Hi, this is just a little piece of writing that a wrote a long time ago and found on my computer recently. Its really nothing special at all but maybe it will help pass those rainy days where nothing seems to go right.

Disclaimer : Star wars and all its wonderful characters belongs to George Lucas, Lucas arts and 20th Century FOX who couldn�t have pulled the greatest three movies of all time, off without the talented actors who brought life into the characters and made them timeless.

Summary : A insight into the turmoil of Leia�s thoughts after the battle of Endor. rating : G - the isn�t anything in her folks !

As the party drifted into early morning, They walked hand in hand through the ewok village. Most were still partying but the celebrations had broken up in to smaller groups. Leia saw everyone�s faces, they were all so happy, each singing, dancing and cheering, so caught up in their marvelous victory to notice they were missing. She only wished she could share their joy. Of course she was happy that the rebellion had won but she was more relieved than anything. Relieved that Luke was alive, most of her new friends had survived and that the man she loved was safely back with her. But maybe not for long, as she eyed his back she realized not for the first time just how much he meant to her. She dreaded his reaction, she knew he loved her but would that be enough? After all Vader had put him through? Han almost hated Vader as much as she did, could he find it in his heart to forgive her?

She had decided earlier that if he had decided to leave, she would let him go, it would break her heart but she would let him go. She would then dive into her work, forever trying to free people from the empire and forget that a handsome, pirate, scoundrel had ever stolen her heart. She had shared so much with him, her fears, joys, thoughts and they had grown together in the face of destruction and death. He had matured and learnt how it felt like to be part of a team. He had fallen from his self proclaimed �no. 1� pedestal and had found happiness for the first time. She had learnt that being afraid was normal and that not every one was out to get her. She had lowered her cool, calm and collected shield to find she could trust people and that her emotions were nothing to fear. Her sharp, stubborn and typical royal personality had softened. Han brought out the frightened, naive and inexperienced little girl that she was. She wondered if he knew what she was afraid of more than anything. More than Darth Vader, the Death Star and loosing Han put together. She was afraid of herself, so pitifully afraid that she was ashamed of herself. It was the fear of herself that haunted her at night, that shadowed her every thought in the day. She did not know who she was, not really. She knew who she was supposed to be of course - Princess Leia Organa, the last of the Royal family of Alderaan - intelligent , beautiful, capable, independent and dedicated to rid the galaxy of injustice, but all of a sudden that changed and before she knew it, she was also a young women with a dark past that had to remain hidden, a sister, a lover and someone who was capable of such power to the extent of the very man she had fought so hard to destroy. She didn�t know how to be those things. Suddenly, for the first time in her life she wasn�t in control of her life. She didn�t know where she came from or where she was going, only that she was being lead far away from the Ewok village by a man that was so much of her world yet she knew not, and perhaps that would have to do for the moment . . . . . It was all she had . . . . . .
