Hey, hey! The first day of a new school year has ended for most of us, and I know that I am so relieved its over! Well, heres yet another chapter from my twisted mind. Its going to be a good one I speculate... oh yes, and I am working on another story for the Star Wars realm. Hehe, it has nothing to do with this series but when it is ready I will let you know. Ya know, if you are interested. I better get a movin. Enjoy!

Anakin's fingers came to his belt as he gazed around the grand apartment. So few nights had been spent here with his love. He would have gladly stayed longer but he needed to return to the temple. Staying too long would only cause Obi-Wan to wonder where his padawan went.

"Anakin?" Whispered a voice from beneath the sheets. "You're going now?"

"Yes, but I will try to be back as soon as possible."

"Take your time. I know how much you are needed." Padme sat up with a solemn look plastered upon her face. "It's funny, I never find it hard to watch you leave… but rather to have you back with me. You change so much over the time span… I don't know… I just…"

His eyes were now fixated on hers while sauntering over and sitting upon the edge of the bed. He never liked to see her in despair. "Padme…"

She pressed her fingers to his lips. "Shh… don't say anything."

"Padme, when I return I will shower you will all the love I can give, and our child. I can promise you that. Never will you be unhappy again."

"Anakin, don't say things like that…"

"No!" His gaze turned from compassion to fierceness. "I promise."

Before she could utter another word, Anakin had kissed her and rose to his feet. He didn't say anything as he walked out of the room and out into the hall. Having Padme speak more would just cause him to want to stay and make her see his way of thinking. He wasn't up for that right now.

Another thing he wasn't expecting was to see fellow Jedi walking down the same hall. Anakin gave them a glance. It wasn't he who spoke to them but rather the shorter one. "Anakin! What are you doing here?"

Anakin cleared his throat. "Just making a morning visit Ze. Can I ask the same question?"

"Were here on business. I guess you can say, out for a 'morning visit'." Replied Klip. He didn't know Anakin personally but had heard many great things about him. Word spread quickly among the Jedi. "Heading back to the temple?"

"Yes, I don't want my master to get agitated with my absence."

"Your master?"

"Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi." Anakin replied dryly.

Klip paused from hearing the name. He had met Obi-Wan years ago and the experience was not something he liked to remember. Besides the Jedi's knowledge about his past, the force vibe he got from Obi-Wan made him shutter. "Oh yes, I know of him. Well, we better get going."

The elderly Jedi continued his way down the hall. Ze glanced back to Anakin. "It was good seeing you again, later."

Ze raced to catch up with his master. It was strange to see Klip in such a state, for the padawan had never seen the Jedi so aloft. Anakin was now out of Ze's mind and more important things came into play. "So what do we say to the Senator's wife?"

"We'll just ask a few questions, you know, try to paint a picture with the evidence she gives us. Then we can take it from there."

"Don't we have to protect her?"

Klip laughed. "We will set up a few cameras. I am not about to put myself all out for some Senator's wife. As far as I know, this abduction took place away from his residence."

They both fell to silence when they stood before the door. Klip pressed the button to the side. There was no sound to be heard but suddenly a voice buzzed from the speaker to the side. "Who is it?"

"We are the Jedi sent by Master Yoda of the Jedi Temple."

Once Klip was done talking the door slid open. The two Jedi gazed inside the lavish apartment but would not dare enter. Soon a tiny woman came to the door. She was suited in a lovely wine color and appeared to be no older then twenty. A loose strand of blond hair was tucked behind her ear. "Please step inside."

Klip was the first to enter with Ze in toe. The noise of children scampering in the background could be heard. No words were exchanged but the lady did lead them into a sitting room. "Madame Pumbbala will be here shortly. Please make yourself comfortable."

Ze stared wide eyed at the furnishings. They were like nothing he had ever seen before; sure beat the temple. When he sat down in one of the loveseats, he knew that this was the life. He thought he was going to sink to the floor the couch was so soft. All his excitement was cut short when he gazed at his master. "What's the matter Master Judgin?"

"Remember that old force energy the council mentioned?"

"Yes…"

"I can…"

Their conversation came to a halt when a woman appeared at the door. She was quite beautiful for a woman of fifty-five. The ruffles of her black skirt rustled when she came near. Ze had to admit that she was lovely but he did notice the little dark haired boy at her side. He wondered if his master was captured in silence for the same reasons.

Klip almost collapsed when he had seen her. The brown eyes, pink lips, and her face… her face… could it be? There was nothing coming from the woman as well for she had fallen under the same spell.

Tears almost welled up in Klip's eyes but the tiny voice of a child piped up. "Mommy? Are these men here to help daddy?"

The woman looked down at her son. She ran a hand through his brown locks. "Yes, darling. Why don't you go and play with Serafina."

"Yes mommy."

"Ze, go with them." Klip bellowed. He could see that the woman was about to interrupt, no doubt his padawan was going to as well. Raising a hand, the Jedi Master closed his eyes. "It's not safe for them to be unattended, advice from Master Yoda."

The padawan rose to his feet. He was reluctant for a moment but soon he had a hand extended towards the child. The five year old left the room with the young Jedi.

The two were finally alone. Klip took a few steps closer to the Senator's wife, rage burning in his eyes. He was now inches away from her face but she dared not to take a step back. "I thought you dead…" he muttered.

Hehe, review my young apprentices! Review!
