The Uninvited Visitor
When Leia had calmed down enough to have a civilized conversation, even with her husband, she joined Han, Luke and Chewie in the empty sitting room.
Lando had just walked through the front door.
"Wow!" he grinned with his usual charming smile, "Some one had a very successful night last night!"
"Successful! Successful! Have you even looked around Lando? Are you blind or something?" Leia screamed at him.
"I'm glad I'm not, Leia," said Lando, turning all his attention to her, "For if I was, I wouldn't have the pleasure of looking at you again."
Leia blushed and suddenly found the floor a very interesting thing. Flattery, it got her every time.
"Oi! Calrissian, that's my wife you're talking to!" Han glared at his mate, but he didn't hold it for long. It turned into a lopsided grin, "So are you going to help me out of this mess or not? Goodness knows you owe me a few favors!"
"Everybody owes you at least one favor, Pirate!" Lando chuckled, and then he turned to Luke, "So, what's the plan?"
"Well," said Luke, "We're going to the bar where Han lost everything, to quiz the dealer. We'll see if we can find out who this mystery sabacc player is and where we can find him."
"And then we are going to track down the kidnapper of the twins and see if we can't bargain with him," added Han.
"Don't you mean the winner of the Twins?" asked Lando.
"That's the last thing I need Buddy," Han groaned.
"Well did you really expect to win, when you bet something so important?"
"I usually win," Han protested, "I am the guy who won a planet and, might I add," he started grinning again, "the Millennium Falcon!"
"That hurt, that really hurt," said Lando in mock offense.
"Enough of this! We have to get a move on," said Luke, "Before they get too far ahead."
"Okay, we'll take the Falcon," Han said, walking towards the door.
"What? Thinking about gambling that off as well? Didn't think it was possible, seeing as you value that scrap of tin more than you value your children's lives!" Leia muttered bitterly.
Han stopped beside Luke, looking slightly confused, "Did you hear some one talking Luke? I could have sworn I just did."
Luke rolled his eyes and shoved both of them out the door.
............
They left the house, checking to make sure no one saw them. They were leaving for the near by docking bay, where Han had Left the Millennium Falcon.
Luke had made sure, he was positive, there was no one about the house..........
That's when he heard some one yell behind him:
"Lukie boy! You really didn't think you could leave without me did you?"
How could Luke have missed him? General Wedge Antilles was leaning against a pillar outside the house, arms folded, grinning like a maniac.
"What are you doing here?" Luke quickly changed tactic, "It's not that I'm unhappy to see you or anything but this isn't really a good time."
"What, you mean with Han gambling away the twins and all?"
"How do you know about that?"
"A little birdie told me, then I shot him."
Luke scowled. He would have to get used to Wedge's cruel sense of humor again.
"Anyway, it's all over the net," Wedge continued.
"What?!" yelled Luke.
"Just kidding and you know, I've been a good boy, I haven't told any one, not even Janson."
"Tatooine has frozen over and Hoth has melted! Wedge Antilles kept a secret!"
"What? Tatooine froze over? When? I didn't think that was possible! And Hoth melted? That's gonna be a lot of water!"
Luke was trying to think of another excuse to stop Wedge from coming with them.
"Shouldn't you be commanding the Rogue Squadron?" he asked.
"Well, yeah," replied Wedge. "But they won't notice if I'm gone a couple of weeks!"
Luke looked at him doubtfully.
"It's getting a bit boring now, what with the Empire having no control. Not as many TIE Fighters and Imperial Walkers to fight, no Death Stars to blow up, you know!"
Luke gave up. There was nothing he could do. "What do I have to do to make you keep this quiet?" he asked nervously, as Wedge could think of some pretty outrageous things.
Wedge grinned and said gleefully, "Take me with you! Good ol' fashioned rescue mission! Should be fun!"
Luke groaned. "Come on then, we're wasting enough time here as it is."
"Lead the way, Lukie boy!"
"How many times have I told you not to call me that?"
"Hundreds, but I never listen to you anyway!"
A.N. Thorney is obsessed with Wedge! You have no idea how much fun it is, just getting her to shut up by saying "Wedge!" She is star struck!
