After the battle on Mustafar, Anakin Skywalker had become Darth Vader. Badly injured to the point that he couldn't live on his own. He was the man in the mask. On a mission, finding a part for the Death Star, Vader came across a planet he was fond of.

Naboo.

He flew over the house that he'd been to before. The lake house Padme had taken him to during his mandate as Jedi to protect the senator. The place where he had kissed her for the first time. Where he confessed his love to her. She was the only think Anakin truly cared about. Until his anger blinded him and he killed her. Tears filled Vader's eyes as he stumbled into the wreckage. He went into a room to find a little safe.

Vader ignited his lightsaber and cut it open. There inside, he found a journal. Padme's signature was on the front. It was pink and it had the republic sticker on the front. Vader opened it, and he was amazed at what he saw. It was her journal.

Date Unknown….

Landing on Tatooine was probably the best thing that happened to me. Being the queen of Naboo and being protected by Jedi, Tatooine was a sigh of relief. I met a funny little boy named Anakin Skywalker. His mother called him Ani. He was the cutest thing on a dusty old planet. But after I left him at the temple on Corascaunt, I never saw him again. It's been ten years since I last seen him. Being a senator now cuts things from my life that I wish stuck with me forever.

Like little Ani.

Vader shut the journal and thought for a moment. She didn't forget me. He thought to himself.Vader considered opening it again. But instead, he slid it into his robe and headed back to his ship.
