It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters. Even if he is a Jedi!
"My dear Mr. Organa," said his lady to him one day, "have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?"
Mr. Organa replied that he had not.
"But it is," returned she; "for Mrs. Jan Ti has just been here, and she told me all about it."
Mr. Organa made no answer.
"Do you not want to know who has taken it?" cried his wife impatiently.
"If you must indulge me," Bail answered.
"Jedi! Dear, members of the council have taken a base here on Alderaan. What am I to think of it? Perhaps, just think for a moment, that our friend Padme Amidala might find a husband among them?"
Bail sighed. "Surely, Breha, for the 100th time already, Jedi are not allowed to marry. It is against their code, so she may not take a husband there."
Bail pressed the holovoid paper and continued mulling through the headlines.
"There are also ranks to consider. Senator Amidala, would outrank most Jedi, unless he was a Master, and even that wouldn't do as he would be wholly consumed by his duties."
"Oh..." Breha mumbled. "What a shame. You know, Senator Amidala is of age and must marry soon, according to statute. If she does not marry, her place among the senators would be lost. She will be stripped of her title! Even worse, she would be denied her inheritance."
"I am well aware of the consequences, madame. We have similar laws on Alderaan. Why do you think I married you?"
Breha snapped a handkerchief across the table at bail. "Mr. Organa, how could you say such a thing!"
"Surely you realize I speak in jest. Just be aware my love, that Senator Amidala is to make haste and marry , but not to any of the Jedi. You cannot imagine the consequences if she were to make such a mistake."
Mrs. Organa, promptly ignored her husband's warning and prepared a batch of organic based cookies and traveled to Netherfield by carriage to see the Jedi with her own eyes. Perhaps, convince them to hold a dinner, or maybe even a ball. Bail would raise violent objections to such a request or intrusion, but it's never stopped her before.
After a short ride, Mrs. Organa was out of the carriage, big poufy dress billowing behind her in the wind as she neared the new Jedi Netherfield manor. But before she could knock, a young padawan opened the door, perhaps, already having sensed her arrival. Breha held the plate of cookies before her and smiled at the young Jedi.
"Yes, yes, thank you for letting me in. Is the master of the house available?" she asked, looking noisily over the padawan's shoulder.
The padawan was a young man, tall, good looking with an intense stare.
"Yes, I'll let Master Obi-Wan know you've arrived. May I take your coat, Milady?"
Breha shrugged out of her overcoat and gave it to the padawan. "Pray tell, what is your name, young man?"
"Anakin. Anakin Skywalker."
"And what is your rank?"
"I'm a padawan learner. But I'll be a Jedi soon!" he finished.
"Sure you will. You're a tall healthy young man..."
"We'll be on Alderaan for a while, I suppose. I was hoping Senator Amidala would be here."
Breha smiled. "You've met Senator Amidala?"
"Yes, of course. We're old friends," Anakin said. "Though, I haven't seen her in ten years."
What he could not say, was that he's loved every single day of those ten years. In fact, Anakin even fancied he'd marry her one day.
Anakin led her to the Den, where Master Obi-Wan meditated. Unfortunately, their approach broke his meditation.
Obi-Wan Kenobi rose from the mat where he sat before the fireplace, and looked down his nose at Mrs. Organa and Anakin.
"Hello, hello! Master Obi-Wan, it is good to see you. I've recently been made aware that the Jedi have taken ownership of Netherfield Park?"
"Yes, we have. Unfortunately work has necessitated a lengthy stay here on Alderaan."
Obi-Wan fixed his gaze on Anakin, then turned to Breha again.
"Well, work aside, Senator Organa and I are having a ball and would like to invite you. You simply must come. It's a custom, here on Alderaan, for neighbors to celebrate the arrival of newcomers with either a ball or elaborate dinner. I assume you wouldnt' want to offend-"
"No, of course not," Obi-Wan answered.
"Excellent, then we shall see you there, sir. Good day!"
"Mrs. Organa, will Senator Amidala be there?" Anakin asked.
"Unless, my god daugter has designs on breaking my heart, let us assume that she will."
With a smile and wink, Breha was gone.
