I'm back from a month-long vacation! And here it is!

Ahsoka's POV:

Our moment was interrupted by a voice yelling from downstairs:

"Lux!"

He looked in the direction where the voice was coming from and sighed, as if dissapointed.

"Yeah, Mom?"

"Is Ahsoka with you?"

"Yeah, we're in the studio!"

"Well, come down! Dinner's ready!"

As soon as she uttered those words, Lux was off in a full sprint.

Lux's POV:

FOOOOOODDDDD!

Ahsoka's POV:

Well, I guess boys will be boys.

I took off running after him. I was pretty hungry myself. We got to the dining room in about 15 seconds flat panting like dogs and drooling like we hadn't been fed in years. Padme laughed.

"Mina, do you ever feed that kid? Just look at him!"

I glanced over at Lux at her comment, and I realized what she meant. It didn't look like the guy shouldn't be breathing, let alone standing.

"Well, he's having a growthspurt," Mina responded, equally amused, "But you look just as hungry, my dear."

When I realized she was addressing me, I smiled. "Well, I am, but I can assure you it's not a growthspurt. My growth's been stunted."

Lux managed to catch his breath and become somewhat civil. "From what, acrobatics?"

I nodded. "Yep. I haven't grown in 4 years."

"Wow," he breifly replied.

"Well, let's not keep them waiting any longer, Cada," Mina said, turning to one of her handsmaids. The woman nodded in response and signalled the food to come out. The doors opened and people flooded in. Servants began to place the main dishes on the table. I was surprised to find out how many of them there were, servants, I mean.

"Oh my goodness," I whispered to Lux.

"Yea, sorry about that. I've been telling my mom to cut down on the kitchen staff but..."

"Wait," I interrupted, "That's just your kitchen staff? How many...?"

"...Don't ask," he mumbled, "Honestly, it's ridiculous. Rest assured that you will be very comfortable here."

I smiled at him sympathetically even though I was rejoicing on the inside.

Okay, I have a week with a hansome and sweet boy and his countless servants and endless wealth. My master might have to get a new Padawan...

Lux's POV:

I have absolutely no recollection of anything that happened between the moment my mother uttered the word "dinner" and the moment I saw food on the table. I hope I didn't miss anything important.

"Oh my goodness."

I broke from my crazed trance and turned to Ahsoka. I immediately grew embarrassed. I didn't exactly like telling anybody I was rich, let alone showing it. I guess she wouldv'e already gotten the hint just by looking at the dining room, but still, the servants were uneeded emphasis.

"Yea, sorry about that," I said, "I've been telling my mom to cut down on the kitchen staff but..."

"Wait. That's just your kitchen staff?"

I winced. Kriff, why did I just mention that?

She continued. "How many..."

"Don't ask," I cut in, "Honestly, it's ridiculous. Rest assured you will be very comfortable here."

It was true. I lived like royalty and I hated it. Sometimes you just want to be a normal teen. I was glad that Ahsoka could relate to me on that. But bonding would have to wait, 'cause when there's food in this space, all else's second place. Of course I didn't really believe that, but hey, you get the picture.

That's when I saw an opportunity to impress Ahsoka. I walked calmly over to a chair as if I had eaten already. My mother's eyes got wider and Ahsoka just gave me a confused look. I guess everyone expected me to sprint like a ravaged beast, but after the initial shock wore off, they all followed my lead. As Ahsoka walked by though, I pulled out a chair for her. She was slightly taken aback, but smiled and rolled her eyes. I smiled back.

She's so kind and beautiful, yet so feisty at the same time. Spicy like...hey, is that hot sauce?

The moment was soon lost when I saw food again. I ate neatly, but quickly. I glanced over at Ahsoka only to discover she was eating quicker than I was. I picked up my pace. She did the same. Before you know it, we were racing to scarf as much as we could while still looking like well mannered individuals. I could tell that my mother and Padme were entertained by this. Well, my mother had found me either entertaining or horrifying, but being her teenage son, I didn't really care what she thought in this situation since she always percieved me to be one of the two anyways.

I finally gave out, only a little bit after Ahsoka did. All that was left was a bowl of potato salad. We glanced at each other, and in that moment, we knew we were both thinking the same thing.

Ahsoka's POV:

I have fought through dozens of my men to get a bite to eat in the mess hall. I was not going to let this punk beat me. I found the strength to reach out for it. He did the same.

"Give it up, Bonteri," I muttered.

"It's going to take a lot more than that, Jedi."

We pulled the bowl closer and glared deep into each other's eyes. The game was about to begin before...

"I thought you hated potato salad, Lux."

He looked over to his mom. "Irrelevant."

"Um, no it isn't."

I smiled at him, though in the inside, I was not willing to confess that I hated potato salad myself. Unfortunately, he must have seen it in my eyes.

"You're right," he said with a mischevious grin on his face, "Ahsoka, it's all yours. "

He pushed the bowl closer to me and I stared at it.

"Great," I announced.

He just kept on smiling, waiting for me to take a bite. I reached for the spoon and lifted it to my mouth. But I couldn't.

"Okay, fine, you win, I don't like potato salad either."

"Let's just call it a draw," he said.

"Fine."

We talked at the table for quite a while after that. Lux talked about some of his friends and his school. It was all very interesting to me, since it was never really something I got to experience. I talked a little about my Jedi life, but neither of us really got to talk much. We were mainly listening to our elders discussing political matters. But trust me, I definitely couldn't wait to find out more about this Lux Bonteri, and I hope he felt the same about me.

Lux's POV:

So did I like Ahsoka? Let's just put it this way; when a hot girl you shouldn't even be seeing steps onto your property yet turns out to be extremely nice and mysterious at the same time, it's expected that many things go through a man's head. But that wasn't the case with me. I had only three thoughts.

1. Jedi are hot.

2. What a great girl.

3. This might possibly become the best week of my life.

Sorry about the wait, but I was in another country. I'm glad to be back though. Thanks for reading and please review!
