Hey Guys! This story is slowly coming to a close! I'm doing my best to complete it as soon as possible! I've been really busy again here lately. I start school at 5 and finish at about 10 and then I go work for how ever many hours because I finally got another job, and I was asked to preach another youth service sunday August 17th, so I was staying focused on that; but I ask that you please just bear with me! We'll finish this story eventually!

Chapter 7:


"Lux?"

"Ahsoka! What are you talking about? It's me, Anakin, your master."

Ahsoka blushed heavily. She had been so deep in thought that she had not been paying attention to her surroundings.

"Sorry, Master."

Anakin smiled down at his nervous padawan sympathetically.

"It's good to see you again, Ani." Padme said as she smiled up at the taller Jedi.

"It's good to see you too, Senator." He returned the smile,"There's been quite a good turn out. I'd say your ball has been a success."

"That's great! Have you seen anyone you know yet?"

"Yes. I have seen a couple of familiar faces." He said as he shot his padawan a wink.

Ahsoka looked up at him wide eyed. She could tell by that sneaky, little look on his face who he had seen.

Anakin remembered the girl that had been with Mr. Bonteri and hoped that a polite comment might making things better for his young padawan.

"You two look beautiful! Especially you, Ahsoka." Anakin smiled at her.

Ahsoka blushed heavily,"I don't know.."

"Well I do. Those young boys in there will all be turning and saying,'Who in the universe is this pretty little Togruta who just walked in!?'" Anakin smirked.

"Stop it!" Ahsoka laughed as she lightly punched her master's shoulder.

"He's right, Ahsoka. You'll be the talk of the party! Just make sure not to kill anyone, they mean you no harm by saying you look gorgeous or beautiful." Padme laughed.

"Geez, Padme, you make me sound so charming." Ahsoka chuckled.

"You two have fun while I stand out here managing security." He grumbled.

"We will!"

The two girls walked into the main ball room. Ahsoka was blown away! The decorations were absolutely beautiful! All the lights shining in every direction, the glass chandelier hanging perfectly in the middle of the room, the long table covered in food! Oh yes. This was going to be a lot better than she had expected.

"Senator Padme, Ahsoka; It's so good to see you two again!" A familiar voice rang out.

"Senator Chuchi! I'm so glad you could make it!" Padme said giving the young Pantoran a soft hug.

"As am I," She said before noticing Ahsoka's appearance," My, my, Ahsoka! You look Amazing! That dress suits you perfectly!"

Ahsoka's Lekku darkened lightly,"Thanks. Padme picked it out."

"Well she did an outstanding job," Chuchi said with a smile,"And she did an equally as good job with the party arrangements."

"It was no big deal really." Padme chuckled.

"If you say so," Chuchi laughed,"It was nice chatting with you both, but there are still many faces to see. Good bye!"

The three waved their good bye's and that was that.


2 hours later.

Ahsoka stood quietly as Padme spoke with some of her politician friends.

"There are a lot of people here! It looks like all the republic senators were able to make it! well… all except Lux. Anakin must have been pulling my leg. It's been 2 hours. Surely I would have seen him by now. I guess he couldn't make it after all." Ahsoka thought to herself.

"Padme, I'm going to go get a drink."

"Ok. But stay away from the wine. You are still under age." Padme laughed.

"Ah Shucks!" Ahsoka said as she snapped in sarcastic disappointment.

She walked quietly and alone. She would visit her master, but he was busy working security; And honestly, she wished she was doing the same, but instead she was wearing an expensive dress all for some stupid boy who didn't care about her who evidently hadn't even bothered to show up. Some night she was having.

Lux and Elaina were chatting with some of Lux's new senator friends. Even through all the conversations only one thing was on his mind. Ahsoka. Was she here? Her master was. Why wouldn't she be? His anxiety was causing him to become dizzy and lightheaded.

"If you'll excuse me, Elaina, I'm going to get a drink." Lux said before heading off in the concessions direction.

"What's the point.. maybe I should tell Padme I'm going to go back to her apartment." Ahsoka thought. She hated this feeling. It made her feel weak. But there was no stopping it. She was a teenage girl! Jedi or not she would experience these feelings.

Lux pushed through the crowd making his way to the drink and snack table. He could only see the end of the table. There were too many people blocking him from getting a full view of the concessions arrangement.

"I'm just going to go.." Ahsoka finally decided as she held her cup tightly as she turned to leave.

She was stopped when she ran into something big and heavy that had been traveling in the opposite direction as her. She and who ever she had ran into fell to the ground. Ahsoka wasn't sure who or what she had ran into, but in the midst of realizing what was about to happen, the figure had moved themselves under her as to keep her from embracing the force and pain of the fall.

Ahsoka's Lekku were so dark they could be mistaken for purple. Her punch she had been drinking was not only spilt all over her new dress, but was on this mans clothes as well.

"Oh my goodness! I'm so-" She lost her words when she saw who she was laying on top of.

Lux and Ahsoka stared into each others wide and confused eyes.

"Ahsoka?" Lux asked.

"Lux!" Ahsoka said in shock as she quickly got off of him,"I'm so sorry!"

"It's not problem," He said as he stood to his feet,"Are you ok?"

"Yes. Yes, I'm fine."

"I'm sorry I ran into you. I wasn't really paying attention to my surroundings." He said as he placed a hand on the back of his head.

"It's no problem. Really."

Padme had made her way to the scene when she heard all the commotion. The crowd had now gone back to their conversations after seeing that the two were ok. Padme, however, was still watching silently in the distance smiling to herself.

"I just hope your suit doesn't stain."

"It's no big deal. It's your dress i'm worried about."

"Yeah.. Speaking of which, we should probably go find some towels." Ahsoka laughed as she looked at her wet dress.

"You're right. Let me inform Elaina first so she knows where I am."

Ahsoka's heart dropped. Elaina? Who was that!

"Elaina?"

"Yes. She was in for the week when Padme contacted me about the Ball."

Ahsoka felt defeated. Just as things were beginning to brighten up they curled up and died in a black hole again.

"Ok." She said duly.

The two pushed through the crowd until Elaina came into view.

"Uh.. Elaain?" Lux tapped her shoulder from behind.

Elaina spun around and was surprised to see that Lux was with someone.

"Elaina, this is Ahsoka Tano. Ahsoka, this is Elaina, my cousin."

Ahsoka's eyes widened.

"Cousin?" She said almost over excitedly.

"Yes! What were you expecting!" Lux laughed.

"Ah! So this is the Ahsoka you were talking about? I've heard a lot of good things about you," Elaina smiled,"Lux was right! You are quite a beautiful creature."

Lux and Ahsoka both blushed heavily.

"I just came to tell you that we are going to find some towels. We had a little incident with the punch as you can see."

"Ok. Don't be gone too long." Elaina winked at the two.

Lux blushed and the two set off again. By now their clothes had dried most of the way. Once they had found the towels, they wrapped themselves up and made their way to the balcony.

They stood silently. Ahsoka leaned down and propped herself against the railing. She was beautiful. Lux's heart was beating at what felt like a million miles an hour. Her eyes were like sapphire globes. Her skin was orange like the sunset skies on Tatooine but was as soft as a newborn.

"I've really missed you, Ahsoka."

Ahsoka felt butterflies enter her stomach. She was flattered! She smiled mischievously when she was inspired with an idea.

"Why's that?"

Lux was taken a back by her question, but he quickly realized what she was doing and decided to go along with it.

"Because you are my best friend."

Ahsoka lost every ounce of mischief when he said this. She was his best friend? But he was a senator! Surely he had lots of friends! Let alone all of his companions he had made during the Onderron rebellion.

"Why? I'm nothing special."

"Ahsoka. You have done so much for me! You've saved my life countless amount of times, you were there for me during my mothers death, you stood by me and had faith in my abilities even when I made stupid decisions and when I had no faith in myself. Truth is…" He paused as he put his hand behind his head,"I think you are the most amazing, beautiful, strong, and most passionate person I know!"

"You think I'm beautiful?"

The two were frozen solid. All they could do was stare into each others eyes. With out realizing what they were doing, they slowly began to inch closer.

"Yes, Ahsoka. I do. I think you are the most beautiful girl in this galaxy." He whispered.

And with that their lips touched and their first kiss had been born. Lux moved his hand to Ahsoka's face as he caressed her cheek while Ahsoka placed both hands on Lux's chest. Fire works rang out behind them in celebration of Naboo's freedom. The loud pop and pow's did not disturb the pare though. They were too lost in each other to care what went on in the background.

They kissed for what felt like eternity.

When they finally broke for air Ahsoka decided to speak first.

"I think you are amazing too, Lux."

Lux wrapped his arms around the small Togruta and the two watched the remainder of the fire work show enjoying each others company.
