thought. But still, George did a good enough job. Wow his story was
genius. Anyway that's all.
It was winter in Naboo, and although Amidala loved her planet, she disliked winter. She did not like the fact that her beautiful gardens were covered in snow.
On this particular day however she had decided to walk amongst the palace grounds. She had been out there for a long time, getting as far away as she could from the sight of the palace while on foot. Her handmaidens were not to be seen, but the queen knew that they were not far. Though she was not strong in the force, Amidala had a great intuition.
She was now at the edge of the frozen pond, located south of the place. She paused and sighed. She thought about her life, about her world, and about her people. She stood motionless for a very long time. She was at peace here, surrounded by white snow, that proclaimed beauty and innocence, a blanket of protection. But that was just on the outside.
Amidala had experienced great pains, during her life. She sighed once more, now closing her eyes. She let her heart soar. She let the peace heal a little bit of the pain. She opened her eyes once more, and looked ahead.
"You should have let the peace heal all of your pain." A familiar gentle voice said quietly.
It was going to be a good day. She thought. She shivered slightly, realizing suddenly how cold it was outside. She turned around, smiled and felt herself warm up once more.
"Remembering the pain prevents me from repeating the mistake" She said in her best queen voice. Trying to figure out why she was so warm suddenly.
Obi-Wan Kenobi's face lit up and broke into his charming grin.
"Forgive me Queen Amidala for intruding you. I was told that you were out here when we arrived." He said explaining. Amidala looked at him, and smiled back. It was silly of her to be so bad tempered, especially since they had not seen each other in over eight years. He was the same man, she had met. Amidala could feel that. His face was just as fresh and young as it had been. Suddenly Amidala cut of her train of thought, because the Jedi might read it and assume the wrong thing.
"Obi-Wan, I am so happy to see you. It has been far too long." She said stepping in to hug the famous Jedi. As she did so she felt even safer, than she had felt before he had interrupted her. She brushed aside the thought thinking that it was because he was a Jedi, and would of course protect her if she needed it.
The Jedi returned her hug and then quickly pulled back. Amidala could feel the temperature rising again. She looked at Obi Wan curiously, and sure enough he smiled at her.
"I felt that you were cold and I also saw you shivering so I thought I'd warm you up a little." He explained.
"How thoughtful of you Master Kenobi." She said. She had forgotten earlier that he was now a full Jedi and a Jedi master.
He smiled at her once more, gazing directly into her eyes. He did not seem to notice that he was doing it until the queen looked away. He felt a slight change in her emotions, but as a queen she had been trained to control those almost as good as a Jedi. And at times like these Amidala was very happy to have been trained as a queen.
"Yes well, we couldn't have you catching a cold, with the Senate gathering in two weeks." he said slyly.
She smiled at him. She did not think that Jedi's could be sly, but as it had been before, Obi Wan managed to surprise her.
"Ah yes, the senate gathering. I am sorry I was not informed that you were the Jedi assigned to be the one escorting me." She said slightly embarrassed. " I only knew that they were sending a Jedi for my protection during the journey to Coruscant. They never said it was you."
"Yes, well master Yoda foresaw that I was going to be a vital part in an event that would happen at the Banquet. After his vision, he immediately sent us out." He explained.
"Us?" Amidala asked.
"Yes, my padawin is also here. Anakin is very anxious to see you again my queen." He said to her breaking away form her gaze.
She stared at him for a moment as he said this. There was something inside her that felt a tinge of hurt, and discomfort hearing the news he gave her. She ignored it and said,
"Oh yes, Anakin. I will be so glad to see him again. Come Obi-Wan, let's return to the palace before we both freeze to death." She said, walking away. Of course she knew that Jedi couldn't freeze to death. They could always control their temperature.
She had wanted to get away form their awkward situation. The most confusing part was that she simply didn't know why it was so awkward.
Obi Wan followed closely behind also aware that there was a tinge of awkwardness during their brief time alone.
He found it strange, that a Jedi master like he could still be so controlled by some emotions. He sighed and followed Amidala, she had not changed since their last encounter, when Obi Wan and Anakin had said their goodbyes to her, heading for the Jedi Temple. Obi Wan now smiled because he knew that his padawin would be very happy indeed.
**** Yes this is the end of the first chapter. I know it's short and kind of sucks right now. But I swear that I will update very fast. Please review. I will write faster when I know that people are actually reading my stuff. Thank you much.
May the Force Be with You
