Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars, that belongs to Disney. I only do fanfiction so long as they allow it.

A/N: so here is a fanfic from one of my throwaway fanfic accounts. I'm not sure if this is going to qualify as a serious fic or a crackfic. Originally the fic started as What if Leia gave herself to Jabba in exchange for Han and much like a virus it kind of mutated into something beyond just the original premise. So we'll see how it goes. And yes I am a big fan of the multiverse so I'm designating Galaxy numbers (since this is more than just earth)

Luke once again wiggled the fingers of his prosthetic hand. He still had to get used to the thing. Though the mechanical limb was supposed to feel as natural as the real thing, it still required calibration and therapy to fully get control of. It also did not help that so many questions still rolled in his mind. Was Vader telling him the truth? Was he really Luke's father, the great hero known as Anakin skywallker. There was still a part of him that could not believe it, and yet, searching his feelings, there was a strong part of Luke that told him that the dark lord was in fact telling the truth.

"Are you alright?" A voice rang out.

Luke turned around to see Leia walking text to him. Ever since Han had been captured, she had been watching him every chance that she had. The young boy gave a half smile before quietly saying "I'm fine."

Leia didn't buy it. She had known the young man long enough to know when the he was trying to hide something and now was no exception. "What's wrong?"

"I told you I'm fine." Luke started to protest but quickly relented with a sigh when it clear that she wasn't buying his bluff. "I fought Vader on Cloud City. He told me something that's shaken me up a bit."

"What did he tell you?" Leia asked. "Do you want to talk about it? Is it important?"

"It's not military related." Luke Assured. Leia let out a visible sigh of relief. As much as she would have loved information from the emperor's right hand, she didn't want to make him afraid that he was hiding important info. Luke continued to speak.

"As far as talking about it. I don't think I can. At least not until I know it's something I can confirm."

"Suit yourself."

As leia started to walk away, Luke called her back."

"Hey Leia, I have a strange hypothetical question."

"Go ahead."

"If Darth Vader of all people Decided to defect and join the rebel alliance, would you accept him?"

Leia's eyes widened. "Did he…." Luke shook his head. "No, but I don't think he's as loyal to the empire as he likes to portray."

"Well, I mean if he were to defect somebody would have to vouch for him. Even then High command demand he be fully integrated. he would be a dream asset but I don't think anyone within the rebellion would be willing to serve under him."

"Gee can't imagine why. It's not like he the face of an evil tyrannical regime or anything."

Leai couldn't help but snicker at luke's joke, only for her face to turn grave shortly after. "…and that's assuming there will be any rebellion left to serve under."

Luke was about to protest but found he couldn't. The rebellion had nearly suffered an ultimate defeat at hoth, and while some transports had managed to escape, the ones that had appeared at rendezvous point were all that was left, and even they were battered and wounded. If an imperial fleet or worse, Lord Vader were to find them, then it would certainly mean the end of the rebellion.

Luke opened his mouth to speak but soon felt a strong tingling in the back of his skull.

"What is it? Leia asked.

"Luke's eyes widened in horror. "Leia he's here!"

The ship suddenly shook with a mighty tremor causing Leia to get shoved into the wall. The the alarms of the ship screamed red alert as both C3PO and R2D2 frantically entered the medbay. "Princess Leia! Several imperial ships have exited out of hyperspace including an SSD.

"What?" Leia cried out. "How, Alliance intelligence deliberately fed the empire with false leads, How could they have found us?"

Luke let out a grunt has a migraine came over him. It was then he heard a voice call out to him. A voice he had quickly come to dread.

"Luke."

"No, not you."

"Please son. Don't make me destroy you."

Ignoring Vader's plead Luke turned to Leia. "It's me."

"Huh?" Leia asked panicked and confused.

"Vader sensed my presence and tracked me here. "

"Through the force?" Leia asked.

Luke nodded. A feeling in helplessness swept over him. He was though he was on the mend he was in no condition to jump into an X-wing and fight.

Suddenly a holographic image of a Mon calimarian appeared. "Redemption to Home One Is anyone out there?!"

Leia scrambled to the hologram "Admiral this is Princess Leia. Admiral what's happening?"

"Several large imperial ships…heavy fire…heavy casualties."

"Find the nearest system and jump into hyperspace!"

"I'm afraid we can't. Interdictor-class Star Destroyer are preventing us to jumping into lightspeed."

"We can…." Leia quickly started to say. But the admiral stopped her.

"Your highness. As surviving Admiral I'm commencing emergency protocol THX-1138."

Tears started streaming down the princess's face as she let out a gasp. "Admiral you don't mean…"

"We all signed on knowing that it was suicide but we showed the galaxy that the empire is not invincible. As long as the galaxy knows that there is always hope."

"I won't leave the alliance to die!"

"Then live and tell our story. It's been an honor your highness. May the force be with you."

The hologram spurted out as a loud explosion could be heard. Luke and Leia looked in horror as tie bombers swarmed the Home one like Killer hornets as it separated into two halves.

"No!" Leia screamed banging on the windows. With a loud WOOSH the blast doors opened and a swarm of Rebel troopers poured in.

"Your highness. We have to evacuate the ship now."

"The alliance…." The princess spoke with a numb tone.

"The alliance is finished. Right now our concern is getting everyone off the ship."

"It's too late." Luke said.

One of the troopers looked to luke in Protest.

"Now's not the time to…."

With a loud bang the lights of the ship suddenly dispersed leaving the ship nearly pitch black with only the blinking alert alarm providing light and sound. That was until the sound of mechanical breathing could be heard. It was Vader.

Before the troops even had the chance to turn around, the Sith Lord Made short work of them. Leia covered her ears as she heard the terrifying screams of the troops. They didn't even have the chance to fight back. Soon the only people left were Luke, Leia, R2 and 3PO

Almost out of instinct, Leia attempted to grab one of the blasters in an attempt to kill Vader, but as the shots rang out, the dark lord seemingly blocked them with his glove.

"I have no quarrel with you your highness. I am only here for Skywaker."

"I won't let you near him."

"Your alliance is no more, you're a princess without a planet. Whether you live or die is inconsequential to me. But this meeting need not end in violence. I am willing to come to a bargain."

"What could you have that I would possibly want?"

"Boba Fett has taken Captain Solo to Jabba the hutt in exchange for the bounty on his head. Let me speak to Luke alone and I shall grant you transport and guarantee your safety so that you may go to him. You have my word."

Leia nearly raised her blaster in rejection but only to find that Luke was forcing the blaster down.

"Go Leia. I can handle Vader."

"Luke no. He'll kill you."

"No he won't. Besides even if he was I have a better chance of fighting him than you do. Besides. The droids and Han need you/

Leia wanted to protest but found herself unable to speak. Luke turned to Vader. "Tell your troops to stand down."

Without hesitation the dark lord opened up a comlink channel. "This is lord Vader. All Fighters and ships disperse and regroup at Coruscant. Tonight we have seen the end of the rebellion."

The three looked out the window to see all of the ships jump into hyperspace. Once the sector was clear Vader gave directions to his ship.

"My personal shuttle is in the main hanger. Now go. "

Leia looked to look who gave a nod of approval. Calling the droids over, the trio headed toward the hanger, not looking back.

Luke and Vader looked to each other for a few seconds before the dark lord began to speak. "Son, please I ask you again to join me. Only together can we destroy the emperor and bring peace to the galaxy."

"And what then? I don't want to rule the galaxy. You may care about power father but I don't."

Vader chuckled. "So you accept the truth?"

"I don't know what to think. Maybe you are my father, but maybe you're just saying all of this to manipulate me. But one thing is clear…I will never join you."

Vader turned his head as he heard the metallic grown. The sith lord let out a hiss staggering back as burning steam engulfed his vision. he turned around to see that Luke had disapeared. Vader went to chase after him, but by the time he made it to the hanger he could see an x-wing fly into hyperspace. Vader let out a sigh. Luke had escaped his grasp once more

Luke found himself in deep thought as he headed towards the planet of Dagobah. Master Yoda had been right all along. He was not yet ready to face Vader. He had fallen head first into a tap, and the galaxy had now potentially paid the price. Luke did not take the time to make a distress call to any potential survivors as he was too concerned at that moment about outrunning Vader. Though given the stillness of the battle after Vader had dismissed the imperial fleet, he could only guess that he Leia and the droids were the only survivors. Wedge, Ackbar, Mon Mothma. They were dead, they were all dead, and it was his fault that it happened.

Parking the ship into an hollowed out tree. Luke jumped out of the ship and onto the mucky grass. Truth be told it was funny, when he first entered Dagobah with R2 the planet and filled him with a sense of disgust and dread, but now considering everything that had occurred over the past twenty-four hours, something about it felt comforting.

Luke approached the small hutt before gently knocking on the door.

"Away with you! Welcome here solicitors are not."

"Master Yoda it's Luke."

The flap of the hut swung with great hast. the small green master looked unto the boy with a look of surprise and joy.

"Luke Skywalker....." He began to giggle with glee.

"Come, Come. Food on the table there is. Good food I cook.

Luke couldn't help but smile. Unlike before the Jedi Master's jolly and eccentric demeanor put his mind at ease, if only for a while. Still the fall of the alliance had haunted the young Padawan, and the feeling of pain was plain on his face. Yoda did not need the force to sense Luke's turmoil.

"What is wrong Young skywallker?"

The young boy all but broke down as tears fell from his face. Yoda listened quietly as Luke blubbered out what he could about what happened. The encounter with Vader, Han's capture, the imperial ambush on Haven . Everything save vader's revelation came spilling out. In truth he had half expected the Jedi Master to give an "I told you so." type speech, but much to his surprise Yoda gave him an empathetic and sorrowful look

"Come closer." Yoda commanded. Luke did so without hesitation. The green master used his small clawed hands to dry Luke's tears.

"Gone the Alliance is for now, but hope there always will be. Patience you must have. Trust in the force. Find a way it will. Even now, falling the shroud of the darkside is. Always darkest before the dawn it is."

Luke nodded taking what little comfort he could from Yoda's words, but one thing still gnawed at his conscience ever since the duel on Bespin.

"Master Yoda, Is Vader my father?"

Yoda quickly turned his face desperate to avoid answering the question. "Look, ready the food is. Eat we must before it gets cold."

Luke crossed his arms. Yoda clearly knew something that he did not, and it was something he was afraid of revealing.

"Yoda I must know."

Yoda let out a deep sigh. Clearly he couldn't hide the truth forever. "Your father he is."

Luke simply nodded. In truth deep down he knew Vader was telling the truth. Now there was simply no denying it.

"Told you did he?" yoda ask.

"yes." Luke simply said.

Yoda bowed his head. He wanted Luke to learn the truth eventually, but not this soon, not like this.

"Unexpected this is,and unfortunate..."

Luke's eyes flashed in anger for a brief moment.

"Unfortunate that I know the truth?"

"No," Yoda corrected "Unfortunate that you rushed to face him...that incomplete was your training. Not ready for the burden were you."

Luke again nodded. Only after everything occurred did Luke realize just how right. Yoda had been. Had he stayed to complete his training he may have been able to beat Vader, and maybe, just maybe. the alliance would still be around.

"I'm sorry." Luke said sincerely. "if you are willing, I wish to complete the training."

Yoda shook his head. "Trained you as I can, I have. Nothing more can I teach you."

Luke did not hide his disappointment but nodded in acceptance. "I understand. Forgive me, I have failed you."

Yoda's ears perked up. "Oh, misunderstand me you do. Teach you all that I can I have, but teach you someone else can, someone far stronger she is. The embodimant of the lightside itself she has become"

Luke raised an eyebrow with viable confusion not sure which confused him more, the fact that someone else would continue his training, or the fact that she was potentially stronger in the force than even Master yoda "Someone else, who?"

Yoda began to once again jollily giggle his voice bouncing and lifting. "a dear friend of your father she was. Told her of you I have. Though showed your face I have not. Thrilled to see you I know she will be."

Luke couldn't hold back a smile more than anything relived over the fact that his journey as a jedi was not over yet.

"Who is this master, where can I find her?"

"Yoda once again chuckled. "Let her introduce herself I will. Go to the deep core world of Tython. The ancient planet of the Jedi this is Find her there you will. Give you the coordinates in the morning I will, but for now eat and spend the night. Rest you need. In the morning your journey will continue."

Luke was not going to argue. taking the bowl, he ate without complaint or a word. Once he was done, Yoda had given him a wooden mug. "drink this. A special Mead of mine, help you rest it will."

Luke took a sip. He didn't know in truth what he was expecting given the fact that it was mead, but it was far sweeter than he figured it would be. Perhaps he had just assumed it would be bitter and unappealing given the unappealing nature of the planet. Luke finished the drink, the warm liquid had already begun to give look a toasty drowsy feeling. Yoda made a makeshift bed and tucked him in with a warm cloth.

"Dream pleasant dreams skywalker for remains hope still does."

Leia and the droids walked down the deep canyon in which the path to Jabba's palace resided. In truth she had scarcely had interactions with any of the hutts with what little she had, she didn't exactly trust them, but she also knew it wasn't wise to screw around with them. They were greedy and hedonistic sure, but they were one of the few factions that the empire didn't get into direct conflict if they could help it.

C3PO as always voiced his disapproval and dismay of the situation. As much as she tried to loosen him up a bit, he was still a posh droid and the idea of making deals with criminal scum made his circuits crawl.

"Are we sure this is a good idea mistress leia. If you heard half the stories I have about jabba the hutt, you'd probably do whatever the organic equivalent of short circuiting is."

"I've heard the stories 3PO but right now, but Han is in danger and we have to save him. We're going to see Jabba."

"Oh dear oh dear. I have a bad feeling about this."

R2 gave a f mocking beep.

"I'm not a chicken." C3PO retorted. "I'm just overly cautious is all."

The trio reached what to be large rustic Durasteel domed building based on the historical books she had read in her father's old library, it appeared to be an old monastery of the B'omarr Order . The thought of it gave her chills. the B'omarr Order was a religious order that believed in isolating themselves from all physical sensation to enhance the power of their minds. To that aim, "enlightened" monks had their brains transplanted into nutrient-filled jars. Whenever they wanted to move, those bottled-brains used spider-like droid walkers. Older monks using four-legged walkers, while more recent ones using a six-legged variant.

On its own such a thing would not be so bad, but she had heard stories from bounty hunters and victims about people who stumbled upon a monastery were forcible "Enlightened" by these monks. The surgeries required to restore these people to their former states were rare and dangerous and those who did managed to get their body restored often had to have months if not years of physiological therapy to get over the trauma. (if they ever got over it at all.)

As much as she was a strong advocate of freedom of religion, She had argued in front of the imperial senate that the B'omarr Order's status needed to be changed from religious organization to a dangerous terrorist cult, but these pleas fell on deaf ears. The question she had was why Jabba would choose an old monastery as his base of operations.

"huh, I wonder why Jabba would pick such a dreadfully looking place like this."

Leia shrugged. "I guess we better knock."

Leia knocked on the door. Suddenly a TT-8L gatekeeper droid popped out. "Tee chuta hhat yudd!

"Jee dayan bai cohai bai Jabba bu yih." «I need to speak to Jabba the hutt» Leia barked back.

"Wonkee da naga bai cohai bai jen?" « Why do you want to speak to him?» the droid asked.

"Jee dayan bai cohai bai jen vehpobaee han bauag. Jee gee nan bai bargon ." «I need to speak to him about han solo. I've come to bargain.» Leia replied.

The droid paused for a bit before going back into its door, not saying a word. The trio waited for a minute, but the droid did not come out.

"I guess they won't let us in."

Just as she said that, the door began to slowly open with loud moaning and creaking. The dark corridor gave an ominous feeling, though music did echo from the halls. Pulling the blaster from her holster she signaled everybody to move. "Let's go."

R2 quickly followed behind, but 3PO was very hesitant. "Oh dear oh dear. I don't like this at all."

Before they could make more than a few steps, two Gamorrean guards blocked their path. A ugly albino twilek point a finger and ran towards them. Ah'chu apenkee? hi chuba da naga? «Who are you? what do you want?»

Leia bowed to the pale twilek. "my name is princess Leia of the former planet pf Alderaan are you the majordomo to Jabba the hutt?"

The twilek gave a prideful grin and gave a bow. Dobra. Buoddakgee Fortuna ree bargon u. Kava koee Jee bahia uba? «I am. Bib Fortuna at your service. How may I serve you?»

"I've come to bargain in exchange for the life of captain solo." Before making the trip to Tatooine, Leia had made sure to have a bargaining chip. Pulling a small brass chest from her sack, she opened it to reveal that it was filled to the brim with gold jewelry and precious gems. It had belonged to her adopted mother and father, the keepsake that she had of her fallen planet. Bib let out a gasp of awe as he put his grubby fingers through the gems. Leia couldn't help but wince but she held her tongue.

"nudd chaa!" «Forward March!»

Leia looked around at the diverse amount of alien species that inhabited the palace. Many of the galaxies best smugglers, pirates, and bounty hunters gathered around enjoying music food and entertainment the palace had to offer. Next to Jabba was the Mandalorian armor clad bounty hunter boba fett and seeing him caused Leia to grit her teeth and clinch her fist. She wanted to kill him then and there, but she needed to bargain if she wanted any hope of getting Han back.

She then looked over to see the sluggish gangster in all his glory. Bib fortuna took no time in introducing the princess. "master, Jee chayanh uba bai chenlaee Leia see Baubahoe" «Master, "I introduce you to princess Leia of Alderaan»

Jabba began to laugh. "Bad Chenlaee Leia Organa, panbipa dee kouwoce medai kankahuesa. Toupee mi haku koose uba bai mah deana?" « Ah Princess Leia Organa, leader of the infamous rebel alliance. Tell me what brings you to my domain?»

"I've come to trade for the life of captain solo, he's someone very valuable to me and I wish to free him from his debt to you." She then opened the chest of jewels. "These gems belonged to the treasury of Alderaan before its destruction. Surly this is enough to pay the debt that solo owed you."

Jabba looked over the gems and looked at first as though he would agree to the bargain, but grunted demanding they be returned to her.

"mee kouoiohag wuoka mi chenlaee, um Solo gee nai kachu mi kiuke bona. mah tam sapaholea doth ree waajo nei, an Jee nah lee chalya fa bimhee che tiy aha mo phabeka. Wa nem che wa nem. Hea nauit doth mah ata bashodue hoppada." « your generosity flatters me princess, but Solo has caused me much trouble. my new decoration is very valuable to me, and I will not give it up for mere gold or credits. A life for a life. That would be my only agreeable terms. »

Leia bit her lip. "What if I did give you another life in exchange?"

"Fa doth ba taadi bargon. Jee gee nobata coo wamma mi moulee rah peee kouwoce peee Solo. Haku nem caiot uba dotmay bai lee chalya mi?" «It is an impossible bargain. I have no who owes me money as infamous as Solo. What life could you hope to give me?»

The princess walked forward and knelt. "My own, mighty Jabba." The room gasped in unison surprise and shock. Even Jabba was surprised by the revelation. "Mistress Leia!" C3PO protested. The princess however ignored the noise. Her voice began to crack as her eyes filled with tears. "Let Han go and I will submit my life to you. Use me as you see fit I don't care. I won't flee, I won't betray you, you have my word! Just please….release him."

The whole room fell in a dead silence. Visible confusion filled the air. The reputation of Princess Leia as well as her infamy was legendary her pride even more so. How could a scoundrel like Han Solo possibly have been valuable enough to her that she was so willing to thoroughly humble herself. Jabba put his hand to his chin as if contemplating the deal. He then summoned Boba Fett.

"Jipankhopka mee Solo." «Release Solo.»

Boba did so without question and the princess anxiously waited for what felt like an eternity. As Han's body crumbled to the floor she desperately ran to him and cradled him kissing hi forehead. "Han, Han wake up please."

After what felt like another eternity, han's fingers began to twitch and his eyes began to fluter. He soon let out a gasp of air and pushed away. He looked to his left and to his right and then directly to leia.

"L-Leia?" The princess quickly embraced him and silently wept. "Han…you're ok!"

"The last thing I remember we were on Bespin. How did I end up in Jabba's palace?"

"Boba grabbed you, but then Lando got us off Bespin. Oh Han so much has happened."

"You can catch me up to speed later. Come on let's get to the Falcon."

The whole palace erupted into sadistic laughter. Much to Han's confusion.

"What?" Leia gave him a look of heartbreak. "Han….I can't."

"What, what do you mean you can't?"

His eyes widened in horror as he finally put two and two together. "Leia no, you didn't…."

"It was the only way…"

"You can't give yourself to slug! Luke needs you! the Alliance needs you!"

"The Alliance is dead han!"

Han once again found himself lost for words. "What?"

"The Alliance is dead, ambushed and wiped out by the empire. You're all I have left."

"Leia…" Han pleaded. His voice began to crack.

"I already lost you once Han." Leia spoke as she visibly began to sob. "I couldn't bear the thought of losing you again. She then handed him her box as well as the link to Contact Lando.

Guards began to force Solo up from the ground. Jabba forced him to speak. "Sie Jee boonowa tah blanaga couma. Jee lwaa bmeheka mee uba uen nem ateema bamohkan nei. Mee uiuba gee doth wamma um che ateema uba doth nobata janse cahcata du mah bunko. In ting Jee hatkocanh uonza mah bmeheka, um fet hee yoieu doi mah neu." «Spoken in Huttese: While I find this scene touching. I should remind you her life now belongs to me. Your debt has been paid but for now you are no longer allowed in my palace. Perhaps I will change my mind, but until then get out of my sight.»

Han turned and then but then turned back and gritted his teeth, speaking in a gruff whisper that only the hutt would hear. "Jabba, If I learn you've harmed her in anyway. There won't be a single place in the entire universe you can't hide where I won't find you.

doth da bimapa bai doth wa kenog? «is that supposed to be a threat?»

"It's a promise."

With that he walked away, R2 beeped silently before urging his friend to follow. "Go ahead R2."

The droid beeped in confusion.

"I won't leave mistress leia behind. Besides Master Luke needs you…and mistress Leia needs me."

He then turned to the Jabba. "Mighty Jabba, I notice that you are without an interpreter droid. If you'd be willing to accept me I will gladly offer my services to you. All I ask is that you please not wipe my memory."

Jabba quickly accepted the droids offer. R2 was surprised about the protocol droids willingness to sacrifice himself for someone else. The astromech gave several beeps telling him he was proud of 3PO and how they would see each other again eventually and then left with Han.

As the doors closed, 3PO took his position he mumbled something to 3PO before commanding Bib to grab Leia from the Floor.

"The mighty Jabba says that Bib fortuna will show you to your room."

Leia was surprised to find that her room was remarkably luxurious, Gold and fine cloth filled the chamber it even had a public sized bath house much to her shock. There was no way this was a slaves quarters. Suddenly a door opened to reveal a blue female twilek. In her hand was a brass and scarlet belly dancers outfit. The woman introduced herself as Yaba Cha'kala. "Master Jabba says you are to join him for dinner. He commands that you wear this."

Leia looked to the dress in disbelief.

"Need I remind you that part of your bargain for the release of Solo was that you would do as he commanded without question, but should you choose not to wear this, then he commands you join him to dinner…naked."

Knowing she didn't have much of a choice she dressed in the dancer's garment. In truth she didn't mind it all that much and frankly had it been something she bought herself she might have willingly wore it had she felt the need to "let loose." But something about being forced to wear it made it less appealing.

Leia made her way to the dining hall to find that the only ones there were Jabba and C3PO, a bit surprising considering that there was enough food on the table to feed a dozen fully grown men.

"Am I early."

"No," 3PO said translating for his new master. "This is a private meal. Just the two of us."

"I guess Hutt's appetites truly are legendary." Leia said with a laugh.

Jabba laughed.

"Actually while the mighty Jabba says this is true. This food is primarly for you."

Leia looked to the table in complete disbelief. "Seriously? I know I said I would do anything you say but I physically can't eat all this. I'll rupture something."

"The mighty Jabba understands but he does expect you to eat as much as you can."

Letting out a sigh she did as she was told, oddly enough the food had tasted far better than what she envisioned, though she did note how savory it all was. It didn't take long before she had to force herself to yield., though she had hardly made a dent in the feast. "Forgive me….master but I have to yield."

"The mighty Jabba says he understands and assures you this will change with time. He'd also like to comment that you should learn to eat more. He says you are too undernourished and frail, and this will not do for…..uh for huttkin."

Her head quickly turned to Jabba. You can't be serious. Are trying to fatten me up and take me as your bride?"

Jabba let out a grunt of shock before speaking rapidly. "Mighty Jabba ensures you that while you are correct in him fattening you up as you would say, you misunderstand his intentions." Jabba nodded and spoke more slowly.

"You see long ago Master Jabba had his child, but one day an unwelcomed moff known as Tarkin came him and tried to force him to submit to the empire. When the mighty Jabba refused, Tarkin forced troopers to take his son from his arms and…..oh no."

"What?" Leia asked.

"Oh I won't go into graphic detail Mistress Leia it's too horrible, but it seems as though Tarkin had the Jabba's child violently executed right in front of him as a way to make an example."

Jabba let out a low mournful moan. A large slimy tear fell from his face "Rotta."

Jabba's story hit leia hard. This was a story she knew all too well. Without hesitation she got up from her seat and hugged the slimy hutt. Tears fell from her own face. "I'm so sorry. I know what it's like. Tarkin took my family away me too."

"Oh dear." C3PO said. "This is so horrible. Has the Empire have no conscience?"

"What does this have to do with me though." Leia asked.

Jabba continued to speak. 3PO once again translated. "You see Mighty Jabba is enamored by your beauty and knows of your skills in diplomacy. He wants to….make you his daughter. If you stay.

Leia looked up shocked by the revelation. "Wait are you saying you want to adopt me?"

The hutt closed his eyes and smiled (or at least as much a smile as a hutt could give.)

"It appears as though this is the case. Mighty Jabba says that while he does ask you to still do things like dance for him. He assures you that if you stay he will give you anything you want when you want it, and he assures you know one will be allowed to lay a hand on you without your consent. "

Jabba commanded 3PO translate everything exactly as he said it and then asked a question.

"Leia Organa, you are a child without a father, and I am a father without a child. I know I'm know that I am not the ideal idea of a human father. But I promise you I will love you as any father would love their child. Will you accept me?"

Leia didn't know how to react to all of this. When she threw herself at the mercy of Jabba, she certainly wasn't expecting this. While every part of her said this was crazy, she reminded herself that she gave her word that she would obey his every request and as strange as this one was, it was no exception, and in truth. She wanted to accept it anyway.

The young woman gave a genuine smile. "I will….Papa."

The hutt let a joyful moan and squeezed her even tighter. Leia let out a gasp as she felt as though her ribs were going to be crushed to powder. "You're right." She gasped. "I'm too scrawny for a hutt. The hutt laughed and ensured her that would quickly change and she'd have a bulk, strength and constitution worthy of a hutt in no time
