Saga Getting What He Deserves - H/L

This is a horror story for a Halloween challenge at another site. I got the idea from an old Alfred Hitchcock Presents short. It is unbetaed so all the mistakes are mine.

This is the reason PonyTricks wrote her "Grave Plots" story. Let the evilness begin.

Getting What He Deserves

?Pure Sabaac!?

Han Solo grinned at his opponents as he leaned forward to scrape the credits together into a pile in front of him. Several of the players groaned and tossed their cards onto the table.

?I?m out,? Wedge said as he stood up. ?I?ve got patrol at 0600.?

?Me too,? said Wes. ?Not to mention, I?m also out of credits.?

Han picked up one of the credits and flipped it to Wes. ?You?re not out of credits anymore.?

?You?re all heart, Solo.? Wes pocketed the coin. ?Goodnight.?

Barely noting the departure of Antilles and Janson, Han turned his attention to Dack. ?I guess it?s just you and me, kid.?

Dack shook his head. ?Sorry, Han. I?ve got night duty. Thanks for letting me play.?

?Sure.? Han just shrugged, put the last of the credits into his pockets and gathered the cards. He enjoyed the game and tried to get others to play as often as possible. Most of the rebels were anxious to kick back and test lady luck on something as safe as a hand of sabaac. They didn?t have much in the way of credits, but they would gamble whatever they could. So far, Han had only lost a few credits. He wasn?t worried about losing this little source of income. They?d play again and inevitably, he?d win again. His bigger source of income for the past year came from the high command in the way of supply runs. Even though the crazy idealists paid him a decent amount, it wasn?t enough. His business debt was exceptionally high. At this rate, it would take him years to repay Jabba and the Hutt wasn?t into long-term amortization. He needed a quick way to make a lot of credits.

Until then, he?d have to lay low and hope the bounty hunters wouldn?t find him. It wasn?t like anyone here would try to collect on him. They were wanted people as well.

**

One of Han?s favorite pastimes, besides sabaac, was princess baiting. He loved to rile her up ? she was beautiful when she was angry. No one else would attempt the things he did. They kept her on a pedestal, while he knocked her off it. It humanized her and just maybe he?d get lucky and find the real Leia after the fallout.

Han snuck quietly into her office. She was sitting at the computer reading the Tatooine Register. Suddenly, she stiffened and turned the monitor off.

?Thinking of relocating to the sand pit of the galaxy, your highnessness??

She slowly turned around and stood up, putting her hands on her hips. ?Is there something you need from me, Captain??

Han smiled lopsidedly, with hungry lustful look in his eyes. ?There is one thing??

Her eyes widened at his insinuation. ?How dare you!?

?It?s not a dare.?

She threw a flower vase at him. ?Get out!?

He sidestepped the vase and it crashed on the wall behind him, splashing water on his back. She?s got a good arm. ?Think about. It?s a good way to deal with all that frustration in your life.?

She started opening a drawer and Han made a hasty exit before she could reach in and pull out her blaster.

**

Every time Han saw Leia after their encounter, he would wink at her and she would pretend to snub him. She could pretend she was insulted but he knew that she was interested. She?d watch him when she didn?t think he was looking. She started to avoid him, so naturally, he tried to get closer to her. When the council asked him to make another run, Han could have sworn Leia signed in relief.

When he returned, his first thought was to seek her out, but she wasn?t in her office. After an extensive search, including an enjoyable detour into the ladies? shower room, he found her in deep conversation with Wells Morgan, the quartermaster and the rebellion?s unofficial banker.

?Have you set up the special account as I requested??

?Yes, your Highness. Do you have the funds f

 

How horrible! Yet darkly funny!

Good job on this. This is why cocky smugglers should never shoot first. Oh yeah, and nice calling this H/L

 

How evil! It's like Leia turned into Greedo, but she didn't even shoot at Han! I hope he learned his lesson not to shoot before knowing all the facts...

Man alive...

 

He... he... Leia... *faints*

Wow, that was certainly a twist! Great job!

*strangled squeak*
That was... That was...
I'm sorry, I'll have to clear my mind and not dwell to much of this story, cause then I think my heart would explode in my chest.
It's good, though.
*hyperventilates*
Bye...
*runs from story, crying madly*

 

No good deed goes unpunished...

 

Irony, got to hate that.

 

But getting 'even' was fun!

 

That was great! Quite a twist!

 

Aaaack! Han was too hasty! Good story!

 

Man...Treebeard and his "don't be hasty" motto comes to mind....if only the GFFA had Ents..he..he..(looks for silver lining, looks for silver lining) maybe it was set for stun?
Brillantly evil twist!
-SE

 

I've been wondering about what inspired PonyTrick's recent evilness. Good job, RM! And you managed the whole thing without mentioning Luke!

 

Hmmm... he should have just asked her. Paranoia never helps.

And this inspired Grave Plots? Wow.

 

Well done!

One of Han?s favorite pastimes, besides sabaac, was princess baiting.

 

He shot Leia!

How wickedly evil

Great story!

 

Daaaaaang, he shot Leia. Great story. But then I don't someone as seasoned as Han would have shot that hastily without actually seeing a blaster. He's gotten out of worse situations. Very good story, though. Daaaaaang. He shot Leia.

Man alive... Sometimes shooting first isn't a good thing.

Ani-maniac

He... he... Leia... *faints*

Wow, that was certainly a twist! Great job!

Ani-maniac Glad you liked the twist. With Han having the shooting first reputation, I knew the plot would work for him.

*runs from story, crying madly* Ooops. I'm sorry. I really do love Han and Leia - but I just had to do write something evil for Halloween.

No good deed goes unpunished... Leia was doing a good deed - Han just didn't know it.

Irony, got to hate that.
I love irony.

But getting 'even' was fun! And you did a good job too.

That was great! Quite a twist! Thank you. And I like your sock.

Aaaack! Han was too hasty! Good story! That he was. Thank you.

-SE If you want to believe it was set for stun, you may keep your delusions.

shI've been wondering about what inspired PonyTrick's recent evilness. Good job, RM! And you managed the whole thing without mentioning Luke! I know. I even did that on purpose just to prove I could do it.

Hmmm... he should have just asked her. Paranoia never helps.

And this inspired Grave Plots? Wow. Yeah, Han should have, but that wouldn't have been fun. Yep, Pony gets upset when Han and Leia don't live happily ever after. I thought I might have to hide under an assumed name.

DarthBreezy

Well done!

One of Han?s favorite pastimes, besides sabaac, was princess baiting. thanks. Glad you like that line.

He shot Leia!

How wickedly evil

Great story!

Daaaaaang, he shot Leia. Great story. But then I don't someone as seasoned as Han would have shot that hastily without actually seeing a blaster. He's gotten out of worse situations. Very good story, though. Daaaaaang. He shot Leia. Very true. I was going more for shock value.
