42 - I Do •𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡 𝑜𝑛𝑒•

{Y/N'S POV}

The morning sun shone brightly on my face as I lay silently in my cold and empty bed, staring blankly out of the window as I watched the familiar scene which greeted me everyday when I first opened my eyes in the morning. I lay there, deadly still, simply just admiring the same view I have been looking at for the 20 years of my life.

But today... it looked different. It felt different.

It was an indescribable feeling, almost like an atmosphere which filled my room. I felt nothing apart from the faint fluttering of butterflies swarming in my stomach, and my chest rising and falling as I breathed deeply in and out, eyes fixated on the morning sun and the dewy leaves on the trees outside of my window.

It was the same trees; the same birds; the same sun itself.

But today, the sun did not shine on my System like any other day I had lived so far. Today, the sun shone down on my planet for my wedding day.

I have been lying here since the sun first peaked out from behind the hills as it began to rise in the early hours of the morning, when everyone in the palace and probably on Solaris as a whole were still slumbering peacefully and undisturbed; half arguably oblivious that there will actually be a royal wedding taking place today. For me, I will end my day as a Queen, married with a husband; but for the rest of my system I will remain seemingly eligible so that Anakin and his vow to the Jedi and its (incredibly stupid) code isn't put in jeopardy and he doesn't risk expulsion from the Order.

We had planned the ceremony down to the very last tiny details... well to be honest, it was mostly Devica who took care of the planning as she had done before a few weeks - possibly a month - prior for my surprise birthday party. Which was absolutely perfect, might I add!

So naturally, I placed her head in command as my older sister and also technically as my maid of honour. I trusted her with absolutely everything; and every moment I spent with her planning the event were moments I knew I would treasure for the rest of my life.

I also noticed that over the past few weeks, while Anakin, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka came and went on occasional missions, whenever they were here and Devica was taking on an independent wedding task, Obi-Wan was always the first to volunteer to help out... leaving Ahsoka disappointed every single time. I also caught them on several occasions, sneaking out of the palace on several occasions when off wedding-duty to take midnight strolls in the moonlit gardens; much like Anakin and I used to do early in our then-complicated relationship. Often on these - frequent - night strolls, that my sister would often link arms with Obi-Wan and he did not once attempt to brush her off or stop her.

This may be simply just my imagination, but I swear that one time when I was passing a window overlooking the gardens on one of the many occasions where I was sleeplessly wandering the palace, I spotted them embracing. Now, this might be my unreliable eyesight for long-distance, but it definitely looked like a hug. Unfortunately, it did not last very long and as soon as I took a double-take in disbelief, they were separated from each other again.

Anyways, Devica had spent the last 3 to 4 weeks tirelessly running around especially for me, completing any and every unreasonable or unique request without question and with a wide smile on her face. I, however, could barely make the most simplest of decisions; such as whether I wanted to wear a veil or not... luckily for me, Devica took care of that too.

The ceremony would take place at sunset in a secret glade nearby the Memorial Temple in the forest, and then the reception would be held in the Temple itself. It was to be a small event, only our most trusted and closest people to be in attendance... which is basically a fancy way of saying it would simply just be me, Anakin, Devica, Ahsoka, Obi-Wan and Rex. To be honest, I cannot even think of anyone I would want to be at my wedding than the group of people I have come to love like family, and my long-lost older sister who I adore with every fibre of my being.
