A while later, Grace was lying down on a bed while C3PO tried to take her medicine but she refused to take it

"Oh come on Miss Grace you need to take your medicine" C3PO said

Grace shook her head no

Han came in and said "what's going on?"

"I'm afraid Miss Grace won't take her medicine" C3PO said

Han looked at Grace and said "oh Grace you have to take your medicine, don't you want to get better?"

"But Han, they're yucky" Grace complained

"Oh Grace this medicine is not that bad" he said while he took the medicine from C3PO "here let me help you"

When Han was about to put the spoon in Grace's mouth, she turned away

"Oh come on Grace, you gotta take this medicine so you can get better" Han said

Grace turned back and looked at the medicine and Han said "come on"

Grace opened her mouth, Han put the medicine in her mouth, Grace swallowed it and pulled on the disgust look

"There, that wasn't so bad?" Han said

C3PO said "Sir, if I may venture opinion.."

"I'm not really interested in your opinion, 3PO" Han said

Then Leia ran to them and said "something out there"

Han said "where?"

"Outside in the cave" Leia said then they heard bang

"There it is, listen, listen" C3PO said

"I'm going out there" Han said

"Are you crazy?" Leia asked

"I just got this bucket back together, I'm not going to let something tear it apart" Han said as he gets a face mask

"Then I'm going with you" Leia said she and Chewie grabs another face masks and went out of the ship

"I think it might be better if I stay behind to watch Miss Grace and guard the ship" C3PO suggested

A while later, flying creatures were flying around the ship, Han, Leia and Chewie came back and Han started the ship

"Guys, what's going on?" Grace confused

"We have to get out of here" Han said

"The Empire is still out there, I don't think.." Leia said

"No time to discuss this in committee" Han interrupted her

"I am not a committee" Leia said as they and Grace ran to the cockpit

"You can't make the jump to light speed in this asteroid field" Leia said

"Sit down, sweetheart we're taking off" Han said then Leia sat down and puts Grace on her lap

As they were flying through a hole, they noticed the cave was closing

"Look" C3PO said

"I see it, I see it" Han said

"We're doomed" C3PO worried

"The cave is collapsing" Leia said

"This is no cave" Han said

"What?" Leia asked and it turns out that it was a giant monster but they finally made it out

Then Han heads out of the Asteroids toward a Star Destroyer

"Oh thank goodness we're coming out of the asteroid field" C3PO pleased

"Let's get out of here, ready for lightspeed?" Han asked Chewie and he was ready "1-2-3"

He throws the hyperdrive lever, the engine sputters and nothing happened

"It's not fair" Han said "transfer circuits aren't working, it's not my fault"

"No light speed?" Leia asked being sarcastic

"It's not my fault" Han said

"What are we going to do?" Grace asked

"Sir, we've just lost the main rear deflector shield" C3PO said "one more direct hit on the back quarter and we're done for"

"Turn her around" Han said to Chewie "I'm going to put all power in the front shield"

"You're going to attack them?" Leia asked

"Sir, he odds of surviving a direct assault on an Imperial..." C3PO said

"Shut up!" Leia interrupted him and Chewie turn the ship around and hide on the Star Destroyer

"Captain Solo, this time you have gone too far" C3PO and Chewie roared "no, I will not be quiet Chewbacca, why doesn't anyone listen to me?"

"The fleet's beginning to break up" Han said "go back and stand by the manual release for the landing claw"

When Chewie left, C3PO said "I really don't see how's that going to help, surrender is a perfectly accepted alternate in extreme circumstances, the Empire may be gracious enough..." and Leia turned him off

"Thank you" Han said to Leia

"What's your next move?" Leia asked

"Well if they followed standard imperial procedure, they'll dump their garbage before they go to the light speed and then we just float away" Han said

"With the rest of the garbage" Leia said

Then Han suggested that they can find a safe port around there

"Well wait this is interesting" Han said "Lando"

"Lando system?" Leia asked

"Lando's not system, he's man. Lando Calrissian" Han said "he's a cardplayer, gambler, scoundrel, you'd like him"

"Thanks" Leia said

"Bespin, it's pretty far but I think we can make it" Han said

"A mining colony?" Leia asked

"Yeah, a tibanna gas mine" Han said "Lando conned somebody out of it, we go back a long way, Lando and me"

"Can you trust him?" Leia asked

"No, but he's got no love for the Empire, I can tell you that" Han said and then ship moved "here we go Chewie, stand by, detach"

Then they flew away
