Anakin woke, early in the morning, when the sun was just rising. It was still cool, but he was very warm underneath the thick comforter, especially with Padme snuggled up against him. He silently watched her sleep, smiling at angelic she looked. Her dark brown curls tumbled over her shoulders, and the corners of her mouth were turned up slightly in a peaceful smile. He watched her, wishing that he could stay in bed forever. But he had promised the Jedi that he would leave for the human world today, and their children needed help. What was more important, his wants or their needs? There was no question about it: they had to leave as soon as possible.

Suddenly, Padme began to stir. She sighed, still half asleep, and slowly opened her eyes. Blinking in the now bright light, she stared sleepily up at Anakin. She gave a cute yawn and slowly stretched.

"Good morning, Ani." She smiled up at Anakin. "How long have you been awake?"

"Quite a while." Anakin smirked. "I was wondering why in the world you were still asleep." They laughed. "Though you did look quite beautiful while you were sleeping. Just like an angel." He looked intently at her. "My angel."

She blushed, and then sat up a little, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I'm so glad you're here with me, Ani. I missed you so much."

He put his arms around her. "I missed you so much it hurt. You don't know how glad I was when I found out that you forgave me."

"I love you, Anakin."

"I love you so much, Padme."

Padme pulled back, rather unwillingly. "Oh! I forgot! We have to be at the portal at dawn, don't we? We're late!"

Anakin rubbed her back comfortingly. "It's ok, Padme. Obi-Won told me to contact him when we wanted to leave. He understood that we might want to sleep in a little, or spend a little more time with each other, when things are still peaceful."

Padme sighed, relieved. "That's so considerate of Obi-Won. He really cares about us." Anakin immediately agreed. "We should still leave pretty soon, though," she said. "We don't want more people to die because we delayed our trip to the human world."

She got out of the comfortable bed and walked across the marble floor, her bare feet making slapping noises on the smooth stone. When she opened the balcony doors, a cool breeze swept into the warm room. Anakin got out and walked over, standing behind Padme. They looked out at the beautiful view, the part to their left of rolling hills and towering trees, of fresh green grass, wildflowers, and a winding river, sparkling in the early sunlight. To their right, was the city, very different from the meadows and forests, but still quite beautiful. People were just starting to wake up, and a gorgeous sunrise of many colors was splayed across the wide expanse above them. Right on the horizon was a glowing ball of light, a warm yellow, just beginning to peek over at the still silent city, as if it was wishing everyone in it a good morning. Birds chirped merrily.

The couple looked out at the beautiful sight before them, basking in the early rays of the sun. Finally, Padme turned and headed back into their room.

"We should probably start packing now," she said. "We don't want to show up in the human world having nothing but the clothes on our bodies." Anakin laughed, and they set to work, each of them packing a duffel bag full of clothes, supplies like lanterns and ropes, food, water, blankets, and other necessities. Anakin was amazed to find that all of his favorite clothes, and a ton more, were stuffed into a big closet with his name on it. Robots brought the supplies and two gigantic money bags, stuffed to the brim.

After about twenty minutes, the couple was declared done with packing, and Anakin withdrew a comlink he had received from Obi-Wan. He pressed a button and said, "We are ready to leave, Master. We will be at the portal in fifteen minutes."

The comlink beeped, and Obi-Wan's name appeared on the tiny screen. Anakin pressed the comm button. "Very good, Anakin. I will pass on the message, and Master Windu, Master Yoda, and myself will meet you there."

Anakin quickly pocketed the comlink and grabbed his and Padme's duffel bag, slinging one over each shoulder.

"Oh, Anakin, you don't have to do that. I can carry it," Padme said, and tried to take the duffel bag from him.

Anakin lifted it out of her reach, giving her a teasing smile. "In fact, I do have to, Senator Amidala. It is my job." Padme laughed, and he joined in, as she grabbed his arm, trying to reach it.

Finally, she gave up, panting with effort and laughing at the same time. "Alright, if you must, Jedi Skywalker," she teased, walking out of the apartment with her husband at her heels.

They took Anakin's speeder to the Jedi Headquarters, and were immediately let in. In front of them were all three Jedi Masters, just as Obi-Wan had said. They quickly exchanged warm greetings, and then set off along a different corridor than the one that led to the Seeing Pool. In no time, they were standing in another beautiful garden, nearly identical to the one that held the Seeing Pool. In the center of the fragrant plants was a pool, over which swirled a thick blanket of mist. The trees were covered with dew, and a cloak of mist hung over them, making the whole place look magical.

Anakin stopped and stared in wonder at the place. "The portal to the human world, this is," said Yoda, quietly. "Leave whenever you want, you may. Into the pool, you must jump. To a forest in Naboo, the portal will bring you. Coruscant, the Rebels are now upon. Journey you must to Coruscant. After your mission is complete, spend one free day with your family, you may."

Mace Windu stepped forward. "After you are done with your mission and that one day, you can radio Master Kenobi. Your comlink will still work in the human world. However, only you and Padme can use it. It will automatically return to your pocket should you ever lose it. Then, return to the forest in Naboo from which you arrived. Use the Force, Anakin, and you will know at exactly which spot the portal is located. Obi-Wan will bring you back. I have here the Darth Vader suit that our expert droids made. It looks exactly the same, does it not?" He smirked and withdrew it from a sack. Anakin gave a brief nod. "It should fool the apprentice and his army. I trust you do not want to put it on when you don't have to; I suggest that you put it on later when you need to." Anakin gave another nod. Mace Windu paused for a moment and handed the suit to Anakin, who put it carefully inside his duffel bag. "You will be able to be killed, of course. You will be able to be injured as well. However, you will always be able to come back, so it is as if you cannot be killed. Still, I am sure that you would rather avoid the pain of dying." He smiled. "If you give up, or would just like to return here, radio Master Kenobi. However, I believe that you would not return without a victory, Anakin."

Anakin bowed. "Indeed, Master."

"Very good, Anakin," Obi-Wan said warmly. "I will contact you if we get any more information about this apprentice of Sidious's. You can contact me any time."

"Thank you, Master. I promise that I will make you very proud. I will avenge all of those whom I have killed."

Anakin and Padme stepped towards the pool, both with determined looks on their faces. Padme was wearing an outfit just like she had for the battle of Geonosis, and Anakin was wearing Jedi robes. They were ready to fight, to protect the Republic and their children.

"Anakin. Padme." The couple looked back to Yoda. "May the force be with you always."

"Thank you, Master Yoda."

They jumped into the portal. Everything went black. And then they were lying upon the fresh green grass of a huge forest.
