Prohibido
Jaina02
I had never stepped foot into the lowest levels of Coruscant. I was intrigued by its sin and by the feeling of doing something I shouldn't do.
Both of my parents had threatened me with death when I was younger if I was to even step a pinky toe in the highest level of the lower levels. At that point I had no desire to even think about the lower levels, but things change, and I changed as I grew older. My sister was the first to tell me about this little club down there called the Prohibido. She loved going there with her fiancé Zekk, and she said that they had the best Corellian food next to our father's. She convinced me and Zekk to go do a "guy thing," and the next thing I knew, I was on my way to Prohibido, in the lower levels of Coruscant.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey man, don't be so tight, it's just the Lower Levels, not a Sarrlac Pit!" Zekk told Jacen.
"I have no clue why I am so nervous."
Zekk slapped Jacen on the back, "Ah, you'll really unwind once we get there, Jaina doesn't know this, but after eight o'clock is when the real fun begins."
"Zekk are you telling me it turns into a strip club after hours because if you are..."
Zekk threw his hands up I the air, "Now wait a minute, I wouldn't even think about going to a strip club, it isn't anything like that I swear. You just have to see it to understand."
Jacen nodded and tried to breathe, he kept having this feeling like he was going to suffocate and the force was giving him feelings that he had never felt before.
He looked up and realized that they had reached their destination. A big neon sign flashed "Prohibido" and there were dozens of guys entering the antique metal gates. Zekk grabbed Jacen and they too entered the gates. There they found a courtyard which seemed to serve as a restaurant. Jacen looked up and saw the towering lights of Coruscant that never seemed to end. He followed Zekk into the large building where a sign read- "Open" and he took one more breath of sane air before entering the building.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I stepped into the main room of the Prohibido, the first things that caught my attention were the swirling lights and colors. Girls dressed in skirts were swirling around me and all at once I was disoriented and enchanted. I slowly followed Zekk to a corner where a table waited for us and watched as the girls danced around the huge dance floor that was in the middle of the room. An orchestra at the front of the room played a quick paced song that added to the sensuality of the Prohibido.
Then just as soon as it had started, it stopped, and a large man waved his hands and in a husky voice exclaimed, "The Cancan!"
Dancers ran to their positions and the men that they were dancing with moved quickly out of their way. The music began and again, dancers swished and turned all over the dance floor, taking lucky men with them. It was then that I realized that Zekk was trying to get my attention.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey, what do you think?"
Jacen did not respond, his gaze fixed on the madness surrounding him.
"Hey, Jace.."
Still no response, "Jacen!"
Jacen turned sheepishly towards him, "Sorry Zekk, I just..." he lost his train of thought, "I mean... Wow," he couldn't even speak.
"Yeah, I know, this is how I was when I first came here."
"You know, Uncle Luke always says that a Jedi feels no passion..."
Zekk cut him off, "Jacen, we aren't here..."
"Uncle Luke is full of crap!"
Zekk laughed and then nodded at the girls, "Anyone in particular?"
Jacen narrowed his eyes, "Don't tell me that this is a way to distract me from me and Tenel Ka's break up?"
Zekk laughed, "Nah, but hey, who says you can't kill two birds with one stone?"
"I don't like to think of killing any birds Zekk."
Zekk was about to remark, but that was when the music stopped, the dancers withdrew and the men who remained on the dance floor quieted and looked up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The music stopped and I noticed that all of the dancers in the middle had retreated and that their empty handed dance partners were standing still looking in awe up at...what?
At that point I thought that they were crazy for looking up, and then I saw large pieces of metallic glitter falling from the ceiling. I looked up as well and then I saw- her.
A girl suspended from a trapeze was being lowered from the ceiling. She had on a sparkling costume and a small hat was off center, close to her forehead. She had incredibly fair skin, smoky brown eyes and a small but pouty red mouth. And then she spoke, and any part of me that had been sane, retreated to some hidden place.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The French are glad to die for love..." were the first words that Laurel spoke. Jacen didn't know who the French were and even as she spoke again, he didn't remember a thing that she said after that.
Then in a blaze of light and sound he watched as she began to sing and dance around the gaping men. She was fabulous...
"What do you think?"
Jacen answered without looking at Zekk again, "Big WOW."
Zekk laughed again, "You have a meeting with Laurel tonight."
Jacen spun his gaze to meet Zekk's, "I what?"
Zekk smiled, "I have arranged a meeting between the two of you. I am hoping that you will be able to woo her and get stupid Tenel Ka off of your mind."
Jacen looked at Zekk dumbfoundedly, "And how do you propose that I do that?"
"I really don't care how, try to woo her, I want your focus on something else for once."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Laurel grabbed Meao and pulled him towards her, "So, where is he? Is he here?"
Meao grinned, "Yes, he's over there!" he said pointing to a very general direction.
"Is he going to perform with me?"
"Only if you audition well tonight pumpkin!"
Laurel grinned and danced around Meao, "Show me which one he is."
Meao scanned the room and found him again, "The one that is checking his chronometer in the black cape."
Laurel scanned the room and found two men with black capes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zekk tapped Jacen, "Hey Jacen, what time is it?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At that moment, Ewan Darklit, the Actor, put away his chrono and Jacen pulled his out.
Laurel squinted her eyes, surely the man that was checking his chrono wasn't the Actor, he was so young looking, handsome, but awful young... well, if that was whom she was meant to audition with, then so be it.
She found Meao standing back at the front of the room grabbing for his microphone.
"Ladies choice, gentlemen." She heard Meao say as he winked at her.
She took the hint and waltzed over to the "Actor" and watched as Jacen's face filled with shock as she motioned towards him.
Jacen watched Laurel walk towards him and he blushed and looked towards Zekk for support. Zekk just shrugged and laughed.
Laurel pouted when she saw the slight shake of Jacen's head and the blush creep up his face.
"He must not like me!" she exclaimed to the audience.
The audience began to chant "Laurel, Laurel..." over and over again until Jacen (still blushing) stood up and gave her his hand.
That's it for now kiddies! I just want a reaction on how it is going, so feedback is greatly appreciated!
Author's notes: Okay, I always write really long ones, so sorry if I am babbling! I want to say thank you to all of my buds: Deanna, Ashley, Jessica, Mandy, Laura, and Kayla! You guys are so awesome! I also want to thank all of our "men": Mitchell, Alex, Greg, Evan, Jason, Will, Cliff, and Chris! You are sooooo annoying, but we love you anyways! I am so looking forward to the summer, but you can't mess it up (Mitchell, you already have)! I also pray that everyone who reads this is blessed through Christ in their life. Okay, I also have to thank Missy for always being there for me and for going to see Moulin Rouge with me! You make it so much fun to go see with (we like to sing along to the songs)!
Oh, and the song that Laurel sings in this part is based on "Sparkling Diamonds" from the Moulin Rouge soundtrack.
