Anakin walked into his apartment, feeling rushed, and for force sakes, very mad!
"Padme!" he called.
"PADME!"

"Ani what's wrong with you I'm right here! Goodness, why do you look so mad?" Padme said as she walked out of the living room into the entry way.

"Padme I have some very grave news. I am being sent on a mission!"

" Oh Ani you basically just got back! This is awful. Why can't Obi-Wan go?"

"Oh, about that… uhh… I'm not really sure; he hasn't been on a mission in a while- they should send him."

"Is there something you aren't telling me Mr. Skywalker?"

"Well… uhhh… not rea-"

"ANI! Just tell me already!"

"What are you talking about?"

"You know you are leaving out some important detail that I won't like… I can tell!"

"Uhg… I didn't want to break it to you like this but fine… Ok you know that girl that came here to get directions the other day? Well I was talking to Obi and she just casually came over! So I asked her what she was doing at the Jedi temple and she said she has to do some kind of report. So the council decided to send her with me. But Padme don't worry… this shouldn't be a very long mission because if it were remotely dangerous im sure they wouldn't send her. I should be back soon! And about Maquen… don't even try worrying about that." Anakin ended while winking at Padme.

"ANAKIN SKYWALKER! This is horrible! She's up to something… I know she has other motives… I can see it."

"Padme listen… I won't be gone for very long and when I come back I'll request some time here, ok? I love you and I always will! I'm mad too, but there isn't anything we can do about it. Now be very safe while im gone... you know the regular- (don't talk to strangers… look both ways before crossing the streets and other things of that sort.)" Anakin said while beginning to laugh at the stare Padme was sternly giving him.

"I know.. I know!"

"Oh... and C3PO and R2D2 are here. If you need anything at all get Obi-Wan. Ok?"

"Ok, ok! I know Ani… I love you."

"I love you too…I'll be back soon!" Anakin said as he walked over to Padme and gently kissed her. "See you soon, my love." Ani walked out of the apartment with a single tear rolling down his cheek.

Padme couldn't let him leave like this. She ran out into the hallway and started calling his names. Ani could faintly hear her and started running.

"PADME what are you doing?"

"Oh Ani be careful! I LOVE YOU!" Padme replied while forcing a hug on him and the going on the passionately kiss him until she ran out of breath. "please, be careful."

"I will angel. The same to you… be careful"

Padme ran back to their apartment and flung herself onto their bed. She could still smell him and she started bawling. Before she could even take another breath she heard the door to their apartment open and she started to get really scared! She had forgotten to lock their door. Padme held her breath and closed her eyes hoping no one would come in there.

"Does not locking the apartment door really help your safety?" Came a very familiar voice.

"ANI! Oh my goodness I was so scared! Why did you come back?"

"To see your face again. I just couldn't leave yet… not without seeing you yet once more. Next time lock the door"

The couple kissed (again) and Ani left; Padme felt much better about it this time… she knew Ani couldn't fall in love with Maquen. "He wouldn't right? What did Maquen have that Padme didn't have?"

The answer my friends is that Maquen has sith; they are on her side, and they will do anything to get what they want."
