After the depressing Season Finale, I am back on my feet from the drama it brought... I was so traumatized that I spent the whole weekend just thinking about it... My birthday was last Sunday! YEAH ME! XD

Anyways, on with the show!

Dr. Anthro-Tano: Thank you!

Bookreaderninja: Glad I gave you some comfort from the last depressing episode.

MasterAlariBonteri: Thanks, and it is going to be a lot of sleepless nights until Season 6.

King Tiger Tank: Yeah, I knew I had to make a detailed torture sequence... Just imagining and running tarantula inside your throat would be the key to the gross-out scene.

AhsokaTano141516: Glad this story gives some comfort.

ReadyFred-ReadyGeorge: This is how I thought the Onderon Arc should have panned out, because it is my story. xD

Green Verde: I am desperate to make Lux a 4-D character, because I was sick and tired of haters calling him a doofus... Not that I am saying you are, but it just irked me all the time.

Count Mallet: Thanks for your LONG review!

Superfan44: I had to give a speech out that spoke to the faithful but smart fans... Glad you liked it.

Elsa-Ranger: I did enjoy the Finale, I was really depressed of the ending... I am too buzzed to know what happens for Ahsoka, hoping that her legacy doesn't end on how the Finale ended.

Lux's POV

I walked down the halls to Ahsoka's dorm... but on the way, I crashed into Steela, almost knocking us off our feet.

"Whoops! Sorry, Lux." she apologized

"It was nothing..."

She cast a face as if she won the lottery.

"You- you got your voice back! Phenomenal! I missed hearing you speak!"

I chuckled a little. But when I comprehended that what she said wasn't meant for a joke, I scrunched up my eyebrows, "You did."

Steela regretted saying that, "Ummm... Yes... I-I thought it was miserable going out without a voice... Especially when you can't describe your feelings for someone special and-" She stopped herself again. "I'm guessing that you wish to speak with Ahsoka now?"

"Yeah... I-" But there was nothing more I could really explain. "She's just so enchanting, I-" I paused, "I need to see her."

For some reason, Steela looked as if she wasn't able to step aside and allow me forward. Was she keeping something from me during their 'talk'?"

"Look, I'm sorry, but I didn't get a chance to speak with her... Her door was locked and even when I knocked, she never let me entered... I couldn't hear anything in there." Steela averted her eyes, wondering if her excuse was good enough.

"Did you say who you were?"

"Uhhh..., no... I didn't know what I should have done..." She renounced her previous position, "Look, you can try speaking to her. She knows you better."

"Oh, OK... Uh, thanks Steela." Without too much of a ceremony, we both parted our separate ways...

Upon reaching Ahsoka's door that was across my room- Wait a minute!

If I returned to this same room previously to get my holorecorder and Steela was not allowed admittance to my 'Soka's room, then why didn't I see her the first time... Did she ignore my request...?

I shooed that idea away and promptly knocked on the door instead. "Who is it?" I didn't hear any stifling sniffling... I hope Ahsoka wasn't sad anymore.

"It's me." I was hoping for a shout of rejoice..., but I didn't get it.

"Who?" By Hutt's slime, didn't she recognize my voice... or my accent!

"L-... Your..." Go on! Just say it...! "Your secret admirer." Oh, you could not imagine how embarrassed I looked after that.

"Lux, is that you?"

"As me as I will ever be me." I was wondering desperately the face Ahsoka would have of me saying that.

"Come in!" Strange, she did not sound sad at all.

She used the Force to open the door for me to enter the threshold... And it was surprisingly not at all dark since on the far side was a balcony that overlooked the streets below, including far off into Yolahn Square. Her room was on the top floor of Tecora's apartment...

But it still was very dark.

"Aren't you going to turn on lights in here?" I mused

But Ahsoka did not take it all like a joke, "I feel guilty. I shouldn't be staying in such a luxurious room like this. This is probably the best room in the building."

I looked about and she was, as always, right. The room looked far too decorated and lavishing than any Jedi is ever used to. There was a fur rug, polished lamps, and multi-layered bed. Without exaggeration, this was ten times better of resting quarters than my room that had all of it's furniture piled with dust.

And I knew why Ahsoka's room was extremely decorated: Steela. She most have chosen the best room knowing that is what I would have wanted for her.

Stee, you dont have to butter her up! Let me do that!

"Well, a room has to be fit for a queen. And you fit for that category."

She erupted a slight smile. I didn't see her cheek turn red because it already was red, but I did feel butterflies flutter in my stomach just seeing her smile.

"Well, I guess that explains why I got me such a lavishing room at your former home..., or was that your's." Her eyebrows jutted up as she flirted back at me.

"No, my mother chose that room. But if you thought it was mine, then you could have just said so... I can pretend."

She shook her head, obviously amused at my behavior. "You can sit down." She patted the part of the bed next to where she sat. I looked down at the ground and gave off the most ludicrous flush of my face. My cheeks got so red that anyone would have mistaken me as a carnival clown.

"Uh no, madame. I can't. I-I-I... I think I should get going now." What are you doing! Your suppose to connect with her, not run away again!

But I couldn't move; not because I didn't want to, but because I was being levitated... Literally...

I was hovering in the air by Ahsoka's 'magical' powers. I could have squirmed or squealed, but I didn't want to appear any more silly as I already was.

"We're not finished with this conversation, you know." Ahsoka gave a wink to me... It was surprising that early today she was crying her eyes out for being called a 'prostitute', but she seemed very easy to forgive.

Why would you think that Ahsoka was too weak to overcome being insulted!? SHE IS THE MOST POWERFUL WOMAN IN THE GALAXY!

"Now now, this isn't exactly the most proper way of being sociable." I joked

"No," she purred dismissively, "But it still feels good to do so."

'Wait, does she have a fondness for me?' a part of my mind asked. 'No, she is just doing this to make you happy. Why would she love you?' the sly part of me countered.

She's a Jedi. She said so herself, 'The Jedi was her life.' She wouldn't threaten her existence as a peacekeeper for my dirty hide!

But my mind completely deteriorated from its thought process when I was close... and then landed lightly on the dip of her mattress that slanted down to where she sat...

I tried to look away from her, but there was no escaping this orange cornucopia of honey. She placed her left hand on my right and I quickly noticed the lacking of her leather gloves.

My breath then hitched from her tender touch but I still didn't want to become too entrapped by her...

Needless to say, there was no good in revolting... I was asking for it in the first place.

She used her other hand to cup my cheek and force me to look into her shining eyes... again... "I know you did not come to my room to see if I was still OK." She chuckled and plastered a bigger smile on my face during our 'staring contest'. "No. I know you wanted more."

It was true, but who was I to say that all I think of my love is 'want'... I had to show there was more to it... To prove it.

"All I ask of you is to accept me and-" I thought if I should continue and ask to marry.

No you can't! You're too young! She's a JEDI! She is already pushing the limits by doing this! You can't go further with her as long as she is a Jedi!

She saw that I was desperate to show my feelings. She already knew. This romance of my own was no secret anymore. I explained my feelings when I had no voice back at the Nest.

"Look, I know you feel lost, but in truth: You're not... You already have goals set in mind."

I sighed... She didn't know the whole truth...

"I do have dreams, but what if I had to choose one from the other?"

Ahsoka seemed stumped at my question. Her smile was gone and was replaced with a look of worry. "Lux, I can't make any promises, but there won't have to come a time of 'choosing one from the other'... Not as long as you remain who you are..." She bent closer, her fiery hot breath hit my face which got my own breathing to hitch and my heartbeat to spike.

"I will be there for you in facing this challenge, Lux Bonteri. I will be there to-"

"-To save my life" I interrupted, but still kept respect by raising my hands to her lekku and stroked it. It was a marvel of how soft they were. (But not as much as her pillow of a cheek) She didn't respond to my touch except for shining an even larger smile.

"I thought I already did save you."

I puzzled at what she was trying to say. My arms lost their position in the upholding massage but rather slinked down to her shoulders where they found their new resting place... My fingers went to prick her curved bare back.

But wonder was replacing wonder at the intimate moment. Ahsoka moved her hands to dig into my hair on the back of my neck.

She inched a little closer... and I allowed her safe passage. "This is for your family."

She gave a soft press of her pert lips on my left cheek. I could not help myself but belch out a lovestrucked sigh of euphoria.

"This is for your home." She transitioned and gave another kiss on my lonely right. I felt her wondrous mouth cradle the cheekbone in both an absorbing and expelling fashion.

I heard a soft "smoosh" as her lips let go of their past location. I was then looking directly into her eyes that were less than a centimeter away.

"This is for your future." Her head rose..., causing me to stare at her collared neck, especially her diamond button at the middle of it.

Her lips this time pressed against my forehead, cooling my mind and dulling all of my stressful senses.

When she came back to look at me again, I was awarded the best prize that I shall ever receive from her... "And this is for you and me."

I couldn't exactly remember all that happened then. My senses were all but destroyed upon touch... For her touching lips met mine in perfect caressing unity...

It was the best gift I was ever given. It was the most stunning of luck to be accepted by such a beauty... Natural beauty...

This was the threshold prize that shall forever start my life.

I understand that this is a short chapter, but what more is there I could say about them kissing... Next chapter, I will finish their affectionate scene.

Hopefully this little fluff was a relief from the heart-breaking Finale. But no tears... There does not have to be any.
