're trying not to get noticed," Luke said, tossing her his brown cloak.
She slipped it over her shoulders, and the three of them left her dressing room.
------------
These people were kind, Lorelei had just about decided. They had taken her into town, bought her food, and then led her to merchant that was selling imported outfits. Lorelei chose black pants, boots, a tank top, and an overlay that rested on her shoulders to cover her bare arms.
"Have a fondness for black?" Luke asked her.
"Like you're one to talk," she replied, eyeing his black suit. He smiled at her.
"Let's go," Han said, sighing. "I want to get back to the ship so I can send a transmission to Leia."
"Who's Leia?" Lorelei asked.
They were now heading toward the place on the outskirts of this town where Han had landed the Millennium Falcon, as Luke had told Lorelei their ship was called.
"My twin sister, Han's wife," Luke answered.
"Oh, so you two are family?" she asked.
"Yup," Han replied.
"So I take it that you two go way back?"
"You have no idea," Luke laughed.
They climbed aboard the ship and began to take their seats as Han fired it up.
"Tell me about it," Lorelei said.
"What do you mean?" Han asked.
"What's your story? Tell me it…you tell me your story, and then I'll tell you mine," she said.
The ship had now lifted off. They were slowly gaining altitude as they went across the surface of the planet.
"Alright, deal…does your story include information about these wizards?" Luke asked.
"You have no idea," she smiled at him.
She glanced out a side window in the ship and saw a very rocky area and something she deemed as strange. Among the rocks, there was something that vaguely resembled a door to like a small cottage. Lorelei blinked, but when she opened her eyes, they were already exiting the atmosphere. She shook her head and turned to Luke.
"So, your story…?"
End Notes: I hope you liked this. I like to put multiple main points of view into my fics so Luke, and Lorelei will have one a piece. There will also be two more added…but I'm not telling whose. ; ). Please R & R! Bye!
