"Leia. Wake up." Someone's voice broke through my sleep. Han? Luke?
"What?" I groaned, turning over.
"LEIA!" He screamed, and then rolled me over on the bed.
It's Han.
"Han! Stop it! I'm up already. What do you want?" I asked, sitting up in bed and then stretching.
"You have a meeting today in thirty minutes! You need to wake up!"
"Han, I don't have a meeting…I got fired, remember?"
"Leia." He said, sitting down next to me in bed. "You have to go to this meeting."
"Why?" I asked him.
"You have to show Mon Mothma that you really do care, and that she shouldn't have fired you."
"How am I supposed to do that?"
"Go to the meeting and make a comment about everything just do it Leia. I feel…bad…that I got promoted to General, and you got…well…"
"Fired. I know Han. You don't have to not say the word."
"Okay. But Leia, please, just trust me. Please?" He asked me. I looked at him and then smiled.
"You look like a little kid."
"Shut up." He blushed. I've never seen him blush before.
"Fine, I'll do it." I got up and got changed into my clothes and then grabbed my datapad before turning to Han. "Wish me luck!"
"Already wishin' sweetheart." He said, and then gave me a quick kiss on the cheek before letting me turn around and leave to go to the meeting room. I crossed the hall and went down several hallways before I got to the door. I can do this. You can do it Leia! You can do it!! Han trusts that it will work! You can do it!!
I sighed and opened the door.
"Senator Re…Leia?" Mon asked, turning around and then gasping. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm supposed to be here. See?" I said, picking up a sheet of paper on top of my data pad and showing it to her. It said 'Meeting for all Senators Room 321 1000 hours.' "Since I'm a senator, I'm supposed to be here." I said, and then snatched the paper from Mon's hands and then sat at the other head of the table.
"But I thought I fired you!"
All of the other senators in the room gasped and turned to look at Mon. They then started to yell at her.
They were saying stuff like, "How could you fire such a great senator?"
And "Leia is great!!"
And "Why did you do it??"
"SENATORS! SENATORS PLEASE!!" I screamed, and then stood up. "We all know that Mon Mothma has made a big mistake. Right?" I asked them.
"RIGHT!" They all screamed, but one senator spoke up.
"Senator Organa?"
"Yes?"
"Why did you get fired in the first place?"
"She lied to me about dating Han Solo." Mon spoke up and everyone in the room got quiet.
Oh goddess.
"You're dating Han Solo?" One senator asked.
"…Yes…" I said, and then looked down at the table and then blushed.
"After I promoted Han to General, I fired Leia for lying to me about their obvious feelings for each other. Then General Solo gave me a book…" Mon Mothma said, taking the diary out of her pocket. "I've yet to read it, but General Solo said that before I make my final decision of whether I'm going to officially fire Senator Organa or not, I should read it."
"Well have you read it?" I asked her.
"No."
"Then I'm not fired then, am I?" I asked her smugly and then sat down in my chair. "Please. Continue with the meeting." I said. Man, Han is really starting to rub off on me, I'm starting to talk and act like him.
After the Meeting…
"Leia!!" Mon screamed at me as I was about to leave the room.
"Yes?" I asked her.
"Why can't you just leave when you get fired like everyone else?"
"Because Mon Mothma…I can't get fired."
"Why not?" She asked, coldly.
"This rebel alliance is my life. I have almost nothing left. My home planet was destroyed, my mom died when I was a little baby, I never knew my dad, the only thing left I have is Han and the alliance!!! I need this Mon. I really do. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Han, but you have to understand this…I love him. That's all there is to it. I don't know why I do, but does it really matter whether I love him or not? No. It doesn't. So just read that book that Han gave you yesterday, and just…think about whether or not you're making a bad decision in firing me or not. Then tell me tomorrow." I said, and then turned around, looking back at her one more time and then leaving.
"How'd it go?" Han asked me when I entered my room.
"Fine I guess. I sort of yelled at her though."
"That's okay sweetheart." He said, and then brought me into a tight hug.
"I hope she changes her mind."
"Me too. Me too." Han said, holding me tightly in his arms.
The Next Day…
"Leia?" Mon asked, knocking on the door.
"Yes?" I answered, checking my hair one more time in the mirror. Han was out getting breakfast. I hope he gets back soon, I'm starving. I got up and opened up the door. "Have you made a decision?"
"Yes, I have."
"So what is it? Do I get fired? What did you decide?" I asked her.
"I decided that…."
HHAHAHAHAHA I'M SO EVIL!!!!!!! And just to let you know, I can do the stories both ways…fired….or not fired…so start getting mad at me for giving you a cliffie now!!! MWHAHAHHA!!!
xoxoxo,
