Finally it was time to go back to the temple. Anakin cheered up a little bit but he was still sad. He was happy that he met a new friend.
Once he got back to the temple, he went to his room and meditated. When he was finished, he felt better after. Anakin was really excited because he was going to hang out with Padme the next day and he couldn't wait. Anakin was so excited that he couldn't sleep, so he decided to sneak out of the temple and go for a walk and then come back after. He felt a lot better once he got out a little bit.
Anakin sat down by a beautiful lake near the temple. It was really beautiful evening and it was nice and cool. Just then he heard Padme call him. She was out too.
"Anakin, what are you doing here?" asked Padme.
"I couldn't sleep, I just came here for a while," said Anakin. Padme sat down next to Anakin and Anakin moved closer to her. It was a beautiful night, so they decided to stay out all night.
The next morning Anakin and Padme realized that they stayed out all night.
"Oh no! We stayed out all night I have to get back to the temple, Obi-wan is going to realize that I snuck out," Anakin said looking worried.
"Ok, I'll come with you," said Padme. Anakin and Padme hurried back to the temple. Anakin hoped that he wasn't in trouble.
"I'll see you later Padme, I have to go in, I hope he doesn't know," said Anakin. Anakin quickly snuck back to his room. Thank goodness Obi-wan wasn't awake yet.
"Ffffffeewwwww!" Anakin said to himself. Anakin looked out his window and still saw Padme there. She wanted to make sure that Anakin wasn't in trouble. Anakin opened his window to tell her.
"I did it, Obi-wan was still asleep," Anakin said.
"Good, so you won't be in trouble, I'll see you later ok," said Padme.
"Ok," said Anakin.
Suddenly, Anakin heard Obi-wan come to Anakin's room. Anakin went back to bed pretend that he had been there the whole time.
"Anakin, it's time for breakfast and then you have some Jedi training to do," said Obi-wan. "Why is the window open?" asked Obi-wan.
"I don't know," said Anakin.
"Whatever it's time to get ready," said Obi-wan.
Anakin didn't realize he had training to do. If Qui-Gon were still alive, he would let Anakin hang out with Padme for the day.
"Um, I'm hanging out with Padme for the day," said Anakin.
"You may hang out with Padme when you are finished training, you are only training a little bit," said Obi-wan firmly.
"Fine," Anakin groaned. Anakin slowly got up, he was so tired. He was almost up all night with Padme and then he fell asleep outside with Padme.
Once Anakin was finished training, he was getting ready to hang out with Padme. Just then, Tru and Darra came and saw him leave. "Anakin, what's up, I haven't seen you all day yesterday at the funeral," said Tru.
"Oh, I left early, I couldn't stand it, and then I met this girl named Padme, and I'm hanging out with her today," said Anakin.
"Really, that's cool," said Darra. She was almost getting jealous, because knew that Anakin and Padme would like each other, and Darra had feelings for Anakin too and she wanted to cry but she didn't because she was a good Jedi.
"Can we come?" asked Darra.
"Sorry, we are hang out alone, we are going out to the restaurant and then we might hang out at the club or something," Anakin said in a rude voice.
"Alright," said Darra sadly.
"Move!" Anakin sneered as he pushed Darra and Tru aside and left.
Tru and Darra were shocked that Anakin talked like that.
"What's wrong with him?" asked Tru.
"Ever since Qui-Gon died and he met Padme, Anakin has been acting totally different," Darra said sadly.
Meanwhile, Anakin met up with Padme at the lake they were at. Padme was really excited because she never really had a boyfriend and she thought that Anakin was really cute. Anakin felt the same way about Padme.
"Hey Padme, what's up?" asked Anakin.
"I'm good, let's go eat some lunch, I'm starving," said Padme. Once they were finished eating lunch at the restaurant, they hung out at the club. They didn't realize that Tru and Darra were spying on them. They were too busy having a good time together.
Anakin and Padme were fooling around and flirting with each other.
They were having a really good time together.
Later on Anakin and Padme went back to the lake to talk a little bit. They were the only ones there.
"Padme, ever since I met you, I have had feelings for you, and I think I love you," said Anakin.
"Me too, I have felt that way too, but you are a Jedi you are not allowed to love," said Padme sadly. "But I truly, deeply love you and I want to be with you Ani,"
"Well, we could always keep it a secret, no one has to know," said Anakin.
"I guess so," said Padme sadly.
