"Leia? Leia wake up!" A voice said.
"Huh? Han!" I giggled as the person tickled me to wake me up. "Han stop it! Just a few more minutes!" They tickled me more. "HAN! STOP! Just go make some Caff I'll be up in a little hon…"
"LEIA! THIS ISN'T HAN!! IT'S LUKE NOW WAKE UP!!" Luke?
OH GOD! LUKE!
I shot my eyes open and quickly sat up in bed. "Sorry." I said, looking down and Luke just sighed.
"Leia. Lando and Chewie are on the comlink. They are at Tatooine and think that they've found traces of Han."
"Really???" I almost screamed I was so excited, and then sat up in bed and got dressed, running after Luke and into the control room.
"Lando??" I asked into the comlink.
"Good morning Leia."
"Good morning." I smiled.
"Good morning Luke."
"Good morning Lando. Please continue with your information about Han."
"What? Oh yeah… Chewie? Where are those notes? Wait…how am I supposed to read this?? It's all messy!!! But…Fine." We could hear Lando talk to Chewie in the background. "Okay, here we go. Han is with Jabba the Hutt, which is in a remote part of Tatooine, on the other side of the planet. It should take us about two days to get to the other side…maybe three days."
"Oh." I quietly said. "Then what?"
"Then we have to…I guess we have to go with Chewie's idea which was to dress up like Jabba's guards and then you and Luke go to rescue him."
"When would that be?"
Lando laughed. "What's the rush Leia? Afraid you're going to miss kissing Han?"
I can't believe he just said that!! And right in front of Luke too. "Afraid that you're going to go too long without seeing your boyfriend?" He laughed.
Luke looked at me and I glanced up at him. "What?"
"He said…"
"I heard what he said Leia. Why did you lie to me?"
"I just…"
"You said you didn't love him."
"Luke I'm really…"
"No. Thanks a lot Leia. I thought that we were close enough that we could share everything with each other!"
"Luke I…" I said, but he was already walking out of the control room.
"UGH!" I screamed and I sat down in the chair.
A couple minutes later, Lando started to speak again. "Leia?"
"What?"
"You didn't tell him?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because…" I paused. "Because Han had told me that Luke had strong feelings for me and I didn't want to hurt him."
"When were you going to tell him Leia?"
"I don't know. I guess when we get Han back."
"So you'd rather have Luke see you and Han kiss than you to just tell him that you're in love with one of his best friends?"
"I don't know. I need to rest. My brain hurts."
"But Leia, you just got up."
"I did?"
"Yeah, I think you need some rest. Bye."
"Goodbye Lando. Goodbye Chewie." I said, and I turned off the comlink and headed to my room. I sat down on my bed and took out my journal and started to write in it.
Dear Han,
Today I woke up. Well, actually Luke woke me up. He told me that Lando and Chewie had information about your whereabouts. Luke said that I kept saying your name in my sleep. When Lando told us your whereabouts, he accidentally said something like, "What's the rush? Afraid you won't see your boyfriend sooner?" Or something like that and Luke got really mad, and yelled at me. He said I lied to him. I guess I did. I told him that I didn't love you, and he seemed to believe it…sort of. I guess he only liked to joke about you and me getting together, not actually have it happen. He joked about it last night when I went to get ready for bed. So in other words, Luke knows about us. He isn't taking it very well. I really need to talk to him about it. It's not my fault you're so handsome you scoundrel! My bed was very empty today and last night. I apparently woke up asking for you to give me a few more minutes in bed and for you to make me some Caff. Luke yelled at me about that too. I guess he was kind of upset that I called him your name. Mon Mothma still doesn't know, and I think that I'd like to keep it that way, at least until we get you back. Oh god I miss you so much. I've become delusional, did I tell you that? I thought it was lunch time when I got up. Or did I think that it was dinner time? I don't know. I need you back something fierce. I really need you back. I love you. I love you. I love you, Han Solo.
Much Love,
Leia
I decided to get up and go and check on Luke, and see how he's doing. Oh god I feel so awful for not telling him. I guess I was just in denial.
"Luke?" I asked as I knocked on his cabin door. 745. I have to remember that. 745 745 745.
He opened the door and then sighed. "What Leia? What else haven't you told me?"
"I'm sorry I lied to you Luke. I really am. I just didn't know what you were going to say when you found out about me and Han."
"Okay. All right. Fine." He said, looking down at his feet.
"If it's all right then why are you still sad?"
"I'm not sad."
"Now don't you lie to me too! Luke, I know you too well. What else is troubling you?"
"Um..." Luke slid his hand up and down the door, thinking about the right words. "No." He shook his head.
"What? I can take it. What?" I asked him.
"Okay…Um…Okay…Why couldn't you love me instead of him?"
