    L_Of_A LOL Brilliant! Him pointing to his butt (reminded me of Finding Nemo for some strange reason "He touched the butt!")

    First I gotta thank Z and Meg for betaing! Since PT and L_of_A covered the comedy I decided to try and be a little serious . . . but only a little ;)

    She Has You Watching Over Her


    ?Of all the gin joints in all the galaxy she had to send me to this one,? Han grumbled as he and Chewie sat and waited for their shipment of supplies to be ready.

    [Maybe the little Princess is trying to tell you something] Chewie woofed.

    ?And what would she be trying to convey by asking me to come here of all places,? Han asked before sipping his drink.

    [Pay off Jabba before it?s too late?] Chewie asked.

    ?And sending me to Nar Shaddaa would do that?? Han tried to keep his voice low. Being on the moon that orbited Nal Hutta wasn?t exactly what Han had in mind when the Princess had asked him to make a quick supply run. It was worse then being in Jabba?s palace. If any Hutt or Bounty Hunter found him, he?d be dead.

    [Why don?t you use the reward money] Chewie said before getting up to grab them another drink.

    ?You know why, Chewie,? Han snapped.

    [I do] Chewie woofed. [But the Princess doesn?t] With that the Wookiee went to the bar. Han sat back in his chair looking at the empty shot glass in front of him, soon the sounds of another conversation filtered over to him.

    ?The Empire must really be desperate to get rid of those rebels if they?re hiring witches,? a man?s voice whispered. Han leaned back in his chair to hear them better.

    ?I am the best shot in the galaxy,? a woman snickered.

    ?You sure about that? That smuggler they?ve hired ? Solo I think his name is. He was known as the quickest draw in the outer rim.?

    ?Good then I?ll have some fun, once I?ve taken out the Princess. Maybe if I?m lucky I can collect the bounty on Solo?s head? the woman said.

    ?If Boba Fett can?t get Solo, what makes you think you can?? the man asked.

    ?Simple,? the woman said sweetly. ?Imperial intelligence has told me Solo accompanies the Princess on almost all of her missions for the Rebellion,? Han balled up his hands into fists, cracking them in the process.

    ?How are you going to find out what they?re next mission is??

    ?By becoming one,? the woman laughed. With out waiting to hear the rest of the conversation Han got up and headed towards Chewie.

    ?We gotta get out of here,? He whispered to the Wookiee as he grabbed him by the arm and escorted him out of the dive of a bar.

    [Cub, what?s the matter?] Chewie growled.

    ?I think I just heard a plan to ? ? But Han?s words were cut off as a blaster shot rang over his head. He turned to see the woman from the bar firing at them. Drawing his weapon at unbelievable speed Han got a shot off before he and Chewie made a run for it. As they entered the hanger their contact came up to them.

    ?You?re all set, everything is loaded, and ? ?

    ?Get down!? Han shouted as a blaster shot hit the Falcon. Their contact tossed Han a data pad then ran off into the shadows. Han ran up the ramp but not without turning and getting the woman in the shoulder.

    Clutching her injury she watched as the Falcon took off. She closed her eyes and began to chant. ?You might have gotten away today Solo, but I won?t let you ruin my surprise for the Princess.?

    On the Falcon, Han stumbled to get up to the cockpit to help Chewie. He began to feel dizzy and light headed.

    ?Chewie,? he called out right before everything went black.

    --

    ?Han,? the voice sounded familiar to the smuggler. His eyes fluttered open to find that he was back on Home One in the med ward and a concerned Princess was starring down at him. He moved his lips to say something but no words came out.

    ?Here, have some water,? Leia quickly went over and poured a glass of water for Han. He tried to say ?thank you? but again no words escaped his lips. He quickly downed the glass of water hoping to allevia

    Irish I loved the opening line. One of my favorites...
    I also liked how you placed it before the South Passage scene.

    I thought this was a tough challenge. I'm going to try my hand at it. I hope it doesn't come off as too confusing. I'm placing it sometime between Han's rescue from Jabba and Endor.

    Just Another Mission

    Another day, another mission, another trip to the med center.

    Han wondered how he got himself into these things. He supposed that he just oculdn't say "No" to certain people in the Alliance.

    Alright, second try to post my entry for the Sept/Oct H/L challenge.

    This story is placed between Han's rescue from Jabba and Endor.

    Title: Just Another Mission

    Another day, another mission, another trip to the med center.

    Han wondered how he got himself into these things. He supposed that he just couldn't say "No" to certain people in the Alliance. The Council had been preparing for their final assault on the Death Star, and Leia had been assigned the job of collecting the entrance codes to the shield generator building on Endor. As usual, Rieekan had asked Han to accompany her. He would have preferred to have spent his time preparing his ship for the upcoming battle, but, it was Leia, and she was to meet her contact on Corellia of all places, so how could he have refused? Han had thought that it would give him a chance to procure a few cases of a Corellian Malt that was used in the most reverent of mating ceremonies. He planned to further his relationship with Leia as soon as possible after Endor, and the malt could be stored in the smuggling compartments of his ship until that time came. He had hoped, however, that it wouldn't have to be stored for an extended period of time. Now he was wondering if he would get the chance to use it at all.

    **********************************

    The mission was a rather simple operation, as the dangerous part had already been done. Han wasn't overly concerned about the Princess' safety, as she was to meet her contact in a much used public bulding devoted to the free exchange of information for the purpose of recreation and educational advancement, otherwise known as a 'holorary'. After depositing Leia among stacks of holos devoted to political history, Han knew that he'd have more than enough time to complete the quest for his creative Corellian concoction. The malt itself wouldn't be hard to find, but each clan had its own recipe for an 'additive' that would make it unique to each mating pair's union. The most difficult part of the process was finding the perfect mixture of herbs for the brew.

    The previous day, when he and Leia had been shopping for fresh fruit in the open market, Han had fortuitously encountered an old woman vending spices. While Leia was checking the ripeness of each fruit, he had sidled up to the spice stand. He knew exactly which spices he needed, but the woman had been slow in gathering them for him. Losing his patience, he had snapped that she was "slower than a rancor in heat", but, fortunately, he had completed the purchase without raising Leia's suspicions.

    Unfortunately, he was unaware that the old waman had been quite perturbed at his insult. Little did he know that, hailing from the remote world of Dathomir, the woman was quite acquainted with rancors and had her own way of dealing with people who affronted her. Evil eye glaring at him, she chanted under her breath:

    "Beware the mhyet.
    Double its power and allergy suffer.
    Taste and touch will change as such.
    Blow by blow trouble will grow."

    Han and Leia had continued on their way, blithely unaware of the curse that had been placed upon them.

    -----------

    Leia was actually looking forward to waiting alone for her contact in the holorary, as it would give her a chance to learn more about Han's home world. She chose a stack of disks, placed them on the edge of her individual viewing center, and became engrossed in a holo about Corellia's political clan structure. Soon after, her contact sat at the center next to Leia's with her own pile. After completing her fourth holo, Leia accidentally knocked her stack to the floor. Her contact, as planned, turned to help her retrieve the fallen disks, knocking her own to the floor.

    While sorting the disks, the woman made sure that the one holding the stolen codes was placed in Leia's pile. That was to be all the interaction they had planned to have, but the woman had more information for her than expected. "Princess," she whispered, "you came with your usual pilot, righ

    Thanks, PT. Its a special compliment coming from you, because you were my inspiration for this one. When I read the challenge, I though, no way... This is too hard. But it really was fun to write...

    Chewie-Fan, I loved it! The whole thing! It was just perfect! Poor Han. It wasn't his fault she drank the malt...and that glass bottle. Ouch. So sorry, Solo.

    Leia_of_Alderaan -Thanks for checking back on my fic. I wasn't sure about including the cracking the bottle over his head scene... too violent... but, I gave in to my more aggressive tendencies this time. I guess I'll have to be a bit nicer next time.

    Chewie-Fan- Hey, it's no problem! I love reading new fanfics! Even if they are centered around the exact same circumstances, they all rock.


    To all: Here's a point of interest! A brand new SW site created by TF.N's own Courtney_Solo! Here's a link:Star Wars and More Check it out! It totally rocks! Like I mentioned, it's new, so it's still small. Now's your chance to get in from the beginning! I find that here, on TF.N, I often find myself not understanding some of the things some people say. Sure, I'm new, but I think I have a point. Plus, it's cool to have like, four million posts on your record a ways down the road. If you get in now, everyone only has a few posts, so you don't feel as new.

    I know I took forever to say it, but my main point is, get over there and sign up!
