This is a different BarriAnakin story. It's about them, lost in the void. Anyway, enjoy.

Twilight Ship.

Barriss's POV.

Well, our mission to Felucia wasn't that bad. Most of our men have suffered injuries that were really bad. It was my job to heal them so that, they were all better.

I was alone with none other than "Anakin Skywalker" himself. He was driving, and I was in the passenger seat, sitting there in silence. All of a sudden, I felt weird. Everytime, when I'm around him, butterflies escape from my innocent body. I remembered Ahsoka saying to me; "Barriss, my Master can be hard to be around with, but just be careful out there." That's what she said. Can he be hard to be around with? I just don't want to cause any trouble to him. I couldn't take it no more. I had to say something. Sitting there in silence, wasn't gonna help.

"Master Anakin?" He turned to me. "Yeah?"

"Have you ever felt that something's missing?"

"Like what?" He asked me. "I...I think there's something up with me." Yes, there is something up with me. I just don't think he could guess it, or something.

"Barriss." He turned auto-pilot on and went to me. "What's the problem?" Oh boy, here it goes. "Master Anakin. How was it like when you were with...Senator Padmè?" Now, why did I say that for? He sighed. "Well...it was fine, at least. But then it turned out to be the worse." Boy, I wonder what happened between them.

"What happened?"

"Well...we kinda got into a argument. It was about the war and...stuff. I tried to get to her that, if this war would just end, we would already be happy together. It was hard to deal with guys who always try to hit on Padmè. That provoked me. So much. So much, that I wanted to hurt someone. And then, when there was a time where things weren't going well, we divorced. And now, she's probably out with Senator Rush Clovis for all I care." Dang. He's been going trough a lot in his lifetime.

"Anakin...I think there's someone, I'm feeling close to."

"Do you know who this person is?"

"Yeah. Well...no."

"How long, have you known him?"

"Not that long, actually. I've known him for quite a long time. I like him, but I don't think if he likes me."

"Well, you just gotta hang out with that person more. Get to know him better. And in the mean time, you two will be together. Wait, is this Commander Cody we're talking about?" Actually...it's not him. "Well...it's not exactly him." Now, I can sense he was confused.

"Barriss...if it's not him...then who it is?" Maybe this will give him the answer. "Anakin...come closer." He went closer. "Closer." I said again. Now he was close to my face. I could feel his warmth close to me, that the cold I felt would go away. Maybe his warmth could melt all the snow in the winter time.

"Barriss...what's going on?" Without saying anything, I placed my hands to his chest. Then I moved them close to his neck. And then...I kissed him. He was shocked at first, but he didn't pulled away. Instead, he grabbed me by my waist and pulled me closer. I jumped as I felt his body pressed against mine. Then I moved my tongue across his lip. I was begging for entrance. Then he opened his mouth and allowed me entrance. I was about to touch his tongue, but instead, his tongue touched mine. I gasped as I felt his tongue touch mine. Then we broke apart from the kiss and looked at each other in the eye. But then I felt ashamed. Like I shouldn't have done this. I turned away, not facing him.

"Barriss? Are you okay?" He asked me. "I...hoped that didn't bothered you. I always wanted to do that. If it bothers you than I-"

"No. It doesn't. Why do you feel so ashamed?"

"Because...because I didn't think you would enjoy this as much as I do." He reached out his hand and pulled my hoodie down. Then my black hair was revealed. He smiled as he saw my hair with his own eyes.

"Barriss...your hair is wonderful. Why do you hide it?"

"I guess Ahsoka, has told you about my hair has she? Well...I just keep it hidden."

"Yeah, but why?"

"Because, nobody who doesn't know me, don't need to see my hair."

"Well...I've known you for a long time. So that means, I get to see your hair." After he said that, that just made me smiled at him. I kissed him again and said something I wanted to say to him since I first met him at Geonosis with his Padawan Ahsoka.

"Anakin, I love you." He was speechless at first, but then he finally said the same words to me.

"Barriss...I love you too." I smiled and kissed him again. I wrapped my arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. The truth is, I was in love with this man for a long time. I couldn't tell Ahsoka because...well, I just couldn't. Then the alarm went off. He went to the controls.

"Anakin, what's happening?"

"It appears, the scanners are picking up giant ice formations called: comets, heading straight for us." Great. Just what I need.

"That...doesn't sound good. Get us out of hyperspace." He pulled down the lever and we were out of hyperspace, but then that's when these comets were all around us.

"We need to get out of here." Anakin said. Then a comet damaged our stabilizers. "Uh, scratch that." I said. Then we found ourselves falling from space.

"Well, I guess we're gonna have to land on that planet." Anakin said. I was really confused. I didn't know anything about that planet before in my life.

"What is that planet? It's not Separatist control, is it?" I asked him. "Not really. So right now, brace yourself, Barriss." Then the ship was heading for that weird planet that we were heading to. Then it landed hard on the ground and it was still sliding down on the ground until it stopped.

"Anakin?...Are you alright?"

"Yeah. I'm fine."

"Where the heck are we?" He entered the controls to see what planet this was. And it popped up a blue screen.

"Well, it says that, this is known as: Abafar: Information on planet void?" Him and I both seemed confused. We went outside and looked around. It was like a desert out here.

"Now that's just great. There's nothing hear but...sand."

"Should we contact the temple?" I asked. Hoping he would say yes.

"Yes. We should contact the temple." I knew he would say that. We went back inside and tried to contact them.

"Jedi Temple? This is Barriss Offee. Please respond." There was no answer. That's what I was afraid of.

"There's no answer." I said to him.

"Crap. Well, we're gonna have to stay inside the ship. We'll head out later on."

"Why?"

"Would you wanna go out now, than to stay in here and maybe catch your breath?" Anakin does have a point. I guess we should stay here.

"Okay. When will we head out?"

"Later. Right now, let's catch our breaths." He went out to get some blankets to sleep in. While he went to get some, I was looking out the window. This void sounds...interesting. But it's just nothing but a desert. Then he came back.

"Were those in here the whole time?"

"Well...let's say I kept them in here."

"How come?"

"I always come prepared Barriss." Then he put the blankets on us and I snuggled next to him and rested my head on his chest.

"Barriss?"

"Yes?"

"Why didn't you tell me you loved me?" I sat up. "Because I didn't think you would...feel the same. I just hate being turned down by a guy.

"That's why you couldn't tell me? Because you thought that I would turn you down?"

"...I guess you could say that." Then he pulled me into another kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and ran my fingers through his hair. Then he lightly pushed me down to the ground. Now, he was on-top of me. I could feel his body on-top of me. I moaned into the kiss. But then there was something else that entered my head. I wanted more of Anakin. So then, I moved my hand under his tunic and he jumped as he felt my hand inside of his tunic. Then we broke apart from each other.

"Barriss. Not now."

"But Anakin, we're alone now. There's no one to disturb us."

"Yes, I know. But when I want something like this to happen, I'll let you know, right now is not the time."

"Oh...okay." Then I laid back down and snuggled next to him.

"Anakin...will we ever get out of here?"

"I don't know Barriss. We might be here for a long time. But in the mean time, let's just be patient."

"Has Ahsoka ever told you about being patient?" He chuckled. I never made him laugh before. I guess this was my first time making the man laugh. "Well...yeah, but most of it." He kissed my forehead. I kissed his cheek.

"I love you Barriss."

"So do I Anakin. So do I."
