Chapter 8
"Oh god… No way, why is he here?" Anakin questioned causing Padme to jerk straight up and slip out their bed. She walked over to the window and looked down at Obi-Wan.
"Oh force! What are we going to do?" Padme asked and back ed away from the window. They were busted.
"You might as well just admit it you two, I know you're together!" Obi-Wan called and Padme quickly walked out of the room. She walked to the front door and then around the back. She stopped in front of Obi-Wan.
"Master Kenobi, there is a explanation for this."
"Ah, don't worry Miss Padme, your secret is safe with me." Obi-Wan said and walked into the house.
"Obi-Wan what are you doing?"
"Going to talk to Anakin… Am I not allowed too?"
"No, no," Padme blushed slightly, "Go on."

Padme was sitting at the end of the table at noon. She looked around from Obi-Wan to Anakin and then directly at Palo. He was starring at her and waved at her slightly before turning his attention back at everybody else. She looked back at her husband and then at Sabe who was sitting next to Obi-Wan and Jobal. She sighed and placed her hands in her lap.
"Honey are you alright?" Jobal questioned innocently and Padme nodded as she looked down at the ground.
"Why don't you and Palo go on a walk?" Padme's head shot up and looked at Palo. He nodded and stood up.
"Why Mrs. Naberrie I think that would be a splendid idea." Padme pushed her chair back and glanced at Anakin who just shrugged. Padme walked out the door with Palo trailing behind her.
"Palo?"
"Yes Miss Naberrie?"
"Actually it's Mrs. Skywalker." Padme said as she wrapped her cloak tighter around her body, "But Padme is alright also."
"Alright Padme, what is your question?"
"What do you want from me? Why are you here?" She questioned and brushed her brown curly hair out of her face. She picked up one of the flowers growing along the side and tucked it into her hair.
"I just want to be with you Padme, that's all."
"No Palo, I think you want more then that."
"Padme… All I want is your friendship… And you're love."
"What did you say?"
"Padme darling, if I can't love you then obviously Anakin Skywalker can't either."

Padme tossed herself on her bed and cried. She hadn't been this upset before. Her mother was planning to split her and Anakin up and Palo was part of the plan. She had talked to Sola right after she came back from her walk with Palo. She hated all of this, she hated being here and she didn't want to be here anymore. Anakin was right, they shouldn't have come.
"Padme… What's wrong?" Anakin questioned as he sat down next to her. She buried her head deeper into the pillow that she held tightly in her hands.
"We're leaving Ani," She whispered, her voice muffled against the pillow. "I can't stay here anymore."
"What? Padme I thought you wanted to stay."
"I don't want to stay if it means losing you." She cried out and sobbed, "My mother is trying to break us up and set me up with Palo. You were right, we shouldn't have come here."
"Alright Padme, I'll pack out bags…" He trailed off and walked to the closet where Padme's stuff was stored. He grabbed everything and piled it neatly into the suitcase. "What are you going to tell your parents?"
"I don't know yet, let's just go out there and tell them."
"Alright, ladies first." Padme sat up and stood on her feet.
"You're so evil."

"Mother, father, I've decided that I have to leave." Padme stood in front of everybody. Jobal nearly choked on the piece of fruit that she held in her hands.
"What why? Padme why are you leaving?"
"Because mother, I can no longer stay here. My duty is calling me. Anakin has to go also… Isn't that right Obi-Wan?"
"Right," Obi-Wan said and smiled slightly, "We have a huge mission awaiting us."
"So you see mother and father, I cannot stay, senators cannot leave for long." Padme said and bowed her head slightly. Palo jumped forward and got down on one knee.
"Before you go Padme…"
"Palo, not now."
"I just wanted to know if you would give me your hand in marriage."
"What are you talking about? I'm married!"
"Yes but we can always get your divorced."
"PALO!"
"So what's your answer Padme?"
