1 The Glass Illusion



Takes place during "Attack of the clones", a Anakin and Padme fanficiton of course, and concentrates more about their thoughts. Thoughts that they'll never forget. For example what they thought when they saw each other.

I wrote this story because I thought that the book and movie didn't explain so much why Padme and Anakin fell llove. This story is therefore more about their feelings and what they think of each other and the persons that surround them







Chapter 1





He was standing in front of me. Eyes as blue as Naboo's summer sky, his golden hair casting bright gleams in the room he stepped into, a straight composure, showing the intelligence and strong personality he had.



He looked around the room, at the persons by my side, with a brief glimpse, but his gaze was on me, drinking the sweet view as his eyes traced over the features of my young face.





That is how I saw him the first second I lay my eyes on him, thinking; Who is this young man? That question grinded my mind as I greeted the old man next to him, who I indeed recognised though he once had saved my home, the dearest thing to my heart, which once had been a prison filled with honour and love, and which now represented my escape from reality.



It was my sharpness which made me remain my post, and not humiliate my self for asking the gentle men beside me what the name of this young man was, though humility would replace my curiosity.



I turned my head, slightly, and my eyes met his. A faint memory clouded my mind as I, forgetting myself, asked with a surprised voice; "Ani?"



The name had just slipped from my tong, though I thought that I had forgotten that sweet

small boy who had small place deep into my heart, even though I wasn't aware of it.





Doubt filled my eyes, as I looked at this young man, who with almost bowed head took a step forward, not answering my abrupt question. Suddenly he dared to raise his head, and once again I met his eyes as a smile I remembered began to form in his face.





"My goodness you've grown", I added, the chock of seeing little Anakin infront of me dispersing all matters and rules that a senator as I should have,





Obi Wan Kenobi, my old friend and saviour of my planet with the boy who now has become a man, stepped aside letting young Anakin Skywalker step forward and take his place beside his Jedi master.





I saw a slight blush cover his cheeks, but what captivated me the most was when seeing the old bright blink in the eyes of this young padawan, making me go backwards ten years when I only was fourteen and he only nine.





That time seemed now like another lifetime, how young I had been and what a great responsibility I had had on my slender shoulders. I doze of into memories of my days as a queen, but was soon brought back when hearing a gentle and soft voice speaking to me.





"So have you, more beautiful, I mean…-"





I was slightly taking back by his remark so I just smiled, knowing that it would be unseemly to say thank you infront of Sio Bibble, master Kenobi and the senators from Illianass that surrounded me. The young padawan saw the confusion in my eyes, as his blush grew deeper.





"…. Shorter for a senator, I mean".





His voice had turned to a more unsecured tone, though he quickly noticed the disapproving glimpse from master Kenobi and the amuse faces on the senators and Sio Bibble. I was soon reminded of the little Anakin as I saw the padawan infront of me bit his lip of regret.





"Oh, Ani, you'll always be that little boy from Tatooine!" I laughed, referring it as a compliment. But seeing the young padawan bend his head I understood that he had understood it differently.





"Milady", Obi Wan Kenobi coughed, steeping forward.





What Obi Wan said I understood very well, my life was in danger and his and this young padawan's skills would be my security during this time. Once again I put my mask on and gone was now the even slightest hint of my true self which this young man had brought by his mere presence.
