	What happens when there are no battles to be won and no one to save? Disasterous events occur! Take our three great heros and thrown them into a typical "lazy" day ^_^ a/n: Repost from the old boards, never got around to finishing it so I thought I'd give it a test run here to see if anyone likes it! So please review! another a/n: This takes place the day after Visions of the Future... <>><<> A Day in the Life of a Hero by Eowyn Jade “You’d think that someone would make a manual for something like this,” Han Solo flipped through the holo guide, trying to find a suitable show to watch. Having no luck he threw it down, exasperated and turned towards his brother-in-law. “Am I right?” Luke Skywalker laughed. “Search me Han. I just got off the com with Mara and she’s coming over.” “Maybe she’ll have some good ideas,” Han grumbled. Luke smiled. It wasn’t often that anyone saw Han Solo with a problem that he couldn’t fix with his blaster. But it was beyond both of them what to do with this particular one. “So where did Leia go off too this morning? She sure didn’t have a problem.” “I’m not real sure,” Han replied, getting up and heading to the kitchen. He stuck his head in the cupboards, trying to find a suitable breakfast. “She said something about meetings or agenda or something,” He tried to shine that apple that he had found in the fridge. “I was kind of worn out this morning. Force what senate meetings do to your head.” As if remembering the previous night, Han winced and put a hand on his forehead. “How late did you have to stay there?” Luke asked. Han tossed him an apple and Luke accepted it gratefully, taking a large bite out of it. “I thought we were pretty much done when Mara and I left around 0200.” “Let’s just say I hate politics. If it wasn’t for Leia I would have no patience for that stuff.” The door chimed and Luke clicked it open with the force. Mara Jade danced in their vision and Luke smiled. “Lovely to see you my dear Mara.” He walked over to plant a kiss on her cheek. “I could get used to that Skywalker.” Han noticed the icy edge of her voice was gone and he could no longer see any sadness in her eyes. Probably on account of their engagement. “Morning Jade, catch,” He lobed a apple in her direction and she caught it with ease. “Is this all you guys have planned so far? Eating apples all day?” “Nah,” Han said cheerfully, “We’ll eat Banana’s too.” “I could have more fun in front of the holovision.” She remarked dryly. “You could…but now you get to spend the whole day with us!” Luke laughed and broke away from her and started shuffling through a pile of brochures on the desk. She let out a short laugh and tried not to choke up the bite of apple in her mouth. “You two are clueless aren’t you.” “Well it’s not like we do this often,” Luke commented, glancing over his shoulder at her. “It sort of a new thing for us.” “Oh don’t worry, I’m sure some terrible tragedy will happen today and you two will be desperately needed.” Mara said sarcastically. Han and Luke didn’t laugh though. “Mara we’re serious,” Han said. “ We had no idea what to do.” Mara studied them both for a few moments and finally said, “This is pathetic! You guys are telling me you’ve never had a free day in your life?” Luke shrugged, “I’m usually at the academy. Not much time for fun and games there.” “Kids take up a lot of time,” Han said. “Leia sent them with Winter today. Seems she thought I needed a day off.” Mara couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “All too right you do! Imagine getting you your age and not having a lazy day.” “Oh I’ve had lazy days, just never while I was married.” Mara looked horrified. “Skywalker one requirement for our marriage, one week off a month, got it?” Luke held up his hands in haste. “Okay! Okay!” He grinned up at her. <><>><<><> Next time: What happens when you take our heros and throw them into a complicated board game...? <><>><<><> -----signature----- "You guys are like ravenous wolves." -Devin ~ Defying Gravity ~

	I've always wondered what they did when there wasn't some war or a kid to rescue or an assasin to be stopped. This just seems right. -----signature----- "There will be pages. Lots and lots of pages.

	This was hilarious! Good job. “Is this all you guys have planned so far? Eating apples all day?” “Nah,” Han said cheerfully, “We’ll eat banana’s too.” I especially liked this part. They never do seem to get a day off, do they? -----signature----- As long as you're in a bookstore leisurely drinking a frapuccino, life is good. Vis sit tecum.

	Oh another reader! Thanks for reading and reviewing sidious618! Yeah! Another review from Aimeer9! Thanks for reading! you're great! Here's More ---->>>>> <>><<> A Day in the Life of a Hero- Chapter 2 “But Mara that thing is ancient!” Luke Skywalker wined as he saw his fiancé pull out an old box, blowing off the dust. “I think we used to play with those things as kids on Corillia…I never got them.” “They are a common childhood tradition guys,” Mara said, moving towards the kitchen table with the box under her arm. “Mara, neither one of us had what you would call a normal childhood,” Luke called to her, trying to catch up with her fast pace. “Well I’m not calling mine a game of checkers Skywalker, but I thought everyone knew about board games? How did you guys get this one if you didn’t even know what they were?” She blew off some more dust and Han faintly saw the word “MONOPOLY” written across the top. “I think Leia bought it from some junk dealer. She probably remembers playing them,” Han slid down into a chair across from where Mara was unloading the box. “What is all this junk Mara?” Luke came around to her other side and picked up the board, examining the details on it and trying to make sense of the patterns. “You have to read the directions Skywalker!” Frustrated she shoved a packet of papers in his face and grabbed the board from his hands, attempting to set stacks of cards and small figurines on it. Han grabbed the box top while Luke started reading the directions. “ ‘The object of this game is to become the wealthiest player through buying, renting and selling property…” “What in the world is ‘Star Wars’ Mara? ‘Star Wars Monopoly’?” Han grabbed a few of the small figures that Mara had positioned on a large squared named “GO”. “Hey this looks like me!” “ ‘According to the space your token reaches, you may be entitled to buy real estate or other properties…” Luke continued to blindly read the instructions. Han held up the small figuring in front os Mara’s face. “Doesn’t that look like me?” Mara examined it closely. She looked back up at him, shrugged her shoulders and looked back down towards the stack of cards that she was shuffling. Han looked back towards some of the other characters and found ones that resembled him, Luke, Leia, Darth Vader, C3PO, R2D2 and there was even one that looked faintly like Lando. “This is nuts…” he said holding his head in his hands. “ ‘Whenever you land on an unowned property you may buy that property from the bank at it’s printed price’…” Mara started passing small round coins to them. Han, still a little bit concerned at how ugly his figure looked, turned his attention to the coin. “Mara these aren’t real?” he said, viewing the obvious fake New Republic seal and the chipping corners where the paint had worn off. “Of course they’re not,” she answered. “Why would they put real money in a children’s game?” She stopped and glared over towards Luke. He was completely oblivious to her death stares as he was still trying to read all of the instructions. “ ‘When you land on a property owned by another player, the owner collects rent from you in accordance’…” Han saw Mara’s face darken a bit. He grabbed the top of the box and slid farther down into his chair, hopefully hiding himself from her view. Finally after a few seconds of death stares and getting no reaction, she grabbed the sheet out of his hand, exasperated by his childishness. Luke jumped back in surprise. When he locked stares with her his face turned equally stubborn and Han sunk farther into his chair. “I wasn’t done with that Mara!” “Skywalker you’re acting like a child! Why can’t you just read to yourself or something?” Sinking almost to the ground now Han braced himself for a fight between the two most stubborn people in the world. If they ever really did get married, there was no way Han was going to the wedding. “Well maybe I’ve never read instructions like that before Jade? I was trying to make sense of it!” They weren’t quite yelling yet and for a few moments, the room was in a deathly silence. Han risked a peak over the top of the table. He was sure that if he could use the force, there was a major disturbance right about now. I am never taking a day off again… They both finally broke eye contact, neither willing to admit that they had been in the wrong and Mara began to explain the game to them. -----signature----- "You guys are like ravenous wolves." -Devin ~ Defying Gravity ~

	"Hey, this looks like me!" LOL (I have to admit, I have never seen a SW Monopoly set....) This is going to get good. I have never played a game of Monopoly where everyone didn't get mad and end up stomping off in a huff!
