"Oh look." Leia said as she nudged Han in the side. "The Ambassador and Peenk have arrived. And they have their tamed blonde giantess with them..." Leia's voice trailed off for a moment. "What is that girl wearing?" "Not much." Han said with a smile. Leia slapped his arm. "Didn't they tell her this was going to be a diplomatic function?" "Probably. But she's young. Let her have her fun." Leia turned to Han. "Are you looking for trouble today?" She asked with a glint in her eye as the trio stopped before them. Han Solo gave Leia his best grin, and laughed. "Of course I am! I'm a Corellian, it's what we do. Right Miss Montal?" "Oh, absolutely!" Peenk said enthusiastically. "We Corellians think the day is wasted if we don't get into some kind of trouble. Which is why I think this guy is a Corellian." She said putting her hand on Joshua's shoulder. "He does seem to be involved in everything going on lately." The vice president said. "Some of it by accident." "The incident with the blaster when I took down Corzo. Now that was luck." "In my experience, there's no such thing as luck." Luke Skywalker said as he kissed his sister on the cheek. "Now where have I heard that?" Han pondered mockingly. "What are you doing here." Leia asked her brother. "I thought you had a meeting with Intelligence?" "I told them I'd be late. I wanted to meet our newest Padawan." The woman turned her head to Joshua. "Congratulations! Who's teaching you?" "Mistress Ateia Marelli." "Yes." Luke said, shaking his head saddly. "It's unfortunate about her Padawan, Menzie. I think her fall was my fault. I was the one who asked the two of them to go on that mission to investigate the wreckage of that Stardestroyer." "No. You can't control what's in her heart, sir." Joshua reasured him. "She just became obsessed with finding that holocron." "I wish you hadn't slagged that thing." Luke admonished Kirk. "I would have loved to have seen what was on it. to see what was hidden away by Palpatine all those years ago." "I doubt that it's safe to view anything left by him." Peenk said with a shudder. "I think Joshua did the right thing." "Maddam vice president." Tel'Mar said as she put her hand on Leia's arm. "The President is ready, as are the senators." "Very good. Let's get this show started." She said, taking her husband's arm.
