Author's Note: I'm sorry for not updating in such a long time, but I'm in the car so I had time to write. This chapter may be a little short as I'm just trying to get back into the story and get it back on track since I haven't written anything on to for a long time. Hope you like this new chapter.

3rd Person POV

The Coronet touched down on Coruscant just on time. Ahsoka waited at the loading dock for her master as well as a chance to get a head start on their bet. She had already planned out what she was going to do, her plan was to become close with Satine, something she hoped wasn't going to be too hard, then find out if the older woman really did have feelings for Obi-wan and how deep those feelings went and then see from there what she would do. The hatch opened slowly with a slight hiss as the ramp descended allowing Ahsoka to catch her first look at the woman Obi-wan loved, Satine Kyrze, the Duchess of Mandalore, at first Ahsoka didn't know what to think, the duchess was beautiful, more beautiful than any Holo image she could find of the woman, she had sharp regal features that would have looked out of place if they were on anyone else, she wore a traditional dress that accentuated her figure and to top it off an elaborate head piece that must have weighed a ton. It wasn't these things that interested the young padawan through, it was the air of confidence that surrounded the woman, and she knew that the Duchess and her system were neutral in the war, something that had caused a lot of trouble for the woman.

"Master, Obi-wan it is good to see you back safely," Ahsoka said bowing lightly to the two Jedi. "You must be the Duchess, it is a pleasure to meet you, I have heard such amazing things about you" she continued speaking to the older woman and small friendly smile playing on her lips. She had to make a good first impression if her plan was to work.

"Yes Ahsoka, I would like you meet the Duchess Satine Kyrze of Mandalore, she is here on the request of the Senate," Obi-wan said, motioning to the woman next to him, was it just Ahsoka or did he look at the duchess a little funny, not in a 'I hate you' or 'don't tell them about that time' funny, no, he gave her a 'I love this woman so much, but I can't show it but I still want to kiss her' look. Interesting. Maybe this bet was going to be easier than she thought. Ahsoka bowed again to the Duchess giving her another kind smile. "Satine, this is Ahsoka Tano, Jedi padawan under Anakin," he continued motioning to the young Tugrutian.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Padawan Tano, I have also heard great things about you and your master," if the duchess wasn't perfect then at least her voice was, it was deep and held an air of confidence and strength that Ahsoka had never heard before. The two females shook hands lightly, oh yeah, this bet and those ration bars were going to be hers. Anakin better watch out.
