(The Vader Family Residence- Imperial Palace- Imperial Center- Luke's POV)

"Do I have to go, Father?" asked Luke with total despair.

"Yes." answered Vader. His tone left no room for discussion.

"Besides, you only have to go once a year," offered Lady Vader, or Padme.

Luke sighed. He hated going to parties like this.


(Royal Youth Ball- Imperial Palace- Imperial Center Junna's POV)

Sophi was currently nibbling on her food. Haven was off talking to someone . And I was staring at this food.

/I really should go do something like- like- ./

/I have no idea what to do. Ugh./

/I can draw! I mean, I did bring my sketch book…/

Moments later I was situated near a corner of the ball room. I leaned my back on the pillar behind me. I flipped to a blank page and pulled out a sharp pencil. I noticed a large fountain at the other end of the room and came up with the bright idea to draw it.

A few minutes later...

"Hey, that's really good," commented a voice behind me.

I jumped and my pencil flew a good three yards straight up. I spun around, my pencil landing neatly into my waiting hand, to look at the person who spoke. Surprisingly I came face to face to a boy my age.

"Uh, thanks, I guess." I said.

"Oh I didn't mean to scare you," he apologised.

"Uh, it's fine. I'm used to it. My cousins sneak up on me all the time," I said. I used this opportunity to study the boy. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. Judging by his clothes he was probably part of a royal family.

"So what is your name?" asked the boy.

"Junna Wolff." I replied with pride in my voice. "And you are?"

"Luke Vader."
