"Hello, Everyone!" I smiled kindly with my hands clasped tightly behind my back. "You're watching 'Question Corner', and I'm your host Kale." I had on a purple turtleneck and jeans. While I understood that having Ventress onboard was a once in a lifetime opportunity, part of me still wondered if this was such a good idea. Especially, since I've officially broken my promise with the Captain, this makes me a liar, and I hate lairs.

"Tonight, we have with us a person of many career paths. This guest has gone from Jedi padawan, to a Dark Lord's apprentice, to a now renowned bounty hunter, so without further ado, I present to you Asajj Ventress!" After elaborately gesturing to my right, I applauded along with everyone else as our guest made her way onto the set. She had on her usual boots, vest, and belts.

When we met, I reached my hand out to her only to have her grip it tightly and yank me forward to pat my back. As she did this, she hissed into my ear. "I don't appreciate you messing up my name in your last announcement, Miss Kale."

Hearing her make this statement known, I froze for a second. My eyes flickered from left to right as I replayed the 'announcement' scene in my mind, running over every detail until I eventually confirmed my mistake and grimaced. Ventress was right. I had pronounced her name wrong, and, she didn't seem like much of the forgiving type.

Drawing back to my full height, I sent her an apologetic look only to have it crumble under her unrelenting glower. Sighing, I offered her the chair next to mine as I thought, So, it's going to be one of those days.

Clearing my throat, I put on the best smile I could manage and picked up the deck of cards. Subconsciously fiddling with the corners of the cards as I thanked her for coming on the Show. The Bounty Hunter merely rolled her eyes at my welcome; saying, "Not everyone is interested in your formalities, Miss Kale, so please," She drawled, "I'd like to start sometime within this planetary rotation."

Bitting back a remark, I watched her sit there in my 'Question Corner' chair and look around the room as though she owned the entire ship. Was it bad that I felt irritated this early in the interview? I shook my head of such an unimportant speculation and said, "Alright. Suit yourself. 'Pronker' asks, 'What are those marks on your head and what do they represent? Also, are they permanent?'"

"I'm not sentimental enough to care about their meaning. Oh, and yes" She touched the marking by her right eye with ease, "they're permanent."

"'Riptor25' wants to know, what do you do now days?"

"I collect bounty's, I kill people for people, and I move around a lot," She waved her hand nonchalantly afterwards, "What else do you have in there?"

"Uh," I rapidly ran through the questions in my deck only to fumbled here and there and have to pick up a card or two as a result. Finally, when I found a good one, I said, "'TheDoctor-21-0408' asks, 'Do you think you'll ever work with Boba Fett again?'"

Ventress answered, "Unless a large sum of credits are involves," She shook her head, "I don't see why I ever would."

"'Emerald the Warrior Princess' asks, 'Asajj, exactly WHY did you team up with Tano? Other than clearing your name, of course.'"

An amused smile cracked her frowning expression. "Would you believe I have a heart of gold?" She spoke in a silky tone before morphing her smile into a sneer. Her icy gaze gravitated down to her fingernails, "No, I suppose even I can't convince myself of such a notion." She let out a bored sigh, "Alright, I'll tell you. For once, the Padawan's superiors slipped up on a global scale, and if the little rat turned out to be innocent, then think about the humiliation that would ensure afterwards?"

"How so?"

"Picture the ex-apprentice of Count Dooku helping the very Padawan the Jedi rejected." She clarified further, "I thought it was time to show people who the Jedi really are, and I did just that."

Taking in a deep gulp, I pulled a loose strand of hair away from my face and behind my ear. "Okay then. Sounds like you have it all figured out. We have a question from-"

"You don't agree with me." Asajj tilted her head and observed me sideways, "You have different opinions."

"What?" I furrowed my brows, "I don't like what the Jedi did to Commander Tano, but I also try not to have opinions. I'm a hostess, so I strive to be neutral in all of this."

"Mandalore chose the same path, Miss Kale, and look where that got them. Plus, you obviously have some kind of opinion; otherwise you wouldn't have banned all villains from your precious show."

"No." I countered, "I just had a pirate take over of the Show and my audience. Momentarily banning all villains wasn't me being prejudice; it was me having common sense."

"Took over your show, huh?" She mused, "Sorry I missed it."

"Yeah, I bet you would." My lips pressed into a thin, white line as I sucked in air through my nostrils. Should of listened to Rex, "'Jedi-TARDIS-Chick101' asks, 'Did spending time with Ahsoka affect your view of the Jedi/Republic?'"

As though our earlier disagreement didn't faze her the least bit, she casually waved me off, "Hardly. Meeting Skywalker's pet only reinforced my opinion of them. Plus, they still have my lightsabers, so until I get them back, I don't see anything changing."

"Why would they, though? You are the villain, after all."

She sneered at me, and, this time, I smiled back."'Weathergirl17248' asks, 'Was it hard at first to fight with Jedi who were your former comrades, of sorts? Since you were a Jedi padawan once."

"I don't see why that has any relevance."

"Well...she did asked," I pointed to the square card in my hands, "so, you just have to answer it-" but fell rigid when Ventress pursed her lips. "Alright, if you insist." I exhaled as I flipped through the card deck in search of something else.

Suddenly, Ventress said, "No, I came, and I'll play by your pathetic rules." She rested her chin in her palm, and brushed her index finger across the curvature of her jawbone, "I never thought about it. However, I have no regrets, if that's what you're asking."

Nodding back politely, I read, "'TolkienGirl052' asks, 'Is it fun being a bounty hunter? I get that it's not all fun and games, but the freedom must be amazing."

Her shoulders rose and fell, "It pays the rent, and it keeps a girl busy."

"Come now, you don't enjoy it at all?" I arched my brow.

"Don't push it."

I chuckled and said, "'Pronker' asks, 'Are you a little intrigued by Obi-Wan since you like calling each other 'darling?"

"Intrigued?" She laughed outright, "Please. Don't insult me. A mutual understanding, perhaps, but he's much too boring for me to be intrigued."

"How so?"

"He's Jedi. They follow rules and adore order," She leaned into her seat and crossed one boot leg over the other, "I've come to believe they don't have a surprising bone in their body."

"'Emerald the Warrior Princess' wants to know if you heard what happened to Savage?"

"Rumor has it someone finally beat him, but it's of little use to me."

I held the last question in my hand, "And lastly, 'Jedi-TARDIS-Chick101' wants to know, 'Were you surprised when Ahsoka left the Order?'"

Ventress replied. "In my opinion, it was the smartest decision that horn, headed padawan ever made. There might actually be hope for her."

She stood up after she said this, and I followed her lead. Wanting to give her a traditional goodbye, I extended my hand to her one last time only to have Asajj peer down at it like my skin had a bad infection. She growled in a low tone, "Next time, get my name right." before she turned and walked away. Sheepishly, I gave a small wave to the retreating guest.

"Well, let me thank you for watching another week of 'Question Corner'." I said as I faced the audience, "Our next guest is going to be General Grievous, but we're having some trouble choosing a good title for these upcoming episodes, and I suggested we ask you guys. So, if you want to lend us a helping hand, go onto my profile and choose one of the options from our poll. If there are any complication, please contact us. "

"In other news, I want to tell you that season 6 of Clone Wars is coming out in seven days; Although, I'm sure you've already heard. But, please, tell us what you're hoping to see this season. Anyway, remember the rules: No M-rated questions, 2 questions per person, and check out the reviews to make sure your question hasn't already been asked."

"Before we go," I gestured to Mini, our set designer, to come on stage and when she did I handed her the card, "I'm going to leave you good people with Mini to close the Show tonight."

"On behalf of 'Question Corner'," She read, "we'd like to thank: Pronker, Riptor25, Lightsaber12, CreatorsCasting, Rexorz, Darth tyrone, TheDoctorCT-21-0408, Grace, Dark Angel and Dark Star, Jhinx1, Emerald the Warrior Princess, Rogue 2k8, Sithlord8665, AngelAxexinf, Dark Brother 16, Jediclonecowgirl, Comrade, TripleThreat123, Weathergirl17248, Dovahkiin154, Dogma23, Rexsgirl123, Purplewillowtrees, NobelMeta, Kickincupcakebutts6, Glabierules, Ahsokatano191, JediChick101, Hazardous By Instinct, Celtice and Dukakis 2016, AaylaKit, Bookreaderninja, Yaya The Elf, AaylaKitofNiflheim, Dogmatup24, Spikala, Shadowclanwarrior, Snip1212, Captainrexbest35, Rex133668, Monsterhuntergod-Ratholas Mkl, TolkienGirl052, Nat13cat, AaylaKit, Avalonyx, AL0LT0, Just another fanfic author, Angel's anthem, Anakin Ahsoka, Azalea, Rose, Tessika 14, Queen, Thearistacats, Skywalker02, Onryo, KitFisto'sGirl, Alex Tsukino, Lady gaga, Lefty blondy, Ahsoka33, and TCTrent45!
