Why would Han write Mon Mothma a letter??
I would highly hope…and doubt…that it's most definitely not a love letter of any sort.
Mon Mothma-
I know that you have made your decision in firing Leia, and made the decision of making me a general to the rebel alliance. I feel that if you fire Leia, then I will have to decline the position of general to the alliance, and join Leia in her hardship.
I've never seen Han write like this. He's actually writing like…like I would write. I didn't even know he knew the word 'hardship'.
She's a very intelligent and beautiful woman that any alliance would use. She made one lie and she made it to protect not only herself, but you as well. She has made great contributions to this rebel alliance, and without her, I bet that you wouldn't have gotten this far. I'm not just saying this because I am truly and deeply in love with her, I'm saying it because it's not right to take another thing away from a person when she lost almost everything she loves. She lost her home planet of Alderaan, which she was sure that it was her fault that it was destroyed, her father, her mother, her step-mother, her step-father, and she almost lost me. Are you really going to take away the rebel alliance too? Her life? Basically, I'm saying that if you fire Leia (for no real reason), then I'm leaving the alliance too. I hope that you hear me out, and that you will not fire Leia.
Thank you,
Han Solo
He actually would quit the alliance if she fired me? That's so…sweet. I looked around and then realized that no one was here.
Han!
SITH!
I ran out of the room and ran into the hangar, catching up with Luke.
"Luke!" I screamed, slowing down as I got closer to him.
"Leia." He smiled.
"Luke, please tell me what's wrong."
"I can't tell you. Well, at least not right now." He said, and then boarded the imperial ship.
I had to resist the urge to roll my eyes. Why can't he tell me? I followed Luke and boarded the ship.
"You got her warmed?" Han asked Luke.
"Yeah, she's comin' up." Luke says.
"These seats are too small. Don't they have Wookiee sized seats?" Chewie complained.
"No. I don't think the Empire had Wookiees in mind when they designed her, Chewie.
I enter the cockpit. I was about to sit down, but I noticed Han was frozen faced, staring through the cockpit window.
I decided to walk over to him.
"Hey, are you awake?" I asked him, shaking his shoulder warmly.
"Yeah, I just got a funny feeling. Like I'm not gonna see her again.
"Come on, General, let's move." I said, and then smiled at him and sat down in my seat next to Luke.
"Right. Chewie, let's see what this piece of junk can do. Ready everybody?"
"All set." Luke says.
"Here we go again." 3PO says in a very worried tone.
"All right, hang on." Han said.
The ship starts up and leaves the docking bay of the ship and zooms into space.
"Now what?" Luke asks.
"Cool it kid. I'm not ready yet. We have to make sure that the code works first."
Through the view screen, the Death Star and huge Super Star Destroyers are seen.
"If they don't go for this, we're gonna have to get outta here pretty quick, Chewie." Han said.
"Right." The wookiee growled.
"We have you on our screen now. Please identify." The controller spoke over the radio.
"Shuttle Tydirium requesting deactivation of the deflector shield."
"Shuttle Tydirium, transmit the clearance code for shield passage."
"Transmission commencing."
A high speed pitch of the transmission begins.
"Now we find out if that code is worth the price we paid." I said.
"It'll work. It'll work."
"I don't know cub."
"Vader's on that ship." Luke suddenly said.
How can he tell that?
"Now don't get jittery, Luke. There are a lot of command ships. Keep your distance though, Chewie, but don't look like you're trying to keep your distance."
"How am I supposed to do that?"
"I don't know. Fly casual." Han says.
"I'm endangering the mission. I shouldn't have come."
"It's your imagination, kid. Come on. Let's keep a little optimism here." Han said.
"He's right. We have to keep optimism."
"Thank you!" Han smiled back at me.
"Quit squawking you two love birds and pay attention."
I turned my head away and blushed.
"Fine." Han spat at him. After a while, Han finally speaks again. "They're not goin' for it, Chewie."
"Shuttle Tydirium, deactivation of the shield will commence immediately. Follow your present course."
Oh thank god. Everyone breaths in a sigh of relief. Well, mostly everyone. Everyone except for Luke, who still has that worried look on his face. Why is he so scared of Vader? If anyone should be scared of Vader, it should be me. He's done horrible things to me.
"Okay! I told you it was gonna work. No problem."
We move off towards the green planet and then land the ship.
"Come on team. Let's go."
Han takes my arm and pulls me back into the cockpit as Chewie and Luke leave.
"What?" I asked him.
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?"
"I don't know. I just have this feeling that something bad is going to happen down there. Just stick with me, okay Leia? These forests are really really thick, and if you get lost, we could never find you again. So stay with me."
"Okay Han, I'll stick with you." I smiled and he kissed me on the cheek.
"Let's go before the others get worried."
I smiled and Han took my hand before we walked out into the forest.
So there's the chapter…the POV's are going to switch from Han to Leia a lot during Endor. I don't know whose POV I'm going to do when Leia gets shot….either hers or Han's…I don't know. Anyways…Review!!
