Padme lunged towards Anakin and wrapped her arms around him. "Of course I forgave you!" she breathed. "You mean the world to me, Anakin. I love you. So much that I can't even describe it. It hurt me when you went to the dark side, it's true, but in the end you saved our son and came back to me! That's all that matters now, Ani. I'm willing to forget every bad memory that happened in the past. I love you, and I always will."
Anakin stared adoringly at her. "Padme," he whispered. "What did I ever do to deserve someone like you? You are an angel." He leaned forward hesitantly and kissed her softly and lightly on the lips. They were as soft and as smooth as ever. She immediately responded and kissed him again, longer this time. When they drew back, she smiled at him.
"Why don't we go sit by the lake and eat lunch? It's almost noon, and you must be hungry," she teased, poking him in the stomach.
"Definitely." Anakin agreed. His face suddenly clouded in confusion. Where are we going to get the food?"
Padme laughed, a clear, contagious laugh that sounded like bells. "You just have to contact your personal servant!" she said, running down to the lakeshore. "Watch and learn, Jedi Skywalker!" They both burst into laughter as Anakin ran down to stand beside Padme.
Padme reached into the folds of her dress and withdrew a small silver walkie. "You will get your own when you go to headquarters. It will never get lost. If it falls out, it will always reappear in your pocket," she explained. Pressing a button, she said clearly, "please deliver a full picnic lunch for two, complete with silverware and a blanket." She grinned at Anakin. "The service is actually pretty fast! It will be here in a few minutes. The robots know where we are because the walkie talkie has a tracker." They both settled themselves onto the sand, just a foot or two away from the waves. Anakin put his arm about Padme, and she lay her head on his shoulder. They shared a moment of complete bliss.
Suddenly, just a couple minutes later, a small seaplane came swooping towards them. It landed smoothly on the surface of the lake and glided towards them. When it had reached solid ground, the door opened and a robot that looked a lot like R2 came out, carrying a huge wicker basket. Another robot that looked very similar came out behind the former, holding a warm red blanket and two green cushions for the couple to sit on. Anakin stared at it in amazement as Padme greeted the robots thankfully. "Thank you so much! You guys are the best! You really outdid yourselves!"
"No problem," the robots said in unison. "It is always a pleasure to serve Miss Padme." They bowed and retreated back into the aircraft. As the sea plane took off, Padme knelt down and opened up the wicker basket. The wonderful smell of hot soup filled the air. Leaning forward, Anakin could see that two bowls of chicken noodle soup were placed neatly inside, on top of a stack of napkins. Two forks, two spoon, and two knives were placed neatly inside, and a place of delicious looking roast beef sandwiches was packed inside too. Water bottles and glasses of apple, orange, mango, and guava juice in a corner of the basket. Bowls of fruit, salad, and every kind of cookie were inside as well!
"Wow!" Anakin nodded his approval. "Quite some service!" Padme laughed as they got all the food out and began to eat.
Sitting on the beach eating delicious food, with great weather, and especially with his Padme, Anakin couldn't think of a better thing to be doing. He sighed in contentment, relishing the fact that he could be with his Padme forever; no worrying about her dying, about the Sith taking over, about evil assassins, about anything. For the rest of eternity, he could relax and enjoy every minute with his angel.
Leaning forward, he kissed Padme. The water lapped gently at their bare feet. Everything was perfect.
Suddenly, Anakin remembered something. Their children! He NEEDED to know what happened to them!
