       "Why are you asking this of me?" Luke asked, his voice laced with worry and concern. "You'll be around. She doesn't know or trust me why would she.."

       "Luke. Promise me. Don't let her fall victim to her feelings. Or the Darkside." Ben placed a hand on Luke's shoulder. "I couldn't bear to see any sort of repeated history." Luke nodded, but he still didn't understand why Ben would say this.

       "I promise."

       Obi-Wan opened the door. "The Force will be with you. Always." He took one last look at his daughter before leaving.

      Chewie growled out some words while putting his hands on his hips and Greyson laughed while Han agreed. "You said it Chewie. Where did you dig up that old fossil?" He asked.

       "Ben is a great man!" Luke snapped angrily at the pilot.

       "Yeah, great at getting us into trouble."

        "I didn't hear you giving any ideas."

       "Well, anything's better than just hanging around here waiting for 'em to pick us up."

       "Who do you think-"

       "Boys!" Greyson had finally had enough of their bickering. "You're annoying the hell out of me. Shut up. Besides, I think R2 found something." R2D2 beeped in response.

       "Well, what is it?" Luke asked looking at the droids.

       "I'm afraid I'm not quite sure, sir. He says 'I've found her' and keeps repeating 'she's here.'" 3PO replied.

       "Who? Who has he found?" Luke walked over to the R2 unit.

       "Princess Leia."

      "The princess?" Luke looked up in shock. "She's here?"

        "That's what he says." Greyson shrugged.

        "Princess?" Han's question went ignored.

       "Where? Where is she?" Luke asked urgently.

       "Princess?" Han repeated himself louder this time. "What's going on?"

       R2D2 began to beep out the whereabouts of the Princess of Alderaan.

       "He says she in level five, detention block AA-23." C3PO said. Luke nodded and R2 began to beep once more. "I'm afraid she's scheduled to be terminated."

       "She's going to be killed?" Greyson asked.

       "Oh no." Luke said quietly. "We've gotta do something!" He turned to the group.

       Han shook his head. "What are you talking about?"

       "The droids! They belong to her!" Luke walked over to Han and get close to his face. "She's the one in the message we gotta help her!"

       "What message? We weren't told about any message." Greyson walked over to the two boys.

       "Now look, don't get any funny ideas. The old man wants us to wait here." Han sat down as Luke walked back to the droids.

       "He didn't know she was here," Luke explained before turning back to the droids. "Find us a way to the detention block." He instructed R2D2.

       "I'm not going anywhere. And neither is Greyson." Han announced.

       "You're not my mom." Greyson commented.

       "They're gonna execute her! A few minutes ago you said you didn't want to wait around to be captured, now you wanna stay?"

       "Marching into the detention area is not what I had in mind."

       Greyson put her hand on her forehead and sighed. Being with Luke and Han was like watching an old married couple bicker about what dishes to use for family dinner. She knew she couldn't let the princess be executed. "Han, come on."

       "But they're gonna kill her!" Luke cried out.

       "Better her than us!" Han snapped back. He spun the chair around sp he wasn't facing Luke anymore.

       "Don't be so heartless Han, she's a living person!" Greyson said but Han waved her away. Luke seemed to give up, but only for a moment.

       "She's rich." Luke said softly leaning onto Han's chair. Chewbacca softly roared.

       "Rich?" Han looked up.

       "Rich, powerful. If you were to rescue her the reward would be.. more wealth than you could imagine." Luke replied.

      "I dont know I can imagine quite a bit." Han looked up at Luke.

       "You'll get it." Luke promised.

       "I better."

       "You will!"

       "Alright, kid." Han agreed. "You better be right about this."

       "Do you have a plan, Skywalker? Because we can't just waltz into the detention center and free a prisoner." Greyson crossed her arms and leaned against the wall. She hoped all this would be worth the trouble. She more glad that she'd have something to do to keep her mind off of her father. Greyson knew what he was going to do, and she had a funny feeling she wouldn't be seeing him anytime soon.

       Luke looked around the room, hand clapsed together. "Uh.. 3PO, hand me those binders over there would, ya?" Luke took the binders from 3PO and walked over to Chewbacca. "Now, I'm gonna put these on you-" Chewie roared loudly and startled the boy. "Okay! Han, you- you put those on." Luke backed away and tossed the binders at Han who snickered.

       "Don't worry Chewie. I think I know what he has in mind." Han said to the wookie and Luke looked around some more.

       "Ah hah!" Luke let out a noise of triumphant as he pulled out another pair of binders. He walked over to Greyson. "Give me your hands." Greyson rolled her eyes and stuck her arms out so Luke could put the binders on her. She let out a short breath and Luke looked back at her. "It'll be worth it. Come on." He offered up a small smile. Greyson rolled her eyes but smiled a bit.
