Author's Note: Ok so here is this chapter! I am sorry if it comes out late! My classes started on the first day I am writing this so I don't know how my week is going to turn out! I will try my hardest to have a schedule and not mess it up. And this will not be in anyone's point of you (Well in the beginning), and it will be like a bit of a back story to your favorite character in this... Bea! Well, Bea and Lux's friendship! (I found a perfect song for this so that is why I am making this) ON WITH THE FIC!

A young Lux was in his backyard playing in the dirt, his mother came out to sit in the gazebo then found her son.
"Lux Eros Bonteri!" An angry Mina said, sitting down her tea on the set, and coming towards her son.
"Oh, Mum…" Lux said coming over to his mother.
"What the force are you doing?"
I was just playing with Nuray." He gave an innocent smile.
"And where is Nuray?" Mina asked with an eyebrow raised.
"I am right here, Mrs. Bonteri." A young boy with a black eye rises from the dirt to Lux.
"Oh, my! Nuray what happened to your eye?" Mina asked the blood leaving her face trying to get a closer look at it.
"Oh, me and Lux were playing Jedi and sith… Lux won." The little five-year-old said, looking at Mina. Lux quickly punched his arm.
"No, you fell, remember!?" Lux gave Nuray a threatening look.
"Yeah, yeah… I think I heard my mother, so I gotta-" He ran out of the yard. Lux started walking toward the back door when Mina stopped him and looked at him.
"You're in trouble, mister," Mina said looking at her young son.
"Mum, that's how boys play. I am sure he's fine."
"Lux, we are not like other people. You are the son of a senator, you have to start acting like it."
"Mum, you have to listen. That's how boys play!"
"Well, you should start having friends that are girls," Mina said with a smirk on her face.
"No! Girls are icky!" He exclaimed while he scrunched his nose.
"Well, I need you to get ready."
"Why?" Little Lux tilled his baby head.
"We are getting more staff. And they have a daughter, so I need you to play with her."
"So, I need to wash and be nice?"
"Yes. You catch on well." She patted his head. "You are still in trouble." She said as she got her tea and walked back into her house.
"Dang it!" He walked into the house.

An Hour Later…
(Bea's POV)
"Momma, Daddy?" I look at my parents, they look down to me.
"Yes, Fifi?" My mum asked.
"Why are we moving here? Onderon is pretty, but I miss Naboo!" I scream tears in the corners of my eyes. My parents stop and kneel to my level.
"Phoebe, your father and I got a job that makes us have to be here. I know you miss your friends but you will make new ones here. I promise." Mom said, smiling at me.
"Ok, momma… I trust you."
"That's my girl!" She said kissing me on my cheek and rose to continue walkin' to wear their new jobs are.
"Well, I hear they have a son," Dad said, with a smile.
"Ok, and?"
"You two could be friends." Mom said looking at me.
"No! Boys are gross!" I yelled, my parents chuckled.
"Well, ok then. But I did say you two would play when we meet them."
"But Mum-"
"Phoebe, you are a big girl. Big girls don't whine, right?"
"No, they don't."
"Ok well, here we are," Dad says I look up… That's no house, it's a palace! "Come on, Phoebe."
"I'm coming!"
Daddy knocks on the door and a maid opens it. She looks kind. Wait, will we be living here? 'Cause you could fit 100,000,000,00 people in here! I look around in awe, then I hear a soft laugh. I looked down then I saw a fancy looking man and woman. They were quietly laughing, Are they laughing at me? Oh, I hope not!
"You must be Ackdools, I am Izar and this is my wife Mina, and my little boy Lux." The tall man said. I looked for the boy but to no avail, I could not spot him. Then I looked at his mother and saw an outline of a small boy. That must be Lux!
"Well, I am Namid, this is my husband Boz and the little girl right here is Phoebe, our daughter."
"Hello, young one." The woman says looking at me I get nervous.
"H-hello, M-milady." I give a little bow.
"There is no need for that, dear. Oi, why don't you play with Lux while the grown-ups are talking." Mina gestured to Lux to go outside and play with me. He stepped out so I could see his face and… I wanna marry this fool! He is so handsome…
"Come with me," Lux said, with his hand out. I took it and led me to his backyard.
"So what do you wanna do?" He asked me, looking a little annoyed.
"Well, we could play- no…" I blush, I look to the side. He would think it's lame.
"What? What do you want to play?" He looked a bit shocked with a hint of relief
"Jedi and Sith…" I managed to squeak out still looking to the side, face as red as my hair.
"You like games like that?"
"I know it's nerdy, but I like it…" I said timidly.
"Who says that is nerdy?"
"My-my friends on Naboo."
"Well, may I be the first one to welcome you to your new home, Onderon. We're all nerds here!" Lux said, moving my head to look at him. "Also I have fake lightsabers!" He let go of me.
"Shut up!"
"No!" He looked mad.
"No, that means like cool," I reassured him, he changed back to his bubbly self.
"Oh, you talk weirdly."
"No, you do. You have a weird voice, say, mom." I said with sass.
"Mum."
"No, no, mOm."
"Mum." He says as he starts to laugh I do the same.
"I am Phoebe. But, you probably heard my mOm say that."
"Phoebe… too long! I will call you… Bea!"
"Bea… Bea… I like that."
(o-o)
(5 years later)
"Lux! Give me back my shoe!" I yell at him chasing him around his house.
"Oh, come on Bea!"
"You're telling me to come on? Lux, you have my shoe!"
"Touche, man, you are a philosopher," Lux said now running backward so he could taunt me even more than he was doing before.
"Shut up! Give me my shoe! Come on, Lux." I yelled as Lux came to a stop, I tried to stop running but I ran right into him, he fell on the floor and I did the same, I accidentally was on top of Lux. My arms support all of my weight on right and left on the floor with Lux's head in the middle.
"Well, Hello there."
"Oh, uh." I quickly got off of him, my face turned red! Push out the dirty thought, push it out! I turned away from him.
"Bea? Are you ok?"
"Y-yeah! Yes! Of course! I am fine." I say lying threw my teeth and he knows it too. He puts a hand on my shoulder after we stand up.
"Bea, I have known you forever, I know when you are lying to me."
"No, no I am fine, Lux."
"You're telling the truth?" Lux looked at me, still not believing me, I nod and give a fake smile.
"Duh." I give in a hurt tone.
"You are the greatest best friend a guy can have, you know that right?" He said then hugged me.
"I try," I said quickly, and I start to walk away.
"Bea, where are you going?"
"I need to go home… I have to make dinner." I said coldly putting on the shoe Lux took from me.
"Aren't your parents both cooks?"
"Yes. But they are going out tonight right after they are done here."
"They let you be home alone? You are only ten."
"Yes, but I can cook and they need a nice night for themselves," I said heading for the door. Lux quickly hugged me so tight it knocked the wind out of me. I was breathing heavily, trying to not hyperventilate.
"Bye Bea-Bea! And sorry."
"Bye Lux ol' boy, and it's fine."
I walk out of the door. That was close! Phoebe, why do you have to have a huge crush on your best friend/ son of my parent's employer! Well, he is kind, smart, attractive, funny, and- Shut the kriff up Phoebe!

This song is coming together nicely, just need to add the last note… I know! I type it on the computer and play the instrumental. The guitar comes in.
"Ooh, Ooh. Why you gotta hug me like that
Every time you see me?
Why you always making me laugh?
Swear you're catching feelings…"
I sang with passion in my voice, it happens even if I think of him now.
"I loved you from the start
So it breaks my heart"
Remembering the first day she met Lux and how much fun they had, knowing as far back as then that she loved him… Well it has gotten worse as the years went on.
"When you say I'm just a friend to you
'Cause friends don't do the things we do
Everybody knows you love me too
Tryna be careful with the words I use
I say it 'cause I'm dying to
I'm so much more than just a friend to you"
She sang remembering the time when she fell asleep on his shoulder and woke up to a dark screen on the holo and a sleeping Lux right next to her.
"When there's other people around
You never wanna kiss me
You tell me it's too late to hang out
And you say you miss me"
Jeez, these lyrics are so good! Good job me! Man, I wish he would kiss me! But he also has not kissed anyone before so I bet I will be the first! I pray…
"And I loved you from the start
So it breaks my heart"
"When you say I'm just a friend to you
'Cause friends don't do the things we do
Everybody knows you love me too
Tryna be careful with the words I use
I say it 'cause I'm dying to
I'm so much more than just a friend to you"
I sing softly. Tears are coming in the corners of my eyes while I just picture Lux in my brain.
"You...
You...
You...
You…"
"You say I'm just a friend to you
Friends don't do the things we do
Everybody knows you love me too
I tried to be careful with the words I use
I say it 'cause I'm dying to
I'm so much more than just a friend to you"
"A friend to you
A friend to you
A friend to you…"
The song ends then I hear clapping. I open my eyes expecting to see mom or dad but then see "Lux."
"Wow. Who wrote that song? I have never heard it." Lux said leaning on my door frame.
"Uh… I wrote it." I said quietly the thought. "How long were you standing there?"
"First: You kriffing wrote that! Where did you get the idea? Who is this mystery guy?" Lux said then sat on my bed with me.
"Uh…. I got the idea off a show I watched… yeah." I lied. I was sweating hoping he could not tell I was lying.
"Cool. And I was there for like most of the song… you were very passionate when you were singing like the song had meaning to you." Lux said passive aggressively, calling my bluff.
"Well, I really love that show, so yeah. Anyway why are you here?" I asked.
"Well, father is off again on another mission." Lux said then sighed looking sad.
"Where is he going?"
"Aargonar. He should be there in a few days…"
"Well at least the Republic is far from there, and the Jedi…" I say confting Lux.
"The Jedi." Lux says coldly.
"It's funny, when we were young the Jedi were praised and loved. We even pretend we were Jedi… but then they became soldiers not-"
"The keepers of the peace that they say they are." Lux cuts me off.
"Yeah… killing people. How can they keep the peace if they are causing chaos in war?" I ask sarcastically.
"I don't know." Lux said, full of sorrow.
"You know, one day I was reading and it said a Jedi is having an affair with a Senator." I said bluntly, Lux's face read shocked all over it.
"Witch Jedi?"
"Anakin Skywalker."
"I could have guessed. That guy is the devil in disguise! And a real hater de sable!" Lux said almost yelling.
"I know! You know he has a padawan."
"Ugh another link in the universe's worst chain."
"Amen!" I laughed, after a minute the laughter died down into an awkward silence. "So, the festival is this week, wanna go with me?"
"Duh, we always go together!" Lux said punching my arm.
"Yeah, but this year do you maybe wanna go with me as a-" I was saying but then was interrupted.
"Honey, it's dinner time!" I heard my mom call.
"Oh, you better go, then. We will talk later, wanna come after uh... say in, two standard hours?" I ask.
"No, that;s too late to hang out. But, I will miss you." He said hugging me bye. "Plus I will just see you in the morning right?"
"No, I have a job interview. But we can hang right after."
"Where is your interview taking place?"
"Your house." I said, Lux chuckled.
"Well, then I will see you later, my lady." He says with a bow. Proper as always.
"M'lord." I curtsy, we both laugh. Then he leaves into the unknown…
(o-o)
(11 months later)
"I miss this." Lux and I were laying on top of his bed just talking when he got quiet and just looked at me.
e finally said with a smile on his face.
"You miss what?" I sat up so I could look at him on the other side of his bed.
"This. Just us hanging out. I miss it." He said softly.
"I miss it too…" I smile.
"I'm sorry if I have been distant from you for these last few months… I just miss him. I didn't realize that I was pushing everyone away… And I didn't realize by doing that I was missing everyone one else."
"Wow, you have a way with words." I say not thinking about what I said until after I said it… Kriff! I said that out loud! I am dead! I have been killed! LUX KNOWS!
"What did you say?"
"NOTHING!" I quickly say.
"Ok,ok be secretive."
"No, I promise it's nothing." I say quietly, then all of a sudden Lux starts laughing to himself. "What?" I ask.
"You really sound like you're from Onderon." He said, still containing laughter.
"No, I do not." I said, listening to my voice as I am talking.
"Yes! Ok say how you say mum."
"Ok, mum." I said with full contents that I said mOm and not mUm.
"Ok, you are not from Naboo anymore. You are now, Onderonain."
"Shut up." I push him off of his bed.
"Hey!" He said as he took a pillow and threw it at me.
We proceed for like five minutes hitting each other with pillows until-
"Phoebe, I thought I told you to work cooking with your parents." I turned around seeing a one Mina Bonteri looking at Lux and I. I got up and bowed down.
"I am sorry m'lady, I will get to it." I said as I walked to the door frame turners bowed again. "Lord Bonteri, Sentor." I stand straight up and head towards the kitchen.
(o-o)
A/N: Hey everyone! Thank you for reading this chapter! I am sorry that this was about Bea and Lux. I thought I should make their relationship be as well written as Lux and Ahsoka. And they both are not that great, but hey I am trying my hardest! The song is by Meghan Trainor. Anyway, love you! And may the force be with you!
P.S. Hi, this is my future me! So on a sad note at 12:00 a.m. I got a text from my mom that Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther) died from cancer. And I just wanted him to be mentioned because well I loved Black Panther and I feel sad when anyone dies so just pray for him and his family. May the force be with them through this hard, hard time.
