Authors Notes: As to the reviewer who said Ani is crazy, I am the crazy one :p And I am trying to drag this date out as long as I can, saying as it is what the whole story is about.
Chapter 10: On the Way to the Overlook
As Anakin went through the hallways of the Jedi Temple, he wished he had bathed in deodorant. He was sweating so hard from nervousness that he had to wrong his tunic out a few times on the way. He had just enough time to stop by the temple gift shop and buy a dozen roses for a certain Twi-lek. After he bought the roses, he proceeded to Aayla's quarters, and signaled that he was there, exactly at 7:00 P.M. She promptly came to the door, and Ani pulled the roses from behind his back.
"Wow, what pretty roses!" Aayla cooed. "You got those for me? Ani, you are such a dashing young padawan. I really am glad Obi-Wan dumped me now."
Ani could scarcely believe his ears. "You mean it?"
"Of course I do," Aayla responded sincerely. "Obi was a twerp."
"Ok, enough Obi-Wan hate, lets just get on with our date. Hey! That rhymed. I'm a poet and I didn't even know it."
"That you are, young Ani. So, where are we going?"
"Only the best 5-star restaurant in town for you my love!" Ani exclaimed. "The only revolving restaurant with full transparisteel walls on top of a building in the Senate district. The Overlook at 500 Senate Terrace."
"Wow. When you plan a date, you really plan a date, huh?"
"Defiantly, my love!" Ani said excitedly. "And now, if you will come with me, we have a 7:45 reservation."
Aayla looped her arm through Anikan's, even though she had to bend over sideways to do it. They went to the front steps of the Jedi Temple, instead of the speeder garage as usual. Just as they stepped out into the fresh evening air, a stretch speederlimo, covered in luxurious items of every kind, pulled up.
"Now do I REALLY know how to plan a date or what?" Ani asked. "It comes complete with a repulsorlift bed, to be used if needed, a hot tub, and as much champagne as any Twi'lek or human could possibly want. But all that stuff is for after the dinner."
The chauffeur then opened the door on the side facing Anakin and Aayla to let them in. Not only could you stand fully upright, but just as Ani said, there was a hot tub, a bed, plenty of romantic holo-flicks, and everything else someone on a date could want or need.
"Wow! This is the best speederlimo I have ever seen, much less been in!" Aayla asserted.
"Yes, I do have luxurious tastes, don't I?" Ani asked.
They then sat on the luxurious couch in the back of the limo and enjoyed the ride to the Overlook by making out heavily.
"No wonder Twi'leks are so sexy!" Ani blurted in between lip locks.
"You are so sexy yourself Ani!" Aayla said as she pulled him closer.
Good thing the shield between the chauffeur and the passengers is up, Ani thought to himself. At this rate the repulsor bed may end up being used before they even got to the Overlook.
"Wow, and I thought mouth-to-mouth with Natalie was good!" Ani exclaimed.
Just then, they unfortunately arrived at the Overlook, and had to stop swapping spit.
They got out, arm in arm, and went onto the Overlook at 500 Senate Terrace…
