Under the Stars by: anime fan
It has been two months since his master's death and yet Obi-wan still has nightmares about Qui-Gon's last battle. Unable to sleep, he decides to take a walk in the palace gardens to keep his mind off of the disturbing dreams. Obi-wan sits near a fountain and stares at the pitch black sky and asks aloud in a small, sad whisper "Why did you have to die?" He still looks up at the sky as if waiting for an answer. He then feels a gentle hand on his shoulder and knows that it is Queen Amidala, who has comforted him ever since the tragic event. She sits down next to the Jedi Knight and looks up at the stars with him. Amidala then leans her head on his shoulder and holds his hand, knowing why he is up at this hour. He then looks down at the young Queen and shows a small smile thanking God that she has been there for him, for if he refused her offer of letting him take residence at the palace for the time that he needs to recover from the physical and emotional wounds, he would have gone mad. Then it finally dawned on him that he never, well verbally, thanked the Queen for her kindness. So then he said "Thank you so much your Highness, you have no idea how much you have helped me in these past few months, I would have become a mad-man without you." After hearing this Amidala turns and hugs Obi-wan as if to say "your welcome." Then Amidala says, while still hugging him, "Obi-wan, you are one of my closest friends, please call me Amidala" He then smiles down at her and says "all right you Highness" This causes Amidala to smile and playfully punch Obi-wan's shoulder while saying "what did I just tell you!!" They then look at each other with love in their eyes and they slowly move closer and closer until their lips meet in a passionate kiss. When the kiss ended they knew that their newfound love will never die and then they turned back to the bright stars with true happiness in their hearts.
