Author's Note: Hey yooo! I know I messed up writing that last chapter because I was in a hurry when I wrote it. So here is another chapter, and I'll do my best to keep it better than the previous by the way, thank you for the follows and favorites xoxo
CHAPTER 8: SECRETS REVEALED (PART I)
Leia found herself sitting on the floor, her hands tied up, as well as her feet. She found the two droids in the same situation as hers, just inches away.
"What is this place?", Leia whispered. But when she felt like they were moving, she concluded that they are inside a spaceship and not in a building or something.
At the other end of the room, she found Luke and Mara, they were tied up too. Luke still has his eyes shut, while Mara was staring blankly at the ceiling.
She unconsciously searched for Han but he is nowhere to be found, and with that, she remembered the scenario before they were captured.
Why does he have Robert's necklace?
"Seriously, Dad?", Han was now raising his voice. Apparently, those guards who captured them were the royal guards of their palace.
"You can't blame me, Han. You were kidnapped, and after investigating, we found you in Endor."
"And, how about getting my friends too? And.. and tying them up? You held them as hostages!", Han said this, almost shouting.
"Let's stop this nonsense argument, Han. That girl with the Wookie were the smugglers who ruined the ceremony, and who kidnapped you. They were even requesting for a ransom", the King explained to his son.
"Whaaaat?"
"We're now in Alderaan, Sir", one of the royal guards approached them.
The spaceship halted to a stop. The hostages, still tied up, were held by the royal guards and were forced to leave the spaceship.
"Seriously, what did I do to be tied up like a dog?", Luke said while mocking a kid having tantrums.
"Shut up, Luke", Leia glared at her brother.
They were put in a room that Leia recognized was one of the rooms that she and Chewie get into when they robbed the palace. The gang was also surprised when the royal guards untied them but left and locked them all up in the room.
"Fresh memories ey, Chewie?", Leia said after a while of silence. The Wookie gave a really-you-even-had-the-guts-to-pull-things-like-that-Leia-after-all-these roar.
After the Wookie's roar, the room was in silence again. When suddenly…
"Prrrrrrttttt."
"What the- Luke!", Leia shouted. Luke did it again. The fart. A.K.A. the loud and violent bomb that surrounded the room.
"Oh boy, it stinks!", Mara commented.
"I'm thankful I don't have a nose", C-3PO said while R2D2 produced loud agreeing beeps.
"Uggggggh! We need fresh air", Leia said as she proceeded to the windows and attempted opening one. The others burst out into spontaneous laughter.
As Leia was about to touch the handle, she saw a notebook hidden near the bedside table. Out of curiosity, she grabbed the notebook and turned the cover.
There was a title written on the first page, DIARY: IF YOU'RE NOT HAN, STAY OUT NOW!
Leia formed a grin as she braced herself for the next pages of the notebook.
Han was now in his room thinking about the previous agenda of his life. After five years of waiting for this day to come, he felt like he wanted to wait for more. He was not ready.
His door opened and his father went in.
"I told the guards to untie your friends, as you suggested".
"Thanks, Dad. Where are they now?", Han replied.
"At the attic", his father said. "Wait, is that- Is she-?", he was stopped by Han's sudden nodding.
"I didn't recognize her. What happened to Leia?", his father said out of confusion.
Han just let out a heavy sigh.

'Oh, so this entry was like five years ago', Leia commented in her mind. Apparently, the gang got into what Leia just discovered, and they were now reading what Han had written in his diary.
I've been one of the members of the Alliance for so long, and as time passes by, my disease worsens. I don't know what's gotten into me but everytime she commands us and tells us what to do or prepare for the battle, I feel energized, and inspired. I hope she'll notice me someday.
"Seems like the Prince had some romantic drama that went through", Luke chuckled. Leia told her to stop and they scanned the next pages.

She talked to me today. Well, I can't focus with the battle. Glad Robert helped the team again
August 10, 2011
She and Robert are so close. I can't help but get jealous. I wish I can be as close to her like how Robert does. He is a nice guy, anyway…
August 12, 2011
Robert found out about you, Diary! Oh, such an embarrassment. Well, he told me that it's not gay for a guy to keep a diary though. He even told me to confess how I feel for her bestfriend. I don't think I can.
August 13, 2011
DIARYYYYYYY. I thought Robert got feelings for Leia! Well, he told me today that he just see their closeness as friendship. Oh man, I'm getting my hopes up!
There were no entries for a month and Leia skipped a few pages until her eyes caught a glimpse of a battle on page 10.
October 17, 2011
I woke up early and got ready. We are going to have the final battle with the Empire today. Bad moment, Robert told me that today is also the time I should confess to Leia. But, what if she rejects me?
P.S. It's now or never. Let's do this!
October 18, 2011
I should've saved Robert! I can't forget the look in Leia's eyes when I told her what happened in the spaceship. Robert is such a good man. He even told me before I got out that he will leave the spaceship immediately after me. But Robert, a good leader, let the others leave first before himself. The Empire put a bomb in our spaceship and he didn't make it. Farewell, friend.
Tears came rapidly flowing out of Leia's eyes. Everybody in the room was in fact shocked with what they have just read.
November 17, 2011
It's been a month since our last battle with the Empire had taken place. The last time I saw Leia was in Robert's funeral. She was devastated. She even threw the necklace she gave to Robert. Their friendship necklace. When she threw the necklace out, I looked for it and kept it.
January 13, 2014
Woah! It's been years since my last update, Diary. Well, I just want you to know that I became a Prince now. Leia was nowhere to be found. I don't know what happened to her. She went into hiding or something after Robert's death. That's why, my father was asked to take over the leadership for the now free, Alderaan. (The former leader, Leia's father, went to school with my father where they became friends because of Leadership class and stuff. So they're kinda close. I don't know, it's complicated.) It's not fun being Prince, by the way. I just wish I can bring back time again.
The room was filled with silence. Nobody dared to speak nor make a particular move. Everybody was taken aback by the certain events that just took place.
When suddenly, the door to their room opened.
"Leia?", Han worriedly asked as he saw Leia crying in front of a notebook he was looking for, in a very long time.
Author's Note: Yikes! I'm here again. Since we have no classes for several days for a reason I'm too lazy to tell you, here is an update! And as you may see, we are now in Chapter 8, I was planning to have this story be up to Chapter 10 only, so two more Chapters and this story will end. *sniff*
