"Come on, Y/N! The feast has almost started!" Meenos called out to you, a wide grin on his face.

You looked away from the painting you were staring and turned to face him. "Coming!"

You and the rest of the Jedi Defiance were on the planet Bespin where a feast was being held in honour of the Rebellion that you and Anakin had established after the rise of Darth Sidious, and the fall of the Jedi Order. Not long after Order 66, Anakin proposed to you. You of course said yes, as you had been in love with him for years, and your passion for each other only grew from then. For years, you had been putting together the Jedi Defiance; a group of 13 rebels fighting against the Sith and working to restore the Order.

Bespin invited the Jedi Defiance to an honorary ball held to show their gratitude after you saved their planet from slavery.

You followed Meenos through to the dining room where a long table stretched to the length of the walls. You noticed quite a few members of the Defiance were missing, including your husband, so you turned to Meenos with a frown. "Where are the others?"

He just shrugged, "Probably exploring this museum of a house."

"Let's find them; I don't want to disrespect the Bespinians by being late to dinner," You said, looking around the busy room. He nodded and followed you back out into the hall.

"You go left, I'll go right?" Meenos suggested, to which you agreed.

Just as you turned the corner, the breath was stolen from your chest. There, at the end of the hallway, was Anakin. But he wasn't alone.

He was standing opposite a Defiance member, Asheem, with his lips pressed to hers.

You were in shock, and unable to move a single muscle. You could do nothing but watch as the love of your life kissed another woman, every inch of your body burning.

Seconds later, Meenos' voice pulled you from your trance. "Y/N! Get over here- it's a trap!"

His shouts were accompanied by the sound of shots being fired which immediately got your attention, and you ran back over to Meenos who was breathing heavily. He grabbed and pulled you into the dining room and behind the table where you crouched down.

"Did you bring your saber?" He asked, his eyes darting around the chaotic room.

You scoffed, "Of course. What the hell is going on?" Your hand instinctively went to the handle of your lightsaber as you heard screams and more shots.

"The Bespians lied; they've been enslaved by Sidious after all," Meenos said with a glare. "They invited us here under orders. It was a trap all along, and we fell right into it."

All thoughts of Anakin and Asheem left your mind as you fought against Sidious' clones, thankful when you saw the other members of the Defiance unharmed.

After fighting and killing every last Stormtrooper on the planet, you retired to your ship. You watched as Anakin threatened their Empress Shako just before putting down his lightsaber and climbing up onto the ship.

Another member, Perrin, began to fly the ship as soon as the doors closed, and you no longer had any distractions from thinking about Anakin's infidelity.

You could barely even look at him without wanting to vomit, and stayed silent as the others discussed the events of the day. And somehow, you kept yourself from taking out your saber and beheading Asheem every time she spoke.

Halfway to Tatooine where you and the rest of the Defiance lived, Perrin turned and called out. "Skywalker, Makk; go check out the rear engines, I think there's an issue back there."
