�Hell-O Princess Leia,� A woman said.
�Hi,� Leia said.
�Are you looking for anything particular,� she said.
�No just looking,� Leia said.
�Ok�if you need any assistance don�t be afraid to ask your highness,� She said.
She gave her best smile that she gave everyone that bugged her. Could she go nowhere and hear Princess or Your Highness, it was starting to get on her nerves. Then she came to a dress the caught her attention, it was like nothing she would have worn. Then her voice came to her mind about what ladies wear and don�t wear. She picked the dress up and tried it on, to her surprise it fit and she knew this was her dress. Of course she would have to buy new shoes to go with it, but she didn�t mind.
Han knew this was a big step for them, would people except him as the Princess Leia of Alderaan boyfriend and not just her good friend. He decided that if he was going to take her out her had to a good outfit and that meant the one thing he hated, shopping. But it�s not like he couldn�t afford it any more and people seem to know him.
The store had almost every kind out clothing for men you could even imagine. After 20 minutes of looking and being bothered by the clerk he found the perfect outfit, even if he had to by new shoes. The clerk smiled at him, she was in her middle 20�s and seemed to know why he was shopping.
�She�ll like it General,� she said.
�What,� Han said.
�The only time a bachelor comes in here and buys a whole new outfit with shoes is if he has a special date,� she said.
�Thanks,� Han said giving his wide grin.
With that he left and started to get ready for his date. It was dinner then dancing and he already knew where she wanted to go. Luke would be there so that would make it easier on him, and that when most of the people would find out Luke was her brother. It wouldn�t surprise anyone that they were together with all the rumors going around about them. It would surprise everyone that they didn�t sleep together until they reached Bespin, and he was afraid he�d made a mistake. Then she came and rescued him and became a slave, yet she never talked about what happen and he liked it that way.
The beep was at the door and she knew who it was and she suddenly became very nervous. She let him and he was lost at the site of her. She had cut her hair to the middle of her back and had several small braids through it. Her black dress was made of a clingy yet silky material, the dress had very thin straps and came about two inches above her knee. She walked towards him and with her pumps she was about two inches taller and her make up was light yet noticeable. Leia had the same reaction to him as she started to walk towards her. He had on a pair of black pants, and tucked in button up navy blue shirt. His boots where either new or he�d spent hours shinning them, his hair was in its usual style and but his belt hung around his waist was not there.
�Where�s your belt,� Leia asked.
�In the falcon,� Han said.
�You ready,� Leia asked.
�Yea�you look amazing,� Han said taking her hand.
�Thanks so do you,� Leia said lacing her finger with his as they walked down the hallway.
�Are you nervous,� Han said.
�Yea�you,� Leia said.
�A little�these are our friends and your brother there no need to be a little nervous,� Han said.
�I know�I love you,� Leia said turning to him.
�I know,� Han said as he kissed her lazily.
After dinner and having five people stare at them they decided to go to the club. He with his fingers laced with hers then a woman noticed him. Her put his head down and sighed deeply as she called his name. Leia just gave an amused smile at his reaction.
�Of all the nights,� Han whispered.
�So this is you�Han Solo where have you been,� she said.
�Fighting with the rebellion,� Han said.
�No way�you of all people�Hell-O I�m Morgue,� Morgue said.
�Leia Organa,� Leia said shaking her hand firmly.
�It�s good to see you again Captain Solo,� Morgue joked and Leia couldn�t help it she had to say something.
�Actually Han is a general,� Leia said.
�A general who would of thought�wait Leia Organa as in Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan,� Morgue said.
�Yes�did you ever go to Alderaan,� Leia asked smiling.
Morgue looked at her like she had never seen her before. Morgue then for the first time saw that they were holding hands and started to speak even if she was in a lot of shock.
�Yes�I was born there but grew up on a different planet,� Morgue said.
�Really� Alderaan was a beautiful planet before the empire destroyed it,� Leia said softly as Morgue studied her.
�Your not the princess�I�ve heard stories of the princess. She snobby, self-centered, and couldn�t care about anyone or thing, but Alderaan�some say it because of her father,� Morgue said.
�Actually my father is Darth Vader and the woman you are speaking of would be my younger sister,� Leia said.
�Really,� Morgue said and Han could sense the tension between them.
�Morgue it�s been great to see after all these years but we have to be going�to met some friends and her brother,� Han said.
�I thought all your family were killed,� Morgue said.
�All of my adoptive family were kill, Luke is my twin brother we were separated at birth so our father Anakin Skywalker also known as Darth Vader wouldn�t find us,� Leia said calmly.
�It was nice seeing you again Han�nice meeting you Princess,� Morgue said and rushed away.
Han just smiled as they started to walk towards the club. As he thought about it more he started to laugh and Leia just looked at him weird. He looked at her and smiled once again and kissed her gently on the lips right before turning the corner and entering the club. Han stopped and gave her his wide grin before kissing her once more time.
�What was that for,� Leia said.
�I don�t think I�ve ever seen Morgue rush away like that before�well not from me anyway,� Han said.
�I see�an old girlfriend of yours I take it,� Leia said.
�We had an on and off relationship,� Han said before kissing her once again.
�You know once we turn the corner we�ll be at the club.� Leia said pulling him closer.
�I know�Ok let�s go. If we can manage to face Morgue we can manage to face anything,� Han said taking her hand once again.
They walked hand in hand around the corner and stopped for a moment before entering. It was now or never, if they entered new of there relationship would be all over the galaxy. He looked at her and she looked at him and they walked in. Luke and the Rouge Squadron were all sitting on the same side of the club. They started to walk over while Leia started to look around. It was pretty crowded and she knew that everyone here knew who she was by name at least if not by face.
�Han�Leia,� Luke said.
�Hey Kid what�s up,� Han said.
�Hi Luke,� Leia said giving him a hug.
�Well sister of mine you look very nice,� Luke said.
�Thanks,� Leia said.
�Are you two sure you�re twins,� Han said.
�Positive�we had a blood test to make sure,� Leia said.
�Come on over,� Luke said.
Wedge was the first one to notice Han�s date was no other then Princess Leia. He almost laughed, as he thought of them together as a couple. There were rumor after rumor of those two being lovers but he never paid must attention to them--until now. Mostly because everyone thought Luke and her would make the best couple.
�Hey Solo�Princess,� Wedge said.
�Hi Wedge�please call my Leia,� Leia said.
�OK,� Wedge said.
�So what have you and my brother been up to,� Leia asked.
�Brother,� Wedge questioned.
�You don�t know,� Leia asked.
�Leia and I are twin�we were separated at birth because our father,� Luke said.
�Wait isn�t your father Darth Vader,� Wedge said.
�Yea,� Luke said.
After 10 minutes it was known that Leia was Luke�s sister, Vader�s daughter, and she was dating Han Solo. It amazed everyone that a princess would date a smuggler, but she didn�t mind. They had danced two or three dances when he went to the refresher. Leia got up and ordered herself a drink to everyone surprise, but Luke�s.
�Princess that pretty strong,� a pilot said.
�On Alderaan children are drinking wine by their 10th birthday, by 15 they are trying many different drinks while parents are out at parties,� Leia downing the drink in one gulp.
�I just never thought you as a drinking type,� he said.
�I don�t drink all the time�just sometimes,� Leia said.
Han saw her take the drink and the shock expression on their faces and he knew what kind of drink she got. He started to walk slowly towards her. This date wasn�t as bad as he thought, but something was going to happen something bad he could feel it. She had put the glass down when he slipped his arms around her waist and she leaned back.
�Miss me sweetheart,� Han said.
�Not really,� Leia joked as he kissed her neck.
Luke couldn�t help but smile at his best friend and sister as they showed their love in public. It was a big surprise to him when Leia told him about her and Han, but he knew she was happy. Even if at the time he had no idea she was his sister, but he hope for the best for them. He had high hopes for the two, but like Han he also knew that something was coming no one knew about, but he didn�t know what. Or were they just used to the rebellion life where you always expect something to happen when there was nothing wrong.
People after people had begun to stare at the couple as they started to dance. They knew more and more rumors would start, but they didn�t care. People would see it as a forbidden love affair that she truly loved Luke, but she wondered what people would due when they found out they were twins. For now she didn�t care, for now all she wanted was Han and his love that he had for her. She knew that there would be more women who came to confront her, but she didn�t care.
�You ready to go,� Han said.
�Yes,� Leia said.
�Luke said he�d walk with us since his place is close to yours,� Han said.
�Alright,� Leia said taking his hand and lacing her fingers with his.
They had all began to say there goodbyes to people. Luke saying he�d see them in a few days since she had to practically order the Rouge Squadron to take some time off. Luke got his jacket and not to her surprise Artoo was with him. It seemed like he never went anywhere with out the droid, not that she didn�t mind. Threepio was in her care, but to him Luke was his master. I guess since Luke�s Uncle Owen bought him those many years before, again an example of fate.
�So how is Threepio I haven�t seen him in a least a month,� Luke said as Artoo whistled and beep something at the sound of his friend�s name.
�He�s fine�he has come in hand since he remembers some things about the old republic,� Leia said.
�Artoo seems to remember some things too�like when Queen Amidala was almost forced to sign this treaty so an invasion could be legal, but they failed,� Luke said.
�I�ve never heard of Queen Amidala,� Leia said.
�I�ll go through his memory see if I can find some more about her,� Luke said.
�Padme,� Leia said.
�What,� Han said.
�Luke before you left this last time you asked me what our mother�s name was�my father swore me never to speak of her�her full name was Padme Naberrie�Skywalker. I never knew her last name was Skywalker they said the name she got when she was married would only hurt my future,� Leia said.
�Thanks Leia�you two have fun and don�t stay up to late�Han we leave at 0700,� Luke said.
�For what,� Luke said.
�I�ll explain it to her, Kid,� Han said softly.
�Ok. Night Han�night Leia,� Luke said giving her a kiss on the cheek.
Hand in hand they began to walk towards her apartment door. She pressed in her entrance code and walked in and Han just stood there. She turned around and half smiled at him, he always did this and at first it used to bug her.
�Han you do this every time and I do say the same thing,� Leia said.
�Leia�it just unless I�m invited in I feel like I�m invading your space,� Han said.
�Han Solo you are never invading my space�so get in here,� Leia said as he stepped in.
�I should really get back to the falcon�I need my sleep,� Han said as she put her arms around his neck.
�You can sleep here,� Leia said giving him a kiss.
�Yea but I need to actually sleep,� Han said pulling her closer.
�You will�I promise,� Leia said as he pulled away.
�Luke and I will be gone for four days�it�s to get some supplies and I know the planet from my smuggling days,� Han said.
�Fours�Luke needs to take a break,� Leia said.
�He will�after we come back he�ll spend those two days doing nothing if I have to tie him down,� Han said leaning forward.
�So are sure you want to sleep in the Falcon,� Leia said before his lips caught hers in an intense kiss.
Pressing her body against his he couldn�t turn away. Walking backwards towards her room she pulled his shirt up that was tucked in to his pants. Then came unbuttoning his shirt and tossing it aside. He unzipped her dress from the back and let it fall to the ground and next came his pants. Item after item came off until they were naked and in her bed. And for a short time nothing mattered but them.
�Han�Han it 0600 and you have to meet Luke in an hour,� Leia said.
�Ok�I�m up,� Han said.
�I washed your clothes, so if you want you can take a shower eat then meet Luke at the Falcon,� Leia said.
�That a great Idea or you can call him up and tell him we�ll meet here and then go to the Falcon together,� Han said pulling her on top of him.
�That�s even better,� Leia said kissing him once again.
Leia went into her living room and called Luke. Luke had just got up she could tell by his hair and sleepy tone. She told him of Han�s idea and agreed, and decided to eat breakfast there. About 20 minutes later Luke was at the door with Artoo and Han had just walked out of her room. Luke looked at him and Han looked a little embarrassed at having her brother there. Leia had changed from her nightgown to an identical dress of the one she wore on Bespin. Expect her hair was pinned up in braid like she wore on Hoth. Luke was in his all black Jedi outfit and had his lightsaber hanging from his belt.
�Here Han, Chewy told me to give you this last night put I forgot,� Luke said handing him his blaster.
�Thanks, Kid,� Han said.
�Leia when I come back we begin your training,� Luke said.
�Luke you need some time off,� Leia said.
�Don�t worry you�ll doing the work I�ll be instructing you,� Luke said.
�How much longer is this vacation of yours,� Han asked.
�I�ll have 2 weeks left when we come back�enough time to teach her the basic and get her to build her own lightsaber,� Luke said.
�Do I have a say in this,� Leia said jokingly.
�No�it�s your destiny,� Han said.
�And what is your destiny General Solo,� Leia asked.
�Princess my destiny is to make sure the Skywalker Twins stay alive,� Han said.
�Then you got your work cut out for you,� Luke said with a smile.
It had been four days and she still watched the door every minute as if Han was going to walk through her door. She never knew how much she would have missed Han when he left until now. She and Luke had a bond with the force so it was almost like he never went a way even he did. Then she heard a beep at her door and rushed to it and there he stood. In his military pants, green tucked in shirt and jacket with and a smile forming on his face.
�Han is Luke or anyone else with you,� Leia said.
�No�why,� Han said but was interrupted as she pulled him in by his jacket and kissed him.
Han didn�t have time to stop her even if he wanted to, and he didn�t want to. Before he knew what was happening they had most of there clothes off and were in her room. She never kissed him like that before usually her kisses were soft and gentle. It was usually his kisses that were hungry with desire and a need. Not that he minded it was kind of exciting letting her take the lead for once. Even when she starts it by asking him to stay he is usually the one that kisses her with a hunger and need to be full filled.
�I�m going to take it you missed me,� Han said as he started to sit up in her bed.
�Is it that obvious,� Leia said smiling as he lied back down.
�We were suppose to be back hours ago, but Luke had to look for something�� Han said as Leia kissed him again while she settled on top of him.
�It�s ok�are you staying the night,� Leia asked.
�If you think I�m leaving now your crazy,� Han said kissing her again and letting his tongue enter her mouth.
For Leia the days seem to go on and on for the first week of her training. It was hard at first relying on her senses and a power she didn�t know she had. But it came through after the first week she knew a few Jedi exercises and did them nightly. Then it came the end of her second week and she wouldn�t believe that it was done, she had never felt better.
�Ok you get to make your own lightsaber now,� Luke said.
�Ok�when do you expect it done Master Skywalker,� Leia asked.
�Leia be serious�I�ll be gone for at least a week on a mission. That will give you plenty of time to build your own and start wearing it when ever you leave,� Luke said.
�I will�and brother be careful,� Leia said.
�I will�it�s me,� Luke said.
�You have been spending to much time with Han,� Leia said.
It didn�t take her long to build the lightsaber since she worked on it for two whole days and nights. She was very proud of self and she like the blue color it came out to be. Han had walked in when she was practicing with one of the remotes Luke left for her. He was amazed at how fast she was learning this Jedi stuff and how dedicated she had become.
�Having fun your Worship,� Han asked.
�This is harder then it looks flyboy,� Leia said putting her lightsaber on her belt.
�I know�but you look so cute,� Han said.
�Hmmm�I guess I may forgive for a price,� Leia said.
�What price would that be,� Han said.
�Dinner,� Leia said moving closer.
�How about I come over tonight and cook you dinner,� Han said wrapping his arms around her waist.
�I�d like that�but you�d have to stay the night,� Leia said.
�That�s a sacrifice I�m willing to make,� Han said before lightly kissing her.
Han made dinner and she watched his every move like she normally did. While picking up the magazine and just laughed as she began to read an article. Han looked at her and started smiling even wider as she laughed even more.
�OK princess what is it,� Han said.
�It�s not funny really I�m just surprise it took them this long to print it�and I�m not sure you�d find it funny,� Leia said.
�Ok but at least tell me or show me,� Han said.
�Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan had been courted by none other then General Han Solo. General Solo is known for spending almost every night with the Princess. Some even say they hear wedding bells ring for those two in the very near future,� Leia said.
Then showing pictures of their night at the club and when she said goodbye to him over two weeks before. He even saw a part that said the Princess�s Biological family. He stated to smile at this and then he saw a picture of Luke, Leia and himself and picture of a man and woman he didn�t know, but for some reason he thought of Luke and Leia.
�What is that about your family,� Han said.
�Princess Leia was adopted by Bail Organa at a very younger age, she doesn�t recall anything of her biological mother, Padme Skywalker or her biological father Anakin Skywalker�� Leia said stopping.
�Honey what is it,� Han said.
�This is them�my real parents,� Leia said as she touched the picture.
�You don�t have to read it,� Han said softly.
�Anakin is also known to be Lord Darth Vader of the Empire. Leia also has a twin brother Luke Skywalker who she was separated from at birth. It was said in the announcement of this information over two weeks ago that she is also training to be a Jedi knight like her brother and father. Like her mother she was into politics at a very young age. General Solo is know for his shady past as a smuggler and worked for the infamous Jabba The Hutt�do you want me to stop,� Leia asked.
�No go on let see how true they are,� Han said.
�General Solo was a smuggler and criminal with no family besides a Wookie named Chewbacca. He was an Imperial Officer until the day he saved Chewbacca or Chewie as most call him. Chewie had a life debt to pay and has never left General Solo side. Most would say this is an unlikely pair, a smuggler and a princess, but I don�t. For these simple facts one Princess Leia had a free spirit and no one would be able to handle her but General Solo. Two General Solo has made some mistakes in his past and would understand who her biological father is I don�t think anyone else would. Each had very few people they trust besides each other. All in all these two seem happy with their relationship,� Leia said.
�Wow�they sure spoke their minds,� Han said.
�Yea�but it all true,� Leia said.
They ate their dinner and talked about nothing important. Leia could help but smile at him every time her eyes met his. But then suddenly she got this feeling like something was happening to Luke she could that it was a good thing. Han had got up and went over to her and gently touched her shoulder.
�You Ok,� Han asked.
�Yes�just a little tired,� Leia said.
�How tired,� Han said with an evil grin.
�No that tired,� Leia said getting up and pulling him into a passionate embrace.
They started to walk backwards towards her room and he pressed her against the door. Never losing his lips her right hand went for the doorknob. She opened the door and as if an alarm went off they went at each other�s clothing hungrily. The embrace was never broken and Han thought seriously about what the magazine said about his and Leia relationship. Han knew that he loved her like he�d never loved anyone else, but would she want to spend the rest of her life with him.
The next morning Han left early, but left a message for Leia to meet him in the Falcon. When woke up she found it a little weird that he didn�t tell her but did it all the same. She put on her usual clothing she did for her Jedi training and decided just to keep that on. She then started her way towards the Falcon, she noticed Chewy was repairing something and Threepio was talking to his ship. Han was in the back waiting for her and she walked back to where he was.
�Han why is Threepio here,� Leia said.
�Do you remember this place,� Han said with a coy smile.
�It was where we had our first kiss,� Leia said with a smile.
�Leia I�ve doing a lot of thinking about us and we are going and I�ve decided something,� Han said.
�What,� Leia said concerned.
�Leia Organa Skywalker�will you merry me,� Han said pulling out a ring.
�Oh�I�I never expected this,� Leia said speechless,�
�Threepio here because Artoo gone and Chewy needed some help,� Han said a he slipped the ring on her finger.
�Han this isn�t a game you really want to marry me,� Leia said.
�Yes you don�t have to answer now think about it,� Han said.
�I�ve thought about�yes,� Leia said.
�Yes,� Han said.
�Yes,� Leia said leaning in for a kiss.
�Before you tell the public and we tell Luke first,� Han said pulling away.
�I wouldn�t tell strangers before my own brother,� Leia said pulling him back down to her.
Leia spent the rest of her time getting ready for Luke return. Han said that she shouldn�t stress as much as she was, but Leia couldn�t help it. Luke was her only living relative and she couldn�t help but be a little tense. Han had put on his usual clothing, but they seemed to look newer to her. She put on a black skirt that came to her knees along with a dark blue short sleeve shirt. Her hair was in its usual braids that were pinned to her head and put the final touches to her outfit as Luke walked in. She could hear Artoo beep a few things and Threepio saying something along with Lando and Chewy. Then it hit her all her family was here, Lando had made up for what he did to Han and she understood now. She saw that Luke stood by Artoo and she wondered if they ever went anywhere without each other.
�Leia,� Luke said.
�Luke,� Leia said noticing he was out of his usual jedi blacks.
�Hi Leia,� Lando said.
�Hell-O Lando.� Leia said giving him a hug.
�Come supper almost done,� Han said.
Luke walked beside Artoo who had beeped a few things and Luke told him what was going on. It amazed her at how he seemed to hat he was saying. She could understand she had come to learn what Chewy was saying by just listening and smiled again. Luke sat besides Han who sat next to her, they all took there seat and Artoo was behind Luke and she knew now they never separated.
�The reason why Leia and I asked you here is because we wanted our family to know this first,� Han said.
�Know what old buddy,� Lando said.
�Han and I are getting married,� Leia said.
�Luke and Chewy have already made most of the arrangements,� Han said.
�When did you tell them,� Leia asked.
�They knew I was asking,� Han said.
�What kind of wedding do you two have planned,� Leia asked.
�It�s a mixture of a Wookie and Jedi wedding,� Luke said with a smile.
�Your doomed,� Lando said and Threepio just looked at him and they all laughed.
The day of the wedding came and it was actually a good service that had happen. There were only a few differences and Leia had to admit she liked it. It let her act like a real person for once instead of a princess or senator of the New Republic. Each person had to play apart in the wedding. Chewy did the honor of giving Leia away, while Luke was Han best man, Threepio helped Luke get everything ready, Lando was also a Han�s best man.
�Is Chewy sure I can be Han other best man,� Lando said.
�Chewy said it is a greater honor to give away the bride then to be a best man in the wedding,� Luke said.
�You�re a best man,� Lando said.
�I�m also doing the Jedi part of the wedding,� Luke said and Lando smile at him.
�Han can you believe we�re married,� Leia said as they danced.
�I can�t believe I�m actually married,� Han said.
�Han isn�t that your old girlfriend Morgue,� Leia said with a smile.
�She does have perfect timing,� Han said as she came over.
�That she does,� Leia said.
�Hey Morgue,� Han said.
�Did someone getting married,� Morgue said.
�We did,� Leia said with a wide smile.
�Well congratulations who would of thought Han Solo would have gotten married and become respectable,� Morgue said.
�Not me,� Han said not letting go of Leia.
�So Morgue what are you doing here in town,� Leia said.
�The ship I�m on�the to Tatooine stopped here,� Morgue said.
�Why you going there,� Han asked.
�Business�Princess isn�t your brother from here,� Morgue said.
�Luke was raised there�but he hasn�t been back since we rescued Han,� Leia said.
�Yes but he got away as soon as he could,� Han said.
�You know my brother here if you want to meet him�Han told him about you and he�d really like to met you,� Leia said.
�I actually have to be going�my ship leave soon,� Morgue said.
�Well it was nice to see you again,� Leia said.
�Same here�hope you two have a good life,� Morgue said then walked away.
�You know you have this effect on her�she always rushes off,� Han said.
�I have no idea hat you�re talking about,� Leia said innocently.
