Within one hour the party was in full flow. Lando was being typical of himself and was chatting to every woman in sight. The guests were swarming around Han and Leia as by now the news of their wedding had spread over the entire city. The only one who was feeling awkward in the group was Luke. Parties had never been his sort of thing. The other three had been going to parties for years, yet he had grown up in the middle of the desert, without anything lively around him. Watching from a side of the room Luke didn't know what to do. Sure he could make conversation but he didn't really have great people skills, plus he didn't exactly know anyone here. Luke waited for some time and then eventually gave up. He slipped out of the room and then outside to the balcony.
Leia saw him go "be right back" she told Han quickly and then carefully squeezed her way out of the crowed of people around he, crossed the room and slid out onto the balcony.
Luke stood alone outside. Watching all the busy traffic go by in front of him. Leia opened and closed the door without a sound but Luke felt another presence and turned around. They stood face to face in the chilly air.
"Are you alright?" asked Leia.
Luke just nodded and quietly said "yes." He turned back to the balcony rail and looked over. Leia moved up beside him and looked out onto the city.
"You'll be fine" she said finally "at least you and I won't have a massive hangover like everyone else come tomorrow morning."
"I'm not good at this sort of thing Leia" Luke quickly blurted out.
Leia sighed "I know, but we'll get to through it."
"I have to get through it" he corrected "you're brilliant at this."
"I've been forced into it my entire life."
"Doesn't change anything" said Luke sourly.
Now Luke and Leia may have believed that they were alone together on the balcony, in a privet conversation of my own. But neither of them knew or even suspected. That perched on the building across from them a young woman in heavy armour and a helmet over her eyes watched them closely and listen in on their conversation.
This could not have been easier. The young woman thought. Two of her targets had just walked out in plain view of her. She very well knew that as soon as she shot them down her other two targets would soon predictably run out and be shot down themselves. Not only would she be given the most marvellous reward for this but her father would also have been incredibly proud of her.
"It's nobody's fault" said Leia "you're just not that type of guy."
"Yes I know but I'm going to have to keep on doing this aren't I, I mean Lando doesn't exactly plan on stopping."
"Well maybe we just need to-"
"Wait!" said Luke suddenly. He could sense something.
"What is it?" asked Leia.
Luke didn't answer. He was busy concentrating. What was it? What was it? It was growing stronger now. Then he felt it. Someone pulling out a gun. They were in danger. Someone aiming a gun. But where? But where? Straight in front of them!
The young woman shot!
