Chapter 10: Flashbacks

A/N: Leia's last name in this is also Solo, Luke's and Han's sister. Sorry for another short chapter, but I hope you like it.

"So, Padmè, are you going to be at my multi-ball game in an hour?" asked Anakin.

"I was just about to leave," answered Padmè.

"Cool. Me too. See you there. I love you," Anakin said.

"Same here," replied Padmè.

Anakin hung up his comlink. He knew he was going to be there early, but it didn't matter. It wasn't going to be too early. He went to the speeder hangar of the Academy, and got on his sleek silver speeder. He fired it up as the engine roared, and took off to the place where they were going to have the big multi-ball game.

He finally got there to see only Lando and Bail. He waited a minute or so, and Padmè was there. They sat together to wait for the others, Anakin's arm around Padmè.

"So who do you think will win?" asked Anakin.

"Most likely your team. Your team has you, Bail, Kitster, Wedge, and a lot of other good players. Your team will only lose if you and the other players are off today, or if they get really lucky," replied Padmè.

"OK. I do think the same thing," said Anakin.

Padmè leaned her head on Anakin's shoulder. She was so happy she had him as a boyfriend. He was the one boy she had ever loved this much. Come to think of it, he was the only boy she had ever loved. She thought back to the first day she found out that he liked her. Well, sort of found out, but wasn't completely sure.

Flashback: Leia walked into the dorm during the trip to the secret preserve on Naboo. She was talking with Mara, and Padmè heard Leia say something about Anakin.

"I asked Anakin if he liked Padmè because I heard Hermione say that she heard him say so."

Padmè jumped at that, and quickly asked, "What was his answer?"

"Well, he said no, but his eyes were a little dodgy, so I think that he does," Leia said.

Anakin smiled as he felt Padmè's head on his shoulder. He moved his hand to her back and rubbed it for a while before moving it back to her shoulder. He was so happy to have her as his girlfriend. She was the one, and he knew it. She was beautiful and kind. Those were the two most important factors in his relationship, and she ranked eleven on a scale of one to ten in both. He remembered the first day he found out she liked him, but he didn't completely believe it at the time.

Flashback:

Anakin was playing multi-ball again, although the game wasn't nearly as close as the one before, when Owen Lars came running down to the field. He raced to Anakin and started saying something.

"Padmè wants to meet you in the dorm. Not that she likes you though," he said.

'I know she doesn't, sadly,' he thought.

Anakin started slowly walking up the hill, when he ran into Lexi and Toryn Farr.

"Did you know she likes you, too," Lexi said.

"I don't like her, and she doesn't like me either. I can tell that," he said.

"She does like you. I promise you she does. She really does," Toryn said.

"Every girl in the school, practically, likes you. It's just she's the luckiest one, since you like her, too," Lexi said.

"Just think about it. Please," Toryn said.

He was snapped into the present when Bail called to him for the game, because everyone was there.

"I'll be cheering you on," said Padmè.

"And I'll be playing only to hear you cheer," said Anakin.

Anakin kissed her on the cheek, and got up, and went to the field.
