I do not own these characters. I'm not making any money out of this, bla, bla, bla, etc. Ok, hope you enjoy my story.
I just want to remind everyone that this is just a fanfic. I could do whatever you want in a fanfic and that's why I added Christmas. I hope no one really minds. Candy, mistletoe was like the first thing that popped up in my mind. There will be a mistletoe scene, but that will be in part 5. I just want everyone to know that I still have writer's block and that this one really wasn't planned out or written that well. But that's ok cause my other ones weren't written well and weren't really planned out. And sorry, Theed, if you were expecting Obi-Wan to get really mad at Ani. I just couldn't think of any good dialogue.
Oh ya, one more thing. All of you should've known by now that I'm not a good writer. Well, one of my friends asked me to enter my story in a contest. Can someone please help me out with my stories? I know that there are a lot of good writers out there, for example, everyone who reads my fanfics. Can someone please help me edit my stories? I would really appreciate it if someone did.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I awoke in the morning; not fully awake, but conscious enough to feel Amidala's lips on my forehead and her fingers caressing my cheeks. Now THAT wasn't just a friendly gesture. I slightly opened my eyes and saw Amidala dressed in her royal regalia. She had on makeup. I'm guessing she probably has to attend some meeting.
"Good morning, Ani."
"Good morning."
Just then, I realized that I had slept in her room and that it was already morning. I sat up.
"I should be going. Obi-Wan's gonna kill me when he finds out that I slept here."
"He doesn't have to know, Ani."
"I can't possibly hide this from Obi-Wan. He's a Jedi. They find out everything. He probably already knows by now."
"Well then just take your punishment like a man and I'll see you later. I have to go. I have to attend another meeting."
She got up and left the room. I got up and straightened my clothes. I took my cloak that was lying on the floor and walked outside the door. I stood still for a while. I saw another door open, one of the handmaiden's doors, and Obi-Wan walked out.
"Obi-Wan!"
"Anakin? Anakin! What are you doing there?" "What were you doing inside Sabe's room?"
"N...nothing, I was doing nothing. Were you inside Amidala's room? You were weren't you?"
"No, I wasn't."
"Yes you were! What were you doing in there?"
"Nothing!"
This was going nowhere. Obviously we both didn't sleep inside our guestrooms and we didn't want to say it.
"Ok, Obi-Wan, if you really want to know why I was in here, then I'll tell you. Amidala dragged me in here. We talked for a while and then I fell asleep. That's all."
"You're not lying to me, are you? Did you, um, did you?"
"Did I what?"
"Do it?"
"What? What do you mean?"
"You know!"
I took a moment to think about it. Then, I found out what he meant.
"You mean did I have sex with her? No, I didn't!"
"That's... that's good to hear."
"You had sex with Sabe, didn't you?"
"What? How could you possibly think that, Anakin?"
"I'm not an idiot. You did and you don't want to admit it."
"If you dare tell the council I will find a new padawan!"
We both started laughing. Obi-Wan and Sabe. Now that was unexpected. I can't believe I didn't see it before. I noticed the way they looked at each other, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Thank the force that Obi-Wan was busy his self. Because if he wasn't, then I would surely be in big trouble.
"Anakin, you do know that what you did was wrong. I've warned you about Amidala. She may be a great person, but to have any relationship with her now would je---"
"Would jeopardize my training, I know. I can't help it, master. She infatuates me."
"Learn to control your feelings, Anakin. You will have no problem when you do."
"I will, master."
"Come on, let's go get our selves cleaned up."
"Are we going somewhere?"
"Christmas in near, Ani. We'll have to buy some presents. Oh, by the way, Amidala has invited us to her family's house for Christmas."
Great! We were going to spend Christmas at Amidala's house. Now what will I get her for Christmas? Well whatever I get her has to be really good. I'll have to get her something she really wants. But she's a queen. She probably already has everything she ever wanted. What could I possibly get her?
**************************************************************************************
Two days have already gone by. I wasn't able to see Amidala because Obi-Wan and I have been really busy training. I still didn't have a gift for Amidala. Obi-Wan was already finished buying gifts.
After today's training, I headed over to Amidala's private chambers. Amidala's handmaiden Rabe approached me.
"I'm sorry, Anakin, but Amidala isn't here right now."
"May I ask where she is?"
"Her highness has a habit of disappearing sometimes. I'm not so sure where she went. Last time she disappeared, I found her at the palace garden. Why don't you check there?"
"I will. Thank you very much."
I left and headed for the garden. After a few minutes of searching, I found Amidala sitting on the snow, reading a book. Dozens of books surrounded her. I sneaked behind her so that she wouldn't see me.
"Whatcha reading?"
She let out a little scream and immediately turned around to face me. I started laughing. She pushed me down to the floor.
"Don't sneak up on me like that, Ani!"
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. So, what are you reading, and why in the world are you reading out here in the snow? Aren't you cold?"
"I'm reading one of my favorite books, The Last Mammoth, and I'm reading it out here because it's the only place where I could read privately. At least it was private until you came along."
"Well sorry to bother you. I could leave if you want."
"No, go ahead and stay. Besides, I need someone to keep me company. It's getting dark."
"I'll be glad to accompany you, Amidala."
I smiled and a sat down next to her. I took a moment and studied her. Her hair was put in pigtails, her cheeks were red, and her face was pale. Then, I saw her lips, those oh so luscious pink lips. I suddenly felt the urge to kiss her. Oh but I can't. I tried to control my feelings. It was working. I was actually able to resist.
"What are you staring at?"
Damn, why'd I have to stare?
"Oh nothing."
She raised one brow and stared at me for a while then looked away.
"You like reading, don't you?"
" I love reading, Ani. Reading takes me into a whole new universe where I can be away from my work, away from everything that stresses me. My grandmother used to read to me, until she passed away."
"I'm sorry to hear that."
"I thank her for leaving me with her most prized possession, her books. Except for one. My grandmother used to read me this book called "Lost Souls." It was my favorite. She passed away before we could finish it. My grandmother requested for us to donate all her belongings to charity. Unfortunately, my mother included her book. I've searched the planet for it, but I never found it. That book meant so much to me. I would fight a Sith for that book."
I never knew that a book could mean so much to someone. That's it! That book will be my present for her. If it meant that much to her, then she will surely love it! Only problem is, where can I find it?
more to come soon.
