Anakin POV

"Ani, wake up! It's an emergency!" I here Padme bark.

The one thing I will attentively wake up to is that beautiful voice yelling for help. So pretty, but has such a need for help. Pretty wife plus wife that needs help equals more praise for me. And I like praise. Praise leads to a very fun aftermath.

"What's wrong Padme? Are you okay?" I yell half-awake.

"I'm fine Ani, but something has happened."

I sit on the bed and turn on the bedroom light, hoping that this so-called emergency doesn't involve me or our marriage.

"What is it, Angel?"

"It's about Obi-Wan."

Obi-Wan. The last time I heard the words, "It's about Obi-Wan," Darth Maul had risen from the dead and Obi-Wan had crashed in some cargo ship in some mountainous planet and was in the hospital for two weeks. He was devastated.

"What's wrong with Obi-Wan? I say with fear.

"Satine died. Darth Maul stabbed her in the stomach. Rumor has it that Obi-Wan was right there when she died."

I stare with disbelief at Padme. I can't believe that Maul would kill Satine. How did he even get to Mandalore in the first place without anyone knowing?"

"You're kidding, right?"I ask to my wife.

"I wish."

As I stare at the ground mumbling something to myself I didn't even know, Ahsoka pulls up in her speeder to the sky patio.

"Ani, hid! Someone is-"

"It's Ahsoka, Angel. Remember, she knows already.

I run to Ahsoka's speeder and I can see the urgency on her face. I can also see that she forgot her lightsaber. Padawans.

"Master Skywalker, Senator. I fear I am the bearer of terrible news,"

"Satine?" Padme asks.

"I'm sorry, Senator. I knew you two were good friends."

As Ahsoka and Padme share a quick embrace, something comes back into my mind. Obi-Wan. He'll be miserable. Obi-Wan was sad enough when Maul came back, but now Maul murdered the woman he loved but refused to admit.

"Ahsoka, do you know where Obi-Wan is?"i ask.

"Yes, he returned to the Temple and delivered the word to the Council. Mandalore has asked for Republic help. A civil war has started on Mandalore. Troops are leaving as we speak, Master."

"Is Obi-Wan going with the fleet?" Padme asks.

"No, Senator. The Council doesn't want anyone that had previous relations to Duchess Satine to go with the fleet. Which means that none of us will go either," Ahsoka says.

"Well, we have another problem," I say.

"What is the problem, Ani?" Padme asks.

"Obi-Wan."
