"Why did we agree to this?" you mutter under your breath as you hide inside a false floor panel with Luke.
"Well, at least you—we don't have to share with Han." Luke replies, mumbling to himself. You give him a look even though it's most likely too dark to see. However, Luke notices. Oh no. She'd rather be with him, wouldn't she? He let out a rather loud huff, earning him a slap on his thigh, the only part of his leg you could reach to hit. He lets out a whimper of pain, but is silenced by the sound of stormtroopers marching over your position and your hand covering his mouth.
     When the stormtroopers leave, you still have your hand over Luke's mouth. "You can take your hand off of my mouth now," he jokes. You suddenly jerk your hand back, just then realizing how long you have been holding it over his mouth.
     "Sorry, Luke."
     "Don't worry about it, ____. Anyway, I have something I want to tell you..." Suddenly, the panel is lifted up and he tries his best to cover you, thinking it's the stormtroopers from earlier.
     Instead, it's Han and Chewbacca, "Come on you two lovebirds. We need to figure out how to get off this station."
     Your face flushes again at the nickname. Luke isn't any better, you can tell he's a little flustered by the comment as well.
Luke lends you a hand in getting out of the false floor panels. With a small nod of gratitude, you look over to Ben Kenobi, who seems to have come up with a plan.

••••••••

     A small argument and a plan later, you find yourself in a small control room overlooking the hangar bay with Luke, Han, Chewie, and the two droids. Ben has left in search of the tractor beam, leaving the rest of you to wait. You pull at the collar of the officer uniform you are wearing. You hate how you seem to drown in it, but it serves its purpose. After all, it's not like there was a woman officer on deck at the time. Han and Luke take off their helmets as Han whistles, "You'd definitely make a good officer." He winks at you. Unfazed by his comment, you shrug and walk over to where Artoo keeps beeping. You look at the console, confused at what the little droid is so excited about.
     Luke and Han turn to you and ask in unison, "What is it?"
     Threepio translates, "He keeps repeating, 'She's here. I've found her.'"
     You shake your head, "It's someone named Princess Leia."
     Luke perks up, "She's here?"
     Instead of Luke feeling jealous, it's you who feels the little twinge in your gut. "Yeah. Do we know her?"
     Luke doesn't answer. He just rushes over next to you to look at the console. "Look, she's scheduled for execution! We've gotta do something!"
     You look to Han, relaxed back in on of the chairs in the room, "Not my problem."
     Luke turns around, shocked at his response. You see the smuggler's point. She's not the mission. Heck, Luke seems to be the only one who knows who she even is. It's too risky to pull off a rescue.
"But she's going to be executed, we can't just stand by," Luke tried to persuade you and Han. Normally I'd be on his side, but we need to get this message to... Leia Organa. She's a known Rebellion supporter. If we can get her out, we can get whatever is in this droid to the Rebels.
You glance from the smuggler to your best friend, "He's right. If we can do something, shouldn't we at least try?"
Han gives the two of you a look, "Better her than me. Beside, I can't get paid if I'm dead." You huff. Of course. Money always comes first.
     Luke seems to realize this as he shoots you a grin as he tempts Han, "She's rich." He lifts an eyebrow, signaling you to join in.
     "Rich, powerful," you say sweetly.
     Luke nods and continues, "If you were to rescue her the reward would be..."
     Han falls for the bait, "Would be what?"
     Luke scoffs at how easy this is, "Well, more than you can imagine."
     Han sarcastically responds, "Well I can imagine quite a bit."
     "You'll get it," Luke makes a promise. I just hope we'll make it off this battle station in one piece.
     That seems to sell the idea to Han, "Alright kid. You better be right about this. What's you're plan?"
Luke glances around the control room, searching for something. He looks to your utility belt and unclips the binders hanging on it. What is he doing?
When he has them, he looks to Chewbacca and says, "Now, I'm gonna put these on you." The Wookie roars in protest, causing the blonde to stumble back and into you. You gently push him off of you as he stutters, "H-Han, you-you put those on."
You and Han start to realize what Luke's plan is. He really expects us to infiltrate the detention area? This isn't some holo where we sneak around and save the day, this is going to get us killed.
However, when Han puts the binders on Chewie, you realize it's too late to stop them now. Either way, you give them both an uneasy glance. Han recognizes your worry and gives you a wink, attempting to reassure you. You slightly smile, not noticing the glare Luke is shooting at Han.
You pull on your officer's cap and get ready for your next adventure, saving a rebel princess from the highly guarded detention center aboard the the most dangerous space station in the galaxy. What could possibly go wrong?
