Good afternoon, Padme. Are you ready for tonight? Obi-Wan watched the young lady eat the Spice Cake that Dexter put down in front of her.
Good afternoon. You are late again, Master. Padme looked at Obi-Wan pick up the menu and scanned it really quickly.
Sorry. I was hoping the meeting would not be longer than normal. I was informed that there will be a new Senator coming from Naboo, who will be here tomorrow. This person will be taking over for late Senator, who just passed away last week. Obi-Wan put down the menu and looked around the diner.
Really, a new Senator? Plus, it is ok. I just got here myself about five minutes ago and Dexter gave me this, before I could order lunch. Padme told him, as the droid waitress came up to their table. They ordered their food and talked a little, before their lunch came to them.
You never answered my question about tonight? Obi-Wan took a sip of his drink.
Oh, yeah. Um . . . yes, am ready for tonight There will be five of us that are going out tonight. Padme answered, as she smiled, because she will get to have a fun and free night, without Obi-Wan hovering over her.
Ok, but just be very careful, please. Obi-Wan told her.
I will. I promise that I will behave myself. So, what are you going to do tonight? Padme finished up her Nerf burger.
I thought I would go to the gym and work out, just for a little bit, before soaking in the hot tub, to soak my very sore and achy muscles. Obi-Wan grimaced a little bit, as he moved his right shoulder.
That sounds good, mostly the hot tub part. Maybe, I will use the tub tomorrow, or better yet, I will go use it, when we get back to the Temple. Padme rubbed her right shoulder.
Ok, that is a good idea. Well, we should start heading back. I still have to finish up that meeting I was in. We took a break to eat and meditate. Obi-Wan got up from the table.
Ok, see you later, before I head out tonight. Padme also got up and followed Obi-Wan out of the diner.
They headed back to the Temple, where Obi-Wan went back to the Council meeting, while Padme headed for the Gym and got into the hot tub, so that way, she could loosen up her aching muscles.
There is the birthday girl. Are you ready to have some fun? Jayson came up to Padme and gave her a hug.
Thanks, Jayson. Am so glad to have this one night, without Obi-Wan hovering over me and telling me the right way to do something. Padme laughed, but stopped, when she felt the present of Obi-Wan, but also the feeling of evil was also present.
Tell me about it. Are you ok? Do you wonder what the Council members are talking about? Hey, speaking of your Master. Jayson looked up and saw Obi-Wan walking with Mace Windu.
Yes, that is Obi-Wan. Yes and no, on the Council. Come on, we need to get going, if we are to catch the air shuttle. Hey, guys. Padme saw the rest of the friends, who were going out with her.
Hey, Padme. Am ready to have some fun tonight. Audri came up to Padme and gave her a birthday hug.
Thanks. Hey, Hilarey, you ready? Oh, hey, Brehnt. Well, we need to get going now, since we have everyone here. Padme looked at the rest of her friends, who were going out with her to celebrate her birthday.
The small group of Padawans left the Temple and got into the air shuttle. Ten minutes later, the shuttle dropped out of the air traffic.
Next stop, Uscru District, Vos Gesal Street, and the Outlander Club. the driver called out to the passengers.
The shuttle slowed down and came to a stop, right in front of the Outlander Club. The small group of Padawans got out of the shuttle and made their way to the entrance of the Club.
Wow, this place is huge. Brehnts eyes widen, as they entered the building.
I have been here a couple of times with Obi-Wan. Mostly, when we had to hunt down some information. Padme nodded to the bartender, who nodded back, as she led the small group up a couple of steps and came to a huge dining area.
Wow, you have been here? Every time my Master has to come here, I have to stay behind at the Temple. Hilarey followed Padme, as she led them to a circular booth.
Once they were all seated down, their waitress came up to the table.
Hey, Padme. Where is Obi-Wan? the waitress passed out the menus.
Hey, Suane. He is at the Temple tonight. We are here celebrating my birthday. Padme gave the waitress a smile.
Oh wow, Obi-Wan let you have fun? Well, anyway, Happy Birthday. You want your regular? Suane laughed.
That sounds great to me. Padme put the menu down.
After Suane took everybodys orders, she left the table and went to put their orders into the kitchen.
I dont about you, but I want to dance. Jayson got up from the table and pulled Audri up from the table and they headed for the dance floor.
They are the wild and crazy. How their Masters can control them, am not sure. Brehnt laughed, as he sat there and watched the two Padawans dancing on the dance floor.
Yes, they are the wild ones of our clan. Oh goody, our drinks are here. Padme saw the waitress coming for the table with a tray of drinks.
Suane passed out the drinks, before heading off to a couple of other tables that had other people sitting at them.
Oh great, our drinks are here. Jayson came back to the table with Audri.
Suane just brought them to us. Hilarey took a sip of her drink.
Everybody just sat there, sipping on their drinks, as their waitress came back with two droids pushing the two carts that had their food on them.
Oh man ,this is so great here. Padme, here have a taste. Jayson held out his fork of meat and veggies mixture out to Padme. Padme took a bite of the mixture.
Wow ,that is good. Padme nodded her approval to the food that Jayson held out to her.
Oh, Padme, I heard that there will be a new Senator coming here to take over the older Senator, who passed away last week. Audri finished up her food.
Hey, didnt you go to Naboo? Brehnt looked over to Padme, as he too finished up his dinner.
Um . . . yes, I was the one who helped save the planet . . . That is where Master Qui-Gon died. Padme remembered her time on Naboo, and the fourteen year old boy that she had to leave behind.
Oh Padme, am so sorry. I forgot about what happened there. Brehnt saw sadness come across Padmes face.
It is ok. Padme said, just as there was a loud crashing sound coming not far from them.
About four tables over from the group, was a couple of human boys. They were very drunk, and a table away from them, were two older Padawans, who seem to be having a quiet night away from their Masters. The two of the very drunk humans came over to the older Padawans and started a fight.
Um . . . let us get out of here. Padme looked over to the fight.
Everybody nodded, got up and headed out of the dining area, as the bouncers came over to the group that was fighting. As Padme and her friends got into the air taxi, the bouncers were throwing out the two drunks. Twenty minutes later, Padme was walking into her quarters, getting undressed and putting on her night clothes. She climbed into bed and was just covering herself up, as Obi-Wan came into the room.
Goodnight, Padme. Obi-Wan laid down in his bed.
Goodnight ,Obi-Wan. Padme closed her eyes and began drifting off to sleep. For tomorrow, she will get a very huge surprise that will come back into her life.
