Cyu was talking to one of the Jedi masters until he was rudely tapped
on the shoulder. He turned around to find Anakin staring at him with a
angry look on hi s face.
"Can I help you?" Cyu asked.
"Yes you can help me answer a few of my questions." Anakin snapped.
"I think I will be going." The Jedi master broke in as he smiled at Cyu and walked away leaving the two boys alone.
Anakin looked at Cyu with a burning anger in his heart, he knew this creep had made Padme cry and he was going to teach this boy a lesson. Cyu on the other hand looked at Anakin and didn't feel threatened.
"Well what are your questions, you are wasting my time just standing there scowling at me."
"First off, Cyu, did you talk to Padme today?" Anakin asked.
"Yes I bumped into her in the hallway and talked a bit."
"How do you know Padme?"
"Simple we…"
"ANAKIN!" Padme screamed down the hallway as she ran up to them.
"Ah Padme." Cyu replied looking at her. She latched onto Anakin's arm for protection as Cyu tried not to look hurt by her actions.
"I'll ask you again, how do you know Padme?"
"Well I was going to tell you before I was interrupted. Now that Padme is here why doesn't she tell you? I am surprised you didn't ask her."
"Padme?" Anakin asked looking down at her. Padme's stare lowered to the floor. Her brown eyes knew the truth but her heart couldn't stand the truth.
"Cyu and I…" Padme started as her eyes watered. Anakin took her chin and made Padme look at him in the face.
"You can tell me." Anakin told Padme still holding her chin. Padme took her chin from his hand and began to tell the painful truth once more.
"Cyu and I were at one time…in love." Padme whispered. Anakin stepped back from Padme in disbelief. His face was blank with confusion as his heart broke into a thousand pieces.
"We are still in love Padme, you never said goodbye." Cyu reminded her.
"That's not true! When you disappeared you died and left my heart." Padme cried, her eyes overflowing with tears.
"Padme I said I would return for you and here I am. Why you chose to amuse yourself with him I have no idea but I know you love me because you told me so. I said I would keep my promises to you and I am, I haven't broken one to you." Cyu replied.
"You left me for three years, and that is when I found Anakin again. Anakin never left my heart and you did." Padme told Cyu reaching for Anakin again but Anakin had backed away to far.
"If I never left your heart, you wouldn't have loved him!" Anakin yelled at Padme as Padme shrank away her tears becoming more frequent. "And you!" Anakin yelled at Cyu. "You hurt her! I was right you hurt her!"
"How do you know I hurt her?" Cyu asked.
"Look at her crying, you don't even care that she is crying." Anakin pointed out as he took his light Saber out of his belt and clicked it on.
"Anakin stop it." Padme commanded but Anakin didn't listen, he kept stepping closer to Cyu.
"This is not a very Jedi-like way to solve this Anakin, I know your jelious but you have to let it go. She loves me." Cyu said smiling.
"Speak for yourself!" Padme snapped.
Anakin only kept walking towards Cyu as he kept backing up down the hall. They continued this waltz until Anakin finally stopped.
"What's the matter Anakin? Not going to chop me up and solve everything?" Cyu joked as Anakin swung his light saber at him. Cyu ducked so that Anakin only hit the air.
"ANAKIN!" Padme screamed. Anakin wasn't listening to Padme anymore, his anger had taken hold of him and all he could think about was killing Cyu. Cyu's adrenaline was running high so that he lashed out and Anakin and grabbed him by his neck and started to squeeze. Padme watched helplessly as Anakin began to choke until he could get his arm with the light saber up. He slashed Cyu across the face and Cyu dropped Anakin and backed up holding his face. Anakin was about to chase him down but noticed Windu coming down the hallway in the other direction. He turned and left Padme and Cyu standing in disbelief in the hallway.
"What happened here?" Windu asked touching Padme's shoulder softly.
"Nothing, we just had a fight that is all." Padme replied wiping her tears away quickly. Cyu slinked away from them with out Windu noticing his gash but now had a reason to hurt the young Skywalker.

Anakin stormed to his speeder and jumped into the cockpit and started the speeder up. He had no idea where he was going but he knew he was not going to go back into that room with Padme and have to look into her brown eyes with defeat knowing her red lips had touched those of the pasty creep. Padme rushed out nearly tripping on her dress looking for Anakin. She had run after him down the hallway knowing he'd try to get away and go to some place where he could think.
"Anakin!" She called running over to the passanger side of the speeder. Anakin didn't look at Padme but didn't move the speeder away from her.
"What." He snapped still not looking at her.
"Anakin you didn't even listen to me. Will you let me explain?" Padme asked opening the speeder door and stepped in.
"What else is there to explain? You loved the guy." Anakin concluded.
"Anakin how could you be so foolish. I never loved Cyu; I told you I was lonely and stupid. I thought I would never find you again and Cyu was my only source of compassion that I needed." Padme explained as Anakin turned his face to look at her.
"So what was it then?"
"I'm not quite sure, but it wasn't true love. He disappeared after a fight with a bounty hunter and no one ever heard from him until now."
"And you were worried."
"Well a little, but only because I am good natured like that. Plus he reminded me of you a lot. That is another reason why I chose to accept his affection. Oh Ani, you have to believe me that I love you. Nothing could ever come between us, that creep Cyu is not part of my affection anymore and never will be." Padme pleaded as she touched Anakin's cheek softly. Anakin leaned in and kissed padme softly cherishing her soft lips but then the thought of Cyu's cracked lips touching her delicate, soft ones flashed through his mind and he pulled back with a jolt.
"I'm sorry Padme, it's going to take time for me to get over the shock." Anakin replied leaving out the jealousy part.
"You're jealous too, and it's normal to feel that way Ani." Padme said soothingly.
"You better go back to the room, it's getting late." Anakin advised.
"What about you?" Padme asked opening the speeder door.
"I need some time to myself." Anakin told her as she closed the speeder door and watched him speed off into the dark sky. Padme let out a sigh as her breath became mists in the cold air around her.

"Excellent, so you have Anakin questioning Padme's love now?" the emperor asked looking up from his black cloak that covered his ghostly white skin his yellow eyes watching the young Jedi standing in front of him.
"Yes I do master, Anakin is cracking slowly. The anger is taking hold of him because he lashed out at me and gave me this scar." Cyu replied
"So what is your plan now, Cyu?" the emperor asked.
"I will get Anakin's position in protecting Padme"
"Good plan. I like it."
"Thank you sir, I couldn't have done it with out your taining." Cyu smiled.
"Can I help you?" Cyu asked.
"Yes you can help me answer a few of my questions." Anakin snapped.
"I think I will be going." The Jedi master broke in as he smiled at Cyu and walked away leaving the two boys alone.
