"Kid. Hey! Kid! LUKE!" I screamed at the blonde haired boy that was walking in front of me. Goddess that kid is deaf.
"Yeah?"
"Where did you last see her? Let's go there first, and then we'll look somewhere else."
"General Solo?" 3PO asked, and I had to resist the urge to roll my eyes at him. I quickly turned around.
"What?" I spat at him.
"We're not going to find her." He said.
"Yeah we are. Come on. Be optimistic people. Let's go!" I screamed, and then walked in front of Luke.
A while later, Luke stopped. "This is where I last saw her." He said.
"Come on, let's spread out and look for her." I said, and then we start to go different directions. Luke runs off to my right, and Chewie starts to look near my left.
Wait, what's that?
It looks to be…a speeder. Leia's speeder. Oh goddess she did die!
"Luke! Luke!!" I scream, and Luke runs over to me with a helmet in his hands.
"Oh, Master Luke." 3PO sadly says, pointing to the speeder on the ground.
"There's two more wrecked speeders back there. And I found this." Luke says, tossing the helmet to me. It's Leia's helmet. I know it is!
"I'm afraid that Artoo's sensors can find no trace of Princess Leia." 3PO says.
I sigh and look down at the ground before looking back up at Luke. "I hope she's alright." I gravely say. Oh goddess, she can't be dead. She just can't! I got her…well I got Mon Mothma to agree not to fire her! What am I supposed to say to the rebel alliance if she dies??
Chewbacca interrupts my thoughts, growling a, 'Yum' and then sniffing the air.
"What, Chewie?"
"Come with me!" Chewie barks, running through the trees.
"What? Chewie!" I scream, running after him. We finally catch up to him, and Chewie stops at this tall stake planted in the ground with a dead animal hanging from it.
"Hey, I don't get it. Nah, it's just a dead animal, Chewie." I said, sighing and then turning around.
Chewie can't resist free food though, and he reaches towards the meat. Luke lunges at the wookiee and yells, "Chewie, wa-wait! Don't!" But it's too late because I suddenly find myself hanging upside down in a big net, suspended in the air.
Great.
Just great.
How am I supposed to find Leia now?
"Nice work. Great, Chewie. Great! Always thinking with your stomach."
"Will you take it easy? Let's just figure out a way to get out of this thing. Han, can you reach my lightsaber?" Luke asks me.
"Yeah, sure!" I say, trying to move past Chewie and the droids to get to Luke at the other side of the net.
Suddenly, the net collapses, and we all drop out, landing on the ground.
Ugh.
That was a nasty fall. But we have to look for Leia. I sit up and then give a confused look. What are these things? They're like miniature Chewie's. Strange. I smile at the amusmant of these little teddy bears walking towards us. One sticks their spear in my face, and my smile changes.
"Wha--? Hey! Point that thing someplace else." I said, grabbing the spear and shoving it out of my face. Then he puts it back into my face. Okay that's it! I angrily grab the spear and then reach for my pistol. "HEY!"
"Han, don't. It's be all right."
The teddy bears swarm through us and start to grab out weapons. Wait…what is that kid doing?? He just gave that fuzz-ball his lightsaber! They try to take Chewie's crossbow, but he growls at them, telling them to get off.
"Chewie, give 'em your crossbow." Luke says, and Chewie unwillingly gives it over to them.
The two annoying droids finally untangle themselves from each other and sit up. "Oh, my head. Oh, my goodness!" 3PO screams. All of the teddy bears start to murmur among themselves and then 3PO speaks to them in their native tongue. They all then bow down to him, chanting to him.
"Do you understand anything they're saying?"
"Oh, yes, Master Luke! Remember that I am fluent in over six million forms of communication." 3PO says, but I roll my eyes and cut him off.
"What are you telling them?"
"Hello, I think…I could be mistaken. They're using a very primitive dialect. But I do believe that they think I am some sort of god."
I look at Luke and I can tell he's holding back a laugh. The annoying golden rod…a god?? Hah. Hahaha.
"Well, why don't you use your divine influence and get us out of this?" I asked 3PO.
"I beg your pardon, General Solo, but that just wouldn't be proper."
"Proper?!" I scream at him. Why I outta-
"It's against my programming to impersonate a deity." Whoever programmed him was crazy!!
"Why you—" I move towards the droid threateningly, and the teddy bear's spears are thrust into my face.
I hold my hands in surrender. "My mistake. He's an old friend of mine."
Okay, so that didn't work. So here I am, tied to a very long pole, wrapped in vines. Now I have no chance in finding Leia. What if the imperials caught her? That would be horrible. They brought my across a bridge and placed me over a barbecue pit.
"I have a really bad feeling about this." I said, looking around.
"Me too." Chewie growls.
How come 3PO, the most annoying droid in the galaxy, gets a throne?! I should get the throne! I'm handsome! Well, Leia thinks I'm handsome…The teddy bear speaks to 3PO, and I turn to the droid.
"What did he say?" I asked him.
"I'm rather embarrassed, General Solo, but it appears you are to be the main course at a banquet in my honor."
Great!
The drums start beating, and all of the furry heads turn to the large hut. I better turn my head too.
Leia!
She emerges from the hut wearing an animal skin dress with her beautiful hair hanging down.
"LEIA!" Luke and I both scream at the girl.
She moves towards us, but the Ewoks block her way with their spears.
"Oh!"
They're gonna hurt her!
"Your Royal Highness." 3PO says.
"But these are my friend. Threepio, tell them they must be set free."
3PO tries to tell them, but they shake their heads in a negative fashion.
"Somehow, I got the feeling that didn't help us very much." I said.
Well, I may die, but I know that Leia's safe.
That's all that matters to me.
So there's the chapter. 3PO said my penname…Your Royal Highness!!! Tehehe. Okay, well just review!!!
xoxox,
Alexandra
