As Darth Vader's secretary, I'm expected to show up at all of the formal events. Dinners, dances, parties and fundraisers. (Yes, fundraisers. Death Stars cost mucho credits, my friend.)
Now, I don't think I look bad or anything. (My mom says I'm cute.) But trying to find a date for these things is a chore in and of itself.
Stormtroopers are out of the question. No way. That leaves the junior officers and officers. For some reason they are more than a little nervous about taking me to a function.
Could the fact that my boss is Lord Vader - Sith Lord and second in command only to the Emperor himself - have something to do with it? Maybe. *sighs* Lord Vader can get a little protective sometimes. It's worse than having a dad that's a cop, polishing his gun when your prom date comes by to pick you up.
Maybe a bounty hunter? Yeah, they tend to be a little on the rough side, but they don't seem to be scared of Lord Vader. *sighs* Not that I know many bounty hunters. And don't even mention Boba Fett. He is uber-creepy.
HuttPR said I could use one of his slav-- er, escorts for the events. That's really sweet of him. *smiles*
Although having someone go with you that wasn't going just because they fear the Wrath of the Hutts otherwise would be nice.
Oh well. Back to work.
HuttPR has male escorts? I thought all he had was young, nubile females from a wide variety of planets.
ReplyDeleteSo did I! But he says he has guys, too. We'll have to wait and see.
ReplyDeleteActually, if you research Hutt biology, it makes a certain amount of sense that they have males, as well...
ReplyDeleteWell, that's true. I haven't really researched it, just heard rumors....
ReplyDeleteThat guy you had a drink with seems interesting though.
ReplyDeleteOh, you mean @StarScorcher? *blushes* Yes, he does seem very nice.
ReplyDeleteOh, blushing? So, you like him then?
ReplyDeleteI...well.. *blushes* Yes. I like him a lot.
ReplyDeleteHe's not like the other bounty hunters. He's polite, and considerate, and very gentle.
I see. I'm actually quite happy for you.
ReplyDeleteDo you think this might lead to something serious between you two?
Sorry, my curiosity's been piqued, that's all.
*BLUSHES* Serious? I...I don't know. I mean, we just met.
ReplyDeleteBut I do know that I'd like to get to know him better.
Well, the blushing seems to indicate that you already thought of such serious things before. You seem quite taken by him as well.
ReplyDelete*blushing* Well, he is very nice. He's quite a refreshing change from the stormtroopers.
ReplyDeleteBut...I mean...I haven't thought about getting..um...serious yet. Much.
Hmmm, so does that mean that, had you not been in a place so chock full of Stormtroopers, you might have not been that impressed with him?
ReplyDeleteOf course, I realize that it's quite early to entertain thoughts of seriousness. I was only curious about what you felt.
*laughs* No, that's not what I meant at all. I would have been impressed no matter what, but being around stormtroopers all day, every day, only makes him all the more impressive by comparison.
ReplyDeleteHe is a gentleman and also strong and self-assured. I really like that.
Aaah, sounds like quite the character. I do look forward to hearing more about him. Do you intend to post any entries about him here?
ReplyDelete*blinks* I....suppose I will. I hadn't really thought about it before. *smiles* I'm sure I will.
ReplyDeleteI'm already getting excited. Don't keep your readers waiting!
ReplyDelete*blushes* Maybe I should work on that post next.
ReplyDeleteReally? Oh, when would it be posted if that's the case?
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping tomorrow at the latest.
ReplyDeleteNice! We (or at least, I) await with bated breath.
ReplyDelete*smiles* I'll be sure to post a link when I'm done.
