"Alora, the dinner party begins in forty five minutes. Get ready" Padme spoke through the closed door of her sisters room, awaking the girl from her peaceful nap.

"Is Anakin going?" Alora asked, smirking at the silence that followed.

"Get dressed" was all Padme could muster as that same jealousy rose within her. Alora on the other hand felt giddy as she took this as a good opportunity. Maybe after she snuck some liquid courage in her things would go perfect.

On that note, Alora needed the best outfit for the dinner party and that meant provocative yet classy at the same time. That meant red. She picked out a tight red dress that was rather short and had one shoulder strap. She paired that with gold heels and a gold arm cuff that had a chain made of Naboo gold and rubies that connected to a ruby ring on her finger. She fixed her hair so it was effortlessly falling down her back. Perfect.

"Are you ready? We need to leave n- are you kidding?" Padme paused mid sentence to look at her sister. She looked stunning but the dress was rather short.

"I even am wearing some native jewelry you can't be mad." Alora argued, lifting the arm with the gold cuff.

"No I can but I won't because yet again, it's time to leave" Padme huffed. Alora smiled happily and followed behind her sister who yet again wore traditional Naboo royalty robes- which made Alora roll her eyes.

The party was not the type of parties that Alora was used to. There were no people making out on tables, no fights happening, and no people dancing everywhere you looked. It was just filled with people dressed in their best attire talking and sipping champagne. While Alora felt uncomfortable, Padme felt good as this was her territory. "You may have two glasses of champagne. I don't know your limits but two can't do anything, it's only so you blend in. Now go mingle and please behave. These people won't find yourself normal behavior funny they will find it repulsive."

"Yes mom" Alora rolled her eyes snatching a flute from one the trays and took a big sip of the crisp alcohol. Her eyes scanned the room for a specific Jedi when she saw him at a cocktail table with another man wearing similar robes and a young tweelik girl who looked extremely uncomfortable. Due to the company her conquest had, she had to mingle with people she really didn't want to.

"Excuse me, your Senator Amidala's sister right?" A male voice said behind her. She turned around and saw a decent looking man but definitely not her type. He seemed stuck up.

"I am, Alora Amidala" she faked a smile and offered her hand which he took and kissed gently. The gesture making Alora sick to her stomach.

"Senator Rush Clovis"

"It's lovely to meet you but I must go find my sister. She needs to introduce me to some people, still fairly new I'd say" Alora joked lightly.

"Ah, yes Id say" Clovis smiled, looking at the young girl like a prize. Alora felt weird vibes radiating from the man so she gave one last smile and turned around rolling her eyes before walking away. She scanned the room some more, seeing that the table where Anakin previously was held just the other man and young girl. This made her heart skip as she eagerly tried to spot him.

When she finally found him she frowned deeply- seeing him taking to her sister rather closely as Padme blushed and giggled like a little girl. Not on her watch. The blonde downed her champagne and quickly grabbed another. "Padme, some man named Rush Clovis was asking for you." Alora innocently stated as she interrupted their conversation.

"How do you know who that even is?" Padme shook her head in annoyance.

"Well he came over to talk to me, he's very friendly" Alora smirked sipping her champagne knowing exactly what she was doing. Padmes eyes widened at her insinuation.
