Ugh. Leia sighed. It had been a long day at the office, she had been in a meeting with that oh so stupid department of education( DOE) manager Dan all day, and then she had gone straight into another meeting with the council. The council was made up of 11 members, Mon mothma (galactic president), Leia solo(chief of state), Gial ackbar (supreme commander), and Han Solo, Luke skywalker, carlist rieekan, crix madine, Bel Iblis, Mara Skywalker, Borsk Feylya, and Jan dodona. They all were in meetings together almost all day, every day. Unfortunately for Leia, they didn't always all get along... Pretty much every day something happened and someone started yelling at another person. It was always just so ridiculous. She wished they would all just grow up and realize that fighting would get them nowhere. Unfortunately, that would only ever happen in an alternate universe.
It was only 5 am and Leia's phone was already blowing up! She had 3 missed FaceTime calls from dad, a tiktok notification saying that mon had posted a new tiktok, oh no, she could only imagine what that would be like.., and a phone call from Feylya. Oh how she despised Borsk Feylya! He was rude, obnoxious, and full of himself. Little did he know that everyone on the council ( Leia included) hated him. They would all talk badly about him when he wasn't around. She knew it was wrong, but she took part in it anyways. She was sure he said worse things about her.
Leia was jolted out of her thoughts by a sudden pounding feeling in her skull. If there was one thing in the world that she hated more than Feylya, it was headaches. She got them all of the time. Sometimes they would last for days at a time. It was horrible, distracting, and very painful. She would take as much Advil as the bottle said you could, but she still would have trouble getting through the day. Oh no! She thought, " I have meetings all day today!", hearing Jan, Dan, whatever his name is, drone on and on about school textbooks is going to be unbearable. " Sucks 2 b me", she thought.
Somehow, Leia was able to drag herself out of bed to go make coffee. Coffee was her life most days, it pretty much kept her alive at this point. She didn't know what she would do if it was ever taken away from her. As soon as the Keurig machine sputtered to a stop, she lifted her mug out from underneath it. " Ah, the smell of hot coffee." She felt an immediate boost after drinking the steaming caffeine. It was like someone flicked a power switch inside her head. She knew it wouldn't last though, the caffeinated feeling only stayed for an hour or so before she felt exhausted again. Then she would go to the councilors hallway kitchen and make herself another cup of coffee, or if she was in a meeting, she would make goldenrod go do it for her. After she finished drinking her coffee, she made herself some oatmeal. It was her go to breakfast food, as it was quick and easy to eat. She wasn't a very good cook, that was Han's are of expertise, but oatmeal was one of the few things she could make without messing up. Correction, not mess up too badly. Today she burned her finger on the side of the pot, and she had her entire hand sitting in a cup of ice when Han came downstairs. " Honey what happened", he asked, a concerned expression on his face. " It's nothing" Leia replied, " I just burned my finger on the side of the pot ." " Are you ok?", asked Han. " I'll be fine".
After Leia finished her oatmeal and got ready for work, it was time to drive to the office. She opened the door to the white Tesla that she drove and got in the front seat. Han jumped in the passenger seat next to her and they were off. She backed out of their garage and took the familiar rout to the coruscant city government building. Leia swore she could drive to this place and back blindfolded, she came here so much. When they walked in the front door they both scanned their identification cards and then walked down to the councilors hallway.
