Hi All!  Thanks for coming to read my story.
Now, I know all of this will be a shock to you,
but the Star Wars characters and situations are
not mine.  Surprised, right?  They belong to
George Lucas and Lucasfilm Ltd.  I am not
getting paid even one penny for this, and
no infringement is intended (never
is, is it!).

The song, "Frozen," was written by Madonna
and Patrick Leonard.  It is copyrighted by
WB Music Corp./ Webo Girl Publishing, and
can be found on the 'Ray of Light' album.

Comments, suggestions, praise, and/or criticism
welcome to at: [email protected].  You can

looking for anyone who has Bria fanfiction and/or
fan art. Anyone who has some is welcome to
submit it to my site!

Spoilers:  Minor spoilers to the Paradise Snare
and somewhat major spoilers to Rebel Dawn, both of
the Han Solo trilogy.


You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open

You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken
When your heart's not open

Mmm if I could melt your heart
Mmm we'd never be apart
Mmm give yourself to me
Mmm you hold the key

Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you
My heart will be broken

Love is a bird she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You're frozen
When your heart's not open

Mmm if I could melt your heart
Mmm we'd never be apart
Mmm give yourself to me
Mmm you hold the key

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open

Mmm if I could melt your heart
Mmm we'd never be apart
Mmm give yourself to me
Mmm you hold the key

If I Could Melt Your Heart
by Bria (aka Kristina Daniels)
June 1 , 1998

	Han Solo *had* to get out of that stuffy
little hut on Endor.  He'd had all of the Ewoks'
cuteness he could take for the moment.  Han
stepped out onto the bridge.
	The sounds of the Endor forest rose up
to greet him.  Han could hear the critters that
lived in the forest...and human voices.
	Leia and Luke.  Luke and Leia.  Their
voices were soft and whispered.  The closeness
of his friend's bodies suggested an intimacy
that Han had wondered about since being rescued
from the carbonite at Jabba's Palace on Tatooine.
	'Are they an item?' Han asked himself.
Jealousy tore at him.  No, they couldn't be.
Luke and Leia would've told him, right?
	He decided to interrupt them.  By the
time Han had reached the spot where they'd been
speaking, Luke was gone.
	"Hey, what's going on?" he asked Leia,
concerned.
	"Nothing, I just want to be alone for a
little while." she answered.
	Han went and sat down.  "Nothing?
C'mon.  Tell me, what's going on?"
	"I...I can't tell you?" Leia whispered.
	Couldn't tell *him*?  "Could you tell
Luke?  Is that who you could tell?"  Han asked
angrily.
	"I.....," she turned away.
	"Ahh..."  he said turning to walk away.
The Ice Princess had returned.  If she wanted to
be left alone, that was fine with him.  Han
walked away quickly, moving in great strides.
	Shortly, his mind began to protest.
What was he *doing*?  He shouldn't be fighting
with Leia...he *loved* her.  Han's shocked mind
realized.
	Now what to do with it?  Han thought
back to the only other time he'd been in
love...Bria.  What a woman!
	Until Bria, Han had never cared about a
woman.  When he'd met her, everything had fit
together *so* well.  And then she had left him to
fight an addiction.
	The last time Han and seen Bria had been
on Ylesia.  He and his smuggler friends had been
helping out the Rebel Alliance.  But Bria had
betrayed him.
	'If I ever see you again in this life,
I'll shoot you on sight.' Han had told Bria.
	Soon after that, Boba Fett had informed
him that Bria had died.  All Han had felt was
grief and regret... and it could all happen
again.  He could lose Leia.
	Han's mind snapped back to the present.
He turned back and glanced at Leia.  She looked
so beautiful, bathed in the moonlight, like a
princess.  Heck, she *was* a princess.  *His*
princess...he hoped.
	Han had to tell her how he felt.
Tonight.  It could not wait, not with the future
so uncertain.  He went back to her.
	"I'm sorry." Han told Leia.
	"Hold me." Leia whispered, stepping
towards him.
	Han wrapped his arms around Leia and
rubbed her back.  He breathed in her scent-how
he loved it!  Han pressed his lips to the crown
of her head.  Then he lifted her face and
stared intently into her eyes.
	"Leia..." he began.  "Are you and
Luke...involved?"
	Leia blinked with surprise.  "Luke?"
	Han nodded, his heart balancing on a
wire.
	"I love him as a dear friend, but no, we
are not together." she told him.
	Han's spirit danced with joy.  "Leia,
I....I," he faltered.  Telling other people how
he felt was so difficult.  "I love you."
	Tears rolled down Leia's cheeks.  "I
meant what I said on Bespin, and on Tatooine.  I
love you too."
	With that, Han's lips descended on hers.
It seemed like her heart was melting, along with
his own.
	Han didn't need to know Leia's secret.
She loved him and that was what mattered.
Tomorrow they would go into battle, but at least
they had told each other how they felt.  And for
the moment, it was enough just to hold her.
