Chapter 2

~*Travel*~

Anakin paced restlessly. He hated traveling on a transport, and especially if he was not allowed in the cockpit. His hands ached to be at the control of something. A soft laughter behind him pulled him out of his thoughts.

He looked over his shoulder at the beautiful Senator. She stood in the doorway, dressed in a dark blue full gown of a Senator. Her brown hair was pulled up into a severe basket-like headdress. The under gown was low-cut, which cause Anakin to stare a little to long.

"You want to be the pilot, don't you?" She asked softly. He nodded. "Could you help me with this?" She held out a gold neckband.

Anakin took it from her and slipped it around her neck and clasped it. "Where did you get this clunky thing?"

"Watch what you say, Ani. I received that as a gift from the Naboo Council. It shows what planet I represent."

Anakin stepped back and looked her over. "Aren't you a little overdressed?"

She laughed and walked past him, her dress shifting slightly, making soft sighs. "First impressions are always important. If I was to talk before the Senate, this is what I'd wear." She rested her arms on the edge of the viewport. "I'd rather be talking to the Senate than going through this."

A flutter ran through Anakin's stomach. "So you don't want to be getting married?"

"I never said that. I must do my duty, no matter what it calls me to do."
