Chapter 8

Shopping

Note: Ahsoka's view, her group is in the Shopping Distract too.

I can't tell if Anakin wants to ask me out or Elzi. It's getting me worried. If does go with Elzi I won't be mad, she's really nice and they do look cute together. Anakin and I would be the couple of the century though! Then again, Rex and I would look better than me and Anakin. If Anakin or Rex asks me, I'd say yes to both, well to whoever comes to me first. Elzi said she'd be here by now. Oh wait there she is!

"Elzi over here!" I yelled across the parking lot. She waved back. Leia and I were outside at the Coruscant Café. We had just finished our ice cream. Elzi had brought Anakin and Anakin brought Obi-Wan. Out of the corner of my eye, I thought I saw Padme, but I wasn't sure.

"Hey Soakie!" she yelled. Behind Anakin I saw Rex. He waved to me and I waved back. I looked over my shoulder, and it WAS Padme.

"Since when has Riyo been hanging with them?" I asked.

"Today at lunch." Rex replied.

"What are you guys doing here?" Padme said as she walked over.

"Depends. What are you doing here?" I said to her.

"Oh thanks for asking. Well we're heading over to the spa for manis and pedis and then we're going shopping. Anyone want to come?" (pauses) "Oh well too bad, we wouldn't of let you any way. I see, Elzi, you decided to hang out with these freaks?" Padme said.

"They happen to be much nicer people than you Padme." Elzi said to her.

"Oh then in that case, I guess I should also tell you that I'm buying my invites for my party coming up. A party that many of you will not be invited too!" Padme rudely said to us.

"Yeah because if we did get invited we wouldn't go any way." I said her. I knew none of us would.

"I'm sure. There will be music there, and games, and candy, and lots of fun. It's gonna be great without you guys." Padme said.

"You can just shut up Padme." Anakin shouted.

"Ew wow that's saying a lot." She replies.

"He's right though." I said to her. She was going too far.

Riyo was standing behind Satine and Aayla. I could tell she didn't want any part of this. I got up and grabbed Leia's arm. She stumbled to get up. Elzi, Anakin, Obi and Rex followed me.

"She'll regret that tomorrow. Let's go girls." Padme said behind me.

We walked around the place for a while and then Rex suggested seeing a movie. The movie Lethal Trackdown was playing this week. We went into the theater and I sat next to Rex and Leia. Obi-Wan was next to Rex, next to Obi was Anakin. Elzi was next to Anakin on the end. (E, A, O, R, Ah, L)

The movie was two hours long. After the movie, I kept worrying about what Padme said about the party. I know for a fact that I wasn't invited. I don't think Anakin is either.
