You pulled on your leather robes and grabbed a few books that you were returning to the library and walked out of your room.  You had finished reading them a while ago but never got around to doing so. The library was relatively close to your room and on the same level, so you didn't need to take an elevator.  You opened the doors and walked inside the grand room "Hello (y/n).  Are you here to return your books?"  the librarian asked.  "Yeah, yeah."  you said dismissively, setting the books on the table and looking around.  You recognized on of the Jedi looking for a read as Barriss and got an idea.  

"Hey Barriss."  you greeted.  "Hello, (y/n)?"  she said.  "Yeah, its me."  you answered.  "I never recalled you being so obsessed with the color black."  she joked.  "Well, I think it matches your robes nicely."  you said, getting her attention.  "You think?"  she asked, looking away.  "I think black looks cute on you."  you observed her cheeks start to tinge.  "Well, thanks."  she held her left arm.

"Would you like some champagne?"  you asked, pulling out a bottle.  "Are we old enough to drink?"  Barriss asked.  "Probably not."  you said, pulling out two shot glasses.  "How did you get this?"  she asked, looking at the bottle.  "I may have stolen it from Padme."  you said.  Barriss giggled.  "I don't think a small sip would hurt."  she said.  You walked to the back of the library where no one would see you.

You slowly poured champagne into Barriss's glass and slid it to her and poured yourself some.  "Cheers."  she said, clinking the shot glasses together and drinking it down.  The taste of the liquid filled your mouth as you swallowed.  Barriss set her glass down and you did the same, making a small clink sound.  "Another please."  she said, sliding her empty glass back at you.  You filled them back up and did the same routine.  After a fourth round, Barriss decided that being drunk was maybe not the best idea and asked no more.

You slid the bottle and glasses back into your book bag and stood up to walk away, deciding that was enough flirting for today and would come back tomorrow, but were stopped by Barriss.  "Those drinks were so good."  she said, her breath smelling of alcohol .  "I'd love to drink from you sometime."  you said, sensing your chance.  "(y/n)!"  she said, clearly aroused and inching closer to you.  Sensing this, you reached out and took both of her hands and pressed up against her body.  She leaned in and you did the same, your lips connecting in a soft wet smooch.  You closed your eyes and kissed her.  She tasted much different from Ahsoka and didn't kiss her even nearly as passionately as you used to kiss Ahsoka.  You broke away after a short time, unable to deal with the pain and burning feeling of kissing anyone other than Ahsoka.

Barriss assumed your red was from the kiss and hugged you.  Often when you would hug Ahsoka standing up like this, your hands would traveled down to her hips, but this time they stayed locked onto Bariss's back.  You let go and in the corner of your eye, saw Anakin looking right at you.  Barriss turned around, sensing you had seen something but Anakin was already gone.  "Sorry, thought I saw someone baby."  you said, stroking her cheek with the back of your hand.  "Should we continue this tomorrow?"  she asked.  You gladly removed yourself from her grip and smiled.  "See ya tomorrow babe."  you gave her a small two flinger salute and she blew you a kiss.

You had succeeded in the first step of your plan, but would now need to get Ahsoka's attention without alerting the council.  You pondered on how to do this right up until you opened your door and saw Anakin pouring himself a glass of wine.  "Like another drink?"  he asked.  "How did you know?"  you asked.  "(y/n), what are you doing?"  he asked, still not turning around.  "I am in love with Barriss."  you answered.  "No your not."  he scoffed.  "Is it to make Ahsoka jealous?"  he asked.  Even though that was exactly what it was, you still refused to admit it.  "No, Ahsoka has already decided that she likes Lux, so why can I not get a new girlfriend?"  you asked rhetorically.  "(y/n), you know Ahsoka still loves you."  he said sternly, now turning around and facing you.
