Ok this part has a strange twist it. If you don't get I'll explain in the next chapter

"Hello Padme, back for the last afternoon. Tomorrow is the big day. For some reason, they want to keep this a secret. I don't know all the details, just that a few other Jedi's knights are coming along."Naporta, looking at her datapad

"Why? What's going on?"

"Wish I could tell you, something going down. I can feel it the air and in the Force. But right now, your lunch is waiting in my office. Go eat please. !"

Padme went to her office and sat to eat. "Alright, he the "Chosen One" But he is in a coma right now. Maybe it's Palpatine idea. Hmm maybe he having some guilty feelings. Good! You asked for it."

He sent you some messages and you followed Anakin order for once. And didn't answer them.

With Padme with Anakin. Obi-Wan decided to search Anakin's room."Peyhol! Anakin why that. That's the most dangerous drug out here! Oh course! It's dangerous." Soon as Obi-Wan step in the room, he tried to guess where it was hidden. "Come on Anakin, you must have a stash here, His work table, nobody wants to touch that."

Obi-Wan walked over and started to go through the parts and containers. Finally hidden in a box under a servo part, was the container of multi color Peyhol. "Well. well, well. I guess we are going have that lecture Anakin." Obi-Wan put it in his pocket and headed for his room to pack.

Padme finished her lunch and headed bak to Anakin. "Hey, you starting to move around a bit more." As she watches, his legs move. "No handing holding for today. I have to finish these reports. However, you do get your kiss." As she lean down.

For the next hour you read your reports and finish up odds and ends of the Senator's life. Now and then, you watch Anakin. Noting he has grown still again.

In the greyness there is no time. So the days passed or was it hours. Nothing is known.

Except-

You realize-
you can't breathe.

Something is choking you.

"Anakin!" Padme reacting to Anakin's suddenly thrashing form. "Healer Naporta, Anakin is choking. Somebody help him."Padme cried out as she tried to restrain him before he hurt himself even more.

"It's ok Padme. He reacting to the breather's tube. Ok Anakin, the tube is coming out." Naporta between giving orders and taking the mask off. The followed by the tube. While others restrain Anakin, who is still gaging and coughing from the tube.

"Easy Anakin, its out. Just relax a bit. There you go. Padme, he might still cough a bit but that's his reflex doing that."

Padme watched as Anakin struggle a bit, then quieted down. Then Naporta place another type of mask on him.

"Hopefully he finds this one more to his likening. I still need to monitor him."She said "I really don't want to sedate him. It will bad enough when Anakin is move tomorrow. I don't know how he'll react. Poor Anakin, he'll be flying and he won't know about it." Naporta looking Anakin, adding "Are you alright Padme?"

"Yes, I'm fine. Just gave me a good scare."Padme answered. Sitting herself down again.

"I'll get some tea, you poor thing."

Greyness-
I'm surrounded by greyness.

Not floating not standing.
Just there and here.

Is this the journey back
or the final step?

Rest
I need rest.
