"Um…" How could I respond without hurting his feelings? "Um…Luke…I don't…I don't know…I'm sorry." I said, turning around and then heading back to my room. It's going to be a long night.

3 DAYS LATER

Dear Han,

Luke hasn't talked to me for 3 days now. I think that it's a new record. I'm not going to write much because Luke, 3PO, R2D2, and I are meeting up with Lando and Chewie in Tatooine. Apparently I'm going to dress up like a bounty hunter and Chewie's going to be my barter tool for you. I hope that Jabba will take Chewie and give me you. I don't think it will work. But if it does work, then Lando is going to release Chewie from Jabba's clutches…somehow. Lando's going to dress up as one of Jabba's guards. If that plan doesn't work, Luke's going to step in and use some sort of Jedi mind trick to make him give us you and Chewie. Hopefully it's going to work. I know I've said this a billion times, but I miss you really badly. Meetings are boring. Luke won't talk to me. Everything is bad. Please Han. Please be alive. I love you.

Love,

Your Princess

I put the diary into my pocket and then walked towards the landing pad. It was time to take off and go to Tatooine.

"Hey Leia." Luke sadly said.

"Hey…Luke…I'm really really sorry. Can we just move on now?"

"I guess… I guess I was being too hard on you. I should be the one that is sorry, not you. You listened to your heart, and I respect that. I'm sorry."

"Thanks." I smiled, putting my hands behind his head and pulling him into a hug. "Luke…" I whispered as I twirled the back of his hair just the way I used to twirl Han's.

"Let's go." Luke said, walking up the ramp, and I just smiled and walked up after him.

We were mostly in silence the way to Tatooine. When we finally got there, we landed the ship and Lando and Chewie were already standing there.

"Hey!!!" Lando shouted at us.

"HEY!!" Luke and I screamed as we ran towards them.

"This is the furthest city on Tatooine. My guess is that it's the closest one to Jabba's." Lando said. "We need directions, but we don't really fit into the surroundings…well Chewie and I don't. Luke surely does, and Leia…you do." I looked down at my outfit.

I was dressed in white fighter pants, white boots, a white long sleeved shirt, and a big white shawl that was wrapped around my neck and shoulders.

"Excuse me?" I asked.

"Look, just go into town and ask someone in a shop if they know where Jabba the Hutt is. If they ask why you want to know, just either go find someone else, or say 'That's none of your business, is it?' Okay?"

"Okay." I nodded my head.

"Oh, and it would probably be better if you two held hands."

"Why?" I asked.

"Because it may throw people off and not want to hurt either one of you…especially Leia…because they think that you're married and that you have a bodyguard."

"Huh?"

"Just do it."

I took Luke's hand and then walked towards the city.

"Come on. Let's check in here…sweetheart."

"Okay." I said, walking with him towards an old repair shop.

"Excuse me." I said to the person who was rummaging under the desk.

"Yes?" He asked, and then fluttered up. He wasn't a person at all! He had wings and was…was blue!! He had a rather large nose too.

"Hi. I'm Leia Organa and this is Luke Skywalker and we just…"

"Skywalker?"

"Yes." Luke said.

"Ani?"

"Excuse me?"

"Ani. Anakin. Anakin Skywalker… and Padme? Padme!"

"Padme? That was my mother's name."

"Anakin. That was my father's name."

"My mother knew your father?"

"I guess…" Luke trailed off.

"Name's Watto." The blue creature interrupted us.

"Well…Watto. We need directions to Jabba the Hutt. We need to get our friend back."

"Oh…simple. Go down the street right here and keep going…hm…till you get to the mountain there. Then go right until you see a palace near the mountain and there you go."

"Thanks." I said, turning around and the leading Luke out of the mechanic's shop.

"Bye Padme and Ani!"

As soon as we got outside, I turned to Luke. "Why did he call us Padme and Ani?"

"I-I don't know."

"Well come on, we better get back to Lando and Chewie."

When we got back to the two, they were leaning up against the Falcon.

"LEIA! LUKE! Did you figure out where he is?"

"In the mountain. A palace in the mountain." Luke said.

"Great! Get into the Falcon. We'll be there in moments."

Luke and Chewie boarded the ship and I was just about to follow when Lando stopped me.

"Leia. Wait."

"Yes?"

"What happened?"

"Excuse me?"

"What happened? You look like you've seen a ghost."

"I-I think I have."

"What?" Lando curiously asked.

"The person we asked for directions…he knew my mother….he knew Luke's father…he kept calling us…Padme….and…and…Ani. It was just weird."

Lando stared at me for a moment in a look that said 'How did you find out?' and then shook his head and patted me on the back. "You just need Han back to tell you it's all right. Come on." He said, walking up the ramp of the Falcon.

I looked around the desert planet and said, "Maybe I do just need Han back. But maybe…just maybe I'm not crazy when I say that there must be something that I don't know." I shook my head and sighed before boarding the Falcon.
