Obi-Wan's POV

I just recently woke up from the most pleasant dream. About Satine and me. It was simply perfect. I went to the refresher and when I came back, there was a note on my bed. It was from Ahsoka.

Dear Master Kenobi,

I'm sorry for hitting you in the head earlier. It was just my hormones getting ahead of me. You may not think it's a big deal, but I do. I want to make it up to you. Come to the mess hall in an hour.

Ahsoka

Ahsoka must feel really bad about that. It really wasn't a big deal. It's not like she tried to kill me or anything. I wonder what she plans on doing. I guess I'll find out in an hour.

Satine's POV

Another perfect dream about Obi-Wan. Part of me is tired of these dreams because I want them to come true, but another part of me is happy to have them because they help me sleep pleasantly. I went to the refresher to freshen up and when I came back, there was a note on my desk. It was from Anakin.

Duchess Satine,

I know you still have mixed emotions about Obi-Wan's feelings for you. I have the perfect way to show you how he really feels. Meet me in the mess hall in an hour.

Anakin

This is percular. I wonder what he has in mind. I guess only time will tell.

An Hour Later

Obi-Wan's POV

It's been an hour. Time to go meet Ahsoka in the mess hall. I left my quarters and headed there. I bumped into Satine on the way.

"Hello, Obi."

"Hello, Satine. Where are you heading?"

"I'm suppose to be meeting Anakin in the mess hall. What about you?"

"I'm suppose to be meeting Ahsoka in the mess hall."

"Interesting."

"I'm sensing a trap here."

"I'm sensing denial here. Maybe it's just a coindence."

"I doubt it. This is Anakin and Ahsoka we're talking about."

"Maybe they didn't know about each other's plans." We walked into the mess hall. The lights were dimmed down and all the tables were pushed aside. There was a small one in the middle that was set with a white table cloth, a lit candle, a vase with a single red rose, and two chairs. I knew those two were up to something. Anakin and Ahsoka came from different sides of the mess hall.

"Hello, you two."

"Anakin, Ahsoka, what are you up to?"

"Nothing. We just want you two to spend some time together. As long term friends."

"But was all this necessary?"

"It was Ahsoka's idea. I think it's fine. It's just a simple dinner between friends."

"Come on, guys. We worked really hard on this."

"It looks really nice, Obi. We can at least enjoy this dinner." Aw, what the heck.

"Alright." Anakin and Ahsoka smiled at each other. They pulled out our chairs and went sat down.

"This is very classy. Where did you two get all of this?" They looked at each other. Anakin answered.

"That's not important."

"It's only important that you two enjoy it and reconnect with each other." Anakin picked up the glass of champagne and poured it into our glasses. "We'll be right back with your dinner."

They went into the back.

"They went through this trouble to get us together."

"I think it was sweet. They're only being nice."

"I agree. I'm not completely against this. It is nice to spend some time alone with you."

"It's also nice to spend time with you." I will have to thank Anakin and Ahsoka for this later. They came back holding plates that were covered. I wonder what they plan on serving us.

"Tonight's special is roasted nuna with breadsticks and salad. Enjoy." They placed the food before us and went in the back.

"This looks appetizing. I wonder who cooked."

"Most likey Ahsoka. She's an excellent cook."

"Is she?"

"Oh, yes. She's also a great baker. She made me a cake for my birthday last year."

"Well, I hope it's as good as it looks." We both took a bite of our food. "This is delicious."

"Didn't I tell you she was a great cook?"

"Yes and you were right. I will have to complement her later." We were quiet for a moment. Neither of us said anything. "So, Obi, how have you been as a Jedi?"

"I've been fine. Annoyed by Anakin and Ahsoka, but I've been fine."

"You know they're still in here."

"Yes, I do. I can sense them. They know how I feel about them."

"And they're okay with it?"

"They like to have me annoyed. They find it amusing."

"They've known you for a while. They know what makes you tick and annoy you to see your reaction. They're just testing you, Obi."

"Yes, but they do it too often."

"Don't worry. As they get older, they'll grow more mature and eventually stop teasing you."

"Ahsoka, I'm sure of. Anakin, I'm afraid he'll never mature."

"I'm sure he will in time."

"I really hope so. So, how about you? How are you doing?"

"Being a duchess isn't exactly a walk in the park, but I get by. Death Watch hasn't been much of a dilemma latey, so I've been safer."

"That's good to hear. Knowing you're safe really calms me."

"Does it, now?"

"I like to know that you're safe and secure. I don't want you to get hurt or killed. It's unbearable."

"It's nice to know you care about me so much."

"I like having you around. You're important to me."

"You're important to me too, Obi." Our eyes locked for a moment. This is the first time we've actually connected without words. I felt happy with her. I've always felt happy when it came to her. Why can't I say these thoughts?

"Are you two finished eating?" It was Ahsoka's voice. Our trance broke and we looked to her.

"Oh, yes." She took our plates and went in the back. Anakin came out with two plates with cake on them.

"For desert, chocolate cake, complements of Ahsoka. Enjoy." He went in the back.

"Well, you did say Ahsoka makes good cake."

"That she does." We both bit into our cakes.

"Oh my goss. Ahsoka is a master at cooking." We both laughed. She was so cute. I love this woman. I just can't tell her. Why not? We finished our cakes and left. I walked Satine back to her room. "That was a wonderful dinner. It's nice Anakin and Ahsoka put that together for us."

"It was. We will have to thank them for it. I really enjoyed spending time with you."

"As I with you." We approached her quarters.

"Well, here's your room. Goodnight, Satine."

"Goodnight, Obi." She kissed my cheek and went inside her room. I just stood there, unable to move. She just kissed me. Does she feel this strongly about me? When I was able to move, I went back to my quarters and got ready to go to sleep. I laid in my bed, thinking about tonight. It was simply perfect for me. I slowly closed my eyes and fell asleep.

A perfect date. Wasn't that cute? Part one of Anakin's plan is complete. Watch out for part two. R&R.
