As Leia storms into her quarters annoyed, she instinctively extends her hand, causing some kind of energy to surge from deep within her. A power that she's felt before, but never so pleasantly strong, or been able to control. The Force.

Leia's cot slams into the wall noisily. She stands there, shocked. Ever since Luke shared his suspicions that Leia is Force sensitive, she tried to use it with no avail, until now.

Leia extends her hand again, trying to lift the cot. She narrows her eyes, beginning to feel frustrated. But I just did it! Leia thinks, almost growling, determined to use the Force again, and she does. Suddenly her cot flies up, it stays hovering shakily meters from the floor, even after she moves her hand back.

Quickly, Leia forces the cot back to the ground, making a quick sweeping motion with her hand. "Woah," Leia whispers to herself, a bewildered, prideful grin taking over her face,"I did it."

Leia's heart pounds heavily in chest, pumping what to her feels like pure, golden power through her veins. Nothing can compare to this glorious feeling.

"You look very… different." Luke looks into Leia's eyes, squinting, trying to find what's different about her.

Leia's eyebrows raise, almost nervously,"Really?"

Luke nods,"Yeah. I don't know what it is though, you just seem… I don't know, just different."

Leia let's out a small chuckle,"I do feel a quite a bit more confident in this mission, maybe that's it? Although, I'm not sure how that would affect how I look."

Luke shrugs,"You're probably right. It's just that you've got this gleam in your eyes, it's different. But you feel more confident, how?"

"Well last night, I was just thinking," Leia looks down, trying to figure out an explanation without revealing anything about her using the Force,"And I just thought of Han, how we're going to save him, we have to. I just realized that there's no room for doubt in this situation, we have to succeed."

Luke nods,"Yes, and we will," his expression still seems apprehensive, but he still manages to lend Leia a comforting smile.

"Thank you, so much. I hardly express my gratitude, I didn't think you would be able to prepare for our mission so quickly." Leia's usual diplomatic demeanor fades, quickly being replaced by a giddy one at the news that she and her newly formed squad will depart for Tatooine tomorrow. Mon Mothma's newly revised plan will ensure maximum safety and greatly reduced the anxiety that consumed many Rebels, for they most certainly did not want to lose any friends.

"Leia, I trust your instincts. When you first proposed your plan to rescue Captain Solo, I immediately knew that we had to go through with the mission. Solo has been a great help to the Alliance in the past, and If you believe that he will continue to be after he is rescued, then I see no reason that I, or anyone else for that matter, shouldn't," Mon Mothma smiles at Leia before looking around a everyone else,"Now, I strongly advise that all of you go get rest, tomorrow is the start of considerable pursuit."

The squad boisterously expresses their optimism as they head out of the meeting room. Luke clasps Leia's shoulder, beaming,"Can you believe it, Leia? We got some of the best equipment this mission, they really care about Han."

"I know, I really can't believe it. But we should really get some rest now, we can't afford to fail this mission, I'll see you tomorrow, Luke." Leia looks up at Luke, her expression so ecstatic some may even wonder if she is actually Leia.

Luke nods before going off with the rest of the squad, leaving Leia alone as she walks back to her quarters.

NOTES: Alright... so, I never intended to not update this story for such a prolonged period of time, but school kind of got in the way and then I lost a lot of motivation to continue writing. I do plan on finishing this story; however, I cannot guarantee that I will update frequently, but do expect more. It was very difficult for me to get back into writing this, that's most likely why it is so short, but nonetheless, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, please review and constructive criticism will be greatly appreciated (:
