Ahsoka POV
Disclaimer: I have no idea if this is a nice restaurant or not based on Wookieepedia. I am making this an upscale sushi joint. If that is not what this restaurant is I apologize.
I stood in the middle of my bedroom wearing nothing but my bra and underwear. My clothes were strewn about everywhere. Nothing looked right or felt good, and tonight had to be perfect. Today was Rex and my three-year anniversary, and if he was ever going to propose to me, it was going to be tonight.
I picked up my commlink and called Padme.
"Hello?" came her weak voice.
"Are you okay?"
"Morning sickness. Apparently it can come at any time," she said.
"Oh. I'm so sorry. I can call back."
"No. Anakin is working late, helping Jocasta Nu. Please get my mind off this."
"OK. Well, this sounds petty, but Rex will be here in a 15 minutes and I think he is going to propose tonight, and I have nothing to wear. I am panicking!"
"Hang on." she threw up in the fresher and flushed it. "Okay pick a color that Rex likes on you or you have heard others say looks good on you. For example, purple and blue turn Anakin on so those are my go to."
"When we were on a mission once to get me to infiltrate the slave empire, Rex was the one who said that I looked good in sea blue and showed some skin."
"There go with that. Do you have something like that?"
I rumbled through my closet and found a sky blue skirt and a sleeveless neck fitting matching top.
"Okay," I said "What jewelry and shoes would go with this?"
Padme thought a minute. "Necklace a long gold chain, and bracelets, definitely some gold bangles. Shoes, I don't know, maybe some white sandals?"
I looked at my feet, and noticed that I did not have my toes done. "Could I do white boots?"
"Yes! Boots will work."
I threw the boots on the bed and looked at the chronometer. I had five minutes to get dressed. I could do this I thought to myself.
"Okay, I got to get dressed. Rex will be here any minute."
"Get someone to take pictures and tell me everything tomorrow."
I smiled. "Okay. Bye. Feel better."
"Don't ever get pregnant. Bye," she said and signed off.
I got dressed quickly, did my make-up, and put on my jewelry. I stepped back and looked at myself in the fresher mirror. I looked like a grown up, I thought to myself in amazement.
The doorbell rang, and I rushed to answer it. Rex was standing there holding a bouquet of lilies. Smiling, I took them from him.
"These are beautiful," I said, going to the kitchen to put them in some water.
"You look really nice tonight. I love that color on you," he said.
I smiled. Padme was a genius. I put the flowers in the vase and walked back to him. "Thank you," I said, kissing him. "Where would you like to eat? I am starving?"
"If you don't mind flying, how about The Room of the Masks in the Uscru District?"
"No I don't mind flying. Let's go."
The Room of The Masks was busy, but we got a table right away, which made me think that Rex either made a reservation or slipped the droid a few credits, I could not tell which. We got a table in the back away from people and noise. Soon all we could hear was soft Jazz and smell the flowers on the tables.
"Any drinks?" asked the droid.
"Your finest champagne please," said Rex.
I smiled. Rex was not a big spender, choosing to be frugal and save for an apartment, and things in the future. It always felt nice when he chose to make things really special.
The droid came back with our champagne bottle, and Rex poured us both a glass. "To the best year of my life," he said.
"Yeah. It's been amazing," I said.
We clinked glasses, and took a sip of champagne. It was strong, and I figured much of this and we would have to take a transport home.
The droid came back. "What would you like to order?"
"I will just have an Endor roll, and a small salad, and a water," I said not feeling very hungry.
"Well. I think I will have the Mon Calamari roll, and a salad," said Rex.
"Alright, the salads and the waters will be out soon, and the sushi will take ten minutes."
"That's fine," I said. The droid rolled away.
"You know," Rex said, taking my hand "when you died, it was like I had lost a family member. When I regenerated and saw you again, I felt like I was able to finally get to be with you the way I wanted to, not as a trooper or as a friend, but as a man. I would not trade these past few years for anything."
"Me either," I said getting excited.
"I want to make you happy Ahsoka. I think we make a good team. Not just militarily speaking, but all sorts of ways. You are loving, funny, smart, creative, daring. The sort of gal I want to marry," he said and got out the ring. "Ahsoka Tano, will you marry me?"
"Yes!" I said grinning and stamping my feet.
He laughed and slipped the ring on my finger. It was a beautiful diamond with a pair of small blue sapphires on either side. I leaned in to kiss him.
