"Han, what are you going to do?" He grinned and then picked me up, bridal style, and carried me into the imperial walker, setting me down on the floor by his feet.

"This is an Imperial designed…thing, right?"

"Well yes."

"And the people in the bunker are Imperial people, right?"

"Yes." I nodded my head, and he squatted down in front of me so his face was my level. I smiled. "What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking that we can trick the imperials into coming out here, and then they all…you know…"

"Die?" I asked him.

He laughed. "Yeah…… Die."

"How come I have the feeling that you don't like to use that word that much?" He just bent his head down and then looked up at me the same way that he did that fateful day in Bespin, right before Lando came to escort us for 'refreshments'. I looked at him and he just stood up and walked away.

"Chewie!" I could hear him scream.

"What?" Chewie asked him.

"Stay with the princess, okay?"

"Why don't you? You're the one who's her boyfriend…"

"Listen, Chewie, She's injured, and I have a plan. Just go…stand by her. Here, give her this blanket."

"You little…."

"DON'T EVEN SAY IT!!" Han screamed at him. "Now GO!" He pushed him out of the door.

Whatever I must have said, it really hurt Han.

Maybe it was the fact that I mentioned the word…Die. But why would that word hurt him so much?

"Hey princess." Chewie said, sitting down next to me on the ground and wrapping a blanket around me.

"Hey."

"Something wrong?" He asked me.

"It's just….Han. I think I did something that set him off."

"Nothing you ever say sets him off. But what did you two talk about anyways? I mean, I saw you talk a little, but what happened?"

"Well, he was telling me about this plan he had, and he said something like 'I'm thinking that we can trick the imperials into coming out here, and then they all…you know…' and I said, 'Die?' and he said, 'Yeah….die.' I think I really set him off. Let me talk to him." I said, getting up and then screaming in pain. I clutched my shoulder and winced before falling back onto the ground.

"LEIA! Are you okay?"

I had to be honest. I can't lie. I just can't. Senators don't lie. "No." I whispered, and then closed my eyes and let my head lay back onto the floor.

"Leia?" Han ran out of the door to the cockpit of the AT walker, and then screamed, "LEIA!!!" I could hear him run over to me, and his hot breath on my neck as he picked me up and then brought me into the cockpit, setting me in his lap. My eyes opened and I saw Han's eyes. They were filled with pain.

Strong pain.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed his cheek. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry Han, I really am."

He grinned. "I'm the one who should be sorry. Now, forget about it. See, I'm going to dress up as an imperial guard and then send a transmission that says something about the rebels running away or something, and then they're going to run outside, and we're going to make them let us into the bunker. And you….you're going to stay here."

"Here?"

"Yeah, you'll be safe. We'll get you when we're finished, okay?"

"O-Okay." I faked a smile, and he dressed us as the imperial guard and then turned to Chewie.

"CHEWIE!!!! IS THE TRANSMISSION IN??" He screamed at the wookiee down the hall.

"Yes. Good to go."

Han looked over at me, and then picked me up and placed me on the ground. "You just stay there."

I nodded, and he picked up the transmitter. A week hologram of officers came onto the screen. "It's over, Commander. The Rebels have been routed. They're fleeing into the woods. We need reinforcements to continue the pursuit." Han said.

"Send 3 squads to help. Open the back door." The imperial commander said, and Han then turned off the transmitter and the Imperial helmet before grabbing his blaster and then running towards the door.

"HAN!" I screamed, and he ran back to me.

"Yeah Sweetheart?"

I grabbed his shoulder with my good arm and pulled him towards me, giving him a kiss. "Good luck."

He grinned. "Stay safe." He said before running out of the walker.

"You too." I whispered and then lay my head on the wall next to me.

After about 15 minutes, I had nothing to do. Then, I heard footsteps walking up the steps of the walker.

Han?

Han was back this early?

"Han?" I asked, trying to strain my neck to see who it was. I saw a part of a white suit, and then I gasped and pulled my knees up to my chest. My heart was beating so fast, that I think the stormtroopers could hear it.

"Get this thing away from here. Go. Get to the controls." One said, and then I could hear steps towards me.

Oh no.

They entered the control room and then stopped and looked at me, pointing their weapons at me. "Well, what do we have here?"

"Why aren't you with the rest of them?"

I didn't want to talk to them. "I'm…injured. Han…he told me to stay here." I whispered.

"Well we can fix your injury, RIGHT NOW!" They screamed, and then loaded their weapons, their fingers on the trigger.

I'm going to die.

Where is Han when I need him the most?

"Please! No! PLEASE!!"

"What are you final words?"

"HAN!!!!!!!!!" I screamed as loud as I could. "I LOVE YOU!!!!!!"

Suddenly, the next thing I knew, there was a banging of feet on the platform, and then a commanding officer came up and picked me up off of the floor and shoved me out of the walker. "AHHH!!!!" I screamed as I fell down onto the ground and then closed my eyes, blacking out.

The next thing I knew, there was an explosion, and I looked up and saw debris everywhere, and I was going to fall on me. "AHHHHH!!!!" I screamed again, and then shielded my face with my good arm. Why did this happen to me? "Han….where are you?" I whispered, and then sat up a little bit to see if he was there.

"HAN!!!" I screamed, and he turned from Chewie to look at me on the ground.
"LEIA!!!!" He screamed, and then ran over to me, rubbing my back and then asking me what happened.

"Well the stormtroopers came onto the walker and then were going to shoot me, but the imperial commanding officer shoved me off the walker instead, and I landed here. But I'm all right."

"Good, because I couldn't loose you. Oh, I couldn't loose you sweetheart." He said, pulling me into a tight hug, his face buried in my hair. "I love you."

"I know." I smiled and he picked me up.

"Come on, let's get you cleaned up, and then we'll count the stars." I grinned and then kissed him on the cheek…again.

"You really know how to treat women."

He grinned. "Only you."
