Yoda was meditating in the Jedi temple. Master Windu walked in and Yoda opened his eyes.
"Love, I feel. Passion." Yoda said in his mystical voice.
"Whose love?" Master Windu asked suspiciously
"The love of a Jedi."
"Which Jedi?' Windu asked.
"I know not. This love, it is returned by Senator Amidala."
"We will have an emergency council meeting at once."
Early the next morning, Anakin and Padme had just woken up when there was a knock at the door of their small apartment. Anakin quickly hid as Padme went to answer the door. She quickly rushed to answer it although she was wearing only a thin nightgown. She opened the door to find Obi-Wan there.
"Anakin! Come out, its Obi Wan." She called to her husband. After a night's rest Anakin's emotions had calmed, although he was still wary. They all sat down on the couch, all aware of what was coming next. Anakin paused, glancing at Padme.
"I think you should go get dressed." He said to her, nodding in Obi Wan's direction.
"you should too," she replied, eying him standing there without a shirt. They returned to their room to dress. Anakin turned to his dresser to get his Jedi robes. Padme dressed in a deep green, low cut dress. Anakin, finished dressing, turned to her. He glanced seductively at her. Slowly he stepped forward.
"Do you want me to zip it for you?" Anakin said in a husky voice. She turned to allow him to zip it. As he zipped it, his lips met her neck.
"Anakin, don't. Not know, Obi-wan is waiting." Padme said, reluctant but practical.
"Obi-Wan can wait a little longer. I can't." Anakin said seductively.
"Anakin!" Padme said sharply. He sighed reluctantly , but gave in.
They returned to the living room. Obi Wan turned to them, but before he could say anything there was a knock on the door. It opened to reveal a droid.
"There is to be an emergency council meeting at once." It said in its mechanical voice. "Master Kenobi and Master Skywalker are requested."
"We will be their momentarily." Obi Wan responded. The droid withdrew.
"We will continue this meeting another time." Obi Wan said decisively. Anakin stood up to leave, but the door opened again. Another droid entered.
"There is to be an emergency Jedi council meeting at once." Anakin was about to tell it that they knew, but it continued saying "Senator Amidala is requested." It also withdrew. Anakin turned to Obi Wan furiously "You told didn't you!" His shoulders tensed and the large muscles in his arms flexed. His breathe came in ragged gasps, worried about what was to come.
"I did not tell the council anything. Your love is very strong. I am not surprised that they sensed it." Obi Wan said. Inside he was worried too. What if they kicked Anakin off the Jedi order? Anakin was like his brother. They needed him. He was the chosen one. Obi Wan turned to them. "I will tell them that Anakin will be there soon." Obi Wan departed.
Anakin and Padme turned to each other. Padme was close to tears. Anakin held her. Was this what their lives had become, their happiness destroyed by a message? She thought. Will Padme be kicked of the Senate? Will I be kicked off the Council? Will I be kicked from the Jedi order itself? Anakin held her closer, taking comfort in the heat of her body against his.
Slowly Padme pulled away.
"I need to change. You go on to the council room." Anakin was about to protest, but he realized it wouldn't be good for them to enter together. He nodded, kissed her, and headed to the council room.
