Palpatine stepped off the ramp way, thinking about what he must do when his apprentice is fixed. Vader, was close behind in the medical unit.. with two clones following.

It was a sad day.. as the sky could tell. If Vader were Anakin again, he would of thought the sky was crying Padmé's tears, and that every drop hurt.. especially the ones that touched him.

Vader groaned in pain, he tried to relax, hoping he would dream about Padmé. Yet he felt now that he couldn't remember what she looked like, he felt almost that she was gone.

He didn't want to accept that, he just hoped it was a feeling that wasn't true. Eventually Vader closed his eyes and fell asleep.. again.

FLASHBACK

It was the day after the victory parade in Theed (the capital of Naboo), Anakin was soon to leave and start his training. He was so excited, yet he was upset at the fact that he wouldn't be seeing Padmé for a while.

That is why he was desperate to speak to her. He wanted to get the freshest memory of Padmé before he left.

" Anakin! There you are, I've been looking for you. " Obi-Wan said.

Anakin stopped to wait for his master, hoping that he would help him find Padmé.

" Master, have you seen Padmé? I've been - "

" There's no time to see Padmé, we must leave to Coruscant. " Obi-Wan interrupted.

" Besides, she will be doing her duties. She probably doesn't want to be disturbed. "

" But what if I don't see her for a whole year? I can't wait that long! " Anakin said defiantly.

Obi-Wan sighed. He could tell Anakin needed much work, and that he needed to accept what people say and go along with it.

" You have much to learn my Padawan. Be patient, you will see her soon. "

Anakin could tell Obi-Wan was struggling to be patient, so he thought it was best to keep quiet.

" Come. " He motioned for Anakin to turn towards the main hangar, where a ship was waiting.

" Yes Master. " he obeyed. Anakin hung his head disappointedly, he really wanted to see her. He didn't want to wait another year or so to see her.

After a few minutes of walking through the busy streets of Theed, they reached the hangar and prepared to leave. Before Obi-Wan walked up the ramp way, he noticed Anakin running off.

He turned to see Queen Amidala (Padmé in other words), obviously here to say good-bye.

" Padmé! " he said as he reached her arms. He embraced her, being careful not to crease her gown.

" I'm going to begin my training now, I don't know how long it will be till I see you again. " he admitted.

Padmé smiled, she was disappointed he was leaving.. but even if he did stay she knew she wouldn't have much time for him anyway.

" I'm going to miss you Anakin, I'm sure we'll see each other soon. " Anakin nodded, he closed his eyes, taking in her words that were music to his ears, smelling her scent and feeling her body.

He wanted to remember everything about her until he was able to see her again. He was good at remembering.

" Anakin.. we must go. " Obi-Wan called from the ship.

Padmé broke from the hug. " Good-bye Annie, and good luck! "

" Good-bye! " he yelled as he ran towards Obi-Wan.

Minutes later, the engine roared to life and the ship rocketed towards hyper-space.

END FLASHBACK

Vader woke from his dream, he swore he could still smell her scent and hear her voice, but he couldn't feel her. He couldn't feel her life.

" No! " he barely made out.

He wanted to cry, but it was too painful.

Palpatine looked at the damaged body of Darth Vader, he wondered if he would still have his full strength when he was fixed.

The medical droid came to Palpatine's aid at once.

" What can I do for you? " as they reached inside the building.

" How badly damaged is he? " Palpatine asked smoothly.

The droid got a needle and took a blood sample.

" It won't be a moment my lord. " the droid said.

He analysed the blood sample, which revealed the information needed.

" I'm afraid that he cannot live without permanent life support. The test shows that he has burns up to 85 percent of his body. We must operate immediately to save his strength. "

Palpatine nodded.

Vader was carried away into the operation room. When he comes out, Anakin Skywalker would be no more.

A/N: Sorry this chapter took a while, I had to make most of this up. It is a little bit shorter than usual, but the next few chapters will be better and more romantic I promise :)
