Fighting for Skywalker ↬ Star Wars

He's Got Plans

"Uh, Luke's awake, or at least he was...I don't know about now. Though he spoke about something that could help...we're going to the Outer Rim," Han told Leia, and she absently nodded. "The way he described the planet, I'm thinking we should start with Dantooine," Han tried again, and Leia absently nodded once more. Leia thought it was best to remain quiet and calm herself and get her emotions under control. She took some steadying breaths and then released a sigh. "So...Dantooine?" Leia gave Han the faintest smile. Han smirked at her and plugged some coordinates into the computer.

"I'm going to get some breakfast for myself and Luke, do you want anything?" Leia asked Han as she inched towards the door. "Some caf would be nice, and some of those razzle berries you picked up, those were great!" Han smiled and she nodded. Their little makeshift kitchen was always full of food as they traveled often, so Leia knew everything was fresh and tasty. The caf machine sat on the edge of the counter, and she began to prep it to make their favorite warm drink that always helped keep them awake. The smell wafted throughout the room and Leia couldn't help but smile in anticipation.

Soon the warm drink was done and Leia brought out a mug for Han and one for herself, plus a bowl for the razzleberries. She dumped a bit of the white fruit into the bowl and brought the snack to the cockpit, eager to eat something herself. "One order of caf and one bowl of razzleberries," Leia smiled, handing Han his food and leaving to go get her own. She took a sip of caf and then poured a glass of blue milk for her son. Leia cooked some strips of nerf meat into bacon and plated it then called Luke in.

Her little boy came bounding in and Leia handed him a piece of bacon and his glass. Luke smiled at her and took a bite. "I know it's not all we usually have at home, but it's what we have. You can have some more nerf bacon and some berries if you please," Leia told her son as he scarfed down his strip. He nodded hungrily and gave him a plate with berries and bacon. Luke took a few sips of his milk while Leia nursed her cup of caf that was growing cold.

"So Mom, where are we going?" Luke asked her. Leia turned to her son and offered him a small smile. "I believe we're headed to Dantooine first, but we'll see what's next later," Leia explained a bit, and her son nodded a bit, sipping more of his milk. "Well, I'm excited. It's been awhile since we went traveling!" Luke exclaimed happily. "That it has.." Leia sighed softly. She thought about all the trips they had taken when their children were little. They had traveled the universe as a family, and Leia wouldn't have traded that for anything. "What was it like, growing up for you? Did you travel the universe too?" Luke questioned her further and Leia blanked at that question.

"Well, I was born on Coruscant with your uncle, and we were raised there for eight years. Grandpa..." Leia trailed off at the mention of her father. She felt a wave of sadness wash over her and Leia tried to push it away, knowing she had to be stronger for her son. "Grandpa was a Jedi, and Grandma was a senator. We went to one of her senate meetings, but then Luke and Grandma had to go away for awhile.." Leia tried to think of how to word her story, knowing that she couldn't have her son bear the weight of the truth. "They went away, and Grandpa, Dad, Uncle Chewie, Aunt Sarah and I lived on Tatooine. Your dad would leave with Chewie sometimes, you see, he was a big strong smuggler! He worked for the Hutt's for quite a time, they lived on Tatooine too. He rode the Millennium Falcon back then too, and I used to think it was a piece of junk!" Leia laughed with her son at the thought.

"No! The Falcon is the best!" Luke cried happily, and Leia smiled. "Well, I know that now, don't I?" Leia grinned at her son. "Yeah! Now more story," Luke prompted her again. "Oh, alright. Your dad always did come back, though, and sometimes he'd come back with information about Grandma and you uncle. The truth is, though, I think he kept coming back because he liked me," Leia giggled. "I can hear you, ya know!" Han shouted from the cockpit. Little Luke laughed at this and she picked her story back up.
