Hey Guys! I got a pretty good response last chapter! It feels good to start something new and fresh! It might not be anything new to fanfiction, but its a new style of writing for me, and so far I like it!

I'm gonna try to make a schedule for this story by uploading a new chapter every saturday! So stay tuned!

Padme and Ahsoka walked the streets of Coruscant. They had already visited five stores with many more to go according to Padme. Padme had already found something for herself, and like Anakin had predicted, they were now searching for something fit for Ahsoka. Ahsoka was still uncertain as to how she got sucked into this. Although she was having a fun time with Padme, shopping and wearing dresses was not quite up her alley. But she kept her head up. Shopping for a dress for Ahsoka seemed to make Padme happy for some odd reason, and Ahsoka was beginning to think that there was more to she and Anakin's invitation than Padme had revealed to them.

"Padme, we've visited five stores already. I don't need a dress. I'll just wear my jedi uniform." Ahsoka suggested, hoping that Padme would take her up on her offer.

"Oh, Ahsoka, come on! There's a dress out there for you somewhere and it's just a matter of time before we find it." Padme said as they continued to walk.

"But what if something goes wrong and I have to take action?" Ahsoka asked, hoping she had made a good point.

"I think you and I both know that the chances of something going wrong are slim to none." Padme said with a smile and small laugh.

"Then why do you need a jedi protector?" Ahsoka asked as she raised an eye mark.

Padme was taken aback by this. She hadn't been properly prepared for this question.

"Ahsoka," Padme started as she stepped infront of the young Togruta in order to block her path,"To attend a Ball is most girls dream! To be dressed in fancy clothes, to wear the most expensive of jewels about your neck, to share a dance with prince charming: every girl has a dream of being a princess and every girl deserves to enjoy such an experience. You have the opportunity before you! I just wanted you to experience something other than war, other than politics, and other than the jedi order. I thought that you would enjoy living at least one night as a normal teenage girl."

Ahsoka was covered in shame and guilt. She was as unprepared for Padme's answer as Padme had been for Ahsoka's question.

"I understand. I guess dressing properly for the occasion wouldn't hurt. But don't count on me sharing a dance with Prince Charming!" Ahsoka said with a small laugh.

"I guess we'll just have to wait and see!" Padme said as she turned her head to hide her obviously devious smile.

"So where to next?" Ahsoka asked as they began to walk again.

"Vêtements coûteux de Carla. Carla's holds some of the most beautiful dresses in the galaxy! Surely we'll find something there." Padme said as they made their way to the store.

"I hope so. I've done more shopping today than I have my whole life!" Ahsoka said earning a laugh from Padme.

The two walked into the fancy store. Padme had visited Carla's many times before now and had always left pleased with the purchases she had made. Although the clothing of the store could be quite pricey, with high quality comes high pricing lists.

The two walked to the front desk. No one appeared to be there. Padme rang the bell setting on the counter.

"Just a minute." a voice called from the back room.

A young women came from behind the curtains that sectioned off the store from the back room. The girl was human with brown, slightly curly hair.

"Ah! Padme Amidala. It's been a while since you last dropped by to see me!" The women said with a great smile.

"It most certainly has been!" Padme said as she returned the smile.

"Who's your friend?" The women asked as she smiled at Ahsoka.

"This is Ahsoka Tano. Ahsoka, this is Carla." Padme said as she motioned her hand towards Carla.

"It's nice to meet you, Ahsoka." Carla said nodding her head politely.

"It's nice to meet you too." Ahsoka said returning the nod.

"Now what can I do you for, Padme?" Carla said as she placed both hands on the desk rearing to get down to business.

"Miss Tano is looking for a dress. We have tried five other places before here and couldn't find anything." Padme said motioning for Ahsoka to stand before Carla.

"Why, Padme, I'm insulted," Carla began as she pulled out a measurement tape,"You should have visited me first!"

Padme laughed as she responded,"We were only saving the best for last."

"Now let's see," Carla said as she measured Ahsoka's arms, shoulders, waist, and height,"Do you have any particular color in mind?"

Ahsoka looked back at Padme. None of this was her idea! She had no idea what color Padme had in mind.

"Do you have red?" Padme asked.

"Let me go back and see." Carla said as she smiled before exiting.

"She seems nice." Ahsoka said after Carla had left the room.

"She is. She is a very sweet girl. She often times cuts me a discount on my purchases." Padme said with a small laugh.

"Discounts are always nice!" Ahsoka said laughing as well.

"I found something." Carla said returning back to the main store room,"Go try this on."

Carla handed Ahsoka a box with the dress folded neatly inside,"The changing rooms are over there."

Ahsoka took the box and made her way to the changing room.

"She's a beautiful girl. I believe this dress is the one." Carla said as she propped herself on the counter again.

"I hope so! Like I said, we've tried five other stores and none were able to provide." Padme responded.

"Girl, you should know by now that Carla ALWAYS delivers! Next time you better come to me first!" Carla said with a wink.

"We sure will-"

"Uh… How does it look?" Ahsoka interrupt.

Carla and Padme turned to face Ahsoka. Their eyes widened immensely.

Ahsoka stood with her head tilted downward slightly. Her hands were behind her back and her right leg crossed over her left leg. She wore a red dress the went down to her ankles in the back but was just below her knees in the front. The dress had a single strap over her right should with jewels creating a beautiful design.

"And so Carla strikes again!" Carla said cheerfully.

"Ahsoka! You look absolutely beautiful! Carla, we'll take it!" Padme said with an abundance of joy.

"Good choice!"

Fun fact: Originally Padme was gonna say,"Ahsoka! You look absolutely beautiful! Lux is gonna die when he sees you in this!" Thus revealing her secret plan. But after careful consideration I decided to change it to what it is now. Please review! Your reviews are what make this story happen!

P.S. If any of you speak French and understood the name of the store they went in; I had to have SOME fun with this story hahahaha
