~Three weeks earlier~

The Palace morning was filled with happiness and joy, including the Queen, Padme' Amidala. It has been 10 years since the Trade Federation Attack, but now the people of Naboo rejoice of Queen Amidala's wedding ceremony. She was marrying Prince Galadil from Planet Sanctra. They had met three years earlier, and had fallen for each other. They had a lot in common, counting the same compassion for their people's welfare.

Padme` dressed in a white gown, with lace trimming, and white rose designs sown on. She wore her hair in a low ponytail and scrunching it inside a small hair net, which had pearls embedded into it.

Her handmaidens wore pale white robes, with sparkles entrenched in it. Sabe', her bodyguard and loyal companion, set the veil upon her majesty's head; the veil was a pale white but not as bright as her dress, but it was still a beautiful color.

"Open the doors," ordered Queen Amidala. Two handmaidens walked swiftly to the two, large, blue doors and opened them, and then quickly went back to their places, behind the Queen. The Queen raised her dress a few inches off the ground, enabling her self to walk properly, and with her handmaidens holding her veil up, to keep from dragging. They made their way through the long, silent, corridors to the room at the end of the hall, where the ceremony took place.

The two handmaidens, once again, opened another set of doors, revealing the awaiting people of Naboo. Her handmaidens came out first when the chorus began to sing; they went to their assigned seats, except for Sabe', she was known as the maid of honor for the wedding, so she took her place up near Prince Crevin and the priest.

Then Amidala came out; she looked radiant, which made Galadil's jaw almost drop, but his eyes still bulged. She didn't wear any of her formal make-up as usual; she just had her angelic, beautiful, features, and her almond- shaped, brown eyes, which shimmered from the reflections of the sunshine coming through the windowpanes from above. She made her way up to her darling Prince, her first love. She smiled, with him smiling back; they then faced the priest.

"Now let the ceremony begin," he opened his book and began to read.

~A half an hour later~

"Crevin Galadil, do you take Queen Amidala, as your wife, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?"

Crevin looked at Padme', she noticed his stare, and gazed back at him with a smile, making her face glow as bright as the morning sun on a summer day.

"I do." He took a ring out of his pocket and slipped it on her finger; the ring was pure gold, with a diamond on top.

"Padme` Amidala?"

Padme` looked back at the priest, "Do you take Prince Galadil as your husband, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?"

But before she could answer an explosion erupted! One side of the wall collapsed, and sadly, killed some of the people in the process. Another explosion came upon them, throwing the handmaidens and Amidala to the ground.

"Padme`!" but she didn't hear her finance's cry; there was too much screaming, and the explosions rang in her ears.

Then, over the fallen walls, Droids came out, killing anybody in their way.

"Queen Amidala!" Padme` looked up and saw Captain Typhoo lending a hand. She took it and arose, removing the veil from her face in order to see.

"Where are my handmaidens!" she asked, trying to yell over the noise.

"They're safe your majesty!"

But then she realized something; she couldn't see Crevin anywhere.

"Where's Crevin!"

"I don't know!"

"Padme`!" that time she heard that yell, she turned her head slightly glancing, it was Crevin.

"Crevin!" she ran and hugged him tightly.

"I thought I'd never see you again," she said, burying her face into his shirt.

"Shh, it's all right; I'm here. It's going to be ok." But he looked up and saw two Droids nearing their range to fire at the Queen, his love. He saw them load their guns and readied themselves, they were about to fire. Crevin at the last moment swung Padme` to the other side, taking to the two blows.

Padme` felt the jolt, and gasped; she could hear his heartbeat slowing, and his gasps for air.

"Back to the ships." Said one robot.

"Roger, Roger." Said the other. The Droids fled out the hole they created, leaving their mess.

Padme` looked up at Crevin, his lips had blood streaming down, "Crevin!"

Captain Typhoo stood in shock with the other guards as well; Sabe' then ran in, "What happened?"

But no one had to answer her, she looked at Padme' holding Crevin.

"Crevin?" she looked at her dress and saw a dark bloodstain, but the blood wasn't hers, it was his. She looked at his shirt and sat the blood seeping out of his two-blaster shots; one hit a lung, and the other hit near the heart.

He started to fall, so she lowered down with him freeing her hands from him.

"I c . couldn't . let you . die Padme`." He said his voice was very weak from the shots, so he could only speak vividly.

"I didn't w . want you t . to die."

"Shh," she said softly trying to really calm herself; tears ran down her cheeks and onto Crevin's clothes.

"I know I . never t-told you t . this b-before but . but I love you." That only made Padme` cry harder.

He took his hand, wiped a falling tear away and caressed her cheek; she pressed her hand against his, knowing that would be the last time she would feel his warm touch again.

"Stay strong Padme'," he said, his voice becoming scratchy.

"I can't go on without you."

"And re . remember . I'll always . be with you ." his eyes closed, and his hand dropped; his soul left, the brightness faded away.

"No, Crevin please come back. Please come back." She shook him a little but was too weak proceed.

"Come back." She said faintly.

Sabe' ran to her majesty's, her friend's side, "Milady?"

Padme` looked up at her, she rose and embraced Sabe' tightly, crying harder. Sabe' padded her back trying to calm her hysterical friend down. She then let go and helped Padme' down the hall to her room.

She wept for six hours straight. She stopped and looked at her ring, she fingered the diamond, and a tear fell; she wiped it away, and got dressed in her informal dress, which a thin layered, light blue dress, and it had four buttons in the front, to be able to put on and take off. She crept out her room, and outside; she walked in the field and near the waterfall.

She sat next to water and watched the wind move the tall blades of grass, and the seeds of the flowers fly and soar into the sky awaiting their destiny.

'Destiny,' she thought coldly.

"The force controls destiny," she said aloud.

"You caused the death of my love didn't you? Didn't you!" she stood looking up, and around her.

"It's all your fault, my only light is shattered; I now lay in the darkness, letting it rip me apart. Is that what you want? You want me to be miserable, to have a broken heart? Why did you do such a thing to a believer of you?" she paused as if waiting for a sign of some sort.

"Answer me." She said coldly, clenching her teeth.

"Answer me!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. She ran out of breath and fell on her knees.

"I'll never love again, because of you," She said quietly but with rage in her heart. It caused her to weep again, she lay there on the ground crying and crying.

'I'll never love again.' She thought sadly.
