Chapter 2: A Day Out

(Day One)

(Padme's POV)

I sat there awkwardly; I wished I could have taken everything back.

"Anakin… I'm… Sorry…" That's probably not what he wanted to hear.

I quickly got the courage to hug him. For the first time in two years. I hugged him. I let everything else go as I was sitting there. No more problems, no more senators, no more broken hearts because I was away from him. I released him, but my hang still gripped his. I looked into his eyes and decided this was good time to tell him I wanted to take back everything.

"Anakin… I didn't mean that… All the things… My heart is with you… Forever."

"No Padme, your heart is also with your people, I can't just come in and take you away from something that really needs you."

"No Anakin! Don't say that! You need me don't you?"

There was a muffled response.

"What?"

"I said yes!"

"Then why are you pushing me away like this?"

"I'm sorry Padme… Do you still love me?"

"Forever." I answered and I saw him smile. I wrapped my arms around him and I knew I had found my answer. He still loved me, through everything…

Later that night, we lay on my bed, whispering words of love. I lay in his arms and it was my turn to listen. To stay there and be showered by the love I could never had for two years. I felt peace finally. Something that had never happened for the two years away from him. I closed my eyes and was about to drift to sleep in peace when…

"Padme?" My eyes snapped open and I sat up to look at Anakin.

"Yes?"

"I should get going, my master will be worried about where I have been" Anakin answered and I sighed sadly.

We both got up and walked towards the door, dreading the departure that was about to happen.

"I wish to see you tomorrow Ani."

"Then you will." Anakin answered and pressed his lips to mine. As the kiss got deeper, I knew he had to leave. I gently pulled back and got a questioning glance from Anakin.

"I will see you tomorrow." I said and Anakin nodded. He walked out of the doors with a small smile. I knew that tomorrow would be pay back time for me because of the broken kiss.

The next day, I found myself in front of the mirror again. I wore a light pink gown that went all the way to the ground. My hair was pulled back partly. I wore no make-up because I always had to wear make-up during 'Queen business', and finally on my day off I didn't want to wear make-up. Also because I hated it.

Quickly I looked at the clock. 1:30. Perfect, I had been so caught up in looking at myself in the mirror, that I hadn't noticed I was already late. I slipped on my shoes and ran out the door.

I was making my ways towards the main hall and the doors to the garden when…

"Padme!" Oh dear god, why now? Do you like to torture me? I didn't need this, not now… I didn't need to get stopped by my sister….

"Sola! What are you doing here?" I questioned with annoyance in my voice, but Sola didn't seem to notice.

"Well, mom and dad wanted to come and visit you, so I came along with them!" Sola explained and I decided I just needed to leave.

"Sorry Sola, can this wait? I have some other business to attend too." I lied and Sola smirked.

"Ok Padme. Go on to your lover, we can wait! BE CAREFUL!" Sola yelled, and I didn't bother to say anything back. I was already half way out the door.

"You're late milady" Anakin teased and I hit him on the arm playfully.

"You would too if you got caught by your sister." I explained and Anakin nodded.

"Are you ready to leave Ani?"

"Sure."

We quickly got up and started to walk, not saying anything to each other. I decided to break the tension. I grabbed his hand and squeezed it gently and I was relieved when he squeezed back.

A couple minutes later we were in the fields, lying in the grass, under the sun. Just being there with him was everything. It was one of those moments that you didn't want to speak because you thought you would ruin the perfect moments. We were glad that we didn't have anything else to do today. Finally, I decided to say something.

"I love you." I simply said, I longed to hear those words come to me from Anakin. I sat up and waited. He followed and hugged me from behind. I could feel his kisses on my shoulder and my neck.

"I love you too, Padme Amidala." I laughed and thought that this was a good time to ask him.

"Are we going to get married?" I knew he was dreading that question, but I had to ask it.

"Of course," Anakin thought for a moment, "If you want too."

"Of course I want too Anakin! What do you think?" Anakin laughed. I loved it when he laughed. It sounded so pure and genuine. Finally I thought it was time to tease him a little.

I got up, breaking free of his embrace, and started to run as fast as my legs could take me. I was far away from Anakin as I looked over my shoulder to see a puzzled look plastered on his face.

"Master Skywalker, girls running away from you already? I thought it would have at least taken a day for them to get fed up with you!" I teased and now I could see Anakin running after me.

"You're going to get it Queen Amidala!" I laughed harder and decided this was a good time to turn and jump into the water. So that's what I did.

With my gown on and everything I jumped quickly into the water. I swam out as far as I could reach, looking at shore for Anakin. There he stood, looking at the water confused.

"Padme!" Anakin whined, "You know I hate the water!"

"I didn't know Jedi's were afraid of things!"

I simply said nothing more and floated on my back, that's why I didn't hear the splash and Anakin coming up behind me. He picked me up and I knew what was going to happen. My gown was drenched and probably ruined, so I had no care in the world about what should happen next.

"Don't you dare Master Skywalker! Put my down NOW!" I giggled and Anakin shook his head no.

"No way Queen Amidala, your mine now!" Anakin teased and threw me into the water. As I resurfaced, I noticed Anakin was gone again. I looked around, calling his name.

"Anakin? Ani? Where are you?" I felt two arms come around me and tightly embrace me. I reached up and grasped his hand.

Gently we swayed back and forth, just wishing to stay like this forever. For the next ten minutes, we just stood there, swaying and telling each other nonsense. A little later, I decided to turn to face him, deciding to have some fun for a little while.

I smiled mischievously as I placed my hand under the water, as it came up, I cupped the water and splashed it into his face. Laughing harder then I thought I would, I fell into the water. As I resurfaced, Anakin was smiling teasingly, as he cupped some water and splashed me in the face. This was what started the water fight, as much fun as it was; it ended as we pulled ourselves out of the water.

We were lying on the beach, hugging each other to keep one another warm as the cool evening breeze swept over us. We just talking about what we had done for the two years we had been apart, when Obi-Wan called. Anakin excused himself and walked over towards a tree, to talk to his master. I could still hear every word they were saying, but I pretended not to notice.

"Anakin, where are you? Padme's parents are here and are requesting her presences." Obi-Wan explained and I sighed as I wrapped Anakin's Jedi robe around me to keep me warm.

"Padme wanted to go out for awhile, so I took her out. We will be there soon Master, I promise."

Then they had gone on about something, but I didn't listen to them anymore, I was looking up at the purple sky.

"Beautiful isn't it?" Anakin questioned and I nodded. I loved being out here in the open with Anakin and the beautiful sky. I turned to him and we started to walk back towards my palace.

"As soon as you're a senator, when will I get to see you?" Anakin questioned. He was still so childish and I loved that about him.

"We will see each other…. I don't really know, whenever we wish?"

"That would be nice."

"Yes Ani, that would" I answered as I rested my head on his shoulder. I felt his arm come around my waist and everything was perfect.

As we entered the palace, Obi-Wan greeted us with a glare. He saw that we were soaking wet.

"Quickly, go get changed and meet the rest of us outside at the gardens." Obi-Wan demanded and Anakin and I nodded. As he left, we burst out laughing. We didn't know why we were laughing, but it was fun anyways.

As soon as we got to my chambers, we stopped laughing.

"So I'll see you soon." I said and opened one door.

"Yea." Anakin answered and I nodded.

"I had a fun time today Ani."

"I did too."

"Let's do something tomorrow okay? This is the only time I have vacation."

"That would be fun." We leaned in and kissed each other once, before walking into our chambers, or in the direction of your room.

End of Chapter 2.
