"I'm sorry I caused you all that heartache Han." Leia said to me, running her hands up and down my chest.
"It's okay." I smiled, pushing a strand of hair out of her face.
"No, it isn't. You thought I loved Luke, didn't you?" She asked me, a sad look on her face.
I sighed before I spoke. "….Yes, Leia….I did."
"Well I don't, so don't you worry you handsome smuggler." She laughed, pinching my cheeks.
"I'm not worrying anymore." I smiled again, and then brought my face up to hers, our lips meeting in a fiery embrace.
Suddenly, someone started to shake my shoulder, and Leia disappeared off of my body. "CUB!" They screamed, and I opened my eyes.
Why I outta kill that stupid son of a sith wookiee….
"What??" I shouted at Chewie. "Way to kill a good dream Chewie." I said, standing up and then looking around, realizing that Leia wasn't there. "Where's Leia?"
"She went to go and change into some different clothes."
"Right." I said, and then walked towards Leia's hut.
She was standing in front of the mirror, putting on some makeup.
"Hey." I said, leaning up against the door frame.
She turned and then smiled. "Hey to you too."
I grinned back at her. "Ready? Today is the big day."
"I know."
"Today we destroy the empire." I said, and she didn't respond, she just gazed longingly into my eyes. "What?" I asked her after a long silence.
Automatically, she snapped out of her gaze and then blushed a little before saying, "Nothing."
I rolled my eyes and then moved behind her, wrapping my arms around her neck. "It's not nothing Leia."
She looked at my reflection through the mirror, and then grinned. "It is too."
"Did you like something you saw, princess?"
"Yes."
I was shocked by her answer. "Really? What did you see?"
She grinned again and then turned around in my embrace. "You." She said, before kissing me on the cheek and then taking my hand. "Come on, let's go. We've got a battle to win here."
I smiled back at her and then followed her out of the hut.
Leia's POV
He's so handsome!
And the way he leaned up on the door frame like that? It took my breath away. Maybe it's just because I'm so in love with him.
"You two love birds ready?" Chewie asked, and Han and I both ignored the comment.
"Yep." Han said. "Ready as ever." I turned to the two teddy bears and then motioned them to follow us. We made it towards the base, recruiting with the rest of the rebel squad, and then stopped, hiding behind a log. We look onto the Bunker that leads to the generator. Four Imperial scouts, and speeder bikes are parked nearby, keeping watch over the entrance to the bunker and the shield generator.
"Paploo says that there is back door to the generator."
"Back door, huh? Good idea." Han says, as the two Ewoks continue their conversation that only the two ewoks (and 3PO) can understand. "It's only a few guards. This shouldn't be much trouble." Han says, and I rest one of my hands on his shoulder.
"Well, it only takes on to sound the alarm." I say to him.
He turns his head around and then grins at me. "Then we'll do it real quiet-like." I grin back at him.
"Oh! Oh, my. Uh, Princess Leia!" 3PO screams. I run over to him and clasp my hand over his metallic mouth.
"Quiet." I said. Goddess, this droid doesn't shut up or be quiet!
"I'm afraid our furry companion has gone and done something rather rash." 3PO says.
Huh?
I look back towards the base and sigh. "Oh, no."
The Ewok had slipped out of the forest to where the scouts were lounging. He climbs onto the speeder bike and begins randomly flipping switches. Then, the bike's engine starts to fire up, and the scouts leap up in surprise.
"There goes our surprise attack." Han sighs. He's right. There it goes, down the drain.
"Look! Over there! Stop him!" the scouts scream and three other scouts jump onto their bikes and speed away in pursuit of the small Ewok. I grin at Han who grins back at me. His smile is gorgeous.
"Not bad for a little furball. There's only one left. You stay here. We'll take care of this." Han and Chewie nod at each other as they slip down towards the bunker.
"I have decided that we shall stay here." 3PO says, standing next to Wicket and Artoo.
I watch Han sneak up behind the remaining Imperial scout and tap him on the shoulder, letting the scout chase him behind the bunker and into the arms of the waiting rebel strike team. "Come on." He says to me, in a smile and then grabs my arm, pulling me towards the bunker door's control panel. Everyone stands out of sight as the door opens. Han and I peek inside and realize that no one is in there. We silently enter the bunker, leaving only one person behind, for lookout.
Han turns to me and I look at him, nodding my head and then we continue forward. We blast through the main control room door, taking all of the personnel prisoner. "All right! Up! Move! Come on! Quickly! Quickly, Chewie."
The strike team herds the generator controllers away from their panels. I glance down at one of them. Oh no!
"Han! Hurry! The fleet will be here any moment!" I give him a desperate glance and he screams at the strike team.
"Charges! Come on, come on!"
Han looks up from the setting charges as an Imperial commander enters.
"Freeze! You Rebel scum."
Han and I spin to find dozens of Imperial weapons pointed at us. They move slowly and menacingly towards me and Han, and Han reaches out and grabs me, holding me in his arms as a type of protection. The commanding officer smirks at us, and I wrap my arms tighter around Han.
"Make sure that these two are separated." He smirks, and then motions the officers behind him to take us.
They walk towards us and then grab my arms, ripping them away from Han's waist, and then pulling me away. I try to pull back, but I can't. I'm helpless.
"NO!" Han screams, kicking the trooper from in back of him. All the guns pointed at him. "Don't hurt her." He says, still fighting in the stormtrooper's grip.
"Now, we can either do this the hard way, or the easy way. I suggest that you come quietly with me."
I look at Han in desperation, and then they stick our hands on top of our heads, pushing us out of the bunker.
When we reach the outside of the bunker, there are hundreds of storm troopers and AT-AT walkers surrounding the generator, all pointing their guns at us.
So this is how liberty dies.
