Padmé and Anakin had decided they wanted to host a Christmas party for two reasons.

Reason one being that Christmas was coming soon and reason two being that since it was the holidays, that would mean they would get to hang up the mistletoe and hopefully, with a very slim chance, could get their two friends, Obi-Wan and Satine, under the mistletoe together.

Unfortunately, back at Satine's house, where Obi-Wan was supposed to pick Satine up, things weren't going well...

"You're late! Again!" Satine yelled. "Oh, am I? I'm sorry I work different hours at my job than you do at yours!" Obi-Wan yelled back. "Oh, don't give me that crap! You spend more time getting fawned over by women than you do at keeping track of when your job starts or ends! If you would pay attention, maybe you would have a better sense of time!" Satine yelled, nearly to the point of choking the man in front of her.

Then Obi-Wan got that look in his eye. The look he would always give before making a sassy comment just to infuriate her more...

"Jealous much... Darling?" and... there it was. Satine bit her tongue to keep herself from lashing out and saying something she'd regret. Instead, she took a deep breath and tried to gather all the calm she had left in her before speaking. "Obi-Wan..." And then she lost it. "Don't call me Darling! In fact, don't ever talk to me again!" she yelled, crossing her arms and walking to the door with her keys and jacket in hand.

Obi-Wan was speechless. Did she really just say that...? Obi-Wan thought to himself. Surely she was just angry... she couldn't have meant it... could she...? Obi-Wan continued to think about it for a moment before he realized something and smirked. Even if she doesn't want to talk, she still has to at Anakin and Padmé's Christmas party. Obi-Wan thought, running out the door to his car to find... WHAT?! SHE TOOK MY CAR INSTEAD OF HER CAR?! How did she even find the keys?!

"Where are Obi-Wan and Satine?" Padmé asked Anakin, while serving drinks to their friends. "I don't know, Obi-Wan said he would pick Satine up after work but-" Anakin paused, seeing Obi-Wan's car coming up the street. "Found them," Anakin said, laughing slightly. "Oh good! Could you get the door for them? I'm still serving drinks," Padmé asked her six-foot husband. "You got it," Anakin said smiling, before kissing his wife's cheek and going to get the door. What he found at the door however, was not what he was expecting.

Satine looked up from staring at her feet. "Oh, hello Anakin," Satine said with a forced smile. "Uh, hey Satine... how are you?" Anakin asked hesitantly. "I'm fine, thank you. How are you?" Satine asked while trying to casually avoid eye-contact. "I'm uh, good. Thanks. But uh... where's Obi-Wan?" Anakin asked, wanting to know why Satine was here, in his best friend's car, yet there was no sign of him. "Oh um... h-he'll be along soon..." Satine said nervously.

Anakin could clearly see that they probably had some kind of argument that had made her upset, but decided not to push things. "Alright. Now come on in, before everyone eats all the fruit cake and cookies!" he said with a laugh. Satine smiled. "Thank you very much," she said laughing slightly while walking into the gorgeous house.

Anakin returned to his place by Padmé while Satine mingled with most of the guests. Some were friends and some of which she hadn't met before.

Meanwhile, Obi-Wan was trying to find Satine's keys so he could take her car instead. Blast that woman! She must've taken them with her... Obi-Wan thought to himself, after he searching for the cars keys and failing to find them. No problem. She thinks I need a car, I'll just walk. He thought, before quickly rethinking his plan. Wait a minute... Padmé and Anakin live three streets away... alright. Slight problem...
