" I think we should wait a while, before we tell the Council." Anakin replyed wanting to get out of the subject.

" Alright Ani, but if we get caught I'm gunna..."

Padme was interrupted by Anakin trying to keep his pride, " Your gunna what? Give me the 'You better watch it face'?"

Padme cut right back in, " I'll grab that lightsabre' of yours and whack you over the head!"

Padme shot a glance at Anakin and jumped off the bed with Anakin chasing right behind her. The chasing went on for about a minute when finally Anakin tackled her and tickled her until she was screaming for mercy. Just then Obi-Wan walked in slamming the door behind him. Anakin didn't notice but Padme looked at him and froze. Anakin stared down at Padme, when he finally got a clue he looked over to see Obi-Wan staring at him with a look that could only mean one thing. What is going on here.

Obi-Wan cleared his throat and finally gathered the words he needed to say, " What is going on in here, I felt a major change in the Force."

"Uh...Um..We...Uh" was all Padme could get out and turned to Anakin hoping he could explain better.

Anakin barely found the power to talk, he desperatly wanted Obi-Wans approval but knew he would never get it. " What she meant to say was..."

"Well.. what is it?" Obi-wan cut in.

" Obi-Wan, we're married."

Obi-wans face dropped in shock, he was prepared for anything but this. "Your What!" Padme stood up and straightened her nightgown, " We're married"

Obi-wan glared at the couple and finally broke the akward silence they all knew was coming. " Anakin may I speak with you in private please?"

Anakin turned to Padme gave her a wink and walked out of the room in the honorable step behind the Master.

*********

Sabe' walked in and looked at Padme, wondering why two Jedi were in her room this early. " So.. What was that all about?"

Padme turned around trying not to show her happiness and desperatly wanting to avoid the question. " What are you talking about?"

" Oh come on Padme I just saw Anakin leave your room and he couldn't look much happier."

Padme turned back towards her loyal friend and handmaiden, " Ok.." Padme started " Me and Anakin are married... But you have to promise not to tell any one.. Ok?"

Sabe looked at her friend in shock, this was not what she had planned to here, but it was her best friend and if she was happy, Sabe was all for it. "Do you want me to decoy for you today? You probably want to spend the day with Anakin so I can go to the Senate Meeting today for you."

Padme was glad her friend offered to decoy, she hated having to ask someone to do her job. " That would be great Sabe, Thanks so much."

Sabe smiled at her friends delight, " No problem, But I want to here all the details later."

Padme turned back around towards the bed at her friends comment, " Ok.. But not without a fight!" Padme screamed while picking up a pillow from her bed and hitting Sabe right in the face. Soon the whole room was filled with feathers, and the screams and laughs of joy.

***********

Anakin followed Obi-wan outside the Senator quarters and into a long hallway. Obi-Wan twisted around and stared at his Padawan with disbelief still lurking in his gray eyes. Anakin knew that he wouldn't get his Masters approval, but he had to try. "Say something, Master."

Obi-wan looked harshly at his Padawan after the comment, he knew better than to blurt out impaitently, " Alright Anakin, What were you thinking?" Obi-wan hissed back at him, " Do you know what the consequences are for doing this, you ill be kicked out of the order, do you understand that Anakin?"

Anakin frowed at the harsh dissaproval of his Master, " I know the order Master, and if I have to I will leave the Jedi."

Obi-wan gave his Padawan a look that frightened him, " Well Anakin, it looks like you have this all worked out, I wish you the best of luck, but expect a meeting with the Council. I will not be there to assist you either, Pada.. I mean Anakin, I will be leaving for Geonosis again, and I will be gone for the better part of a year. I will expect to here from you tho."

" Yes Master" was all Anakin could say. His best friend, his mentor, the man that was like a father to him did not trust his judgement. He and Obi- wan would never have the same friendship again, Anakin betrayed him.



*************

Padme and Sabe were still on the bed fighting with feathers flying everywhere when Anakin walked in. He sensed happiness comin from the room before he walked in, but a feather filled room and two screaming women was not at all what he expected. Padme looked away to see Anakin walk in and he gave her his sexiest grin, that made her totally ignore the world around her. // How can anyone have that Hot of a smile! // She also forgot that he could here her, and he tryed to tell her what was coming but before he could say anything Padme got hit right across the chest and went falling butt first to the bed.

She looked up at Sabe to speak but she was interrupted by Anakin trying to say 'I tryed to tell you' while busting out laughing. Padme just gave him an evil glare and looked back at Sabe. Sabe stared down at Padme like she almost killed her," I finally got you!"

Padme looked at her best friend and then turned her face down toward the bed that was covered with pillowfuls of feathers, "Oh, shut up Sabe!" She knew she sounded stupid but she couldnt think of anything smart to say, with Anakin standing right next to the bed.

When she finally figured out what to do she grabbed her pillow and hit Sabe in the back of knees with all her strength. Sabe fell to her hands and knees next to Padme.

Padme laughed back," You better learn to keep your eyes open Sabe, you never know when..." she was cut of by Sabe jumping on her and them falling to the floor and rolling onto Anakin's feet.

Anakin looked at Padme and Sabe like they were little girls fighting over who will get to be the princess, " Well what do ya know, there's a war going on through here to."

At the sound of Anakin's voice Padme froze, remembering that her and Sabe were not the only ones in the room. "Well she started it!" Sabe said standing up.

Padme looked at her with an evil glance, she knew she did start it but didn't want to admit it. " I did not you liar!"

Sabe just looked back and started plucking feathers off her dress, " Ya ok, I'll be leaving, I have a meeting to attend." Sabe walked out of the room, winking at Padme as she walked out.

Anakin saw the wink and turned back to Padme, " What? I thought you HAD to go to the meeting today?"

Padme turned and walked to the 'fresher to get the feathers out of her hair, " Oh, I have to go to a meeting today, but it's not with the Senate." Padme winked hoping he would catch on.

Anakin followed her and wrapped his arms around her, " Well, Mrs. Skywalker, what do you say a day on the town, I've been dieing to see it."

Padme leaned back against him and put her head in the crook of his neck. " Well why don't you tell me, your the supposed 'Chosen One' with the mind reading powers." Padme turned to around to face him and pulled his braid till their lips met. Anakin pulled away lips still almost touching, " I take that as a yes?!"

**************



After a while Anakin finally let her go to get ready. It took her about an hour and all her patience to get the feathers out of her hair, and by the time she picked out a dress she was sure it was already noon. Padme slowly walked out of her dressing room and down the hall to the sitting room where she told Anakin to wait for her. To her suprise he actully listened, and he was there, but he was asleep. At that sight Padme stood and stared seeing if he could sense her presence through the Force, without success she went closer and loudly cleared her throat making Anakin jump up and grab hold of his lightsabre'.

" Are you always this jumpy?" She questioned him.

Anakin put back his lightsabre' and walked closer, " Are you always this beautiful?" Padme stood their quite and embarrased at his question, but answered it with a simple smile. Anakin was completely mezmorized by her beauty, she always seemed to glow. It didn't matter whether he saw her in her worst of times or in the best, she was an angel. His angel. He stepped back to get an overly view of what she was wearing. She was dressed in a simple light Jade colored dress that clung to her ever curve perfectly. Her hair was flowing with radiant curls that bounced with her movement. He loved her this way. The way she looked when she wasn't Senator, the way she could be so beautful by just being simple, today she was Padme' Naberrie, not Senator Amidala.

Once Anakin had come out of his mezmorizing he noticed the charm that she wore around her neck. The Jappor Snippet he gave her so many years ago. // You still have that old thing// He sent to her throught the Force as they made their way out of their quarters. She turned to look at him as if she were going to speak out loud but continued throught their bond. // Of course I did, anything that would remind me of the little boy who swept me off my feet.// Anakin just smiled at her comment as they kept walking through the Palace.

As they slowly walked through the town Anakin held Padme close to his side. He knew that at any moment the Council could contact them and have them seperated. He was thankful that no one recognized them as they walked through the town, for if they were recognized it would definitly be reported. Anakin wondered how Padme was able to live her life like she did, having her ever move, every action, every mistake brought out to the public. He wondered how she could keep her life in control with the whole planet of Naboo know everything about her. He knew that if the public knew of his every action they would probably sentence him to a life of banishment.

When they reached the end of the town, they turned to go towards the waterfalls that were over in the meadows by the cliffs. They had been there once before but Anakin knew he had to make this time more special. He wanted to value their time together before the Council, and not to mention the rest of the Galaxy found out about their marriage. When they arrived at the meadow they layed in each others arm surronded by the sound of the slight breeze and the distant waves crashing on to the cliff below them. They layed in each other presence drowned in a comfortable silence waiting for the stars to slowly appear in the mysterious sky. When the warm sun finally set over the horizon, darkness claimed the land and the stars finally joined them in their everlasting love and joy. They layed for hours breaking the silence only to whisper, ' I Love You's' and to kiss every so often.

By Midnight Padme had her head on Anakin's chest and his arms were wrapped protevtively around her. Padme layed in the comfort of her husband's arms staring up at the dark sky that was filled with so many bright diamonds. She listened to the rhythm of his heart and the sound of his breathing, she thought to herself, life couldn't get much better than this. She never wanted this night to end, but yet she knew that tommorow would come and with it her's and her husband's duties and soon the Council would find them, and try to keep them apart. She knew that all these things would come very soon but at that moment, while lying in her sweet Ani's arms she could seem to bring herself to care, nothing mattered at that very moment. Nothing could bring her to care about anything else, other than their love at that time........That is until a sudden beeping sound came from Anakin's Comm, The Council has found out.
