Chapter 2

Sabine's P.O.V

I woke up, checking my phone to see what the time was. It was 9 am, and it sounded like Ezra was just waking up. "Morning, Bine." I heard Ezra say. I smiled at him when I turned on my side to face him and kissed him.

"What a handsome sight to wake up to." I said, kissing him again.

"What a beautiful sight to wake up to." he replied teasingly, kissing me. We kissed for a few minutes until we broke apart to breath. We got up to get changed, then we went downstairs for breakfast. After we ate breakfast, I decided to head home. "Want me to walk you over?" he asked. I smiled at that, kissing him.

"Please." I answered. I said goodbye to his parents, then we headed out the door. However, though I had what felt like the best rest of my life since I was sleeping in bed with my awesome boyfriend, I was really worried about how dad was going to react to all of this, again. This obviously wasn't the first time that I've defied him by going out with Ezra, but now that I actually slept over with him and I told dad about it last night, he's gonna be pissed when I come home. I just had that feeling that another heated argument about Ezra was gonna break out with him, and since mom's not coming home until 5 pm tonight, this one was probably going to be the most heated of them all, and that thought stayed with me as we walked over back to my house.

"What's wrong, Sabine?" Ezra asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.

I sighed. "I'm worried, Ezra. I'm worried about what's going to go down with my dad when I get home. I mean, I slept with you last night, and he knows since I told him over the phone last night, and now he's gonna pissed over me sleeping with you. But that's what lovers like us do, Ez, and my dad's clearly a dick about that. He's going to give the 'Mandalorian punishment' when I get home."

Ezra held my hand, my gaze fixing on him. "Look, I'm always here for you." he said. "If you want, since your dad has clearly never met me, how about I introduce myself formally to him to show him that I'm a good person?" That actually kinda sounded like a good suggestion, but yet, how will dad take it though?

"It sounds like a good suggestion, but I'm worried about how dad will take it. Who knows, maybe he'll take it for granted and he's really going to hate you even more. Besides, Ezra, he already hates you enough already."

"But if I prove myself, show him that I'm the opposite of what he thinks, maybe he'll cut the both of us some slack."

"We'll just see, Ez. My house is just down that road."

As we walked up to the front door of my house, I was really nervous. My dad was probably gonna cuss Ezra out in front of me, and loud enough to make this thing heard by our neighbors. God, I don't need Pre and Boba, our two Mandalorian neighbors, up on my case again after all the previous fights me and dad have gotten into where it was loud enough that the neighbors heard it all. I just had that feeling in my gut that shit was going to go so wrong here.

"It's okay. I'm here for you." Ezra assured me, giving me a kiss on my cheek. I kissed him back then inserted my house key. Just as I turned the key to open the door, dad was already at the entrance, just waiting for me.

"Oh, so you brought him home now?" he asked me angrily.

"Look, Mr. Wren, I know all the things that your daughter has been telling me about you claiming that I'm bad." Ezra said. "Well, that's false. I'm actually the opposite of what you think of me. I take care of my girlfriend in the best ways possible, and I'm always there for her. Besides, isn't that the type of guy who you would see her dating?"

"Yes, I would actually. But, if you'll excuse me and Sabine for a moment please, kid." Oh great, he was gonna be pissed. I went with him to the kitchen, far enough so that we could talk privately, but I had that feeling that this was going to escalate into another heated argument. When we got there, our eyes locked. "Why did you bring him home?"

"Dad, just before you flip out on me, let me explain." He nodded in response.

"So, Ezra offered to walk me home this morning after we ate breakfast at his house, and I said that I didn't mind."

"Go on."

"So we're walking home now, and he suggested to introduce himself to you just to show you that he's a good person and not the person who you think he is. I felt nervous about the idea, but if it meant getting you to just stop dissing him whenever I mention him, or anything like that, I said yes. And really, dad, he is a good person, he really is. Just please give him a chance." He thought about it for a moment, then spoke up.


Ezra's P.O.V

While Sabine and her dad were talking it out, I was looking around her house until they were done talking. Just now, I found a photo of who I thought was a younger Sabine, probably taken when she was little and living her life in Mandalore before she came to America, and eventually to our town of Lothal. It was pretty cool to see her this way in this photo, and I found more photos on the shelf of Sabine's life back in Mandalore. Just as I was looking at another one, I heard footsteps making their way towards me. I turned around, and saw that it was her dad, who didn't seem too happy. He had my girlfriend's tan skin tone, light brown eyes, black hair that was military cut, a beard, a muscular build, and a scar just above his right eye.

"Nice photos of your family in Mandalore." I said, trying to change the topic from what I think he was going to talk to me about.

"Listen, Bridger," he said sternly, "you're lucky that I'm going to allow you to get off easily since we're just meeting the first time. I'm going to say this once and once only: you stay away from my daughter if all you're gonna do is try to make her bad."

"Sir, no offense, but I'm not a bad person. I love Sabine, I really do, I wouldn't dare in the name of lothcats influence her to become bad. Just give me a chance, I'm pretty sure that she's asking you to give me a chance as well." He glared at me, and his glare became more intense as the seconds flew by. I gulped nervously.

"I see that, but since you are most likely an undesirable, leave our home in peace."

"Look, just because your daughter dyes her hair frequently doesn't mean that she's an emo kid who hangs out with undesirables. In fact, we have mutual friends in the neighborhood, and even they know that I'm not an undesirable because they know that Sabine and I are dating, and they know I'm a good guy for her. You're only classifying me as an undesirable because you don't even want to get to know me, and you just don't like your own daughter dating a guy."

"Bridger, did you just raise your voice at me?"

"It wasn't even by that much."

"You just raised it again."

"Again, not by that much, but enough just to prove a point as to why I'm a good guy for her."

"You see the door?"

"What about it?"

"Excuse yourself from our homestead."

"I see here. Nice to meet you, Mr. Wren, the father of my girlfriend who's kicking me out of his house just because he thinks I'm a bad influence on her, great way to meet you for the first time." I glared back at him. "Oh, before I leave, where's my girlfriend by the way?"

"I thought I told you to leave our homestead."

"I'm not leaving without properly saying goodbye to my girlfriend."

"Promise me that you will leave after you say goodbye to her." I nodded. "On the porch in our backyard. Then, I want you out of here. You got me?"

"Yes!"

I headed towards the door that led to the backyard, exiting it, where I saw Sabine sitting on the steps of the porch. I took a seat next to her.

"Great. Now your dad hates me even more now probably."

Sabine sighed. "No shit. I had a feeling that it was going to happen."

"What did he tell you when you had your private talk?"

"I explained to him everything that occurred this morning after we had breakfast, then he said to me that if he was going to have a personal word with you. And that happened all right."

I sighed. "It did. He even told me to stay away from you if I all I was gonna do was try to make you bad. Now I feel like a rivalry between me and your dad just got sparked." She took my hand.

"When you leave, I'm going to talk to him about you sternly and to my mom about this problem. If anything, Ez, I know I could always count on you." She kissed me lightly on the lips.

"I know you can, Sabine. I love you."

"I love you too."

We kissed slowly and lovingly for about a minute before we heard the door slide open. We turned around, and saw that it was Sabine's dick dad who caught us kissing. He glared at the both of us.

"I thought I told you to leave now, Bridger." he said.

"I'm sorry, I was giving my girlfriend a goodbye kiss before I take off, thank you very much." I retorted with a heavy eye roll, standing up. "Later, Sabine."

"See ya, Ez." She kissed me lightly on the lips, then I took off. Just as I started walking back to my house, I had a feeling that something big was going to go down between Sabine and her dad one of these days now that I met him, and I felt like that I was gonna be involved in it. What the heck did I just get myself into?

Later when I got home, Sabine texted me, and asked me to call her on Skype. I said that I will, and dialed her up on my phone when I got back into my room and lay on my bed. When I called her up, she appeared. "Hey, beautiful."

"Hey."

After we greeted each other on Skype, we got right into the conversation, talking about various topics. They ranged from stuff about our friends, her life back in Mandalore, her artwork, hilarious memes we both found on the internet, it was generally a lot of things we discussed. Then I remembered something that I wanted to bring up with her. "Sabine, do you remember that night where we got into our relationship?"

"That night was one of the best nights in my life. Why are you bringing it up?"

"I just remembered it again, and I'm honestly glad that we both went to that fair."

"Me too."


Flashback

A month ago on a Friday night

I heard that the annual Lothal Fair came to our town once again, as usual. I was interested in going, and my friends were attending it. However, at school earlier, while talking to Kanan, my best friend, at lunch, he told me that he was bringing someone with him. When I asked who it was, he said that he was bringing Hera, his girlfriend and our mutual friend who introduced me a week ago to her friend, Sabine. I was interested in her, and had a serious crush on her, and I could tell that she seemed to like me. Kanan also suggested that I should ask Sabine out to the fair, and I was really nervous about that. Sure it's only been a week and we were really good friends, but was I seriously ready to ask the girl who I had a crush on out? I was really nervous.

Later when school ended, when I exited the building, I saw Sabine out front, talking to Hera. I came up to them and the three of us chatted for a bit, and then I said that I'd see Hera tonight before she took off with Kanan. And that was when my opportunity to ask Sabine out came. "Sabine, there was something I wanted to ask you but never got around to doing it." I said.

"What is it, Ez?" she asked.

"Well, you know how the Lothal Fair is going on now?"

"I do. Kanan, Hera, and Zeb are going to be there. Why are you asking?"

"I was just wondering if you...maybe...wanted to go with me?" I was really nervous about this. I was just expecting Sabine to turn me down.

"With you? On like some sort of 'date' if you want to call it that?"

"Um...yeah, sort of." Her face showed a smile, which meant that this was a good sign that she would say yes.

"Ezra, I'd like that."

"Really?"

"Yup. See ya tonight?"

"See you tonight I guess."

I took off back home, still amazed that Sabine actually agreed to go out with me! "Yes!" I said to myself constantly as I walked home. When I got home, Kanan called me, and asked me if Sabine said yes. I said she did, and he knew that I could do it. Before the night came, me, Kanan, Zeb, our friend who's from Lasan, a region in Australia, and Alex, another friend of ours who was from Lothal, played Black Ops 3 zombies on our PS4s. We were on round 30 of Shadows of Evil when it was time for us to leave.

I left my house and walked over to the fairgrounds. I found Kanan, Hera, and Zeb there, but Sabine didn't show up yet. We were all talking about something when I switched the topic. I told them about how I asked Sabine out earlier, and how she said yes, and though I was happy for the fact that I got her to go out with me, I was really nervous. This was practically a date, not another one of our hangouts that me and her have had in the past. They all just told me to just relax and enjoy myself with her.

Eventually, she came. Before we did anything, we ate gyros that people were serving for dinner together, then we split up. Kanan went with Hera, Zeb went with his friend, Steve (see what I did there if you get the reference?), who just happened to be there, and I went with Sabine.

Time flew by, and I actually was enjoying our date, and she was too. We connected pretty well throughout our date, and I was just glad that I was spending it with her. We had a fun time playing various games, going on rides, joking around, it was so much fun to be with her. Sabine was a really cool person. She was beautiful, and she was everything to me. But of course I took it easy in the beginning with her, but now, I think I'm ready to admit my love for her. She could be thinking the same thing. After all, she seemed to like me as well, probably as something more than a friend.

Right now, we were playing a game of test your strength, where Sabine, surprisingly, got it to the top and won a brown medium sized stuffed bear, the largest winnable prize on that game. Though it was medium sized, it still seemed pretty large enough. I guess her Mandalorian warrior background helps out in this case. I went up and was off by half, but I still won a small bear. I wasn't really gonna do anything with it, but it didn't matter because I was ready for the next thing I wanted to do with her.

After agreeing on it, we both decided to go on the ferris wheel, and this where I decided to go ahead and admit my love for Sabine, but all I had to do was just wait until we got to the perfect spot. We enjoyed each other's company as we slowly rose to the top, with our town lit up for a good view of it from where we were.

"Ezra, thank you so much for taking me out here. I enjoyed this so much."

"Sabine, I'm glad you enjoyed this first date." I took a deep breath. "Sabine, there was something I wanted to tell you."

"Actually, Ez, I have something I want to tell you."

"Well...do you want to say it first?"

"You can. You were just about to say it anyway."

"Okay, fine." I took a deep breath.

"Ezra, why did you just take a deep breath?"

"Well, it's just that...I'm really nervous about saying this to you."

"Ezra, you can tell me anything."

"Sabine, I have something to admit to you. Sabine, I love you. I always have from the moment when Hera introduced me to you two weeks ago. I've always been in love with you when I first laid my eyes on you. You're beautiful and you mean everything to me." When I admitted this, Sabine's face became a bright shade of red, and she took my hand in hers.

"Ezra, I love you too. As time went on, I started loving you as more than a friend. You're a great guy, Ezra, you really are. I have feelings for you, I always have sometime after we met. You're a guy that I wanted to have in my life, and I love you."

"I...I love you too, Sabine." What she did next shocked me.

She unexpectedly came towards me and connected our lips in a kiss. My eyes widened, my heart beating ten times faster, but I didn't refuse her kiss and I instead accepted it. I closed my eyes and kissed her back. While in our kiss, I stroked her blue and orange dyed hair, then I softly caressed her left cheek. After what felt like a long while, we pulled away from each other, gazing into each other's eyes. Her face was still red, but it was less bright.

"I love you, Ezra."

"I love you too, Sabine."

She came back towards me and kissed me again. After about a minute of kissing, we pulled back. "So, does this mean we're a thing now?" I asked.

"I suppose so, boyfriend." she teasingly called me.

"I guess I now have a girlfriend." I replied.

"Indeed you do. I love you."

"I love you too."

We kissed again, then we stopped when we came down. When we broke apart, we saw Kanan and Hera waiting to get on, and they both caught us. Sabine and I both blushed, while Kanan and Hera just smirked.

"Well, I guess we just caught our best friends in the act of their first kiss." Kanan teasingly said.

"How was that for you, Sabine?" Hera asked, smirking. Sabine and I didn't know what to say to that.

"Um...I guess we'll get going and do something else. Shall we go, Sabine?" I asked.

"Right behind you, Ez."

And we walked off, our arms around each other, now boyfriend and girlfriend. This day was one of the best days in my life, and I'll never forget this.

An hour or two later, we all ended up going home. Sabine offered to walk me back to my house, so I said yes. While we walked back to my house, we both had our arms around each other, enjoying our presence. "So, what are you thinking about, beautiful?" I asked.

"How lucky I am to have you now." she answered.

"Me too. I'm really glad that this was a fun night."

"I'm glad we finally fell in love tonight, Ezra."

"I'm glad to finally have you now, Sabine."

For the rest of the walk home, we talked about various topics, then finally came up on my house, where we saw my dad watering our plants in the front. "Hi, dad." I said. He turned and faced us.

"How was the fair, son?" dad asked.

"Pretty good." I answered. "The crew was there."

"That's good to here. Who's your friend?"

"Dad, this is Sabine. She's a friend of mine, but tonight..."

"We're now more than friends at this point." she finished my sentence. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Bridger." She shook hands with my dad, who smiled warmly at her.

"Call me Ephraim. It's nice to finally meet Ezra's first girlfriend. My wife and I never really thought about it as much, but I'm betting that she'll enjoy hearing this. Hey, Mira!"

"What?" my mom called from inside our house.

"Come outside for a second."

"Why, Ephraim?"

"Just come outside."

"I'll be there in a minute."

My mom eventually came outside. "Ezra, who's this?"

Sabine chuckled. "I'm Sabine. I'm Ezra's girlfriend, as of tonight." She shook hands with my mom, who smiled.

"Nice to meet you, Sabine. I'm Mira, Ezra's mom. Nice to see that our son's actually got himself his own girl for once in his life. For once, he's not alone, unlike Kanan." We all shared a laugh at that.

"Yeah, Sabine offered to walk me home, so I said yes. I actually never thought I'd be introducing her to you two tonight. Heck, I didn't even expect that she'd go to the fair with me, or even fall for me for that matter."

"But it happened. Your son's a really cool kid."

"All I could say is that your mother and I are proud of you, Ezra."

"Thanks, guys."

"Well, I guess I'll get going now."

"It was a pleasure to meet you, Sabine. Come back anytime."

"You too, Mira. I'll see you all next time. Later, Ez."

"See you. Wait, Sabine, before you go..." I stopped her and kissed her on the lips for the last time tonight. She returned the kiss without any resistance. We gazed into each other's eyes when we pulled away slowly. "I love you."

"I love you too, Ezra."


Present day

"Yup, I remember everything, Ez." Sabine replied, the both of us still talking about the night we fell in love.

"Do you still have that bear by the way?" I asked.

"I do somewhere." She went off camera, then came back with that exact bear.

"Brings back memories."

"It does. You know what brings me a lot of memories from that night?"

"What?"

"Our first kiss. Remember?"

"That was rather awkward at first, but I was glad that we both had our first kiss."

"I'm glad that I got to kiss the boy I was in love with on the lips at the time." We both laughed at that.

"Remember when Kanan and Hera both caught us?" We laughed again.

"Yeah. Speaking of which, what did Kanan say following our kiss?"

"He just basically said that he was proud that it all worked out, but he did go on to tease me a lot following that night, and he still does."

"Yeah, I get you. Hera still teases me about that to this day."

"Heck, even Zeb teased me a lot with Kanan."

My girlfriend and I continued talking for about three hours, with me playing Cards Against Humanity and Black Ops 3 multiplayer while talking to her at some point. While playing Cards Against Humanity, she even got online and decided to join me, and we played while talking to each other on Skype. It was her first time playing it, and we had a lot of fun playing that game. As for COD, I just told her what I was doing since I had my camera facing me while I played.

"Well, I'm gonna get off for now." she said.

"Don't go." I replied, frowning. She just smirked and made a kissing sound. "I'll see ya later, Sabine. I love you."

"Love you too, Ez. Bye."

"Bye, Sabine."

With that, she hung up, and I went over to Kanan's house to hang out with him until dinner time, still thinking about that beautiful face of Sabine's.
