My Courtesan - A Star Wars/Moulin Rouge Crossover (Don't read if you haven't seen the movie!)
--Standard disclaimer, all things Star Wars belong to George Lucas, and all things Moulin Rouge belongs to someone else, I'm not sure who
--
My love, Padmé. And the Moulin Rouge. How I curse the place, and yet, without it, I would never have met her. My beautiful Padmé. And now she is dead. My love is gone.
They called her the Queen of Diamonds. She definitely could have been. Her beauty surpassed all others. When I walked into Coruscant that night a standard month ago, and yet a lifetime ago, I never expected what was to come.
My Master, Obi-Wan, had encouraged me to come here. To meet the beautiful Padmé, who held the love of the establishment's owner, Ric Orlie. If I could convince this siren that our cause was true, she would see that it came to pass. Our cause, as it happens, was a play. A play embodying the Republic ideals, truth, beauty, freedom, and above all love. A play that I was to write, Obi-Wan was to act in, and Padmé was to star.
The Moulin Rouge was the only establishment big enough to hold the play. I had to convince Padmé. The only question was, how?
"Just tell her you are an accomplished writer from Naboo." Obi-Wan counseled.
"And how am I to pull that off?" I asked him.
"Win her, you must. Poetry you shall tell her. Love your work, she shall. As do we all." Yoda informed me.
What else could I have done? I dressed in distinguished garb, discarding my Jedi robe, as did Obi-Wan, Yoda, and the others who placed their faith in me. And so we set out for the Moulin Rouge, to sell my talent to a courtesan.
*****
Chaos. That is the only way to describe it. Complete and utter chaos. Men and women twirling, cavorting, committing illicit acts on the dance floor. I was caught up in it all. The lights, the sounds, everything. And, suddenly, it all stopped. That was when I saw her for the first time.
The Naboo are glad to die for love.
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental,
But diamonds are a girl's best friend.
A kiss may be grand,
But it won't pay the rent on your humble flat,
Or help you feed your pussycat.
Men grow cold,
As girls grow old,
And we all lose our charms in the end,
But square-cut or pear shaped these rocks don't loose their shape,
Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
Tiffany! Cartier!
Cause we are living on a material world,
And I am a material girl.
Come and get me boys.
Black Star, Rosco, talk to me Ric Orlie, tell me all about it!
There may come a time when a lass needs a Jedi,
But diamonds are a girl's best friend.
There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer thinks you're awful nice,
But get that ice or else no dice.
Here's your diamond, sparks are high, but beware when they start to descend.
Diamonds are a girl's best…
Diamonds are a girl's best…
Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
Exotic. Gorgeous. Enchanting. There are a million words to describe her, and yet not one comes close. She floated above the crowd on a heli-pad decorated with sparkling babbles and dew-fresh flowers. Yet, even the tear-shaped diamonds dangling from her ears were dim and cheap when compared to her radiance. She seemed to glow before my eyes as she sang out with her liquid voice, caressing my ears with a beauty of sound so exquisite it brought tears to my eyes.
"A meeting I have arranged, yes. Just the two of you. Alone you will be. After her song."
Those words were like a balm to my already aching soul. To think, an angel like that, alone with a poor Jedi writer like me. Alone. Little did I know that at that very moment, Ric Orlie was promising the same meeting to another. A much more unsavory fellow. Senator Palpatine.
He was rich. He could fund the play. He was obsessed with Padmé. Ric gave him what he wanted for the price offered. I often wondered what Ric would have done differently in that instant. And yet, it was Padmé who agreed.
Through a series of misunderstandings, I suddenly found the elusive nymph in my arms. She led me out to the dance floor, and I was in heaven. She was everything I could ever desire and more. And now she was in my arms, confirming what Yoda had promised. Our private meeting after the show. She was teasing, playful, and utterly desirable.
And, just like that, I was left bereft of her presence again. She was suddenly out of my arms, and back on the heli-pad. I was awestruck. I made my way back to my table as she finished the last line of the song. But, something wasn't right. She stopped before she finished, and, hand to chest, fell from the pad! One of the men that worked at the establishment caught her in his arms, and the entire room became hushed with worry for her safety. We were led to believe, by Ric Orlie, that it was all part of the show. And I, unwittingly, believed. Like everyone else in the room.

I tried reading a few crossovers, not all mind you, and they didn't work for me because they tried to stick Obi-Wan in Christian's role, not even changing the lines. That didn't work for me because I cannot see Obi-Wan ever becoming the Bohemian type. Qui-Gon, yes, but not Kenobi.
I'm glad to see the roles changed to Ani/Ami in this one. It's much easier to buy that they could play these characters somehow.
Good work, keep going!

Thanks! I didn't like the Obi-Wan idea because that made him the staring role, with no lead female.
I did make him in the story, as one of the characters, but I didn't want to have to create a lead female while leaving Padmé and Anakin with supporting roles.
Just didn't seem right. I'm glad that you like it.

Well it's the automatic thing to do...put Obi-Wan as Christian, cos they're both Ewan McGreggor!! But Ani/Ami is better cos who the hell would Obi-Wan fall in love with?? His single!

You can have him from StarWars and Moulin Rouge. But I get real life Ewan, or Nightwatch Ewan (in the movie he was Martin Bells), I know about your card board but out of him, I believe it was once in your profile!
Oh, he is cute! I will take the real- life Ewan Gordon McGregor! Oh yeah

I'm sorry everyone, but I've been wrestling with how to do this next scene... um... shall we say, tactfully? I've got some of it, but I want some more before I post it.
I'll get it out to you as soon as I've got it done, and thanks for being patient with me!
I want to change a pg-13 scene into a g scene if at all possible, and i'm sure you can all see the hang up there w/o totally destroying the story.
