Previously: Anakin took Samantha to the dance. They share more romantic moments
together. A month later, Bantha
Stephanie and Darth Sidious were married. A month after that Marion tells Rhun that she's pregnant. A month later Bantha Stephanie gets
pregnant. Another month passes and it
is now February. Prunella, Mr. Idiot's
lover, finds out she's pregnant at the same time that Minka does. A month after that, Anakin goes to
Samantha's parents to talk to them about something.
"I
know all that, but can you get him for me? It's important."
She says, "I'll try, but there's no guarantee
that he'll be willing to talk to you."
"Thanks," Anakin says as Samantha goes inside
to talk to her father.
A couple minutes later Tim Jedi comes out led
by his daughter.
Anakin says,
"Can I talk to your father alone?"
"I guess so, but if you ask me, this isn't
good idea."
"Thanks."
Samantha leaves leaving Tim and Anakin
together.
"What is this about," Tim demands.
Anakin says,
"Well, it's about your daughter."
"I thought I made it clear to you that I
wanted you to stay away from my daughter, and that's an
order!"
"In that
case, I'm going to have to go against it. I love her…and I would like to marry her…with your consent of course."
Tim says, "Well you won't get it."
Anakin says,
"I'm going to purpose to her, and if she doesn't want to accept it, fine, but
I'm guessing she will. It's her
decision."
"You can
purpose to her, but she can't have a wedding without my help."
Anakin says, "Fine."
He leaves the
room and takes Samantha's arm in front of her father. Tim sighs. He'd seen them
together before and knew that neither of them were doing what he had said.
Anakin goes
down on one knee and says, "Samantha, there is something I need to ask you
right now. Our relationship has
grown…and now I wish for more than just a relationship…I wish that you would
become my wife and that we could share the rest of our lives together. Will you marry me?"
She smiles and says, "I've been waiting for
you to say those words for a long time. Of course I will!"
Anakin gives her a ring. He notices she is wearing another kind of
ring.
She sees him
looking at it and says, "Oh that's my special Coruscant ring. It has the seal of Coruscant on it to show
that I'm a member of the royal family of Coruscant. If I'm ever in any trouble where no one knows me, I can show it
to him or her so that they can help me. I cannot lose it. It's a form of
Identification, an ID. It's the only
proof I have as to who I am."
"You need proof? You'd think that everyone would know."
"You'd be surprised."
"Do I get one when we get married?" he says
in a kidding way.
"Yes," she says.
They kiss
again. Then Anakin looks at
Samantha.
"There is one
other thing."
"What is it?"
"We're going to have to wait a while until
your father approves a wedding."
She says, "I know that, but I can wait if
you can."
"I'd wait a
thousand years for you if I had to."
A month passes
and Idiotic Idiot (Mr. Idiot) marries Mrs. Idiot. During the next month, on May 19th Arawn Corta rushes
over to Darth Sidious' quarters.
He says,
"Have you heard the news…Anakin and the Queen are engaged."
Darth Sidious says, "So I've heard, which is
precisely why I need to act on our plans now…Send in Tarkin."
An hour
later, Anakin is walking down the streets of Coruscant. He needs to start training with Obi-Wan
again…things have finally settled down to the point where Obi-Wan's able to
take on Anakin again. And that is what
Anakin is doing now…he's heading to a meeting point where Obi-Wan is to be
waiting. But someone else is heading
for Anakin.
A man says,
"excuse me sir, but the Supreme Chancellor has sent for you. He says it's of utmost importance. He requires you right away. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine feels that your
life may be in danger. His message is
very urgent…for he feels that…someone may attempt to murder you."
Anakin is
visibly shaken by this news. Someone
out to kill him? Who? It had to be the Sith. Yoda had warned him.
"All right,
I'll be there right away."
Anakin and
this man head over to Palpatine's chambers together.
Until next
time!
