Hey everybody im back! sorry this took so long but school. Okay so if you are new this is the second part of my story "the truth may vary" but if you havent read that one that's okay im going to write it to it builds off the last story but you can still understand and enjoy it if you havent read it. also ten point to the first person who can find which of monsters and men song this story is named after! But most of all THANK YOU FOR READING! (btw I don't own star wars)
"I know this isn't Ideal Lux, but this would go much faster if you'd just picked one" Padme said.
I should probably explain why i was talking to Padme long story short after my mom died her will said she wanted Padme to take care of me. So I have been living with Padme who's now my godmother for a while now.
"i don't want to" i said reaching for pillow and putting it over my face. As if by covering my face would magically make her go away.
We were in my bedroom at the palace on Naboo.I was laying on my bed and being the average annoying teenager toward Padme.(Hence the pillow over the face actions) which made me feel sort of guilty given all Padme had done for me. But we were fighting about the same thing we have been fighting for the past few weeks. All the politicians in the senate are gossips and according to Padme one of the things they Gossip about is me. (Which i found surprising considering the fact I'm not gossip worthy). But Padme says the fact that I'll be of marrying age in a year and have never even once been seen with a possible suitor was quite a rumor mill. So Padme orchestrated a plan for me to pick a possible suitor and be seen with her every now and then to get the rumors to stop.
"Lux this isn't that hard you don't even have to love her just be seen with her"
"I don't get it" i said taking the pillow off my face. "Why do i even need to pick one if I'm not going to marry her"
"Because if you're seen with a possible suitor for a few times the rumors will stop. The politicians will find something else to gossip about. And they will stop bugging me and trying to pry information out of me."
i didn't say anything. What Padme was saying made sense i didn't want nosy politicians gossiping about me. and it wouldn't of been that bad to just pick a girl from Padme list and be seen with her a few times. but still i didn't want to. all the girls who could be possible suitors were stuck up.
"I don't like any of the girls Padme." i said "none of them have it"
"And by it you mean Ahsoka"
i didn't want to say it but she was right. it has been four months since i have seen Ahsoka it was fall now on Naboo.
"I still love her"
Padme sighed "i know you do"
"I don't want her to think-"
"You don't want her to think that you moved on" she said cutting me off.
"That and none of those girls can compare to Ahsoka so how am i supposed to even fake like them." i got up and walked out onto the balcony Padme followed.
"Lux i understand what you're going through" she said fiddling with her necklace that had a carved charm on it.
"How? How can you possibly understand it!" i snapped back, like i said before i was being a pretty annoying teenager.
"Listen Lux do you trust me?"
"Yes" i mumbled
"Then you're going to have trust me when i tell you that i was...i am ,in basically the same position you are in. I can't tell you more than that but please believe me when i say i understand how stressful it is." she said
"It involves the one who gave you that necklace isn't it" i said back
A shocked look came over her face "how did you -"
"You always fiddle with that necklace whenever you talk about things like this"
"You're smart Lux, and you're right but that's all i can tell you"
"Is he good to you?"
"He's the best"
"Good, because if he wasn't i would feel obligated to do something about it"
Padme let out a laugh "there's no way you can take him in a fight" she said.
I smiled back then looked out to the sky in the direction to where Coruscant would be.
Where she would be.
"How do you get through it, your relationship I mean?"
"One day at a time I have learned to be great fully for every time I get to see him"
"Why is it so hard?"
Padme looked right at me and said something I will never forget
"It's hard because it means something"
I looked back at Coruscant thinking of Ahsoka and wondering, maybe even hoping, she was thinking of me.
It's so good to be back in the swing of things =) i hope you like it if your new and i hope it lives up to my last story. so i normally ask questions in the AN and this is no exception! tell me what your ideas on the Lux Ashoka sub plot earlier this season!
till next time
