The Next Day...

Poe searched all night looking for the mystery girl; but she was no where to be found. He returned to the palace empty-handed. However with the shoe that Ben found, the King and Queen were able to think of a way to find the girl. They made an announcement, which made its way through town. Jade and her stepsisters were at the marketplace when the announcement was made.

"The prince has declared his love for the mystery princess, for which she wore diamond shoes to the ball last night. It is an order that she presents herself to the palace at once. If she does, the prince will therefore marry her. If not, every maiden in the kingdom will try on the shoe until the shoe fits. Once she is found, the prince will marry her" Finn said making the announcement to everyone.

Jade immediately ran home and went upstairs to her room to look for the shoe and the rose. She looked in the place where she put them, in a hidden compartment under the wooden floor. This was where she kept the items that meant the most to her, such as a family picture from when she was younger and her lightsaber. She opened the compartment to find that the shoe and rose were no where to be found.

"Are you looking for these" Lady Hux asked. Jade turned around to see her stepmother holding both the shoe and the rose. "Give them to me" she said. "Where did you get these" her stepmother asked. "They were given to me" Jade answered. "Given to you? Nothing is ever given. You must pay for everything" Hux retorted. "That's not true. Love is free" Jade said. "No it's not. Now if you were to have what you want, this is how it will go. When you get married, I will rule the kingdom. Gwendoline and Christie will get married off to wealthy Resistance soldiers and I will take care of that boy that the King and Queen call a prince" Hux fired back. "But he's not a boy" Jade said. "And who are you. You are a sad and lonely little brat with no parents, desperately trying to win the heart of the prince. You have amounted to nothing and you are nothing. You just leave everything to me" Hux said not showing no remorse.

"No" Jade said. "No" Hux repeated. "I am way more powerful then you think. My parents may be dead; but their spirits live within me. You maybe my stepmother; but I'm sure as hell not going to let you walk into the palace like you own the damn place. I will protect the kingdom and the prince from you and I will die for both of them if I have to. I'll do everything in my power to keep them away from you" Jade told off her stepmother. "Well that is a mistake" Hux said.

Just then, Lady Hux threw both the shoe and the rose into the burning fireplace right next to her. "No! W-Why? Why are so cruel and mean" Jade said on the verge of tears. Hux stood there in silence. "ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION" Jade said raising her voice at Hux. "Because what you don't know is that I am with the First Order. I am a First Order General just like my husband, Armitage Hux. Ever since Ben Solo turned back to light and became the prince once again, I was sent to Naboo to seek out Resistance plans so that we could obliterate them. So that the First Order can rule the galaxy. Now I can see that you are just like him, a piece of Rebel scum" Hux said as she then proceeded to shut the door and lock Jade in her room. Jade ran to the door. She started to cry and bang on the door begging to be let out. "NO!!!!!!!" Jade screamed out in agony.

Meanwhile at the palace...

Ben screamed as he woke up from a bad dream, however it seemed too real to be a dream. He was hyperventilating and covered in perspiration. Luke, Han, and Leia ran into his room after hearing his heavy breathing and screams. "Ben what happened? Are you okay" his mother asked. "No, I saw the girl I was with at the ball last night and she's in pain. I feel that she's in danger" Ben told his family. "It was probably just a nightmare, kid" his father said. "But it seemed too real, it was like I was actually there and the events were unfolding right in front of me" Ben said. "Wait Ben, is the girl you were with force-sensitive" his uncle asked. Ben nodded. "You had a force vision. They foreshadow events that are currently happening and will happen in the future. That vision you had was real" Luke said.

"There was something else. Someone from the First Order is on Naboo and I believed that this person is holding her captive" Ben told them. His family was stunned by what he just said. "I have to go save her before the First Order takes over the kingdom and the galaxy" Ben said as he put on his shoes and walked towards the door. Ben's father stopped in front of the door, blocking Ben from leaving the palace. "This is what's going to happen. Luke, Poe, and I are going to find the girl who fits the shoe. As for you Ben, you are going to stay with your mother and help her prepare for your wedding. Finn will also help you get ready. Because once we bring back the girl, the two of you will be married immediately" Han said.

Ben groaned as he sat himself back on his bed. "Don't worry kid, we will get her. I promise. And if we see the First Order spy, I will take care of it" Luke said reassuring his nephew that everything will be okay. Ben didn't like the idea of not going; but he nodded his head slowly. Luke patted his back and walked out of the room with Han and Leia. As soon as Han, Luke, and Poe left the palace to find the girl, Ben started to help his mother prepare for the wedding; but little did they know that the prince had another plan in mind.
