My dearest Calypso,
By the time you will be reading this I will already be gone. I lost a friend, a good friend. I need time alone in a familiar place with familiar people. I have returned home to Atla with the rest of our sisters to grieve the loss of Hardcase. Do not follow, please, first of all I need to be alone but most importantly I know how much you love that clone medic. Stay with him, Cal. Please, get what the rest of us cannot have, love. True, pure, and relentless love. You have found it and we all envy you but we also all relish in your victory with you. Even Caroline and Courtney. You have an opportunity before you that the rest of us only dream of. Take your chance, sister, before it is ripped away from you and you find yourself shattered beyond repair.
Your sister,
Cosette

Calypso handed the letter to Kix who read it over. He looked from it to Calypso. Running away with her never seemed so tempting before now. She truly was the only sister who even had the slightest chance at true love any more. Caroline was too busy with queenly tasks, Courtney was forcefully engaged to another, and Cosette lost the man she had pursued to the perils of war. Calypso was the Canto sisters last chance at a fairy tale ending. But Calypso had ran to him. And Cosette encouraged her to stay with him. But for how long? Surely she planned to return home with Caroline once her business on Coruscant was finished. "Calypso," kix spoke softly as he looked down at the blonde who looked up at him with wondering eyes. "How long do you plan on staying here?" He asked, "well, with me, I mean." He added, fumbling slightly over his words. Calypso smiled slightly, the pure sight sent a spark of jollity to kix's chest.  "Forever." She signed and Kix couldn't help but smile

"My dearest Courtney," Finnian of Agamar said with a wide smile to princess as she stepped off of the ship that had docked on his plannet. "How lovely it is to see you. You're as beautiful as the day I first saw you." He added but Courtney kept her disapproving gaze. "I should hope so since that is the only virtue that seems to matter to you and your incredibly dull mind." Finnian only sighed in response. There would be no winning her over and he knew that. So where charm failed strict kingship would have to prevail. "Right then, I believe a ring is in order for these things. Here you are." He said as he tossed a glistening ring in her direction. Courtney caught it and eyed it skeptically. It was beautiful, of course, the finest a king could acquire but it lacked the emotion of a true proposal. "Go on then, put it on." Courtney glared at the prince before slipping the ring on her finger. It felt as if it carried a weight greater then that which could be felt. The bondgage to another whom she did not love was finally setting in.

"Queen Caroline." Rex said as he stopped in his tracks. Crossing paths with the queen was not on his to do list but some how it had happened. "Captain Rex," The Queen began, "what are you doing in the senate building?" She asked curiously with a tilt of her head. "Delivering a message to general Skywalker." He replied. "We are needed to help fight on Ringo Vinda." Rex told the queen. "So you're leaving?" The Queen asked. There was a disappointment to her voice. Caroline had just had the captain return to her and now he was being ushered off to battle again. But so was the life of a solider. Her feelings for him could not keep him retained from his duties. "Again?" She added and Rex sighed. "You know I have to go." Caroline looked at the man, truly looked at him. She wanted to gently touch his cheek, caress it and whisper soft kind words to him. She wanted to give him a quick kiss on his forehead to display her growing affections for the strong captain but it was not meant to be. Not in the open where anyone could see. "It's your duty." Caroline said with understanding. "And returning to my people is mine." This time Rex's eyes widened. "You're leaving too?" He asked and Caroline nodded. "With the senate's approval on it's alliance with Atla I must return to my people. I have already been away too long." She noted. "How about a proper farewell tonight?" The captain proposed with a sudden rush of boldness. "Rex..." "I'll meet you at your quarters."
