Over the time that Mikel got to know the queen he started to like being around her more. She was all he could think about after a little while. The he admitted it to himself, he had fallen in love with her. His main hope turned away from getting this planet to join and started being that she loved him as well. But Mikel was shy and could not get up the courage to tell her. he waited hoping that he would sometime be able to get courage to tell her.
[size=4][size=3]A few days later[/size]
[/size]Mikel had been recovering nicely. What made it even better was that the entire time he was recovering he was around Asajj. To him she was the greatest. At that point he would do anything for her. But as he was sitting in bed he was thinking to himself and got up the courage to finally tell her how he felt. At first, she took his declaration of love with surprise, dropping what she had in her hands.
Then after the few minutes of shockwore off she looked stright into his eyes. "I love you too. I didn't want to admit it to myself, but it is true. I can't hide it anymore. But unfortunately it will never work. I am a queen and you are part of the galactic coalition. We could never be together."
"But it could work. Think about it this way, if you joined then you would be part of the galactic coalition and then we could be together. But even if you don't join the coalition, I will still be able to come here a lot. And when two people love each other then they should be with each other not push each other away."
"Well, how would this work?" She asked him still wondering how it could work.
"Okay there are a couple of ways that this could work. One way is that you join the galactic coalition and we are together due to that fact. I could just come around a lot if you don't. I just got another idea. Why don't you abdicate the throne. If you did we could be together forever. You could form a democratic government and then we could try to get them into the coalition."
"Why should I give up everything? Why don't you just quit the coalition and join me as my king?"
"Well, I am not just a member of the coalition, I am also a jedi apprentice. I just didn't want to tell you yet. I heard this whole planet hates jedi."
"I judge on the basis of who a person is, not what a person is. I just wish that you would have told me sooner." She told him trying to assure him she wasn't like most of her people
"Well, I might abdicate but I must say that I should get the planet into the coalition and then abdicate making that my last wish before I leave. The people support the last wish of a queen about to abdicate."
"But before we do any of that I want to marry you. I love you and I know you love me. The normal thing for two people to do when they are in love is to marry." Mikel got one knee. "I don't have a ring yet, but Asajj will you marry me?"
Her face lit up with intense joy. Mikel suspected she was going to say yes and they were going to get married until she started to talk. "I will marry you after we at least get to know each other fully. And don't tell we know everything about each other because I only know about what has happened recently. I want to know what happened to you earlier, maybe you childhood and I will tell you the same about me." So, over the next few hours they both did their best to remember what had happened during their childhood.
After their little session of sharing, Mikel and Asajj loved each other even more. They had more respect for what the other had gone through as they both went through at least one traumatic even happen to them. Mikel thought to himself about how it could go. Hee thought he should probably do something romantic but couldn't think of anything. The he looked at her. "How do you know that you love me?" He asked her in a cheerful voice.
She thought about it for a second, getting her thoughts into words. "I just like being around you. So, how do you know you love me?" She asked back to him trying to see if he could think on his toes as well.
He also thought as he attempted to put his feelings into words." I just know. When I am around you I feel one thoudsand times more alive, more complete."
"Well, now that we know everyhting about each other I will start to set up the wedding. Maybe we should just have something small, just somebody to recognize us as married and that is it." She said as she looked up in thought aas if trying to get this perfect.
"That sounds great, how fast can we get married." Mikel asked hoping for a very short amount of time.
"Well, I can have somebody here this afternoon." She told him politely.
"Once agin this is great. I will just make sure I am completely ready as in cleaned." Mikel told her as he started to go and get ready to get washed up for the wedding.
[size=4]That afternoon
[/size]The priest got there and Mikel Goff and Queen Asajj the 3rd got married in a small wedding with only them and a witness. Afterwards they just sat there and talked about what would happen with the rest of their lives. Mikel reminded her of her plan on how to get her people to join and for them to be able to be together. But, even though that would take little actual planning, getting that many people gathered would be difficult.
So, they started to tell everyone that there would be an announcement a few days later from the queen that was of grave importance, which took them around 9 hours to do with both of them going around telling people. Not only did they tell people but they hit into a HUGE gossiper and she spread it around quicker than both of them combined. Without her it would have taken an extra 2 days. Hearing that it was of grave importance would cause a lot of people to come but Asajj also had to have a way to say what she wanted to say. Getting the words together took more time than it took to tell everyone one that there was going. She was going to tell her people many things. She was going to tell them that she was going to abdicate and that was a cause for a big speech. But also, she was going to give her last wish and tell everyone about her marriage. It took her around a week to get the words to where she felt they were right.
[size=4][size=3]A week later[/size]
[/size]Everyone in the whole city had gathered to hear the queen talk. Or at least that is what it looked like from up on top of the balcony. Mikel smiled to himself and was a little glad that he didn't have to make any speech as he knew he wasn't much of a public speaker from the little speech he had given in the training simulator. When the queen first looked over the large crown she started to lose her nerve, but she looked over at Mikel and smiled knowing she could do this with him beside her. So, she called him over from beside the door leading into the building, assuring him that it would be alright. He walked over and a few people chhered and a few booed Mikel due to the performance he had given at the gladiator games. But everyone knew that the queen had something important to say so they all got quiet when they started to hear her talk.
"Many years I have been your queen. I could not wish for better years." A loud outburst of applause as the people listened to her praise them. "As you all know, this is Mikel, who played in the gladiator games. "Another large outburst came from the crowd. This time it was a mix of anger and joy. Mikel and Asajj both looked at each other as if to tell each other that this was going to take along time. "What you might not know is that we got married this weeked. Because I love him that much that nothing will keep us apart. But now we have a problem. What you might not know is that he is part of the galctic coalition and trying to become a jedi." This time there was an even greater outburst of anger and hatred against jedi and Mikel could feel this hatred but the queen continued. "I know you hate jedi, for the longest time so did I. But Mikel showed me that jedi can be what we expect them to be or they can be like Mikel. They can be nice, caring, and overall good people. They are just people, however arrogant they may seem. Now you know about how we married but that is not all." The crowd hushed as if in expectation of what comes next. " The next thing comes in two parts. The first thing is that I am planning to abdicate the throne but I am not sure. I have to know that my wishes will happen." From the crowd you could hear the audience telling her not to abdicate and that if she was then they would gladly do anything that she asked before she left. "I would like you to join the galactic coalition. I know that is the reason I am leaving and you would probably not like them. Truthfully I really didn't even think about joining. I was thinking that the coalition was no good. That they were just going to drag us down. But then I thought about how much we need to help everyone in the galaxy. We need to not just think of ourselves but we need to be there when people need us. We are great warriors but still we only fight each other for fun. How much good do you think we could do if we committed ourselves to some greater cause. As great as we are we could easily help the galactic coatition. I think that we should join so what do you say." A huge outcray as everyone almost as if on cue gave out a 'we support your idea'.
Both Mikel and Asajj smiled to each other as they knew this was great news. Then they gave each other a hug and kissed each other not paying attention to anyone else there. They could both be with each other forever.
[size=4][size=3]Aftermath[/size]
[/size]Many great thing happened beause of Mikel going to Rattatak. He had met Asajj and fallen in love with her. Afterwards he had married her. Also there was the simple fact that he had completed his mission and helped two civilizations. He had helped the coalition by getting another planet to join. And second he helped Rattatak by getting them to join the coaliton which allowed trade to stimulate the economy and allow them to be ablt to say that they were great warriors as they could finally prove themselves against other foes that they would not be able to fight without joining the coalition.
I have gone to find myself. If I should return before I get back please tell me to wait
