A/N Alright, I'm really sorry about not updated in a week but I've been
vamped with school work and babysitting and everything. Please enjoy this
chapter and I'm deeply sorry about the wait.

Tangled Fates Chapter 3
"Master Kenobi, good afternoon ah, and young Skywalker." Palpatine said smoothly.
"Chancellor," I said bowing, then in turn to Yoda and Mace, "Masters Windu and Yoda."
"I'm so glad you and Anakin could take on this mission and the senator is…well as happy as she can be with extra protection." He continued.
I groaned inwardly; a senator…oh, they're so finicky; always thinking the tiniest thing is an attempt on their life.
Anakin coughed, "If you'll excuse me Chancellor, but what exactly is our mission? I mean I gather that we're going to protect a senator but please be more specific. We Jedi like to do some back round checks before missions."
Palpatine laughed, revealing a row of unpleasant yellowish teeth, "Oh, my dear boy, there is hardly time for a 'back round check,' you'll be leaving as soon as you pack your things. But I'll brief you. You remember Queen Amidala, don't you?"
My stomach dropped. Ami? We couldn't be going to protect Ami, not my love, my life, my angel…could we?
"Padme???" Anakin asked excitedly. I knew well of Anakin's mother-son relationship with Padme.
"Yes…Padme." Palpatine said with somewhat of a sniff.
Anakin blushed a deep crimson, "I-I mean…yeah, I do remember Amidala."
"Yes, anyway Amidala is in trouble, no matter how little she'll admit it, everyday seems to be a new threat on her life. She is a close friend of mine," at that Anakin choked in a small snort. I gave him a reproving glance.
//Now is NOT the time Anakin.// I told him with my mind.
//I'm sorry Master, it's just that…// He replied.
//I know, don't do it again.// I commanded.
"So I want to see her get hurt and I told her to have tighter security. You were chosen because of your bond with Amidala. Now you better go pack your things, Amidala is looking forward to seeing you." He finished.
I grinned, I was really going to see Ami again! This was amazing, I hadn't seen her in almost a decade.
I looked over at Anakin, he seemed as happy as I was.
"Sometimes I wish I had Jedi powers, I could see what you two are thinking.' Palpatine said smiling.
"To tell Anakin's thoughts, Jedi powers you need not." Yoda smiled, "A different story though is Obi-Wan's."
"I am simply happy to see Queen Amidala again,"
"That is Senator Amidala." Palpatine corrected.
"Oh, sorry, I mean I'm just happy to see Senator Amidala again. Ani and I have made so many friends on our missions but almost never have the chance to see them again. It's a pleasant change." I said masking my voice from emotion.
Yoda looked at me with the thoughtful, probing look he often wore when studying Anakin. I knew that he somehow knew that it was something more than I was saying.
I felt kind of uncomfortable under his intense gaze so I said hastily, "Well, come Anakin, we better go pack our things."
Ani and I bowed and walked away.
I heard Yoda hobbling along behind us. As we reached the waiting area I turned around, "What is it, Master Yoda?"
"Go, Anakin," He said with a wave of his hand, "A private word with Obi-Wan I must have."
I knelt down to his level and repeated, "What is it Master Yoda?"
"Love her you do." He said in his gravelly voice.
"L-love who? A-a Jedi does not know love!" I stuttered.
"Ah, a good liar you never were Obi-Wan." He smiled.
I bowed my head, "I'm sorry, Master Yoda."
He shook his head, "Tangled fate is. Most tangled yours, Miss Amidala's and Master Skywaker's is."
I looked up curiously.
He sighed, "Right for you, the senator is not."
"But,"
He held up one tiny green hand, "A friend you are, Obi-Wan. And hurt I do not want to see you."
"W-what? Hurt? Amidala would never hurt me! I don't even know what you're talking about, in love…I!" I exclaimed jumping up angrily.
He banged his cane in the cold metal floor angrily, "A fool I am not! The fool you are Obi-Wan for to the dark side all lovers go!"
A/N So how did you all like this chapter? Kind of slow I know but I needed to write it.
