Chapter 9
"NO WAY!" Sabe screamed. Amidala still in a daze replied,
"Yes way, I just found out. That little boy I told you about, Ben's little brother, was hugging Obi-Wan and I asked what was so exciting and Obi-Wan said that Anakin was his little brother and Anakin said meet my big brother Ben." Sabe could barely contain her excitement,
"And, let me guess, you threw yourself in his arms and told him who you were and he carried you off to his room where he ravished you endlessly." That popped Amidala out of her shock and she blushed,
"Sabe! No! His master and his nine year old brother were right there!" Sabe rolled her eyes,
"That's why he carried you off to his room, duh." Amidala sighed,
"No, Sabe I was so shocked I just whispered Ben and gave a little laugh and walked our of the room." That burst Sabe's excitement bubble,
"Ami, you seriously need some instruction on how to seize a moment." Amidala looked at her,
"What was I supposed to do Sabe say, 'hey Ben guess what it's me Amidala, you know the girl you met seven years ago, also I'm actually Queen Amidala in disguise. My handmaiden and I switched places, sorry for all the torture we put you though, wanna marry me now?'"
"YES!" Sabe said exasperated.
"When I tell him I want it to be private, not in front of his master and little brother," Amidala said with her eyebrows raised. Sabe finally gave up and sat next to Amidala,
"So do we switch back now?" Amidala shook her head,
"No, it's still for my security that you're me and I'm just a handmaiden. When I speak to the Senate then we'll switch back." Sabe sighed,
"Thank God, I've been you so long I was convinced that you were going to say that you liked it this way and I was going to be you permanently. And yeah, I know you're going to marry the hottest man in the universe, but I do not want to sit thought those boring meeting day after day also this makeup is driving me crazy." Amidala laughed at Sabe's expression, "I'm not kidding Ami!"
"I know you're not," Amidala said still laughing, "I feel the same way," she paused and stopped laughing. A grin slowly spread onto Amidala's face, "However," Sabe looked at her suspiciously, "what you said isn't such a bad idea, I do kind of like being just a handmaiden." She stopped and stood up and headed for the door Sabe's eyes wide in shock,
"Oh no you don't Ami, I am not going to stay you forever!" Amidala continued to walk our the door,
"See you later Sabe, or should I say, your Majesty." The door slid shut behind her.
After catching up with Anakin about what has been happening after he left all those years ago, Obi-Wan decided to go to his room to meditate. He was really confused about how Padme reacted to Anakin telling her that his real name was Ben. She must have know that no parent in their right mind would name their child Obi-Wan. He hoped meditating on it would possibly give him an idea of why she acted that way.
Amidala had just rushed out of her room giggling like mad at Sabe, she wasn't serious about making Sabe stay her forever, there was no way she was letting Sabe marry the love of her life Ben, or should she say Obi-Wan. 'Mrs. Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mrs. Amidala Kenobi. I like the sound of that.' She went into her own little world and recounted all the memories of when she was a child after she kissed Ben for the first time. She remembered thinking about what their house would look like, how many kids they would have, 'three, two boys and one girl.'
They were both too caught up in their thoughts to see the people heading right towards them. They crashed right into each other and Obi-Wan fell forward and landed on top of Amidala. He groaned slightly,
"Well, at least I landed on something soft." He put his hands on the floor and pushed off slightly of the soft thing. He heard a little moan from underneath him. His eyes shot open and saw Padme underneath him eyes shut and groaning her hand rubbing her head slightly. He then realized that there he was in the hallway practically straddling a girl who was defiantly not his fiancé. He shot off her immediately then helped her sit up. She was still groaning and rubbing the back of her head,
"Ow, I'm sorry I should have been watching where I was going." Obi-Wan shook his head,
"No it's my fault," Amidala's eyes shot open when she heard his voice,
"Jedi Kenobi!" Obi-Wan gave her a look, "I mean Obi-Wan, hi," He helped her stand up, "Sorry about that." Obi-Wan shook his head,
"I told you it's my fault." She smiled,
"Alright, it is your fault." Obi-Wan pretended to get offended,
"Hey." They both laughed.
"I'm just kidding Obi-Wan."
"I know." When he said those two simple words she had a flash of déjà vu as she remembered that those were the last words she spoke to him when she left him seven years ago. He knees went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground. Luckily Obi-Wan was there and caught her by her arms. "Whoa, okay I think you need to come in and sit down for a sec, you must have hit your head pretty hard." He helped her into his room. He let her sit down on couch and he sat beside her.
"Obi-Wan this really isn't necessary," Amidala said trying desperately to get out of his room as quick as possible. Ever since the incident in the engine room, she wasn't sure if she could control herself around him. I mean she liked him when he was little, but now they were both older. He had grown up into an extremely attractive man and she was a fourteen-year-old girl for goodness sake, blame hormones.
"Are you sure?" Obi-Wan asked, inside he really wanted to get away from her as quick as possible, ever since he saw her in the engine room wearing that little frilly slip he had been thinking about incidents in his head what would have happened if he had kissed her. If he hadn't been a gentleman and hadn't had the control of the Force he would have pounced on her right there. But right now she had hit her head and he wanted to make sure that she would be okay.
"Really I'm fine," Amidala was about to push off the couch when Obi-Wan interjected,
"You might have a bump, let me see." He slid his hand into her hair at the back of her head; the hood of her outfit had come off when he fell on her. At that contact her head shot over to look at him and their eyes locked. Obi-Wan looked into her eyes and felt an overwhelming desire to protect this girl, shield her from everything and everyone who wished to harm her, he wanted to be the one to hold her, the one who she whispered I love you to, the one who would be by her side forever. He knew at that moment that he loved her. At that same moment Amidala looked into his eyes and saw how much he genuinely cared about her, he would save her from the Trade Federation or whatever came after her, and he would die to protect her. In that moment she knew that she truly loved him.
They didn't know which one moved first but before they knew it Amidala's arms were wrapped around his neck and one of his around her waist and their lips were melded into a passionate kiss. Obi-Wan's hand was still tangled in her hair and he tilted her head to the side slightly to deepen their kiss. Amidala remembered her fantasy in the engine room and hoped that this wasn't a fantasy, and if it wasn't she didn't want to get broken out of it ever. She pushed his long brown robe off him and proceeded to tug on his tunic. He got her message and pulled it off, their lips parted for a second when he got it over his head. She fell back on the couch pulling Obi-Wan with her. He remembered that frilly slip that she wore underneath her robe and he wanted to see her in it again. He found the hidden zipper in the front of her robe and pulled it down a little just to get it off her shoulders. He was tugging at the material that covered her left shoulder when a little gasp from the doorway caught their attention. Their heads shot towards the doorway and there stood Sache wide-eyed and mouth hanging open.
"Jedi Kenobi, your master wishes to speak with you," Sache said as calmly as possible trying to not let the scene in front of her faze her, "Excuse me please." Amidala and Obi-Wan locked eyes and she quickly pulled out from under him, knocking him unceremoniously onto the couch. She pulled the robe back onto her shoulders and pulled the zipper back up. She smoothed her frazzled hair down as best she could. Gave a little look back at Obi-Wan, one of longing, apology, and happiness. She then walked out the door chasing Sache. 'Probably making sure she doesn't tell my fiancé,' Obi-Wan thought. He then saw Padme pulling Sache behind her. He couldn't help but admire her hair all wild, not as neat as it usually is. Her lips red and swollen from his kisses and her face red from the passion she got from him.
Obi-Wan stood up and shut the door, then realized that the handmaiden who interrupted Padme and him told him that Qui-Gon wanted to see him. He then took in his appearance and decided to compose himself. He pulled his tunic and brown robe back on. He was happy that his hair was short, his padawan braid was a little messy, ah well he'd fix it later. He then rushed out of the room. He then came back in to grab his lightsaber, 'Qui-Gon would never let me hear the end of it if I forgot it. This weapon is your life, that's what he always says. I guarantee when I'm a Jedi Master I will never say that to my padawan.'
Amidala was pulling Sache behind her towards her room with Sache blubbering behind her,
"Sabe, what in the devil's name were you doing making out with her highness's fiancé, are you mad! I thought you were Ami's friend. I can't believe…" She continued on Amidala not mentioning that she was not Sabe. As soon as then entered her room Sache spotted Sabe currently washing off the make-up she wore when she was pretending to be Amidala. Sache then realized her mistake and slowly turned to Amidala who wasn't looking very pleased. Her arms were crossed and her foot was tapping impatiently.
"Oh, Ami, I'm so sorry. I had no idea. I thought you and Sabe had switched back," Sache said, fear filling her eyes. Amidala then took a breath and her angry expression and stance melted away,
"It's okay Sache, I'm just a little flustered." Sache then smirked,
"It's easily understandable." Sabe came out her face now devoid of make-up,
"What's going on?" she then looked at Amidala, "Whoa, Ami, what happened to you? Make out session with Obi-Wan?" She smiled jokingly, she loved teasing Amidala she was shocked when Amidala replied,
"Actually, yes, Sabe."
"WHAT!" Sabe screeched, "WHERE! WHEN!"
"Well I was walking down the hallway after you yelled about not wanting to be me forever, which I wasn't planning on at all Sabe," Amidala began, "I was laughing so hard at your reaction that I didn't see where I was going and ran straight into Obi-Wan and he fell on top of me." Sabe screamed,
"HE RAVISHED YOU IN THE HALLWAY!"
"No!" Amidala said then continued her story, "he was worried about my head because he thought I hit it pretty hard and he took me into his room."
"Where he ravished you?" Sabe asked hopefully.
"For the last time no, Sabe, there's no ravishing in this story," Amidala said impatiently, "We just kissed."
"You were more than just kissing Ami. Obi-Wan was shirtless and your robe was on its way off," Sache said still smirking, " it would have quickly become ravishing if I hadn't come in when I did."
"You interrupted them!" Sabe said shocked.
"It was an accident, Master Qui-Gon wanted to talk to him, and it's not my fault his door was unlocked," Sache said attempting to defend herself. The two handmaidens continued arguing as Amidala walked away and brushed her hair and soon everyone went to bed.
Amidala was tossing and turning in bed she was worried about Naboo. She decided to get up and donned her orange robe from earlier. Sabe told her that they got a transmission when she was gone, she decided to check it out. She walked out into the common area of the ship and went to the transmission station. She pushed the button to show the most recent transmission from Naboo. An image of Governor Bibble appeared,
"The death toll is catastrophic. We must bow to their wishes. You must contact me." The image flickered and disappeared leaving Amidala staring silently at the spot where his image just was. 'My people are dying and here I am searching for an old boyfriend and making out with Obi-Wan, I'm acting…well…I'm acting her age, but I'm a queen and my people are counting on me to act like one.' Her eyes lowered in shame as she tried to decide what to do. 'Nothing, they're just trying to determine a trace,' that's what Sabe told her, but what if her people really were dying. She didn't know what to do, but one thing was for sure, they were running out of time. She then turned to see Anakin sitting at the table curled up next to a wall. She looked at him with concern,
"You all right?" He replied in a little voice,
"It's very cold." He shivered slightly and Amidala picked up a blanket from nearby and unfolded it gently. She passed by Jar-Jar snoring and muttering in his sleep.
"You come from a warm planet, Ani," she placed the blanket over him gently and tucked him in slightly, "a little too warm for my taste. Space is cold." She continued looking at the little boy, so innocent, still untouched by the cruelties of the world. Sure he was a slave for his whole life, but Watto was a better owner than many. Sure he was slimy little thing, but he never beat his slaves. Anakin looked up at her with those big blue eyes,
"You seem sad." She looked away from his gaze,
"The queen is worried. Her people are suffering, dying." She turned to look at him again, "She must convince the senate to intervene or…I'm not sure what'll happen." He pulled one of his arms out from under the blanket and placed something in her hand,
"I made this for you. So you'd remember me," She opened her hand and unwound the cord from a little piece of stone that was carved. "I carved it out of a japor snippet," he looked at it admiring his work, "It'll bring you good fortune." She admired his work and looked up at him,
"It's beautiful. But I don't need this to remember you by," she smiled at him. He smiled and nodded in agreement as if saying, 'yeah I know I'm hard to forget.' Her expression turned serious, "Many things will change when we reach the capital, Ani, but my caring for you will remain."
"I care for you too," he paused, "only I…" She finished his statement,
"Miss your mother," she put her hand on his shoulder as he looked up at her.
Unbeknownst to the two they were silently being watched by Obi-Wan from the lift. He smiled at the two. Padme was so sweet, she barely knew Anakin and yet she was spending time with him and playing a surrogate mother figure, which he needed. He looked at Anakin. He remembered the conversation that he had with Qui-Gon earlier. He sighed then left to go back to his room.
Okay that's all for now, it was really hard for me to write this chapter, I think I'm falling into a funk. I don't know. I hope you all liked the little make out scene, I first was going to put it in, then I decided not to, then I slept on it, then I decided to put it in, and I'm going to post it before I change my mind again. Also what did Qui-Gon talk to Obi-Wan about? Does he know about his little make out session with 'handmaiden Padme?' Does he know that 'handmaiden Padme' is actually the queen? Does he know that she is the girl that Obi-Wan met as a child? Or is it not about Obi-Wan at all…Find it out in the next chapter of Forbidden! (I'm really enjoying making my author's notes like soap opera previews.) Well school shall be over soon so I probably will write the next chapter in a couple of weeks, maybe sooner, I don't know. REVIEW!
