(May 10, Lucy 2)
Lucy sat in her bedroom scratching her cats head and admired herself in a mirror.
"I'm the prettiest girl in the game, Benson. And with my hair slowly growing back, soon I'll have my beautiful ponytail back" said Lucy
Lucys hair had slowly grown back, it was up to her shoulders, but not long enough to tie up she felt. Her droids entered the room with a new dress, a black dress with Star designs over it.
"Your new dress has arrived your majesty. Just in time for the meeting in a couple hours" said a droid
Later on, Lucy had a meeting with the imperial grand Moff to discuss the scrapping efforts on Equestria after her war. The grand Moff helped run the planets that didn't choose to accept her rule, while the imperial moffs acted as governors and rulers of the worlds and answered to him. Lucy had an ok relationship now with Grand Moff Williams, but the other moffs still took some getting used to. She co ruled Equestria with her teacher twilight and imperial Moff Raythe, who didn't like sharing his rule with her. She was glad she wasn't dealing with him
"This dress will go perfect with my meeting, I must try it on" said Lucy
"Your majesty, we strongly recommend against it. If this dress is ruined you don't have another, remember all your other dresses are being washed or repaired"
"I'm the queen of the Lucy empire, I can do whatever I want. And I want to wear my dress to Miss Honeys store to pick up my shipment of snacks" said Lucy
"Roger roger" the droids complied
Lucy removed her jacket and slipped the dress over her body, it felt perfect over her.
"I don't see why mom hates these things, this feels great" said Lucy
"Mom isn't like you remember?" Kevin asked as he walked in
"Yes I know. Hi Kevin, you need something?" Lucy asked
He shoved a few Litwak dollars to her chest
"Since I know you're going out, pick me up some M&Ms from the sweet shop near honeys" said Kevin
Lucy gave the money to a droid
"Sure bro" said Lucy
Lucy went to a car downstairs escorted by a commando, a B2, and a couple B1 droids. After a short drive into town, Lucy found herself at honeys store. The shop was open, but honey didn't seem to be there. But after calling for her she finally arrived. Lucy requested her usual order before noticing several colorful jars open on the counter with a sign reading free samples on them.
"Miss honey, what're these?" Lucy asked
Honey got lucys treats bagged up and explained.
"Those are some new flavors of honey I created in some sample jars. They're sweet and sour and tangy citrus" said Honey
Lucy almost gagged at the thought of sweet and sour honey.
"Sweet and sour? Eww"
Honey leaned forward over the counter to try to explain they weren't bad, but she knocked a jar right over lucys new dress.
"Oh my princess I'm so sorry. Hang on I'll clean you up"
"My dress, my beautiful dress. You ruined it. Ew it's all sticky and gross" Lucy whined
Honey tried to wipe off the honey but it smeared, and she accidentally tore part of the dress on the bottom. The droids had had enough watching their master insulted in such a manner and raised their blasters at honey
"Step away from the queen" the B2 ordered
Honey nervously backed away. Despite being bulletproof, she didn't like getting shot at, and even if they didn't shoot her, the B2 and commando could still hurt her.
"Do you know how much this dress cost? Moff Williams would make fun of me if he saw me like this" Lucy whined
Honey tried to apologize, but Lucy didn't want to hear it. She got back in her car, worried at what to do. She got an idea and decided to head to the smorelines house, Fudge wore dresses all the time, surely she could fix her dress.
(An hour later, lucys lab)
An upset Kevin sat at a work table with a model ship of a separatist dreadnought, a broken one at that. Also with him was the cut off head of Scaramouche the robot assassin.
"Tough luck but no cigar daddy-o. Bedeepbadoopdop, you're out of luck is what I'm saying" said Scaramouche
"Why hasn't Lucy fixed you, yet?" Kevin asked
"She said something about my game being old" said Scaramouche
Lucy entered the lab, upset, and grabbed a drink from a fridge.
"Bad luck too sis?" Kevin asked
"Yeah. Miss honey ruined my new dress and miss fudge can't fix it in time. I don't have another for my meeting and I don't know what to do. What's your problem?" Lucy asked
"Miss honey made me drop my cruiser, I was wondering-
"If I can fix it? Of course I can. But not now. Oh what am I going to do?" Lucy asked
"Guess you'll have to dress casual" said Kevin
"I can't do that, it's not professional" said Lucy
"You don't have any other options. Sis you don't need a fancy dress to have a meeting, I know you can do this with or without one. But wear your tiara, and put on some nicer earrings, that'll make you look nicer" said Kevin
Lucy took his advice and went back to her room in the castle while Kevin went back to his in the family's castle. He hoped Lucy did well with her meeting, but just in case, he took out a brown suit, pants, white shirt and brown tie from his closet. This was his Royal outfit, he only wore it when needed. He had a feeling he might need it.
Eventually it was time for Lucy to have her meeting. The sky had gotten darker and it began to rain. She waited in the hangar bay of her castle for the grand moffs shuttle. Rancis and Vanellope offered to supervise the meeting and help her out, but Lucy insisted she could handle this, arguing how else is she gonna learn? Out of the sky, an imperial Lambda shuttle folded its wings up and landed in the hangar bay. Several stormtroopers exited, followed by not Grand Moff Williams, but the equestrian imperial governor, Moff Raythe. He looked at her casual outfit and sneered.
"How professional" he joked "The queen finds it appropriate to meet me in her school girl clothes"
"I didn't have any dresses. Why're you here? Where's mr Williams?" Lucy asked
"The grand Moff has more important matters to deal with than attend a meeting about some backwater planet littered with junk and inhabited by nonhumans. I am the governor of that world so I will do the talking"
"Don't forget we co rule the planet with my teacher" said Lucy
"Miss sparkle isn't here. It's just us 2. Now let's get this over with" said Raythe
The 2 went to the castle dining room to have their meeting. Kevin stood outside the door in his suit and tie ready to come in if necessary.
"You're a good brother for doing this. Does Lucy know you're doing this?" A B1 asked him
"No, she doesn't. I'm only going in if I feel my sister needs me" said Kevin
He listened to the meeting, both agreeing that the cleanup on Equestria was doing ok, but both disagreed on what the parts would be used for. Lucy wanted the parts taken from the ships to go into the construction of housing, while Moff Raythe wanted the parts to go towards rebuilding the imperial fleet.
"The fleets are fine the way they are" Lucy argued
"You're just a little girl, you're too young to understand" said Raythe
"Stop calling me too young, I know what I'm doing" said Lucy
Kevin listened to more of the conversation. Moff Raythe argued that a bigger fleet meant less pirate attacks, but Lucy argued the pirates weren't much of a threat and her fleet was taking care of them. Moff Raythe again berated Lucy about her age, claiming she was again too young to see the bigger picture. He criticized her first rule and how she let her kingdom fall the way it did. He called her rude and greedy, and a spoiled princess. But what made Lucy break down crying was when he called her a recolor who would never live up to Vanellopes expectations. Kevin was angry and had heard enough. He burst into the room and marched towards the Moff.
"How dare you make my little sister cry" Kevin angrily shouted "She's a better ruler than you'll ever be"
"Oh how cute, the prince thinks he can stand up to me" said Raythe
"You're nothing but a big bully. You're lucky you're even still in power because, newsflash, my sister won the war against your empire. She could've destroyed you all, but she decided to make peace. For that I'm proud of her. She made mistakes, but she made up for them. She's the kindest, sweetest, and nicest ruler I've ever known. You're a disgrace to your uniform" said Kevin
Moff Raythe was furious at Kevin, but he didn't speak.
"Now I suggest you apologize to my sister and never, ever, say bad things about her again, or I'll have my family report you to the grand moff. How do you think he'd react if he heard you jeopardized the peace treaty by insulting a queen in her face? You'd be scrubbing toilets the rest of your life" said Kevin
Moff Raythe was clearly angered being told off by Kevin, but he knew he was right. He begrudgingly apologized to Lucy for his behavior. Kevin sat next to his sister and comforted her, which made her happy. With his help, both sides came to an agreement on where resources should go as well as convincing others to help the ponies clean their world. After Raythe left, Kevin and Lucy snuck down a hallway and into a secret slot in the wall of their family home. They went up some stairs and ended up in a secret room, their secret spot they called it. Nobody but them knew about it, not their friends, their parents, not even lucys droids knew about it. They came here whenever they needed to get away from the world and its problems.
In their secret spot was a tv, some bean bag chairs, a window showing the rain falling outside, and a few toys. Lucy turned on a light and the 2 sat in their bean bag chairs.
"Thanks for sticking by me" said Lucy
"We're family, we gotta watch out for each other. And you won the war, he's lucky you did what you did" said Kevin
Lucy smiled before it thundered, which frightened her just a little, but Kevin comforted her.
"We're safe here sis, you know that" said Kevin
Lucy calmed down a little. She felt Kevin reach behind her neck and Unclasp her pearl necklace, much to her surprise
"We're alone sis, no need to try to look fancy to me. Being honest I prefer you without those" he told her as he took off his suit jacket and tie
"I know, but-
"You want to be pretty all the time, I know" said Kevin "But you're pretty to me even without those"
"Thanks, it's nice to hear that from you. Hey, you wanna watch a movie?" Lucy asked
"Sounds good to me" said Kevin
"Hey you think mom and dad will ever find our hiding spot? I think they're becoming suspicious" said Lucy
"Nah, we're careful" said Kevin as he turned towards the tv
