Padme's POV:

I stood in a room in the jedi temple with my hands pressed against the glass as I looked outside the window. What I saw broke my heart, my husband talking to Ahsoka Tano looking as if he was going to cry. I couldn't hear what was going on but I knew what was happening.

After Ahsoka's trial, when she was found not guilty ,before I left, obiwan pulled me aside and asked me if I would go to the temple with him. When I asked why he told me that, the council had to talk to Ahsoka and he had this sinking feeling in his stomach that she would leave the order. I told him that was crazy but, somehow I knew that she wouldn't come back to the order,she was to hurt. And rightfully so.

The door opened and obi wan walked over to me.

"She didnt accept our offer, Ahsoka isn't coming back," he said to me as he looked out the window.

We were silent for a while as we watched the end of my husband and Ahsoka's conversation. Ahsoka shook her head and then slowly turned around and walked down the stairs into the setting sun.

"Come on Ahsoka, turn around" I heard obi wan whisper. I looked at him and saw something out of place ,he was crying silently . The man who helped me all those years ago when I was a young queen and had to break into my own palace was crying. I couldn't blame him, the love of his life was killed this year by Darth Maul, and now Ahsoka had left.

I opened up my arms for a hug, he was reluctant at first but then accepted it. We stood hugging each other for a while all while bolth of us cried. Then he pulled away.

"The reason I wanted for you to wait here in case she left was because, we can't just let her off on her own," he said

"agreed, what should we do, wear is Ahsoka going to go?"

"Ahsoka still has her hologram, if you could contact her and invite her over to your apartment, maybe take her back to Naboo? it's safer on your planet then it is on this one,"

"of course," I said "I leave tomorrow morning i'll set her up with a room at the palace and we will figure out what to do from there."

suddenly my hologram went off, I pulled it out of my pocket, hopeing it was Ahsoka, but the I.D on it said Lux ... LUX! I almost forgot about him. Not many people knew but when Lux was born i was named his Godmother, and after his parents died I have been his legal guardian. He lives in my apartment when he has business on coruscant, but lives on onderon when doing work there. he also has his own room in my part of the palace on naboo. When his mother first past away wherever I went he did too. But now that he is a senator, (which let it be noted I am so proud of him) he spends more time away from me. When it boils down to it we are each others only family, (besides my husband) so I tried to have as much of a role and spend as much time with him as I could.

The past week and a half onderon sente has been in court over pressing matters. None of the senate members are allowed to leave the building and very little outside communication has been allowed. unfortunately the day the senate meetings started was on the same day they tried to unrightfully artiste Ahsoka. due to the lack of communication in Lux's senate building he was only able to hear snippets of Ahsokas story. I have been contacting him all i can but between his meetings and me representing Ahsoka in her law case the last i was able to tell him was that Ahsoka had been expelled from the order and we were awaiting her trial. I felt bad for Lux when he heard that Ahsoka was on the run he offered to come and help look for her but I told him that he couldn't leave his sente. He offered again to come support Ahsoka during her trial but once again he couldn't do that. whenever we were able to contact each other he was always had the deepest concern for Ahsoka, it didn't help that he had to overhear other member of his senate gossiping about "skywalker's padawan".

"I'm sorry obi wan but i have to take this, it's my god son" I said pressing the hologram button.

Lux's hologram appeared in front of me, he looked exhausted and worried.

"Padme! I heard that the trial was let out-" then he noticed Obi wan "oh master Jedi i'm sorry i didn't see you there."

"Hello Senator Bonteri, how goes the Onderon senate meetings? i heard that no one is being let out of the building till negotiations on the debt crisi are worked out."

Lux quickly gained composure, just like a taught him, from freak out to leader in 2.8 seconds. "you heard correctly I am hopeing to play a role in the negotiations so the senate can actually get back to severing the people but this may take some time."

"Well, good luck you have done a lot of good for your people in the few months you have been working."

"thank you sir," then he looked at me "is it true the trial is over, hows Ahsoka, was she found guilty?"

my voice almost cracked but i managed to say "Ahsoka was found not guilty"

relief rushed to luxs face "so Ahsoka isn't going to be executed, we aren't going to lose her! ... I mean she is free to go" he said embarrassed. despite the fact Lux never said it i knew he was fearing that Ahsoka would be executed (in which case i would of pulled him out of the senate myself so he could say goodbye to her) he cared for Ahsoka like a best friend, part of me suspected maybe even more.

obi wan told Lux everything that had happened and how Ahsoka was blamed by her friend.

"So she is part of the order again right? you did allow her to come back."

"We did but..she did accept" Obi wan told him

lux paused "wait...she left? she isn't coming back?"

"No,Lux she won't be coming back she left the jedi temple for good just before you called."

"So Ahsoka is... gone? Will we ever see her again wear will she go?" lux asked.

"I don't know wear Ahsoka plans on going but i'm going to go find her and bring her back to Naboo with me. We will figure out what to do from there."

suddenly a another woman ran into Lux's hologram

"senator, you need to come quickly, the representatives have gotten into a fight with the other parliament members some are threatening to walk," the women said.

"I gotta go but please contact me with any news about Ahsoka, I don't know how many more day i will be stuck here." Lux said and he hung up the hologram.

"I guess theres no use in doubting it anymore" Obi Wan said

"doubting what?"

"the force works in odd ways, sometimes it binds people together, if the bonds are strong enough i can sometimes sense that they are there. When i first saw Lux and Ahsoka together i didn't want to believe that they had a bond as strong as they did. The last time i found two people with a bound that strong it didn't end well"

"What happened the last time you found two people with a bond as strong as Ahsoka and Luxs?"

Obi wan paused then said "you and Anakin got married"
