A/N: I have never really been the type to beg for reviews, but I've noticed that 300+ people have read this story, and I only have 5 reviews. Does anyone else see something wrong here? I just want to know how my writing is so I can get better, is that too much to ask? It would be very nice if you could please review at the end of the chapter, thank you.

Chapter 3: We Will Meet Again

After I got to Coruscant, so many things happened. While I was marched off to the Jedi temple to hopefully begin my training, Padmé went with the queen to appeal to the senate to help out her home planet of Naboo.

I didn't see her at all in Coruscant; she was busy with her duties, and I with mine. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were telling the Jedi council about the mysterious figure, and then they would see if I would be trained as a Jedi.

I felt for certain that I would be trained. Qui-Gon said I would, and I believed him. I couldn't wait for when the Jedi Council would accept me as a padawan.

I can remember how overjoyed I was when Qui-Gon came, and told me he was going to take me to the Jedi Council for them to test me. I was a bit anxious about the Jedi Council. Not the testing, just hearing him tell me that they would have to see me first made me a little afraid.

As I went in front of them, I suddenly felt cold. The Council gave me all grave looks, almost as if they doubted me. But, I apparently passed their test.

But with this, their looks deepened. They knew I couldn't let go of the feeling I had for my mother. And according to them, "Fear is the path to the dark side."

They told me I would not be trained. I remember my heart stopped in my chest. It was unfair! How could they not train me after I had come so far! I felt angry, very angry, that they were denying me my dream, a dream I had ever since I learned what Jedi were!

They were also denying me my chance to protect Padmé…

Qui-Gon argued, but the Council would not listen to him. While they argued, I felt all my hopes shatter.

But, the Council told them not to debate me at the moment. The queen had decided to go back to Naboo. And Qui-Gon was to protect her. I would have to go with him.

Even though I wasn't allowed to be trained, I felt better. At least I would see Padmé again…

As we readied for battle, the queen decided that the only way we could possibly win is if we made an alliance with the Gungans.

After searching for a while, we found their hideout. From their looks, it seemed the Gungans didn't want us there. The queen started trying to negotiate, but suddenly, Padmé stepped forward.

I was confused as to why she was doing this, but I was even more surprised when she said, "I am Queen Amidala."

For a moment, I was confused. How could Padmé, the lowly handmaiden, be the queen? But as I saw her beg the Gungans for their help, it was obvious she was queen.

I saw her in a whole different light; Padmé was much braver than I thought she was. Her bravery made me admire her more.

During the battle, I worried about her a little bit. But I didn't have to worry; she could take care of everything herself.

Leave everything to Padmé…I thought.

But the battle ended in a bitter triumph. We had liberated Naboo, but Qui-Gon had died. He was the one who had promised me that I would be a Jedi, he was the one who had gotten me this far, how was I supposed to continue on?

After his death, Obi-Wan, took me in. He promised me that my childhood dream would be fulfilled. "You will be a Jedi. I promise." He was going to train me. Obi-Wan would be my master now.

Even with my happiness at finally going to become a Jedi, I still had a twinge of sadness.

I knew I wouldn't see Padmé for a long time. I was going to live at the Jedi temple, she was going to live in Naboo. Sometimes, I doubted if I would ever see her again.

But, I had the same feeling I had with my mother. I knew, I just knew, that one day, I would see her again. I would have to see her again.

The last day I saw her, before I left for my training, is the day of the Naboo Victory Celebration, also celebrating the alliance of the Naboo and the Gungans.

Padmé stood on the steps of the palace at Theed, looking beautiful, as always. After the globe of peace had been passed to Boss Nass, she looked at me.

I couldn't help but smile at her, and it warmed my heart to see her smile back.

I knew I had to speak to her before Obi-Wan and I left for Naboo.

After the celebration, I asked Obi-Wan if I could go speak to her. Surprisingly, he said yes. I guess he noticed how close we were. I ran off to go find her.

As I walked through the palace, some people looking down upon me because I was so young, I finally ran into one of her handmaidens. "Excuse me, do you know where the queen is?" I asked.

It took her a second to recognize me, but then she told me where I could find her. "You might want to try the balcony, she goes there often." She pointed.

"Thank you!" I said, running off in the direction of the balcony overlooking the city.

While I was running off to find her, I thought over in my head what I was going to say. I'll tell her, I'll miss her…that I'll make sure I come back to see her one day when I am a Jedi…

I carefully chose my words; once again, I felt the need to impress her.

I turned a corner, and I saw her. She was still wearing the ceremonial outfit, all dressed in white.

She looks like an angel…I thought, gazing upon her more closely.

Padmé noticed I was there. She turned and looked at me. "Anakn?" she asked. "What are you doing here?"

I suddenly forgot my prepared speech. "I wanted to see you again…I'm going to leave soon." Then I remembered my position. She wasn't Padmé the handmaiden. She was Amidala, Queen of Naboo. "Oh!" I bowed low. "Forgive me, Your Highness."

Padmé frowned and shook her head. "Anakin, you don't need to do that here. We're friends, aren't we? You can call me Padmé. It is the name I was born with."

I dared walk closer to her. "Okay…Padmé."

She smiled when I said her name, but it faded. "You're leaving today?"

"Master Obi-Wan wants us in Coruscant right away." I told her, secretly wishing my new master was lenient enough to allow me one more day in this place. Once more day with Padmé…

"Things are going to change for you, Ani." She said, looking back on the city of Theed. "You're going to start learning the ways of a Jedi…you'll finally be able to achieve your dream."

"Uh-huh." I replied. "Once I'm a Jedi, I can protect the people I care about. I'll be able to save people from bad people."

Padmé laughed. "I know you will."

I was making her laugh! "I'll go and defeat the Sith, and I'll show them they can't mess with me!"

"Ani, you're still the same, funny little boy I met in that junk shop on Tatooine." She exclaimed.

I suddenly felt a teeny bit annoyed that she referred to me as a little boy. I didn't want her to think of me as still a child. I sighed. "I'll miss you."

She looked back at me, looking a bit sad. "I'll miss you too."

I didn't want her to look so sad. My last memory of her had to be happy. "Don't worry. When I am a Jedi, I'll come back and visit you."

I noticed that as she looked at me, something stirred behind her brown eyes. It was as if she was looking at me in a whole different way. A small smile once again found her lips. Smiling…the way I loved seeing her. "I'd like that."

"Anakin!" I heard my master calling for me. I guess I had wasted too much time.

I turned away from where I heard Obi-Wan calling from inside. "I have to go now."

She came closer to me. "You're a good friend, Ani. I know you'll always be my friend."

"Anakin!" Obi-Wan yelled louder.

"Coming!" I yelled back. I turned back to her. "You'll always be my friend too! Don't forget me!"

She gave a small laugh. "I won't. I promise you."

"Good. Bye!" I yelled, and ran back inside, as I heard Obi-Wan yelling for me once again.

As Obi-Wan scolded me for staying too long, there was only one thought in my head.

She promised me she won't forget me…and she wants to see me again someday…

That was the last time I saw her, for many years. Of course, I saw her in holograms all over the place, occasionally a far away glance of her when she came to the capitol and I snuck out of the Jedi temple. But I never really met her face to face again for a long time.

I always wondered, and worried, if she still remembered me, or if she had forgotten. If she still had that pendant that I had given her when I was a little boy.

But, I wouldn't let the doubt get me. I always had to be optimistic, for my own sanity during this hard time. She promised she wouldn't forget about me…

And one day, I'll see her again…

A/N: I added in the new scene because I felt this chapter was way too short without it. And I always wondered why they never said anything about their last meeting as children…Stupid Lucas, leaving out all the good parts!

Also, I am begging you, please just review something! Please!
