Padme smoothed out her gown before beginning to fix her hair. It had been ages since she had last gone to a ball, but she had great plans for tonight. As she pushed the last pin in to her hair Padme sighed, she couldn't get him off her mind. Padme closed her eyes as she remembered the kisses they shared, the warm touch of his lips.

*Oh, Ani, I hope I can help you, I really do. We're ment to be together, can't you see it? can't you feel it?*

A tear ran down her cheek causing her make up to run.

*ANI* her mind screamed in agony, *Please, let me save you from yourself, let me help. Can't you see it? can't you feel it? your changing! your different*

she reached over to her uniform and unhooked her lightsabre from her belt, sighing she bowed her head,

Anakin ran his comb through his cropped hair, he could feel Padmes pain through the bond he tried to ignore. He tried to build up the courage to tell the council and his master what his visions had turned to, it felt as if the visions were fighting over the future he was to have. The one he wanted most was the one with his angel, with padme, but he wasn't willing to take the risk.

*Angel, I wish it was simple, I with our love was simple. Then we could be together, then we would both be safe, but I'm changing, I'm different, I can feel it. Thinking about you, I'm still your Ani, but other than that, I can feel it coming through, swimmimg in my blood! save me! please*

Anakin fought the tears that threatened to fall.

*Please, save me*

(At the ball)

Anakin watched as Padme entered the large ballroom, he struggled to breath. She was beautiful, exacally like an angel. She stopped and talked with a few senators, he remebered them as the 'Senator of Naboo' the 'Senator of Alderran' and 'Senator of...*no, wait!* 'Supreme Chancellor Palpatine'

He skulled his class of wine and placed it on the table as the chancellor headed his way with the other senators. "Ah, Anakin, its great to see you. You are enjoying yourself I pressume?" The chancellor asked.

"Yes, I am"

"I'm sorry to hear about your friend Anakin, it's a great Tragedy" Anakins knuckles clenched. *Why does everybody have to bring that up!* "Thankyou Chancellor Palpatine, I'm greatful for your sympathy, but my friend is now one with the force, he is not truly gone"

"Ah, yes, of course" The Chancellor and the other senators left to talk with someone else as Padme came over.

She had watched him from a far and decided to take action. "Hello Anakin, would you like to dance?" She gave him a soft smile that melted his bones.

"Padme, you know that..." he began, but she ignored his statement.

"I'm sure you'd like to dance. its not everyday that Jedi Padawans like us get to attend senatorial ball, so lets just make the most of it" She took his hand and led him onto the dance floor where others were dancing. Anakin didn't bother to resist, he couldn't.

**(So the night went on, the pair danced as Anakin tried to stay as far away from her as possible. For two hours the couple danced, drank wine, and talked softly, avoiding the subject of them)**

They stopped outside her suite, Padme opened the door and took his hand. "Come in for a second Ani" Anakin shook his head,

"I've got to..." She grabbed his hand and practically dragged him in and signaled over to the couch. "Take a seat" He did, automatically. "Ani, we have to talk" Padme looked at him for a response, none. She sat next to him. "Ani, I know things have been hard for you lately, but please don't shut me out" her finger tips touched his cheek gently. "I want to help you, don't you remember how much you love me..." Padme paused "Or at least how much I thought you loved me, I can feel it Ani, I see the way you look at me, You've changed!"

Anakin looked down then at her. "Ani, you changed, since Tove died, you've become more unrecongnisable! I know it hurts you, but please..." she trailed off when she saw the tears in his eyes. Wrapping her arms around him, Padme began to kiss his lips. Anakin gently pulled away to look into her eyes before he lent forwards and kissed her back. Pulling her up, he led her towards her bed.

Note: YAY! okay, the romance has begun, but what will the results be when they wake up!!! haha, a longer chapter finally! hope ya like it, and tell me what you think!
