UH SO IDK WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU GET INJURED LIKE THIS SO LET'S JUST PRETEND THIS IS ALL GOOD AND CANON OKAY?

i do not! :: penny

The walls are moving. They're moving. They're moving in. Holy shit, they're going to crush us.

 This is it. This is how I die.

 Fuck.

 After I finally snap back out of my panic, I find Leia and Han unsuccessfully holding up large metal rods in an attempt to stop the walls from crushing us to dust, and Luke yelling into comlink from C3PO.

 I don't really know what to do, so I start to panic again, this time, closer to Luke.

 The room just keeps getting smaller, we're not going to make it out of here. Whatever pulled Luke down is gonna use us to write letters to its family. 

 Everyone's yelling, the walls are closing in, and I feel like I'm going to pass out. Han, Leia, and Chewie are trying to get to the top of the trash, but Luke and I have given up. Almost sinking into the piles while he screams and pleads for his droids. At some point through all of this our arms found their way around one another, and now we sit here, holding each other, close to death, when suddenly,

 "Are you there, sir?"

 Luke and I stand up straight, pushing away from each other.

 "3PO!" He grins.

 "We've had some problems-"

 "Will you shut up and listen to me? Shut down all the garbage mashers on the detention level, will you? Do you copy?" No response. "Shut down all the garbage mashers on the detention level." Still nothing. He repeats it again, and a few moments later the walls stop.

 Holy shit, we're saved.

 Luke wraps his arms around me, squeezing me tight. "3PO, we're all right! We're all right, you did great!" He hugs me for a few more moments before rushing to see where we are. "Hey...hey, open the pressure matinence hatch on unit number...where are we?"

 "326827," Han answers into the comlink.

 And then Luke's hugging me again. A few hours ago I wanted him out of my sight, and now I'm hugging him in a trash compactor with butterflies in my stomach.

 Great.

"There she is," Han says, beaming at the Falcon.

 "A beauty," I add.

 "C3PO, do you copy?" Luke asks into the comlink.

 "For the moment," a voice answers. "Uh, we're in the main hangar across from the ship."

 "We're right above you, stand by."

 Han and I watch as a dozen Stormtroopers move in and out of the ship.

 "You came in that thing?" Leia asks, "You're braver than I thought."

 Han shoots her a dirty look and we round the corner, only to be faced with twenty or more Stormtroopers heading towards us.

 "It's them!" One of them says. "Blast them!"

 Han charges them with his blaster, firing while yelling, "Get back to the ship!"

 "Where are you going?" I yell after him. "Come back!"

 "He certainly has courage," Leia scoffs.

 I frown. "Yeah, or a deathwish. I'm going after him."

 "What good will it do if you get yourself killed?" Luke asks. "Come on!"

 I start running in the direction Han went and call back to Luke, "I have to go after him! I'm sorry!"

 He doesn't say anything at first, but when I'm rounding the corner I hear him call, "Please don't die!"

 The adrenalin rushing through me causes everything to blur together. I catch up with Han and Chewie, and after that, it's blasting Stormtroopers, and trying to get to the Falcon. Han doesn't even ask about Luke and Leia until we stop running.

 "You left them?" He asks, and I nod, a little embarrassed by my carelessness. "Maybe I should be the one smacking you in the back of the head!"

 "You wouldn't dare, Solo."

 As if on cue, Luke and Leia run up and join us.

 "Oh, thank god, you're okay," Luke smiles.

 "What kept you?" Han asks the pair.

 "We ran into some old friends," Leia answers.

 Luke turns away from me to Han. "Is the ship alright?"

 "Seems okay if we can get into it. Just hope the old man got the tractor beam out of commission."

 We race towards the ship, and we're almost there, when Luke yells, "Look!"

 We all turn to see Ben and Darth Vader emerging from a hallway on the far side of the docking bay. Leia and Han are closer to the ship, but I had stopped with Luke.

 "Is that...?" I mumble.

  "C'mon!" Han yells to us, "Now's our chance!"

 We begin to run towards the Falcon again but soon realize we're trapped. Luke is still focused on Vader and Ben as the two fight, when suddenly, Vader brings his lightsaber down and cuts Ben in half. I gasp, and Luke lets out a loud, "No!" as Ben's cloak falls down in two pieces. Though he is not in it, he vanished, turned to smoke.

 "Come on!" Han calls for us again.

 "Come on, Luke! It's too late!" Leia calls too. 

 "Penny!" Han yells, "Blast the door!" I do as he says, and the door begins to slide shut, shutting Vader, Ben's cloak, and the other handfuls of Stormtroopers coming towards us out.

 Luke looks around the room as if he heard something when I grab his hand, and the two of us run towards the Falcon. As we run, one of the Stormtroopers shoots at us and grazes my rib, I stumble, trying to keep my balance. Luke and I run into the cockpit where Leia, Han, and Chewie are already waiting for us, and collapse in each others arms for a moment, something I hope will happen while we're not almost dying.

 "I hope the old man got the tractor beam out of commission, or this is gonna be a real short trip," Han grumbles. "Okay, hit it!"

 Luke and Leia help me up out of the cockpit, and into the main holding area.

 "We'll get you all patched up," Leia says, finding blankets for Luke and me. She wraps one around Luke and he says,

 "I can't believe he's gone." Luke shakes his head back and forth, looking down at his hands.

 Leia wraps the second blanket around me and helps me untuck my tank top so she can look at my wound. "There wasn't anything you could've done."

 Han rushes into the room and calls my name. When he sees me laying almost unconscious, he turns to Luke. "Come on, buddy, we're not out of this yet!"

 The two head for the gunports and Leia turns back from them to me.

 "So," she says, still checking me out, "what are your thoughts on Luke?"

 "What?"

 "I mean, what do you think of him?"

 "Leia," I frown as she gets up to find bandages of some sort. "they're fighting off enemy ships so we don't die right now, and you're asking me my opinion on the idiot who hitched a ride with us on Tatooine?"

 "Well, you're very confusing about it all. One second you like you're going to murder him if he blinks one more time, and the next you two are holding each other in your arms."

 "We did almost die multiple times, that has something to do with the holding each other part."

 Leia smirks at me and comes back with bandages. "I think you like him."

 "I do not!" I defend.

 "Okay, whatever you say, Penny. But I think he likes you too."

 I frown. "Oh, you think everyone likes everyone. You don't know what you're talking about, you're a princess, everyone likes you."

 "I can assure you, there are people out there who do not like me. But I've got a very strong feeling that Luke likes you."
