CHAPTER 4! YAY! :D Didn't take as long as I thought it would.

CHAPTER 4

"Did she say Royal Blood?" Ahsoka asked, braking the silence. "and She grew up a slave to the Hutts? That's awful!"

"I don't know what she meant by the Royal Blood, but I do know we're getting into Nara's show tonight." Anakin said as he started to pace in thought.

"How do you supposed we do that?" Windu asked watching him pace.

He stopped and looked at Ahsoka and Barriss. "Hey girls...Do you know how to dance?"

Luminara jumped in between Anakin and the padawans. "NO!"

"They're to innocent and vulnerable. Not going to happen." Luminara said, her teeth bared in a threat if Anakin came forward.

"Fine then, how about serving drinks? You can join in on that Luminara. Then Master Windu and I can sneak in, snatch up Nara, and we all leave. Boom bam! Problem solved!" He said with a excited look on his face.

"It's definetely straight forward." Mace said pondering the idea.

"That's my master." Ahsoka smiled and punched Anakin's shoulder.

"I guess it's all we've got." Mace gave in. "Let's get going."
**********************************************************************************
Nara was shoved into a room and the door was slammed. She saw some other slaves at the mirrors getting ready. They turned to look at her. "Hello there lil one." Said a Twi'lek coming over to her. "What's your name?" she asked in a soothing voice.

"Nara Oniri." she said quietely. 'Ug, my throat's stil dry.' "Who are you?"

"I'm Sierra. These are Joann, Taliah, and Ariana." she said gesturing to the others in turn, and they were all Twi'leks also. "Usually the girls are the back up dancers and singers, and Justin and I are the lead. But I heard tonight that we're having a special lead singer." she went over and got a bottle. She handed it to Nara. "Thirsty?"

"No thank you. I don't drink." she said, thinking it was beer.

They all giggled. "It's water sweety."

"Oh." she said blushing. She took the water as someone walked in. She drank the whole thing in a few dehydrated gulps. "Thanks. I really needed that." she said. She watched the people who came in, cowaring away from them on the ground. 'Please, just let them leave quickly or get it over with.'

"Hey Justin. We got a new girl. She says her name is Nara Oniri." Sierra said gesturing to Nara.

"Get ready. You all have a show tonight." A guard said. He walked over to Nara, who froze in place. He put a key into her collar, and took it off. She looked up at him in confusion. "You can't exactly sing with that around your neck. It's being transfered to your wrist." he said clamping a new one on her wrist. The guards finally left the and everyone let out a relieved sigh.

Justin walked over to Nara and offered his hand to help her up. She took it and got up, and he pulled her close. They both blushed and seperated. "So, you're Nara? The queen said you're the one I'm going to be singing with. I'm Justin." he said with a quirky little grin.

She smiled and nodded while studying him. He was a Togruta, and a rather buff one at that. His markings were different then the usual. He had swirls that swirled into his eyes, and vertical stripes along his jawline. His eyes were a grey, which made a dramatic effect with his orange skin.

The other girls giggled and Justin chuckled, which made Nara realize she was staring with an intranced look. She turned her head away to hide her blush. "Er, nice to meet you, um, Justin."

"Here, you can get ready over here." Sierra said bringing Nara over to an empty seat at a vanity. Nara looked at all the different types of make up. She turned around to see Justin gone. He came back a few minutes with hot pink outfit. This one was a little more revealing then her current one, but still covering enough so she didn't look like a slut.

"Would you like to wear this for the show tonight?" He said walking over and holding it up against her. "It's still rather covering, and it goes great with your skin and eyes."

She looked totally confused, then Joann spoke up. "He usually likes to pick out the outfit for the person he's singing or dancing with, since he doesn't have much getting ready to do." He gave another one of his quirky grins which made Nara smile too.

"Ok. I'll try this one." she said and went into the dressing area. She came out a few minutes later in a sparkling tupe top and skirt that went to her mid thigh. Yet again, she had one heels, these ones higher then the last pair. The skirt and shirt had long ribbons trailing from them, make her every move more dramtic.

"Wow, that looks perfect!" Taliah said excitedly.

"It's a little...flashy." Nara replied

"It's supposed to darlin'. Don't worry, you only have to wear that stuff in shows." Ariana said while putting on some blush.

"Ok." Nara started to make her way back towards her chair. She took a few unsteady steps, before she flat out tripped on her face in the middle of the room. Justin rushed to her side to help her up. When she was up, she just tripped again. After that Justin picked her up bridal style and carried her to her chair.

"You ok?" he asked sitting her down. By now, a huge blush had formed on her face.

"Yeah. I'm just not used to wearing heels at all, and these are a little high." she said glancing down at the traitors. Before she knew it, Justin was taking them off and away. He came back with a pair of pink boots that had a slight heel.

"How about these? You can't dance in something you can't walk in." he teased sliding them on. She got up and tested them out.

"Much better. Thanks." she went back over to her chair. He went to get some water. He came back to see her just sitting in her chair. "So, when do we go out and do our thing?" she asked

"In a few hours. Aren't you going to put make up on?" he replied giving her a water.

"Excuse me?" she asked, a little offended

"You need to put some of the make up on. You're beautiful and don't need it, but the Zygerrians said the girls have to wear it."

"Oh. Um thanks." she said, not having been complimented in years. "I-I don't really wear any make up usually. I don't know what's what or how to apply it." she replied looking shyly at the make up and picking up a brush. She twirled it around in her fingers playfully.

"That's ok, I can put it on you." he said with a smile. He grabbed the brush from her and some blush and went to work. "So, where are you from?"

"The Jedi Temple on Courascant." she said sadly

He froze in his work. "You're a Jedi?"

"Yes. Well, I was. I was a padawan to Jedi Master Mace Windu. We were investegating the slavery problems on Ryloth and in the Kyros sytem with Anakin Skywalker and his padawan, Ahsoka Tano, when they took me. The were very silent about it, and my master didn't know where I was till the queen called him." she remembered the look on his face and shook it out of her head.

"Why would she call him to tell him where you were?" asked Joann as Justin continued.

"Probably to tease him." she said turning her head, which Justin turned back.

"Don't move and close your eyes please." he said grabbing more make up. "So, there are people trying to save us?" he asked

"Oh yes. It's the most critical mission in the Republic right now. There's more then just my master, Master Skywalker, and Ahsoka on the matter too." she obliged. "I'm sure they'll save us from this place."

"I would think a Jedi would be more resistent then this to be a slave. Did they send you through processing to get you this well behaved?" Ariana asked

"No, I grew up a slave in Jabba's palace, so I know how to behave. She said I only have a few quirks, but not enough for processing."

"Ok, make ups done. Now time for your hair." he said putting the make up down.

"Oh! I wanna see!" she said trying to turn her chair around, but Justin had a firm hold on her chair.

"Nope, not till you're all ready. It'll be a surprise." he smirked at the now pouting Nara. He brought out a curling iron.

"Um yeah, I don't think my hair curls." she said "It's always straight."

"Well, we're about to push it to it's limits then." he teased her. She giggled then went stiff. A smile slowly crept onto her face. "What is it?"

"My masters coming. I can sense it."

YAY! New people in the story and a rescue in the process! :)
