Author's Notes: This was inspired by watching Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. This takes place from Padme's point of view. It was my musing on was going through Padme's mind. I do not own Star Wars; the rights belong to George Lucas. The rights also belong to Twentieth Century Fox and other respective companies. Enjoy and as always please read and review. I appreciate it!
This was a forbidden love, yet here I am diving headfirst into a risky relationship. Anakin Skywalker, a Jedi in training, and is the object of my affections. When I was fourteen and Queen of Naboo I met the deeply mature and thoughtful little boy that was Anakin on Tatooine. He left his mother, came to our aide, and in essence saved the galaxy. Now here before me is Anakin, a full-grown man. I had kissed him gently before we were tossed into the Geonosis Arena. I had whispered to him, "I truly, deeply love you." I meant it for I am in love with the handsome Jedi Knight.
I remember the debate among the Jedi if Anakin was the chosen one prophesied in their prophecy. I, Padme Amidala Skywalker am a Galactic Senator The rise of the Clone Army has the senate in chaos. Regardless, I love Anakin and shall remain firmly rooted to his side. We married on my home planet of Naboo, and for a short time it was just the two of us. We could just be peaceful holding each other tenderly.
That was not to be for long, the Clone Wars were in full swing. Anakin was needed. He went off with his trusty friend Obi-Wan Kenobi. I waited for him. I drank in each bit of news of him. Bail Organa keeps an ear out for news of Anakin's missions. I am thankful, for I always fear for his safety. The galaxy is not safe, and he could be killed at any moment. I am frightened, but can't show it. Anakin is off leading battles for the Clone Wars.
I am still active in the Senate, which seems to become more corrupt and a puppet of Palpatine. Anakin, my handsome husband who is so fearless and daring, how I need him. I remember when he called me an angel all those years ago. I smile as I clutch the trinket he carved for me. It connects me to him.
He is my brave Jedi Knight, the man who I need like the air I breathe. Ani, the boy I met so many years ago is now a man and a respected Jedi. I stare out from the apartment, and see his face. My love be safe. Remember what we've got at stake. I don't need you thrown out of the Jedi Order. I don't need to lose you or I will go out of my mind.
You're my anchor. We balance each other, and without you the balance falls apart. I need you to soothe me. I need you to tell me this will all be over soon. You promised you'd get things back in order for us. We would tell everyone about our marriage and work things out. We would go visit my parents again so they could celebrate with us. You remember that right Anakin? Come back to me for the sake of hope. Please, Anakin so we can have some hope.
