My eyes slowly fluttered open I must've fallen asleep with a jolt I realised I was sleeping on Anakin, my head resting on his chest and his arms wrapped around me. Aghhh gfahsfgaj I couldn't even think clearly, I slowly looked up and at the same time he looked down as our eyes connected I felt my heart leap. "Had a nice nap?" he asked smiling "I guess so,how long was I asleep?" I asked smiling as well "About two hours?" he replied slightly questioning himself.
Remembering where we were I stood up, we were still in that room "I need to find Natty," I stated making my way to the door as he followed me. "I think I saw her in the library." He supplied I stopped half way through the doors and turned on my heels, running and giving him a quick hug, he was shocked at first but returned the hug. I pulled away "Um, thanks for... everything," I slightly stammered "No problem." he said grinning.
I waved as I left, as soon as I was out the doors I broke into a sprint. I can't believe that just happened !Control yourself Elena, you can't do this, not to him...not to yourself. I scolded myself. It was true he was meant to be with Padmé, no matter how much my feeling accelerated since I came here. It's not like he feels the same way I thought sadly.
I walked into the library and immediately spotted Natty sitting down reading, I squinted my eyes to read the title of her book 'Stars and Stars' Jeez what a name I sat directly infront of her. "Hey Lena what's up?" she asks not looking up from her book "Nothing just wanted to talk to you." I said half sarcastically, half serious.
"Oh really because you look like you just went through a terrible break up," she closes her book and raises her eyebrows incredulously while laughing. "That bad?" I whispered she shook her head "Nah just kidding...sorta" she added "Anyway spill," she urged, I put a sound shield around us incase someone was listening. "Ok well I was meditating with Master Yoda when I had this vision of Order 66...deaths-" I whisper.
"About time," she cuts in "What's thats supposed to mean?" I ask "Well I had a few last night and umm..." she trails of, I give her a pointed look telling her to spill "And Obi-Wan knows about it." she answers fidgeting. "What?!" I scream "He only knows I saw visions of deaths not who or why or what!" she quickly defends. I sigh in relief then nervously laugh remembering the same thing happened with Anakin and I. "Well um Anakin sorta knows as well," I explain she just grins "I knew it!" she shouts while I roll my eyes.
"I looked through your mind to see what happened, you two seemed comfortable." she teases "You went through my mind?!" I screech she bursts out laughing "Of course I did look who you're asking." she replies we both laugh but it soon dies out. "What are we gonna do Lena? We're both falling for two Jedi." she asks.
"I don't know..." I say giving a sad smile "But I can't let them fall to Sidious or to their own troops or to the dark side." I told her she nodded understandingly "Yeah and we were sent to aid the light side, which probably means saving them," she says with a smile. "I can't let him fall, because if he does so will everything else," I whisper a tear falling "And you already know how much suffering that costs right?" I ask her she nods "Of course I do." she replies.
"Look I'm not asking you or forcing you to do this, I''m just letting you know I want to change this whole thing and help make sure the republic and the Jedi does not fall." I state. "I already had a feeling that you were gonna say that, because I was thinking the same thing..." she explains "So we both agree to change the outcome?" she asks extending her arm "Yep deal?" I reply/ask extending my arm as well "Deal" she replies as we shake our hands. We both knew that this decision could save our break this galaxy.
"There's more though," Natty states raising a brow, I sigh before letting it all out "I love Ani ok? I don't know I just fee this connection, he probably doesn't feel the same. I mean isn't he supposed to fall in love with Padmé, aren't we going on a mission to protect her?" I ask she just nods patiently, motioning for me to continue, knowing there is more. "I can't ruin a beautiful relationship, they'll love eachother get married and have kids." I finished as a few tears dropped.
"I know how that feels remember Duchess Satine?" she says "But maybe the force has it's way around love, maybe its better for Anakin and you to fall in love rather than Padmé and him..." she starts "I mean you know what you're getting yourself into, you know how to protect and save him." she finishes "But he probably doesn't even remotely think of me that way," I say sadly "Would he have sone what he did today if he didn't have any remote feeling?" she asked softly I shook my head.
"You'd be a good option for Obi-Wan we basically have the same problem." I explained "I don't think he likes me or have any small feeling for me," she says upset. "Really Natty? Don't you see the way he looks at you?" I say slightly laughing "He doesn't look at me any way." she replies. I think we both have had enough heartbreak for today I thought "Come on we have to get new cloths!" I exclaim standing up while walking to her side.
We both leave the library, I go to Anakin and I's quaters and gwt my bag checking for any change Damn I forgot they don't us dollars...wait what the sith is this? I think as I spot metal chips looking things Are those credits? I grab my bag and run to Natty and Obi-Wan's quaters "Natty!" I yell as I barge in only to see her also checking through her bag as well. Her arms sinking deep into the bag Oh the extension charm I forgot to mention but Natty and I put extension charms on our bags so we could just put as much stuff as we want.
Her eyes suddenly got wide as she grabbed something she scooped it up and realised it was credits. I showed her mine as well after we had a long conversation we got it, we came to the conclusion that the force just kindly gave it to us. We went out and bought a few tunics and pants that looked and felt like leggings. Once we were done we changed and rushed to the council remembering we were supposed to talk them about the mission.
"Sorry we're late." I explained that we had gotten new clothes and somehow the force gave us credits, they seemed to believe the story because master Yoda said that the force was "telling" him that it gave it to us to us. The meeting just gets weirder. "So when will we be leaving?" Natty asked "Right now," came Obi-Wan's response, we bid our farewells and went to the hanger to get a speeder. (A/N: I changed a few things to the setting and the actual story line, sorry if it causes any distress.)
Soon enough we were on our way to where Padmé lived. "Are you two ready?" Anakin asked giving a cheeky smile, I sighed slightly frowning "I guess," I replied. "Oh don't worry Padmé- I mean Senator Amidala is a wonderful person!" Anakin says trying to cheer me up "I haven't seen her in a long time, I wonder if she'll recognise me..." he continues I occasionally nod I didn't have the heart to tell him to stop he looke so happy, no matter how much it hurt me.
"Ok I think that's enough for now," Natty cuts in obviously understanding my slight jealousy and hurt Who am I kidding I don't have the right to be hurt or jealous, they were meant for eachother anyway. "Could you tell us about one of your mission?" I asked just wanting a distraction "Of course! Well it was shortly after..." Obi- Wan started.
