Sugar and Spice
Han was knackered. All he wanted to do was go back to the Falcon and sleep! As he carried the limp form of Leia around the corner towards the docking bay he was met with an unpleasant sight, men loading large boxes onto the Falcon and Lando directing them, pointing to different places on the ship with one hand and ticking things off on his clipboard with the other.
"How much did you get?" Han asked, coming up behind Lando. "Do we really need all these parts for the Falcon?"
Lando turned around on the spot very slowly, a large cheesy on his face. "Han! You know you're my bestest buddy in the world, don't you?" He put his arm around Han's shoulders and led him away from the ship.
"What did you do?" Han asked incredulously. "How much did you spend?"
"Not much! That's the point!" Lando glanced down at the figure in Han's arms. "Hey, what happened to her?"
Han too, glanced down but quickly whipped his head back up again, "Don't change the subject! Where are the parts?"
Lando laughed nervously. "Oh I got the parts alright, they're over there," He waved vaguely in the direction of some other smaller boxes, "the point is that all this other… stuff- it was daylight robbery! On my part!"
"Lando!" Luke called out, jogging over to them. Lando glanced away guiltily, "Lando!" Luke came to a halt beside them, "What's the Falcon doing full of spice?" He held out his hand which contained a small pile of a white powdery substance. It was so fine that a little trickled through the gaps between his fingers.
"Watch it!" Lando dropped to the ground attempting, in vain, to catch it before it got lost in the dirt. He stood up again saying, "That is part of a very valuable investment!"
"I thought you said it was cheap!" Han lowered his voice to what was almost a growl.
"It was! But I bought so much of it that-" He cut himself off. "Never mind, just be careful with it. I was planning on taking it with us to Nar Shaddaa and selling it for an extortionate price! And you'll get a part of the profit 'cause you're the best smuggler in the galaxy!" Lando playfully punched Han on the shoulder.
"Hang on a minute Lando," If Han wasn't carrying Leia he would have punched Lando hard on the face, "You're forgetting one thing. I'm on the straight and narrow now."
"Straight, are you sure?" Lando mumbled beneath his breath.
"What's that supposed to mean!"
Luke had a vision of what could turn into a very ugly fight. "All right, all right. Nice and friendly gentlemen!"
"Come on Han, you know you want to, you know, relive the old days when you were a top class bachelor and smuggler! Why not now?"
"Because we're supposed to be on mission to rescue my kids! This is not just an excuse for you to be making some extra cash! If you want to smuggle spice go and get the Lady Luck. My ship is off limits! We'll talk about this in the morning!" Han was too tired to say any more on the subject.
Stalking off into the Falcon, dodging boxes and crates, he finally made his way to his cabin to dump Leia and get some sleep.
A.N. We know it's a short chapter but we're not really in the mood to write. Forgive us! Yet again we've overrun our deadline. (Audience throw broken bottles and rotten tomatoes at us) But we have a new deadline! (Audience groans knowing that we'll overrun it again) It's a year after the date we started.
Thorney: Can I read the AC/DC thing now?
Sweetdeath04: Yes.
Thorney: So why aren't you giving it to me?
Sweetdeath04: Because you know where it is and I'm typing!
Thorney: (Retrieves AC/DC thing.)
Oh my gosh! Bon Scott was married?
Sweetdeath04: (Rolls eyes emphatically.)
Thorney: Humph! Just 'cause I'm slightly obsessive!
Sweetdeath04: Slightly?
Thorney: What should I say? Long Live Rock 'N' Roll?
Sweetdeath04: (Hit's Thorney over the back of the head with a dictionary)
And that's us for now folks! Sorry about the short chapter!
Sweetdeath04 and (unconscious) Thorney
Thorney: (Wakes up) Long Live Rock 'N' Roll! Angus was so cool in the eighties! So hot!
Sweetdeath04: Thorney has been eating smarties. Please ignore everything she says!
