(Y/N) placed the helmet overtop her face. It was a normal bounty hunter helmet; similar to what Boba Fett's had been. It was a dark, violet purple with a few silver scratches from previous clients. (Y/N) wore black pants and a black top, both covered in a few pieces of armor. Her cape was a dark, almost nightshade, blue. Long, but not nearly enough to get in the way.
She could feel the pressure weigh on her shoulders. She was given a great task that not many hunters could handle. Retrieve Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, unharmed. That would be almost impossible. She knew Solo through Jabba the Hutt; occasionally passing by him on Tatooine. Skywalker was a different story. (Y/N) heard of him, but only in stories. He almost seemed unreal.
I mean, Darth Vader had a son? How come no one knew about this? She thought in her head.
(Y/N) landed her ship on the ground of Endor. She pressed the button to open the entrance of her space craft. The (H/C) haired woman walked from her tiled floor to the tough dirt of Endor. She took one step and cocked her head to the right. She heard music. Not music found on Voss or Naboo, but traditional Endor music; Ewok music. (Y/N) found a spring in her step, and moved swiftly through the forest. She followed the sound of shouts and sticks hitting their drums.
She ran into a few branches, but soon found herself looking in on what seemed to be a celebration. Then she spotted him.
Han Solo.
She turned her head just slightly and saw a dirty blonde boy dancing with a brunette woman. Luke and Leia, she thought. The bounty hunter recognized the princess from a poster board on Alderaan some time ago. Granite, it was before Leia's home planet blew to bits.
(Y/N) saw the short, brown Ewoks having a joyous time with the humans. She knew that she couldn't make an entrance with all of these witnesses. She did her work in silence. She would wait until they were fast asleep, when no one would hear their cries for help. She would gag her prey, and sneak them to her ship.
It was a simple plan. She figured that she would need to be extremely quiet, or else devise a different plan. A piece of her deep down told her to wing it, but her conscience told her not to because of all the money she will receive.
No matter, she thought. I will know what to do when the time comes.
She sat behind a large bush and took her helmet off. (Y/N) found her eyes closing, and in minutes, was asleep.
Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker could sense someone nearby. He had no mean of reaching in the person's mind. (Y/N) had trained herself at a young age to block out Jedi mind tricks and messages. Luke realized that this anonymous newcomer was a force to be recon with. But whilst dancing with his sister and friends, he seemed to let it slip out of his mind in no time.
He twirled his sister over to Han Solo. The ex-smuggler grinned widely and swayed the princess back and forth. Small Ewoks approached the Skywalker boy and tugged at his pant leg. Luke showed a confused expression. An Ewok demonstrated what they all wanted by spinning itself around. It clicked in Luke's mind; they wanted him to dance with them. So the blonde knelt down and held hands with the furry Ewoks. They danced in a circle, giving hoots and hollers in enjoyment.
After a few hours, the Ewoks were fast asleep. Han Solo and Princess Leia lay sprawled out on a hammock together. Luke sat in a tent, wide awake, tinkering with his lightsaber. He suddenly saw a figure enter his tent.
"We can do this the easy way, or my way," (Y/N) said. She pulled out her blaster and a gag. Luke looked utterly frightened, but only for a moment. The feeling vanished when he realized that he could trick the hunter into leaving.
"You will leave this planet and forget about me." Skywalker commanded with his Jedi trick. (Y/N) showed no sign of emotion. She took two steps closer.
"Last chance, Skywalker." She warned. Luke tried another trick, but it was no match. (Y/N) knew how to put up a shield against any Jedi, even someone like Darth Vader.
Luke sighed, and held up his hands as a surrender. The bounty hunter pulled out restraints from her pocket. She locked the chains behind the blonde's back, and gagged his mouth afterwards. The boy stood and (Y/N) walked him out of the tent. She dragged him with her to the ex-smuggler's hammock. Luke knelt down next to the hunter willingly. (Y/N) smiled, then suddenly pulled out her blaster and knocked him over the head with the end of it. Luke Skywalker was out cold.
(Y/N) carefully pulled Han Solo out of the hammock. He stayed in a deep sleep, even while she gagged and cuffed him. She pulled the two by their restraints back to her ship. In retrospect, she should've brought them to her space craft in a way she wouldn't have a hernia; they were both easily 150 pounds!
After lugging her captives to her ship, she flew off of Endor, and let the craft sit in the sky. She didn't have to have the men to her employer until next week; she had time to relax, so why not enjoy it?
Interrupting (Y/N) from her thoughts, Luke Skywalker began to wake up. He rustled, tossing and turning trying to prop himself on his knees. (Y/N) saw this, and smirked to herself underneath her helmet. It was fun seeing her captives struggle. She knew it was cruel to think this way, but it was this way of thought, or not being in this business. And frankly, you don't get paid much for being a maid on Naboo.
Eventually, Luke Skywalker had himself sitting upright. He used the Force to untie the gag.
"Really? That took me a while! You have a weird shaped skull..." (Y/N) complained.
"Why do you want us here? Where is here?" Luke asked, confused.
"Well, it's only common sense, (to me anyway) that if a bounty hunter captures you, then you're wanted by someone with a lot of money!" The (H/C) haired woman said sarcastically.
"If you're so proud of yourself, take off the mask. Show me the monster that I presume you are inside." Luke said in a rude tone.
On the inside, (Y/N) was hurt by the boy's words. She has never been called a monster. She pushed her feelings aside and slid her scratched helmet off of her head. (Y/N) ran a hand through her (H/L) hair.
Luke stared in awe. He assumed the hunter was some crude, scoundrel that had no heart. That was until he noticed small stars in her eyes; stars that could shine so bright if she would put the bounty business behind her.
At this moment, Han Solo decided to wake up. The first thing he saw was (Y/N). Han Solo knew that he had incredibly strong feelings for Princess Leia, but the moment he looked in the hunter's eyes something made him rethink everything. He knew that he hasn't even met her formally yet, but he too, like Luke, gazed at the hidden sparkles in (Y/N)'s (E/C) orbs.
"Oh, great! Now this nerfherder is awake!" She said in a rather sassy manner.
