Here's a new story with a couple I'm experimenting with.

There are happy times now in the galaxy. The war is over and the dark lard is dead. Things have gone great in the last year. After the war ended, the Jedi Council got rid of the no attachment/love rule. Since then, everyone has fallen in love and became a couple. Kit Fisto was with Aayla Secura, Obi-Wan Kenobi was with Siri Tachi, Jaleel Coreen was with Ahsoka Tano, even Master Yoda was with Master Yaddle. Everyone was happy with the new change except one person: Mace Windu, one of the most strict Jedi in the Order. He was against amending the rule, but the rest of the Council overpowered him. He claimed that getting rid of the rule would result in losing Jedi to the Dark Side, but that's not the real reason. He really wanted to keep the rule because he couldn't be with the one woman he loved: Adi Galia.

Mace had been in love with Adi since their first days at the temple. He knew he couldn't be with her because of the Code. He soon found out that Adi was a bit of a wild child as a teen. She broke most of the rules and sometimes disobeyed her Master. When he found this out, he figured he would see if she would break one last rule by being with him. When he asked her out on a date, she shot him down harshly. Since that day, he swore off her forever. He still had feelings for her, but he didn't want to risk having his heart broken again. Life for him was never the same.

"Master Windu?" He turned and saw Ahsoka coming up to him. He noticed how much bigger her stomach has gotten since she's been pregnant.

"Hello, Padawan Tano. How are you?" She rubbed her belly.

"I'll live. I was wondering if you knew where Jaleel was."

"Yes. I believe I saw him in the meditation room."

"Okay. I'll talk to him later. I know not to disturb him while he's meditation. Anyway, how are things going with you?"

"Fine. And you?"

"Alright. Master, I've noticed something."

"And what is that?"

"That you're about the only Jedi that isn't in a relationship. I don't mean to be nosy, but I was wondering why that is. Do you not have feelings for someone?"

"I don't believe that's any of your business, young one."

"I know, but I'm curious. I thought you would've been with Master Luminara or Master Galia." Just the mention of her name made his heart jump. Ahsoka noticed and smiled. I knew it. You like Master Galia."

"I most certainly do not. And even if I did, it still wouldn't be any of your business."

"I know, I know. I think you should ask her out. It's not against the Code anymore. You should take advantage of that."

"Thanks for the siggestion, but I am content by myself."

"Master, you can't live out the rest of your life alone. You have to live your life to the fullest. Go on a date, fall in love, get married, have children. Life's too short to be doing nothing with it. There's a love for everyone and your love will always be around for you. If you don't act soon, she'll be with someone who's all wrong for her for the rest of her life and you'll be alone for the rest of your life. Go for what you really want. Don't wait until it's too late."

"Ahsoka!" Jaleel was coming down the hall, waving at her. She waved back and turned to Mace.

"I have to go, but remember what I said. If you really love Master Galia, you have to let her know soon or she'll be gone. She walked over to Jaleel. Mace watched as they hugged and kissed each other. As he watched the, he started to think about what Ahsoka said. He did want a relationship with Adi like Jaleel had with Ahsoka. He saw how happy they were together. He wanted to be that happy with the woman he loves. They both headed back down the hall holding hands. Mace went to other way, back to his quarters.

Short, but they all start out short. There's more to come.
