I was breathless. I stumbled backwards. "What?" I said through heavy breaths. Han just stared at me blankly. I looked up at Leila and Alina who looked oddly calm. "I can't... I can't believe it," I said struggling to stand back up. "How?" I asked. "How?" I repeated. Han shrugged.

"I remembered," he said finally managing to sit up. He looked me in the eyes.

"I have a brother," I said to myself. "I have a brother!" I shouted smiling. I crawled over and hugged Han. "I knew I still had family out there somewhere."

Han laughed and hugged me. Leila and Alina just stared at us blankly.

"It wasn't a dream," Leila said to herself.  "Are you serious!" Leila shouted at Han. "All these years and you've said nothing!"

"Calm down sweetie," Han said pulling away from me. "I just remembered, I guess," he said laughing.

"Does it look like I'm laughing!" Leila shouted. Han's smile immediately faded. She was intimidating. Alina just stood back watching all of this go on. She probably wished she had popcorn.

"it wasn't a dream. I'm sure if it," Han said nodding slightly.

"Wh...," Leila  started.

"But wait, there's more," Han said.

"No. No more," Alina said finally speaking up. "Let's just dwell on this for a while."

"Yes ma'am," Han said saluting. I was the only one who laughed.

"Wait. There's one thing j just don't get," I said.

"Yes?," Han aid looking up at me.

"Why didn't the First Order take you to train as a storm trooper?"

"That's what...," Han was interrupted my Alina.

"Nope," Alina said. "No more. I already told you, this is enough."

"Come on guys. Can't you be happy for me?" I asked.

"I guess," they both said at the same time.

"Wait. Where's Chewie?" Han asked.

A look of fear speed across our faces. "Chewie!" We all shouted.

"Oh my gosh, I totally forgot. I'm so sorry," Leila said.

We all got up and left Han to lay there because he still couldn't get up. We started walking around shouting Chewie's name.

We came back and Leia said. "We can't find him. Let's retrace our steps."

"Tatooine!" Alina shouted.
