Here's part two.
When Leia awoke early the next morning she felt as if something was missing. It didn't take long to notice that Han's strong arms were in fact absent from her person. She had been incredibly hard on him last night. She wanted to punish him for something that wasn't entirely his fault; however, Han always claimed it wasn't his fault. Either way she could have given him the benefit of the doubt. Besides she had punished herself by default. Realizing that she had abandoned Luke at the ball, Leia decided to call him and make sure he made it home alright. Plus this way he wouldn't interrupt her planned reconciliation with Han. She sat by the house comm and dialed his comm code.
"Dex's Diner, how can I help you?" a metallic voice asked. Leia blinked in surprise
"Um, I must have dialed the wrong code." Leia said confused.
"No problem; it happens a lot since they changed the area codes." The metallic voice said, and then the connection was cut. Of course the code had changed but what did they change Luke's to? Leia racked her brain for a few more minutes before she realized that she had it in her handheld comm. So after an extended search of the apartment for her purse, and a brief search within the purse, Leia stared at the display on her commlink. It showed 15 missed calls and 5 new messages. Chagrined, she toggled the menu to see that all but the last call were from Han, and the last one was from Luke. With a grimace Leia activated the messages.
"You have five unheard messages." A digitized voice recited. "First message received yesterday at 5:25 p.m. Coruscant standard time."
"Hey sweetheart," Han's voice sounded happy. "We just got planet-side I should be there in an hour or less. Can't wait to see you."
"To save this message press one—," Leia quickly erased the message a slight scowl on her face. "Next message received yesterday 5:35 p.m. Coruscant standard time."
"Leia, it's me again." Han sounded perturbed. "They're making us go through customs, added precautions for the safety of politicians and royalty on planet. Don't they know we're the ones who made it safe for them to come here in the first place? Hey, see if you can pull some strings and get us out of this. I'll see you later."
Leia quickly erased the message and frowned at Han's general disrespect for the proper use of authority and at herself for being mad. He was doing everything he could to get to her. "Next message received yesterday 5:50 p.m. Coruscant standard time."
"Hey I don't know when I'll get out of here. They're doing this in alphabetical order." Han sounded genuinely disappointed. "I know you were looking forward to this. I'll have to meet you there. Me and some of the Rouges are going to grab some ales while we're waiting." Leia frowned immediately, and Han's voice returned after a pause. "Don't worry sweetheart I won't get drunk. I've got a long night planned."
Leia smiled at the suggestive tone of his voice. Then grimaced at her actions he had obviously planned a romantic reunion and Leia had ruined it with her petty anger. "Next message received yesterday at 6:55 p.m. Coruscant standard time."
"I'm on my way." Han sounded positively livid. There was the sound of a speeder horn and he yelled something towards the driver. "You tell that sawed-off bum Antilles he better make his peace with the Force!" There was the burst of another speeder horn and the call cut out.
Leia was actually surprised he had been as civil as he had been when he got there. "Next message received today at 1:25 a.m. Coruscant standard time."
"Hey Leia, it's me Luke." What was Luke doing out so late? Leia thought. "Me, Winter, and some of the old Rouges went for drinks after the ball. You and Han missed a great time. I think Winter and Tyco might have a thing for each other; they talked the whole time. I bought this redhead a couple of drinks. She was hot. She looked kinda like dancer; maybe Han can hook me up." Luke laughed like a madman at his own joke. "Hey did you and Han make up? Yeah Wes, I'll ride with Wedge." Luke spoke away from the comm and Leia heard Wes mention a girl. "Great, order me some flatcakes will you. Leia, I've got to go. Comm me tomorrow, or today really. Later."
Leia frowned. Luke had called her in the middle of the night drunk. Her eyes widened as clarification struck, she had been drunk dialed by her brother. This kind of behavior was expected of Han sure; but Luke? She was definitely going to have to do something about Han's influence on her brother. Right now however her first priority would be to get back in her Scoundrel's good graces. Then she would initiate some control over him.
Luke painfully awoke to the sound of the commlink sitting on his bedside. After sweeping the mass of red gold hair out of his face he felt around for the comm.
"Hello," he rasped into the commlink's speaker.
"Luke, did you get home alright?" Leia asked him.
"I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know?" Leia sounded perturbed.
"Don't know. Don't care. Besides I don't think I am home."
"What?" Leia shrieked.
"Hang that thing up," a groggy female's voice demanded.
"Bye, Leia." Luke hung up the commlink and lay back in the bed. The mass of red gold hair rolled over to reveal an angelic face nuzzling into his shoulder. "Sorry," he said as he stretched and wiggled back into a comfortable position. "My sister worries about me for some reason."
"She should. You know I'm going to kill you later." She murmured as she wrapped an arm around his chest and curled her leg around his.
"That's nice," he said before kissing her forehead and lying back with closed eyes. She opened a single emerald green eye took in his comfortable smile and arched an eyebrow. Then she sighed and drifted back to sleep a pleased grin on her face. This was the first time she had felt at ease in a long time.
Leia stared at her commlink shocked after talking to Luke who said something about not caring what she wanted or what was wrong. On top of that, he had stayed at some woman's place last night. Leia was now utterly determined to do something about the bad influences on Luke. That would all have to wait until she had taken care of Han. The clock read 8:30 so she decided that she would surprise him with breakfast. After she had showered and dressed to go to Han's; she took a moment to admire herself in a full-length reflector. She hadn't worn this outfit in years and was particularly happy with how well it still fit. So, it was with a hopeful attitude that Leia left in a long heavy cloak that left only her head, a breath of bare leg, and a pair of ankle boots with a gold inlay on them visible to the public.
