Yoda sat in the temple with Master Mace Windu, both alone in the darkness of the star room, clearing their thoughts towards the future.
The senate meeting went fine, and Queen Amidala took some of the young padwans to the race track to celebrate. The temple was peaceful at this time of day, and Yoda felt something deep inside him as he tried to look towards the future.
The dark side.
He saw in just a blink of an eye, pain, loss, love, hate, fire, smoke, fallen ones, and a star...a death star. But since it all happened so fast Master Yoda couldn't get a strong grip of any of these thoughts at once, the only one that stood out the most was...
Love.
He cracked open one eye and locked with Master Mace Windu, he felt it to...but where?
But later on that night, once everyone had returned...someone was still missing, someone who said they were going to take the night off to look up files on a new planet they would be teaching about later that week.
Half way across the city, in Queen Amidala's high rise apartment, which she now owned...laid a Jedi in the darkness of her bed room.
He went to see her since most of the day she had been busy, he came along with the padawans at the race track and laughed as they ran around laughing.
He had only a few moments to himself with her, and they planned a meeting later that night together.
Before leaving they hid for a second and shared a kiss they hadn't felt for almost a year. They rested their foreheads against each other panting and he promised her he would come.
When he did arrive, he learned that only a small number of her handmaids knew about him, and were safe enough to trust, they let him in, and before he could even shut the door...she ran and jumped in his arms, catching him off guard and knocking against the door, almost falling.
She kissed him hard, and breathed his name as he laughed.
She told him how hard it had been without seeing him, and how she dreamed every night about him.
They kissed each other, on the edge of crying as she told him in a blurred sentence about how lonely she had been.
She seemed so different today, almost putting on an act to please the young ones, Anakin was more then happy to see her and talked her ear off for an hour or so about what had happened to him so far in training.
She laughed and ruffled his hair.
Now they were together, the touch, the taste...everything they had been missing.
They couldn't take it any longer.
So like mad men, they started to undress each other as they stumbled to her bedroom. He asked if they were going to fast, since he still worried about her and was still new to the touch of a woman...even if it was the woman he loved.
But before letting her hand explore him more, making his eyes bug out and gasp for air. She told him during their time apart she learned some new tricks.
And with that he looked at her, having no idea one could do that to another person.
They made love together, and somehow it was different this time. Sure things weren't perfect, but they knew each other now and things seemed to feel better and last longer. A million feelings all at once, as he laid on top of her, pressing down into her small frame. But she was no longer crying, she dug her nails into his back and they both screamed when it finished...together.
It was beautiful.
They now laid together in each other's arms. The darkness and the moon light streaming through the glass windows at their naked bodies.
Later she lead him out to the balcony, where they over looked the busy city, even at this hour of the night speeders, and ships buzzed around and buildings lit up.
They held each other, feeling a breeze float by them, when she turned and held him.
"Being apart from you was to much, I know we can see each other...but like this?"
He nodded, holding her closer, feeling her pain.
"I love you more then anything Padme." He kissed her hand and she smiled.
"I know..."
He knew the future would always come, and even if they loved each other...he was a Jedi, and she was a Queen.
He wanted more.
"When will you come back to me?"
She thought for a second.
"Ten...maybe eleven months." She sighed and rested her head against his.
"It isn't easy is it?"
He sighed.
"It never will be."
And so they held each other and watched the night sky.
