	Title: A Father’s Love Author: Thrawn1786 Timeframe: During the course of The Empire Strikes Back Characters: Chewbacca, the main players from ESB Genre: Diary Keywords: Diary, Chewbacca Summary: Chewbacca keeps a record of his thoughts and the events that take place in the film for his son, Lumpy Notes: This is for the Dear Diary Challenge 2009 and goes along with Trimaj’s diary /The Heart of a Smuggler Also, none of these characters/settings/what-have-yous are mine, they’re George Lucas’s, I’m just getting to play in the sandbox with ‘em for a bit. A big thank you goes out to my extremely nice e-brother, Trimaj, for suggesting this and unintentionally getting my booty back into writing on a regular basis. (translated from Wookiee) Dear Lumpy, I am writing this for you, as I have written before, so that you can grow and learn something more of the galaxy that you will someday travel through, once you are a bit older. Your mother has told me how much you enjoyed the previous journals I sent-your reactions when she would read them aloud to you when you were little, and how you would slowly go through each entry when you were learning to read- so I continue this now. Day One Han and I are currently with the Rebel Alliance on the planet Hoth. It is quite cold, and I pity the humans who seem to shiver despite the layers of clothing they have beneath their uniforms. Every day it’s windy and there’s a lot of snow-it seems to never stop! Were it not for my life debt to Han, I would almost wish I was off-planet. Speaking of Han, I wish he would let me go out on the patrols with him and Luke. It may be just a funny feeling, but I do worry that something will happen to them while they are gone. Though I don’t owe Luke a life debt, I enjoy his company-he reminds me a bit of myself in my younger days, before life turned dark and Han saved me. I’m not sitting around waiting though. Something is wrong with the Falcon, I’m not sure what yet, but I’m trying to find out. Of course, that means moving this and that around, which Han will not like, but he will see that it is necessary to do such to get to the main problem. The fact he is so protective of the Falcon is good-the best pilots need to be=but he is too uptight about the ship, I believe. Lately every waking moment, when he’s not out patrolling, has been spent fixing this, or rewiring that. My guess is Han is worried about the bounty that infernal Hutt, Jabba, has placed on him. If only Hutts were smaller…I would feel no guilt about choking the life out of that vile Jabba for all the stress he has put Han through. To think it used to be “Han, my boy!” and such….Jabba is a fool. A dead fool, if he gets too close to me again. And now Han is back! Time to get back to work-no, your father is not lazy, Lumpy, the welder was overheating…Han needs to quit rewiring our tools since they are starting to malfunction too-so I will write more later. Hopefully we can get this latest problem halfway fixed before the shield closes. Maybe, when he comes back, I will ask Luke if he has any spare time to help. It would be nice to have someone around that doesn’t constantly grumble about the ship. -----signature----- Knick knack, Patti's whack, diva's on her throne-you just got Patti LPwned!

	steals first post great job rach. i've never really seen anything from chewies point of view, much less an actual diary but this is about how i'd imagine it'd be done. strong, sensible, caring and thoughtful. especially since it's to his son. very, very nice touch. :snoopy -----signature----- Love comes in spurts. ~ Murphy's 51st Law of Sex Sex is one of the nine reasons for reincarnation; the other eight are unimportant.~ Murphy's 53rd Law of Sex

	steals second post Very nice work! It's amazing that it sounds like Chewbacca even though I've never really heard Chewbacca speak. I'd say you captured his character very well. And I'm really interested in seeing how this turns out! -----signature----- Twenty years ago, there was another Edward with a strange disposition and even stranger hair that the ladies swooned over.

	AN: Time for a bit of an update. Mine's going to be going a little bit slower than Trimaj's, but not by too much. Entry Two Well, I finally finished welding part of the outer lifter, Lumpy. It was a bit of a mess, thanks to all the modifications Han recently made (and yet he blamed me when it didn’t work!), and I nearly burned off some of my fur a few times, but it’s done. I’m pretty sure Han won’t like it-this has recently become typical behavior for him, he does something, it doesn’t work, and so I fix it, and his temper goes wild until he notices it works better- but if he hadn’t messed it up in the first place, I wouldn’t have had to go back and- Hmm. Now the central lifter is smoking. Great. And here comes Han, grumbling about something else. If I had a million credits, I’d bet that it has something to do with the princess. Ever since Yavin, all they’ve done is squabble like a pair of Barabels. Lucky for us that they don’t have the teeth and claws of Barabels, though, or I’m sure things would be a lot uglier! Han’s just noticed the central lifter too. More to come later, Lumpy. -----signature----- Knick knack, Patti's whack, diva's on her throne-you just got Patti LPwned!

	Hmm, I wonder if this new bad mood of Han's is due entirely to a certain princess.... Great update! Very funny! -----signature----- "STAR WARS Episodes IV-VI are to be referred to as "The Original Trilogy." Episodes I-III are not to be referred to at all." - FakeAPStylebook

	Yup, I'd say Han's mood is definitely due to a certain princess. Ahh, human courtship rituals can be so strange, especially when the couple involved doesn't quite get it! Nice to hear Chewie's point of view on things. Please send me PM notification when this updates. -----signature----- Internet Mom to HSG! Hey, HSG, watch those explosives, be careful!!

	Entry Three Several hours have passed since Han left to look for Luke-which, in turn, he was gone for a few hours before anyone noticed. I wanted to go along, but Han wouldn’t allow it-“someone’s gotta stay here in case the kid does come back. And Chewie, don’t touch the lifters!” I of course did not listen-I am not saying you should be disobedient, Lumpy, do not think this is another lesson for you-but I justified this by saying Han was worried and not thinking correctly. He’d mentioned something this morning about wanting the ship ready to leave tomorrow before dawn, so if I just left it alone we would never make our launch window. It’s just as well that the lifters were a quick repair – my mind has wandered to why it’s taking Han and Luke so long to return. It gets very cold at night, and they will freeze if they don’t get back soon. Dusk is falling –I don’t see how such is truly possible on this snowy planet, but according to time that is what is happening now – so I’m going to wait by the shield for them, Lumpy. I hope –no, pray- that they ride through on the tauntauns any minute now… -----signature----- Knick knack, Patti's whack, diva's on her throne-you just got Patti LPwned!
