********** The Dining Hall at the Starship**********
You and Sabe sit on opposite sided of the table.
"Why am I here again?" asks Sabe.
"I want company" you say.
"And they've just arrived" she says to you. "Or shall I say he's just arrived" Anakin arrives in the dining hall and comes over to you table as Sabe slips out of the door.
"Mind if I join you?" he asks.
"Not at all" you reply with a smile. He sits down opposite you.
"Obi Wan is driving me totally crazy" he says sleepily. "Being a Jedi wasn't as fun as it looked, even if I am "the Chosen One" that Qui-Gon thought I was."
"It must be difficult having sworn your love to the Jedi" you say to him. "Not being able to do the things you like"
"Or be with the people that I love." he finishes.
"Are you allowed to love?" you ask him. "I thought that was forbidden for a Jedi." He smiles weakly.
"I want you to come with me on a retreat." he says. "To a lake." You smile.
"When?" you ask.
"Tomorrow" he says quickly.
"Okay" you agree. He smiles at you.
"I think I have to go back to my room." he says and he gets up. "I will see you tomorrow then?" You nod.
"I should be returning too" you say and head down the corridor. As you get to your apartment, you find it unlocked. Wondering why it could be you walk in.
"Sabe?" you ask.
"What is it?" she says walking in from her room.
"Oh good" you say relieved. "I wasn't sure why the door was unlocked."
"Did I forget to lock it?" she says curiously. "Sorry about that" she apologizes.
"That's okay" you say to her. You stare out the window. For a moment neither of you say anything. "Anakin asked me to go on a 'retreat' with him" you tell her, breaking the silence. She looks at you, shocked.
"He did what?" she asks you, shocked.
"Yeah" you say. "Tomorrow"
"Whoa" she says. "He's really fallen for you."
"What do you mean, 'Fallen for me'?" you ask her. She sighs.
"Padme" she tells you shaking her head. "You're never going to get anywhere in life if you don't recognize signs!"
"What signs?" you ask her. Sabe looks as though she's going to go crazy with frustration.
"Okay" she says, trying to calm her voice. "Anakin loves you. You love Anakin. GET IT!"
"I do not love Anakin!" you protest.
"Oh give me a break!" Sabe says. You can defiantly hear the other handmaidens giggling loudly. "I was there. I saw how he looked at you. I saw how you looked at him. I'm not stupid Padme." she says. "Now I'm going to pick you out something to wear to your 'retreat' with Anakin, because you're going, no matter what you say to me."
You and Sabe sit on opposite sided of the table.
