"No matter where you are, my love will be with you. Now be brave, and don't look back... don't look back." Shmi told him.
"I love you so much." Anakin stated. "You too Aaerie."
"I love you Ani." Aaerie cried as she hugged her brother tightly. "I don't want you to go!"
"I'll be back Rie-rie, I promise." Anakin squeezed her. Shmi turned him around so he is facing Qui-Gon, and off he marched, like the brave little trooper that he was. He marched right past
Qui-Gon, starring right ahead, tears in his eyes, determined not to look back.
Suddenly, the dream turned. Aaerie was walking in the desert and heard a sound she had never heard before. It was like a 'upshhh' and then turned into a long buzzing sound. Up ahead, the little human saw a green tube of light cut a whole through what looked like a Tuskin Raidor hut. She decided to follow the tube and the human-like creature holding it. Once she was safely inside the tent, Aaerie saw an older version of her brother holding a beaten version of her mother. Aaerie watched as her brother begged their mother to stay alive as Shmi Skywalker died slowly, whispering:
"I-I love you...." Anakin screamed in fury and Aaerie saw his eyes go from their normal shade of sky blue to a scary fiery orange. Anakin ran out of the hut and killed every single last Tusken and then turned to go back into the hut but something was different. Anakin morphed into a horrible black creature with a black mask. The creature raised it's blood red lightsaber and was about to strike Aaerie....
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Aaerie screamed and fell out of her bed with a loud thunk. She looked at her surroundings, she was home in Tatooine. Her brother was a Jedi and her mother was down the hall or by the sounds of the fast footsteps, coming to find out who screamed.
"Aaerie? Are you ok?" Shmi asked her only daughter.
"Yeah mom, I'm fine. It was just another dream," the auburn haired girl stated and climbed back into bed. She then noticed that her mother was half-dressed. "Where are you going?"
"What I do every morning," Shmi said, smiling.
"Can you not go today?" Aaerie said hopefully.
"Why sweetie?" Shmi said worriedly.
"I just have a bad feeling, that's all,"
"I'll stay for a few hours but after that I have to go harvest the crops. Ok honey?" Shmi said to her little girl.
"Ok Momma,"
"Now you need to get some sleep baby," she said and forced her daughter to lay down.
"You'll still be here when I wake up, right?"
"Of course Aaerie," Shmi said and hummed a familiar melody that almost instantly put Aaerie to sleep.
Aaerie stretched and yawned after a few hours of sleep. She stood up and walked to her dresser and looked in her mirror. Her fiery red hair fell in messy curls over her eyes. Brushing her long hair into a messy bun, her sky-blue eyes became known. After changing into a tan tunic over a dark brown tank top and tight brown pants, Aaerie skipped off toward the garage where her step-brother was.
"Hey Aaer," he said after tightening a bolt on their ancient speeder.
"Need some help Owen?" Aaerie giggled when the bumper, which Owen was trying to secure, fell off.
"Yes please," Owen said, smiling as Aaerie happily helped him.
ASASASASASJVJVJVJVJV
"Hey mom," Aaerie said as she and Owen entered the kitchen after finally finishing the speeder.
"Aaerie! look at you! You're covered in grease and oil!" Shmi started to fuss but Aaerie would have none of the that. She moved back toward the door to the outside.
"Bye mom, I'm going to see Julni!" Aaerie ran out the door before her mother could protest. A few minutes later, Aaerie was in the newly fixed speeder, toward her friend's home. Just as the speeder stopped, a girl the same age as Aaerie ran out.
"Hey Rie!" called the girl.
"Hey Jul!" Aaerie responded. Julni pulled Aaerie out of the speeder and started to drag her somewhere. "Jul, where are we going?"
"You'll see," she said with a smile that made Aaerie a little nervous. She was dragged into a small tavern and into a booth. "We're going to get you a date for the party!"
"No, no way!" Aaerie hissed. If it was one thing that Julni wanted, it was Aaerie to have a date.
"Come on! Please!" Julni whined and pulled a pout. Aaerie shook her head and looked away. She looked toward a boy, tan-skinned, had messy brown hair and tall. "That's Jase Vilat."
"Yeah, I know. He came over yesterday to drop off a part for the speeder," Aaerie said and rolled her eyes when he waved.
"Oh! You got that look!" the red-head squealed happily. Aaerie gave her a confused look. "You know the look you have when you like someone!"
"Do not likehim!" Aaerie hissed "He was so rude and arrogant!"
"Fine, whatever you say," Julni huffed and looked around the shop. For the next few hours Julni pointed out a few boys but Aaerie shot everyone down. After the last one Julni whined:
"Why not?" Aaerie refused to look at her. "Oh Aaerie! I'm so sorry! I didn't know you weren't over him yet!"
Julni grabbed Aaerie's hand while she looked in her lap. Aaerie had been going out with a Zelosian(1)by the name of Rivan. They were happily together for two years, Aaerie had given him everything but her virginity. One day, she went to surprise him with a visit and she found him half naked, making out with someone she thought was a friend. She had broken up with him on the spot. He didn't seem bothered by it but it made Aaerie cry herself to sleep every night for about 3 months.
"It's ok Jul," Aaerie said after a long moment, "The party's in a month, I'm sure I'll find a date by then."
TWO WEEKS LATER: NABOO, THEED, NABERRIE FAMILY HOME
Anakin smiled as he followed Padme down the road. Up ahead were two children playing, who ran to Padme when they saw her. After she hugged them, they raced around R2. Anakin smiled and followed the dark haired beauty to meet her parents. Her parents were kind and welcomed him with enthusiasm. He tried to hide his smirk when his sister thought he was Padme's boyfriend. Oh how much he would have loved Sola's thought was true. After a delicious dinner with the Naberrie family, he and Padme's father went for a walk around their large field.
"So Jedi, tell me. Is my daughter in so much danger that she has to have a Jedi with her at all times?" The elder Naberrie asked worried about his youngest.
"Mr. Naberrie.." Anakin began but was interupted.
"Ruwee."
"Ok, Ruwee," Anakin smiled, "Padme is in more danger then she realizes. The Confederacy believes she is too bold, daring and powerful. She goes against almost everything they want to happen. So to get what they want, the Confederacy believes killing her is the answer."
"My little Padme, why couldn't she have picked a simple non-threatening job?" Ruwee chuckled darkly.
"Well, if it's any help, having her in the Senate seems to make it better. She seems to want to help everyone and her audacity helps other senators to be brave enough to stand up for their people."
"Thanks son but lets get off this depressing subject. What's life like as a Jedi, I've heard it's pretty exciting?"
"We get to travel everywhere, see new things but it's a bit lonely sometimes. We're suppose to be peace-keepers but people expect us to save them from everything," Anakin said truthfully, "But I love it."
"Ah," the older man said, for the next couple of hours, the two talked about a number of things from philosophy to slavery to combat styles to politics.
THE NEXT DAY: NABOO, LAKE COUNTRY, VARYKINO
It surprised Anakin that he had no nightmares again for the last two weeks. The only thing he dreamed of was Padme and he hated how even the dream Padme effected him so. Another thing that bothered him was after seeing Padme's family, he missed his own. One day, after another dream of Padme, this time swimming in the lake with nothing but a tiny bikini on beckoning him, Anakin decided to clear his head by meditating. He was becoming quite bored until a soothing presence come. He smiled and moved slightly.
"Don't go," he said as he felt her start to more toward the door.
"I don't want to disturb you," Padme's apoligetic tone made him smile.
"Your presence is soothing," Anakin reasured her. Turning around, he was graced with her beauty, even after having been sleeping.
"What's troubling you?" she asked, Padme had somehow always known when he was upset.
"After seeing your family, well, it made me realize how much I miss my own."
"Why can't you see them?"
"The Jedi.....they forbid attachments, which includes my little sister and mother," Anakin said solomly and walked nearer to the balcony.
"Well, I feel the need to visit Tatooine and you need to follow your mandate to protect me," Padme said slyly. Anakin smiled and happily thanked her.
