Later that morning, the ship transport that would bring Anakin and Obi-Wan back to Corusant, docked a little after eight. Most of the morning Padme and Obi-Wan spent together in bed, holding each other and wrapping their arms as tight as they possibly could stand around their waists.

They talked a little and laughed as they slid out of bed and watched the new dawn wash over the never ending fields of golden light. This was their day, and even if they were parting, they knew after last night, nothing could keep them apart.

They dressed together, still a tad shy about seeing each other's naked form in the light of day. At first Obi-Wan asked if she would like to get dressed in the opposite room, but after staring deep into his eyes she smiled and said that until he was taken away from her, they wouldn't even spent one moment apart. With that he laughed and they slowly helped each other pull on their clothes.

Obi-Wan was zipping up the back of Padme's dress when she turned half way and gave a small smirk.

"Is it wrong of me not wanting to let you go?"

Obi-Wan smiled and leaned in closer and softly kissed the top of her shoulder blade. She giggled as he smiled through his kiss and pulled her closer from behind.

"Your going to the senate in less then two months, we'll be together faster then we're apart."

"True, but the thought of seeing you go..." She cut off and her eyes looked a tad sad as she turned towards him.

He locked eyes with her.

"We'll see each other...every night."

She raised an eyebrow.

"I don't understand?"

"In our dreams my love, just last night while I was holding you I dreamed of us."

Her eyes lit up as she held his hands tighter.

"Seeing each other in dreams, is it part of the force."

He chuckled

"No, it's just our love."

With that she smiled and blushed a little.

"What did you dream about?"

Obi-Wan wrapped his arms around her and brought her closer and slowly swung her body in a slight rocking motion back and forth.

"I dream many things, but the one thing that seemed the most clear was the one on Tatooine."

"You dreamed we were there?" She smiled.

"Yes, it was in the future, I saw us living on a farm in the middle of the desert, with small children playing outside."

"Sounds nice." She said, shutting her eyes and sighing against his shoulder.

"It was...and how I wish it were true."

"Maybe one day it will be."

He smiled knowing how much he loved her and kissed her earlobes.

"Make love to me..." she hissed in his ears, so young she was, but her body willing to be with his since they joined just hours ago.

They were meant to be together.

Obi-Wan felt her lips start to trace a thin line down his throat, licking in smooth strokes, past his Adam's apple, and down to his chest.

He groaned and squeezed her tighter, feeling her breasts, as they were flattened against his body.

Her nimble fingers were starting to work his belt off, when it struck him, standing there in the queen's chambers, how hard it really was going to be leaving her.

He loved her, and moments like this, it made life almost hard living without even a second without her.

He started to work on her top, laughing at the thought that they just got dressed minuets ago. Her hand was about to explore him more, when there was a knock on the door.

"My lady, are you up yet?"

They froze, eyes growing wide.

Panic filled them, and in a flash she shoved Obi-Wan to the side and ran to the door, opening it just a crack.

"Yes, I'll be at the docking bays to see the jedi off, I just need to freshen up."

"Would you need any help my lady?" a voice called out in the hallway.

"No thank you, I'll be out soon." And with that she closed the door and knelt down and started cracking up.

Obi-Wan joined her, both leaning against the door and teasing each other about who ran the fastest.

Then they knew...it was time.

Obi-Wan would have to join Anakin in a few minuets on the dock and take off to Corusant, to start his training.

And she would be left behind. It ached his heart, but he knew there wasn't any more time for each other, this was it...this was good-bye for now.

They looked at each other, a little sad, and a little winded.

Padme took his hand and rubbed it against her soft cheek, she smiled looking up at him, and then brought up her other hand and handed him something with a closed fist.

Obi-Wan looked at her, as she smiled.

He took it in his hand, and opened his palm to reveal what it was. Right away the cool feeling of metal rubbed against his finger tips.

It was a tiny clasp, something you took onto your belt, nothing fancy, but still pretty enough.

"I noticed out of all the jedi, you didn't have a clasp...you can take mine."

He smiled at her, looking at the small silver clasp, and then back at her beautiful full colored eyes.

"Let me..." She took the clasp, and with a single hook it was attached to his belt, finishing off his "jedi look" once in for all.

He smiled looking down at it.

"I'll never take it off my belt Padme, thank you."

She smiled.

"Now I need something to remember you by."

It was this time to raise an eyebrow, he was a jedi knight...he had nothing to offer her. Then it hit him...he was no longer a padawan.

With that he crossed the room, walking towards the side table and taking the scissors Padme kept close by whenever she was trying her hand at sewing. Padme watched him and with one single snip his padawan braid was off.

He held it in his hand with a smile, and then walked back handing it to her.

"I know it's not a belt clasp, but it's all I have to offer,"

She smiled taking it, a high ruling queen looked at this cut off braid as if it was the most amazing thing in the world. She ran it between her fingers and then laughed, tears in her eyes.

Obi-Wan felt shameful, he really didn't have anything to offer her, and maybe...maybe one day she would see it to.

But she loved him to much, and such silly things no longer mattered to her, she held part of her lover's life in her hand...his past, but something that was part of him, and she loved it.

"It's soft." She smiled, now crying.

He used his hands to wipe them away.

"Oh Padme, it's a stupid thing...don't cry."

"No, It's the best gift anyone could ever give me...I'll hold on to it forever, any time your not with me."

She then reached over and kissed him.

Minuets later, they pulled away from each other and snuck out.

Obi-Wan met Anakin on the landing platform, as their ship docked, and thanked everyone for their kindness.

"Good-bye Padme, I'll hope to see you again real soon." Anakin said with bright eyes looking up at her.

Padme was redressed in a long pink gown, her face still glowing in the early dawn light.

"I will hope so to Anakin, your going to make a fine Jedi."

Anakin smiled with her, and he then walked on the ship, waving one last time.

Obi-Wan smiled watching him, and then turned towards her, his heart ready to explode.

They locked eyes, so much to say...but now to late.

"Good-bye Obi-Wan."

"Good-bye my lady."

And with that he turned and docked the ship, trying every power in the force not to make him break down.
