FLASHBACK

It was early evening.. and the two Jedi had taken the turbolift to Senator Amidala's apartment. Anakin was very excited, yet nervous. He had been parted from Padmé ten times longer than he expected.

" You seem a little on edge, Anakin. " Obi-Wan stated, noticing Anakin slightly nervous.

" Not at all. " he denied.

Obi-Wan shifted his eyebrow slightly, he had got to know Anakin quite well through these past ten years.. he was quite impressed with his skills, yet his attitude was what bothered Obi-Wan most.

" I haven't seen you this nervous since we fell into that nest of gundarks! " Obi-Wan said.

Anakin gave a derisive sound.

" You fell into that nightmare Master, and I rescued you, remember? "

Obi-Wan chuckled, which made Anakin give a small, nervous laugh.

" You're sweating. Take a deep breath, relax! " Obi-Wan noted.

Anakin turned to face Obi-Wan.

" I haven't seen her in ten years master! "

Anakin was getting impatient. He could feel her tormenting him, he didn't want to wait another moment.

Eventually the turbolift stopped and the two Jedi walked out, where Jar Jar Binks was waiting for them.

' Not exactly the person I want to see. ' Anakin thought to himself.

" Obi! Mesa so smilen to see'en yousa! " Jar Jar cried, while shaking his hand wildly.

Obi-Wan gave Anakin a slight embarrassed glance, then smiled politely to Jar Jar.

" It's good to see you again, Jar Jar! " he replied.

Anakin could sense Padmé, he didn't want to stand here to re-unite with Jar Jar. He wanted so desperately to see Padmé.

Jar Jar glanced at Anakin up and down.

" Wow, Annie? Nooooooo, "

" Yousa so biggen Annie, mesa no believen! " he said in amazement.

" Hi Jar Jar! " he replied politely.

After a few long embarrassing moments, Jar Jar led the two Jedi to where Padmé was, with her bodyguard and hand maiden close by.

As soon as he walked in, there he saw her. Anakin had thought he had fell in love again.. she was so beautiful. She was grown up.

Yet she had much resemblance. He couldn't take his eyes anywhere else.

" Lookie lookie Senator! Desa Jedi arriven! " Jar Jar announced.

Padmé turned from the window to greet them.

" It's a pleasure to see you again m'Lady. " Obi-Wan said while standing in front of her.

" It's been far too long, Master Kenobi. " she replied politely.

Anakin tried hard to wait patiently until she noticed him, his smile grew slightly bigger when her eyes met his.

Padmé studied Anakin for a moment, only to realise the boy was little Annie.. but he was grown up.

" Annie? " she asked.

Her smile deepened. Anakin could tell she was happy to see him.

Anakin stepped forward a bit, trying to get a better view of Padmé.

" My goodness you've grown! " she exclaimed, noting that now he towered over her.

" So have you, " Anakin replied awkwardly.

" Far more beautiful, I mean. " he bit his tongue, realising he shouldn't of said that, he knew Obi-Wan would've thought that too.

" For a senator.. I mean. " he added quickly.

Padmé shook her head and laughed the tension away. Her laugh was one of the sweetest sounds that came out of her mouth.

END FLASHBACK

Vader woke from his dream, realising he was talking in his sleep. About a dozen droids stood around him, sewing up and cooling his open wounds, making sure his robotic legs are functioning and analysing his heart rate.

When everything else was done.. Vader saw a robotic arm carrying a helmet, which was lowering towards his face.

When it was put on, the droids turned on the life support so he could breathe. Vader inhaled and exhaled, hearing the loud effect.

Palpatine came in, seeing the new look for his apprentice. No skin was showing, and there was no colour but black.

" Lord Vader, " he said softly.

Vader didn't feel like speaking, he thought it might hurt.

" Can you hear me? " Palpatine asked calmly.

" Yes master! " he responded.

Palpatine sighed in relief.. he didn't want to lose another apprentice again.

Vader quickly thought about Padmé. He wanted to see her, he wanted her so desperately.

" Where is Padmé? " Vader asked desperately.

Palpatine didn't want to answer.. but he knew he had too. The whole reason he turned was to save Padmé, how would Vader react when he finds out that he failed?

Will he turn against him?

" I'm afraid... with all your anger, " he paused for a moment.

" You killed her. " Palpatine finished.

" What? I couldn't have! " Vader's voice boomed.

The ground and the walls began to shake, droids toppled over and equipment broke into pieces. Palpatine managed only just to stand still.

Vader was so angry, what would he do without his precious Padmé? Was he to blame? It couldn't be true.. she can't be gone!

He broke his hands free from the cuffs and stepped forward.

" NOOOOOOOO! " he cried.

Palpatine could feel his anger, it was getting stronger and stronger. He almost thought that he did the right thing, to kill her. He could never be turned from the dark side, not for what he was holding onto.

A/N: Sorry to disappoint all those who wanted Padmé to live! This fic is more true to the real story. Keep reviewing please :P
