   Sabine yells for Ezra to come into the bathroom, Ezra walks in, still fixing the red armor that Tyber had sent him, the armor that his Defilers wear, Sabine looks at her  Consortium dress uniform and looks at Ezra pleadingly "please help me button this," Ezra helps button the button on the very top of her uniform, Ezra brushes off Sabine's uniform, making sure the belt was secure, and that there wasn't hair on her uniform. Sabine grabs onto his jumpsuit collar and pulls him towards her, she kisses him intensely, while he wraps his arms around her, Sabine unstraps the chest plate of Ezra's armor, dropping it to the ground without warrant, or concern Ezra grabs both of her hands "no babe please, it took me forever to put these on," Sabine ignores him, removing all plates on the upper half of his body, Ezra kisses Sabine's lips and cheek "come on Bean, if we start this, you'll unbutton your jacket and by the time I finish, your makeup will be all messed up, can this please wait?" Sabine hops up and wraps her legs around Ezra's waist. Ezra squeezes her "Sabine, I'll ask you once more... can this please wait?" Sabine stops kissing Ezra for a moment and looks him in the eyes, smiling with her teeth "I always had something for a man in uniform," Ezra rolls his eyes at this joke "well too bad, your uniform is getting messed up, I'll have to fix it again," Sabine shakes her head  "are you, my boyfriend or my mom? Cut loose Ezra," Ezra shakes his head, this was the last straw. Ezra kisses Sabine, Sabine recoils, not ready for this until she leans into the kiss, unzipping Ezra's jumpsuit, and undressing him down to the hips, Ezra travels down to her neck while walking out of the bathroom with her and into the bedroom, the base on Yavin had much more room than the ghost, Ezra lowers Sabine onto the bed and continues to kiss her, Sabine wraps her arms around him, wanting him to stay as long as he would. Ezra kisses her on the spot right between the jaw and the neck, Sabine gasps, he was kissing the most sensitive spot she had, Sabine pushes on him lightly, giggling "Ezra stop, you're gonna leave spots!" Ezra continues as if she had never said anything, Sabine pulls away, her eyes meeting his, she could see the passion in his eyes, Sabine leans up and kisses his forehead, and looks at him once again "Ezra..." Ezra smiles and kisses her cheek "come on, we have a party to attend," Sabine releases her grip and allows Ezra to re-dress himself and fix his armor, he then turns to Sabine and helps her with her dress uniform before they disembark to Tyber Zann's ship the Merciless.

   Ezra and Sabine appear at the wedding, catching the eye of Tyber Zann near immediately, Tyber gives them a devilish smile and stands up "may I introduce my friends, Ezra Bridger and Corporal Sabine Wren?" Ezra stops and looks around, nobody noticed what Tyber said except for the bride, the groom, and a few of Tyebr's accomplices. Ezra and Sabine walk forward, the hosts sat at a long table in the center of the room, the bride and groom stand up to acknowledge their presence. Ezra was wearing the helmet Tyber gave him, Ezra walks in front of Sabine, Ezra grabs the bride's outstretched hand and brings it to the filters on his helmet to simulate a kiss, turning to the groom, Ezra reaches out his hand and gives the groom a firm handshake. Sabine curtsies for both the bride and the groom, Ezra nods at Tyber and quickly turns, giving him the cold shoulder, Sabine watches Ezra walk away and raises an eyebrow at Tyber, Tyber looks at her grimly and shakes his head. Sabine turns and goes after Ezra, staying close by him was the best way to stay safe.

   Ezra and Sabine walk around the party multiple times, Sabine notices that he was on edge, he kept his finger on his E-11 modified blaster, Sabine had her mind on something else when Ezra suddenly stops, he looks to his left and starts running, Sabine notices him running and kicks off her high heeled shoes to catch up to him, Ezra makes his way to the table where the hosts sat, Tyber turns when he hears Ezra's loud footsteps and reaches into his jacket to draw his pistol, but it was too late Ezra football tackles a server who was standing innocently by, Ezra lifts his armored fist and pounds it multiple times into the server's face, Tyber puts away his pistol and Sabine pulls Ezra off of the server, the captain of the defilers, Mochin, turns to Ezra "What in the hell has gotten into you soldier!?" Ezra reaches into the server's shirt and pulls out a gun, not a regular blaster, but a dart gun, most likely filled with lethal liquids. Ezra hands the dart gun over to another server, who immediately takes it away for examination, Ezra's helmet distorts his voice and makes him sound like a radio, Ezra turns to the hosts "my apologies, Ezra picks up his E-11 blaster rifle and bows. The bride whispers something to her fiancee, he nods and walks up to Ezra to shake his hand "I thank you for saving the life of my bride and me, anything you desire shall be granted to you," Ezra looks around the room and removes his helmet, "sir..." Sabine cringes, he was going to say something stupid, she knew it "I'd really like a beer," many of the people in the room laugh, this was a strange request, but he was a strange soldier. People go about their business once again, merrymaking and having conversations that they would forget after heavy alcohol drinking, the bride stands next to the groom, she looks at Ezra "you know Tyber, you never told me you had such handsome soldiers in your ranks," the groom examines Ezra "yes, he would be perfect if it wasn't for that scar on his cheek," the bride lightly slaps him on the arm "oh Wu, scars make men," Wu looks at Ezra inquisitively "is that true soldier? Do scars make men?" Ezra looks at the ground, wanting to find the perfect answer, Ezra looks back to Wu "no sir, scars don't make men. Their actions make them," Wu nods "true, very true," Ezra looks over at Sabine and smiles, Sabine walks up to Ezra and loops her arm around his, Ezra leans down and kisses her. Sabine leans her head on Ezra's shoulder, Ezra wraps his arm around her, looking back at Wu and his bride "you see Wu, what others think of you doesn't matter, what others feel about you doesn't matter..." Ezra looks at his bride "as long as she does..." Ezra looks down at Sabine "and as long as she does..." Ezra looks back at Wu "everything will be alright," Wu nods "indeed young man, indeed," 

   The day of the wedding was very uneventful, they landed on Naboo and had the ceremony peacefully, Ezra was designated as one of the bodyguards who would walk beside Tyber and the bride, as he handed her off. Ezra was given a red cape that flowed down his right shoulder to cover his modified E-11 blaster rifle. Later on, Ezra and Sabine walk around the area that the event was taking place in, Ezra carries his helmet with the cape slung behind him while Sabine carries her shoes while they walk over the rocks and small springs that litter the land. Sabine and Ezra walk in silence until Sabine lifts her head "you know Ezra, I've been thinking of something," Ezra squints at the sun "and what would that be?" Sabine raises her hand to cover her eyes "we've grown so much and so quickly that I don't think we even noticed it. I feel almost like I'm fourteen again, I just realized here very recently that..." Sabine stops and slowly grabs both of Ezra's hands, entwining her fingers with his "We're not kids anymore Ezra, we've grown so much, you're so handsome and strong now, and with everything that's happened, well... I just don't want what we have to ever end, I want to feel every day like I'm fourteen again, I want to wake up every day with you Ezra, and... and I want to love you till I die," the sun sits to the right of Ezra and the left of Sabine, Ezra's eyes dilate, the blue circles exaggerate, turning blue like the sky, Sabine's eyes turn light as caramel, Ezra slowly lets loose of Sabine's hands and reaches up to unclip the cape that was draped around his neck, Ezra slowly wraps the cape around Sabine and goes to one knee, taking her left hand in both of his. Ezra looks her in the eyes, searching himself deeply "Sabine, forgive me for my ineloquence but I want to show you how I feel about you and I've studied the Mandalorian traditions," Ezra lets go of Sabine's hands and places one hand on his knee, and the other on his helmet that he had sitting on the ground. Ezra bows his head "I Ezra Bridger..." Sabine was amazed, he was taking the oath, the oath of forever loyalty, she was taken aback "Ezra..." Ezra continues "I hereby lay down my armor," Ezra pushes away his helmet "my sword..." he unclips the lightsaber and presents it with both hands, "and my life... I take to the teachings of Mandalore and offer to you, Sabine Wren, of clan Wren, under house Visla, I swear this oath unto you, my armor, my sword, my life, and my love. And so your teachings say, that if the oath should be broken by either..." Ezra places his lightsaber beneath his neck with his finger barely hovering over the button "I shall forfeit myself of my life," Sabine was on the verge of crying, she stoops down on both knees and takes Ezra's face in her hands "Ezra, please don't do this," Ezra looks her in the eyes "I am loyal to you Sabine, are you?" Sabine slowly pulls the lightsaber away from his neck and cups his face in her hands "yes Ezra! I am loyal!" Ezra smiles and closes his eyes when he opens them, he surprises Sabine by singing for her in Mando'a.

   Tyber stands on a rock, providing an elevated area where he could see the young couple, Tyber sighs "young love, it's beautiful," Urai walks up behind him "yes, much like Marci," Tyber's face falls, a frown appears on his face "I thought we wouldn't talk about Marci anymore," Urai continues "you and her went together so perfectly, I remember when we befriended her, for me she was easy to spar with and easy to talk to, and for you... well, the two of you confined in one another," Tyber felt awful, he missed her so much, she was the only one that he truly ever loved, he couldn't believe that she'd passed so soon. Tyber swirls the liquid in his cup, before drinking the rest down, Urai speaks again "so, we're not going to kill them yet?" Tyber shakes his head "Nah, we will need Ezra later, as for Sabine... we'll have to see,"
