Hello! I haven't updated in what feels like a long time! I'm sorry! I have had finals and all recently :/ anyway, I don't really know what to think about this chapter so you read it and tell me! R&R!
Ahsoka walked into the bed room, stopping just inches from the end of the bed when she turned to face Anakin.
"Thanks!" She said throwing her hands in the air in fury.
"What?" Anakin asked stopping in the entrance to the room.
"Nothing…" She said realizing what she had said. She didn't have the guts to admit herself to Anakin yet.
"Ahsoka, sit down…" He said motioning his hand towards the bed.
A confused expression was cast across her face, but she did as she was told.
"Ahsoka..Do you have stronger feelings then friendship for Lux?" He asked as he started to pace.
Ahsoka was desperate now. The question she hoped she would never have to hear was being thrown upon her now.
"Umm…" She sighed, she knew she couldn't talk her way out of this one,"Yes…"
"Ahsoka, when are you going to learn that you can trust me! We made a vow! Remember?" He said sitting down beside her on the bed.
"Yes..I do, Master…I was just…" She sighed,"I know you don't like him, I can sense it…"
"Ahsoka, I don't like him because he likes you!" He said, but then he realized how confusing he had made it sound,"I just don't want you to get hurt…"
Ahsoka was surprised. This whole time she had thought he dis-liked Lux for other reasons.
"Master, he would never hurt me…He's kind, caring, he wouldn't hurt anyone or anything!" She said.
"I'm sorry.." He said dropping his head.
"Master, you were worried about me! You care for me! How could you be sorry for that?" Ahsoka asked placing a hand on his shoulder.
"I don't know…" He looked up at her with a smile,"I think someone is waiting for you in there"
Ahsoka's headtails darkened, she still didn't like talking about her love life.
"Yes, I guess so!" She said as Anakin stood and turned taking her hand helping her up.
"Come on!" he said as they exited the room.
When the two were back in the living room, It felt as if the mood was lightened.
Ahsoka sat down next to Lux. Anakin on the other hand walked to the door.
"Where are you going?" Padme' asked standing up.
"I've already interrupted your sleep over enough, I'm going back to the temple, it is late after all!" He said giving her a wink.
"Ok." Padme' said smiling as she gave him a wink in return.
The elevator door slid open. Anakin turned to catch one last glimpse of his padawan, then he entered the elevator.
The door closed as one thought raced threw his head, she really has grown up.
Padme' watched as the door closed hiding her husbands face. He finally trusts her.
She turned back to the couple sitting on the couch across from her as she sat down.
"I'm sorry for my husbands odd behavior." Padme' said to Lux.
"It's ok! I have seen much 'odder' things in my life.." He said smiling.
"So have you settled on an occupation?" Ahsoka asked.
"Not yet…" He said turning to face her.
"You don't have any in mind?" Ahsoka asked tilting her head in confusion.
"No.." He said frowning.
"Have you considered joining the republic? You make a good politician." Padme' stated.
"I have, actually, but I'm afraid I wouldn't be accepted very well due to the fact that I have been a separatist all my life…" He said grimly.
"Oh..I understand.." Padme' said accepting the fact that the subject needed to be dropped.
"Wait!" Ahsoka blurted,"They can't judge you by your past…That's inconsiderate!"
"Ahsoka!" Padme' said hinting to drop it.
"I'm sorry Padme', but the the senate, nor the court should judge someone by their past!" Ahsoka said firmly.
"Well…to be honest, they aren't suppose to.."Padme' said as she crossed her legs.
"Then why do they?" Ahsoka asked as she narrowed her eyes.
"Because they are afraid…" Lux said standing up. He walked over to the window and watched as the speeders flew past.
"Afraid of what?" Ahsoka asked turning around to face him.
"They don't trust those who say they have diverted their believes back to the ways of the republic…" He lowered his head looking at his feet.
Ahsoka was upset now. She had really hoped that Lux would find an occupation within the republic.
"Oh…" She said grimly.
"Well it's getting late, we could all use some sleep." Padme' said standing up,"Who is sleeping where?"
Ahsoka hadn't really thought about that, but to be honest, she didn't really care where she slept.
"I'll take the couch, Ahsoka can have the guest bed." Lux said walking over to one of the couches.
Padme' nodded in agreement,"3po!"
"Yes mistress?" 3po asked as he entered the living area.
"Would you mind bringing Lux a pillow and blanket?"
"Certainly!" He said as he turned and exited the room.
"Well, we will give you some privacy now, good night!" Padme' said giving Lux a side hug.
"Good night!" He told her back.
"Good night! Don't let the bug droids bite!" Ahsoka said giving him a hug just as Padme' had.
"Good night!" He said as he released his grip on her.
He stood watching as she exited the room. He had this weird feeling now. He felt a tingle in his stomach along with the on-going pounding in his chest from his heart.
Ahsoka closed the door to the guest room. She leaned on her back against it and let a sigh of an unexplainable yet amazing feeling. She felt like a fire was raging in her heart.
"I hope that some day we can share a relationship as strong as Anakin and Padme's.." She said to herself as she walked over to the bed where she welcomed herself the fluffy mattress.
Only minutes later she was fast asleep with a big smile on her face.
How was it? Please review! It would be an awesome birthday present! p.s. today (may 16th) is my birthday ;)
