A/N - This fan fiction was requested by and is also dedicated to my friend, christineskywalker735746.
I hope everyone enjoys it :
Summary – Padmé is a singer making a music video. Assignation attempts have been made on her life. Newly knighted Jedi Anakin Skywalker is placed as her protector and is under cover as her back up dancer. Naturally Sparks fly. The Jedi code doesn't not exist.
Same ages as in AOTC.
Disclaimer – I do not own Star wars, the characters, not even Anakin (sadly) and I don't not own "Afrodisiac" that belongs to Brandy.
.x. The mission .x.
The newly knighted Anakin Skywalker walked towards the council room. He ran his left hand through his cropped hair; still expecting to get his fingers intertwine with his padawan braid. His Jedi cloak billowed out behind him, leaving the gentle, cold air to sweep the back of his calf's through his Jedi trousers.
His master Obi-Wan had informed him that he was about to go on a undercover mission on his own. He didn't know who he was protecting. But he knew it was a famous singer and she had had several attempts on her life. At that moment he was just happy he finally had a mission on by himself.
As he passed a chronometer, he noticed he was ten minutes late. He quickened his pace from a walk into a sprint, until it became a run. He dodged and skidded past the other Jedi and younglings, who where wondering around the temple. As soon as he reached his destination, he gave himself time to catch his breath. The huge metal door looked like a giant jaw, which would engulf him in a second. He knocked loudly and used the force to open the heavy barrier between him and his peers. It opened with a sharp hissing noise.
As he stepped through into the room, his boots made a loud thumping noise on the hard, tiled floor. The elders of the council watched as he strode closer and closer. He gulped the lump in his throat. He hated been the centre of everyone's attention. It made it worse he was known as the "hero with no fear", people always wanted his attention, but the problem was always he didn't want theirs. When he reached the spot in the middle of the room he stood perfectly still.
"Good to see you, it is Knight Skywalker" He nodded his head in respect and smiled softly to himself. He could never understand why Master Yoda couldn't speak in correct sentences. He assumed it was something to do with his species. He had never mentioned the matter to the master himself. He held him too high of priority to disrespect him.
"Its good to see you too master Yoda" He said raising his head back up and looking at green creature. He turned his attention to the next council member. "And you Master Windu"
"Good afternoon Skywalker" They both nodded to each other. Anakin stood with the sound of his heartbeat thumping loudly in his head. The room was deadly silent.
"As you know, undercover you will go" Yoda began. Anakin nodded in agreement and waited until he continued.
"You will be protecting a miss Amidala on Naboo" Master Windu carried on. Anakin's eyes widened in shock. He had always wanted to meet Padmé Amidala. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on, even if it was through a holo-vid.
"Know her do you?" Anakin shook himself from his thoughts.
"No master but I have heard of her" He stated. "She sang that song 'Afrodisiac'. I believe"
"Yes, and now she is making the video to it" Master Windu announced. "You will be going undercover as we have said numerous of times."
"What will I be under cover as master?" Anakin asked with a hint of excitement in his voice. He saw Obi-Wan sign and look down. "What is the problem Obi-Wan?"
"You will not like this Anakin" Obi-Wan said. Anakin knew he wouldn't, no one knew him better than Obi-Wan.
"What is it?"
"You will be undercover as a ……." Obi-Wan paused.
"A?" Anakin was getting a bit annoyed now. He wanted to know what was so bad about it.
"A back up dancer" Anakin's mouth dropped open. He stared at the elders of the council.
"What?" He asked in a cold, sinister voice. His eyes were dark, annoyance glistened in them.
"It's the only way to ensure her safety." Anakin thought about it for a moment. He would have to dance, and most definitely would be on the holo-vision. But it was a once in a lifetime to meet the one and only Padmé Nabberie. He sighed deeply and looked at the floor.
"I'll do it" He said in a voice that was just above the whisper. But the council members heard him with no difficulty.
"Settled it is then" Yoda said firmly. Anakin looked out of the window towards the city. He was regretting it a little bit now. "Leave now, you may. Sleep you will need, leaving first thing you are"
"Thank you masters" He nodded and exited the room as quick as he could. He walked at a slow pace towards his apartment. When he got to his, he opened the door and stepped in. The welcoming heat wrapped around his cold body. He placed his cloak on the hook and went into his bedroom. After placing his tunic on the back of a chair, he climbed into bed. The duvets were warm but lonely. He placed both hands on the back of his head and sighed.
"What have I got myself into?" He asked the empty room. His question echoed back at him. He closed his tired eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep.
"I am Anakin Skywalker" He extended his hand to be greeted with a smaller feminine one.
"Pleasure" Came a sweet voice. Anakin was sure he could lose himself in her voice.
"I am here to protect you senator" Senator Sabé smiled at her Jedi protector. "As is my master Obi-Wan" Her smiled faded and Anakin smirked.
"Oh well two head are better than one I suppose" She turned away, placing delicate garments into a large silver suitcase. He stepped behind her.
"Do you need any help milady?" She shook her head and turned to face him.
"No thank you Anakin" He nodded and before he turned she grabbed each side of his face and pulled him into a deep kiss. Anakin hesitated and pushed against her. When they broke apart Anakin took a few steps back.
"Why did you do that?" He asked bitterly.
"I wanted to and I thought you did too" She said smiling softly at him.
"I am sorry senator, but I didn't" He turned to walk away but stopped when he heard her voice.
"You will do one day."
Anakin shot up in his bed and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.
"It was just a dream" He told himself. He would have liked been friends with Sabé but nothing more. A few months after that incident her and Obi-Wan got together. Anakin was happy for them but mostly because she wouldn't bother him anymore.
He laid his head back on to his soft welcoming pillow. He settled and was happy, that didn't last long. Not five minutes later, the alarm went off.
"Arr" Anakin moaned. He yawned and through the duvet back from his body. The cold air hit his chest hard. He shivered. The temptation to pull the cover back was overwhelming. But he knew he had to get up. Today was the day he met Padmé Amidala.
It took him no longer than ten minutes before he was ready to leave his apartment. He took a quick look around and closed his door behind him.
Obi-Wan was awaiting him on the hanger. When Anakin approached him he laughed.
"A back up dancer." He burst out laughing making Anakin angry.
"Shut up Obi-Wan" Anakin said sternly. Glaring at his master. Obi-Wan shook his head and pulled his friend into a brotherly hug.
"Take care Anakin" They pulled apart and Anakin nodded.
"I will, I promise" They shook hands and Anakin headed towards his transport. The ship wasn't that small but Anakin knew his room would be. He walked through the crowded corridors towards room "36G". When he got their he took a deep breath and walked in. Just as he thought stuck in a small, insignificant room. He sighed and threw his case onto his bed and sat on the floor. After a few minutes exhaustion took over, he managed to lift himself to his feet and make it to the bed. Before his eye lids closed again.
It took five hours to get to Naboo. Anakin had slept most of the time. Nothing else was really worth his energy. When he had awoken he went to the cafeteria but it was full, so he decided against it and went back to his room.
He picked up his bag and made his way towards the exit. He stood on the hanger and waited. When the crowd had cleared out he looked around wondering where he was meant to go.
"Looking for me?" Asked a sweet, melodic voice. He turned around to come face to face with, Padmé Amidala.
