What is happening? My family have turned against me. Padme is here. And then Satine asks me out for dinner tonight. I think to myself. Come to think of it I haven't had a chance to sit down and think about the last 24 hours. I sit and ponder until my office doors open.

"Am I interrupting something?"

I sit and think for a second more,

"Em, no no it's nothing Satine. How did your meeting go with Padme?"

"Yes it was good. We have set a date for Padme to Mandalore. Anyway about tonight". She pauses. "I was thinking about maybe about going to the Skysitter Restaurant?"

"Hm. Yeah that sounds perfect. Tonight at 7?" I say trying to sound interested.

"Fraser are you okay? You seem distracted".

"What?"

Satine gives me pleading eyes to tell her what is wrong. I mean I've only known the woman for a few hours. I feel like I can talk to her about anything.

"I said you seem distracted. Which you clearly are".

"Satine, I really want to go to dinner and get to know you but I've had one hell of a ride in the last 24 hours. I mean so much has happened. I just need to tell someone about it or I'm going to scream".

"Right, give me 5 minutes". Says Satine.

As she starts walking out of my office. I start thinking Oh great I've scared her off. Nice going Fraser. Well done. 10 out of 10. I was about to put on my military jacket and start heading home. When Satine comes into my office again carrying a bottle of red wine in her hand.

"Going somewhere?"

"I thought I scared you off with my speech of one hell of a ride. But thankfully not."

"Hm. Quite the charmer, Padme did say that about you". Giving me a smirk.

"Did she?"

"Yes. She did. But however, We aren't here to talk about Senator Amidala".

"No, we aren't this way my lady."

I bow and hold out my hand to Satine. She accepts and I lead her to my sofa. I help her sit down and go and grab two glasses from my cupboard. I open up the wine and pour the wine into two glasses and hand one to Satine.

"Thank you. So Fraser, tell me about your one hell of a ride".

"Right were to begin". I ponder for a moment then I get it.

"I was sent to the front. I had to defend my home town from the enemy. I did that successfully, however, I lost a great deal of men that day. I then found out that Scotland had aliened themselves with the Separatists and I had to pledge my Allegiance to them or I would be killed. When I got to the palace I saw my father standing there looking at me like I was nothing. You see it was always my big sister Jane who would stick up for me no matter what, my father believed I was a disgrace to the Broadfoot name as I wasn't married or an officer".

I take a gulp of my wine and continue,

"When my father did talk to me he would always, always use a tone of you will obey me or you will be punished. My father demanded that I join the Separatists, however, I refused and came to the Republic. Then I pledged allegiance and that's that. Like I said one hell of a ride. Oh and my family has disowned me and they are trying to kill me. Yeah, I think that's it".

I down my drink and pour myself another glass of wine. I'm about to start drinking it when Satine speaks.

"Your family is apart of the Separatists and you joined the Republic knowing that they would become the enemy?" Satine asks angrily

I'm about to answer but Satine's on a roll,

"Uh, really Fraser really? Surely you must be able to negonate peace terms with your family?"

"Satine, look my family isn't one of those family that you can just turn around to and be like, eh you know let's be friends. Okay they are not. They are more like the families of, I will kill you, love you".

I down my other glass of wine and pour myself a bigger glass and I down that one straight after. The room starts to spin around me. Suddenly I have this new found courage, to speak to Satine.

"Satine, are you married?"

"What? Why are you asking me that? Fraser how much have you had to drink?"

As she is speaking I finish my drink and pour myself another one.

"It's just a question, because for someone as beautiful as you, you just be married. If your aren't then you can marry me. How does that sound? I think that sounds pretty good, eh?" I say with a drunken tone to my voice.

"Fraser I think that's enough drinking for you tonight".

Satine tries to grab my cup from my hand but fails, her hand lands on my wound. I let out a groan.

"I'm so sorry. Fraser I didn't mean to do that".

I'm sobering up now.

"It's okay it's just a wound that I forgot to go and get checked out".

"Well let me see it, I can tend the wound".

"Nah it's cool I can just wait until the morning to go and check it out". I say trying not to blush.

"Fraser let me see the wound it could be infected".

"Okay"

I start unbuttoning my shirt and take it off, and I then start un-wrapping my bandage. I start groaning as I'm un-wrapping the bandage. Once the bandage is off, I look at the wound, it's still bleeding. It's a long cut against my right side.

"Is that a lightsaber wound?"

"Eh yeah, I was Count Dooku's gift to me for not joining the Seps". I say sounding proud of myself.

"Why are you proud of that? Fraser you are fighting your family in a war that is unjustified. The men that are going into battle are dying for what? Can you tell me?"

"I'm proud that I signed up Satine to fight the Separatists. And you're right I am fighting my family, they are cowards and traitors in my opinion because they didn't stand up for what they believe in or at least what I thought they believed in. The men that are dying are making the ultimate sacrifice okay their deaths mean something that they fought against the evils of the Separatists and they are leading the way for the Republic to win the war and bring peace to the Galaxy. Now, Satine that is what they are dying for".

"Ha. Spoken like a true soldier. So you would die in this war? Since it will "lead the way for the Republic to win the war and bring peace to the Galaxy". Satine says the last part as myself.

"Yes I would if it brought the war to a quicker end".

"There is just no getting through to you is there? You have a answer for everything. I thought you were different". Satine says with bitterness.

"Satine, I'm not a Jedi. I have a moral code I'm not one of these soldiers that kill for fun and rape women because I'm away on duty. I want to help people, now that's what a soldier does. As well as a Sentor or a Duchess, they help their people".

I sit there for a moment, I've something else to say but Satine doesn't let me. Instead, she grabs my neck and starts kissing me, I'm startled for a moment but Satine is exploring my mouth as I ease into the kiss and close my eyes. My hands find themselves on Satine's waist as I lift her on top of me, so she is sitting on my lap. The kiss intensifies as I pull away from Satine's lips, she gives me a confused look as I turn my head and I make my way for her neck,

"Fraser?"

I start kissing her neck and start nibbling on her neck. I hear Satine moaning, which makes me keep going. I move away from her neck and I start making my way up to her lips, this time I'm able to explore her mouth. I feel Satine's hands run through my brown hair. As we keep kissing each other, my comm goes off.

"General Broadfoot, you have to report to the war room immediately". A clone says.

Satine pulls back, but I wrap my arms around her neck and pull her back into a passionate kiss. Satine tries to talk in between the kiss,

"You n-" I kiss her again. "n-need to-" another kiss "go and" and another kiss until Satine pushes me away at arms length,

"You need to go and get to the war room. Okay?"

"But-"

"No buts, duty calls Fraser my dear duty calls".

"Right fine". I say sounding deflated, as i'm about to leave my office Satine pulls me back and pecks me on the lips,

"We need to get you all nice and presentable for the meeting".

"Satine, I'm perfectly presentable okay? I can dress myself".

Satine drags me over to a full length mirror, I see what she means, my hair is all over the place and my uniform is all over the place and I look at my lips they are swollen with me kissing Satine so much and yes I've got lipstick all over me.

I clear my throat, "I know what you mean".

"General come in you are needed in the war room". I hear my comm go off again,

"I'll be there in 5 minutes okay".

"Of course, General". The clone cuts off the transmission.

Satine starts fixing my uniform and starts straighting it up and I'm fixing my hair. I manage to get my hair into a right side quiff. Satine is still fixing my uniform, I start wiping off the lipstick off my face. Just as I'm finishing cleaning my face, Satine finsihes my uniform.

"Done".

"Thanks Satine, I'd better go, but before I go"

I pull Satine in and give her a kiss on the lips. She giggles and pushes me away.

"Right, now go". Satine says whist laughing. She starts pushing me out of my office,

"You do realize, this is my office and your kicking me out of it?"

"Fraser get going". She says as she finally pushes me out into the hallway.

She stands in my office looking at me with her hands on her hips, my eyes wonder down to her hips,

"Eyes up". As she brings her hand under my chin and pushes my head up to face her. A couple of soldiers go past us. We put on a professional front,

"Duchess".

"General".

I make my way down to the war room, I walk in the room I see 3 Jedi, Obi Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano.

"Why were you late General Broadfoot?" Obi Wan asks me.

"Sorry Master Jedi, I was um, lost and um, I had to ask for directions. It won't happen again".

"Right let's get started. As you all know the Separatists have droid building factories in the Geonosis, Poggle the Lesser has aliened himself with Count Dooku. Now if we are going to take back Geonosis and destroy these factories we will need all of firepower. Now Generals Kenobi, Mundi, Broadfoot and myself will lead the attack and we will have 3 cruisers as reinforcements in case something goes wrong, I trust that Master Luminara is our reinforcements. We will leave at daylight tomorrow". Says Anakin Skywalker.

As we start to leave the war room Obi Wan calls me to stay behind.

"General, we believe that one of your family members may be leading the attack in space. Does Jane Broadfoot sound familiar?"

"Yes, em, how do I put this, uh, she is my sister".

"What?!"

"But don't worry, I won't let my feeling over cloud my judgement. I would like to request to lead the attack in space and not on the ground".

"I will inform the Jedi Council about this. Good day, General Broadfoot".

"Good day, Master Jedi".

I start to make my way to the Senate. I show my ID to the guards and they let me in. I start walking to Padme's office. I reach her door within a few minutes. I stand at the door and knock waiting for a response.

"Yes?"

"It's General Broadfoot, my lady".

"Come in".

As I walk in Padme looks up at me from her screen and gives me a concerned look.

"So what happened between you and the Duchess?". Says Padme in a cheeky tone.

I start blushing when Padme mentions Satine. I start rubbing the back of my neck.

"Nothing really we just em sat and talked about stuff you just the normal stuff". I say trying to play it cool.

"Hm. That's not what I heard, I was told that you were drinking and I believe you asked if the Duchess was married? And then one thing lead to another and the next thing that happened is that Satine was on top of you, kissing you? Or have I been misinformed?"

"Satine?"

"Satine".

"Padme, look I really like her and I don't want to mess up okay I got a wee bit drunk and I asked a bad question okay? And me kissing Satine, yeah I did because she is beautiful, and her hips and her tongue. Ugh Padme, I just want to marry her, right now. And then I find out that Jane is fighting in the same battle as me. Then, I find out again that I have to attend war meetings. Why Padme? Why?" As I say why as I take a the seat on the different side of Padme's desk facing her.

"Fraser, I think you should marry Satine, I know you've just met her but if you feel this way then marry her. Wait Jane? Jane is in the Army now? I thought she was against the Army after what they did to your family? And sweetheart you always had to attend you just didn't".

"Really? And yes Jane is in the Army, it's because of Frankie he went and joined the Army when Scotland was having talks with the Separatists. They said they would bring honor back to those families that went to jail for no reason during the War on Scotland. So Frankie signed up as well as Jane. She is going to be taking part in the battle for Geonosis, which I am a part of, she is going to be leading the space battle and I have request to lead the Republic's space battle as well". I say Frankie's name with anger.

"Fraser is leading the space battle really a good idea if Jane is on the other side?"

"Yes, yes it is Padme. And I'm going to ask Satine to marry me. I better do it now as i leave at daylight tomorrow. Bye Padme and thanks". I get up off my chair and hug her, as I hug her, Anakin Skywalker comes in,

"What's going on here?" He says in an anger tone.

"Nothing Master Jedi, Padme was giving me some really good advice. Plus I was just leaving". I bow my head and exit.

"I want you to stay away from him Padme". Anakin says.

"Come on. Are you jealous?".

"No, I'm not".

"Well come here then". Padme says and Anakin and Padme start kissing each other.

"Satine, I mean Duchess". I shout down the hallway as I'm running to her in a busy Republic Senate.

"General Broadfoot, what's got you in a hurry?"

"May I speak with you in private?" I say between breathes.

"Yes of course." Satine motions her guards away.

"No not out here, maybe in my office?". I say finally catching my breath.

Satine's voice goes down to a whisper, "Do you remember what happened in your office? I mean I would love to have another performance but I don't have the time today maybe tomorrow?"

"No Satine it has to be today." I say as I drag her to my office.

"Right okay, Fraser I'm here. Now what was so important?" Satine says a bit annoyed.

"Right um how do I do this?" I say to myself.

"Satine, I know I've just met you but you are the most kind and caring woman I have ever met and not to mention your beautiful surpasses every other woman's. And I also know we have our different views of the war but I don't care about that, Satine, I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you no matter how short or long it is. I want to know when I'm away at the front I know that you are mine and I am yours. So Duchess Satine Kryze of Mandalore, will you marry me?" I say.

"Fraser, I can't marry a soldier. It goes against everything I stand for. If I marry you then, the people we see me as a hypocrite and I promised them I would never be that".

"No one has to no then. Satine I love you. I'm going away to battle and I wanted to let you know that I love you and I want to marry you. So?"
