Tina looked to Bette’s face, mesmerised at the way Bette was completely lost, her eyes were focused, her mind was focused, the concentration on the task at hand having her completely and utterly engrossed.

“Ahhh...”

Tina’s eyes widened.

“Ohhh...”

The smile reached her lips as she continued to watch the animation on Bette’s face.

“Ahhhhhh fuck...”

“Bette...?”

“Not now T, I need to concentrate on this...”

“Babe.... I love it when you put so much of yourself into it...”

“It got to be right T, you know that babe...”

“I know that Bette, you are the Lesbian Jedi after all...”

Bette looked into her partners eyes, smiling at the words, “pulease...” her word exaggerated at the statement Tina had made.

“What..., you know it’s true...”

Bette shook her head, “...myth babe, all a myth...”

Tina walked up behind Bette, wrapping her arms gently around her waist as she leaned her chin on Bette’s shoulder, “are you my Lesbian Jedi then?”

Bette glanced into the mirror in front of her, watching Tina’s face peering at her over her shoulder, she loved the way her eyes glistened, she loved the attention that she always gave her, and if she was honest, she always loved the teasing that Tina always threw in her direction..., “always babe..., but only if you are my Princess Leia...”

“Do you think buns on each side of my head would look good?” Tina asked with a smirk and a cocked eyebrow.

“Of course...” Bette smirked.

Tina’s hands grabbed at Bette’s waist, poking her in the ribs at the sarcastic remark.

Bette squirmed under Tina’s hands, “T..., please..., you know I fuckin...”

“Yeah, you what...”

“Geez..., you know I hate it when you do that...” Bette said as her squirming allowed her to escape the wrath of the Kennard hands.

“Apologise then...” Tina said, becoming slightly disgruntled.

“T… come on, you know I was joking…”

Tina moved away from Bette, turning her back to her.

It was Bette’s turn to move behind Tina, circling her arms around her waist just as Tina had done only moments before.

She allowed her nose to nuzzle into the blonde hair at the base of Tina’s neck, knowing the sensitive spot always hit the mark.

Tina’s eyes closed at the feeling of the warm breath on her neck, the feeling of the instant goose bumps running down her spine, as they always did when Bette’s nose and lips were that close to her.

“Baby…, are you gonna wear that outfit I bought for you tonight?”

Tina gave an inward smile, the moment of her slight annoyance passing in an instant, “what do you think…, I can’t have you outshining me can I…?”

“Never…, and you will look amazing…, you know how I love you in leather…”

“You’re such a charmer Porter…”

“Only with you…, I’m sorry…; you know I love your buns…”

Tina turned in order to make eye contact, her eyes lighting at the humour in Bette’s voice, “and which buns would they be…?”

“What do you think…?”

“I think we should be getting ready…, you know how they’ll all be waiting for us…”

Bette rolled her eyes, “can’t we just stay home?”

Tina smiled at the look on Bette’s face, “I thought you were all for this, all the trouble you’ve gone too…”

“T…, that’s just to shut Alice up…”

“Why do you feel the need to ‘shut her up’?”

“Just because…”

Tina rolled her eyes and turned, not even contemplating getting into a conversation about ‘just because’, she knew when to just leave a conversation go, and this was one of them.

“I think we should get ready…”

“Give me ten minutes and I’m done…”

“Ten…?”

“Yeah.”

“But it usually takes…” Tina’s words hung in the air.

“… longer?”

“A little…”

Bette smiled seeing the surprised look on Tina’s face, “I just need ten today…”

“Oookay…” Tina replied.

Bette stood in the lounge looking out through the French doors, her eyes wandering over the garden that Tina had been working on the day before.

“Ahem…”

Bette turned as she saw Tina walking toward her, the outfit she had bought for her fitting to perfection…, sheer utter perfection…

“Wow…” Bette said quietly as her eyes began to take in the vision before her, she glanced toward Tina’s feet, slowly allowing her eyes to wander upwards, lingering in certain places longer than in others…

“You like…?” Tina asked as she slowly turned, giving an all round view of the outfit Bette especially had bought for her…, just for this evening.

“You look…, amazing…” Bette mumbled as she stepped forward, wrapping Tina in her arms as she leaned forward, allowing her lips to graze Tina’s ear, “…, nice buns…”

Tina laughed, the goose bumps appearing once again across her bare skin.

“You gonna be my slave tonight…?”

“Only for tonight…”

“I’ll make it worth your while later…?”

“Deal…” Tina quickly replied, knowing that she really didn’t have any reason for the deal; she knew what she would be doing to her Jedi when they got back home.

“You ready?”

“As I’ll ever be…” Bette replied, rolling her eyes.

“Babe…, you know you’ll enjoy it when we get there.”

“Fancy dress really isn’t my thing T!”

~~~~

“Jesus, I keep tripping over this fucking robe…” Bette swore as she got out of the car, her feet tangling in the expanse of heavy weave material.

“Babe, you have to look the part…, oh and don’t forget your…, stick thing…”

“Tina…”

“What?”

“Light sabre…, it’s a light sabre…”

Tina laughed, as much as Bette was disgruntled, she knew by the look on her face and the care she had taken with her costume that she was out to impress, and she had accomplished it, even with the stick thing she attached to her rope belt.

“Are you cold T?”

“In this…? You are kidding right? It’s a fucking leather bikini you bought with a flap of material on the back and front… and you ask if I’m cold…”

Bette smiled, “you look…, so sexy…”

“You owe me for this…”

“Oh you will be paid well T…, rest assured that when I get you home, that leather will not be on you for very long…”

“But Bette…, these costumes were your idea…; actually Star Wars was your idea was for the whole gang right?”

“I know and I’m beginning to have second thoughts…, I’m just wondering what the others are dressed as?” Bette mused, “you know Alice doesn’t have a clue about Star Wars!”

“I just told her some character names and she had the option of which to pick!”

“That should be interesting… very interesting…” Bette said thoughtfully, knowing full well when she chose the theme for the gang that Alice had no idea…, whatsoever…

The Planet was packed as Bette and Tina weaved their way through the crowds, their eyes spying the differing costumes that people had created.
