Chapter 6: Tonight Is A Fairytale.
Two days later after arriving to Dantooine, Revan felt very nervous. He spent the day walking around the ship, fortunately for him, Bastila wasn't on the ship, she went to help Master Dorak. His state of anxiety didn't pass unnoticed by the rest of the crew.
"You think he is going to ask her tonight?" Mission asked.
"Yes I'm sure. I can tell you by my years of experience how does it feels, it's a big decision you have to do, because you are going to do the biggest step in your life." Jolee said, they were at the main hold. Meetra arrived and saw Revan walking around the hallways of the ship.
"What's wrong with Revan?" She asked.
"The kid is nervous." Jolee answered.
"Why?" She asked.
"You think we should tell her?" Mission asked.
"Of course we should do! She is the kid's adoptive sister, damn it!" Jolee answered.
"Okay, promise not to tell Bas, okay?" Mission said.
"Sure." Meetra answered.
Mission got up and whispered to Meetra, her eyes opened wide "He is going to do that?" She asked surprised.
"Yep, he is going to do it tonight, after all what they been through, I think they deserve to spend the rest of their lives together." Mission answered.
"What are you doing?" A surprised Revan asked.
"Nothing." Mission lied.
"How are you feeling son?" Jolee asked seeing Revan's state.
"I'm…I'm nervous." Revan answered.
"You want to talk about it?" Jolee asked.
"Yes, but in private." Revan answered.
Jolee and Revan went out from the ship, outside, Revan told Jolee that he was nervous about asking Bastila to marry him. Jolee told him that was natural to be nervous, and he convinced him to relax. Hours later, Bastila returned to the ship and found Revan in the training room.
"Hi, babe." She said.
"Huh? Oh…hi, how was your day?" He asked.
"Nothing from the ordinal, I help Master Dorak with the Padawans." She answered.
"Good" He answered and stared at her with a smile on his face for a while until Bastila noticed it.
"Is something wrong?" She asked.
He shook his head. "No. Have I told you that you look beautiful today?"
"No."
"Well, you look beautiful today."
She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "And you look handsome today." She leaned up to him and met his lips; he placed his hands on her waist and returned the kiss. When they broke apart, she slid her hands down Revan's shoulders until they rested on his chest.
"Hey, I want to show you something tonight." He said cupping her chin.
She looked up to him meeting his eyes. "Sure, what is it?" She asked.
"Trust me, you're going to love it." He said.
"Okay then…" She said and kissed him on the cheek. "See you tonight." She left the room and Meetra entered in.
"Hey Revan, Atton and I are ready." She said.
"Good. Wait me outside." He answered.
Meetra nodded and left the training room, minutes later Revan was outside the ship.
"Okay, Atton, Meetra, your mission consist to go to the Crystal caves that are south of here. Once you have arrived, you will camp outside the cave before going in, Meetra you know why. In the morning you will get inside and choose a crystal, once you have returned, I will give you new instructions." Revan said.
Meetra and Atton nodded and headed to the Crystal caves. They walked for a time, until they reached at the ruins of the Enclave, there Meetra stared the ruins for a very long time, thinking about all the friends she met and now they were gone.
"Babe, are you alright?" Atton asked placing a hand on Meetra's shoulder.
"No." She answered shaking her head trying to contain her tears. "Friends I met here they are now gone, I knew Malak for a very long time, but he really became a monster, he killed hundreds of people here, and in the galaxy he killed millions." She said.
Atton lowered his head; they stayed in silence for a moment, until he took Meetra's hand in his. "Come, I want to show you something." He said leading Meetra to the ruins.
"I know you Jedis always said `There is no death, there is the Force´, but I have been in places where the destruction of a world creates new life." Atton said while they were walking around the ruins. "Right now, there are ruins, I know, but look all this plants that are growing again, life is retuning." He said and bent down cutting a flower, when he stood up he gave the flower to Meetra and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks Atton, I feel much better." Meetra said.
"Your welcome babe." Atton answered.
They walked for an hour until they reached to a small river.
"We will camp here tonight; tomorrow we will go to the cave." Meetra said looking the landscape.
"Hey look at this tree!" Atton exclaimed running towards the tree.
"Atton what are you doing?" Meetra asked when she saw Atton climbing the tree.
"Wow, it's a beautiful sight from here babe," Atton said sitting on the branch of the tree. "I wish…whoa!" But the branch broke and Atton fell into the water.
"Atton! Atton! Where are you?!" Meetra cried looking for Atton in the river. Suddenly Atton emerged from the water. Meetra sighed in relief.
"You are a jerk." Meetra said upset.
"I scared you right?" Atton asked almost laughing.
"Yes, give me your hand." Meetra said, but when Atton gave her his hand, he pulled her down to the river with him, they spent the afternoon playing in the river.
One night, one place
One look at your face,
I didn't know what to say,
I was nervous a little (yeah),
I'm doing my thing; you're doing the same,
Come over my way,
We can meet in the middle.
Revan and Bastila were walking hand in hand along the plains on Dantooine, the night had fell and was one of those nights without moons. They reached to the top of a hill and sat down.
"Why you bring me here?" She asked.
"I want to show you something, look up." He answered.
Bastila looked at Revan in confusion, but she still looked up and saw a beautiful sky covered with stars.
"Wow, it's beautiful." She said.
"It's a strange natural phenomenon that occurs every fifteen years." He answered.
"Why I have never seen this?" She asked.
"Maybe because you never left the Enclave at nights." He answered.
She smiled and said: "This night reminds me about…"
"Our first date?" He asked.
"But we never had…" She answered, but then she saw Revan smiling.
"Wait, you mean, that night in Manaan when…we danced?" She asked.
"Yeah, that night was our first date, I never told you because I was afraid of you rejecting me, so I decided to keep it as a secret." He answered.
"That was sweet." She said and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
I ain't worried about nobody else tonight,
Let's pretend that there ain't no one else around,
All that matter is that you're with me,
Take my hand, take my hand, take my hand.
And we'll go to a place like a fairytale,
Let this magical night have a happy ending,
Love is in the air, feel it everywhere,
I'm the king of the night,
You're the queen by my side,
Like a fairytale,
A-a-a-a-a-a-ale,
Like a fairytale.
A-a-a-a-a-a-ale,
Like a fairytale.
Love is in the air, feel it everywhere,
I'm the king of the night,
You're the queen by my side,
Like a fairytale.
Revan checked again in his pocket, the ring was still there, he took a deep breath and stood up, Bastila stoop up behind him.
"Are you fine?" She asked.
"Yes, I was thinking the day we met, do you remember?" He asked.
"Of course, I remember when we first met I thought you were the most vainest, arrogant and childish man in the whole universe." She answered.
Revan chuckled and said "And I remember that you were the most stuck up person I've ever met, but I really fall in love with you later."
"I know, the Force works in mysterious ways, I never imagined falling in love with the former Dark Lord." She said smiling.
Revan took a deep breath. "I need to ask you something." He said.
"Sure." Bastila answered.
"Am I the right person for you?" He asked.
"Revan…"
"Please, just answer."
Bastila stared at him a few seconds before answer. "Yes, I never imagined falling in love, but I'm glad you came into my life. Sometimes I look back and realize that you gave a new meaning to my life, you taught me to look life from a very different point of view. And this might sound a little bit silly, but every time I'm around you I feel like a teenage girl." She said smiling.
Revan chuckled. "Thanks, I'm also glad I have found you. You have become my entire world; you're the only one who makes me smile every day. You're my reason to live and if I lose you, I would lose my reason for living. You're the one who has prevented me to fall to the Dark side again and without you, I wouldn't know what to do. These two months away from you had been a torture, every night I thought about seen you again, that's when I decided something" He said.
"Revan…" She said when she noticed what kind of conversation was.
Revan knelt in one knee and took out something from his robe, he showed to her the ring and said "Bastila Shan, I love you and I want to spent the rest of my life with you, will you marry me?"
Bastila's eyes filled with tears of joy. "Yes…a thousand times…yes." She said.
Revan stood up smiling and slipped the ring in Bastila's finger, she examined it. It was a silver ring with five incrusted blue jewels. She looked at Revan and embraced him, "I love you." She said.
"I love you too." He answered; he broke the embrace and kissed her passionately, wrapping his arms around her waist and drew her closer, she wrapped her arms around his neck, when they broke apart, they rested their foreheads against each other's smiling.
I can't believe,
It's happening,
The girl of my dreams,
Is right here with me (yeah),
Wouldn't trade her for nothing,
Not even the world,
Did you play a little something,
For me and my girl? (Cause)
I ain't worried about nobody else tonight,
Let's pretend that there ain't no one else around,
All that matter is that you're with me,
Take my hand, take my hand, take my hand.
And we'll go to a place like a fairytale,
Let this magical night have a happy ending,
Love is in the air, feel it everywhere,
I'm the king of the night,
You're the queen by my side,
Like a fairytale,
A-a-a-a-a-a-ale,
Like a fairytale.
A-a-a-a-a-a-ale,
Like a fairytale.
Love is in the air, feel it everywhere,
I'm the king of the night,
You're the queen by my side,
Like a fairytale.
A campfire was the only light besides the stars that Meetra and Atton had, she was healing a wound that Atton had made with the branch when he fell.
"How long will it take?" Atton asked.
"A few more minutes. I can't believe you pulled me down into the water." Meetra said covering Atton's wound with a bandage.
"C'mon babe, you needed some fun, Ouch!" He said when he felt Meetra tightening the bandage.
"Sorry for that." Meetra said. "At least you're right, I needed some fun." She said still focus on the bandage.
"Anyway, why Revan sent us here?" Atton asked.
"He sent us because we need crystals to construct our lightsabers." Meetra answered
"Wait...What are you saying?" Atton asked nervous. "I'm not even a Jedi." He said.
"In some way you are, Revan told me that you are a Force-sensitive, that means that you were trained in the ways of the Jedis or you never knew about your abilities." Meetra answered.
Atton began to sweat. Meetra notice it. "Atton what's wrong?" She asked.
"Nothing." He lied.
Meetra sighed and said "Atton, if we are going to travel together, you must be honest with me."
"I know, but you're right, damn it, I was trained in the ways of the Jedis years ago, but I never completed the training." He answered.
"Why?" Meetra asked applying some kolto in Atton's arm.
"Because, I fell in love with a Jedi, but I killed her because she crawled in my head, I couldn't take it." He said.
"Atton, don't worry, okay? I will train you and I will not crawl in your head." Meetra said. "It's ready." She said checking the bandage.
Atton rolled down his sleeve, "Thanks." He said. "You're welcome." Meetra answered smiling.
"You have a beautiful smile." Atton said with a smirk.
Meetra blushed a little, "Thanks you also have a beautiful smile." She answered shyly.
They stayed in silence, Meetra looked up and gazed the stars, while Atton stared at her. "They're beautiful." She said.
"Yes, they are." Atton said softly. Meetra turned her head to see Atton, she saw that he was smiling softly, he leaned to her and met her lips, he broke apart and Meetra returned the kiss. When they broke apart again, they stayed in silence.
