The pink and purple sunrise sprawled across the horizon. Padme looked out from her window. Normally she wasn't up at this hour, but for some reason she couldn't sleep. Anakin had already left for the Jedi consul. But still, she couldn't sleep.
Something had been troubling Anakin lately. He had seemed unresponsive to her. She was worried about him.
They had been together for one year and things had all been going smoothly. But then something had happened that made Anakin act as he was acting now. It was scaring her.
But she could not turn to the Jedi for help. The Jedi were opposed to love. They said that it took all the sense out of you and didn't let you think straight. Maybe they were right. But for Padme and Anakin, it didn't matter. They were so in love that no one could bring them away from each other.
Padme called Abugra, her personal hand droid. She had her dress ready. It was the one that Anakin liked. It was royal blue with just a hint of gold etched into the lining. She left her hair down and loose. Being a senator required a lot of patience. She put on an overaphon. A special outer coat that all of the servants wore. She carefully stepped outside onto the air lift.
Despite the morning hour, the city was bustling with traffic. Padme stepped onto the ramp and slowly the airship took off. She was going to the Jedi building. Being the senator she was often called in to speak with the Chancellor and master Yoda.
She sat down at one of the small couches and a droid instantly brought her a drink. She absentmindedly took a sip and thought about all that had been troubling her. There were many things.
By the time the airship reached the Jedi Temple, Padme has calmed down a little bit. She thought about how she was being called in for a special breakfast between the head official representatives.
She was about to go down the steps to the ramp when a huge explosion rocked the landing space. The airship toppled over.
The Jedi nights rushed out, followed by the standard security. Anakin saw Padme's airship and thought the worst. The senator of naboo lied sprawled on the floor, breathing the last breaths of life. She stuttered, and died.
Then a hand maiden jumped up and ran over. "Cortenne! Somebody…" she yelled out. Anakin saw that there was no life left in her and he felt a small sorrow in his heart. He walked over to the hand maiden and took herinto his arms. "Padme it is all over now. She is gone. Security is going after the man." He said.
The security trick had worked, the Senator was safe.
Anakin. I missed him. I was so worried.
Anakin smiled. Again, Padme had forgotten that since he was trained in the Force, he could read her mind… "Oh, yeah." Padme said with a smile. Momentarily forgetting that they were supposed to keep their relationship a secret, they shared a quick kiss before returning to prior businedd.
Someone had been after Padme for many weeks now. She was being fully protected by the Jedi and by the Chancellor. As Padme was walking to breakfast, along with the others a hand gravved her and pulled her into the shadows.
She was about to scream for help when warm lips pressed against hers and pulled her into a warm embrace. Anakin held her in his arms, and thought about hhow lucky he was…
"I thought you had forgotten the plan," He said. "Your right, I almost did. But my skirt ha dgotten caught abd U had to free it. Those minutes saved me…" Padme replied.
Anakin's warm breath played down her back. Before she knew it he was embracing her and they knew that they were locked into a love. A love so deep that nothing could break it…..
