Chapter 2
After the Master and his padawan settled in their quarters, they
wash themselves up and prepare themselves to meet the Queen in the
dinning hall. Suddenly a guard came knocking on the door. Obi-wan opens
the door and asks, "What is it?"
"Sir, the Jedi council had just requested for you to go back
immediately."
"Master this must be an important matter since the council knows
that we are on a mission." Anakin questions.
"You are right my padawan, but I don't want to leave the Queen if
there is an assassin out there."
"Master, you should go, I can take care of this matter. It would
be a great practice before my trials right?" Anakin pleads
"All right, tell the Queen that I am very sorry that I cannot be
here but I left her in very capable hands" Obi-wan managed to squeeze a
smile. "May the force be with you padawan."
"And you my master." Anakin gives him a playful punch.
"Owwwww" Obi-Wan cries sounding hurt and punches Anakin back.
"Hey." Anakin yells and lunges forward to punch him back, but is
put into a headlock instead because Obi-wan is just too quick for him.
"Now padawan you have to behave yourself when I am gone." Obi-wan
enforces. "We talked about the 'Queen situation' right?"
"There is no longer a situation Master." Anakin chokes out, the
headlock is a lot tighter than he has anticipated.
"Very well." Obi-wan lets go of him and straightens his robes.
Before he makes it out to the door he turns and says, "and make sure
you eat your vegetables and mediate."
Anakin rolls his eyes, "yes Master." Obi-wan laughed to himself and secretly thanks the Force for how Anakin turned out.
Dinning Hall
Anakin strolls into the dinning room with his red and black battle outfit. "He looks so cute in leather" Rabe teases and all the handmaidens giggle in unison. Anakin walks up to the Queen and stood beside her with his hands behind his back.
"Aren't you going to join us Anakin?" Amidala asks
"No, my Queen, I ate already, and my job here is to protect you, not to enjoy myself." He replies "My master left me in charge because the council had requested for his presence back at the temple, and I must not disappoint him." Anakin finishes.
Amidala could barely breath probably with Anikan stand two feet away from her, let alone enjoy her dinner. Yet, even though he is so close to her, he seems so distant.
All through dinner Anikan demonstrates great patience for he did not move an inch. Although, he did occasionally look around to see if there are any signs of danger around them. Amidala is quiet disappointed that Anikan is not joining her for dinner, she has so much catching up to do with him. He is so different now, his sky blue eyes use to glow with mischief but now they seem to be filled with sorrow and pain. Trumpets blast and disrupt Amidala's train of thoughts. The trumpets are for Bail Organa's entrance. Amidala has totally forgotten about her fiancée. She gathered herself and stood up, Bail took her in his arms and gave her a quick peck on her cheeks. She giggles at herself for how silly she is, totally forgotten about the man whom she is suppose to marry in four months.
"Are you alright? I came as soon as I heard about the attempt." Asks a worried Bail.
"I am fine, the council sent Anakin Skywalker to protect me, and his master too. Unfortunately Obi-wan has to go back to the temple for an urgent meeting."
"Good, good... I am glad that the council send one of the finest Jedi ever to be your bodyguard, I heard so much about you."
"Your majesty, it is an honor to protect your fiancée." He shot back frostily.
Bail does not seem to notice Anakin's discomfort and continued, "I have to go back to Alderaan to resolve some issues. I will be back in time for our ball." He flashes her one of his dashing smiles, which seems to have lost its affect on her.
"Right the ball." Amidala replied not really listening because her thoughts were on someone else. 'What are you doing Ami? You are going to marry Bail who is the most eligible bachelor in the whole galaxy. Stop thinking about Anakin. He is like your younger brother. You are suppose to CARE for him not LUST after him.' Amidala shook the thought out of her head. 'I know I am just curious about Anakin and things that he has done. That is why I can't get him out of my head'
After dinner, Anakin and Amidala's handmaiden escorts her back to her room. "You are not going to come in with us are you?" Sache asked
"My orders is not to let her be alone with anyone at any time, so I guess I am going to come in with you, if it is o.k. with you, Your majesty?" Anakin turns his attention to Amidala.
"But you can't..." Sache insists
"It's o.k. Sache Anakin can come in" Amidala cuts her off..
The handmaidens change Amidala out of her gown and into her pajamas. They then remove her make-up and brush her hair gently. During all this Anakin is just ten feet away with his back turned to them. After the handmaids are done Amidala dismisses them. Maybe she can talk to him now, Amidala thought happily, but before she can say anything Anakin spoke.
