After Anakin and I got back to the Jedi Temple the healers treated my injuries. When they were finished I went to the garden dell where I sat and meditated. I had a lot to think about. When Anakin and I had said we loved each other it was the first time we had said this. For me it confirmed what I already knew. There was no going back now as we had both expressed forbidden feelings for each other. Jedi were not supposed to love but we had clearly fallen in love. Oh if only things were simpler and we could be free to express our love without fear of being expelled from the order. The Masters were wrong we just knew it. But how could we show them that. I was so caught up in my meditation that I didn't notice Anakin joining me. He had decided to meditate himself and was still doing so when I ended my meditations. It was then I noticed how hot it was and decided to take a swim. I stood and walked to the lake where I removed everything except my inner tunic and pants.

I dived into the lake and joined the other Padawans and younglings who were swimming and playing games. I joined a group of younglings who are tossing a ball back and forth and joined their game. I was still tossing the ball back and forth with them when I notice that Anakin has come down to the lake and has stripped off down to his pants. By the Force his chest looks incredibly sexy and I have to quickly focus my thoughts on something else least my other thoughts are picked up. I see Anakin dive into the lake and a few moments later he pops up beside me and joins in the game I am playing with the younglings. At the end of the game Master Unduli who had joined us at the lake told the younglings it was time to go inside. Us Padawans were allowed to stay in the lake longer. The younglings obediently stream out of the lake and Master Unduli takes them back inside. I swam over to a quiet corner of the lake and watch the younglings leaving. When they have gone I notice that the other Padawans have also gone leaving us alone. Anakin has joined me and he has also noticed that we are alone.
"Finally alone again" he said.
"Yes" I said.
Anakin asked me how I was doing.
"Well I'm fully recovered from what happened. Just have to make a new lightsaber still" I said
Anakin told me that he and Obi Wan were going to be going to Geonosis, as the Separatists were believed to be there.
"Do be careful Anakin," I said.
I was already dreading his leaving. I knew I'd miss him terribly.
Anakin smiles, "Aren't I always" he said
Anakin smiled and leant forward. I eagerly awaited his kiss and kissed him back hungrily.

When we came up for air Anakin smiled at me.
"I wish we didn't have to be so careful not to be seen. This secrecy is killing me," he said.
"Me too" I said.
We kissed again and again. I finally broke the embrace knowing that we could be seen at any time.
"We shouldn't be doing this. What if we are seen?" I asked.
"No one is around" Anakin said, running a trail of kisses down my jaw ending at my lips.
The feeling of his lips on my skin set my skin on fire.
"Anakin we should stop. We aren't married and if we don't stop we may do something we'd later regret" Farra said.
I again picked up his thoughts.
"Like what you are thinking about," I said.
Anakin had the good grace to blush.
"I am nowhere near ready for that," I said.
"Don't worry I won't pressure you" Anakin assured me.

Reluctantly Anakin kissed me one last time then climbed out of the lake and went inside. I followed a few minutes later. As I got changed in my room into dry trousers and undertunic I reflected on Anakin's news. It would mean another long separation where I'd only know how he was doing via their reports. I would miss his nightly visits to my room, which had become a nightly ritual for us. Of course I expected I would see him tonight and we would have to make it special since it would be the last for some time. I knew I would survive our separation and it would make it all the sweeter to see him when he came back. I didn't have a chance to think about Anakin after that as it was dinnertime and then Ploon and I worked on my lightsaber technique until bedtime. Ploon had been displeased to hear that I'd lost my lightsaber but had accepted that it wasn't my fault. He'd arranged for me to borrow another one from a dead knight until I could make another one. I had felt strange in my hands and it had taken me some time to adjust to it, as it was a little heavier than mine had been and the hilt slightly longer.
