Chapter 3—Interesting Positions

The drinks came, cloudy orange for Ace, icy clear for Lyndsay, sizzling red for Niles and a glowing blue for Kasia. They all sat somewhat uncomfortably around each other and drank in silence, and even the waitress managed to notice, asking them if something was wrong. This sparked Kasia's worry, because even she could see that they weren't acting normal among the…others.

She nudged Ace with her elbow, getting him to look up from his dazed stare at the table. "Come dance with me," she said, slightly yelling over the music. He looked at her, a look of mortified shock running quickly over his face. "I'm not that bad," she said, misinterpreting his expression.

"I don't know how to," he said quickly, flushing.

"Ace, you're one of the brightest people in the galaxy, just like the rest of us. You have more skills than the people dancing out there, and I'm sure you can manage." She grabbed his arm and hefted him up and away from the table, saying, "Come on, be brave about this. It's no worse than some of the other stuff you've done."

Goodness, was she wrong. Ace looked around, bewildered, and tried to analize the peoples movements from around him. It didn't seem hard, it was just that every one was close, very close.

Kasia got near him and began to dance, and why was she not bad at this? For a quick moment, Ace felt the old, passionate rivalry that had danced secretly between him and her for years, the weight on him to beat her in the Jedi ways taking its edge again. He, with this sudden new prospect of thinking of going about it this way, began to dance, unsteady at first, but it seemed that the males around him didn't have to do too much.

A few minutes passed and he felt a tap on his shoulder. Niles, with Lyndsay in trail, asked if he could switch partners for a little while. Ace agreed, and soon he and Lyndsay were dancing, he unsurely, her with just slightly less confidence than Kasia. Ace watched Kasia and Niles dance; they were laughing with enjoyment as Niles flipped her around and tossed her up, only to catch her again. They began to get more comfortable and blend in with the crowd, Ace could see, and soon others were asking to dance with either one of them. Both accepted, and somehow, a few minutes later, Kasia managed to wind up right in front of Ace again, Lyndsay melting off into the crowed with Kasia's last dance partner.

"Will you dance with me now?" she asked, not even bothering to wait for an answer. She grabbed his hanging hands and placed them on her hips before wrapping her arms loosely around his neck. His mind reeled inwardly. This couldn't be right. There had to be someone to stop them somewhere. He looked around the room, half-excpecting to see a member of the Council there waiting to tell them off for such public behavior. No one was there though, so he suffered inwardly with his thoughts, part of him not suffering at all.

As the music grew faster and louder, pounding, the dancing became faster, until Ace was sure that his head would explode with all the thoughts he was thinking. He tried to be a good Jedi and keep his eyes off Kasia, he really did, but they seemed to have a mind of their own and managed to wind up locked on her.

After what seemed hours of agonizing bliss, Kasia finally looked up. "Are you tired?" she asked. He nodded. "Good, I am too. Let's go back and get something to drink. It must be near time enough for the princess…"

They went back to the table and sat, Niles, and then finally Lyndsay joining them. Few minutes passed, some giggles leaking from the high of excitement from dancing.

A person in red and black caught sight of them and walked over, tapping Niles on the shoulder. He leaned down and whispered to Niles, who nodded, looking at the others in his group. The man straightened and Niles whispered, "He is a guard of the princess. She waits outside with another guard. He says we should come."

Lyndsay nodded, Kasia looked solemn, and Ace for a slight second, doubted this guard for a second, something seeming slightly odd. He blew it off, for the man gave no immediate sense of danger.

"I wish I had Little Blue," Kasia said aloud to Ace and Lyndsay, who nodded. (Niles was leading the way with the guard in front). Little Blue was, no matter how foolish it seemed, the name for Kasia's light saber. It was smaller than any other built, specifically designed for her and used for easy concealment.

Stepping outside to the cool, city-polluted night air, they all caught sight of another red and black clothed guard, and a slender, medium height girl beside him. She had dark brown hair and brown eyes, and when she saw them, she cried. "You are here, and you will help me find my sister. I thank you!" Tears stung her voice and she had a strange accent, which slightly clipped the ends off of all her words.

"We would be more than happy to help," Lyndsay said, reaching out a hand and patting the girl on the shoulder. The girl smiled back through tears.

"We should take her back to the hotel. Being out here can't be safe, even with the rest of us around," Ace said, looking around.

The princess nodded. "I think that is a good idea. And there is no problem with Jasul and Elen coming with us?"

Ace shook his head. They all were ushered into the car. There was still a twinge of doubt lying somewhere, but again he set it aside. All crammed inside the speeder, Kasia had to half sit on his lap, apathetic. She seemed to be sharing his thoughts of the others, and again he sensed her longing for Little Blue.

Ok, there goes chapter 3…Please review, or, if you feel like it, email me! I could always use suggestions for…I dunno, something!
