Hawk showed Kay backstage. Kay's uniform looked cute. "Dont be nervous. You have the easy job tonight." The backstage had a mirror and bar attached to the wall for performers to warm up.

Hawk looked through the racks of costumes before finding the one that he wanted. It was a Zorro type costume with black mask, cape, sword and everything else that went with it. Hawk quickly changed into the outfit. He ran through a few warms up using the bar. He was pleased that he was still flexible and gracefully.

"How do I look?" He asked Kay.

Kay was too busy fussing with her uniform and avoiding watching Hawk practice. She looked at him though when he asked. At least he was mostly clothed for the moment. This wasn't exactly how she wanted to see her best friend.

"You look the part of a funny story that I'll tell your daughter when she gets a little older. You can even threaten to dance for her at her parties if she misbehaves."

At least Hawk was going to get most of the attention. Thankfully. "Hopefully this is over quickly..." But knowing her luck, the minutes would drag.

Hawk laughs. "Don't you dare tell her about this..she will die of embarrassment. but I do like the ide of using it against her when she is teen."

Max stuck her head backstage. "Come come.. The bride has arrived. Kay must get the ladies nice and drunk before the show start." Maz looks at Hawk. "Only down to the g string. No nude. Don't want to repeat of last time."

Hawk grins. He had almost forgotten about that. "Can't make any promises." He gives the a wink.

Kay smirked at Hawk and then looked to Maz. "I'm coming, I'm coming." She hurried out, all the while hoping and praying that she doesn't see Hawk naked. It was bad enough that she might see him nearly nude as it is. But of course she was planning on doing her best to keep her back to the stage.

She grabbed a notepad and pencil at the bar and started at her first table. Kay wasn't much of a drinker, so she'd have to keep track of what was what.

After Kay left, Hawk practiced his routine in the mirror. He looked good. Jedi training had kept end him in shape. The women will eat this up.
He walked backstage and peak through the curtain at the all women audience. They were all twenty something. The bride wore a fake crown on her head.

He spotted Kay bring them their drinks. Maz walked on the stage. "Ladies..tonight a rare performance from the masked lover. He will dance his way into your hearts." The ladies hooped and holler.

Hawk walked on the staged in time with the music blaring and came out from the fog cloud. "Hello Ladies. I hear one of you gals are getting married." The girls pointed the bride out. Hawk flashed her lopsided smile as he danced toward her. He removed his cape.

Oh no. Here it goes. Kay made her rounds, making sure to hide her face from the stage whenever she could. Things slowed down for her once Hawk started his....performance. She looked up at the clock any chance that she could, but the minutes seemed to go by so slowly. How long were these types of shows to last? At least it wasn't her up there. But still...this was a side of Hawk that she hoped to never see again.

Hawk tossed his cape aside. He ripped his shirt open in tune to the music showing his 6-pack. The ladies were going wild waving their money. "Take off." The bride yelled. Hawk tossed his shirt to her. She squealed when she caught it. Hawk danced his way over to her. In front of their table. He pulls off his pants revealing his black g-string. He gyrates his hips in front of them as they stuff money into his strap.

Maz chucked at the sight of him on stage.. "For someone that didn't want it. He looks like he enjoying himself." She comments to Kay. "Keep them,coming."

The bride and couple of bridesmaids jump,on stage and dance along,side of him. Maz shakes her head as the bride and Hawk kiss.

Kay just grumbled to herself as she took more orders. How did it come to this? He was enjoying it too much. Her tips weren't all that high and she figured as much. Most of the money was bring given to Hawk.

She had half a mind to throw an empty glass at Hawk when he started kissing the bride. That was going too far. She was someone else's bride to be. Would he want a fiancé of his to be making out with a stripper before they were to be married? More than likely not. Yet anything that she would do would make her seem as though she was jealous. But she wasn't. She was disgusted and embarrassed almost to the point of leaving.

Kay looked to Maz and almost pleaded with her. "Can't it be over soon??"

Maz shakes her head. "He is going to get into trouble with that. Her man is...is very connected to underworld." The bride wrapped her leg around Hawk 's waist.

Maz sighs. "Too far." She goes behind bar to get a bucket with ice cube and water. "Time to cool them off. Here you toss on them. Make a comment..funny comment." Maz was to small to do that. She got on the mike from the bar. "Ladies.. Ladies.." Trying to get their attention.

Hawk was caught up in the moment. The bride fingers were buried in his hair. Her fingers were trying to untie his mask. She wanted him badly. She didn't want to get married. It was an arranged marriage between her father and this gangster. He was old enough to be her father.

Kay almost snatched the large bucket of water and ice from Maz. "With pleasure." She stormed over to the two of them and hurled the water an ice, being sure to mostly hit Hawk with it. "Time to cool off! You're too hot to handle and you're stealing all of my tips!" That was about as funny of a comment as she could muster. She wanted to smack him upside the head too. He was being a complete idiot right now, gone back to his old ways. If that was his plan, well, she'll just buy her own ticket off this floating rock and find somewhere to hide for a while. It wouldn't take long for people to forget about her. She knew that from experience.

Most of the water hit Hawk. The two of them separated. The bride playfully slaps Hawk while tucking a huge tip down his strap. Giggling she steps of stage.

Hawk flashed a lopsided smiles to ladies as his body glisten with the ice water. "That is my cue to leave, ladies. Make sure to tip your waitress well." He makes one more lap to collect his tips than saunter off the stage to the back room.

Kay saved him from getting into trouble. He collects his money from his body. He chuckles as see a lot of the money had comlink number.

Kay didn't have much tips to collect, but that came as no surprise. Afterall, she wasn't who they were there for. She waited until the last of the tables was clear of customers before putting her tray on the bartop. "Remind me to never do that again, Maz."

She gave the short lady a frustrated huff before heading into the back room to get changed. Hopefully it would have given Hawk enough time to put some clothes on. Kay wanted to lecture him, but what would be the point? Instead she just remained silent as she got into her normal clothes that she was comfortable in.

Hawk hadn't change yet. He was too busy counting. "10,000. Wow. Boy still has it." He stand and hands Kay the credits. "How dis you do?" He ask her as he goes behind the curtain to change. He finds another couple of hundreds in his boots. "There enough their to buy me a new ship." He figures that his ship had been torn part by Prana.

He comes out fully dress. "Kay it safe to look at me now." She so funny. He saw her trying not to look at him. If the tables had been turned. He would have checked her out.

 

[Kay-Larr]

Kay didn't think that he would get that much. There must be bigger bills in the pile than she thought. Still, it was dirty money, considering where it was put. She set it down on a make up table while he was getting changed and then cleaned her hands. "I didn't get anywhere near that. Maybe 50 credits." At least they wouldn't have to do that again. And if she had it her way, the chances of it happening again were never.

She looked at him once it was safe. "You promise me that we'll never do this again, and I'll promise not to tell Maddie or your mother."

 

[Hawk Solo]

[member="Lady Kay"]

"That is a pretty good deal. I promise we won't do that again. No telling my mom or Maddie." His mom would be horrified that he used his talent that way.

"Let's go to tell Maz. We are in business. Time to attack Prana" he says to Kay. He walk out the stage door. Maz was cleaning up the place. "We got the credits."

 

[Kay-Larr]

[member="Hawk Solo"]

"Good." And by that she was referring to the promise.

Kay let Hawk take the money to Maz, afterall, she just washed her hands. "Yes, hopefully it's enough. Please tell me that it's enough..." She couldn't endure another night of seeing the man that she thought of as a brother, to strip down next to nothing and make out with a stranger, one that was someone elses bride to be to boot!

"How much?" Ske asked Hawk. "10,000 credits." He answers Maz. Maz purses her lips together. "That could work.. Do you still want to go through with this plan?"

"Yes. I do." Hawk says glancing at Kay.

Nate strides into Maz's castle. He had left the kids with Sarah. "No, your not going after Prana. That is crazy even for you." Maz greets Natw with a hug. She had called him while Hawk was on stage. "Your don't have a ship, any troops..no weapons, do you want Maddie to be an orphan?"

 

[Kay-Larr]

[member="Hawk Solo"]

Kay figured that the second guessing was for a reason. Maz seemed to know what she was talking about. So why didn't she stop them before?

She caught Hawk's glance, but then was distracted when Nate came in. "What do you suggest then? It's not as though there is some police force to arrest him."

 

[Hawk Solo]

[member="Lady Kay"]

"Exactly Kay...there is no police force but there are other ways than direct assault that doomed to fail. And probably kill both of you. If we are going to do it. We need to plan it carefully. Have everything in order. Including funding, troops, weapons and ships. You will only get one shot at this. How much funds do you have?" Nate asked them

"10,000" says Hawk. Nate nods. He doesn't even wanted to know how they got the money. "That good for a start. We will need more. I'm thinking about 500,000 credits." Says Nate.

Maz glances at Hawk and Kay. "Sorry Nate is right. I don't have that kind of credits to give. All I can do if offer steady employment."

Hawk shakes his head. "No.. Not going to do that. We could gamble." He suggest to Kay. "What do you think?"

 

[Kay-Larr]

[member="Hawk Solo"]

Kay was just fine with leaving Prana alone for a number of years and then maybe go after him when he had forgotten about them. But she knew that Hawk wouldn't let this go so easily.

500,000 credits though? That was crazy money. There was no way that she was going to wait tables for decades to get that kind of money. And she didn't want to witness Hawk stripping to get that kind of money either.

She chewed the inside of her cheek. "I'm a horrible gambler, so one of you would have to do it. Unless either of you have anything that we could auction off?" That Sith medallion could have worked. But that thing was hopefully destroyed.
