Crying over Spilt Salt

Luke and Leia were still bent over the holo board when they heard Chewie growl, 'Dinner is served!'

"Great! We're coming!" Leia yelled, her voice shaking slightly. She was losing badly and she knew it, but more to the point, Luke knew it.

"Match postponed!" she shot a glare at her brother. "You're not going to win that easily you know!"

"Looks like I already have." he said smugly.

"Not yet. Not if I have anything to do about it."

When they entered the small 'kitchen' Leia whispered to Chewbacca, "You haven't got any poison that I could slip into Luke's food, do you?"

The wookiee growled with laughter.

Soon enough everyone was gathered around the small table, which was laden with the food Chewie had prepared.

Even Lando, who wasn't talking to Chewie for obvious reasons, had to admit, it was pretty damn good.

By deliberate coincidence, by Luke's design, Leia and Han were sitting directly opposite each other, forcing them to look at one another. Luke had only been able to make Leia agree by allowing Lando to sit on one side of her and Wedge on the other.

Wedge had blushed at this suggestion but was obviously pleased with the amount of attention he was receiving from the princess.

Lando, knew exactly what was going on but he was happy for any excuse to help Han's envy grow.

"So," Luke managed to start a forced conversation after several minutes of silence, "What's the timetable like for tomorrow, when we land?"

"Lando and Chewie will go out and get parts for the Falcon. I'll fix her up a bit, we'll probably have to spend the night but then we'll be on our way."

"Where are we going?" Lando asked curiously.

"Commenor."

"Sounds good."

"Then we go after this Bobby Fe... Fe... Fett?"

"I thought it was Bobby Fett, not Bobby Fe-Fe-Fett."

"Use your brain Wedge, or what's left of it. Fett! Does anyone except me recognize the name Fett?"

"Isn't that the guy we chased half-way across the galaxy to get you back, Han?"

"Yes!" cried Han, thankful that someone understood, though by the looks on everybody else faces, they had worked it out about the same time he had.

A sudden sternness came over Wedge's face. "Is that the guy Dixie died for?"

Dix had been a good friend and had died for nothing. That particular rescue attempt on Han had failed.

"Well, sort of. That was Boba Fett. This is Bobby Fett."

"Well it can't be Boba Fett," said Luke. "Han knocked him into the Pit of the Sarlacc. He died!"

"Hey!" Han went defensive. "I was blind at the time!"

"Well, Luke's right, it can't be Boba Fett. Did he have a son?" asked Leia.

"I doubt he was faithful to any one woman, so probably. He may have even had two or three. Could be some kid who found out his dad was Boba Fett and took on his last name to sound impressive," said Lando.

"Great, if he's anything like his father... I don't want to know how the twins are now..." Leia looked glumly down at her plate.

"Let's not jump to conclusions now!" said Han, trying to brighten the spirits of the people in the room. "Take Antilles, for example. There are loads of people called Antilles, that Bail Antilles from Alderaan and that guy who piloted the Tantive 4, Captain Antilles. But they're not related to you, are they Wedge?"

Wedge stared at Han, obviously annoyed, "Makes me feel great knowing all of them are dead." He said grumpily, "The family of Antilles is cursed."

"Yeah," said Han trying really hard not to laugh, "They must be, if they're having kids like you."

Leia glared at Han, then placed a Hand around Wedge's shoulders, "Don't worry Wedge, we'll look out for you. And besides, like Han said, they weren't even related to you."

Wedge smiled meekly, and muttered so quietly it was almost inaudible, "Thanks."

"Well Han," Luke said uncertainly, "I've never heard of anyone else called 'Fett'."

"It's possible!" a touch of annoyance was in Han's voice.

Luke was about to respond when Leia cut in, "It doesn't matter who this guy is! Who cares if he's related to Boba Fett or not! Point is he has the twins and we are going after him!"

There was an awkward silence as Leia finished ranting. And the silence lasted.

Suddenly Han said, "Luke, can you ask Leia to pass the salt."

Luke rolled his eyes then said halfheartedly, "Leia, could you please pass the salt."

Leia thought for a moment, and then said sweetly to Lando, "Lando, can you please tell Han to take a look around and see that the salt is actually closer to him, so it would be more logical for him to stop acting so lazy and get it himself."

Lando took a deep breath. "Han... What she said!"

Han looked at Lando in mock confusion. "I'm sorry, who said?"

Leia's mouth dropped open and she looked scandalized.

"Lando! Tell that... that pile of nerf-dung to take back that comment immediately!"

Lando was clearly enjoying the excuse to insult Han.

"Listen you pile of nerf-dung! Take that back immediately!"

Han rose to his feet and on the opposite side of the table Leia did the same.

"Luke, you tell her High-and-Mightiness to shut up with the name calling and pass me the salt!"

Luke blanched. Han hadn't called Leia that in years.

"Um," Luke said feebly, "Leia-"

"WORD FOR WORD!" Han yelled.

"Um, okay." Then Luke said very quietly and very quickly, "Your High-and-Mightiness, could you plea-"

"Word. For. Word."

Luke found himself feeling slightly intimidated by his brother-in-law and sincerely wishing he hadn't left his lightsaber in his room.

"Shut up and pass the salt."

Leia heard him think, 'Please don't shoot the messenger, please don't shoot the messenger!'

Leia thought back, 'Don't worry, just for you, I'll use my lightsaber!'

She saw his gaze flicker to the lightsaber on her belt then he thought, 'Meep!'

Leia was thinking about how to reply to Han.

"Lando," she hesitated, "Tell that THING that looks worse than Jabba the Hutt in a bikini-"

She was interrupted by the howls of laughter from Wedge, Lando and Chewie. Leia grinned and even gave a small bow, "Thank You! Thank You, I'll be here all week," then she turned back to Han.

"Looks worse than Jabba in a bikini........Where was I again? Oh yeah. That I'm not going to do anything for.....IT."

Han didn't give Lando a chance to insult him again, "Well if I'm an IT then I would be very worried about the circumstances of the twins' and Anakin's birth!"

Leia scowled, "Who says they're your kids?"

Lando grinned smugly at this and leaned back in his chair, only two legs touching the ground, "You know I always wondered why they didn't have more of my looks."

Wedge suddenly burst out, "Can we change the subject please. It's putting me off my dinner."

"Luke, tell that," there was a pause as he tried to find a good insult, "Yassum! That-"

Leia interrupted, "You bantha brained-"

"You know, I've heard Bantha are really smart." said Lando.

"Gundark!"

"Stuck up...."

"Womp rat!"

"Half witted...."

"You have the same taste in clothes as Emperor Palpatine!" everyone's heads were going from one to the other, Lando lost his balance and toppled backwards on tot the floor.

"Scruffy looking....."

"I am not scruffy!!!!"

"NERF HEARDED!!!!!"

"WELL YOU......YOU...."

"STUPID SMUGGLER, YOU'RE ALL THE SAME!!!"

"Hey!" said Lando from the floor.

"WELL YOU'RE A STUCK UP PRINCESS WITH ABOUT AS MUCH PERSONALITY AS A WET MOP!!!"

"I'M BEGINNING TO WISH THAT I HAD MARRIED ISOLDER INSTEAD OF YOU!!! HELL, EVEN XIZOR WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER!"

"I WOULD HAVE RATHER MARRIED THREEPIO THAN HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOU ALL THE TIME!!"

"YOU'RE WORSE THAN A BALD WOMPA!!!"

"WELL YOU-"

"STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The room went quiet as a new voice entered the argument.

"Luke?"

A collective gasp was heard throughout the 'kitchen'.

"You're worse than the twins! I wish Bobby Fett had kidnapped you instead 'cause then I wouldn't have to put up with this childish arguing! And if the twins decided to rescue you I wouldn't offer to help 'cause I'd remember the time you went crazy on the Millennium Falcon!"

Leia had time to think, 'We went crazy' before Luke sprang to his and continued yelling.

"And if you continue this pathetic attempt to get on each others nerves I will go into my room and get my lightsaber and cut every single one of you," he gestured his finger around the table, "in half, and I don't give a damn if my blade turns blood red while I'm doing it! So shut up, sit down and we are going to have a nice peaceful, civilized dinner!"

Luke thumped himself down on his chair and began to eat very deliberately still taking deep calming breaths.

Han and Leia sat down slowly and looked around. Everyone was staring at Luke, openmouthed. They had never seen him get that mad before. And everybody... nearly everybody, knew not to try him.

But then...

"Wedge, can you please ask Leia to pass the salt?"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Luke stood up so quickly that his chair toppled over and he crushed one of the glasses with the Force in his rage. He strode to the door, paused, and turned around.

Suddenly, the salt that was sitting in front of Han and floated into Luke's outstretched hand.

"Just to make sure!" he spluttered, before storming off in the direction of his room.

There was a stunned silence for several minutes after Luke's departure, until Leia said, "And he talks to me about anger!"

Wedge had sunk so low in his chair that only the top of his head was visible above the table.

"You don't really think he's gone to get his lightsaber, do you?"

A.N. Oh my gosh! We finished the Salt Scene!!! (Lots of screaming!)

The reason we didn't put the Antilleseseses... yeah, you get the idea. Thorney would just like to point out that even if there is an Antilles family curse, she would put up with it for Wedge!

We've been planning this chapter since before we started the fic so now we're kinna sad that we've finished it. But now we've got a new baby chapter! It's called the Bar Scene! Unfortunately it's not up next, but look out for it!

We've decided on a deadline to finish Sabacc because we've got lodes of stuff to do. It's New Year so if we haven't finished by then you have permission to yell at us in reviews!
