Anakin Skywalker calmly walked with Senator Bail Organa. He tried to focus on what this politician was discussing with him, but his mind and attention kept drifting over to the hidden figure, cloaked behind a tall pillar in the Jedi Temple. Anakin quietly excused himself, waited until the Senator was gone, then hurriedly rushed to the pillar, meeting Padme's embrace.
"Oh Ani..." she whispered in his ear. She smothered his cheek with kisses, inhaling his familiar scent, letting it swirl throughout her body. She looked deeply into his eyes. "I was so worried about you...I hadn't heard anything and...you know Obi-Wan...he never lets me come with--" Anakin gently placed his hand over Padme's mouth, halting all words that were flowing from her excited soul.
"There's no need to worry. I've apparently made it back in one piece," Anakin said, laughing at his wife's vexed face. He drew her into his arms again, and kissed her passionately, not caring that they were openly professing their love in a public place. Padme pulled away from his arms, a mischievous smirk on her face. She reached down into the length of robes, and revealed a light saber. Padme swung it teasingly in front of Anakin's face.
"Care to join me for a little practice in the training theater...alone?" she asked, soaking in his bright eyes that she had dearly missed while he was gone. Anakin pulled out his Jedi weapon and ran its length down Padme's arm.
"Of course, milady," he said, returning her secretive smile.Then the two left, walking together into the Jedi Temple, two forbidden lovers, both Jedi Padawans training under the same Master. But as they walked, Coruscant's sun was hidden by a dark cloud, and the sunlight no longer reached the long steps of the Jedi Temple. The couple continued to walk in the darkness, unaware of the cloud's foreshadowed warning...
It was a memorable day on Tatooine, that Queen Amidala's skills were discovered. It surprised Master Qui Gon Jinn that this young Politician and charming young lady could be so strong with the force, yet he had never noticed it before. While on assignment to protect the Queen, Qui Gon didn't realize that Padme was disguising herself as a handmaiden, to avoidany complications on the remote planet. He approached Padme about what he had observed, and asked that he find out her Midi-Chlorian count. He found the numbers staggeringly high and soon asked if she would wish to become his Padawan learner. Padme explained her political situation to him, and after many hours in front of the Jedi Council, she was secretly ushered into the life of the Jedi.
And it was also on the same day, that Padme met the love of her life, Anakin Skywalker.This young pod racer, formerly a slave,immediately was recognized by Master Kenobi, this young boyuniquely strong with the force. The Jedi Council later determined him as the 'chosen one', the one Jedi who would be able to bring balance to the force, destroying the Sith, and uniting the galaxy. Immediately, Anakin Skywalker joined his new friend Padme, amongst the other Padawans.
These two souls, so alike in character and strength, grew up side by side, under their Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi. But love grows silently within all willing souls, and unbeknownst to the Jedi order, Padme and Anakin fell in love. Both understood the Jedi Code,fully understanding thatattachment was "forbidden". However, the bonds of love had a hold on the two of them, and they made a vow to each other that they would never preach their love, keeping it a prohibited secret within the depths of their hearts.
But they were living in dark times, and the ever imminent threat of the Sith Lord cloaked the galaxy with a haze of evil. And unknown to the Jedi Order, was that the very Sith Lord they were searching for, was someone of close relation, perhaps closer to some than others...
