Party Girl
Part One
Like
a movie scene
In the sweetest dreams
I had pictured us
together
Now to feel your lips
On my fingertips
I have to
say is even better
Then I ever thought it could possibly be
It's
perfect, it's passion, it's setting me free
From all of my
sadness
The tears that I've cried
I have spent all of my life
CHORUS:
Waiting for tonight, oh
When you would be
here in my arms
Waiting for tonight, oh
I've dreamed of this
love for so long
Waiting for tonight
Tender words you say
Take my breath away
Love me now, leave me never
Found a
sacred place
Lost in your embrace
I want to stay in this
forever
I think of the days when the sun used to set
On my
empty heart, all alone in my bed
Tossing and turning
Emotions
were strong
I knew I had to hold on
CHORUS 2x
Gone
are the days when the sun used to set
On my empty heart all alone
in my bed
Tossing and turning
Emotions were strong
I knew
I had to hold on
CHORUS
- Waiting For Tonight
J.Lo.
The club was pulsating with a strange sort of dance music, people moving everywhere. She knew she must have looked pretty strange, barefoot and in a red silk dress like that, but she knew she was also getting appreciatie glances from many of the girls and boys. Someone reached out and grabbed her hand, and she tried to shake them off, but found no effect. Turning around, she saw that a skinny human man had grabbed hold of her arm, grinning foolishly down at her. He seemed to be in his early twenties, slightly grundgy looking, and perverted.
" Let go of me." she said through gritted teeth. He simply grinned broader, pulling her closer to him. His hand slid down to her bottom, unleashing her horrible temper.
She pulled out of his grasp, and cirlcled around, her foot making contact with the side of his head. He was knocked backwards but quickly scrambled to his feet. Her hand reached out and grabbed his throat, picking him up off of the floor while throttling him. An anger so intense filled her eyes, causing them to grow dark. Her voice almost seemed demonic when she spoke.
" Don't touch me, don't grab my ass, and don't come near me again. Got it." he nodded as best as he could, with her hand still wrapped around his trachial pipe. Mara let him go and turned around, marching off into the crowd.

Tionne looked at Lando skeptically at what they had just seen. The little Imperial was stronger than her appearence let off.
" Remind me to never piss her off." Lando said quietly to Tionne. Kam had fallen asleep, worn out from his job he had just come from.
" After that little seen, I highly doubt that you'll forget. You don't think she came because she knows we're here?" Tionne asked him, her pearl eyes trying to find her silloette in the crowd. He shook his head in answer, leaning his head back against the sofa back.
" No, I highly doubt she even realizes that we're here. That plus the fact that she doesn't seem to fancy Luke too much." Tionne smiled wickedly and lifted up her glass in cheers, Lando mimicking her actions.

Luke leaned over the blonde, knowing she wanted him to kiss her, but his imagination started playing tricks on him. He had thought he saw Mara Jade walk passed and heading towards the very back of the club, where the restrooms and payphone were located. He pushed himself away from the blonde and walked off after the hallucination he swore he had just seen.
And sure enough, when he got to where the payphones were located, he saw Mara leaning against the wall in a red silk dress that showed off more of her than he usually saw. She was on her comlink, frustrated with something it appeared. She then angrily turned off her comlink and sighed in irritation, leaning her head against the wall. Luke walked up beside her and gently caressed her cheek. her eyes fluttered open quickly, and she nearly fell over when seeing who it was.
" You!" she spat out in surprise her voice rising. He smiled wickedly down at her, before circling her, studying her features.
" Yes me. Nice dress, but does it come with shoes?" he asked her sarcastically.
" They're out in my speeder. Very painful to wear. So what are you doing here? Misfortunate luck, or are you stalking me?" she said bitterly. He smirked, but it seemed to not be a real smile.
" I was actually here before you came, so the question is, are you stalking me?" she raised an eyebrow at him, silently questioning if he was an idiot. Mara just shook her head in annoyance and tried to leave, but Luke stepped in front of her and blocked her exit.
" What!" she said exasperately.
" Something's bothering you. What's wrong?" he had an almost caring look in his blue eyes. She huffed and averted her eyes, focussing on a mark on the floor tiles.
" What do you care? It's nothing." His hand cupped her cheek, and Mara felt as though he was looking into her, seeing things she tried to hide.
" It's not nothing if it's bothering you. Besides I'm willing to listen, and I doubt Darren is." Her face jerked away from his touch and her eyes grew hard.
" What makes you think I would tell Darren! It's none of his business. And none of yours for that matter." she bit out, harsh emotion filling her words.
" Alright then, chill. You need to do something busy right now. Something that would take your mind off of it. Like a party." He spoke casually acting as though it just so happened to come to mind.
" A party?" Mara said skeptically, her voice unsure. He nodded in agreement.
" Yeah, it's at Han's place. It already started, ends whenever you can actually get up to let yourself out. So what do you think? Want to come relieve some tension at a party?" she was silent for a few minutes before she finally spoke.
" Alright, but only because I have nothing better to do. Make sure word doesn't get out that I actually went after, or my butt is history." he smiled and bowed his head.
" And what a nice butt it is too. You have my word. Shall we exit now?" she nodded and followed him outside to the parking lot. Parting ways to get to their speeders, she then followed behind him as they flew through the streets of Coruscant.

Han Solo's apartment was about thirty minutes from the club they were just at, a suite like hers, but not as grand. People were laughing outside when they pulled up, some smoking, others vomitting in the holographic hedges that lined the building. Mara undid her hair from the bun it was in before stepping out of her speeder, joining Luke as they walked inside of the building.
She recognized all of the members of the Lightsiders, drinking and dancing, though most were making out or were extremely close in some way to the members of the opposite sex. Mara continued to walk by Luke's side as they approached a sort of clearing. Leia Skywalker was sitting in Han Solo's lap, Tionne and Kam making out beside them, and Lando standing behind the couch, a drink in hand, laughing loudly.
" Dude, you brought an Imperial to the party. If your selection of dates was that bad, then you're losing an appealing quality." Han said, stirring a riot of laughs among the group. Luke glared sternly at Han, and then smiled bitterly.
" Why is my sister on your lap?" Han paled but Leia just snuggled closer, in spite of her brother.
"I'm not his date. I'm just bored and have nothing better to do at midnight." Mara said bitterly. Tionne skirked nastily at her, pausing from her makeout session.
" What, you mean you don't have some kind of weird coven meeting to attend?"Stepping closer to the girl intimidatingly, Mara smiled grimly. Tionne backed away from her in an inner fear.
" No, only on Saturday nights. Are you afraid I'm going to put a hex on you?" Tionne's eyes were wide, but she was able to shake her head. Mara backed away from her and acted peppy.
" Good, because I'm not a witch. Though I was telling the truth, we Imperials do usually get together on Saturday nights. Now if you don't want me here, just say so. It's your house, your party, and if I'm not wanted here, I'll leave." she had then turned to Han, speaking briskly and standing up tall.
He shrugged his shoulders carelessy.
" I honestly don't give a damn. I haven't formed an unbearable hate for you yet, so you can use this opportunity to form it within me. Have fun." he said smiling, raising his cup to her before drinking. She bowed her head in thanks.
" Thank you." Han began to choke while drinking, his eyes wide. He wiped his mouth on his sleeve before stuttering out the words he was thinking.
" Holy crap! An Imperial just thanked me. Am I going to die? Is this a bad omen, or a good one? Oh shit I'm going to have a heartattack. Must breathe." he was slightly hyperventalating by the time Luke came back with two drinks in his hands.
" Luke, I highly doubt she's going to actually drink that. She's just a baby." Lando said smirking. But his smug expression drained away into shock as she grabbed the drink from his hand and began to drink it down in just a few swallows.
" If you keep drinking like that, you're going to have an extremely horible headache tomorow morning." Lando said in awe. Kam found his voice.
" But you're just a little thing, how the hell do you manage to drink like that?" Mara raised an eyebrow and laughed at all of their expressions.
" Not the first time I've drinken alcohol."
Han signalled to one of the guys standing around.
" Yo Gavin, can you go get the bottle of whiskey from off the counter and bring it here." Gavin nodded and returned a few minutes later with a full and large bottle of golden liquid.
" Ok, now this stuff is stronger than what you were just drinking. I want to see how you handle this." she handed him her cup and watched as he filled about a quarter of the cup with the alcohol. He handed her back the cup, and the group's attention was set on her as she downed the drink just as she had done before. Mara smirked as she handed him back her cup to refill.
" If you keep that up you'll be trying to go swimming in your underwear by the end of the night." Leia said. Mara smiled into her cup before answering the remark.
" No, I'm afraid alcohol has no effect on me, though I wish it did. It kinda sucks seeing your friends do stupid stuff when you've drunk just as much as they have and nothing whatsoever." She took a normal sip from the cup in her hands. The group was silent for a few moments before Lando looked around wickedly.
" Hey, I have an idea. Let's play Truth or Dare, shots style. Anytime you pick Truth, you have to take a shot of whiskey. So what do you say?" a murmur of agreements filled the surrounding area, and soon Mara Jade found herself sitting on the ground in a circle along with the other six people, a bottle and shot glass in the middle. Han started.
" Ok, Lando, Truth or Dare?" Lando squinted his eyes in thought before answering.
" Um, Truth."
" Take a swig and then answer. How many girls have you slept with out of our gang?" Lando squinted his eyes again in concentration.
" Um, minus Leia and Callista, and then there was that chick Brianne, every other girl in our group." Mara's jaw dropped though everyone else seemed to not be too surprised by that fact.
" What! You're like a man whore. You've slept with that many girls?" Lando grinned and met her startled gaze.
" No, actually more. Why are you so surprised? How many people have you slept with?" everyone in the group was staring at her, and she seemed to lose her voice. Her cheeks began to burn as a blush spread on her face. Leia was tired of her not answering.
" How many? C'mon it's not like you're a virgin." The group all laughed slightly within their circle until Leia noticed Mara's face was bright red.
" Oh my God! You are a virgin. That is like so cute." Tionne nodded her head, sighing loudly to herself.
" Yeah, I like lost my virginity when I was twelve. I feel like such a whore, though, I will never be as bad as Leia." she laughed as Leia threw her empty cup across the circle at her. Mara was not as giddy as they were though, slightly discusted and disappointed infact.
" Don't your parents care about you sleeping around?" Luke answered for the rest of the circle.
" Our parents don't know. Plus, you think that my father didn't do that when he was our age." her voice was rough when she answered.
" What does your father have to do with you sleeping around?" he smiled at her as though she were an idiot.
" Well don't you like worship him and idol him because he was the best leader of the Imperials or something?" Mara rolled her eyes.
" No, I don't, most of the Imperials do though. We don't worship him, he's just greatly known, and not for being one of the best leaders, though he was. It was because he was the first to try to get out of the gang in history, plus the fact that he was one of the best leaders. You're his son, and you don't even know the tale that is so popular. I mean, I heard it when I was little. My father told it to me, when we lived on Naboo. And I have never even met him." Luke did not look happy with her pointing out the obvious fact, ad the group sat in silence until Lando started up their game again.
" Luke, truth or dare?" Luke grinned evilly at Lando and quickly said "dare".
" Alright, kiss the lights out of Mara." Though Lando spoke with a weird uphranism, Luke knew what his friend meant. Getting to his feet, he then pulled a very reluctant Mara up beside him. He tilted her chin up and then pressed his lips to hers, and she squealed beneath his mouth as the kiss got deeper. On instinct, her arms wrapped loosely around his neck as the kiss grew more passionate. The world was a kalydascope before her as he continued to overwhelm her with the intense kiss. It felt like they had been doing this for hours, and her head was extremely light. She felt faint, and he arms fell to her sides from around his neck, her body limp in his hold. He finally pulled away and laughed as she still had her eyes closed, her form still collapsed in his arms.
" I think you killed her mate." Lando said, and laughed as her eyes fluttered open and she stumbled to her feet, her balance off. Mara placed a hand on her forehead, and breathed in deeply.
" I really need to go home now. Uh, the party was fun, I think. Thanks for the alcohol." she closed her eyes and turned around to head for the door, her bare feet stumbling on the carpet.
" You sure you're ok to drive?" Luke said. She laughed out loud and met his gaze for a second.
" Honestly, I'm less drunk than any of you. Plus I don't want you knowing where I live." he smirked to himself, shaking his head.
" Afraid I'll sneak up on you when you're home alone?"
" Actually, no. I was thinking of you bombing me, but that too." she waved and walked out to her speeder, sighing in the silence once she had climbed inside.
A/N: Ok, so how is it? I hope you like it. I won't be able to update as much soon because school starts Tuesday. But I've decided that instead of waiting until I'm done with this fic, I'll write the parent's story now. Please review. Lots 'O' Love- Ishbu girl.
