Not A Princess {Han Solo Story}

Shut Up, Solo!

In the distance, one of the stars becomes brighter until it is obvious that the TIE ship is heading for it.

"A fighter that size couldn't get into deep space on its own," Obi-Wan stated, earning an irritated grunt from Nell.

"Seriously, Ben?! That's kinda obvious, no need to tell us that."

"Well, he ain't gonna be around long enough to tell anyone about us," Han smirked proudly.

Viewing the 'star', Nell shook her head, "What the hell is that?" Luke looked at Nell, confused as well, "It's a small moon!" Interrupting before the two could say anything else, Han spoke, "I think I can get him before he gets there... he's almost in range."

"Fuck!"

Nell spoke upon seeing something she recognized as a space station.

"He's here, Ben," she muttered, her voice trembling as she did so.

"I have a very bad feeling about this," Luke answered honestly.

"Yeah, I think you two are right about this. Nell, get ready and Chewie, lock in the auxiliary power." Going into focus, Nell tried to boost the power within the ship, but it wasn't working. "Han--" He nodded, "I know.. I think we're stuck in a-- No, let me rephrase, we are stuck in a tractor beam, it's pulling us in."

"But there's gotta be something you can do!"

"There is nothing we can do, kid. Nell isn't all powerful, she only has so much strength and the ship isn't gonna be able to fight the tractor beam either."

Nell grunted in frustration while looking out the front window.

Then an idea came to her, "Wait, Han-- We used to smuggle stuff in this ship, are the compartments still in the same place."

He stood up, cupping her cheeks happily, "I love you!" With a laugh, he led everybody down the hallway after turning off the engine. Nell quickly crawled into the cubby in the floor with Han and the others went into the one opposite. There wasn't a lot of room per-say, so the brunette was practically draped over Han's lap.

"Come here often?"

Teasing. Of course he was teasing!

"Seriously, Han?" Then she paused before sarcastically finishing, "Yes, I hide in your smugglers floor box constantly waiting for you to come down and join me so we can meet like this."

He chuckled, "If you wanted to meet like this, you could've called. No need to hide." The brunette blushed as anger and confusion flushed through her. Once footsteps were heard above them, Nell popped her head up and waiting for him to leave.

Slowly they opened the hoods of their hiding spots.

"Boy, it's lucky you have these compartments," Luke spoke. Han shook his head, "I use them for smuggling. I never thought I'd be smuggling myself in them. This is ridiculous. Even if I took take off, I'd never get past the tractor beam."

The brunette shook her head, "I might know a way."

"Damn fool. I knew you were gonna say that."

"Who's more foolish... the fool or the fool who follows them?"

Ben spoke, causing Nell to snort in response. Han shakes his head before grabbing Nell's arm, "You don't have to do this, your job was to fight, not to get yourself killed, besides.. these are passengers. Expendable by our standards."

"Han, I'm not the girl you left behind ten years ago.. I'm someone who has accepted my past and now knows what I have to do." He nodded slowly, "Fine, but don't die on me. Got it?" Nell chuckled, "Aw, poor Han-ny! You worried about me?" He chuckled, muttering a quiet 'shut up' before two more crewmen walked up onto the ship, carrying a box and the female pulled Chewie around the corner as the rest who were still in the smuggling quarters just simply hid under the floor, but Han then stood up, knocking the two soldiers out, causing Nell to snort once more. "Hey, down there, could you give us a hand with this?" And then it took only moments for them to journey up and he shot them.
