The Unchronicled Adventures of Ahsoka Tano, Book Eight

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Morning

 AHSOKA TANO

Ahsoka awoke the next morning curled up against a warm body. Lux. For a moment, she thought that this was just another lovely dream, but then she remembered the two of them dancing in the Ballroom the night before. 

She sat up, the covers falling around her waist and revealing the skimpy camisole top she was wearing. She smiled down at her sleeping husband. When he was awake, he never looked this peaceful. They both worried far too much. She brushed his bangs off his forehead, and he stirred. She was about to get out of bed when he grabbed hold of her arm and pulled her back. 

"Don't go," he whispered, and she moved back to his toasty side, pulling up the blankets. He was like a heater, and she, like most Togruta, liked being warm.  

"I won't," she promised, stroking his face with one hand. He leaned in and kissed her very softly, taking great care not to go too fast. 

"What was that for?" she asked when they parted. 

He pulled her into another loving embrace, then kissed her again, a little harder this time. Soothingly, he murmured, "I had to make sure that you were real. I don't want my angel to fly away on me." 

"She's not going anywhere... Though I don't know if 'angel' would be the most apt of descriptions for me." 

He laughed, planting another light kiss on her forehead. "Figure of speech, Socks. You know what I mean." 

She nuzzled his neck, burrowing her face into his fuzzy old t-shirt. "I know you know." 

"I know you know I know!" 

"I know you kn–" 

The door suddenly opened, but Ahsoka didn't jump out of her skin. Neither did Lux. Instead, he calmly looked over at her to make sure that the blankets were covering her body and adjusted the corners that didn't live up to his expectations around her.  

As he turned to address the intruder, he suddenly broke out into a smile. "Jani!" he called, sitting up. 

Ahsoka recognized the young woman at the door as Janira Elt, a captain under Saw's command. She didn't know Janira well, but apparently Lux did. She couldn't help but feel a little jealous. 

"Do you two know each other?" she asked, and couldn't stop a warning tone from creeping into her voice. 

Janira nodded. "I've heard a good bit about you, Ahsoka." 

"Socks, you're not going to believe what she told me yesterday." He sounded genuinely excited, and she couldn't help but smile as well. "Janira, tell her!" 

"I'll leave that to you, thanks," she said, leaning up against the doorframe. 

Much to her dismay, as her source of heat was gone, he got out of bed and went to stand beside her. "Ahsoka, I found out something else about my family. It's turns out that Jani here... She's my sister. I have a twin sister, and I never knew." 

She sat upright, shocked. "What!" 

But he just nodded. "If you don't believe me, then look at her." She obeyed, looking the young woman up and down. "Now look at me." 

Ahsoka gasped. The physical resemblance was astounding! Janira was nearly an exact copy of Lux, but in a female form! 

"I don't believe it," she muttered in wonderment.  

"Well, do, because it's true."

*Ahsoka now knows what Lux has found out about his family. But, with the sharing of information, what new questions and answers will come to light? And what are Darth Vader and his Master planning? And when will Darth Maul, apparently another pawn in the Emperor's grand scheme, strike again? You'll find out in the next thrilling chapter of The Unchronicled Adventures Of Ahsoka Tano!

Hey guys! This was another Chapter Of Extreme Fluffiness, but I had to somehow put Lux telling Ahsoka what he learned about Janira into the context. And besides, I just like writing about Luxsoka!

Discover that the princess you fell in love with is actually your twin sister and may the Force be with you,
