Disclaimer-No.

Tia-Shaan walked out of the fresher with a new determination. She would not let these people know what she really was.

"How are you-feeling, Tia-Shaan?" asked Padme with some concern. "I thought I heard-"

"You heard nothing to worry about, Senator Amidala," said Tia, bowing her head. "I am perfectly fine. What were we talking about again?"

Padme frowned. "We were talking about how I wanted to talk to you alone. In fact, Jar-Jar, all of you, please wait outside to greet the Jedi who will be protecting me."

Jar-Jar and the others obeyed. The moment they were gone, Padme turned to Tia-Shaan.

"Please sit down."

Tia obeyed uncertainly. What did Padme need?

Padme looked at Tia with an expression of panic. "I need your advice on something."

Tia nodded. "Of course, milady." That sounds so wrong when I say it.

Padme paced the room, then she said, "Are you aware that you will be aiding a Jedi Master in finding my killer?"

Tia blinked. She did not expect this. "Yes, milady, I am.
So very, very wrong when I say it.

"Do you know their names?"

"Uh…am I supposed to, Milady?"

I sound like a pervert.

"Why yes," said Padme, appalled. "Master Yoda told me that you were informed."

"Oh, right!" Tia said quickly, as to not raise any suspicion. "Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi…and Anakin Skywalker," she mumbled the last part.

"Obi-Wan Kenobi!" said padme, clapping her hands together. "I haven't seen him in years! Ten years, exactly! But-" she suddenly frowned. "You said someone else. Who are they?"

Oh, boy. I bet Yoda didn't tell me that.

"Do you trust me, Amidala?" asked Tia quickly.

Padme raised an eyebrow.

"Then trust me on this," Tia said. "You wouldn't want to know. Wait until it comes to you, my friend." I have had enough of saying Milady to this woman.

Padme was about to retort when Jar-Jar peeked in and called, "They are here, Milady!"

Padme glared at Tia without any real conviction, and she and Tia nodded to Jar-Jar, who let both the Jedi and the others inside.

Obi Wan was a dapper and professional-looking as ever. He smiled calmly at Tia, who smiled back. Tia then turned to look at Anakin Skywalker, who-

Oh sweet merciful Jesus.

Anakin was a hoooootie!

His skin seemed a lot more smoother up close than on screen, and his features were perfectly shaped, especially his cheekbones. He had a nice, settle tan, and even through his Jedi suit, Tia could see faintly the outlines of hard abs. How Padme could have resisted him for so long, Tia would never know.

Anakin's eyes were another reason Padme was an effing idiot to deny him for so long. Their piercing blue color gave Tia the impression that he could see under her very skin. Of course, she knew that he was also mentally undressing Padme as well…

Padme's voice jolted her out of her observations. "Annie, this is Tia-Shaan. She will be aiding you in your quest to find my-"

"Murderer," Tia finished, shaking Anakin's sweating hand (Gee, I wonder why that is…)

"Yes," said Obi-Wan Kenobi. "We are here to protect you, Senator."

"Wonderful," said Padme. "Um…Tia-Shaan, I am going to ask you to stay outside with Anakin while I speak to Obi-Wan first."

What? This was not in the movie!

Damn it, Tia, she scolded herself. Anakin could feel her every emotion, and hear her every thought.

She kept her emotions in check as best she could, while She followed a confused Anakin outside the room. The door closed behind them, but not before Tia turned around to see Padme giving her a reassuring look.

She turned around to stare at Anakin, who stared back.

Tres Chaud mon ami, tres chaud. (Want to know what that means? Contact me or look it up. It is French.)

And so…

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Anakin," said Tia politely.

"Same here," Anakin replied, though he looked unsure of her for some reason.

Silence.

"Uh," said Anakin.

"Yes?" said Tia, jumping at a chance for conversation.

"Aren't you a little young," said Anakin. "To be…"

"Senator's bodyguard?" Tia finished. She should have known; she was the youngest one there. And whoever in the Star Wars series was thirteen and fought evil?

"Yes," said Anakin. "No offense-"

None taken, calm down!

"I just meant that you're too small!"

"Small?" Tia repeated, and little stunned. Young was one thing, but small? "Might I remind you, my good fellow Jedi, that Master Yoda is shorter than any of us, and yet still manages to kick evil butt?"

Anakin frowned at her choice of words, but cowered at her anger all the same.

Good.

"Anakin? Tia-Shaan?" Padme had opened the door, looking very put out about something.

"Senator," Tia said, nodding. Anakin, still looking a little frightened (good!)

"You will all be staying the night in case there are any attempts on my life."

REALLY? WOW!

"Yes, ma'am," said Tia quietly, while Anakin and Obi-Wan nodded.

"Please feel free to make yourselves comfortable," said Padme, as the rest of the people filed out, saying their goodbyes to her.

Tia nodded. Well, not much to do now except sing…she giggled. Then she accidentally caught eyes with Anakin, and the melody, "Across The Stars," rose on her closed lips.

"What is that beautiful melody?" asked Obi-Wan suddenly.

Oh gosh!

"Oh!" said Tia nervously, "It-was a love song my mother used to sing to me-I mean," she said, remembering that she was raise in a temple. "The kids at school-the Temple-liked to sing it whenever they thought of love…"

Padme raised her eyebrows and looked at Anakin, who was frowning at Obi-Wan who stared in confusion at Tia, who was looking anywhere but the adults.

This is going to be a long, long movie…

A/N: I did try, you know, not to make her a Mary Sue…if I did, do not let me know. Anyways, I am hoping to try and really finish this story, so you might not hear from my other stories. That's a MIGHT, not a DEFINITELY.
