Cliff's Edge: Chapter 2

A/N: Hello my lovelies! Due to the awesome feedback, I decided to add another chapter. I don't think I'm going to add any more to this, because I put the rest of the ideas hat I had into this chapter. I will probably write another story though, about Lux and Ahsoka, so be on the lookout for that! I also wanted to thank everyone who reviewed. Honestly, you have no idea how much your reviews lift me up. I mean, seriously, if I'm sad, all I have to to is look at one your guys' reviews and it makes me so happy! I really am grateful for everyone who took a minute outbid their day to lift me up. Anyways, here's the last chapter! I'm sorry for any mistakes, I typed this whole thing on my phone. I hope you enjoy!

Ahsoka absentmindedly picked at the food sitting in front of her. It had been a few days since the incident, and she had yet to hear the doctors report on how long she would be "out of commission". She hated being so helpless, having to ask someone else to do practically everything for her. The door to her room opened and she looked up to see her master and Lux clearly flustered and glaring at each other.

"Go on Lux, wasn't there something you wanted to tell Ahsoka? I'll just leave you two then," Anakin gave Lux a smug look before attempting to leave.

"Oh no you don't. I believe YOU had something to tell her," Lux grabbed his arm ad pulled him back into the room, still glaring at him. Ahsoka decided that now was a good time to figure out what was going on.

"Ok, what were you two arguing over?" Ahsoka raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms, being careful of her still very tender shoulder.

"Umm...," Lux nervously rubbed the back of his neck, looking everywhere BUT the Togruta female.

"Well...," her master started, clearly not sure how to say what he needed to say.

"Spit. It. Out." Ahsoka demanded, glaring at both of them. She'd had enough of this nonsense.

"The doctor..." Lux paused, stuffing to finish. "Well, he came back with his final report."

"And...?" Ahsoka urged, eager to hear what they had to say.

"He told us how long your recovery time was," her master finished for Lux, clearly not happy about what he had to say next.

"How long? I want to get back in the field as soon as possible," Ahsoka informed them, still waiting for a direct answer.

"Uhh...well, he said about two-"

"Days?" Ahsoka cut him off, hoping that was the answer. He bit his lip and shook his head and seemed to be bracing himself.

"Months..." Lux forced out, finishing for Anakin.

"WHAT?!" The shriek echoed through the station, and everyone knew who it came from. Lux and Anakin looked at each other before making a dash for the door. Thank the Force she wasn't able to walk, but she could be pretty crafty sometimes. Neither of them wanted to stick around to find out what she was capable of. As the door closed, Ahsoka was left in silence. She gripped her sheets, her knuckles turning white. Two months? That was absurd! While she was having her inner struggle, the door opened. Ahsoka looked up, right at a certain Steela Gererra. Steela's head was hung, as if she was too embarrassed to look at Ahsoka. In all honesty, she probably was. "Hey, Steela," Ahsoka greeted her in the calmest way possible. She was still furious, but decided against taking her anger out on the poor girl.

"Hi," the girl mumbled, still not looking up. Ahsoka could sense that something was wrong.

"Steela, are you okay?" Ahsoka asked, afraid the girl had gotten hurt when she had practically flung her onto the cliff.

"Umm, yeah, b-but I wanted t-to ask you something," the girl stuttered, still not looking up.

"Ask away," Ahsoka prodded the girl, trying to get her to talk.

"Why?" Was all that came out of her mouth.

"Why what?" Ahsoka asked, confused.

"Why did you save me?" Steela finished, finally looking at the Togruta. "You could have let me die, and save yourself and Lux. You could have had him all to yourself, yet, you almost died saving me." Ahsoka was taken aback. Did Steela really think that she would do fsuch a thing?

"It's the Jedi way, Steela. I-"

"But what if it wasn't. What if you didn't 'have' to. Would you still have done it?" Steela cut her off, staring, almost glaring, at her.

"Steela! Why would you think that I would ever do that! Just because of Lux? I would never! I knew if I let you die, I would never be able to look at Lux the same way again. I didn't think I would survive, but I knew how much you meant to Lux. In couldn't let you die, even if it meant I did," Ahsoka's voice quieted down near the end. She looked up at Steela, who had tears in her eyes. She walked over to the bed, looking at the Jedi admiration in her eyes.

"Thank you," she breathed, before hugging Ahsoka and letting the tears fall. Ahsoka hugged the girl back, feeling tears form in her eyes as well. Steela pulled back, smiling. "I know how much Lux means to you, and... and you can have him. I think you two make a great pair," Steela said, walking out before Ahsoka could object. She sighed, smiling. Life was great.

4 weeks later

Ahsoka's recovery was going well, and she was able to walk around now with the help of crutches. She still had a month before she could go back into the field, but she was getting better, that's what mattered. Her should was still sore, but that was healing as well. Lux and Steela visited her often, and they always had a good time. One certain time, Lux was helping her walk outside to get some fresh air. She had left her crutches in her room, so she was using him as support. When they made it outside, she leaned on him, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath of the fresh air. During this time, Lux admired then teenage girl next to him. "Ahsoka, you look beautiful," he blurted out, waiting to see how she would react. Her eyes flew open, and a blush spread across her cheeks. He was afraid he had upset her until she smiled. A real, genuine smile. A smile he hadn't seen in a long time. She turned to him, still smiling.

"Why thank you, kind sir," she laughed, then hugged him. He gladly returned the hug. Ahsoka closed her eyes and breathes in his scent. He smelled like... like Lux. It was a smell she had always loved. She didn't want go pull away, she wanted to stay like this forever. But eventually she did, and looked at Lux, who was blushing.

"Umm... Ahsoka, I, I wanted to tell you that I really like you, and I was wondering if you wanted to go get dinner with me sometime," he quickly said, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. She smiled. He was cute when he was flustered. "I mean, I know you have a Jedi code and all and it's fine if you d-" Lux rambled, before Ahsoka cut him off with her finger to his lips.

"I'd love that, Lux." She replied before giving him a quick peck on the check. His cheeks turned beet red, but he grinned.

"Shall we?" He asked her, holding out his arm.

"We shall," she replied, taking it.

Maybe things will stay like this, she thought.

Only time will tell.
