Author	Topic: Earth1937 (SW/Indy Crossover)
solojones Registered: Sep '00	Date Posted: 6/3/01 3:14pm Subject: Earth1937 (SW/Indy Crossover)
	Though I am currently in the process of writing my novel 'Rebel Strike', the complete chronicle of Han/Luke/Leia from ANH-ESB, I have taken some time off to venture into new territory. I usually don't like to write anything that doesn't fit into the cannon stories or movies. This time I decided to make an exception. Because I happen to be Harrison Ford's biggest fan, I could not resist the idea of a SW/Indy crossover. And when I got a good premise, well.... the rest is history. This story contains some violence, but no foul language. It is an adventure story. It's a 'what if Han and Leia wound up in the future, on Earth in 1937 and ran into a certain professor of archeology.' I urge you to sit back, relax, and enjoy 'Earth1937 by Solojones' ********************************************************************* Leia Organa squinted at the data pad screen in front of her. The text was so blurry she could barely make it out. She leaned back in her desk chair and rubbed her eyes. It had been two weeks since the whole incident at Bakura, and she was still sorting through the paperwork. She had been in her office probably 80% of the time, having her meals brought in for her. Han had been constantly bugging her about taking some time off, but he just didn't understand how much work there was to do. It had only been a month since the Alliance- now the New Republic- victory at Endor. She was somewhat tempted to follow his advice, but she knew there was no way she could afford to take time off, and Mon Mothma would never allow it anyway. There was a buzz from the comm at the door. Leia pushed a green button on her desk and said groggily, "Who is it? I'm very busy right now, so if you don't have an appointment-" "C'mon Leia, it's just me." Han's voice broke in. "Open up." Leia, too tired to actually go over to the door and physically greet him, hit another button on the desk which whisked the door open. Han stepped in, and quickly walked over to where Leia was seated. He leaned over and gave her a brief kiss on the forehead, before taking a seat across from her. "Hi." she said very unenthusiastically. A frown creased Han's forehead, "What'd I do now?" He asked. Leia rubbed her temples, "Nothing. This time it really isn't your fault. It's just all this work-" She waved a hand at her desk stacked with datacards and flimsies, "is driving me crazy." Han shook his head, "Sweetheart, I keep telling you to take a break. The New Republic can survive without you for a week." Leia groaned, "Han, I've heard this all before, and you know how I feel about that. My job is very important, and it's not easy to get away from." Han decided to be blunt. "I've arranged for you to have a week off, starting now." Leia's jaw dropped, and she tried to protest, but it was half-heartedly. They both knew she wanted time off, as well as needed it. "You... you got it cleared with Mon Mothma?" she asked. He smiled, "Yep. Not to say that she was exactly thrilled about the idea of one of the leaders of the Republic being completely out of contact for a whole standard week. But I convinced her it would do you some good." Han held up a hand to stop Leia's protest, "Plus, I got some place really neat to show you. C'mon, pack your bags. We leave in an hour." ********************************************************************* This is obviously the introduction. I have actually written a lot more so far, and will post the following sections as soon as you guys want me to. And once I get to the part I HAVEN'T written yet, well, I guess I better get writing -Solojones -----signature----- 6 x 9 = 42 Proud member of the Colbert Nation All Hail Cliegg's Blue Leg!

	Wow, it's good that someone's reading.... ok, so I will get the next couple of sorta dull sections (the one's without Indy) over in one big post, so that hopefully some more people will read and get to the interesting part which will make them..... well, interested ********************************************************************* Han and Leia were both sitting in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon, gazing out the viewport. Leia bit her lower lip. "You sure you know how to do this? This isn't just one of your crazy smuggler's tales, right. I mean, you actually have flown this before?" Han patted her arm reassuringly, "'Course I have. I even used to hold the record, before some nobody supposedly broke it." Though Leia didn't seem to be calming down much, Han continued, "The Kessel Run is an essential haul for all smugglers operating out of Nar Shadda. I've flown this thing so many times, I could probably do it with my eyes shut." Leia shot him a skeptical glance. "I remember the first time I flew it, I was scared to death. But then I realized how exhilarating it was, and it was worth the trouble." Leia nodded her consent. Obviously, Han was adamant about taking her with him on the (in)famous Kessel Run. She decided she might as well enjoy it. Han fired up the sublight engines, and the Falcon along with her two passengers headed into the first leg of the run. As Han had explained to Leia several times, the Kessel Run was made up of two legs. One half was called the Maw, and consisted of hundreds of collapsed stars forming blackholes in mass form. In order to get through it, a ship's captain would have to pilot around all of these blackholes without being sucked in by their all-consuming darkness. The second half, the Pit, was really just an enormous asteroid field that had all of the little quirks expected of such areas. From the direction they were going, the Maw would be their first leg. As the Falcon glided closer and closer to the Maw, Leia could start to make out little dark spots blemishing the star-speckled pattern of space. The further into it they got, the larger the spots became. Leia was awe-struck by just how many blackholes were around them. She tried to keep the eminent danger of this out of her thoughts. Han piloted skillfully, a look of full concentration set on his face. In his peripheral vision, he could see Leia, jaw slightly unhinged, staring out the viewport. He grinned, "Pretty amazing, huh princess?" he asked. Leia nodded slowly. "This is really something. Even with all the traveling I've done, I've barely ever seen a collapsed star. This place has them by the gross!" "Told ya you'd like it, didn't I?" Han said confidently. The ship was getting close to exiting the Maw and entering the Pit now. Han began to relax a bit at the controls. The most dangerous part was over. The Pit, while potentially deadly, was fairly predictable once you had flown the run a dozen or so times. And Han had flown it well over that. As the Falcon edged past one final blackhole, Han took the time to gloat his success, "That was a real smooth run, 'specially for someone who hasn't flown it in a decade. Don't you agr-" A sharp jolt which shook the Falcon cut Han off mid-sentence. "What the... what happened?" Han asked, as he picked himself off the floor and settled into the pilot's seat from which he had been dumped. "It appears, Captain, that we've been hit by an asteroid." Leia said in a weary tone. Somehow she knew they weren't going to get out of this one so easily. "But there are no asteroids this close to the Maw! I know every blasted rock in the field, there's no way that-" Han's face paled in sudden remembrance. "Stang! How could I have been so stupid! I forgot about Domilate's Blunder!" He cursed himself again, this time in a language unknown to Leia. Leia was almost afraid to ask, but she had to. "What is Domilate's Blunder?" Han rubbed his forehead in agony, as he checked the instrument panels on the control board. "This real hot pilot, Faco Domilate, decided comin' through this part of the Maw would shave off enough distance that he'd be able to break the record. What he didn't know was that in this previously unnavigated region, asteroids from the Pit actually entered the Maw. Domilate was so engrossed with the blackholes that he neglected to watch out for asteroids, figuring that there wouldn't be any just yet. A big rock plugged his ship right on the port side, and pummeled it into a trillion tiny pieces. Since then, this region's been known as Domilate's Blunder and is, for the most part, avoided." Han told his story as he checked the readouts of the ship. Despite her misgivings, Leia tried to remain optimistic, "So, we were hit by an asteroid. We're still in one piece, more or less. So why don't we fire up the sublights and get going? They're not damaged, are they?" Han shook his head, "No, no their fine... We've just sustained some outer hull damage and been knocked off course a little but-" Han froze. His face turned white as the plains of Hoth. "What?" Leia asked. She looked at Han, then said more insistently, "What?!" Han licked his suddenly dry lips. "We, we're uh, caught in the pull of a blackhole." He swallowed. "Well, can't we get out of the pull?" Leia asked urgently. Han shook his head slowly, "Blackholes pull in everything. Dust, light, gases... even time supposedly." Leia paled too as this sudden revelation sunk in. The Falcon began to slowly increase it's speed toward the blackhole. Han reached up and grabbed his emergency restraining belt, and Leia followed suit. "Hang on," Han said grimly, as their ship increased it's acceleration toward the ominous pitch black mass. "It could get rough." ******************************************************************* When Han awoke, he had no idea how much time had passed. He also had no idea where he was. He tried to open his eyes, but had to shut them quickly when blood clouded his vision. He raised a hand to his forehead to find a deep gushing gash, presumably from hitting his head on the control board. Han used the back of his sleeve to wipe his eyes clear. He blinked. Outside, it was nearly pitch black. Wherever they were, they had obviously come into the system and landed on a planet turned away from its sun. Unfortunately, this information didn't help very much, considering that all the navigation equipment in the galaxy couldn't predict where a blackhole would take you. And maybe not just where, but when. This thought didn't brighten Han's mood any. He reached up and undid his safety harness. With a deep breath, he stood up. There was a sharp pain on his left side which caused him to nearly double over. When he had overcome the brief nausea brought on by this pain, he stood up. Carefully, he slid his shirt up to get a look at his side. Dark purple and red blotches covered his lower left ribs. He instantly knew they were cracked. He had had enough cracked ribs before to know that. And he also knew there wasn't really anything you could do for cracked ribs except let them heal. He grimaced at the thought, but there was no alternative. A slow movement caught the corner of his vision. Against his better judgment, he swirled around to see what it was. He saw Leia, slumped over in her seat, starting to wake up. 'Idiot!' he admonished himself, forgetting the pain to rush to her side. 'How could you forget about her, moron?!' He slid his right arm around her, and settled her back against the seatback. He also undid her safety belt, which he could see, had left a red mark across her neck. Her forehead had a large bruise on it, and her right arm had several lacerations, but other than that she seemed okay. Han gently shook her by the shoulders. "Leia? Leia, c'mon sweetheart. Wake up!" He was afraid she might have a concussion, and if that were the case falling asleep was the last thing she wanted to do. Leia's eyes opened groggily. She coughed slightly, then managed a thin smile. "Some run, Solo. This sidetrip is a, uh, pleasant surprise." she said dryly. A worried, regretful look creased Han's face. "Leia, I'm so sorry. I was such an idiot! Why did I even take you out there in the first place? And why didn't I check my course more carefully! Idiot!" He slammed a fist into the control board in frustration. Leia was afraid he would break something, and she quickly interrupted, "Hey! Breaking things won't help us get back. And really Han, it's not your fault. I know I don't remember every detail of every place I went when I was 12." She said the last part with a laugh, thinking of how awkward it was that 10 years ago to her meant 12 years old, while 10 years ago to him meant 23 years old. Han gave Leia a sour look, and Leia starting bursting into laughter. She was barely able to say, "I mean, I'm not even as old as you were... 10 years ago! Surely by the time I'm your age, I won't remember a thing!" Han ground his teeth. He didn't find that as amusing as Leia obviously did. "Thanks a lot for the compliments. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to go find the medi pack." As Han sauntered out of the cockpit, Leia composed herself enough to get up and follow. "I'm sorry Han. It's just so funny!" She laughed, coming up behind him in the fresher. "Sure. Hilarious." He said shortly. Han had laid the medi pack out on a counter in the 'fresher, and stood in front of the mirror, his back to Leia. Leia tried to explain, "Han, come on now. You know I don't care about it. It's just-" her words were cut short by a gasp. Han had carefully removed his jacket and shirt, and Leia could clearly see the swollen ribs on his left side. She grabbed a bandage and began to wrap it around him. He swatted her hand away. "I'm fine." He said. Leia shook her head, "No you're not. You've got at least two cracked ribs, you need to get them bandaged." "I can do it myself, your worship. Just leave me alone." He growled. Leia was shocked by his blunt tone, but conceded and backed off. She retreated to the hold, and sat at the gametable. Five minutes later, Han entered the hold now fully clothed once more. He said nothing to Leia, but simply went over to the instrument panel across from the gameboard. "Han, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have made fun of you. And I didn't know you were hurt. No wonder you were in such a bad mood. I feel like such an idiot." Leia said quickly. Han turned toward her and shook his head, "You an idiot? Nah, it's me that's the idiot. I'm not mad at you Leia, I'm mad at myself. I had to go and be the hero and show off all my piloting 'skills', and now I've got us crash landed into who knows where." He turned back toward the instrument panel and added, "And our repulsors are busted, so we can't take off. At least the navicomputer had the sense to make the emergency landing on fairly even surface. Nothing else vital seems to be broken. But I have no clue where we are. Some uncharted system." Leia got up, all animosity between them replaced by curiosity, and came up beside Han to look at the readouts. "What did it find out about the system? Especially about this planet. Is it safe to go outside?" Leia asked. Han scanned through the information scrolling on the screen. "Computer reports it has 9 planets, and one sun. The planet we're on is the third closest to that sun, and has one moon." He read on, "Surface is about 70% water. Atmosphere is 70% Nitrogen, but 20% Oxygen. No toxic levels of harmful gas. Should be okay to breathe. And the gravity is about the same as Courscant." Leia nodded, "Well that's good news. So what are we waiting for? Let's get out there and find the nearest city." They wasted no time in this. Leia quickly changed into casual tan pants and shirt fit for the rugged outdoors. Han gathered up some water jugs, a tent, and some food rations into a pack. Soon, the two were assembled at the hatch. "Ready?" Han asked. Leia nodded an affirmative. Han pressed the open button, and the door slid upward swiftly and silently. They stepped outside, and Han set the lock on the hatch. Then they turned to survey their surroundings. It was still night, but the sun was barely breaking on the horizon, just enough so that Han and Leia could see out across the landscape. For miles and miles, the land was covered with dunes upon dunes of sand. It reminded Han a lot of Tatooine. "Well, this is an interesting place isn't it?" Leia said. Han replied, "Yeah, real scenic. 'Lot like where Luke grew up. And if that's any indication of what this place is like, we better get as much traveling done as we can before the sun comes up. It will be hot enough to fry a minock egg on a speeder real soon." Leia agreed silently, and they set off. They had taken the time to study the electronic reading the Falcon was picking up, and had found there was a city about 5 miles to the south. If they were lucky, it wouldn't take them long to get there. Han and Leia made fairly good time across the soft dunes. But when the sun came up, things became increasingly difficult. By the planet's midday, the sun was straight over their heads and glaring down on them with intense heat. Han, having lived on Tatooine for a while, was used to it. And since this planet only had one sun to Tatooine's two, it was not quite as hot. Leia, however, had only been to Tatooine once and had spent her brief time there mostly inside Jabba's palace. They were both sweating from the heat, but Leia was suffering more. Han held her arm and helped her up a particularly steep dune. When they got to the top, they were overjoyed to have a clear view to a glittering spot in the desert. The city was about one and a half miles from their dune, and was almost entirely downhill. "Look! We're almost there!" Leia exclaimed, suddenly filled with energy. Han gazed at the city. Although he could barely make out the features of the buildings, something bothered him. He didn't see any ships lifting off, or coming in. He decided that they probably didn't lift off around this time due to the danger of sun glare off of ships blinding pilots. It was a fairly reasonable assumption, but he still had a bad feeling about it. Leia stepped forward down the dune, and began to speed up. "Come on Han, it's not that far! We can make it in an hour if we hurry!" Han, exhausted from the hike, his ribs aching, decided it wasn't such a good idea to hurry right now. "Leia, wait! Come back!" He called to her. She stopped, and turned back. "What? What's the matter? Are you all right?" She seemed concerned. He replied, "I'm fine. It's just that I think we should rest for a while. I know it's not that far to the city, but it's really hot out and we only have one water container left. We should stop and get some food and water into our systems before we go on." Leia looked from him to the city, and back. Then she sighed and climbed back up to where he was standing. "We're so close..." she grumbled, "but you're right. We should rest. Maybe get some sleep, too." Han unshouldered the pack and took out the small tent within. Finding a nice flat area, he threw down the compact plastic item which suddenly expanded to a 6 foot by 4 foot tent. "Not much, but it'll provide shade." Han said, grabbing the pack and crawling in. Leia followed. Han took a sip from the canteen, and passed it to Leia who did the same. They were careful to preserve the water for any unforeseen difficulties. Neither of them were very hungry, but they split a tasteless ration bar for nutrition purposes. After their brief meal, they restored their food and drinks and zipped up the tent to prevent any sand from blowing in. Han laid back and shifted until he was in a semi-comfortable position. Leia scooted next to him, and laid down with her head on his chest. "Ow!" Han cried out, causing Leia to jump up. "I'm sorry! I forgot about your ribs." she apologized. Han managed a smile, "It's okay. Just get on my good side." Han scooted to the far side of the tent as Leia stepped over him and settled herself up against his right side. Once she was settled in, using Han as a pillow, she drifted easily off into sleep. ********************************************************************* Oh but are they still in for some surprises -----signature----- 6 x 9 = 42 Proud member of the Colbert Nation All Hail Cliegg's Blue Leg!

I guess I'm gonna find out sooner or later right? Loved the banter between Han and Leia. Sounds like the old times alright.

	This is the next post... hope you like it! ********************************************************************* It was four hours later when the camels approached. There were two of them. One was carrying a tall, stout man with a short black beard and a white cloth protecting his head from the bright sun. The camel behind him was lugging his supplies. He had seen the tent atop the dune from about a mile away, and wondered why in all the Pharos' names someone had decided to camp out on a dune. He brought his camels to a halt, and dismounted. He approached the strange-looking bright orange tent. It was made of a material unlike any he'd ever seen before. "Hello." He called out. "Hello, is anyone in there?" There was no response. If there was anyone inside the tent, they must be asleep or unconscious. He decided he'd better open up the tent. He undid the zipper, and stared inside. Inside the small shelter, two people were laying on the ground, asleep but not unconscious. One of them was a woman, with thick dark brown hair pulled up in a braid and wound up around a bun in the back. She was dressed in tan clothing. The man noticed that she had a slight bruise on her forehead, and some scabs on her right arm from recently healed cuts. The man next to her also had a scab on his forehead that looked similar. He was about a foot taller than his companion, and had shaggy brown hair. He was wearing black pants, a white shirt, and a dark jacket. He must have been burning up in those clothes, the Arab thought. Suddenly, the man stirred a little. He slowly sat up and blinked his eyes before opening them fully to stare at the newcomer. Han had awakened to find a tall man at the door of the tent. The man was wearing long white robes, and was obviously a native to this area judging by his tanned skin and desert apparel. As the man focused on Han's face, his jaw dropped in shock. "Indy?" the man said in a strong, yet friendly voice. Han had hoped the man would know basic, but apparently he didn't. Han moaned, 'Great. Just perfect. I had to be rescued by someone on a strange planet speaking a strange language.' Then the man continued, "Indy, is that you? My friend, what are you doing out here? And who is that?" Han was surprised to hear the man speaking accented Basic. "Who... who are you? You speak Basic?" Han stuttered. "It's me, Sallah. And it is called English, my friend. You seem to have suffered some dehydration. And you are in great need of a haircut-" Han waved a hand and stood up slowly, "Listen pal. I don't know who you are, or what English is, or even where I am. I just want a ride to the city. You got a speeder?" Sallah was very confused by the way Indiana was talking, but he knew what dehydration could do to a man. He decided to get his friend back to full health with as little arguments as possible. "Yes, of course. I have two camels outside to take us back to Cairo. Then we will get you some help, and some rest." Sallah said. Then he noticed that the young women on the ground had been awake and quietly watching the conversation for quite some time now. She stood up, and stretched. "Who is this?" Sallah indicated Leia. Han was tempted to ask him to spare the questions, but decided to humor Sallah. "This is Leia. And I'm Han. Han Solo." He pointed a finger at his chest. Sallah smiled at Leia, "It is a pleasure to meet you, Leia." Then he turned a questioning glance at Indy. Sometimes the heat caused temporary memory loss, and he suspected that's what had happened to his friend. He decided to just get him back as quickly as possible and to ask questions later, "And you... Han." They shook hands. Leia thought the native, Sallah, seemed very nice. And she was relieved that he spoke basic, or as he called it, English. "Come, my friends." Sallah said, leading them out of the tent. "We will get back to Cairo, and then you two can get cleaned up." Leia stopped as she saw what Sallah intended for them to ride on to the city, Cairo. There were two of them. They were quadrupeds, and shaped very oddly. They had long skinny legs with knobby knees and large flat feet for walking on the sand. Their backs were rounded into a large hump. Their necks were long, designed to reach the ground without much bending over. They were covered in shaggy tan fur. Sallah quickly boarded his beast, then looked back at Leia and Han, who were just standing there. "Come on, my friends. Get on. We should not be wasting time." Sallah urged them. Han surveyed his ride. "Right." he said skeptically. "Get on. Okay..." He approached the animal. The seat on it had mounting straps similar to the ones he had used for the taun-tauns on Hoth. He placed his left foot in the stirrup, and in one powerful move, swung himself onto the animal's back. The stabbing pain in his ribs made him regret this quick movement, but he simply bit his lip and bore it. "C'mon Leia." He called down challengingly. "It's easy. Even an old man like ME can do it." Leia, never one to decline a challenge, stepped over toward the mount. She put her foot in the stirrup, and swung herself up with as much strength as she could muster. She landed easily behind Han on the blanket. "Not bad." Han muttered. Leia smiled at her small victory. Sallah watched this little display with much amusement. Whoever this Leia woman was that Indy was with, she was obviously very independent. Sallah smiled at the couple. "Come now. We will go to my house. You two shall rest up, and tomorrow you can recount your tale." He turned around and with a sharp 'hut, hut!' urged his camel forward, down the dune toward Cairo. ********************************************************************* Oh and it won't be long I think before you-know-who shows up -----signature----- 6 x 9 = 42 Proud member of the Colbert Nation All Hail Cliegg's Blue Leg!

	Ok, now it's about to get interesting... ********************************************************************* Sallah's wife had been kind enough to loan Leia a clean pair of clothes. Now that she was all cleaned up and rehydrated, she felt 100% better. The cream-colored flowing robe she wore was also made of a light, more comfortable material than her previous garbs. She walked out of the room they had provided her with, and into the family room. Sallah was sitting on a chair, and he smiled warmly up at her when she entered. "Ah, Leia. Are you feeling better now?" he asked in his booming, cheerful voice. Leia smiled, "Yes thanks to you and your wife. Where's Han?" Sallah’s face fell a little. He had hoped that when they awoke, Indy and Leia would have fully regained their memory. He wondered why they both still denied his identity. "Leia, are you still not feeling well?" he asked. Leia shook her head, "I feel fine. Better than fine. Why?" Sallah was about to question her, when he was interrupted by a yell of surprise from Han's room. Sallah and Leia exchanged a glance, then headed off down the hall. Han was sitting up in his bed, running his hands through his now short hair in disbelief. He had awaked feeling much better, until he had reached up a hand to straighten his hair. He found that it was cut short. It wasn't that this hairstyle displeased him (he had worn his hair shorter for five years while serving in the Imperial Navy) but it simply came as a shock to him. He saw Leia and Sallah appear at the doorway. Sallah smiled, "Ah, I see you are looking much better this morning. Your hair was quite unkempt. I had it cut back to it's normal length." Han stood up, glad to note that he still had his normal clothing on, only his jacket was on a chair. He picked up his jacket and slipped it on. "Sure, it's just fine." Han answered, not really understanding why Sallah had felt compelled to cut Han's hair. He decided it was probably customary to wear ones hair short in such a climate. "Come, we will eat." Sallah said, leading them further down the hall. Leia smiled at Han, and reached up to ruffle his short hair. "I like it. Something new... makes you look YOUNG." Han grinned at her lopsidedly, "Not that I need it, though. Right?" Leia laughed, "Of course not." The two of them were greeted by the smell of something cooking. Their stomachs reminded them how long they'd been without a real meal. They were ushered to seats at a long table. Sallah's nine children were settle around it. Sallah was seated at one end, and his wife was setting steaming dishes on the table. They began to eat their morning meal, which consisted of some sort of ground, fried meat, grain cakes, and berry juice. Han and Leia virtually inhaled their food. Sallah ate his own breakfast, while watching Indy and Leia. He decided it was time to jog his friend's memory. "Indy, why aren't you at the convention in downtown Cairo?" Han stopped eating and stared at Sallah with a puzzled look on his face. "What are you talking about? Why would I be there?" he asked, "And why do you keep calling me Indy? My name's Han! Sallah was beginning to get worried about his friend. "You came by just two weeks ago to pay a visit. You said you would be in town for a month at a large convention. How did you wind up in the desert, and who" he indicated Leia, "is this?" Han shook his head. Sallah obviously was having a case of mistaken identity. "Look, pal. You obviously got me confused with someone else. Our ship just crash landed on this planet. In fact, what planet is this? It's not on any of the charts." Sallah was utterly confused by his friend's behavior. The delusion was worse than he'd thought. He cleared his throat, "Come now. You are Professor Indian Jones, famous archaeologist. And what is this talk about never having been to Earth?" "Earth?" Han said. He turned the word over in his brain, "Never heard of it. Have you?" he asked Leia. Leia shook her head, and then turned to Sallah. "We had a crash landing here. We came out of a blackhole, and the navicomputer made an emergency landing. We need to find some place to get our repulsors fixed so we can take off. Is there a spaceport near by?" Sallah was really perplexed now. It seemed that Leia also thought they had come from outer space. Sallah shook his head, "I don't know what you are talking about. What is a spaceport?" Han looked at Leia in fear. He coughed, then cleared his throat. "You mean to tell me that there are no spaceports around here? You've never even heard of one?" Han said slowly. Sallah nodded. "So there are none on this whole planet?" Sallah nodded again. "And you don't have any interstellar craft?" Han continued. Sallah nodded once more. Han leaned back in his seat with a groan. Leia bit her lip. "Great! We get stranded on some unknown planet, and they don't even have space travel yet! How are we going to get home?" Han shouted. From the other room, a knock could be heard on the front door. "I'll get it!" Sallah’s son Salim yelled, and ran into the other room. An opening door could be heard, and then a man's voice. The boy came running into the room announcing, "Papa, papa! Uncle Indy is here!" ********************************************************************* -----signature----- 6 x 9 = 42 Proud member of the Colbert Nation All Hail Cliegg's Blue Leg!
