After our mission, Palpatine had called us to his office where he apparently had news to tell us. So thats where I was heading. After a few minutes of navigating my way there, I pushed open the doors to his room and took a seat next to where Gale was already sat.

The Emperor was sat in a tall chair with the view of space through the window behind him.

Palpatine began,"I just wanted to congratulate you on your victory against Anakin Skywalker. Gale tells me you show great skill with the lightsaber y/n, I am impressed."

"Thank you Emperor," I bowed my head at him.

"However..." Palpatine continued, his eyes shifting to a glare in the shadows his obscure hood cast,"You failed to get Obi-Wan. I told you there would be consequences. Although... Skywalker was the one I really needed, so you may go without punishment. However I do not expect a slip up like that again, do you understand." It wasn't a question.

"Of course Emperor," Spoke Gale.

"Yes Emperor," y/n said,"We won't make that mistake again."

"I do have news though, that there is a formal gathering being held on Kamino tonight," The Emperor said in his usual croaky voice,"it is a chance to meet other Sith and discuss plans. Since I will not be in attendance, you two will go on my behalf. Take this as a great honour and a reward for your recent exploits."

A gathering? I didn't know we did them. Although this was my chance to create alliances and generate recognition from fellow followers of the Empire.

I might finally be recognised for my true strength, the skills in which I feel haven't truly been seen until now. I could become a Dark Lady of The Sith if I tried hard enough.

"We thank you, Emperor," I said, realising how big of an opportunity this was.

He waved the door open with the force and me and Gale left with a swoosh of our dark robes.

"I best get ready then, Master," I said,"I'll see you there."

I began walking away.

"Oh, y/n," He said and I turned around. He was stood towering over me, slightly hunched to try stay quite, "Just wear something... nice. I have a feeling the Emperor wants us to set a good example, show us off if you will,"

"OK, whatever," I replied,"I'll try my best."

"Good good then..." Gale said, although his brows then furrowed,"I need to check on Skywalker, you go get ready now." He turned away and began walking fast to where Anakin was being held.

He must've sensed something...

I shrugged it off and began walking to my room.

I was burrowed in my closet, searching frantically for something to wear. All I could see was robes among more robes as I searched.

Soon enough I gave up, collapsing onto my bed and staring at the ceiling as if that would help.

That was when I heard a knock at the door.

I abruptly got up and opened it, to be met by Gale with a smirk spread on his face.

"Special delivery," He chimed, passing to me a black wooden box with intricate details carved on it,"It's a gift from Cas Malvo, the ruler of Bespin, he will be in attendance at the ceremony tonight."

"I see... well thank you Patorr," I sighed, placing the box on a chair.

"Just try not to be late, please," He pleaded before nodding at me and walking off.

I wondered what was inside the package. I carefully opened the lid, the metal shining as I did so. My eyes widened at what I saw.

I lifted the fabric out of the container and held it up, amazed at its beauty. I had to get this on immediately.

After slipping into the elegant black gown, I was ready to see myself in a dress for the first time.

The dark material fit my body perfectly, hugging my curves and cascading down me like an elegant waterfall of darl fabric. After spending my whole life covering up, I'd never really shown off like this.

It made me feel powerful.

I left my room and stride down the corridors, trying my best to seem confident even though it felt odd walking with this attire. Whenever I received a look, I returned it with a glare, which was what I was used to anyway. Fake it until you make it right?

After finally reaching the ship I had spotted Patorr at, I climbed on board to see him sat at the pilot seat. He turned around and his eyes immediately widened.

"Woah... you look... amazing," He said, his eyes quickly scanning my outfit.

"Yeah calm yourself Patorr we have a gathering to attend," I said casually, blushing slightly although trying to hide it.

I climbed into the co pilot seat and watched as he carefully lifted the ship off the floor with precision, his hands guiding the controls perfectly. I almost understood which buttons he was pressing, after my own flying experience the other day.

Soon enough the familiar blue streaks were surrounding us as we zoomed through hyperspeed, on our way to Kamino.
