And Then There Were Two....

6:00 A.M.


Feliciana stood before her full length mirror, looking at the new outfit she was wearing. Black leather pants adorned her bottom half while a white halter top graced the upper part of her body. She wore black boots upon her feet with black laces tied up neatly as should be worn. Her black hair was worn down and at its fullest length, touched just above her waist. She smiled as she put on her favorite red lipstick to finish off her flawless makeup.

"Done!"

She said with a happy giggle as she walked over and rechecked her packed bags, making sure she had everything needed for her little get away with Sasha. It would be nice to escape training missions and the bustling activity found at The Sith Order on Corellia, a place she had gotten too used to. Her eyes flickered up to the crono on the wall and it read 6:10 A.M. With a happy grin, she put on her black cloak which touched the ground and then lifted her bags into her hands. Checking her room one last time, she shut the door behind her and walked across the hall to the room belonging to the one she loved. Pushing through the door, she entered inside and shut it behind her, beaming as she looked for Sasha.

"Are you ready to go?"

The young woman called with anticipation. This trip would be an amazing experience. They were headed off to the Upper-Country of Naboo.....a planet she had only seen in pictures. It was somewhere she had always wanted to go, and after hearing of its beauty from her Uncle, she fell in love with the idea of visiting this place. Up there they would have a cabin all to themselves....secluded in the wooded lands and surrounded by medows, lakes, rivers, and incredible waterfalls. Cliffs lined the entire area, keeping it unaccessable to anyone except by way of underwater. As these thoughts and visions seen only on holopads by Feliciana circled her mind, she awaited Sasha's presence.

He walked into his room to find Feliciana asking a question to an empty room, and then standing there looking only slightly confused as to his whereabouts. He grinned at this, his violet eyes sparkling wit anticipation of the trip.

“Ive been ready since I left you last night.” He replied. The night had not passed quickly enough, and so instead of lying restlessly in bed, he’d been up early preparing the ship for the flight.

He took the bags from her shoulders and set them on the flor for a moment before he swept her into a comfortable hug, and kissed her. He had been walking outside for a bit, as he loved to do in the mornings, and he smelled of the fresh air.

“What took you so long, sleepyhead…?” He teased, knowing that it was rather early for most people to be up.

As they pulled away, he reached for her bags, and slung the straps over his shoulder before he reached for her hand.

“You look beautiful…” He commented, fully realizing how lucky a man he was to be about to embark on a trip with her.

Fel jumped a bit when Sasha surprised her, but she turned with a gentle smiled and giggled at herself.

"What took you so long, sunshine?"

She laughed once again and allowed him to take her bags as they departed. He reached for her hand and the young Apprentice couldn't help but smile to herself as she placed hers in his.

"This is going to be so wonderful."

Sincerity rang through her voice as she thought of how lucky she was to be embarking with him....her true love. Smiling once again, they made their way to the hanger and caught a shuttle transport off of Corellia, headed for Naboo. The flight was long and the pair made idle chat as they went along, but for the most part, it was spent in meditation to pass the time.

Several Hours Later

"Hey! We're here!"

A voice rang softly in Sasha's ears as Feliciana nudged him ever so slightly. She smiled as he opened his eyes and then stretched his tired muscles.

"I didn't expect you to fall asleep!"

But in all honesty, she too had dozed off. Locating her bags above their heads, she slung them over her shoulder and stood before Sasha, waiting expectantly. The excitement in the air was thick and could nearly be cut with a saber blade as it mounted within her soul. A glimmer ran through her eyes and could be seen by all around. Above all, she was just happy to be with Sasha at this moment.

[SashaKovalev]

Hey! We're here!

The familiar voice and the gentle nudge woke him. Slowly his eyes opened and he stretched his tired muscles.

I didn't expect you to fall asleep!

He chuckled.

“I didn’t either….” He admitted. But he had been running himself ragged lately with travelling and training, and so it was not a complete surprise.

He helped her with the bags, taking most of them from her and slinging them over his shoulder instead. He reached for her hand again, and before they departed, leaned to kiss her.

He could feel her excitement. It mingled with his, and seemed to generate an aura about the two of them that anyone could easily recognize as a new love.

As they made their way through the spaceport, pausing with the rest of the crowd on the people mover as it made its way through the crowded hall, he turned to her, a questioning look on his face.

“Do you want to get lunch around here before we find transport out of the city?” He asked. It would be fun, he thought, to spend part of the afternoon looking around the town, for the rest of their trip would be away from everything, in the quiet, restful hills.
