I sat down next to Han in the grass. He took off my poncho and looked at my wound.
"Leia. The blood…it's all over your shirt. You probably need to go change. I'll go get the medical kit from Chewie. I'll meet you…over there by those rocks." He said, pointing towards a secluded corner of the forest.
I smiled. "Okay."
After I got changed, I met Han over by the rocks and he got out the bandages and started to wrap my arm.
I gasped and pulled back in pain.
"Sorry." Han blushed, wrapping the bandage loosly around my arm, his hands shaking. This isn't like Han at all.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Really it's nothing." He said, and then we heard an explosion. I looked up at the sky and saw the Death Star blow up in front of my very eyes.
YES!
No more Vader!
No one to torture me…no more…father.
What about Luke?
Maybe if I use the force I can hear him calling for me. Maybe I can tell if he's still alive!
Han's POV
I looked back down from the sky and looked back at Leia. She continues to look at the sky as if she's listening for something.
Luke.
She's listening for Luke.
Solo, how could you be so damn stupid?!
She's in love with that farm boy.
You blew it Solo. You did. But don't show any emotions towards how your heart was just broken.
"I'm sure Luke wasn't on that thing when it blew."
"He wasn't." She said, continuing to look up at the sky. "I can feel it."
She can feel it?
That's how it is?
She can feel it?
Oh goddess, she must be really close to him. I have to ask her. I have to know.
"You love him, don't you?" I asked, sighing and then looking down at the ground before looking back up at her.
She rips her eyes from the sky and smiles at me. "Yes."
That's it.
"All right. I understand." Not. "FINE. When he comes back, I won't get in the way." I said, and then was ready to stand up and just kick dirt in her face, storming away with a broken heart when I saw a confused look on her face which made me stay.
"Oh. No, it's not like that at all." She said, touching my shoulder lightly. "He's my brother."
Her brother?
I turned my face away from her, my mouth dropping down onto the ground.
She takes her hand and pulls my head towards her, giving me a kiss. She loves me! She still loves me!!!!!! That makes sense why she was so upset about Vader being her father, Vader is not only her father, but Luke's father too!! I put my arm around her and kissed her again before a teddy bear patted me on the back and Leia reached up to pet him before he finally went away again.
"I love you."
"I love you too Han." She said, and then kissed me wrapping both of her arms around my neck. I wrapped my arms around her back, and then we fell onto the ground, Leia's petite body falling on top of mine. She broke away from the kiss and then giggled before kissing me again. We started to roll down the hill, and I felt like a little kid. Actually I felt like a teenager with their first girlfriend.
"Hey you two lovebirds!!" Chewie growled at us, and I broke away from the kiss and looked up at him.
"What? Can't you see I'm a little busy here?"
"I can certainly see, Cub. We're having a party tonight at the Ewok village."
"E what?" I asked.
"Teddy bears." Leia responded, rolling off of my body and standing up.
"Oh. A party?"
"Yes. A celebration. We won Cub! Congratulations you love birds!!!" He embraced us in a hug and Leia grabbed my hand, pulling me off of the ground so that I was standing next to her. "Vader has been killed! He's no longer here in this galaxy! Come on! Celebrate!!!" Chewie said, and then ran off into the woods towards the Ewok village.
"Right. Vader's dead."
I had almost forgot about Vader being Leia's father. "Leia, I'm really sorry."
"Don't be. Come on, forget about it. As Chewie said, let's celebrate!" She grinned and then playfully punched me in the shoulder.
"OW!" I said, rubbing my shoulder. "That hurt."
"The strong and mighty Captain of the Millennium Falcon, General of the Rebel Alliance is afraid of a little punch?"
"Hey!" I said, and she grinned.
"I bet I can beat you."
"Beat me? In what?"
"In racing. I'll beat you to the village!" She said as she started to run.
"Yeah right!" I screamed, and then ran after her.
That night…
Leia's POV
It was a grand feast. Everyone was there. Lando and all of the pilots were there too.
The drums were beating, and people were singing, and Ewoks were squeaking, and there was a huge bonfire in the center of the wild celebration. There were people dancing and laughing for our victory and liberation.
Lando runs in and is enthusiastically hugged by Han and Chewie. I smile at the two old friends celebrating in destroying what Lando gave in to.
Han and Lando were talking about the Falcon, and I rolled my eyes. This is so boring. I mean, I love Han dearly and all, but when he talks mehanics, it just bugs me. Unfortunately, Lando noticed. "Uh, Han?"
"Yeah?" He asked, taking a swig from whatever green stuff he was drinking before dumping it onto the ground.
"Your girlfriend doesn't look too happy to be here."
Han laughed, and so did Chewie.
"Okay. Come on Leia, let's go watch those people dance."
I smiled. "Okay." He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and then walked over to the bonfire.
Finally, Luke arrives, and I turn to see him walking towards us.
"Han! It's Luke!"
"Go on. Go see him." He said, pushing me away. I ran towards him and started to hug him.
So there we were, standing together. All of us.
Me, Lando, Han, Luke, R2, 3PO, and Chewie, taking comfort in each other's embrace.
We all finally broke apart, and I melted in Han's tight embrace.
"I love you!" I smiled.
"I know." He smiled back. "I love you too."
Chewie was right.
We were love birds.
But we were free birds.
Love birds can never be broken apart.
Leia Organa Solo.
Has a nice ring to it.
Don't you think?
IT'S OVER!!! IT'S ALL OVER!!!!!!!! I don't have any ideas for the next sequel….after ROTJ…so can you PLEASE give me some ideas? I have none. I was going to do that one about the tabloids…but people thought I'd be copying someone else idea, and some just didn't like it….so unless you guys can give me some ideas, I don't have ANY…and there isn't going to be a sequel….well there was this one that I was thinking about doing….I had already started it…but I dunno if I want to continue it. I actually already think that someone else did something similar to it. About Luke going back in time to go and save his father from turning to the dark side? Yeah. So that's a no too……GIVE ME SOME IDEAS PEOPLE!!!
