Inuko-sama: They have chocolate chips and maple syrup because it's my story and I couldn't think of any Star Wars food right then. Anakin calls Padmé's mom "Mrs. Naberrie" because I couldn't remember what her mom's name was until I watched Episode 2 on DVD last night.
MaxCale: Thanks!

Chapter 3: Training
BAM! CRASH! (sorry, but I really don't know what the word is for the sound a lightsaber makes.) These sounds echoed across the peaceful meadow, along with occasional shouts. Anakin grunted as he fought off Padmé with plastic lightsabers. Padmé had wanted to use the actual lightsabers, but Anakin said that if they did, he'd probably be dead before the day was over. It was a good choice, considering how may times she had hit him with the lightsaber.
"OW! Not so hard! Be careful. Pay more attention, Padmé." "I'm trying, Anakin!" "Well, no offense, but if you fought like that in battle, you'd be dead before you could say, 'Quidditch'." He looked over at her. When he saw how frustrated she looked, he ruffled her hair, saying, "Aw, don't worry about it. You'll get better in no time." She smiled and laughed, and said, "Oh, all right. I'll take your word for it."
They got back into a fighting stance. Suddenly, Padmé ran towards him with the lightsaber. Anakin simply ducked. She flew past him and landed on her butt. "OW!" she cried. Anakin went over and held out his hand. She grabbed it and yanked him down to the ground. They laughed as they rolled down the hill. They stopped with Padmé on top of Anakin (De ja vu, anyone?) She leaned down and kissed him. The kiss deepened. His hands trailed down her body. They completely lost track of time, and ended up making love right there in the field.
About a half hour later, Anakin sat up and said, "Hey, I'm starting to get a little hungry. Do you think we should start heading back for lunch?" Padmé nodded. Anakin started to walk back when Padmé, laughing, said, "Anakin?" He turned towards her and said, "Yeah?" "Don't you think we should get dressed first?" He looked down and said, "Oh, yeah. I forgot about that." He walked back, blushing furiously. When both of them were dressed, they walked back, hand in hand.
When they got back, Jobal said, "Back so soon?" Padmé smiled and said, "Actually, mom, we're here for lunch." Jobal laughed and said, "Of course. Help yourself to anything you like." Padmé kissed her on the cheek and aid, "Thanks, mom."
"What would you like, Ani?" Padmé asked. He smiled when she said his old nickname. "We have pears, blue milk,…" After naming a few more things, Anakin said, "Hmmm…pears and blue milk sound good." (A/n: Sorry! I can't remember what the pears, which are Padmé's favorite dessert, are called.)
After lunch, they headed back to the meadow. Pretty soon, the peacefulness was disturbed yet again by the sound of lightsabers crashing. "OW! Anakin, that was my foot!" Padmé said, hopping up and down, holding her foot. "Hey, it's not my fault! You got too close! Are you okay?" "Yeah, but my foot still really hurts." Anakin sighed and said, "I think that's enough lightsaber practice for today. Now let's work on the Force." Padmé smiled and said, "You mean like earlier, when we…" "That's not what I meant." Anakin interrupted, blushing.
"Now, you must concentrate, Padmé. Clear you mind completely. Now picture the object that you want to lift or move very clearly. Now try to imagine it lifting up." They were using a spoon for this exercise. When Anakin saw the look of sheer concentration on Padmé's face, he nearly burst out laughing. "Ready?" When she nodded, he said, "Now open your eyes and concentrate onlyon that object, and imagine it lifting up." She opened her eyes and concentrated. The handle of the spoon lifted about a centimeter off the ground. She tried again and again, but the spoon wouldn't go any higher. She sighed in frustration. "Why won't it work? I did everything you said, but it won't lift!" Anakin laughed and said, "Hey, don't worry. It takes practice, but you'll get it eventually." She sighed again. "I guess you right." He smiled and said, "That's the spirit. Now, I think that's enough training for today."
OK guys! I have a MAJOR case of writer's block right now! If you have any ideas or suggestions of what should happen next, please tell me in your reviews! Thanks!
