Chapter 3
Anakin spoke...
"Your majesty, I know this is not the time but can you just hear me out?"
"Of course, anything for you Ani." Amidala smiles
"Well I have never really told anyone about this except for my closest friends back in the temple, so this is a pretty big secret."
"Anakin, I will no tell a soul."
"Well you better not because it is pretty embarrassing for you too. You see at first I want to come here not just to protect you but to tell you how much you mean to me." His head bows.
"Ani..."
"Wait, let me finish, I know you are marrying Bail. You see I got this crazy idea that you don't love him and that this whole marriage is just another political thing. Then I realize what a fool I heard you giggle happily at his presence. How I wished that you were thinking about me when you giggled."
"Ani..."
"Just hang on, let me finish I will be quick." He gathers himself. "I have just made a fool of myself, but I made up my mine. I will not interfere and I wish you two have a wonderful marriage." When he finished he looks up into Amidala's eyes with his now watery blue eyes.
Amidala is in shock; she is flooded with all these thoughts. She couldn't understand why her heart skips a beat when Anakin said that she meant something to him and then when he said that he is giving up, her heart stops.
"Your majesty?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you o.k? I am sorry if this makes you uncomfortable. I hope that we can still be friends." Anakin pleads.
"Of course." Replies a disappointed Amidala "We will remain as friends"
"Good night your majesty and one more thing" Anakin reached out and touched her temple. "I am going to form a bond with you, don't worry it is just a weak bond so this way I know where you are at all time but I won't be able to read your thoughts"
Amidala twitches when she felt a little current hit her. Her skin burns at his touch.
"I will be right next door if you need me," he calls before departing for his room.
Anakin closes the door behind him and wept quietly, while Amidala did the same.
The next morning Amidala wakes up with tear stains running down her cheeks. She better washes her face before her handmaidens ask too many questions. Just when she finishes drying her face off, someone knocks on the door.
"Hate to disturb you your majesty but the guards had just informed us that another Jedi knight has been sent as a replacement." Sache announces.
"What?" Amidala shouts in response. 'How can this be Anikan can't leave so soon...When am I going to see him again. I got to think of an excuse to keep him here.'
"For Obi-wan." Sache interrupts Amidala's thought.
"Oh right." Amidala signs of relieve.
The throne room
Amidala sits in her throne with Anikan standing right next to her. She waits patiently as captain Panaka brings in the other Jedi. The Jedi knells down in front of the Queen and said. "You majesty, I am Padawan U'Loc, I have been assigned to protect you along side Padawan Skywalker." Just as he is about finish, Anikan ignites his lightsaber and swung fiercely at U'Loc. With cat like reflex, U'Loc ignites his own saber and blocks Anakin's attack. The two Padawan engages in a furious battle with neither side backing down. No one knows what to do but to stare in amazement. Their speed and grace is beyond anything that they have ever seen. U'Loc uses Force push and sends Anakin flying back into a pillar.
Anikan picks himself up and dusts himself off.
"Cheater, I thought we made up new rules a month ago saying that no force push was allowed." Anakin whines, sounding a little hurt.
"No we said we can't pull each other's pants off with the force, remember we made that rule up after you use the Force and pulled off my pants right in front of all the female padawans." U'Loc defends himself and offers Anakin his hand. Anakin takes it and helped himself up and secretly laughs at the flashback of U'Loc loosing his pants in front of a room full of padawans.
'Cough, cough' the boys turn around and see that the queen is standing right behind them. "I take it that you know each other."
"Know each other we are practically brothers." Anakin replies. Amidala have never seen him so happy.
"Anakin and I have known each other since 10." U'Loc replies.
"Amidala, U'Loc is one of the most promising padawan in the temple...Well next to me of course." Anikan teases.
U'Loc is exactly the same height as Anikan and as strongly built as Anikan too. Instead of blond spikes U'Loc's hair is brown and he has deep brown eyes. Aside from that the two men are pretty much identical.
This is how U'Loc would look like
