"Showing off again, kid?" Han asked Luke upon entering the room.
"No, Han. I'm making a point. Jedi don't show off." Luke said.
Peter, Susan, Lucy, and the Solos were trying to stifle their laughter as they stood up from the ground. The Solos especially knew that their parents had missed quite a show earlier and were eager to tell them about it. But for now, they would have to introduce their new friends to Han and Leia.
"Wow, I had no idea we had visitors." Han said upon seeing the seven Narnians in the room.
"I had no idea this planet was even inhabited." Leia added.
"Oh we're not from here, ma'am. We're from Narnia." Lucy said.
"Narnia? You mean that outer rim wasteland?" Han asked.
The Pevensies, the beavers, and Mr. Tumnus all had their mouths drop open in shock at Han's comment. They were greatly offended that this man insulted their beautiful, peaceful homeland. Edmund was the most offended, as he started stomping over to Han with his hand on the handle of his sword. Jaina thankfully stopped him by sticking her arm out in front of him to prevent him from getting any closer to her father.
"Don't, Edmund." she said.
"But that imbecile just insulted my homeland!" Edmund exclaimed.
"Yes, I know that. But don't go after him, we can handle this." Jaina replied.
Edmund grumbled something to himself as he sulked over to where his siblings were standing. All four of them knew that one of them had to speak up and defend Narnia. Susan was the one who made the first move when she stepped forward to say something to Han.
"Um, sir, you do realize you're speaking to the kings and queens of Narnia right now." she said.
"Children, ruling a land? Force, Narnia must really be desperate if children are its royalty." Han said
He was soon rewarded with a smack on his shoulder from Leia and her comment of "Shut up, you scruffy looking nerfherder!"
"Who's scruffy looking?" Han snapped back.
Chewie barked out a laugh, and everyone immediately turned around to see that he had entered the room without them noticing. The Narnians were especially surprised to see this tall furry creature in front of them. Lucy, however, let out a blood curling scream upon seeing Chewie and dove underneath Jaina's robe to hide.
"Jaina, it's a monster! A monster's here!" she shrieked.
"Oh, sweetie, that's not a monster. That's Chewie." Jaina said.
"Chewie?" Lucy softly said as she peeked her head out from Jaina's robe.
"Yes, that's Chewie. He's a wookie." Jaina said.
"A…a wookie?" Lucy stammered.
"This would be a wookie?" Mr. Tumnus asked.
"Yes it is, Mr. Tumnus. I believe we told you about wookies back on Narnia." Jacen said.
Lucy slowly brushed Jaina's robe away from her face and trembled as she began to step out from her hiding spot. Han saw this as an opportunity to make the little girl even more scared that she already was.
"I wouldn't want to get too close to him when he's mad, kid." he said.
"Why…why not, sir?" Lucy asked
"Because he might pull your arms out of their sockets, as wookies are known to do that." Han replied with an evil grin.
Lucy looked at Chewie completely horrified, then dove back underneath Jaina's robe and squeezed her arms around her waist. Jaina rubbed Lucy's back to make her feel better and ran her fingers through her little friend's hair. She looked up at her father who was still smirking at his successful attempt to scare Lucy. Thankfully, her mother quickly took care of that by whacking Han right upside the head.
"Han, don't you dare scare that little girl like that! She's our company, for Force sake!" Leia exclaimed.
"Yes, your highness." Han grumbled as he rubbed the back of his head where Leia had struck him.
"Your highness?" Susan asked Leia in amazement.
"You're royalty? I had no bloody idea." Mr. Beaver said.
"Yes she is. If you remember, our grandmother Padme Amidala was Queen of Naboo. Then when our mother was a baby, she was adopted into the Royal Family of Alderaan and made a princess." Jaina said.
"Alderaan? What is Alderaan?" Edmund asked.
"It's a world that doesn't exist anymore, Ed. It was destroyed by the Empire and our mother here is one of the few survivors." Anakin said.
The Narnians slowly looked over at Leia, who bowed her head slightly and smiled at them. They were amazed that this beautiful former princess was actually the Solos' mother. She seemed so caring and loving; she would indeed be a joy to be around during their stay on Yavin.
"You're their mom, ma'am?" Peter asked.
"Yes, dear. I am their mother. And this nerfherder standing next to me is their father." Leia said, gesturing to Han who smiled sheepishly.
"He's their father? That's unbelievable." Edmund said.
"Believe it or not, he is. My children love him dearly, too. Normally, he's actually a very decent man, when he's not acting like a scoundrel." Leia said, taking Han's hand.
"Why thank you, your worship." Han said.
"I thought I told you to stop calling me that!" Leia exclaimed.
"Yes, Leia." Han grumbled impatiently.
Everyone, even Luke, snickered at Han and Leia's little banter. But they realized there was one important matter they had to attend to: getting a very terrified Lucy to come out from hiding and make her comfortable around Chewie.
"You remember how we told you about Chewie on Narnia?" Jaina asked Lucy.
"Chewie?" Lucy quietly asked.
"Well, you know him as Chewbacca. But we call him Chewie." Jaina replied.
Lucy slowly peeked her head out again from Jaina's robe as she stared at Chewie. A light went off for her as she realized that this was indeed the huge, furry wookie the Solos had told her and the others about. She stopped trembling a little, but was still a little frightened at the sight of this huge creature. Noticing how scared she still was, Luke decided to prove another point by going up to Chewie and giving him a huge hug.
"See, little one, Chewie won't hurt you." Luke replied.
Han opened his mouth to say something but was stopped again by Leia giving him a Don't you even dare. look. Han just grinned sheepishly as he looked away from his wife. He knew that when she gave him that look, she meant business.
Lucy slowly came out from underneath Jaina's robe and, still trembling a little, began slowly walking over to Chewie. Noticing the fear in her, Chewie let out a soft beckoning sound to encourage her to come forward. This startled Lucy a little as she had no idea what he meant by this and looked at the Solos for help.
"Oh, he says to come forward." Luke said.
"You understood him, sir?" Susan asked.
"Well, when you've been around a wookie as long as I have you get to understand them quite well." Luke replied as he placed a hand on Chewie's shoulder.
Lucy continued to make her way up to Chewie, still a little shaky. She finally approached him and reached out her hand to touch his arm. But as her fingers brushed against his soft fur, he suddenly swooped his arms down and lifted a startled Lucy right up off the ground. As she looked at Chewie right in his eyes, he let out a soft guttural sound. A smile began to grow on Lucy's face as she realized that this creature was no monster, he was a friend. Her smile grew bigger and she began to giggle when Chewie used his free hand to pat her on the head.
"Pleased to meet you, Chewbacca. I'm Lucy Pevensie." she said.
Chewie let out another soft, friendly growl which Jacen translated for Lucy as "He says he's pleased to meet you as well."
Lucy was still smiling as Chewie set her back down on the floor. Leia looked at Lucy once she had her feet firmly on the floor and said to her "You're Lucy Pevensie?"
"Yes I am, ma'am." Lucy said as she gave a small curtsey, then turned to her family and other Narnian friends and said "And these are my brothers Peter and Edmund, my sister Susan, and our friends Mr. Tumnus and the beavers."
"Oh, so you're the little sister my daughter never had." Leia replied.
Lucy's cheeks began to blush as she looked over at Jaina, who smiled back at her. Lucy, while she was perfectly aware of how close she and Jaina were, had no idea that Jaina thought of her as her little sister. Lucy simply ran over to Jaina and flung her arms around her waist, squeezing her quite hard. Jaina gratefully returned Lucy's hug as she wrapped her arms around her and squeezed her tightly.
"You really think of her like this?" Peter whispered to Jaina.
"Yes I do, Peter. And I always will." Jaina replied.
"Blimey, this is so beautiful." Mr. Beaver said as he wiped a tear from his eye.
"It is beautiful, isn't it?" Mrs. Beaver responded to her husband.
Edmund leaned over to Anakin and asked him "Where's your Uncle Luke?"
Everyone whirled around to realize that Luke was not in the room with then anymore. But almost as immediately as they realized this, Luke reentered the room followed by C-3PO.
"Jaina, where's the little short one?" Lucy asked upon noticing R2-D2 was not with Luke and C-3PO.
"He would be in the bay recharging right now, my dear." C-3PO responded.
"Yes he is, 3PO. Now will you do the honors of showing our guests to where they will be staying?" Luke asked.
"It will be my pleasure, Master Luke. Right this way, please." C-3PO said, gesturing to the Narnians to follow him out of the room.
The Pevensies, the beavers, and Mr. Tumnus followed C-3PO out into the hallway as he lead them to where they would be sleeping during their stay on Yavin. He gestured to the first open door they came across and motioned for Peter and Edmund to come forward.
"This, King Peter and King Edmund, is where you will be staying." he said.
"Thank you, sir." Peter said, and then noticed Edmund had not responded along with him. He gave Edmund a sharp kick in his ankle, which startled Edmund out of his small daze.
"Oh, thank you sir." Edmund said, and Peter simply rolled his eyes at him as the boys stepped into their room.
"And this chamber, Queen Susan and Queen Lucy, is where you will be staying." C-3PO said as he gestured to the room next door.
"Oh thank you very much, sir." Susan said as she and Lucy stepped inside.
"Yes, thank you kindly." Lucy added in.
Last but not least, C-3PO lead Mr. Tumnus and the beavers to the room next door to Susan and Lucy's room.
"This one is where you will be staying, my friends." he said.
"Thank you very much for your hospitality, sir." Mr. Tumnus said.
"It is my pleasure, Master Tumnus." C-3PO said as he walked away.
As everyone got settled into their new rooms, it was quite obvious how small they were. But the rooms were also quite cozy, and that was the only thing that really mattered to them right now.
