Chapter 10: Left With a Kiss

Ally and Anya sat in the restaurant, enjoying their breakfast when Ally noticed something. He glanced down at her lightsaber.

"You carry that thing everywhere?" he wiped his mouth.

"Yeah, I'm not really fond of it, but Jedi must always be ready," Anya patted her weapon. Ally hummed and started eating again. Anya looked at him and blinked. He glanced back over at her and looked at her.

"What?" he mumbled through the food in his mouth. He had a little bit of food on his cheek. Not even thinking about it, Anya reached over and wiped it off with her thumb. The moment her hand brushed his face, a shiver went down his spine, "You're hands are cold," Ally swallowed his food and grabbed her hand. His hand was so warm. Their fingers intertwined with each other in order to get Anya's hand warm again.

"Thank you," Anya whispered. Her face was burning. Ally's thumb stroked the top of hers. Anya's pulled away and looked down at her plate.

"What's wrong?" Ally scooted closer to her. Anya glanced up at him.

"It's nothing…" Anya looked back down again.

"There's something" Ally moved his head to see her face. He put his hand on her shoulder, "You can tell me,"

Anya smiled and turned her body and looked at him. Anya started to explain everything she had been feeling about Altaier. She didn't know what emotions she was feeling. All she hoped was Ally felt a little bit of something.

Altair leaned closer to Anya without her noticing. Her head was still facing the floor, so she didn't notice anything that he was doing. Anya turned her body again and somehow her lightsaber worked its way off of her belt and hit the floor. She gasped and jumped. Her eyes were closed and it was the perfect opportunity. Altair grabbed the side of her face and they touched. Anya's eyes opened quickly and looked at him for a second before closing them again. Anya's fingers ran through his shaggy brown hair.

They broke away from each other and sat in silence. Ally started to chuckle and he itched the back of his head. Anya wiped her bottom lip and finally looked at him.

"That was my first kiss," Anya reached for her lightsaber.

"Really?" Ally watched her move, "I hate to say it but, mine too," Anya and Ally made eye contact again. They've only known each other not even a full day. Altair had never kissed a girl before. He was only thirteen.

Anya's com started to beep, "Skywalker here,"

'Anya Skywalker! Why haven't you contacted me?" Ame's voice shrieked out of the tiny speaker.

"Oh damn…" Anya smacked her forehead, "I'm sorry, I must have forgot…"

"It's ok. When you get back, I have to talk to you!"

"Alright! Skywalker out," Anya clicked off her com. She looked at Altaier and smiled. She left enough credits for the both of them and started for the door. Ally ran after her.

"Where are you going?" he grabbed her arm.

"I'm sorry Ally. But I have to get back to the senate building. My brother is probably wondering where I am," she turned around again. He jerked her arm.

"Will I ever see you again?"

"I hope so," she brushed his cheek with her hand. Ally pecked her lips before letting her go. Anya ran back to the building to meet up with her brother. Ally stood in front of the restaurant watching her as she faded in the distance. He looked at the ground and walked home.

Anya walked in the doors to Anakin meditating. His lightsaber was in pieces and floating around him. She stood with the door open and she watched him. She grew impatient. She slammed the door and Anakin, who was also floating cross legged, fell to the ground. Luckily his lightsaber zapped back together before his hit the ground. Anya chuckled and walked beside him. He grabbed her ankle, making her fall to ground also.

"Ha! Doesn't feel good does it?" Anakin stood up and fixed his over skin.

"I didn't do anything! All I did was shut the door!" she picked up her lightsaber.

"Which broke my concentration!"

"Stay focused better!" Anya and Anakin were having the usual sibling squabble. After about five minutes of screaming at each other, Anakin shushed her.

"Don't tell me to shh! I just…"

"Anya! Just shut up! You're giving me a headache!"

"Well you are my headache!" Anya stormed off into the room she'd been sleeping in.

"Pack you things sister! We have to get back to Corusaunt!" Anya's face became hard. What about Ally? How could she just leave him?

"Alright! I'll be done in just a sec!" Anya rummaged through her things trying to find a holomessager. She finally found it and started to record a message for Altaier.

"Hello my dear Ally. I'm sorry, but I must leave Koradan. My brother and I need to be back on Corusaunt in a few hours. I'm so sorry that we must part. Hopefully, during my shore leave, I'll come find you…" Anya bowed. A tear dropped and hit the floor. The dust on the floor puffed when the tear hit. The recording ended. She gave the message to a droid, "Please deliver this holomessage to Altaier Sitary please,"

"Roger roger," the droid wheeled out of the room and delivered the message.

"Come on Anya! We have to go," Anakin shouted from the other room.

"Coming!" Anya grabbed her things and darted to Anakin. Anakin slung his bag over his shoulder and nodded at her. Anya did the same. Anakin walked out and Anya stopped at the door way. She turned and looked at the room one last time before leaving.

Anakin and Anya walked to a station and boarded a bus. It traveled to the ship that Anakin and Anya had to get on. Before the bus stopped Anya looked out of the window. She saw Ally meeting up with a droid. She saw the droid hand him the holomessager. Anya couldn't stand to look at him anymore. She sat back in her seat and struggled not to cry. But her mind was exploding with emotions. And she knew Anakin and probably a few others could sense her. Anakin's head moved as if trying to pop his neck. The force shifted and he looked over at Anya. Just as she thought, Anakin felt whatever she was feeling.

Great.

Anya looked at Anakin and just stared at him. "What?"

"What's wrong?"

Anya just looked at him again. "I can sense that you're upset about something,"

"It's nothing Ani,"

"You're not a good liar," Anakin got up and sat beside her, "C'mon sis, what's wrong,"

"Ani, I said it was nothing," Anya looked back at the floor,"

"Only if you say so," Anakin had his blue eyes plastered at his sister, "But if you need to talk, your big brother is right here," Anakin wrapped his arm around her. Anya managed to put a smirk on her face.

"Thanks Ani," Anya hugged her brother and again looked out of the window. There was the Twilight. The ship that Anakin stole from the planet Teth. Anya wasn't sure if she was going to be able to see ally again. Even on shore leave.
