Chapter Eight

Reluctantly, Padme agreed and allowed the Imperial Leader to guide her to the dance floor. Rex and Cody followed suit, standing close enough to the dance floor where only Queen Jamillia, Fox, Padme and Vader danced.

Vader gently pulled Padme against him, holding her right hand and the small of her back. Padme held her breath, barely holding his left hand and barely touching his right shoulder. They began to sway and move to the soft music, the only sound they could hear in their own little world.

'Say Something, I'm giving up on you.

I'll be the one, if you want me too..."

"You look lovely tonight," He smiled at her, being careful not to scare her away.

"Thank you," She blushed, turning her head to the side with her eyes closed for a moment. "You look different tonight but it's a good different."

'And I am feeling so small, it was over my head.

I know nothing at all...'

He softly chuckled, spinning her around before pulling her back into his arms. "Thank you, it's nice to lose the suit every once in a while."

"I bet," She spoke just above a whisper.

'Say Something, I'm giving upon you;

I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you!

Anywhere, I would've followed you...'

"So are we going to pretend to be strangers or can we actually talk?" Vader held her a little closer, careful not to let anyone else hear him. Padme held her breath for a moment, "I don't know what your talking about..."

Vader chuckled again, spinning her around so her back pressed against his front. He leaned down to her level, meeting her gaze as she looked up at him over her shoulder.

'Say something I'm giving up on you!

I'll be the one if you want me to, oh ohh!'

"Padme," Vader looked her straight in the eye. "I just want to talk. Don't play dumb with me," He smirked, turning her to face him and pulling her flush against him.

"Not here," She looked up at him, leaning her head against his chest slightly. "After this song is over, there is an adjoining balcony to this ballroom."

Vader nodded, leading her through the final steps of the dance as the song came to a finish.

'Say Something...'

He dipped her as the crowd applauded the two couples on the dance floor. "Let's go, shall we?" Padme nodded as he helped her stand once again. Taking his arm, they weaved through the crowd as they headed to the royal balcony.
