Thank you everyone for reviewing and giving me ideas! I have a storyline created but I am more than willing to throw in other ideas! Well enjoy! :)
It had been a long and boring ride to Coruscant. The ship was completely silent except for the occasional inside jokes that the clone troopers would snip to one another. The ship was bound to land any second now and everyone could not wait. The clones couldn't wait to get off the ship; it had been weeks since they were on a planet's surface. Luke and Leia couldn't wait to see the Old Republic; it would be a change from their madness of a world and Han couldn't wait to get answers. Padme however, just wanted to see her husband.
Once the ship landed a group of Nubian guards entered. No one even had the chance to exit. The leader stepped forward, "Senator Queen Amidala." Padme's eyes grew large; she had completely forgotten the news that Captain Typho had told her. She was queen and senator; she had too much power than she would like to admit to anyone. I should have changed that rule when I was Queen. I never thought it was a smart rule. If the queen died, a new queen should be elected immediately; the title should not be passed to the senator without questioning. As Padme continued to think she was unaware of the shocked stares she was receiving from Luke, Leia, and Han. They obviously did not hear the "queen" part earlier, but now all three of their minds were racing.
Han: She's a queen and a senator? If she is Leia's mother, I see where Leia got everything.
Leia: I can't believe it! She is a queen and I'm a princess! We are both politicians! We are so much alike! She is amazing!
Luke: This is amazing. She was a queen, senator, and very beautiful. I see why Father loved her; they were both amazing.
"…Umm… We are here to escort you to the Jedi Temple." The guard said awkwardly breaking the silence as he glanced from the silent woman to the funny-faced trio. Luke's heart could have stopped, Jedi Temple! In its prime and with other Jedi!
"Escort?" Padme asked confused. She understood that she had just been previously kidnapped but escorted to the Jedi Temple? It was the safest place in Coruscant; hundreds of Jedi would not hurt her.
Padme stood up shaking her hands at the guards, "That won't be necessary. I'm capable of walking a short distance."
"I'm afraid," the guard continued, "that it isn't a short distance. We have landed a fair walk away from the Jedi Temple. The Chancellor requests that you are escorted due to the… crowd."
Padme frowned, "Crowd?"
The guard nodded, "It seems that a crowd has assembled outside the Temple."
There was only one answer for a crowd assembling outside the Jedi Temple, Anakin.
After changing into a professional gown, Padme was escorted out of the ship; Han, Luke, and Leia followed silently. As soon as Padme took her first step on the ramp she was overwhelmed with press and droids talking videos and pictures for the holonet and magazines. Luke, Leia, and Han's eyes bulged out of their heads as they looked around. The word crowd had received a new meaning in their minds. There were hundreds, if not millions of people surrounding a walkway that leaded to the Jedi Temple. Speeders and ships floated in mid air looking down on the scene below. Big holos and screens on buildings projected the scene unfolding on the ground. The noise was loud to say the least, as people clapped and cheered. As Luke looked down the walkway, he couldn't help but gasp. It was a farther walk than anyone had anticipated; the Jedi Council seemed like a small building in the distance. The walkway was also lined with motionless clone soldiers who stood with their hands behind their backs.
Padme walked silently until she reached a smiling man who greeted her with open arms, "Senator Amidala! So glad to see you!" Padme smiled in return, "Same to you Chancellor, but I do believe you were in the same situation that I was."
Luke and Leia frowned behind Padme, who was that man? He was so familiar! Leia roughly grabbed Luke's arm, Chancellor Palpatine! He was the Emperor! That's what my father told me! A concerned Luke studied his sister, but I can't tell Luke. Not now anyways, there are too many witnesses! Leia let go of her brother's arms as she gave him "I'll tell you later" looks. We all saw him before in his dark duty but no one recognized it was him. He is fooling everyone!
Palpatine smiled sadly, "I'm sad to say yes. Though I had no idea you were there as well, milady."
Padme opened her mouth to ask another question but Palpatine leaned toward her, "We will talk at the Temple, too many ears out here in the open."
Padme nodded in agreement as Palpatine directed her to the side of the walkway. At the side of the walkway stood many senators who greeted Padme and asked her many questions. When Padme stepped to the side, Luke took his advantage moving toward his mother pulling his friends along with him. Han smiled, "All this for the Chancellor?" Padme gave a short laugh, "He wishes, I'm afraid that they," She stopped and gestured to the crowd, "are here for a totally different reason." Padme smiled, as she thought of Anakin. His laugh, touch, and body that everyone that gathered here dreamed about. She was the only one who actually got to experience it. No one knew that of course, most people thought he was a pure hot Jedi. Everyone wanted to take the Jedi's purity, they thought it was a pity that his body had to be covered 24/7 by those Jedi robes. Padme let out a small giggle, if they only knew.
The crowd began to clap again as another ship began to land. As the ramp lowered, it revealed a brown-red haired man in tan robes. The man waved politely at the crowd as they cheered loudly for him. Once the man made it through the sea of press people and droids he bowed to Padme and the senators before shaking the Chancellor's hand. The Chancellor smiled, "And where is young Skywalker?" Luke frowned there was something so familiar about this man as well, but what was it. Luke tried to reach out to the Force but again felt nothing. The man pointed behind him, "He just got his hand repaired and the droid demanded it to be tested before he could leave." The Chancellor nodded and was soon surrounded by the press or as he called them, paparazzi. Luke studied the scene before him; no one paid attention to Leia, Han, or himself. They were just civilians caught in war, nothing special. The press was hungrily interviewing all the people around him. The brown-red haired man had the most press around him as he answered questions politely, "Well the Senate will figure…."
"There he is!" an unknown voice screamed at the top of her lunges. With one statement everything changed. The crowd, which had been "loud" before, now more than quadrupled their volume and fireworks blew up in the Coruscant sky. The press had all moved to the exit of the ship to see the large hooded figure retreating from the innings of the ship. Han laughed, "All that for him?" Padme looked over at Han, "Always." Luke and Leia shared a glance as a loud speaker from one of the nearby buildings boomed, "The Hero with No Fear! Anakin Skywalker is home!" When Anakin's giant hooded figure was visible the girls behind Luke screamed like crazy Tuskian Raiders. Making Luke, Han, and Leia jump, the girls started chanting, "Take off you hood!" Anakin glanced at Obi-Wan who motioned him to remove it. Anakin reached up slowly as he pulled down his hood, which caused the cameras to swarm around him as the crowd, started to scream louder. Luke, Leia, and Han couldn't believe their eyes, their eyes looked upon a young strong solider. Open-mouthed Leia could not take her eyes off her father, as weird as it sounded she had to admit, he was gorgeous. Han noticing Leia's reaction whispered down with a bit of jealousy, "Remember he's your father…"
Luke didn't notice his friends' conversation he was in awe of his father. A video of his father's fighting was playing up on one of the building's screen. He was more amazing than Luke could even imagine. Luke studied his father as he waved timidly to the crowd around him. Luke may have been way smaller than his father's huge structure but they did look alike. They had the same hair color and eye color, which made Luke smile. His Aunt and Uncle never told him that he looked like his father. Luke's gaze was interrupted when his father walked in his direction giving Luke a small nod before shaking hands and greeting the senators. Leia waited for Anakin to greet Padme, she couldn't wait to see their big lover reunion. Leia frowned as Anakin nodded to the Padme, "Senator Amidala." Only for Padme to smile back, "General Skywalker." Leia could have screamed, this is the first time they saw each other face to face and that was their lover's greeting! She glanced at Luke, who seemed to have the same reaction to his parents meeting as she did. Han bumped Leia and gave her an "I told you so look." Leia frowned, I should have known it was too good to be true. They were only friends! The hug that they shared in the cell was just a friend hug! He cared for her but only as a friend!
As Anakin turned away, Obi-Wan followed close behind. The Chancellor, senators, guards, Luke, Leia, and Han followed the two Jedi slowly. Luke smiled as each clone saluted his father as a serious face Anakin nodded back to each and every one. By the time they had all reached the Jedi Temple the whole group had gone deaf from the screaming. Han couldn't stop laughing at the things he heard the girls… and a few males yell to Anakin. Luke tried to silence his friends with glares but it did no good because it made Han laugh more.
Luke watched as his father and the brown-red haired man bowed to men who he guessed were Jedi Masters. The Jedi Masters signaled for Senator Amidala, the Chancellor, Luke, Leia, and Han to follow them. After Luke was done being in awe and admiring the Temple along with all the Jedi within it, he looked at Leia as they continued through the Temple, "What are we going to do?"
Well what do you think!? Review please! :)
