Sentanced

A blinding flash of light burst upon Jordana as the door opened. She was pulled out and handcuffed. Next to her, Anakin was receiving the same treatment.
"Jordana, what are you doing here?"
"Long story."
Several Jedi lead them to the Council chambers. Soon the doors opened up and they were pushed inside. They stood before the Council, facing Master Yoda and Master Windu. Obi-Wan was in his usual place, and Tahira was no where to be found.
"We are giving you a chance to explain you're actions before we decide your fate." Mace said.
"What is it that you want explained exactly?" Jordana said politely.
"Where to begin? You two have have defied the Code, not to mention committed felonies-"
"What are you talking about? Last I checked, falling in love was not a crime against the Republic." Anakin demanded.
"No, but breaking and entering is." Obi-Wan replied.
"But I have done nothing of the sort, Master!"
"No, but I have." Jordana whispered, not taking her eyes off the floor.
"Jordana?" he was confused, "What have you done?"
"She'll have time to explain herself when Senator Amidala arrives. But first Anakin, why did you marry Amidala when you knew it was forbidden by the Code for Jedi to marry?"
"I loved her. I've loved her since I was ten years old. She said she loved me." He answered quietly. There was a knock on the door. The doors opened and in walked Padme Amidala.
"Thank you for coming Senator." Yoda greeted.
"You're welcome Master Yoda. I wanted to hear Jordana's explanation for earlier today." Everyone in the room, even Anakin, stared at her in anticipation.
"I went to talk to you today Senator, nothing more." She replied quietly.
"If this had happened before the war, I would have believed you."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You killed 'Ventress' out of anger, who's to say you wouldn't have done that to me?"
The room fell into a shocked lull. That had always been a sore subject, and one most hadn't touched in over a year.
"Now what makes you think I would waste my time killing you?" Jordana spat back venomously.
"You threatened me!"
"Those buns are wound too tightly around that thick skull of yours, Senator. I have done no such act."
"Yes you did! On our wedding day you said if I broke his heart, you'd kill me!" There were murmurs around the room.
"I don't know where you got that notion from but-" She cut off halfway through her defense. She had done her best to block many memories of the wedding during the war. And it appeared that her harmless threat had been one of those lost memories.
"Shit." she murmured, looking down at the floor. She didn't want to look anyone, especially Anakin, in the eye.
Jordie… she heard his voice in her head. She didn't looked up at Anakin, expecting him to be angry.
I'm sorry Anakin…
Don't be…I'm not angry with you. was his reply. She looked up at him. He smiled at her, touched that she would care enough to threaten his own wife if she broke his heart. Those words were all that was needed to boost her boldness.
"Tell me something Senator, since you seem to remember my 'threat' so very well. If I were really supposed to kill you if you broke his heart, then why would you leave him out of the blue, with a shitty explanation, then kiss Obi-Wan after you tell him what just happened?"
Loud whispers flew across the room. This was probably not the best way to break this to Anakin, but her hatred for Amidala was fueling her actions, and she could sense Anakin's anger, which had been bottled up for several hours, snap.
"You said you loved me Padme! No sooner than you leave me do you kiss my Master!"
"I…I…" she stuttered. He didn't let her finish; he had turned to Obi-Wan.
"Master how could you! I trusted you! You're like a father to me and this is how you betray me!" he screamed. Then he turned away from Obi-Wan and turned to Jordana. She looked down, expecting him to yell at her too.
Jordie… she looked up at him.
Yes Anakin? He managed to get his hand to hold one of hers, despite the fact that they were in cuffs.
You're the only one I trust now.
With that outburst, Mace Windu grew angry.
"This Council will not be used as a showroom for romantic betrayal!" he yelled. Jordana turned her head to him, her eyes cold.
"Tell that to the Senator! For if she had not left Anakin none of this would have happened!" she said, defiantly.
"No! It was you, Anakin, who was unable to control his emotions; who asked the Senator to marry you despite the Code. And it was you, Jordana that failed to tell the Council about the wedding which you witnessed; who threatened Senator Amidala; who broke into the Senate. Both of you are in violation of the Code!" he yelled. Jordana and Anakin moved closer to each other, him still holding her hand tightly.
"But she was the one who said 'yes'." Anakin said harshly.
"To be punished you are." Yoda replied. "Lying, deceit, anger…ways of the dark side are they." Both of them began to tremble slightly. Mace Windu and Yoda looked to the rest of the Council members, who were all nodding their heads. All except Obi-Wan.
"Obi-Wan, you know why this has to be done."
"I know." He whispered, two small tears falling down his cheeks.
"To be executed…you are." Yoda said softly.
"What! Why?" Anakin yelled. He pulled Jordana closer to him.
"You two are edging towards the dark side. One of you alone is too powerful for us to let that possibility happen, much less both of you. If we were to just expel you, we risk another Count Dooku episode. We cannot risk you two falling to the dark side." Mace Windu explained calmly.
"Besides, he hasn't been found yet, despite the fact that his armies have been destroyed, he is still at large. If he were to find you…" Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi stated before trailing off.
"The Chancellor will never allow it! I'm his personal representative!" Anakin yelled.
"The Chancellor has no business in Jedi affairs!"
"The only way to bring balance to the Force it is." Yoda added.
"I regret that it had to turn out this way." Mace Windu said, turning to the other Jedi, motioning for them to take them away.
"I'm sorry Anakin, Jordana." He said, as they were being lead out.
"I bet you are!" Anakin growled. Jordana glared at Padme, as she too was being lead out next to Anakin.
