Sam went looking for her seat and by a strange chance of fate Jazz happened to be one of the people at her table. Jazz looked up from her seat at Sam and stood up to greet her. She was wearing a blue dress.
"Hi I'm Jasmine Fenton, though you can call me Jazz."
"Samantha Manson. You can call me Sam." Said Sam.
"I've heard of your family. A couple of senators right?" Said Jazz.
"Your right. So what do you do?" Said Sam.
"Well I work in the Capitol under Governor Lancer and I just recently been promoted to People's Relations." Said Jazz.
"So what is your opinion of the Empire so far with how it deals with people and issues?" Asked Sam.
"Well so far the Empire does do a great deal of good, however I have seen some underhanded things, but those were just cases with a couple of officers. I'm trying to weed those out and help maintain a good standing with the people of the various cities and planets." Said Jazz.
"A worthy cause. The people have a right and say in the government." Said Sam.
"They do indeed." Agreed Jazz.
The two sat down. Sam cast a glance at Jazz. She already figured she was Maddie's daughter, since she had the same last name and resembled a younger version of the Jedi. Maddie told Sam that Jazz knew nothing about her past and that she didn't know anything about her or Danny's actions with the Rebellion. She thought it would be best for Jazz to learn and see the truth about the Empire herself, before revealing anything to her. Sam liked Jaxx right away, she seemed like a smart capable person and much like her brother there was an openly friendliness about her.
The lights dimmed and everyone took their seat. The stage lite up and out from behind a curtain walked Chip Skylark. He was wearing a red suit with a stylish red hat and had a big friendly gleaming smile on his face as he held up a mike and addressed the audience.
"Good evening folks! Welcome to the Starlight Award show here at the Dimmadome. We have a great show for you tonight and to kick things off were going to present the reward for Best Artist to a good friend of mine. She started out as a spark in this business, but rose into a big dazzling inferior. Give it up for Ember McLain!" Said Chip before he stepped off the stage.
The curtains lifted up and Ember appeared reedy to bust out a song with her guitar. Ember began to sing her song Remember.
Yeah! Oh!
It was, it was September
Winds blow, the dead leaves fall
To you, I did surrender
Two weeks, you didn't call
Your life goes on without me
My life, a losing game
But you should, you should not doubt me
You will remember my name
Oh, Ember, you will remember
Ember, one thing remains
Oh, Ember, so warm and tender
You will remember my name
Your heart, your heart has rendered
Your loss, now bear the shame.
Like dead trees, in cold December
Nothing but ashes remain
Oh, Ember, you will remember
Ember, one thing remains
Ember, so warm and tender
You will remember my name
Oh, woah, woah!
Ember, you will remember
Ember, one thing remains
Ember, so warm and tender
You will remember my name
Yeah! You will remember my name
The crowd cheered and whooped at the song. Backstage Tucker was watching and singing along, while Danny and Valerie were being vigilant. In other parts of the Dimmadome Stormtroopers were patrolling. A few Stormtroopers were standing guard at various exits. A waiter approached some Stormtroopers and as he got close, he suddenly pulled out a blaster and hit the startled troopers with a stun blast knocking them both out. The waiter took one of the troopers's blaster rifle and handed it to another man dressed as a waiter. The two men nodded and made their way to the main room. In other parts of the Dimmadome several other Stormtroopers were being taken down in similar fashion by men dressed as waiters. The men weren't really waiters, they were hired mercenaries and gangsters hired to help deal with security and to secure the Dimmadome for their employer. They snuck back to the main room and positioned themselves by the doors.
On the backstage a waiter was approaching Danny and his group prepared to knock them out, but as he prepared to attack Valerie quickly drew her own blaster and hit him with a stun blast knocking him out. Danny and Tucker looked down at the unconscious man and then to Valerie.
"I think whoever tried to blow Ember up is making their move now. The culprit is fixing to make a big spectacle on stage." Said Valerie.
The three of them looked at the stage, where Ember had just finished her song. The audience cheered. Then smoke began to bellow from behind Ember and a platform rose up. On the platform was a woman with blond hair wearing platinum colored armor that covered most of her body except her midriff and she wore a tiny platinum colored mask over her eyes. There was also a chair, some strange barrels, and a square metal device with wires and a countdown clock. The woman with the armor stepped off the platform and made her way to Ember.
"I am the Platinum Princess and I'm here to give you all a show you'll never forget starting by eliminating this fraud and giving her reward to someone, who really deserves it."
"Wait...a minute...I know you! Your Britney Britney!" Exclaimed Ember in shock.
"That's right! It's me! Britney Britney!" Declared the women as she removed her mask and grinned nastily at Ember.
"Why are you doing this!" Demanded Ember.
"Why you ask? Because you ruined me that's why! I was the queen of music, till you showed up. You stole my fans, my popularity, and my crown! I should be the one getting the reward not you! So I decided to end your career with a bang and take a good deal of your fans out in the process." Said Britney.
"Your insane!" Shouted Ember.
"I'm an artist. Now don't none of you think about leaving, I hired some help to make sure none of you miss this." Said Britney as she looked at the audience.
A few dozen waiters guarding the exits made their presence know by pointing their stolen blaster rifles at the heads of the audience. Panic and Pandemonium broke out through the crowd and the waiters fired their blasters in the air to silence the audience. Ember went pale and Britney laughed insanely.
Backstage Tucker pulled out a special carrying bag that had Danny's lightsaber, jumpsuit, and mask. Tucker also had some flash and smoke bombs at his disposal. It looked like things were about to get rough and Ember was going to need a little special help to get out of this situation. The Rebels geared up to launch an attack and save Ember and the audience. A real memorable show was about to begin.
To be continued.
