Hey Guys! It's been a while! I'm sorry for the delay. Once again I've been really busy. But in the midst of my time away from this story, I've started something I'm pretty excited about. I read through my older stories (Particularly "Dreams and Schemes" which I wrote like 4 years ago but didn't post until I was half way done with it.) and realized there was ALOT that needed to be fixed. Grammar errors were everywhere and the writing was extremely sloppy. So. That being said. I am revising "Dreams and Schemes" and fixing all the grammar errors and taking out certain parts that I now feel are unnecessary. The plot is staying the same, but the story itself has gone through MAJOR improvements. So be looking out for that!

All excuses aside, Here is chapter 6!

Tonight was the night! It was really happening! Ahsoka shook in her shoes. She was nervous and didn't understand why. Part of her was claiming it was because she was afraid she wouldn't look right in a dress while another side was saying it was because of fear that Lux would be there. She felt like she was about to puke, but she also felt like she might pass out first.

Padme glanced over at the nervous Togruta. It didn't take the force to know she was becoming anxious.

"You ok?" Padme asked as she placed a hand on Ahsoka's shoulder.

"What? Yes! I'm fine!" Ahsoka jumped.

"Ok, ok! Just making sure. You seem little on edge."

"Well… I'm just a little nervous is all…"

"Why's that?"

"Its just…" Ahsoka sighed,"Padme, I can trust you right?"

"Of course, Ahsoka!"

"Well… What if Lux is there tonight? What am I going to do! I can't let my emotions get the best of me! I'm a jedi! But yet, I still worry that my dress wont look right, or that something bad will happen like it always does or-"

"Ahsoka! Calm down! It's just a simple little ball. There will be food, there will be music, there will be a dance and then it will all be over. And as far as Lux goes, Those feelings you are experiencing are natural. You are a teenage girl for force sake! And to be completely honest, you are only experiencing half the drama and emotion that the average teenage girl would face during adolescence."

"Great, so I'm not even average."

Padme laughed as Ahsoka rolled her eyes.

"You know what I mean."

"Yeah… But that's not all.."

"What else is there?" Padme arched a brow.

"I.. kinda don't know how to dance…"

Ahsoka blushed lightly.

"Oh! Don't worry about that! Just follow Lux's lead!…"

Ahsoka and Padme's eyes both widened.

"What'd you just say?"

"Um… Pilot! Are we almost there?"

"Padme! Why didn't you tell me Lux would be coming!"

"I just wanted it to be a surprise! I didn't mean any harm!"

"I think I'm going to be sick…"

"Don't worry, Ahsoka! If it makes the situation any better, Lux doesn't know you are coming either!"

"Yes, Padme. That totally makes the situation better!" Ahsoka shouted sarcastically.

"What's the big deal! Do you not want to see him?"

"No, it's that."

"Then what is it?" Padme asked as she placed her hand on the young Togruta's shoulder again.

"I don't know! But every time I'm around him I get this weird sinking feeling in my stomach and I don't understand what it is!"

Padme's facial expression quickly changed from that of concern into a face covered with a psychotic smile.

"What?" Ahsoka asked as she leaned back and arched a brow.

"Oh nothing." Padme smiled as she turned to face ahead again. She knew and understood the feeling Ahsoka was experiencing all too well.

Ahsoka looked at Padme with her brow still arched. What was that about?

Lux and Elaina sat in the transport vehicle on their way to the Ball. He was being very quiet. He fidgeted his thumbs nervously, and just the same as Ahsoka, it didn't take the force to know that he was nervous as well.

"What's wrong?" Elaina asked.

"What? Oh, nothing! Nothing at all! Why do you ask?" Lux said quickly.

"Well, you seem kind of nervous is all. I was just wondering why and if there was anything i could do to help perhaps."

"No. There's no need to be concerned. I can assure you that I am ok. I just have a lot on my mind is all."

"Well… If you say so."

Elaina wasn't convinced. Something was definitely up and she intended to find out what!

The transport came to a slow stop just outside the ball room entrance. The door slid open and Lux and Elaina stepped out. Lux was a taken aback when he saw a familiar jedi knight standing just outside the main door. Anakin. If Anakin was here surely Ahsoka would be here! He continued forward to approach him.

"Hello there, Master Jedi."

"Senator Bonteri, It's good to see you again."

"It's good to see you too."

Anakin arched a brow lightly at the girl standing next to him.

'Uh oh, Ahsoka isn't gonna like this.'

"Who's this you have with you?"

"Oh, this is Elaina. Elaina, this is Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Master Jedi." Elaina spoke softly with a smile.

"No, the pleasure is all mine." Anakin said with a smile and a bow,"I don't mean to hold you up, you two enjoy the ball."

"Thank you." Lux said returning the smile and bow before they entered the ball room.

Ahsoka and Padme checked their dresses one last time as their transport vehicle reached the primary entrance.

"Are you sure this looks ok? Maybe we should go back and change!" Padme said frantically.

"Padme! You look just fine! Why are you worried any how? I'm the one who is new to this kind of thing."

"This is the Liberation from the Confederation Ball! I want to look at least some what decent."

"Well don't sweat it! You look fine."

Ahsoka couldn't help but worry. Lux Bonteri was going to be there! She was happy just as much as she was sad about this. She was happy because she would be seeing one of her best friends again. They had been through a lot together for such the short amount of time that they had known each other. She thought all the way back to their first encounter on Raxus. She had to admit, she hated him at first, but that didn't mean she didn't think he was handsome. She hated him because of his separatist status was most of the reason, that and the fact that he had attempted to flirt with her in the gardens. Thinking back, she regretted her response to his words and wished she could hear him say them again! She also thought back to her fast change of heart after realizing that he was actually a very charming boy!

Fast forwarding to the peace negotiations on Mandalore. Although Lux's appearance had been unexpected she was still happy to see him. He had grown quite foolish about avenging his mother. He was just a boy! And on top of that he had no combat experience! How did he expect to even compare to Dooku? Either way. Their trip to Carlaac was.. interesting. Especially the one part to the story Ahsoka had kept hidden from the council and Anakin when making her report. Not even Padme knew about it and she knew all of Ahsoka's secrets! The kiss. One of the best and worst things to have ever happened in her life. Best because it was amazing! She didn't want to push him away but she knew she needed to. Which was exactly why it was the worst thing to happen in her life. She wanted it to happen again. Sure, not under those circumstances, and perhaps with a little more feeling, but that was the problem! She shouldn't want more!

By now Ahsoka and Padme had made it inside the ball room. Ahsoka was reminiscing on the battle of Onderron now until she was interrupted by slamming into something.

"Lux?"

"Ahsoka!"

I know the chapter itself isn't longer per say, but there is a lot more dialogue! I hope you liked it! Things are about to get interesting!
