"I'm landing now. I should have the Senator safe in the ship to leave within the hour." Anakin spoke to Obi-Wan from his com-link.

"Yes, Anakin. May the force be with you."

"May the force be with you Master." Finally I will be back with Padme. And we can start our lives together; The right way this time.

"Hay Heather! We'll see you tonight, right?" Hayden yelled from his new jeep, rightfully titled "The Skywalker."

"Yeha, you'll see me tonight!" She yelled back at the couple. Natalie and Hayden had been going out for about a month now, and looked in love. Was she heartbroken, no. Upset that the hottest boy on the planet was taken, who wouldn't be? She was his friend though, and didn't want to ruin something like that. Heather turned and walked up to Amelia Lucas' house; Ames. There the three musketeers were to meet.

Heather reflected on the three crazy friends. Ames rightly named for her father's character. Liz, Steven's daughter who, well out of all three was the athlete. Skinny and beautiful. It was Ames and Heather's only drag. The huge CGI mogul's daughter smiled as her friends opened the door and walked in.

"We have to get ready H!" Always the nickname they dubbed. " The parties in and hour!" Both were a wreck. Heather didn't know why she wanted to go to this damn costume party any way, though she did have the best dressed there.

Natalie was wearing the infamous black dress and Ames wished to wear her father's pastel creation. All the girls though had to wear Star Wars outfits. Gown. And Heather got to wear the blessed Naboo Meadow gown. Easy to say, she didn't want to; but it was for publicity.

Anakin's scanner's said that Padme was in the house up past the hill, which on a banner bared his name. Why in hell is my name up there? At the moment he didn't care. Just as long as he could see his wife.

As he walked up through the back he saw her walk out onto the porch. No one around. It took a moment for everything to register her hair and face, the way she stood, it was all the same. His Angel was there. Was she tangible? Did she still love him? "Oh, hello Hayden. Hayden, why is your mouth open. Come here you."

Anakin's train of thought was gone. Who's Hayden? ".Padme?"

"Hayden what are you, Oh I see I'm Padme and your Anakin."

"Well yes, why did you call me Hayden?"

"Because you are." Heather took her hand out at set in on her chest, "Heather," then she placed it on his. The contact made him tingle all over. Slabs of muscle Heather never knew existed bunched up; all at simple contact. "Hayden." Anakin held her hand in his where it lay and breathed a deep breath.

"Anakin," He put his other hand up on the bare part of her skin. "Padme." With out warning Anakin wrapped his arms around Heather and had her in a punishing kiss. Her half-hearted protested slowly began to fade as the kiss became thick and deep. Drugging kisses began to float her mind like the alcohol of the party never could. Never had she been kissed like that.

Finally she regained the thought of what she was doing- kissing Nataile's boyfriend! She began to fight stronger, push away harder. She had lost herself in mindless pleasure, but why? She knew what she was doing. Why did it get so far? And in the back of her mind she asked her self why hadn't she done it before.

"Hayden!?" She brought her hand up and slapped a strong blow to his cheek. "I'm. I didn't mean to do that, but your Nataile's boyfriend. The press would have a field day! She would destroy me!"

"Why?" Anakin said in a harsh voice, still holding her firmly by the waist, "Padme Skywalker, you're my wife. I love you. If I want to kiss my wife passionately I can, and will and I am not a boyfriend to anyone. I'm yours and this woman who would destroy you will have to eat my lightsaber first!"

Heather looked up in horror, and amazement. "Let go of me. Get the hell away!" Her struggling was futile.

"Look in there. What do you see." Heather looked into the house of guests. Anakin didn't really know what he was doing, he certainly didn't see Hayden, but Heather did. It stunned her, they, they look like twins; she had to get away.

She turned her head and looked at him, "My name is Heather Black, I don't know you. Let go of me and leave this place."

"Fine I have no choice." Anakin took out a bracelet a put it on Heather's wrist. "I hate to do this, Padme my Angel, but the Senate needs you, I need you. We're going to go pack." Heather looked up in shock, she couldn't move. This monster was controlling her. Please God, help me.
