	Title: Needing repairs Han Leia Queen challenge Author: Earlybird-obi-wan Timeframe: just before ESB Characters: Han, Leia, OC Genre: challenge vignette Keywords: Summary: Leia has some relaxing moments with Han, who is repairing the Falcon with Chewbacca. Disclaimer: Star Wars is owned by G.L. Note I got number 9. You've never had a heart of your own Song: Death On Two Legs (Mercury, A Night at the Opera, 1977) Needing repairs All was white on the ice planet Hoth or a variation of that colour when the artificial lights of the hangar blinked on the snow covering almost everything after the blast doors had opened to let a Tauntaun in or out. Luke Skywalker was out on patrol and Han and Chewbacca were busy repairing the Falcon for the umpteenth time. Leia Organa entered the hangar because she wanted to be away from the command centre for a while. Luke had reported that he was headed home and she was relieved that another day had passed with no imperials noticing the rebel base. She passed a young pilot Hrani Amet – a Zabrak with horns on his head and tattoos covering his face – who was working on one of the air speeders and greeted him. Zsasa as he was known in a former life replied “greetings your highness.” Leia smiled “not so formal here Hrani. You have been with the Rebels for many years. I remember your friend Natala and her restaurant on Chandrila, providing a cover for our secret meetings with Mon Mothma.” Hrani said “yes Natala is still there with Hroni Amet. We were refugees from Coruscant and Mon Mothma took us in and provided us with that restaurant. Her son is now here serving with the troops.” Further down the hangar a grumble was heard and a furry head peeked out from a hatch on top of a freighter. Hrani looked towards that direction and grinned “that old Corellian freighter is giving trouble but you can expect that. I have known one and she was also quite troublesome.” Leia smiled “as troublesome as the Millennium Falcon?” Hrani said “she could have been her twin and a guy named Spanners was always complaining about her needing repairs after a mission. And that ship had a droid Artwenty and that was just as troublesome as the ship he served.” Leia said “you should meet Treepio and Artoo. Or Han and hear the names he is giving those droids. I better head that way before Chewbacca manages to destroy a tool or gets Han injured.” Hrani smiled “see you” and he resumed his work on the speeder thinking about Spanners – a man he had known in his former life – destroying a cheap tool with his bare hands. --- She just saw it; the big fat hologram of the Hutt winking out of existence when she entered the hold of the Millennium Falcon perched on its struts in the whitish hangar. Leia heard singing and she wandered to where the singing was. It was in the main room of the ship and Han Solo was sitting on one of the benches. Aah You suck my blood like a leech You break the law and you preach Screw my brain till it hurts You've taken all my money - and you want more Misguided old mule With your pigheaded rules With your narrow-minded cronies who are fools Of the first division Death on two legs You're tearing me apart Death on two legs You never had a heart of your own “Uh hey princess. Do you like my singing?” “What was that? A song about that Hutt?” “Just a bit princess, but more a song about the emperor.” “Huh, those words are fitting for that dark servant, his slave and loyal follower Darth Vader. He tortured me on the Death Star you know. That last part is so fitting for him; you never had a heart of your own. I could have told him that when he was approaching me with that metal sphere with those syringes and their truth drugs. And Tarkin also a candidate for that song; he was really heartless when he destroyed Alderaan” and a tear appeared in her eye. Han said “Leia, shh. Tarkin perished with the Death Star and a fitting end for that monster and I wonder; did Darth Vader perish too?” Leia said “Luke doesn’t believe that Darth Vader is dead. The Force is telling him that the emperor is planning something.” Han grinned “mumbo jumbo, to me that Force is just that and that lightsaber is something for the old times. Give me a blaster to defend you and the rebels and I am your man.” Leia said “the Force guided Luke when he destroyed the Death Star.” Han said “luck, I call it just pure luck and maybe his youth and hunting womprats through Beggars canyon on Tatooine was just the experience he needed.” Leia shrugged and changed the subject of her conversation with the friend who plainly refused to believe that there was something like the Force. She asked “are the repairs going as planned?” “Uh yes. And that’s if you keep golden rod outside. Chewie will murder him if he sets his feet on the ramp.” Leia smiled inwardly ‘another subject of discontent: Han and Treepio arguing the moment they saw each other. She grinned “Treepio isn’t bad Han. He speaks a million languages and maybe he can help you repair the ship” and waited for the inevitable response. Han’s face split up in a mischievous smile and he shouted “Chewie! The princess will send goldenrod here to help you.” A loud grumble was heard followed by clanging and banging and the sound of falling tools and the growl of a Wookiee that was becoming quite angry, followed by said Wookiee stomping down the ladder and coming into the main room. Leia shrugged “uh I will keep Treepio in the command centre.” Han grinned “satisfied Chewie?” Chewbacca growled and pointed at the ladder leading to the top hatch and the upended pot of grease. Han observed Chewbacca closely and saw more grease adorning the shaggy fur. “Princess you have to make apologies, look Chewie is greasy.” Leia smiled “Chewbacca, I will never ask Treepio anymore to help you repair the ship. Droids helping with repairs isn’t good. Hrani Amet, the Zabrak working there, told me about a sister ship of the Millennium Falcon and a droid that was also quite troublesome.” Han said “a sister ship of the Falcon! Nah the Falcon tops everything.” Chewbacca started to growl menacing and that had Han smiling sheepishly. “Chewie, the Falcon is the best ship in the galaxy. Come I will help you. And princess; will you get us a new pot of grease?” Leia smiled “sure” and she ran down the ramp singing: “Flyboy You're just an overgrown school-boy Oohhhhhhh” Chewbacca growled and ruffled Han’s hair. Han smirked “overgrown school-boy” and ran towards the ramp and started to smile when he saw Leia sitting in a large heap of snow. “Where’s the grease school girl?” “Here” and a snowball came flying towards the Falcon. And that started a snowball fight between the two until a shaggy head appeared in the opening growling and waving with his hands. “Grease coming your way” Han and Leia said and both headed for a tool box.
