	]Author: ccp Title: She's so High Characters: Han and Leia Timeframe: From A New Hope to Empire Strikes Back Summary: Han's thoughts on Leia Notes: Response to the 1990s Pop Music Roulette. The song I got was "She's so High" by Tal Bachman. She had been going nonstop since they had met he never could understand how the High Council expected her to always be on display, expecting her heart to be made of durasteel. They treat her like a porcelain doll and Han can’t understand why. To so many she’s untouchable and that just makes him want her more. She's blood, flesh and bone No tucks or silicone She's touch, smell, sight, taste and sound That first terrible night on Yavin he had followed her from the party intending to work his charms. What he found when he did catch up with her broke his heart. He slowly walked to her and placed a gentle hand on her shaking shoulders. Her tortured brown eye’s betrayed that she had been sobbing. Without any words she took the offered shoulder. He vowed then and there to do all he could to protect her always. But somehow I can't believe That anything should happen I know where I belong And nothing's gonna happen Yeah, yeah 'Cause she's so high... High above me, she's so lovely She's so high... Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite She's so high... High above me His ability to maneuver in complex situations soon landed him as a favorite companion on her trips to drum up support for the alliance. It gave him an excuse to keep an eye on her. It also gave credence to the rumors of a more intimate relationship sparked by their heated arguments. First class and fancy free She's high society She's got the best of everything Han watched from the fringes as she worked the crowd at this latest shindig. It always amazed him the way Leia effortlessly put people at ease as she strolled from group to group in an extravagant shimmer silk dress. This was the life she had grown up in; it was where she belonged where she deserved to be. What could a guy like me Ever really offer? She's perfect as she can be Why should I even bother? 'Cause she's so high... High above me, she's so lovely She's so high... Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite She's so high... High above me He dedicated himself to her completely, but she wants a commitment to her cause. Han has entrusted himself to a government before but this time places his faith in her instead. She comes to speak to me I freeze immediately 'Cause what she says sounds so unreal He watches her speak with Luke across the bay from the ramp of the ‘Falcon, and feels his guts churn in jealously. Chewie comes from under the ship, where he has been working on the lifters, and leans against a strut. Han looks back at the wookie’s low growl. With a frown he looks back to Leia and her earnest friend before he answers, “I know pal and you’re right, it’s time to go.” But somehow I can't believe That anything should happen I know where I belong And nothing's gonna happen Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah 'Cause she's so high... High above me, she's so lovely She's so high... Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite She's so high... High above me Hope you liked it.

	That was wonderful. The song was perfect for Han and Leia. Of course if Han had just been more open about how he felt about Leia, he could have spared himself a lot of grief.

	earlybird-obi-wan - Thank you I am glad you liked it. KELIA - Thank you. I feel like the song fit them or at least the way Han would likely view their relationship. Leia could have been more forthcoming herself I think. Golden_Jedi - Thank you.

	He dedicated himself to her completely, but she wants a commitment to her cause. Han has entrusted himself to a government before but this time places his faith in her instead. Perfect song for Han! Nice work here. I like how you allow Han to see the woman behind the symbol. -----signature----- Never tell me the odds. UConn: Huskies forever! RIP Jasper Howard, #6 "Focus on what matters.

	What a perfect song for Han and Leia!! You did a terrific job with it! Han watched from the fringes as she worked the crowd at this latest shindig. It always amazed him the way Leia effortlessly put people at ease as she strolled from group to group in an extravagant shimmer silk dress.

	That is a perfect song. The emotions match just right. She does seem unreachable at this point, but you can get glimpses of her vulnerability. -----signature----- Spock/Nyota, woven forever together in gorgeous bonds of Nyota's "Cherished Moments" diary's gonna be hawt, hawt, melty!
