Chapter 31
The next morning, Han woke up to find Leia sitting on the side of the bed, munching happily on the Alderaanian brittle crackers that he had procured for her the night before.
"You'd better enjoy those," he proclaimed suddenly, causing Leia to jump and almost choke on the crackers she was chewing.
"I em enzoying zem, zanks, sthweetie," she replied with a mouth full of crackers.
Han had to smile at that. "So, the revered Princess of Alderaan has stooped so low she now talks with her mouth full?"
Leia swallowed quickly so she wouldn't miss the chance to respond with her own jibe. "Some would merely blame it on the shady company she's decided to keep."
"Do you mean me, or one of your illicit affairs?"
"Oh, the illicit affairs, of course," she joked, glad that the whole media mess was becoming one big joke, rather than a big fiasco. Hopefully that would still be true when it came time to open up the adoption organization. She kissed Han quickly, and then went back to eating her beloved crackers. "That was really nice of you to get these for me last night…or this morning. I would have gone crazy if I hadn't had them."
"Well, that's good you appreciate them, because now Wedge thinks I'm crazy since I went into his place at 3:00 in the morning to get crackers. I'll never live that one down."
"Oh, I think you have bigger issues to worry about. Oh, Han, I almost forgot. Since tomorrow I have to go back to the Senate and you have to start setting up the agency, I got something special for us."
"Oh yeah?" Han said suggestively. "Like what?"
"A holofilm!" Leia cried, clapping her hands together.
"A holofilm?" Han asked, wrinkling his nose. "What's so special about that?"
"Remember that ride we went on in Corellia Land, where there was the droid that looked just like you?"
"Yeah…"
"Well, I rented the film! It's called Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. It's from somewhere in the Unknown Regions. It's supposed to be really exciting."
"Well, it's worth a shot…" he said somewhat doubtfully.
"It'll be great! I promise."
