AN: Here is an idea that popped into my head about what would happen if Ahsoka and Rex were ever made to go to a ball together.
Hope you guys like it!
"NO! There is no way I am going to a ball! Absolutely not!" Ahsoka quickly backed away from her sisters.
Elsie and Kisha glanced at each other with amusement before advancing on their Jedi sister.
"Come on 'Soka! The senator from Pantora, whom we know you know, has invited me to the ball so she can introduce me to other senators and also wants you and Rex to come so people can see that Jedi truly are allowed to have relationships. Anyway, it will be good for people to see you publicly dating and it'll be so cute to see you both dressed up." Elsie implored
"Elsie! You know we both hate these sort of things!" Ahsoka whined
"Come on! We'll have so much fun dressing you and Elsie up! Mom will love it!" Ahsoka's younger sister, Kisha clapped her hands excitedly
Ahsoka groaned and rolled her eyes. "Do I have any choice?"
Elsie shook her head "Nope not really. Senator Chuchi has specifically requested you and Rex attend with me."
Ahsoka groaned again and dropped dramatically onto the couch.
With a groan, Rex flung his com down and ran a hand over his neat buzz cut hair. The door slid open and Commander Cody walked through.
"Trouble with your girl?" Cody's question sounded more like a laugh
Rex glared at his friend "My girl is fine. But we're both being forced to attend a ball tomorrow night. Ahsoka just called to tell me that she's tried but there's no way we can get out of this, it's some sort of personal favor."
This time Cody did laugh "Time to press that dress uniform and polish those boots, Rexster!" And the commander made to leave.
"Oh no you don't Cody. You laugh at my pain so you can help me get ready." Rex ordered as he jumped his friend.
The next morning Ahsoka was woken by her younger sister jumping on the couch and yelling at the top of her lungs.
"AHSOKA! It's time to wake up! We have to go dress shopping! Get up! Get up!"
"Kisha! Leave me alone! Don't you have to help mom pack or something?" Ahsoka moaned and rolled over
"NOPE! Not right now anyway! My job is to get you to get up!" Kisha kept bouncing until her older sister gave up and rolled off the couch and stood up.
"Fine. Let's get this over with quickly." Ahsoka caved and Kisha only laughed
6 hours later and Ahsoka stumbled back into her sister Elsie's apartment and her mother and two sisters followed with the shopping bags.
"Are we done yet? War is easier than shopping with you guys." Ahsoka complained
Marna and Elsie laughed
"Sorry kid. We still have to get dressed and ready." Elsie patted her younger sister on the shoulder
"Come on dear, I want to see you all dressed up and going to your first ball with your sister and boyfriend." Marna encouraged her active and restless middle daughter. "Plus I think you are really going to stun that boyfriend of yours in your new dress."
Ahsoka followed her mother to her sister's room in order to prepare for the dance.
Rex stood in full dress uniform, complete with polished black leather boots and gloves, before Elsie Tano's apartment waiting to pick up his girlfriend for their first public appearance and formal event as a couple. With a deep breath and a rub against his blonde buzz cut, the Captain of the 501st knocked on the apartment door. A few seconds later the patter of feet was heard and the door ripped open by Kisha.
"Hi Captain! Elsie and Ahsoka are almost ready to go, come on in!" And Kisha opened the door further and allowed Rex to walk in.
A few minutes later Elsie glided in dressed in a pale yellow, strapless dress with puffed out shirt and silver jewelry. The two exchanged pleasantries until Ahsoka entered the room. When she waltzed into the room, Rex sucked in a breath involuntarily. Ahsoka wore a satin pale olive green, A-line dress, with a fluid moving skirt and lightly jeweled collar.
"Wow, Ahsoka. You look...Stunning." Rex breathed out.
Ahsoka blushed and twisted her hands together
"Thanks Rex. You look very nice in your dress uniform."
Kisha giggled at the young couple before Elsie took over the situation.
"Alright people. Let's get going before we are late."
Rex proffered his arm to his girlfriend who nodded and took it with a smile.
"You really do look amazing Ahsoka." Rex whispered as they entered into a waiting speeder.
Ahsoka blushed ever further as she squeezed her boyfriend's hand in affection.
When the two of them entered into the room, every eye was turned towards them and stayed there as they stopped to talk to various acquaintances around the room. Senator Chuchi practically ran up to her friend and hugged her.
"Oh my gosh Ahsoka! You look so amazing! Thank you two so much for coming tonight!" Ahsoka smiled at her friend and hugged her back.
"Oh by the way, I think I just saw Senator Amidala and her husband enter the party. You should go over and say hello." Ryio Chuchi gave Ahsoka a conspiratorial grin which the latter returned.
Ahsoka leaned her head against Rex's shoulder and he smiled down at him.
"How surprised do you think Anakin's going to be when he sees us?" Rex asked, a twinkle in his eye
"Very. I bet it takes him a full minute and a half before he's able to say anything." Ahsoka grinned back
"I'm betting closer to two minutes." Rex challenged
"You're on." Ahsoka accepted
Ahsoka and Rex approached the other couple from behind in time to hear Anakin whispering complaints to his wife. Ahsoka reached out and tapped her master's shoulder and when the couple turned and face the two, Ahsoka quickly stifled her giggles behind her hand and Rex did so with a cough. Anakin's mouth dropped open and stayed open when presented with his Captain and Padawan. It was a full minute before Padme nudged her husband and he shut his mouth but another 45 seconds before he was able to speak.
"Ah. I did not expect to see you two here." Anakin interjected into the conversation between the three others.
"Hello to you too master. Senator Chuchi and my sister personal requested our presence." Ahsoka smirked
"Anakin, are you going to say something about how they look?" Padme threw him a bone.
"Ah, yeah. You both look very nice, especially you Snips." Anakin amended
"And you as well Sir." Rex politely returned
At that moment, the band struck up a dance song and couples began to gather on the dance floor.
"Shall we?" Padme pulled her husband away with a polite nod and secretive smile at the younger couple.
Rex offered Ahsoka his hand and lead her to the dance floor.
"I didn't know you could dance Rexster." Ahsoka half laughed as he lead her effortlessly through the dance
"Cody thought it would be a good idea to look up videos and have me practice." rex admitted
"Well I'm glad he did. And we tied."
"Tied?" Rex quirked a brow at the young togurtan
"On how long it would take Anakin to speak. It was a minute and 45 seconds, right in the middle of our two guesses. So we tied." Ahsoka explained
Rex laughed.
"Well anyway. Thank you for inviting me to be your date this evening."
Ahsoka looked up into her boyfriend's eyes.
"I wouldn't have anyone else by my side."
The two of them shared a tender kiss before the commander rested her head on the captain's shoulder and the two continued the dance in their own little world.
"Did you get the picture?" A figured hiss from a roof of the opposite building.
"Oh yeah. More than one. All good ones." The second figure's grin could be heard in the voice
"Fives. Jesse. Hurry up. The ball is going to end soon and we need to get back to barracks before curfew or Dogma figures out where we are." Echo urgently whispered.
The three crawled away from the roof's edge and to a waiting speeder.
AN: And Cut! Hope you guys enjoyed it! I am in need of ideas for more chapters so please send some! Hoep two long chapters makes up for the long silence.
