Circle of Love
Disclaimer: Everything that is Star Wars is George's
Anakin and Amidala and Bail are all the same age.
I don't know how or when this happened, but all I know is that I have slowly but surely fell for my best friend...
In a Galaxy far far away, there once lived a young man and the love of his live. Anakin Skywalker is the chosen one, and the whole Galaxy knows it. His amazing discovery on the planet Tatoonie was one of the most shocking news in the century. Ever since, holo news reporters have followed him everywhere. From his first lightsaber to his first mission, he couldn't even nap without a holo recorder in his face. His best friend Bail Organa doesn't even get all this attention, and he is the most eligible bachelor of this universe, since Bail IS the heir to Alderan, the riches planet in the universe. The two became best friends after that faithful year when Anakin and Bail was both 11 years old and Anakin dove in front of the young prince and saves Bail from an assassination attempt. From that point on the two boys had been inseparable. Due to their connection, Alderan has become Anakin's favorite and most frequently visited planet.
Since Bail is still a young man, he attends the University of Karal, where most young nobility studies. Anakin also frequently visits Bail there and of course to check out the amazingly great looking girls that Bail is seeing. Anakin does not know how to communicate with people from the opposite sex; it's like missing from his genes or something. He got the speed, strength, intelligence, charisma (a pretty good public speaker), coordination, but all that seems to go away. Maybe he just hasn't met the right girl yet. Once he finds her, he will find his tongue.
This trip to Karal is a special one, cause his usually calm and cocky buddy sound too excited on the phone. Something big is up, or someone huge is in his life. As soon as Anakin received that message he asked the council for permission to take a break. It has been a while since he took one, all the missions has taken lots of his time. You know it does take time to keep the order of the Galaxy; it's pretty big you know. Anakin slowly eased his vessel onto the docking bay. He hops out of the pilot seat expecting a very cheery young man to greet him but instead he sees nothing, not even a trace of his best friend. Anakin acts as though he wasn't slightly hurt by his best friend's disappearance but he is sure that Bail has a good excuse. Anakin struts into the administration office and found out that there is a message there for Anakin from Bail.
"Hey buddy, sorry that I am not there to greet you, I am sure you are a little choked but you will act all tough by now anyway. There is this annoying meeting on Alderan right now so I have to be here for a week. There is no point for you to come here cause by the time you get here it would be half way through the week and then fly back it would just be a huge mess. So why don't you enjoy yourself for a week and wait for my return. I have already set up a room for you on campus. Go out have fun. Most people don't follow stuff with the force anyway so you are basically an unknown here. Enjoy it while you still can buddy."
Anakin laughs at his friend's cheeky comment and thanked the headmaster when she handed him his room key. A week without the limelight would be great for Anakin. He slowly trotted around campus with the two duffle bags that he brought. They are mainly NON-Jedi outfits because the council thinks that it would be best if he didn't attract too much attention. Using his keen sense of direction Anakin easily found his room. He scanned the key over the scanner and placed his eye in front of the retinal scanner. Everything checked out and he is in. The room was a nice cozy one. Very much like his room back at the temple, a bed and a window. Anakin changed out of his tunic and took a long deserving shower. After he is done, he checked the monitor and sees what was the schedule for the day. For once his schedule was empty, just a slot for dinner. Wow, Anakin is actually at a lost without anything to do, he never really had free time before. Anakin picked up his feet and decide to go walk around campus, not knowing that he will bump into the love of his life.
Anakin wondered off to a little clock tower right in front of the main library. He is at awe with the beauty of the lake that is right behind the tower. Then suddenly he hears this cry for help. Using his keen Jedi sense, he quickly located the life form in distress; he jumped in the lake and quickly fetched the drowning young boy. It only took minutes to get the boy out of the water and to calm him down, but it also took only minutes to attract tons of attention.
"So much for a peaceful vacation." Anakin blushes at the complimenting praises. He still can't handle compliments well yet. The young boy is fine, he just cramped up when he was swimming that is all. The mother thanked him and invited him to dinner Anakin reluctantly accepted the offer. Not that Anakin had anything better to do that night anyway, and he is sure that it beats cafeteria food.
Anakin had to take another shower before he leaves for the young boy's house. He hopes out of the shower and picked out something that is more formal because after all he is going to be a guest. He picked out a pair of khaki colored pants and a blue long sleeves shirt that matched his ocean blue eyes. The instruction on the map was simple enough for Anakin to find the house on the first try. Anakin knocked on the door and a very sweet voice came on the COM link.
"Who is this?" said the angelic voice.
"Err... I am the young man who saved the boy's life this afternoon." Anakin replies not knowing what to say really.
"Well come on in, we have been expecting you." And with that last comment, the door swung opened. The driveway that leads up to the mansion was gorgeous. Anakin haven't seen so many different types of flowers before. The main door was open before Anakin even got to it. There a robot unit guilded Anakin to the waiting area. Anakin waited for a couple of minutes and before he knows it the young boy attacked him. The boy gave Anakin one of the most vicious hug.
"Thanks man, if it weren't for you I have no idea what would happen to me." The boy cried.
"No problem, what's your name again son?" Anakin manages to squeak out.
"Edward Naberrie III, but you can call me Eddie. All my friends call me Eddie and I think I want you to be one of my friends." The boy can spit out like 30 words per second.
"All right then, Eddie, why don't you call me Ani since all my friends call me that." Anakin replies with a wide grin.
The boy is star struck; Ani is his newfound idol and hero.
"You are not giving this nice gentleman a hard time now are you Eddie?" The angelic voice speaks again. As a matter of fact the angel voice was watching the whole time.
"No Padme I am not, how can I give Ani any hard time, I LIKE ANI." Eddie answers her big sister.
"Good." Padme says and gently kisses her much younger brother on his forehead, there is a ten years gap between them. Turning her attention to the man she speaks, "Thank you so much for saving my brother's life this afternoon. I am Padme." She offers her hand.
"I am Anaki..." Before he can finish Edward interrupted him.
"And this is Ani," Edward grabs Ani's arm and fling Ani's attention towards himself. "You wanna go see my room?"
Padme laughs at her little brother's eagerness. Anakin blushes not really knowing what to do in this situation, and manages a half smile. Padme is captivated by this smile and unknowing found herself staring at this stranger and cannot peel her eyes off of him.
Before Anakin get a chance to see his little admirer's room, dinner is ready. So Edward reluctantly brings him back downstairs to the dinning room. The food smells great, much better than the high-end cafeteria food that Anakin has been eating for the past. Oh 12 years. Anakin haven't felt so good in a long time, people joking around at the dinner table, passing the corn and the mashed potato around. Anakin couldn't but help stare at the girl sitting across from him. The way she carried herself is like a force field that keeps him glued on to her. Padme has also noticed her guest's intense mesmerizing gaze and she is trying her best to act as if she is NOT getting these knots in her stomach. If a person's eyes were really a window to a person's soul, then Padme would not believe how beautiful Ani's soul is.
"So Ani, tell us a little bit about yourself now since we have told you like everything about us." Mrs. Naberrie asks politely not trying to probe into his personal life or anything.
"Well there isn't much about me really, just your average 20 year old." Anakin chuckles, wait till the media get a load of this understatement.
"My sister is twenty too... so is her friend but I don't like her friend." Edward interrupts.
"EDDIE! Well I happen to like my friend." Padme adds a little superiority to her tone.
Anakin gives another one of his cute smirks at this scene. Padme swallows the lump in her throat and asks.
"So what are you studying here?" She manages to spit out.
"I am new actually, I am just here on a routine vacation." Anakin replies
"A strange place to pick as your vacation spot." Padme says.
"I am a strange person." And with that he gazes at her with a very intense yet soulful set of eyes.
"Ani?" Edward tugs at his arms. "Do you know how to fight?"
"What do you mean Eddie?" Anakin doesn't really know how to answer that.
"Like sword fighting. Padme's friend tried to teach me once but he was lousy at it so I was wondering if you know how so you could teach me." Eddie asks with hope.
"I sure do, how about I show you some moves after I clean these dishes?" Anakin replies.
"OH NO you don't have to do that, the dishes will be taken care of." Mrs. Naberrie replies.
"My lady, I always clean up my own dishes it is like a habit, and it is the polite thing to do since I did eat a free meal I have to contribute some labor." Anakin explains.
"Yes and your labor is that you saved my son's life and now you are going to teach him how to sword fight." With that last word, Mrs. Naberrie ordered some robots to take the dishes.
Eddie grabbed two wooden sticks and Anakin showed him a couple of movies. Eddie was at awe. He has never seen anyone work with just a stick and make it look so threatening and easy. Before Anakin knows it is already Eddie's bedtime and he finds himself telling him one of his adventures for Eddie's bedtime story. Anakin tucks Eddie in and slowly creeps out of his room. He turns around and gently shuts the door.
"You are going to be a great father one day." Padme whispers, she was there the whole time watching him.
"You think?"
"For sure. I am heading back to campus now, you want to walk me back?"
"Anything for a lady."
The walk back isn't that long a walk. Half an hour max, but it seems like it was only a few seconds for Amidala and Anakin. They talked about everything, from their favorite holovid to their favorite food. Anakin even told her some embarrassing moments. Anakin really feel connected to her, he can't explain it, but when she is around he just want to tell her everything so that there won't be any secrets between them. Maybe he just felt that those amazing memories that he has aren't complete without her in it. So this way, she can be incorporated by words. Amidala haven't had so much fun in a while. Being with someone who seems so... so... real. Everything about him is truthful, no lies. She doesn't have to put up a front, or that diplomatic mask she has. She can be, and finally be, herself. Unknowingly, Amidala shivered at the chilly cool breeze of the night. Then Anakin slides his right arm around her.
"I'd offer you my jacket, but I am not wearing one." Anakin looks straight into her brown eyes. "So my arm would be the only thing I have to offer for now."
"Well I accept. Thank you." Amidala cuddles in closer to Anakin for warmth and of course a little of something else. He smells so good.
"Here we are, this is your room right?" Anakin whispers gently.
Amidala was in a daze she has no idea that they were already there. Anakin's keen Jedi sense could sense that this is her room but he can't sense why she hasn't eagerly go inside yet since it is getting really chilly outside.
"Thanks for walking me back." Amidala thanks Anakin, and leans forward to give him a hug. The hug was perfect, not too hard a squeeze but hard enough to show that he likes her. Amidala didn't want to let go but she can feel that Anakin's cheek, which was resting on her forehead is ice cold.
"Give me a call once you get home ok?" Amidala asks.
"Sure thing. You sure you want me to call still it's late your roommate might get mad at me."
"I don't have a roommate."
"As you wish then." Anakin says and leans forward to kiss her on the forehead. "Goodnight"
"Er.... Ok." Amidala is still in an aftershock stage. She is trying to savor every minute of that peck on her forehead.
Anakin did as he told and called Padme as soon as he gets home. This amazing friendship of theirs developed faster than Anakin's pod racer. Within a week, Anakin felt as though he has known her for decades. He told her absolutely everything. They called each other when they are apart and talked on the phone all night long, sometimes the calls last until the next morning when they see each other again. They saw each other everyday and just hung out together and of course occasionally with Edward as well. It's Friday night, and Anakin laid out a blanket on the field and held Padme close to him as he points out the stars to her.
"Oh, and there," he signals with his finger. "Is where I got my first battle scar. Well not quite a battle scar since I tripped over my master's robe on my way down from our ship and scrapped myself on the rocks." Padme chuckles and plays with his braid. She thinks it is fascinating that he is a Jedi; she hasn't meant many Jedi before. Anakin still didn't tell her that he is THE Anakin Skywalker yet, well actually she just knows him as Ani, and Anakin likes that and intend to keep it that way until she asks.
"Man, I wish I can spend every Friday like this." Anakin sighs.
"Me, too" Padme snuggles in closer.
"Padme, I am so glad I found you. I connect with you so well."
"I know Ani and I am glad I found you, you are my bestest friend in the whole wide galaxy."
"And you are my 'bestest' friend too." She truly IS the most important thing in his life and he is not shy about telling how important she is to him.
"Oh force. What did you say today is?" Padme suddenly remember something.
"It's Friday." Anakin replies, a little startled by her sudden outburst.
"Oh force." Padme jumped up looked down at the clock tower and realize that she is late. She sprints towards the hanger leaving Anakin in bewilderment. Anakin packed up the stuff as quickly as he could and ran after Padme. To his surprise, when he get there, Anakin saw Padme in another one's arms. Bail picked her up and spun her around laughing loudly. Bail catches a glimpse of Anakin and slowly lands Padme down.
"BUDDY! How did you know I am coming home tonight, I was going to go surprise you at your dorm." Bail gives Anakin a huge hug.
"Well I."
"This is perfect, my best girl AND my best man both come pick me up. What more can I ask for."
Anakin's heart tightens when he heard Bail refers to Padme as HIS girl, no should he say, Best Girl...
