Ahsoka's Lovers

Chapter 4

Ahsoka and Lux were able to get caught up for the time being. Ahsoka was very uneasy during their whole conversation due to the fact that Nyx and Kidd were currently unsupervised and who knew what they would do to each other. Ahsoka turned to glance over to the table where they had been and noticed that they weren't there. Her heart started pounding and she started looking around.

Lux noticed her nervousness. "Ahsoka, are you okay? Is someone after you? I mean, we could handle them just like we used to!" Lux said trying to reassure her and calm her down.

"Umm, well, it feels like everyone is after me." She responded while she was still shooting glances in every direction. Pretty soon she could see through the crowd that Nyx and Kidd had spotted her and were heading her direction. She gasped and jumped up from her seat. "Lux, you can't be seen! I mean you really can't be seen!" Ahsoka panicked and tried to push Lux out of the way.

"Well, well, well! Here you are!" Nyx exclaimed.

Lux placed his hand on his hip as if he were reaching for his blaster where it usually was. "Who are you and what do you want with her?" Lux asked.

Nyx walked up closer to Lux. "I could very easily ask you the same question."

"Yeah! Me too!" Kidd shouted from behind Nyx.

Ahsoka's face was buried in her hands at the awkwardness of the situation.

Kidd then stepped in front of Nyx. "How do you know Ahsoka?"

"Well, we used to be sort of a thing!" Lux stated.

Kidd then turned around to Nyx and they both started laughing.

"What's so funny?" Lux asked.

Nyx was the first to answer. "You? You don't look like you do anything to warrant the hand of a beautiful former Jedi. But I bet you didn't even know she wasn't a Jedi anymore did you buddy."

"Actually, she just told me the entire situation." Lux responded.

"Darn it, now I'm the only one who doesn't know what happened to her being a Jedi." Kidd snuffed.

"Wait a minute, how did I not see this, you're Lux aren't you." Nyx stated with confidence. "She told me all about you."

"Well, that's funny, she didn't mention either of you guys to me at all." Lux stated. "You must both be important to her." Lux said mocking them both. His days in the senate gave him the ability to use his words affectively.

"Yeah well, I know what you did to her and you're lucky she's even talking to you." Nyx added.

Ahsoka is very forgiving although there are still some at this point that she hasn't mustered up the strength to forgive yet. But she had forgiven Lux.

"What did he do to her?" Kidd asked feeling as though he was being left in the dust of both Lux and Nyx.

"He ditched her to go out with a rebel girl from Onderon." Nyx answered.

"I may have made a mistake, but I knew that I couldn't be with Ahsoka due to her Jedi values and I didn't want her to think she had to choose between me or her entire life, so I backed off. Trust me, it was not the easiest decision to make but i actually did it for her."

Ahsoka smiled at him for saying that without getting so verbal with Nyx and Kidd.

"That actually makes sense. I once asked her to stay with me and race with me." Kidd added.

"And she declined didn't she." Nyx retorted.

"Well sure, but Lux actually had the right idea at not even putting her in that situation."

"So, you both were involved with Ahsoka?" Lux asked.

Nyx held his head up. "I'm with her right now!"

"We had a short little fling that lasted like 2 days maybe." Kidd mentioned. "We even almost kissed if Anakin hadn't interrupted."

"Almost kissed?" Lux brought up. "We actually shared a kiss." Lux said with a huge grin on his face.

"Oh come on, tell him what you really did Lux." Nyx urged. "You forced a kiss on her."

"It started out that way in order to keep her from getting killed. However it became more than a forced kiss for us both." Lux said as he looked over for confirmation from Ahsoka.

"Is that true Ahsoka" Nyx asked.

Ahsoka let out an awkward chuckle. "Well maybe, but I did push him away." She knew how she felt. She only pushed him away because it caught her off guard and she knew she shouldn't have done it in the first place.

"Well, I get to share a bed with her every night." Nyx mentioned.

Lux was beginning to feel a bit more jealous that after all they'd been through and even after Steela's death, Ahsoka had been on his mind for the last year and now she was sharing a bed with someone else.

"Okay, you guys are just talking about your selfish pleasures for her. I actually gave her something as a symbol of her beauty." Kidd added. "I gave her a violet flower, although it didn't even come close to comparing to her beauty, it was the closest thing I could find and it was all that I had." Kidd said trying to find some way of competing with the other two.

Both Lux and Nyx stared at Kidd trying to think of ways to top him.

"Well, I bet she doesn't have that flower anymore." Nyx mentioned.

Ahsoka thought about the vase that she left behind when she walked away from the order. The flower may have been dead but it was still in there as she was walking down the steps of the temple for the final time. She smiled at the thought of that flower and it symbolized more than just her own beauty to her. It symbolized an easier moment in the war, before she even befriended Barriss who would later stab her in the back in a way that no friend ever would; before she even met Lux who would break her heart yet she couldn't even show it to anyone even her own master despite the fact that he already knew about her feelings for Lux anyway. "Actually, that flower might still be in my old room in the temple." She mentioned out loud.

Now Nyx was feeling out competed. He hadn't med Ahsoka in the midst of a terrible war only to break her heart. He hadn't really given her anything as a gift of romance. He fixed her speeder bike and didn't make her pay for it. And he brought that up. "I repaired her speeder for free. I also taught her what it's like to not live in the privileged way of the Jedi. How to scrounge up credits and how to get things a little easier without having a steady job. I taught her real life skills apart from what the Jedi already taught her." Nyx added feeling a bit better about himself and his relationship to Ahsoka.

"So, you taught her how to steel." Lux reworded what Nyx had stated.

"Well, if you want to look at it that way. But she also taught me a little something about work ethic and how to save the credits I earn and now I provide food and shelter for her."

The food and shelter bit was good and both Kidd and Lux knew it was. During the entire time after Ahsoka walked away from the order, she had been struggling to find a place of belonging. And Nyx had provided a great deal of that for her.

Now it was Lux's turn to bring up something that he'd given to Ahsoka, only he knew he was bested this time. So he made up a little speech on the spot. "Okay, I may not have given anything special to Ahsoka, but she gave something to me. A great friend; and that great friend has forgiven me for the mistake I made." He had hoped that maybe he'd win her heart back a little bit with this speech. He looked at Ahsoka who was lightly smiling at him but she was getting tired or all of this emotion.

Ahsoka decided to let the boys argue for her hand, but she wasn't staying around for any of it. She needed to clear her head. She was beginning to find this huge set of coincidences somewhat amusing but she still didn't know what to make of it. So she took her and Nyx's speeder to a nearby diner.
