    Okay. Here's a little piece where Han is introduced to the Skywalkers and Leia makes the mistake of taking too long getting dressed. Hope you enjoy.

    :)

    Meet the Family

    A young, petite brunette rummaged through her closet, sporadically throwing articles of clothing in the air behind her, they landed, leaving her normally spotless bedroom littered and looking as if it had been caught in the middle of a war zone.

    Her search, which she pursued with a single-minded devotion, was not halted, not even when an impatient sounding knock thudded at the door.

    She took a dress of modest cut off a hanger and examined it against her reflection in the mirror by her bed. ?No, this will never do,? she muttered, and tossed it over her head.

    Knock. Knock.

    ?What is it now?? she demanded as she swung the door open.

    A young man, her brother, her twin brother, gave her a wan smile. ?Sorry to interrupt,? he said, in a tone that made it clear that he wasn?t, ?But Dad is grilling your new boyfriend pretty badly.?

    Leia Skywalker paled visibly and she frowned. ?Dad promised he?d behave!?

    Luke?s smile morphed into an evil grin, the kind that made clear he was enjoying every second of it. ?You know that your meaning of ?behave? and Dad?s don?t exactly mean the same thing.?

    The young woman shook her head, exasperated. ?I swear he?s such a child, sometimes. I can?t see what pleasure he could get by making every guy I bring to the house nervous. He?s a Jedi Master, for crying out loud! After I tell guys who I am, most run for it because he?s my Father. That?s intimidation enough!?

    Luke chuckled and threw an arm around his sister. ?Just be glad Mom isn?t here yet.?

    Leia?s eyes widened a fraction and she smiled. ?Yeah, guess I should count my blessings.?

    Narrowing her eyes, she gave her brother a look. ?What are you still doing here? Go save him! I still have to get ready. Tell them I?ll be right down.?

    ?Yeah, right,? Luke muttered as Leia slammed the door. ?Women!? he said, and shook his head, frustratingly.

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

    ?No sir.? he answered.

    ?No, I don?t believe so, sir.? he replied.

    ?Me? A scoundrel? Where?d you here that?? he argued.

    ?I?m a law-abiding citizen, thank you very much.? he confessed.

    This conversation was not going well and Han grimaced inwardly. If you could call it a conversation, it seemed more like an interrogation to him. He had always considered himself an intelligent individual but perhaps it was time to re-evaluate that assessment.

    Where had he got the bright idea to come to Leia?s family?s apartments? Han asked himself.

    She had told him how her father was the Anakin Skywalker, famed Jedi Master and her Mother was Padme? Naberrie Skywalker, once Senator, now Chancellor of the Republic. He was shocked to learn, after calling her just Leia for weeks, that he was dating the daughter of what amounted to the Republic?s royal family.

    Maybe he would keep a closer watch on the HoloNet so as to not to be on the receiving end of another surprise like this one.

    Han had played it smooth, naturally. No Jedi Master was going to keep him from seeing Leia. This time, he actually cared about a girl. Lando would give him hell if he knew, but that?s why his old smuggling buddy knew nothing accept that she was ?beautiful?, and ?fun to be around?.

    Leia had looked at him in surprise, commenting that he was made of sterner stuff that most guys she dated if he was going to face down her Father. That was when he swallowed hard.

    He was doing that now too. Anakin Skywalker?s reputation was bad enough but it paled in comparison with the man itself. Han wasn?t all that concerned with her father being a Jedi Master-though he had heard Jedi could sense if he was lying or not- surprisingly. Right now, looking into those determined eyes, all Han saw was a worried father who was concerned about the well being of his daughter.

    That scared him straight.

    If he was being honest, Han had to admit that the kind of wo

    Very, very amusing Jedi of Destiny! Interesting scenerio and clear representation of our beloved characters - no Han/Leia/Luke killing! Hallelujah! Padme was also hilarious - and the end?
    Priceless!

    Wonderful work!

    Well done, well done, well done!!! I haven't read a Han/Leia fic like that in ages.

    You really got into the minds of the characters, Bravo!

    What an interesting read!!! Given Han's past, I thought the Skywalkers were actually pretty easy on Han. Luke was a brat though...thank goodness Leia stood up to him.

    Like everyone else, I LOVED the ending. Priceless!!! Anakin definitely surprised me with his turbolift comment.

    Well done!

    First: You wrote something and didn't tell me :mad: Shame on you! [face_shame_on_you]

    A young, petite brunette rummaged through her closet

    *Resists urge to make a comment this time*

    ?Me? A scoundrel? Where?d you here that?? he argued.
    ?I?m a law-abiding citizen, thank you very much.? he confessed.


    [face_laugh]

    all Han saw was a worried father who was concerned about the well being of his daughter.
    That scared him straight.


    :p

    The women he went for usually didn?t have a father that cared, most didn?t have a father at all.

    So he preys on the vulnerable? :p

    ?Yes, sir, this piece of furniture is one of a kind, I?d say. My bottom?s never been in more pleasure than sitting here right now.?

    [face_laugh] Poor Han!

    A beautiful woman walked in gracefully and gave Anakin a kiss on the lips.

    Now that he's seen Padmé, he'll probably be dumping Leia and going after the more mature Skywalker :p

    ?Is there a problem Captain Solo? That is your intention with my daughter, isn?t it? You plan to get to know her, to marry her, to have children with her and respect and honor her for the rest of your life? That is your intent, is it not??

    [face_laugh] [face_laugh] [face_laugh]

    ?On the contrary, Mom,? she said sweetly, her brown eyes fiery, ?Mara Jade is the skank Luke sneaks out to see after you?ve gone to bed. He?s been going on these midnight jaunts for quite awhile now.?

    [face_laugh]

    ?Could you at least wait until you get to the turbolift next time?? was all he asked.

    :p

    That was very cute, and hilarious, JOD. How nerve racking it would be to date a girls whos parents were Anakin and Padmé. You captured Han's discomfort quite well, and there were lots of good laughs in there. I also really liked the idea of the Skywalkers being a family :)

    Great post :D

    YES!

    I love fics like this, and good ones are hard to find.

    Anakin was priceless, with the whole -wait til the turboluft line-

    And Han and Leia were adorable, as always.

    Sniggers at Jade being called a skank.....

    Wonderful job!

    :) Thanks, Rogue. I'm so used to seeing serious Han, Leia, Luke fics and I wanted to have something funny to read to balance it out. I'm glad you found it funny.


    Well done, well done, well done!!! I haven't read a Han/Leia fic like that in ages.

    You really got into the minds of the characters, Bravo!


    I always find that OT characters are harder to stay true to their character. I'm relieved to know I did them justice. :p Thanks for reading.

    Yeah, I think Anakin should have given him a harder time. :p Luke was a brat, huh? Hey, he can't be an earnest farmboy all the time, right?

    No comment. lol :p

    I can't see Han going with Padme? Mature ain't Han's thing. :)

    Thanks for reading, Solo!I have nothing against Mara Jade but a lot of fics I read he's always drooling all over her(not literally, :p )and I thought it would be fun to poke fun at her. :p

    Thanks for reading everyone!

    Great! I loved that last line. Really, Anakin...

    And Luke was a bit of a brat. I can understand that he'd be worried, but Lukie, Lukie, Lukie, you really ought to be careful, especially when your sister knows about your secrets...

    And the entire Han-Anakin exchange was hilarious. Meeting Anakin scared him straight- hee!

    Really, I loved this. A very humourous fic.
