Grace's Adventure In Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi

Chapter 6

A while later, when they were inside C3PO told the Ewoks about their story, Han was next to Leia and Grace was on Leia's lap

After that the Ewoks were talking and Han said "what's going on?"

"I don't know" Leia said

The Ewoks nodded their heads

"Wonderful. We are now a part of the tribe" C3PO said

Then an Ewok hugs Han

"Just what I always wanted" Han said

Then Luke went outside, Leia noticed it and so she picked up Grace, held her against her shoulder and follows him

"He says the scouts are going to show us the quickest way to the shield generator" C3PO said about the Ewok chief

"Good. How far is it? Ask him" Han asked

3PO turns to ask, Han pulls him back

"We need some fresh supplies too" Han said

3PO turns again; Han pulls him back again

"Try and get our weapons back" Han added

And again

"Hurry up, will ya? Haven't got all day!" Han said

Meanwhile, Luke was outside and Leia who had Grace in her arms went up to him

"Luke, what's wrong?" Leia asked

"Leia, do you remember your mother? Your real mother?" Luke asked

"Just a little bit. She died when I was very young" Leia said when she sat down

"What do you remember?" Luke asked

"Just... images really. Feelings" Leia said

"Tell me" Luke said

"She was... very beautiful. Kind, but sad" Leia explains "why are you asking me this?"

"I have no memory of my mother. I never knew her" Luke said

Grace turn her head to other way on Leia's shoulder so they wouldn't see her trying not cry, Grace still misses Padme so much, when they were talking about her, Grace's memories with Padme flown back

"Luke, tell me. What's troubling you?" Leia asked

"Vader's here, now, on this moon" Luke said

"How do you know?" Leia asked

"I feel his presence. But he can also feel mine. He's come for me. He can feel it when I'm near. That's why I have to go. As long as I stay, I'm endangering the group and our mission. I have to face him" Luke explains

"Why?" Leia asked

"......He's my father" Luke said

"......Your father?" Leia said

"There's more, it won't be easy for you to hear it, but you must" Luke explains "If I don't make it back, you're the only hope for the Alliance"

"Luke, don't talk that way" Leia said "you have a power I don't understand and could never have"

"You're wrong, Leia. You have that power too. In time you'll learn to use it as I have. The Force runs strong in my family" Luke said "my father has it. I have it. And... my sister has it. Yes. It's you, Leia"

"I know. Somehow, I've always known" Leia said

"Then you know why I have to face him" Luke said

"No Luke, run away, far away" Leia said "if he feel your presence then leave this place, I wish I could go with you"

"No you don't" Luke said "you've always been strong"

"But, why must you confront him?" Leia said

"Because, there is good in him. I've felt it. He won't turn me over to the Emperor. I can save him. I can turn him back to the good side. I have to try" Luke said

Luke kissed Leia on the cheek, gave Grace a light kiss on the head, he left and Han came

"Hey, what's going on?" Han asked

"Nothing" Leia said "I just want to be alone for a little while"

"Nothing?" Han said "c'mon tell me, what's going on?"

"I... I can't tell you" Leia said

"Could you tell Luke? Is that who you could tell?" Han asked

"I..." Leia starts crying and turns away from Han

Han grunts angrily and starts to storm away, but stops and returns to Leia a moment later

"I'm sorry" he said

"Hold me" she said and they hugged

After that, they noticed that Grace was looking a bit tired and so they went back inside
