just great :: penny

When Luke and I sat in the cockpit drinking coffee, he seemed a bit off.

 He seemed extremely nervous for some reason. And when I told him he's not ' just a passenger anymore,' he said he had to leave.

 Leia's wrong, he hates me.

"Penny!" Han's voice calls from outside my door. "Wake up! We need you!"

 I groan and climb out of my bed, grabbing a loose jacket to put over my t-shirt, and head towards the main hold. Luke and Leia are sitting drinking coffee.

 "He's in the cockpit," Leia says.

 I sigh loudly and walk towards Han. "It's always the cockpit," I grumble under my breath. "I feel like I live in the goddamn cockpit."

 "Okay, now that you've finally decided to join me," Han grins as I step into the cockpit. "Chewie and I need to make a pitstop."

 "Why 'Chewie and I'?" I ask. "What about 'Penny, Chewie, and I'?"

 "Becasue you need to stay here," Han answers. "And I lied, it isn't 'Chewie and I', it's 'Her Majesty, Chewie and I'."

 "What? Leia gets to go, but I have to stay here?"

 "Someone has to stay here with the droids and the idiot."

 "No," I shake my head. "You take Luke, I'll stay here with Leia. You still owe me big time from when you decided to give Luke and Ben a ride without talking to me first, remember?"

 Han smirks. "I already told the kid he gets to babysit you, and think I'll find some other way to repay you."

 I narrow my eyes at the dumbass. "Like what?"

 Han shrugs. "I haven't decided yet."

 "So just what exactly are you three making a pit stop for anyways?" I ask, sitting down in the pilot's chair.

 "Chewie needs to pick up some things for the ship. So I suggest, you let us make this pitstop because it's going to help you in the long run."

 "Fine," I groan. "But now you really owe me big time, Hannie Boy."

Leia insisted they take 3PO and R2 with them because if they got into any trouble, she didn't exactly trust Han to get them back out. I don't exactly see how this would help them, but then again, I bet 3PO could put someone to sleep if he went on and on about something boring. Maybe Leia was right.

 But becasue they took the droids, it means I'm now stuck on the Falcon with Luke. Alone.

 Just great.

 The guy hates me, and now I'm stuck alone with him. I hope he doesn't try to murder me or something.

 I end up hiding out in the cockpit with a cup of coffee, waiting for everyone to get back when I hear a knock on the doorway.

 "What do you need, Luke?" I ask, not turning around to face him.

 "Is that seat taken?"

 I look to the other pilot's seat next to me, and before I can answer him, he's sitting down.

 "Luke, get off of Han."

 Luke laughs, and I find a smile creeping onto my face. Maybe he doesn't hate me. The two of us sit there not saying anything before Luke asks,

 "So how'd you meet them?"

 "Meet who?"

 "Han and Chewie, how'd you meet them?"

 I shrug. "They needed help with a repair on the Falcon. They met me and decided I was the right person for the job, and one thing led to another, and now we're a happy little family that threatens to murder one another almost every day."

 Luke smiles. "I like the-the 'Hannie Boy' nickname, and the smacking him in the back of the head. It's funny."

 "Oh god, he hates that nickname so much," I laugh. "The only reason he lets me call him that is because I think he's slightly scared of me."

 "Is that a good thing?"

 "Of course," I grin. "It means he does almost anything I say."

 Luke chuckles softly and tucks a strand of hair behind his ear.

 God, is it bad I wanna kiss him? Because every single time he tucks his stupid hair behind his stupid ears, the urge becomes stronger and stronger. I doubt he would want to kiss me though...I'm still not positive he doesn't hate me. I bet this is all an act. He's just bored, and I'm the only one to talk to right now.

 Yeah, that sounds right.

Is it bad I want to kiss her?

 I mean, Han said she doesn't get involved with passengers, but Penny said herself that I'm not a passenger anymore. I should lean over and kiss her. No one's here to see it. It's the perfect plan, right?

 What if she freaks out? What if she just doesn't like me, passenger or not?

 But after the smuggling compartments and trash compactor, she seems different. She doesn't get mad at me when I talk to her. She get's...nervous? I don't know, something like that. Maybe I'm just crazy.

 Also, why has neither of us said anything in a while? We're just sitting here in silence, smiling at each other like idiots.

 Does that mean something? Is she thinking about kissing too? Is she thinking about murdering me?

I feel like I should say something. We're just sitting here in silence. But if I'm being completely honest here, the silence isn't all that bad, it's kind of comforting.

 I'm just looking into his (revolting) blue eyes, and he's smiling that (horrendous) smile at me, and then he tucks his (disgusting) hair behind his (awful) ear again.

 And now I'm thinking about kissing him again. Is he thinking about kissing me too? Is that why he's so quiet?

 Should I just do it? How would he react? Has he even ever kissed anyone before?

 I should say something, I'm gonna say something, I have to break this silence or I'm gonna end up kissing him.

 He beats me to it.

 "So...living like this...do you meet a lot of people?"

 Thank god he beat me to it, I had nothing.

 I shrug. "It depends. Some places are almost empty, and others are crawling with life."

 "Does it get lonely? I mean, you only have Han and Chewbacca to keep you company."

 I shrug again. "We make the occasional friend, but they don't usually stick around for too long."

 "Guy friends?" He asks.

 "What are you trying to ask?" I smile. "Trying to figure out if I'm getting any?"

 "What? No! Of course not, it's just...uh...do you more commonly make guy friends or girl friends."

 "Very smooth, Skywalker." Okay, yeah, maybe he really doesn't hate me. "Have you ever talked to a girl before you met me?"

 He rubs the back of his neck, a blush beginning to form on his cheeks. "Just barely. Believe it or not, girls aren't really into moisture farmers."

 I smile again. "Well, I think you're neat."
