Now, on with the story:
The Dance.
About a week after the raid on the base, Anakin and Ahsoka are called back to Jedi temple, and given the task of guarding Senator Bail Organa and his wife at an upcoming party. When they get there, Anakin steps off to talk to senators Organa and Amidala , and Ahsoka goes to "scope out" the food. She feels awkward in the dress Padme said she should wear for this, one the same color as her normal tube-top, but it goes down to past her knees.
As she sticks a small cake in her mouth, she feels someone's attention lock onto her, and the person moves toward her. Almost moving into a fighting position, she turns around, but just sees a young human male that looks like every other court lackey, and this one has a nervous look on his face that can only mean one thing.
"Can..can..I have..th..this..dance?"
She looks to Skywalker, who gives a slight nod, and takes pitty on this poor boy that managed to get the guts to ask her.
"Yes you may."
He leads her to the dance floor with grace, but so freaked out he is almost dripping distress. They clasp hands and he careful places one of his hands on her hip, trying not to put it too far back, as she places one of hers on his shoulder. A slow song from Organa's home planet of Alderaan plays as they dance, a real smile slowly growing on his face and she does her best to show one back. Soon after, when she is even starting to enjoy it, the song ends and they make their way off the dance floor.
He grabs them both drinks, and blushes about something.
"I'm so foolish, I forgot to tell you my name or ask you yours, how silly of me. I am Charen Jenkai."
She smiles, enjoying this boy's disappointment in himself a bit too much,
"Ahsoka Tono. Padawan learner assigned to Anakin Skywalker."
"Ah, that explains the lightsaber. Sadly, I am not as interesting, just a assistant of Senator Organa's."
"I see, kinda guessed that before you said even said it."
"Jedi mind probe?"
"Nope. You just fit the part."
He hangs his head in shame,
"Oh..."
She even giggles at that.
They both stand there without anything to talk about, each one's life so different from the other, until Ahsoka thinks of something.
"So, would you know the security systems for this room? I am here to protect, I may as well learn what they are."
"Of course. Right this way."
He leads her to the controls, leaking both hints of disappointment from leaving the party, and joy that he gets to show her around. Just after reaching the door, they see all the screens are off or showing static, and they start to run to Senators. Outside the door, they step into the hallway and see a large Rodian with a blaster pointed at them. She reaches for her saber to defend her and Charen, and maybe stop the assassination right here. The Rodian fires, and she blinks has her blade roars to life, but when she opens her eyes, she sees a yellow blade in front of her, which blocks the blaster bolt. When she looks over at Charen, she feels the same power as she did back at that base, and guesses he was masking it up till now.
He looks at her with a face the same as a few minutes ago while they were dancing, but somehow nothing like it at all.
"Go tell your Master, I'll try to deal with this, maybe even catch him."
She runs out to the main room, and feels him push her faster. By the time she gets there Anakin is already running to her, blade at the ready. They both run back, and just find the assassin on the floor, with a hand cut off, burned so it doesn't even bleed. On his chest there is a note that says,
"I think you want this guy, not sure why."
Just as they read it, she hears his voice in back of her mind,
"I am watching..waiting.."
