For Luke, that night was just like all the others since Callista had
left him. He dreamed about her every single night and was awoken with a
morning erection every single dawn. It really was driving him crazy, but
he could simply do nothing against it. He loved that woman with all his
heart and craved her every day and every night.
In the morning – no, it was only 05:00 - Luke was having the usual wet
dream about his lost love, when Mara entered the living room. She didn’t
understand why she woke up so early, but she simply couldn’t sleep. So
she pulled on the robe and decided to talk to Luke about their mission
on Astera.
She quietly approached the couch, only to see Luke toss and turn in
his dream. His face was covered with sweat and he suddenly ripped the blanket
from his body, as if it was too hot. Mara was taken aback by the sight
of a huge bulge on the front of his boxers. Oh my gosh! How does that
fabrit tet tear? she mused, then suddenly started to smile foolishly.
So the great Jedi Master does have such dreams, huh? Who would have
thought???
Mara eventually turned around and left the room. She decided to give
him time to wake up and have a nice, cold shower in the refresher. He needed
it that much was clear for her.
* * * * *
“You know I can hardly imagine you having political negotiations with
a nation’s leader,” Mara told Luke as they entered the city hall. “Why
did Leia and Mon Mothma choose you to do this whole thing for them?”
“Because they trust me, I think,” Luke shrugged.
“So, they trust you... but do you know at all how you will have to behave
in the governor’s presence? I’m sure you don’t even know the difference
between protocol and etiquette.”
“But I do know!” Luke retorted. “There are no etiquette-droids.”
The woman rolled her eyes and told herself that men had as much sense
as a wampa-fur rug. Or less.
* * * * *
“Good morning, Ambassador Slkerlker,” Rayen Wal greeted him then bowed
his head slightly in Mara’s direction. “Governor Nyn is waiting for you
to start the negotiations. This way, please.”
Luke and Mara followed the man who led them to a huge door. When the
Jedi couple wanted to enter the room, Wal stopped them. “I’m sorry, Mrs.
Skywalker, but you are not allowed into there.”
“What?” Mara asked indignantly. “I’ve come here to help Luke, not to
stay out of this whole thing!”
“I’m really sorry, madam, but women are not allowed into the Governor’s
office.”
Mara was about to strangle Wal, when she heard Luke’s voice in her head.
Please, Mara, don’t argue with him!
I’m not arguing, I’m going to throttle this guy.
“Mara, what about a nice shopping while I’m in there?” Luke suggested
aloud.
“Shopping, eh?” she hissed. Everything you buy here is violet or
pink! Those are definitely not my colours! You should know it by now!
“Then go sightseeing,” Luke said.
“Only to see peach-coloured soil and lilac water? You wish!” she retorted.
“You know what? I don’t care what you do!” Luke said and entered the
Governor’s office.
I’m going to strangle you, too! she thought and returned to her
ship to call Karrde.

“So the New Republic offers us membership with all rights and obligations.
That’s kind of them. But what else do we get if we concur to sign the treaty
and join?” the Governor asked, smoking a cigar. “Um, I hope you don’t mind
if I smoke, do you?”
“Of course not, Governor,” Luke replied, using a Jedi technique to keep
the smoke away from his lungs. You will die nine years earlier than
normal, not me, he thought, then he outlined the advantages of joining
the New Republic.
“These are all great things you are offering, Ambassador Skywalker,
but I don’t see what profit the New Republic will have if Astera becomes
a member... It does have some interest in our joining, doesn’t it?”
The Governor was no fool, Luke was aware of it. Nyn was a cunning person
who saw through the NR’s game. For a moment Luke wished he had been a real
diplomat, like Leia. He was unsure whether he would be able to bring this
intractable man round to his point of view. Finally he chose to stick to
his farm boy sincerity. “Well, Governor, the New Republic has heard that
this planet has a great volume of xinx ore, which can be found only on
Astera. The NR has a need for this ore. It would pay you abundantly for
it.”
“I see, Ambassador.” Nyn nodded, then suddenly started to cough. “Um,
sorry.. you you need the xinx ore. But I don’t understand why Astera should
join the NR. We could give it what it wants without becoming a member.”
“I doubt that, Governor. The New Republic has certain rules and regulations,
according to which the citizens of NR can trade with member planets only.
I mean legally. The NR could get that ore through smugglers as well, but
we prefer fair play.”
“Fair play? If everyone played fairly, those poor smugglers would starve
to death!” Nyn joked. “By the way, I heard that your lovely wife is also
a smuggler.”
“You are misinformed, sir,” Luke replied. “Mara used to be a smuggler,
but she has been running her own legal enterprise for more than a year
now.”
“I see.” Nyn nodded. “I’d like to get to know her, if you don’t mind.”
“Not at all, Governor,” Luke answered. “In fact she was here and wanted
to help me with the negotiations, but then your Hand told her that no women
were allowed into your office.”
“Oh, that’s right. No women.”
“I fear I don’t really understand your customs, sir,” Luke said. “First
that law of sentencing every unmarried man over 30... and now this sexual
discrimination... I don’t want to offend you sir, but these customs are
really strange.”
“Oh, you are not the first to tell me that.” Nyn laughed. “Every outlander
regards our habits quite peculiar... well, back to your wife... I’d like
to arrange a ball in five days to celebrate Astera’s joining the New Republic.
I’d like to meet her on this reception.”
Luke’s face lit up. “That means you’ve made up your mind, sir? So quickly?”
“Yes, Ambassador. Especially because Astera has a lack of wheat and
corn. As I know the NR has a great volume of them. It will be a pleasure
to trade with it.”
“You can be sure of that, Governor.” Luke smiled. Both men stood up
to shake hands when the door slid open and a beautiful
young girl entered the office. She had black hair and grey eyes.
A woman here? Isn’t this contrary to the law? Luke mused. Nyn
perceived his puzzlement at once and smiled widely.
“Ambassador Skywalker, let me introduce my daughter, Lilian. She is
the only female allowed to enter my office.”
“Pleased to meet you, Ms. Nyn.” Luke bowed slightly.
“The pleasure is mine, Mr. Skywalker,” the girl replied eagerly. “I’ve
heard a lot about you, sir. I’ve heard that you are theateeatest hero of
the New Republic... I’ve heard that you are the only Jedi Master... Oh,
Mr. Skywalker, it must be such a fun to be a Jedi! Would you show me some
tricks? Is it true that the Chief of State is your sister? Are you a friend
of the legendary Han Solo? Would you tell me about them? Would you...”
“Enough, Lilian. Don’t make a bad impression on our guest,” her father
scolded her then turned to Luke. “I apologise for my daughter’s behaviour,
Ambassador. She is only 19, and too full of energy.”
“You don’t need to apologise, sir, lady Nyn’s behaviour is totally understandable
at her age.” Luke laughed.
“Thank you for not being angry with me, Master Skywalker.” the girl
purred like a kitten, ogling him with her large grey eyes.
Those eyes... they reminded Luke of his lost love.
He slightly shook his head. “I’d never be able to be mad at such a beautiful
lady as you are, Ms. Nyn,” Luke said then told them good-bye and left the
office.
* * * * *
“You did what...?” Karrde shouted through the comlink.
“I had to help him, Talon.” Mara shrugged. “And don’t worry, we’ll get
divorced as soon as we leave this ludicrous planet.”
“Whew, what a relief.” Karrde sighed. “I thought you fell in love with
him.”
“Fall in love with Skywalker? You are not all there!” Mara exclaimed.
“Had he been the last man in the galaxy, I still wouldn’t choose him!”
“Really?” The smuggler leader smiled quizzically. “When will you end
this little play and come back to the Smuggler’s Alliance?”
“In a week, I believe. I don’t know. It all depends on Luke’s capability
of negotiating... on which I don’t rely too much if he doesn’t use the
Force to convince that Nyn person. But I think he’s just too honest to
use those little tricks of his... he is so disgustingly honest!”
“Poor Skywalker! Not only did he have to marry you, but he ahas
has
to put up with your telling such things about him!” Karrde laughed.
“Just don’t be sorry about him, will you?” Mara snapped.
* * * * *
As Mara went back to the city hall to wait for Luke, she saw a young
woman entering the office. What the heck? she thought. So they
allow women in there... then why did they not let me in?... Did they want
to hurt Luke when I wasn’t near him?
Soon Luke exited the office and was surprised to see his ‘wife’ patiently
waiting for him.
“Oh, hi, Mara,” he said. “Have you been sightseeing?”
“Nope. I chatted a bit with Karrde then came back here. How did it go?”
“Smoothly. Astera will join the NR. The governor said that he wanted
to make a big reception in order to celebrate it. You are also welcome.”
“Good to hear,” Mara replied. “At least they let me pose beside you
on a ball like a show-window decoration. How flattering. By the way, who
was that chick who went into Nyn’s office?”
“His daughter, Lilian. She is the only female allowed into there.” Luke
shrugged. “And, how is Karrde doing?”
* * * * *
That afternoon Luke called Leia on Coruscant to tell her about the success
of his meeting with the Governor. Threepio was the first to answer his
call.
“Oh, Master Luke, how nice to see you!” the robot exclaimed in a very
human way. Had he not been made of metal, one would have thought that his
face was beaming with happiness.
“It is nice to see you too, Threepio.” Luke assured him. “Would you
tell Leia that I’d like to talk to her?”
“Sorry, Master Luke, but Princess Leia is not here at the moment.”
“Then Han, maybe?”
“I’m sorry, Master Luke, but Captain Solo is not available, either,”
the droid informed him, being obviously happy to have someone to talk to.
Whenever he had no one to chat with, he felt somehow unbearably depressed.
Well, rob robot could have such feelings at all. But this one surely did.
“Where are they? I need to talk to them,” Luke insisted.
“I’m sorry, but they didn’t tell me where they were going. When I asked
them, Captain Solo simply told me to shut up... what I don’t really understand,
Master Luke. He had no reason to treat me like that... anyway, have I told
you about my adventure with a C9PO droid last week? No? Then you must hear
it, Master Luke! So, I was waiting for Mistress Leia at the door of the
High Council Chamber, translating a Bocce epic into Noghri, then coded
it into binary language in order to entertain myself, when this 9PO ran
into me...” And the droid carried on talking like this for about fifteen
minutes, only occasionally letting Luke interrupt. Finally the door slid
open to reveal the Solo-couple. “Oh, they’ve just arrived, Master Luke!
How wonderful!”
Threepio reported.
As Han and Leia entered their apartment, they noticed at once that their
over-talkative droid was having a chat on the comm-unit.
“Not that again!” Han sighed. “It seems to be his favourite pastime
to share his high-flown theories with some poor, unfortunate soul... Not
to mention that he is always making a tremendous bill for us!” He shook
his head feeling extremely sorry himself and Leia, but especially for the
listener of C3PO’s tirade.
“Poor unfortunate soul?” Leia chuckled. “It’s just Luke. But you are
right... anyone forced to listen to Threepio is unfortunate.”
“Ah, Mistress Leia, Captain Solo! So nice to have you back! Master Luke
was just telling me about the wonderful
developments of his mission on Astera, and I was expressing my opinion
that...” Han gave him a ‘shut-up-or-I’ll-shoot-you-stare’. “Well, I think
my opinion doesn’t have any importance.” The droid hastily withdrew to
make
room for Han and Leia in front of the comm-unit.
“Oh, hello, Luke! What’s up?” the chief-of state asked.
“I did it, Leia. Astera is ours.” The young Jedi grinned.
“Oh, Luke, that’s wonderful! How did you manage to convince the governor
so quickly?”
“He admitted that Astera was in great need of agricultural products,
and thus it needs the help of the New Republic.”
“I’m going to inform the High Council,” the woman said. “Well done,
brother mine.”
“Um, thanks, sis.” Luke smiled.
“Yes, let me congratulatu onu once more, Master Luke!” Threepio cut
in.
“Silence!” Leia snapped at him, suddenly surprised how easily this fussy
droid managed to make her lose her temper. “Luke, is there anything else
you would like to share with us?” she asked finally.
“Oh... well, actually there is...” Luke replied awkwardly. “I had to
get married.”
“Huh?” Leia blinked.
“Congratulations, Master L...” Han shut Threepio down. “Who did you
knock up, kid?” he simpered.
“What? Oh, no, Han, it’s not like that...” Luke turned red. “How could
you think such a thing?”
“Kid, don’t tell me that it couldn’t have happened!” Solo winked. “Don’t
tell me that there cannot be a couple of illegitimate Skywalkers scattered
throughout the galaxy...”
Luke blushed even more.
“Gotcha!” Han yelled merrily. “That blush means I was right!”
“Han! Let him explain it!” Leia interrupted her husband, barely believing
his gentle, saintly brother to be a lady-killer. “I want to hear the whole
story.”
“Yeah, Han, let me explain...” Luke stammered. “It’s really not like
that... It’s a long story, but all I can say for now is that I couldn’t
have stayed on Astera, if I had not married Mara.”
“Mara???” Han and Leia exclaimed in unison.
Had Threepio not been shut down, he surely would have yelled “Oh, my,
Master Luke is doomed!” Or rather “I have a VERY bad feeling about this!”
And for this once, the Solos would have agreed with him.
