Chewie was helping me repair a circuit board on the Falcon, guiding my hands with his huge hairy ones when Han walked in.
He immediately started to flip some switches and then started to talk. "I'm going to shut down everything except for the emergency power system." He said, flipping another switch and then turning to the dashboard. I would occasionally glance over at Han, but Chewie would always bark at me to pay attention or something.
I didn't really understand, but he said something to me every time that I turned to look at Han.
"I'm almost afraid to ask, but does that include shutting me down too?" 3PO said as the engine shut off. Maybe 3PO will figure out what's wrong with the hyperdrive.
"No. Need you to talk to the Falcon. Find out what's wrong with the hyperdrive." Han said, smiling at him rather sarcastically. Hold on. I just…
The floor suddenly began to rock, and we moved back and forth. I desperately tried to grab onto the back of a chair as everyone else went flying back and then forward again.
"Sir. It's quite possible this asteroid is not entirely stable." 3PO says to Han.
Not entirely stable? Well I'm GLAD he's here to tell us these things…. It's only so obvious.
"Not entirely stable? Well I'm glad you're here to tell us these things…." Han started. Wait. That was weird. I just thought that… "Chewie, take the professor into the back and plug him into the hyperdrive."
Chewie growled a response and then grabbed 3PO, dragging him out of the cockpit. "Sometimes I just don't understand human behavior. After all, I'm only trying to do my job in the first place…" The droid started, but neither Han nor I really bothered to care. Hold on. It's just me and Han in the cockpit. Just try to keep your cool Leia. Try to act as though you don't even know that he's there. Just continue with the repairs and…. The ship began to rock again, and it threw me across the cockpit into Han's arms, who was pushed into one of the chairs.
I actually liked the feel of his big, strong arms around me, protectively. What am I thinking? It's Han Solo! I do NOT like HAN SOLO!!!
"Let go." I command him.
"Shhh." He says to me, trying to listen to the sounds of the ship. It was obvious he just wanted me to stay in his arms longer.
"Let go please!" I say, pushing my body against his arms around me, trying to get out. I only pushed one time. I could get used to this… DO NOT THINK THAT ORGANA! GET IT TOGETHER! He's probably going to blow it by telling me not to get excited or worked up or something….
"Don't get excited!" Han said.
I knew it. How do I know this stuff? "Captain, being held by you isn't quite enough to get me excited." I said, thinking earlier about his first offer.
"Then why are you following me? Afraid I was going to leave without giving you a goodbye kiss?"
"I'd just as soon kiss a wookie." I spat at him, disgusted by his offer.
"I can arrange that!" He screamed, storming away before yelling, "You could use a good kiss!"
He reluctantly picked me up off of his lap and then got up too. "Sorry Sweetheart. We haven't got time for anything else." He grinned and then walked out of the cockpit.
Yeah. We don't. We have lots of repairs to do on this bucket of bolts, and we need to return to the rebel alliance!
They must be worried sick about me! "What am I going to do?" I murmured to myself, while haphazardly yanking a wire out of the circuit board. It went crazy and started to whip around, sparks flying out of it. The sparks were landing with a hiss on the seats, and the floor.
"Ahhh!" I screamed, trying to duck the sparks. I quickly grabbed the wire and then tried to put it back into the circuit board, but it burnt my finger, and I hollered out in pain, falling to the floor.
"Han." I managed to say. Why did I call for him? "Han come please!"
The wire was still going wild as it was slashing around, sparks continually flying out.
Just then, the cockpit door slid open, and no other than Han Solo came running in and screamed, "Leia!!" He picked me up off of the floor and pushed me over to the side before running over to the wire.
He took his bare hand and grabbed the wire, connecting it, and then shoving it back into the circuit board.
"I heard a scream and came running! You all right?" He asked urgently, turning around and walking over to me.
"Yeah. Fine." I said, looking down, and then running out of the cockpit.
Review Please!!!! Pretty please? Review or I will send people from a galaxy far, far, away to hunt you down and assassinate you!
