My Heart Skips a Beat
Chapter 9: The Senate: Part 1
I had woken up the normal time for me, 5:00 a.m. It was harder to wake up, mainly because I had gotten so used to sleeping in late during my brakes. But, I had to get ready. I usually just showered in the afternoon; but I had to be as presentable as possible when I went to the senate. Sure, it was the Seppies' Senate, but it was still the senate. I wrote out a small note to leave for Lux, and with a bit of force help, left it taped to his door unnoticed by everyone. By the time this was all done, it was 7:30, and I had to meet Padme down in the garage, where our ride would be waiting. I grabbed my special cloak (it was specially made to fit over my "tails" as the boys call them).
I met Padme at the garage, where she was decked out in her dress and cloak. Our ride was nothing special, it wouldn't make anyone take any special interest in us, or get the whist that we were jedi and senator.
It was a short ride to their senate building, very quiet. Padme drove. When we arrived, the first thing that I noticed was that it was very grand and old fashioned looking. Very royal, and if you ask me, very fitting for the separatist senate. There were guards all around the building, making everyone going in show I.D. I looked over with big eyes at Padme, who just smiled, and nodded her head. We parked the car, Padme reached into her pocket and handed me and I.D. chip, I presumed Mina had given them to her the day before.
I felt my heart pounding as we walked up to the guards, but I tried to keep my face as calm and normal as possible. I attempted to steady my shaking hand as I handing the battle droid my chip.
"Please Move Along." It nodded, waving us into the building. I was finally able to breathe as I walked into the building.
My mind was wandering as Padme and I made our way around the building. All I could think about was what LUx and I would be doing if I was having a normal day back at his place. Finally, after showing my I.D. 5 more times, we were able to take our seats. The senate had already started, but Mina was just walking up to speak.
I would have paid attention, really, I would have, but my mind was still on Lux. What he was doing, what we would be doing, and more. I finally woke up when I heard cheering, and Padme turned to me and whispered-
"We did it Ashoka! There will finally be peace!" I looked at her and smiled, making the connection that they had extended the olive branch of peace to the Republic. Padme hugged me and started going on about something, but I couldn't help but feel like we were being watched by someone in the crowd of Senators….
Sorry this is so short, hectic week. I'll be posting the next part tomorrow or friday, depending on my schedule.
