A/N: I would like to explain the book thing, if you would read this so you don't get confused while reading: I Hate Myself For Losing You, which will be up soon... And I hope you will read it!

The two stories are sort of the same because they are both alternate endings for ROTS. So the two books are a series, but they are not connected in any way. I don't want you to be like:

'Oh I thought: I Hate Myself For Losing You and If I Could Change Our Fate were sequels to each other', because they aren't!

I have decided to take a break from all the humor and write a more dramatic story! So hope you like it!

SPOILERS! WARNING WARNING WARNING! SPOILERS FOR EPISODE THREE!


If I Could Change Our Fate

Summary: AU: During ROTS. Padme has visions of the future and her and Anakin's fate. She decides to change it, if she can. Book 1 of 2: What If?


Chapter 1: Visions

(Padme's POV)

I stood on the balcony of mine and Anakin's apartment, gently brushing my hair. I guess you could say that everything went right, I had told Anakin about me being pregnant and he had taken it… Alright, I guess.

"You are so… Beautiful…" I hadn't even noticed Anakin was there. I jumped at his voice.

"It's only because I'm so in love."

"No it's because I'm so in love with you."

"So you are saying love had blinded you?" I teased and walked over to him.

He laughed, "That's not exactly what I meant."

"But it's probably true." My laughter joined his and it stopped when we both leaned in for a kiss.


A little while later…


We lay in bed, my head resting on his chest, not saying a word. We did not want to ruin the little time that we had together. His breathing was even, he was at peace. My eyes slightly closed as I felt his lips gently kiss the top of my head. And then I fell asleep, content with everything that was going on.


Dream Scene:

It was so real, so very real. I could see everything as clear as day. Anakin… He was doing something, he was kneeling before Palpatine. I could hear their voices, I walked closer to them.

"I will do anything you ask, just help me save Padme's life, I can't live without her." Why do I need saving? I was alive wasn't I?

"To cheat death is a power only one has achieved, but if we work together, I know we can discover the secret." Anakin nodded.

"I pledge myself to your teachings."

"NO!" I yelled, but they couldn't hear me, they couldn't see me.

"Good. Good. The Force is strong with you. A powerful Sith you will become. Henceforth, you shall be known as Darth... Vader." No that was Anakin, not Darth Vader! What was going on?

"Thank you, my master."

"Rise!" Anakin rose and I could see his anger, his hate.. The scene ended.

Then it started again, Anakin walking towards the Jedi Temple, armies, huge armies behind him. A hood covered his face, but I could see him. His eyes yellow, piercing, full of hatred, what was going on?

Then it came to the worse part. Anakin walked up to the Jedi Council room and was confronted by younglings, with hope in their eyes.

"Master Skywalker, there are too many of them! What are we going to do?" The boy questioned as the others walked out from their hiding places.

Anakin took out his light saber and that was the end of it. He killed them, every single youngling. That's when I snapped, tears poured down my cheeks, what was this? WHY WAS THIS HAPPENING? WAKE UP PADME! WAKE UP! But I couldn't wake up; this vision would not let me wake up without finishing.

Then we were on a volcanic planet. There I stood, not me, but a vision of me, a future me. Tears ran down my face, and there was Anakin. His eyes the same yellow, why was I crying? What happened?

"You're a good person, don't do this."

"I'm doing this for you, to protect you."

"I don't know you any more. Anakin, you're breaking my heart. I'll never stop loving you, but you are going down a path I can't follow!"

"Because of Obi-Wan?"

"Because of what you've done, what you plan to do. Stop. Stop now. Come back!" My future self was breaking apart; a mask I had worn was wearing thin.

"I love you!"

"Liar!" Anakin saw Obi-Wan emerge from the ship.

"No!"

"You're with him! You brought him here to kill me!"

"No!" An invisible hand clenched my throat and cut off my supply of air. My face turned blue as I coughed roughly.

"Let her go, Anakin! Let her go."

My body dropped to the ground, it was numb. I didn't move, I just lay there, probably taking in everything that had just happened. I knew I was living a lie the moment I married Anakin Skywalker.

"You turned her against me!"

"You have done that yourself."

"You will not take her from me!"

"Your anger and your lust for power have already done that... You have allowed this dark lord to twist your mind until now you have become the very thing you swore to destroy."

"Don't lecture me Obi-Wan. I see through the lies of the Jedi. I do not fear the dark side as you do... I have peace, freedom and justice to my new Empire."

"Your new Empire!" Obi-Wan screamed.

"Don't make me kill you."

"Anakin... My allegiance is to the republic, to democracy!"

"If you're not with me, then you are my enemy."

"Only a Sith deals in absolutes."

"I will do what I must."

"You will try."

They fought, their light sabre, clashing against each other. My head was spinning; I didn't know what to do anymore.

I ran to my body, I reached out for it, but my hand went through it. I didn't know what was happening, was I dead? Then I saw it, my stomach, it was larger then before. When was this going to happen? How would I know? I was breathing, but they were short breaths. Threepio rushed out and carried me back to the ship.

The vision made me watch Anakin and Obi-Wan fight. The fight came to an end when Obi-Wan cut off both of Anakin's leg and his real arm. I gasped in horror. Anakin lay on the burning ground, I couldn't watch. I heard Obi-Wan's stinging words, they were painful to hear, but I knew the vision wanted me to know this.

"You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them. You were to bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness!"

"I HATE YOU!" Anakin screamed as he tried to climb up the rocky pit. This was how hell felt.

"You were my brother Anakin, I loved you." With one last look Obi-Wan fled, he didn't save Anakin; he left him there, to die. He ran to the ship where Threepio was waiting.

"Mistress Padme is on the ship." Threepio answered and they hurried up the ship. Tears pouring down my cheeks, I cried and cried, I jus couldn't accept the fact that my perfect world would be ruined. Forever…

Then I was on the ship, starring at my body, Obi-Wan brushed a strand of hair off my face. My eyes slowly opened.

"Obi-Wan? Is... Anakin… All right?" Obi-Wan smiled sadly and my eyes closed again.

The vision took me to a medical room. Where my body lay, my eyes shut tightly, my breathing short and ragged. Obi-Wan stood outside the room, looking in, standing next to the window. A medical droid came up to him.

"Medically, she is healthy. For reason's we can't explain, we are losing her."

"She's dying?" What? I was dying? No! How could that be?

"We don't know why. She has lost the will to live. We need to operate quickly if we are to save the babies".

"Babies?"

"She's carrying twins." Twins? My baby, was babies. My hand automatically shot down and clutched my stomach tightly. I was going to have twins. A smile appeared on my face, but quickly disappeared as I watched the scene unfold in front of me.

A scream was heard and Obi-Wan rushed into the medical room. My face was pale, my breathing harder then ever. A baby's cry filled the air.

"A boy." A boy! Oh Ani, a boy! A beautiful boy!

"Luke." I answered and screamed once more. Another baby. Another cry. Right now, joy filled me, tears of joy, not sadness. Luke, my beloved Luke. Luke Skywalker, my son, Anakin's son, our son.

"A girl." The medical droid held up the baby. A girl! A girl, a lovely girl!

"Leia…" I took a deep breath, "Obi-Wan… I know… There is still good in him… I know… There still is…" My future self eyes shut, my breathing stopped, and my head went numbly to the side.

My tears that had just been tears of joy were now of heart break. I died… How could this have happened? My life, my perfect life, my life that I thought everything would go right in, was crumbled right before me.

I watched this all happen, my whole life, this was my fate; as well as Anakin's. I screamed, tears pouring down my fate. I couldn't let this really happen. I couldn't just give up. I was stronger then that.

It took me to my own funeral. I looked at my body, it looked so peaceful, my eyes shut, and in my hands was the beautiful craved jappor necklace that Anakin had given me the first time I had met him. I sank to my knees, this is was my future.

My family walked along side my body, Ryoo and Pooja… I would never see them again; I would never see Luke or Leia. I would never see Anakin… Ever again… I sobbed over and over again… There was one last place the vision wanted me to see.

It was Darth Vader. He was in a suit, a dark black suit. Darth Sidious was beside him, looking on as Darth Vader awoke.

"Lord Vader, can you hear me?"

"Yes Master." He looked around the room, there were droids everywhere.

"Where is Padme? Is she safe? Is she alive?"

"It seems that in your anger, you killed her."

"I? I couldn't have! She was alive! I FELT HER!" Things started to explode, the droids hurried around.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

My knees gave in; I fell flat on my face as tears fell harder then ever. The vision was slowly coming to an end. I looked up only to see Darth Vader and Darth Sidious standing at the front of a ship looking out into space.

The only thing that could be heard was the breathing of Darth Vader…

End of Dream Scene.


I woke up, crying, that was my future. That was my fate. I would end up dying and Anakin would destroy the galaxy. I couldn't let that happen! I just couldn't!

I found my cheeks stained with tears, I was a mess. My hair was damaged from me probably pulling at it, my lips looked pale, well my whole face did. There was not a dry spot on my body. It was covered in sweat and tears.

I felt his arms come around me, and I knew that I would pull away, but I didn't. I let him comfort me; he had no idea what I had just seen.

"What's wrong?" Anakin questioned as he kissed my cheek gently. I decided not to tell him just yet, I would go to Obi-Wan first. I shook my head and placed a smile on my face.

"Nothing's wrong, I'm just tried." Anakin nodded and we went back to bed. Anakin wrapped his arms around me as I let my tears fall freely. I would change our fate, I had too.

End of Chapter 1
