Disclaimer: Not my thing. Don't own it.
"Listen Jedi. If you think I am going in there and let them treat us this way. You have another thing coming at you." She whispered angrily to the Jedi walking beside her.
"I don't think we have much of a choice. We need to get to that city to get out of here."
"Can't you just do your Jedi mind thing on them?" Amidala asked impatiently.
"I can't exactly do that Padmé. If you haven't noticed that woman" he said pointing to Tiene. "She's very strong in the Force. And if my suspicions are right so are most every inhabitant of this planet."
Amidala stopped walking, and so did Obi Wan. She looked at him desperately. Obi Wan knew she was up to something.
"Dathomir witch." She yelled over to Tiene.
The girl stopped and turned to them. She looked quite annoyed.
Amidala took a deep breath hoping her plan would work.
"I was mistaken. I do claim this man." She said clearly.
The witch face twitched with annoyance and anger.
"You are too late. You laid no claim to him earlier, and now he is mine."
Amidala stepped forward, she was now in her political mode, she kept a mask on her face, and did not allow herself to get angry.
"I misunderstood you earlier, sister witch," she said. " This man does belong to me." She continued. " We have been together for a very long time, and he is mine." She said holding Obi Wan's hands suddenly.
Obi Wan couldn't help but smile at this. The woman had been jealous of the Dathomir witch.
"You have no proof of your claim." Tiene said coldly.
Amidala looked at Obi Wan her eyes were pleading for some help.
Obi Wan sighed. He pulled out a Nubian crest from his robes, and showed it to Tiene.
Amidala's eyes widened, she had given it to him so long ago. She hadn't known he had kept it. She looked at him and he smiled back at her sheepishly.
"This is her crest. It proves that I am hers." Obi Wan said.
"It proves nothing man-witch." The girl insisted.
Obi Wan sighed. He waived his hands at her and repeated himself more forcefully this time.
"This proves that I am hers." He said once more.
"This proves that you are hers." The witch repeated dazed.
Obi Wan smiled and so did Padmé, relief was evident on her face.
They started once more on their long walk, the girl was in front of them and she seemed very angry now, although she never said anything.
Obi Wan suspected that she realized she had been tricked.
"You did the mind trick didn't you?" whispered Amidala.
"Well I simply preferred belonging to you." He said giving her a smile.
She stopped mid-stride.
"You have to stop doing that." She said to him frowning. The Jedi looked at her.
"I don't think I can." He said truthfully.
The queen was about to reply but his lips closed in on hers. And they were locked in a kiss. She instantly remembered the sweetness of his lips.
Then he broke it of.
"We should start moving," he pointed to Tiene who was a lot further from them now. " We're going to lose sight of her."
Amidala followed him.
"Obi Wan, you have to tell me the truth." She said walking beside him.
"Of course."
"Anakin isn't here right now. But he is still here Obi Wan. Once you remember your responsibilities… Will you just forget this ever happened again?" she asked.
He stopped and gazed at her.
"I don't know." He said looking into her eyes. "All I know is that I can't stop what I feel now. You are everything to me Padmé. And I am scared. Jedi aren't allowed to love. Even without Anakin there would be other problems Amidala. A million other problems. I just don't know. This is all so confusing." He said. "Why do I love you so much Padmé?" he asked her.
Amidala hugged him.
"For the same reason I love you. I was born for it."
They started following the Dathomir witch once more. But each was lost in their own thoughts. They both realized that they were avoiding a painful truth. But both were grateful for the little time they could forget.
For the little time, when it was just the two of them.

" I can't believe this. No one knows where they are, no one has seen either of them." Sabé cried to Anakin.
"It's alright Sabé, we will find them. They are probably all right too. I'm sure Master Kenobi is taking good care of her. Wherever they are."
Sabé looked at him. He didn't seem as obsessed about finding Amidala today as he had been for the last two days.
To tell the truth she hadn't been as worried either. They had been having too much fun together. The scrapes Anakin would get them into where enough o entertain anybody.
"Anakin where are we going next?" she asked.
"We need to find a place to sleep soon." He answered. " It's getting late.
"So who do you want to be this time?" she asked him. " Married or having an affair.?"
He laughed at her question. For the past few days they had been pretending to be either married or having a very lovely affair. It was the only way they could get one room together. And one room was all they could afford. Frankly neither of them minded anymore.
*******Ok so there it is. It took a long time but that's the next chapter. Review people. I really need your opinion on this one. My writing has been going downhill lately. I need some inspiration.
