Chapter 9: Preparations
Carth, Revan and Dustil had a great time shopping together in the Coruscant stores. Dustil noticed how happy his father was, and knew it was because of Revan. He decided that he was being selfish wanting his father to be alone just because his mother was gone. Revan was not the same woman who was the dark lord. She was kind and funny. So he figured he would later tell them he was happy for them.
Their first stop was Ord Formal Wear. Tonight there would be a large formal dinner as a way to wish everyone good luck on their missions. While the guys were complimenting each other on their suits, Revan stepped out of her dressing room to get their opinion on a dress she was trying on.
It was an ivory white silk dress that came to her ankles. It had thin straps and showed off her cleavage. It hugged her body all the way down to her upper thighs and then it flared slightly the rest of the way down. She looked beautiful.
Both men stood there staring at her. "You look so beautiful Revan", Carth told her. Dustil nodded in agreement, "very beautiful" he said. Revan smiled. "Thank you", she said, "you guys don't look so bad yourselves". Dustil couldn't help but think how lucky his dad was to have suck a stunning woman love him.
After changing back into their street clothes and making their purchases, Carth asked if anyone was hungry. "I am" said Dustil. Revan could sense that Dustil wanted to speak with his father privately. "You two go along and have lunch" she said, "I want to go back to the Jedi Temple and see how things are going with HK, and then I have to get myself ready for tonight's dinner". Carth looked at her surprised. "You want to get ready now"? Carth asked. Revan laughed. "Well I am a woman and it takes time to do these things," she told him. So Carth gave her a kiss and told her they'd see her later.
Meanwhile at the cantina, Mauve wondered if peace would ever be possible between her two friends. Atton had spent the whole time smirking and glaring at Disciple. Every time Disciple tried to start a conversation with him, Atton would either be sarcastic or just out right ignore him. He was being down right impossible.
Mission and Zalbaar where having lots of fun. They went to Yavhars Upgrades Emporium. While they were there they had Carths blasters upgraded for him as a gift from Revan. They had also managed to steal Dustils lightsaber to be upgraded as well, also a gift from Revan.
Mission also went to a top of the line dress shop to get a dress for the dinner tonight. Zalbaar asked her why she was getting a special dress. Mission blushed. "I just want to look nice is all", she told him. Zalbaar laughed at her, "I wonder who for" he said. Blushing even more Mission stuck her tongue at him, which made him laugh harder.
Zalbaar was her best friend, and he was also the only one who knew she had a crush on Dustil. She doubted that Dustil felt the same way for her. She was only a few years younger than him, but there was that he was human while she was not. He is also a Jedi. Oh well, she thought, there's no harm in trying.
