AN: Hello my Dear Readers! I cannot tell you how excited I am for this arc! I have been planning these next few chapters for months and here they finally are! For ProphetessMInty, here's the chapter you've been waiting for!

Rex knocked on the door to his friend's chambers.

"Enter."

"Cody."
"Rex."
The two brothers grasped their arms tightly and slapped each other on the shoulder.

"Did you get it?" Cody asked with a knowing smile

Rex removed a small package from his belt pouch. "Right here. I picked it up before we left Naboo."

"It's a beauty, for sure." Cody examined the contents of the box "When are you going to do it?"

"Soon." Cody returned the box and Rex stored it again "I want to talk to some people first."

Cody laughed "You know Rex, we're mandalorians, most of us just go about this the mandalorian way, not the civie way."

"I know vod, and normally I don't think she'd mind but I want to be respectful towards her family now that they're back in her life. I also want to have the General's respect in all of this too; he's just as much her family and my friend." Rex crossed his arms seriously

"I admire how much thought you've put into this. She's a special girl, Rex, you're lucky to have her." Cody clapped his friend's shoulder again

"Thank you for helping me, Cody, I couldn't have done this without you."

"Of course Rex, that's what vode are for." As Rex left the room he added wryly "And good luck with General Skywalker."

Captain Rex of the 501st had faced hordes of battle droids, blaster wounds, crashed ships, and way too many close calls; but the thought of the conversations he was about to have made him a bit weak in the knees. When Anakin opened the door and called him in, he took a deep breath and straightened his back.

"Sir, I want to ask you an important question."

"About what Captain?" Anakin seemed at ease which made Rex more at ease about asking.

"Sir, I want to have your permission" He took a steading breath "to marry Ahsoka."

There was silence in room for a few moments while Anakin processed the request and for Rex to waiting seemingly stoically for an answer. In reality Rex was sweating buckets under his armor. Anakin leaned forward and rested his arms on his knees.

"You want to marry Ahsoka." It was a statement more than a question

"Yes sir."

"She's a little young to be married don't you think?" The question wasn't said with malice but more curiosity

"With all due respect Sir, she's nearly 19, and we've been openly dating for year, and really even longer than that." Rex took another breath and held Anakin's gaze. "Ahsoka is one of the most mature people I know and I feel like the time is right, for both of us."

Anakin nodded "And why are you asking me?"

"You are Ahsoka's Master, my general, and our friend. I wanted everyone important to be involved." Rex stated confidently

"I appreciate the thought you put into this, I can tell you really want to do this right." Anakin stood up "I give you my permission to marry Ahsoka." The two firmly shook hands

Rex was surprised when the conversation with Anakin Skywalker went better than expected. He found out later through Cody that both the Senator Amidala and General Kenobi had already talked to him about it. The next stop was Ahsoka's family, and a lucky break caught Ahsoka's oldest sister Elsie before she headed back to Shili.

"Captain Rex, what a pleasant surprise!" Elsie slid opened her apartment door fully to allow Rex to enter "What can I do for you? Is everything alright with Ahsoka?"

"Yes ma'am, everything is fine. I came to ask you and your family something."

"You can call me Elsie." The older Togruta sat down on the couch "Now, what is the question?"
Rex sat down stiffly "I want to ask your family's permission to marry Ahsoka."

Elsie gasped and a hand flew over her mouth "Marry Ahsoka?"

Rex nodded "Oh my gosh! I never thought I'd see the day my little sister got married before me!"

Elsie clapped her hands excitedly "I'm totally okay with you marrying my sister! And I know the rest of our family would be excited to welcome you into it!"

She stood up and hugged a surprised Rex "I am so happy for you two! When do you plan on asking her?"

Rex cleared his throat "I'm taking her out for her birthday and I plan to ask her then."

"I can't wait to hear the good news!"

Rex took a deep breath once he stepped outside the door. Now for the final question.

Ahsoka stood in the bathroom of her and Anakin's shared temple quarters. She added a dash of lipstick to her lips; wondering why her sister had told her to put in extra care for her birthday date with Rex. She wore a long, blue dress that matched her montrals which Padma bought for her and faint traces of makeup on her face. Ahsoka sprayed a light misting of the perfume all of Torrent had bought her for her birthday on her neck. And of course tucked her shoto into the clutch that matched her purse. Leaving the bathroom, Ahsoka sat on the couch to await her date.

Rex was headed through the temple to pick up Ahsoka for her birthday date; he had made reservations at a nice, quiet restaurant, known for its shillian cuisine. He was dressed in black pants, a white shirt and black jacket, most of which was borrowed from other brothers. His hair been neatly trimmed and bleached, and his dress uniform boots polished to a shine. He checked his pocket nervously once more for the precious box before knocking on Skywalker and Tano's chamber door.

The door slid open and Ahsoka took Rex's proffered arm as he lead them down to the waiting speeder.

"Happy Birthday, Cyar'ika."

"Thanks, Rexster! Where are we going tonight?" Ahsoka asked

"Mm. I thought we'd try that Shillian place tonight." He responded with a smile

Ahsoka entwined her fingers with his "You know how to spoil a girl on her birthday."

"Only the best for you, Cyar'ika." Rex kissed her cheek lightly and opened the speeder door for her to slip in.

The two enjoyed a nice dinner of Akul steaks and mashed root vegetables with a rich sauce and pleasant conversation. When dinner was finished, and dessert was to be brought out soon, Rex cleared his throat and quietly slipped the box out of his pocket. Ahsoka noticed the change in Rex but before she could question why, Rex had gripped her left hand gently and kneeled beside her.

"Ahsoka, I know I'm not one for many words, but when I'm with you, I have shereshoy and I want to have a mesh'la vencuyot with you as ner riduur. Ni kar'tayl gar darasuum, Ahsoka, will you marry me?"

Ahsoka covered her mouth in shock and her eyes started watering "Elek, Rexster" She whispered and leaned down and kissed him while the rest of the restaurant cheered.

Rex slipped the thin, rose gold band onto her left finger as the staff brought out sweet cake soaked in glaze and in white icing, the word "Congratulations" spelled out on the plate. Ahsoka could barely focus on her dessert, the shock of it all still settling in; Rex was just as happy, and watched her face flush with all the emotions. When they finished and paid for their check, dramatically reduced by the staff, the two took a leisurely stroll around the courtyard before going back and sharing the news. Ahsoka kept twirling the ring around her finger, admiring the shine and glint in the evening light.

"After we get married, I'm going to have three blue stones put in." Rex told her

"501st blue?" Ahsoka teased

"I was thinking more the blue of your montral stripes." Rex kissed her montral and smiled at her giggle.

"Thank you for doing this all for me." Ahsoka intertwined their hands "I know it's fairly untraditional for you."

"I think if there's one word that describes us and our relationship it's untraditional." Rex laughed

Ahsoka laughed too. "That's true; Jedi and Clone trooper…"
"Togruta and human…"
"Sassy and stoic…"
"Ah! So you admit you're sassy!" Rex grinned

"That's what you like best about me." Ahsoka kissed him and he kissed her back

When they broke the news to their family and friends, everyone was ecstatic. They told Anakin and Obi-Wan that night when they returned and Rex was congratulated with handshakes and Ahsoka with hugs. Ahsoka called her family the next morning and spent the next few hours recounting the night before and showing off the ring over the holo-com. Torrent and the 501st found out when Tup and Fives found Ahsoka admiring and twirling her ring around her finger then went off down the halls shouting the news while Rex and Ahsoka sat in the common room amusedly waiting for everyone to come looking for them. After talking with everyone, they decided the actual wedding ceremony would take place three months later.

AN: AAAAHHHH! What did you guys think? I wanted to tie in all the people that were important to Ahsoka and Rex into these chapters and also start to blend the different cultures. This is why they didn't just get married outright like a traditional mandalorian wedding. Stay tuned for the next few chapters! I have a lot planned! I am trying to write as much as I can before my surgery this week because right after I get my cast I am also starting my new job. Please bear with me as I try and balance everything, I don't want to keep you in permanent suspense, I promise! :) Please review, I'm still taking chapter requests!

Shereshoy-Lust for life

Mesh'la vencuyot-Beautiful future

Ner riduur- My wife

Ni kar'tayl gar darasuum- I love you
