The group stepped out of the ship, masks secured to their face. The asteroid was mushy, wet, and foggy. The ground seemed to sink below them.

"This ground sure feels strange." Leia commented as they all slowly crept around. "It doesn't feel like rock."

"Why is it so moist?" Greyson shuddered.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Leia shook her head as she looked around.

"Yeah," Han agreed when a weird hissing noise came from behind them. "Watch out! It's alright." He said as he shot whatever creature was hanging onto the ship. Chewie came around the corner whining. "Yeah, that's what I thought."

"Mynock," Greyson said as she stepped closer to the dead animal. "Chewie check the rest of the ship and make sure there's no more, would ya?"

"Mynocks." Leia repeated, slightly disgusted.

"Go on in. We'll clean them off if there's more." Han said to her.

Suddenly a whole herd of mynocks came out of nowhere, flying over their heads. Chewie shot at them as they passed, and the asteroid shook again.

Han turned around. "Wait a minute," he said quietly. Han shot at the dead mynock again and the asteroid tilted once more. The group stumbled around as the rock moved, Leia grabbing onto the ship to prevent herself from falling. The group made their way into the ship rockily. "Alright, Chewie let's get out of here!" Han yelled.

"The Empire is still out there!" Leia protested. "I don't think-"

"No time to discuss this!" Han said quickly as he ran to the cockpit.

"You can't make this jump to lightspeed in an asteroid field!" Leia said as they reached the cockpit.

"Watch him." Greyson said before putting a hand over her mouth, almost getting motion sick.

The ship flew out between gaps of what appeared to be teeth. They had thought they had rested in a cave but in fact, had flown into the mouth of a strange sentient being. Of course, when they exited the mouth, they were face to face with the Empire once more.

"I'm gonna make the jump to lightspeed, ready? One, two, three!" Han yelled but the ship didn't jump.

"What did you do?" Greyson asked, beginning to panic.

"The transfer circuits aren't working." Han said, looking almost puzzled. Chewie whined.

"You idiot!" Greyson smacked Han for not making sure everything was in order.

"It's not my fault!" Han protested. "It's not my fault." He repeated quieter.

"Han, if we get hit again in the rear quarter we're done!" Greyson reminded the pilot.

"Turn her around!" Han told Chewie.

"You're going to attack them?" Leia asked.

"Sir, the odds of surving a direct assault of an Imperial-" 3PO started but Leia cut him off.

"Shut up!"

Han turned the Falcon around and landed it somewhere atop the Empire's ship.

"Captian Solo! This time you have gone too far!"

Greyson turned around. "Do you want me to power you off? Because I will do it with pleasure." The gold droid shook his head. "Then kept quiet."

"I don't see how this is going to help. Surrender is a perfectly acceptable alternative. The Empire may-"

The droid didn't get to finish his speech as both Greyson and Leia leaned over to turn him off. The droid's body went limp as Han said, "Thank you."

       "Wasn't doing it for you." Greyson muttered.

       "What's our next move?" Leia asked leaning forward, placing herself between Han and Greyson.

"Well, if they follow standard Imperial procedure, they'll dump their garbage before they go to lightspeed, and then we just float away." Han finished.

"With the rest of the garbage." Leia nodded.

"Aw, Han will be reunited with his kind." Greyson said still a little bitter about what happened between the two of them earlier before getting up and leaving the cockpit.

Greyson sat in the back, while Han detached the ship. She couldn't help but dwell on what Han had said earlier. Han always managed to hit every single insecurity, whether he meant to or not. Greyson knew she couldn't entirely blame Han. He often spoke without thinking. But she also couldn't help but hold it against him.

She thought about what Han had said about her and Luke. Greyson always thought he and her acted as any close friends would. Over time she'd taken a liking to Luke. He was pretty much the exact opposite of Han, which was refreshing. He was sweeter than Han, always making sure Greyson was doing okay. He spent any free time he had with his friends rather than spending it alone. He'd do almost anything to make someone happy. He was so selfless. He was so forgiving, always seeing the good in people. That worried Greyson. She hoped it wouldn't come back to bite him in the ass later. Greyson felt the tightness in her chest and the funny feeling in her stomach. The sense of longing for Luke's presence. She missed him more than she felt she should. She noticed she smiled less when he wasn't around.

"Hey, can we talk?" Greyson looked over to see Han standing next to her.

"What's there to talk about?" She asked.

Han left out a sigh. "I'm serious. I am sorry about what I said earlier, I shouldn't have said that."

"You know, there's this bone in your jaw, that opens and closes. That allows you to shut the hell up." Greyson said bitterly, picking at the skin around her nails.

"Yeah," Han laughed a little. "I know you're still mad at me and this might make it worse,"

"Then don't say it."

Han ignored Greyson's comment. "But, friends don't look at each other the way you and Luke do."

"Sure they do." Greyson retaliated.

"No, they don't. You've never looked at me or Lando, or Leia or anyone the way you look at Luke. You look at him like he's the only person in the world. And I guess I got so mad because, well, you're like a little sister to me, and I don't wanna lose you to some kid with a laser sword."

Greyson laughed. "Yeah, well, I don't do boyfriends. You don't need to worry. Boyfriends are a waste of time. Besides we're a little busy."

"You'll change your mind," Han said, kissing Greyson on the top of the head, before leaving her alone once more.

Greyson wondered if Han was right. About all of it. But she wasn't ready to forgive him yet.
