Randomsmirf13: Now that I look back and reread the first chapter, I realize that you're right. I tried to change that in this chapter.
Here's chapter 2, just for you, hot off the presses!
Chapter 2: Training and Arrival on Naboo
"We have decided that she can be your Padawan. But, you MUST tell us everything that happens. If you get attacked, tell us immediately." Mace said. Anakin had to fight the urge to jump up and down with delight. Instead, he bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Windu. I won't let you down." As he turned around to go tell Padmé, Obi-Wan said, "Anakin, don't do anything without consulting either me or the council first." "Yes, Master." Was the reply. Then he walked out.
Padmé was standing on the balcony in her room. What was the Council voting on that was so important that Anakin couldn't be involved? She thought. She was thinking so hard that she didn't hear her door open and close. She jumped slightly when arms wrapped around her waist. "Hey, beautiful," came a voice she knew so well. She sighed and said, "Anakin! Don't do that!" "Do what?" "You know very well what!" He smirked and said, "Oh, that. Why not? It's fun." She laughed and threw a pillow at him. He lifted his hand, and the pillow stopped in midair. With a flick of his wrist, he sent it flying back towards her. She ducked and pretended to pout. "Hey! No fair! You can use the Force and I can't!" He laughed and said, "Actually, Padmé, that's what I came to tell you."
"The Council has granted me permission to have you be my Padawan." She looked at him, surprised. Then, she smiled. "Stop fooling around, Anakin." "What do you mean, stop fooling around?" he asked. "Wait. Are you serious?" she asked him. "Never been more serious." He said. She had been walking around the room while he sat on the bed. Since she wasn't responding, he decided to meditate for a while. Suddenly, he felt himself being pushed backwards. He laughed as she jumped up and down like a little girl. "I can't believe it! I'm a Jedi Padawan, and the man I love is the one who is going to train me!" They both laughed and kissed. Then they lay on the bed, just enjoying each other's company.
A day later, they were both on a ship to Naboo. Anakin had asked the Council if they could go and train there, since it was so peaceful there. The Council thought that it was a good idea, since they would be able to concentrate more there. So, here they were, traveling peacefully. Padmé said, "It's so good to be back. I can't wait to see my parents again. I've missed them so much!" "So have I." Anakin said. Padmé smiled and said, "Just wait till I tell them that you're my husband!" They both laughed.
When they finally got to Padmé's house, her mom answered the door. "Padmé! We were wondering if you'd ever come back again!" She looked at Anakin. "And you brought young Anakin with you. Good to see you again! Do you still need to be protected? I thought that the war was over." She said, worried. Padmé laughed. "Don't worry mom! I'm fine. Anakin's here because…well…he's my husband. I'm also now a Jedi Padawan, and Anakin's my master."
"Oh." Jobal (I think that's Padmé's mom's name!) said after a moment of silence. Then she smiled. "That's great, honey. You're always welcome here, Anakin." Padmé sniffed the air. "Mmmm…something smells good." Jobal laughed. "As usual, you're just in time for dinner."
Her family was thrilled at the news. They were glad to hear that she was no longer in danger. Sola smiled and said, "So, Padmé, Anakin. What brings you here?" "What, a girl needs a reason to visit her family?" Padmé said, laughing. "But, seriously, since I'm a Jedi Padawan now, I have to train. So, Anakin asked the Council if we could come here, and they said yes, so here we are." "We're probably gonna start tomorrow." Anakin said.
The next day, they had breakfast: chocolate-chip pancakes, maple syrup, and blue milk. (Breakfast of champions!) "Bye, mom! We're heading out now!" Padmé said. Jobal smiled. "Bye. Have fun, you two." "Breakfast was delicious, Mrs. Naberrie. We'll be back in a few hours." Anakin said. Then they left for the meadow, playfully hitting each other.
I hope you like it so far! Please stay tuned for Chapter 3! Please R&R. NO FLAMES, UNLESS THEY ARE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM! No saying, "Your story sucks!" or anything like that.
