Chapter Three: Will you go out with me?

Han watched as Leia headed towards the elevator, this was his chance to get her on her own. He dived towards the doors.

"PRINCESS," Han shouted in excitement making Leia jump in surprise.

Just my luck Leia groaned to herself. "Its Leia," she snarled back at him.

Leia hated Han Solo. She hated everything about him, his smile, his hair. But most of all she hated the way he would called her princess.

Han grinned at her, "I prefer Princess," he said with a slight smugness.

"Do you now?" Leia sighed, she knew far to well that this was going to lead into a sparing match between them. And this is the last thing I want after the morning I've had Leia thought to herself.

"I think it suits you Princess...Princess, Princess, Princess.." Han answered.

"I'm busy now Solo. Can I ignore you some other time?" Leia moaned.

Han grinned again and replied, "well to day is you lucky day."

"Why are you going to disappear into a black hole?" Leia asked smiling.

This is going to harder then I thought Han moaned to himself.

"No... I'm gonna take you out on a date tonight."

Leia was taken back for a moment, she could not believe what she just heard. There was a long pause before Leia burst into laughter.

"I do not know what makes you so stupid Han, but it really works?" She laughed.

"What's so stupid, I heard that can happen...you know... you see someone you've know for years then bang in a flash you've fallen for them." Han replied sounding rather serious.

Leia raised her eyebrow, Solo was up to something and she knew it. Two can play at this game she thought to herself.

"Oh really," she said with a smile and moved closer. "Well I can think of better things to do with my evening then spending it with you laser brain so please excuse me." Leia pushed the stop button and waited for the doors to open.

Nothing happened, Leia pushed the button again. Still nothing.

"Han, I do not want to alarm you but the doors wont open."

"What?" Han said and started banging the door, but they still remain closed. Han started pushing all the buttons.

"Han don't," Leia yelled then the alarm went off.

"Fantastic, now you've really screwed it up." Leia shouted her faced turning red.

"Oh have I," Han smiled "sorry."

Damn it! Why did he have be so... so... ARRGGHH Leia thought to herself.

She pushed Han to the side and tried pulling the doors apart while he stood there and watched with a big grin on his face.

"Don't worry Princess at least this gives us more time to get to know each other." Han said, he was starting to enjoy this.

"Help!" Leia shouted, banging as loud as she could on the door.

"Can I tell you something?" Han asked moving closer to her.

Leia was still trying to pull the doors open, "please don't... HELLO!!!"

"Nope sorry I have to... theres something very tempting about the way you move your lips when your angry." Han said moving in on Leia.

"Excuse me," Leia replied she was not sure what Han was implying.

Han smiled "say something."

"What? Has Luke put you up to this? If he has I will kill him!" Leia was starting to get nervous but she refused to show it.

"No Luke hasn't put me up to this, I was just thinking you, me stuck together in an elevator..." Han grinned he could see Leia's blood boiling under her skin.

"What are you talking about? Are you threatening me? Because if your are I would like to remind you who my father is." Leia snarled back at him.

"No...no..no I'm just pointing out that some people might regard this as an ideal chance to get to know each other." Han replied moving closer so his lips were inches way from Leia's.

"Don't even try it Solo," Leia said pushing Han away from her.

"Oh Princess," Han sighed.

"LEIA!!"

"You have no idea how attractive you are to a guy like me." Han replied while Leia just glared at him.

"Stop messing around." She answered, for the first time in her life Han had her speechless

"I'll ask you again, will you go on a date with me?"

"No I wont," Leia replied firmly.

"Why not?" Han asked staring right at her.

"Because you're the kind of man that is a blueprint for building an IDIOT!" Leia shouted at him.

Han just laughed and bravely moved in again "I like everything you do Princess, I like everything about you and I'm serious."

Leia felt herself trembling, "who are you? What have you done with the old Han?" She asked.

Han smiled and replied, "Nothing... I used to think you were horrible, rude, stuck up but now I've realized I was wrong your fun and exciting. Your my kind of girl."

Han and Leia's lips were almost touching when the doors opened. There stood Lando with a surprised look on his face.

"Lando, this is Leia... we're going on a date." Han said without breaking eye contact with Leia

"In your dreams flyboy," Leia replied pushing Han away and headed off down the corridor

"Don't pay any attention to her she can't get enough of me," Han said to Lando.

"I'll pick you up at eight then," Han called out to Leia, who didn't reply. "I think she likes me." Han said with a smile while Lando just chuckled to himself.

Meanwhile...

"Just walk up to her and ask." Wedge said

"Its not that simple," Luke groaned.

"It is that simple, why are you so afraid?" Wedge question his friend.

"I'm not!" Luke whined

"Then prove it, here she comes now," Wedge said pointing to young girl that had just entered the corridor.

"Ok I will," Luke answered much to Wedge's surprise.

Ok... ok... you can do this... just breathe... Luke thought to himself as he approached Mara Jade while Wedge watched on. He could feel his heart beating hard, trying desperately to escape his chest.

On second thoughts I can't do this Luke quickly turned away but it was too late Mara Jade had seen him.

"Hey Luke," She called out.

Her voice sounds so sweet.

"Oh hey, I didn't see you there," Luke lied.

Mara raised her eyebrow, "Oh it looked as if your were coming over to talk to me," she replied.

Think Skywalker think...."Um... um... Will you go out with me?" Luke blurted out. You are such an idiot!! Luke's mind screamed at him.

"Sorry?" Mara Jade said sounding a little confused.

"Um.. I mean if you free tonight or tomorrow night... or whenever..." Luke rambled nervously trying to find the right words.

"Are you asking me out on a date?" Mara Jade asked.

"Well...yes..."

Mara Jade smiled "I would love too."

Luke's mouth dropped opened, he couldn't believe what he just heard. "That's great..."

"Should we say tonight," She asked releasing Luke need help with this.

"YES... I mean tonight is fine... I'll pick you up around eight?"

"That's fine, I live at..."

"I know where you live," Luke butted in. Mara Jade raised her eyebrow again. "Not that I'm a stalker..." Luke said

Mara Jade smiled, "Ok I'll see you at eight." She said before heading off down the corridor.

Luke would has cursed himself for sounding so stupid but he was too happy to even think straight. Unlike his sister this was turning out to be the best day of his life.
