Han Solo left Leia's quarters and strode purposefully towards his ship. Once again, there was something wrong with the hyperdrive, and he and Chewie were probably going to be spending the whole day sorting it out. Hopefully, no one would come looking for him to say that he was needed to go be a general. Well, if they do, they can just stuff themselves, unless the imps invade.

What he was really thinking about, though, was the weird holofilm that the kid had found yesterday. It had somehow documented most of his, Leia and Luke's life from the time that Leia was captured by Vader until the medal ceremony on Yavin. What. The. Hell. None of them had any idea how whoever had made the holo had recorded it – hell, he would have noticed if there was a random holo cameraman running around on his ship! Han had actually quite enjoyed seeing all the scenes that he hadn't been around for, and it was fun to see the kid that embarrassed, but even he had to admit that it was a bit awkward with other people watching. Like Leia, during the 'A princess and a guy like me?" conversation.

He also wandered why it had stopped there, and found himself almost hoping that there was more – and then hoping that there wasn't 'cause if there was, they would probably get around to his relationship with Leia… and that would be really awkward.

He reached the Falcon and palmed open the ramp. There was no movement on the ship, telling him that Chewie was probably still asleep. Damn lazy Wookie. Just as he was opening his mouth to yell at his friend, his foot slipped on something, and he nearly fell over.

Once he had regained his balance, he looked down at the object lying on the floor. It was an innocent – looking holofilm, and on the cover…

Damn.

Han barged into Chewie's cabin and began to yell at him. The Wookie was awake within seconds. "What!"

Han shoved the holofilm in his face. "Have you seen this?"

Chewie took it. The holo looked very familiar, but slightly different. On the front were the words "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back". In the background was a huge picture of Darth Vader, while in the foreground was Luke, Leia, Lando, and Han pointing a blaster at something. There was also some random green creature with very long ears and several AT – AT walkers.

He exchanged glances with Han. "Well, looks like we are going to be sharing some more of our life stories." The ex - smuggler told him. "Come on, let's go find the kid and Leia."

Leia sat in a meeting with Mon Mothma, General Rieekan and several others when Han suddenly burst in. She broke off what she was saying as everyone turned to look at the ex – smuggler, most in annoyance. She frowned, and opened her mouth to ask what he was doing there, but he beat her to it.

"Hey, your highness, look what I found." He tossed her a holofilm. Her mouth fell open slightly.

"Oh my god." She looked back up at him. "Where was it?"

"The Falcon. I think we're supposed to go watch it again."

Leia nodded. "Have you told the others yet?"

"Chewie went off to find Lando. No idea where the kid is. Or the Rogues."

"Excuse me, but what –" Mon Mothma broke in but Leia, having opened the holo, cut her off. She was blushing.

"Um, Han, do we have to have the Rogues here for this?"

"Why not?"

"You haven't seen the inside, have you?"

She came around the table and showed him the picture of them kissing that was on the inside. He winced.

"No I don't think we should let them see –"

"Hey guys! Chewie told us you found another one!" Leia and Han turned. To her horror, Chewie stood there with Lando, Luke and – unfortunately – Wes, Wedge and Hobbie. She quickly closed the holo.

"Uh, yeah. It was on the Falcon. I have a feeling we're supposed to watch it."

Lando took the holofilm and began examining it with the others. "Hey, I'm on here this time!"

"Why aren't we?" The three Rogues whined.

"But I'm on the front!" Luke sounded excited. It faded slightly when he saw who else was. "Oh… So is Vader."

"Who's the ugly green creature?" Wes asked. Luke smiled.

"You'll see."

"CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!" Mon Mothma yelled at the group. Leia looked at her, having completely forgotten that she was there.

"Oh… Sorry, Mon. I need to go… Watch this… Sorry… Excuse me."

She led the group out of the council chamber and closed the door on the council's shocked faces.

"I hope that wasn't anything important." Luke said, sounding a bit worried. Leia shrugged.

"Not really." She told him.

Wes was practically bouncing up and down. "Come on! I want to watch it!"

"Ok, Ok, calm down." Leia told him. "We'll go to my quarters. They're closest."

She led the group down the hall, the others chatting excitedly.

"Hey, I'm going to be in this one!" Lando kept repeating.

"Lando, old friend, you do realize that if you're going to be in this one we are going to be on Cloud City?" Han suddenly pointed out. Leia stopped suddenly, Luke careening straight into her back. She turned.

"Luke… If they are showing Cloud City… Didn't Vader…" He realized what saying and turned slightly pale.

"I guess… We'll just deal with that if it happens." He brightened for a moment. "But they wouldn't have been able to record it!"

"Well, how did they get you and Han's conversation?" She asked. He winced. She looked at Han then. "Carbonite."

He winced. "And… You saw the inside of the holo."

She nodded. "This is going to be interesting, to say the least."

Ignoring the questions of the Rogues, she continued walking. Palming open her door, she slid the holofilm into the holo player as the others claimed their seats from the day before.
