As I walk to Yun's party, that Republic soldier is still on my mind. I don't even want to think of his name. I just want this night to be free from my thoughts of Car... I mean that Republic soldier. All right... think happy thoughts. Think of family, and friends... and love. Love... what a joke. All love is... is a four-letter word.

Finally, I arrive at Yun's. It seemed like a lifetime to get here. Before I even get to his apartment, I can hear the loud music blaring from the room. I think this is just what I need... the perfect medicine. I walk in and see the usuals from the cantina. I spot Yun over by the bar and start to walk toward him. Before I get there, he turns around and smiles.

I really don't like Yun, but he is good company. Ever since I moved from the Lower City, I haven't had many friends. To tell the truth, Mission was my only true friend. Oh, great. This is all I need tonight. First, I am thinking about 'Mr. Personality' all day and now I am thinking about Mission. Not what I needed!

"Hey," Yun says as he hands me a glass.

"Hi Yun. Nice party," I say while trying to sound as if I am actually enjoying his company.

"Thanks. I'm glad you made it. I stopped by the cantina today, but your boss said you had off."

"Yeah. I... I wasn't feeling so well this morning. Figured I should take it slow."

"I know, I know... you just wanted to come to my big bash. Had to prepare yourself."

"How did you know?" I say sarcastically before taking my first sip of the contents in the glass. I grimace a little, for I never really cared for Tarisian Ale.

"Oh... I forgot. You don't care for the ale. I'll get you something..."

"No. It's all right. Just what I need actually."

"Oh, really," he says while giving me a sort of flirtatious grin.

"Yeah. What is that grin for?"

"Oh, nothing. Just thinking that maybe you need something else too. A beautiful woman such as yourself shouldn't be living all alone, with no family to take care of you. You deserve better."

"I am quite fine by myself, Yun."

"Keep telling that to yourself."

I give Yun a small smile and take another sip of the dreadful substance in my cup. I can't believe people actually like this stuff. Yun continues to stare at me. I wonder what he is thinking. I bet it's along the lines of keep drinking baby... yeah that sounds about right. He would like me to get totally plastered and then he thinks I will actually consent to... nope never going to happen. In his dreams... oh wait... forget it.

"So Yun, how was work? Have the Sith found those fugitives yet?"

"No. We still have no leads either. We know that the pod that landed in the Upper City was abandoned when we got there, but there could have been survivors for there were no corpses. There was also one that landed in the Under City, yet I bet the swoop gangs got to that one. If there were any survivors, they would know."

"Oh... well, let's get off the subject of work."

"Fine by me... what do you want to talk about?"

"Uhh..." All that I could think of was Carth, and how I should tell him that another pod crashed in the Under City. But he probably already knows that. But, AGAIN, I shouldn't tell him anything! I helped him enough. Enough of him... forget about him.

"Well... seems as if someone has their mind elsewhere tonight. What is it?"

"I really don't want to talk about it," I say as a take a huge swig of my drink. I am actually getting accustomed to the taste, which isn't a good sign.

"Oh come on. You listen to people's stories everyday. Why don't you let me play bartender for a day? I did get you that drink... I think I could pass as one?"

"No Yun... I really don't want to talk about it," I say with a hint of discomfort in my voice.

"Alright, alright. I won't push."

I look down at my drink and back at my reflection. What is happening to me? What has this man done to me? He is in my dreams and in my thoughts. I hardly know him and I am... I am infatuated by him. Everything about him, yet I truly know nothing about him. I shake my head, trying to knock his image from my brain where it has resided all day. I down the rest of my drink and look up to Yun's surprised face.

"I'll get you a refill."

"I really... "But before I could protest he was already halfway to the bar with my cup. Oh well. It gives me time without Yun watching over my shoulder. As I start to think again, I am bumped from the side.

"Oh I am so sorry."

I look to see who had done it and find Sarna. She works with Yun, and is a royal pain in the ass. I never liked her. I mean, I don't really like Yun, but she makes Yun look like a god.

"Save it, Sarna. I really don't need any sarcasm from you."

"Oh come now. I really am sorry. Isn't it such a great party?"

"Sure... umm... I am going to.."

"Here you go."

That voice was a masculine voice. Not Yun's though, even though I could barely hear it over the music.

"Oh thank you handsome," Sarna says as she is handed a drink.

I start to walk away, Yun has taken much to long with those drinks; probably talking or flirting with another person here As I go, I look up at the man whom was with Sarna. My mouth almost drops open. He looks down at me, with somewhat of the same surprise. I am never going to get this man out of my head.
