SailorLeia – Thank you! I'm glad you're still enjoying it!

SoloKenobi – I always talk during the ride too (by saying all the words along with Rex), and I'm sure I've annoyed my share of people. It would have been beautiful if Han had been part of the ride.

Sweetdeath04 – I'm glad you love it!

Chapter 14

After they walked down the ride's ramp they were conveniently met by a room full of "wartime memorabilia." Shelves were stacked high with packaged toys done in the likeness of various war heroes, including figures of Luke, Han, and Leia.

"Hey, Leia, it's us!" Han shouted in joy, anger at being left out of the movie long forgotten. He ran over like a little boy toward the boxes of action figures. "Look! There are different sets, like a Bespin one, and an Endor one, and a Hoth one, and a Yavin one…"

"Calm down, Han. If you're a bad boy you won't get a treat later."

Han ignored her and grabbed all the sets visible. He began making comments like "ooh, this Leia one is pretty hot," and "so that's what the slave costume looked like!" When he saw the Falcon he almost had a heart attack. He grabbed it and began making "flying" noises. Leia rolled her eyes.

"I guess it won't be too hard to get the hang of being a mother since I already have a child," she commented.

"Like I didn't see you earlier with 'Bernie the Bantha,'" he retorted.

"True," was all she could say in response.

Leia walked up to the play sets and looked at them with a diplomat's eye. "They are actually pretty good likenesses. How in the stars did they know what my Bespin outfit looked like? I only wore it for a little while."

"Maybe Lando marketed them. Last I heard he was going into the toy business."

"I have a hard time believing that!"

"Well, there are billions of kids in the galaxy and most seem to enjoy toys, so I guess it's pretty profitable, right Ty?" Han asked, turning to the little boy.

"Uh, I wouldn't know. I've never had a toy," Ty said sheepishly.

"Well, why don't you pick out some?"

"Oh, no, sir! I don't need any toys. I don't know what to do with them!"

"You play with them, Kid. And don't worry about the credits; it's no problem. Leia is a princess, you know."

"She's a princess? A real live princess? Like in fairy tales?" Ty asked, looking positively star-struck.

"Yeah, didn't I mention that before?"

"No, sir…Han, I would have remembered that!

"Well, she is. A princess of Alderaan. Don't treat her like a princess, though - that's her pet peeve. Just treat her like you'd treat any other adult," Han said seriously, wary of his wife's fluctuating mood.

"Sure. Wait…she's Princess Leia? One of the leaders of the Rebellion that destroyed the Empire?"

"Yeah, there's no other Princess Leias that I can think of."

"And you're married to her?"

"Last I checked our marriage license I was."

"Wow, that's amazing. I can't believe I've been with Princess Leia the whole time. I've always admired her, since I was really little. My parents were," he paused as he looked away. "My parents were killed by stormtroopers for not being able to pay their taxes. I would have been killed too if my parents hadn't made me hide. Sometimes I wish I had been killed," he said, a tear rolling down his cheek. "From that moment on I prayed that the Rebellion would win the war. I hated the Empire so much."

Han moved forward and enfolded Ty in a warm hug. Ty leaned into him, amazed at how wonderful it felt to have another person comforting him. Leia walked up to them, about to ask Ty which toy he wanted, but stopped dead in her tracks when she saw the two hugging. She met Han's eyes and could feel the happiness he felt for making a difference in the little boy's life. It was a happiness that she shared.

A few moments later she walked up to them and suggested that Ty choose the toys he wanted so they could go on another ride. Ty decided to get the Endor play set that came with Han and Leia figures, and Leia gladly paid for it. They walked to a nearby ride; a film that boasted of a "3-D experience," called Captain G-O. The ride had been changed several times but held the same concept. Captain G-O had been the original ride.

Inside, each of them were handed paper glasses with one red lens and one blue lens. Better technology could have been easily used, but because they were going to watch the original film, the original 3-D technology was used.

Once inside they put on their 3-D glasses and sat down to watch the film. Once the film started a barrage of dancers met them, with the main one a dark-skinned man who was presumably Captain G-O. He was by far the best dancer. The dancers met up with some evil characters, the main one a cat-like woman with fingernails that stretched out into the audience. Or at least that was what it felt like to audience members. The evil cat-like woman wanted to kill Captain G-O, but he entranced her with his dance moves and turned her into a beautiful woman.

When the film was over everyone left, and they were instructed to leave their 3-D glasses in various bins. Once within safe distance from the ride, Han pulled his pair from inside his vest with a look of accomplishment on his face.

"Han, you were supposed to return those!" Leia said angrily.

"Nope. It said "please leave your 3-D glasses in the bins" not "you MUST leave your 3-D glasses in the bins." They need to be more specific. I took these babies to give to Luke for his souvenir."

Leia just rolled her eyes and said, "Let's go on the Indiana Jones ride."
