Chapter 57

I walked to Anakin and Obi Wan, who had their backs turned to me. "So, any idea what Van Harron looks like?" I asked from behind them as I fixed my hair. They turned around and looked me up and down.

"I couldn't tell you. I do know that you need to keep your eyes out for a man with a black rose pinned to his suit. That's all the information we have." Obi Wan explained. Feeling Anakin's eyes burn into me, I tried to get us going, "Alright, are we ready?"

"Yeah, R2 started the ship already." Anakin spoke with his eyes still fixed on me. "Good, lets go." I said while I walked up the ramp and into the ship.

We went in the cockpit and Anakin sat in the pilot's seat with Obi Wan next to him. R2 was beside me as the ship took off into space.

"Obi Wan, put in the coordinates." Anakin told him. Obi Wan started to press the buttons and told Anakin once he was finished, "Done." Anakin pulled the lever and sent us into hyperspace.

"I'm gonna change. Don't do anything funny you two." Obi Wan stood up and walked out. Anakin spun his chair around and smirked at me. "What?" I crossed my legs. "You look amazing." He said.

"Thank you. I would say the same, but you're not wearing your outfit yet." Anakin smiled, "I don't think so. I won't look as good as you." I rolled my eyes, "Cheesy." He smirked, "You like it."

"Sure." I finished. We sat in silence while I stared out the window and Anakin staring at me. "You really have a habit." I spoke, still looking out at the bright blue lights.

"I can't help it, you know that." Anakin smiled and leaned forward, grabbing my hand. He held it in his hands and kissed the back of it, "If he lays a hand on you-" I interrupted, "I'll be fine Anakin, trust me."

"I do trust you. Its just I don't want to see you get hurt." He said. I leaned forward in my chair and placed my hand on his cheek, "I'll be fine. You and Obi Wan are gonna be there too." I gave him a kiss.

Anakin kissed back and smiled, "I like your hair." Laughing, I replied, "Thank you. Now go change. I want to see you in a tux." Anakin stood up, "Whatever you say." He walked out of the room, leaving me and R2 alone.

"How are you feeling about this, R2?" I asked the droid. He beeped in response, saying that he feels okay. "You're gonna do great. You always do." I told him. R2 beeped happily and rocked from side to side, making me laugh.

Obi Wan walked in the room in a grey tux and had his hair slicked back. He sat down next to me, "Remember, a black rose." I nodded, "A black rose pinned to his tux."

I smiled, holding my necklace that Anakin gave me for our marriage, "Thank you, Obi Wan, for the dress and the shoes, they're beautiful. I'll pay you whatever the price was." Obi Wan chuckled, "No need for that, y/n. You look stunning."

"Thank you so much." I grinned. A few minutes later, the door slid open and Anakin walked in. He was wearing a black tux with his hair brushed. What a stud.

Anakin sat in the chair and leaned back, staring at me once more. "Stop. I mean it." I spoke through the force. "Never." He smirked.

Finally, we jumped out of hyperspace. The desert planet of Cantonica was a orangish-yellow. Ships flew with us down to the surface and to Canto Bight, the coastal city with casinos and racetracks and where the rich would gamble whatever they pleased.

Our small ship landed on a platform outside of the city. "Stay with the ship, R2. We'll call if we need you." Anakin said. R2 beeped and stayed in the cockpit. We stood up and walked out of the ship to be greeted by a silver droid coming to us.

"Are you here for the ball?" She asked. "Yes." Obi Wan answered. "This way." The droid led us to a transport. I looked behind me at Anakin and he shrugged.

Obi Wan stepped into the ship along with Anakin and I. The droid took control and began flying. "So what's the plan?" I asked. Obi Wan crossed his arms, "Y/n, all you have to worry about is impressing Van and getting him to talk. Anakin will be disguised as a guard and I will be in the crowd as a guest. Anything goes wrong, com link us."

"Will do. And if anything happens, I got this." I held up my lightsaber. "No, no, no. You can't have that. Take this." Obi Wan handed me a dagger. "Anakin I know this is hard to hear, but y/n, if things happen and he finds your saber the mission is doomed." I could feel Anakin's concern building.

"If he makes you uncomfortable, send a signal to me." Anakin said. "Alright." I sighed and turned around, lifting my dress, putting the dagger under my garter that wrapped around my thigh.

Turning around to them, the ship stopped. We stepped out onto a circular platform, seeing many fancy and wealthy people. Ahead of us was a tall and large golden building with too many windows to count. It was mesmerizing.

Stepping up the stone stairs, I held my dress until there weren't anymore. As we walked side by side, my heels clicked against the stone. Entering the building, the red carpet led straight to a large, golden staircase that overlooked the ballroom.

Before walking down it, Anakin held my arm. "Be careful, my love." I kissed his cheek, "I will. I love you." He replied, "I love you too." Anakin went off to the side.

Obi Wan and I wrapped our arms together and began walking down the stairs. "Do you see him?" I asked. "I think he's much closer than we anticipated." Obi Wan looked at the bottom of the staircase.

Averting my gaze to the bottom of the stairs, a handsome man with short, dark brown hair with a black rose pinned to his tux waited. "Wish me luck." I whispered as we approached the final step.
