Alright, here's the first chapter of the three-chapter Onderon series. Please judge this chapter and the next as one chapter, as I am publishing them simultaneously.
Ahsoka's Point of View
False Assumptions
I was assigned to a mission to train a group of poorly trained and supplied insurgents on Onderon, a planet whose government had been overthrown, and the new king working as a pawn for Dooku. Droids had occupied the planet, but Masters Kenobi and Skywalker, as well as myself, were assigned to carry out a new plan to fight the Separatists by causing their own people to rebel.
Lux was one of the rebels. I was surprised to find him there, ready to fight, as he was just a senator, really. I wouldn't have any trouble training him in particular. All the time, through the brief training session, before the droids overran our location, I wanted to say something to him, but couldn't.
It was made even worse when I had suspicions that he was growing to like the informal leader, a dark-skinned young woman named Steila. These thoughts came to me first when he was helping her deactivate a practice Droideka. The way he held her from behind made me feel uncomfortable and oddly betrayed.
Perhaps he didn't love me.
"Great." I mumbled aloud.
I still loved him though, all through the small attacks on the droids after infiltrating the capital city of Isis. I didn't know what to think, though, since after I helped them blow up a power generator, she unashamedly hugged him, daring to call him handsome in front of me. I didn't know his view was for sure, because his thoughts were too clouded. She obviously liked him though. And that was too far.
Freeing the true king, King Dendap, from execution, and launching a full-scale attack against the droids was done only as a comrade.
I felt pity for Lux once more, though, after the death of Steila. He cared for her, but not in the way I had assumed.
Following the funeral and celebration ceremony after the liberation of Onderon, I went to the hideout and packed up the few things I brought.
Lux arrived soon after me with the same intentions. I wanted to talk to him, so I went to his room and knocked on the door.
