Everything checked out and Anakin is fine. The doctors couldn't for the life of them figured out what caused all that so they told Anakin to report to them as soon as he can if similar things occur. Anakin sat staring blankly at the machines that are still hooked up to him. Memories flood back to him and he is still trying to understand it all. Although the whole gong-show only happened a month ago but he can't help but feel that he is a different person now, looking at the situation in a different light. The door slid open and in comes Padme charging towards him.

"Oh Ani!" Padme collapses into him. He can feel goose bumps all over his arms and a slight tingle that was all too familiar. Bail was a couple paces behind her and he comes in and puts a firm pat on Anakin's shoulder.

"Welcome back bro" He said with genuine care in his tone. Anakin smiles and swallows the lump that was in his throat.

"So did you get into trouble while I was gone" Anakin casually replies. After all he did run out and never explained himself to his long time friend. Bail smiles back and can't help but notice Padme's dramatic display of attention.

"Sweetie is everything ok?" Bail asks and rests his reassuring hand on Padme's back. He can feel that something is off. Padme is less receptive to him she seems a bit more distant. Bail is famous for being self centered but he is not an idiot. "Am I missing something here?" Bail asks hoping that he is just being over sensitive.

"No"

"Yes"

Both Anakin and Padme said at the same time. Bewildered Anakin looked at Padme, he had to think fast how is he going to fix this problem. Luckily the paging system went off and Bail was paged to the front desk with an urgent message. Bail looks at them and said "We are going to talk about this when I get back" Padme nods acknowledging his and continues to breathe in as much Anakin as she could. Anakin has to think quickly he wishes that he had more time to think this through. What is he going to do? Technically Padme has no idea that he remembers all the stuff that happened before, so he can continue to play dumb.

"You ok Padme?" Anakin asks in his most carefree tone.

"Yes, I am just so glad that you are ok" Padme breathes a sigh of relieve. "I lost you once I don't want to lose you again"

"Lost me once? I don't get it. We have just met" Anakin still have control over his tone.

"Ani, I have to tell you something." She looks up into his baby blues and gently slipped in hands in-between his. She is a little surprised to see that he is not squirming in pain but she is definitely not going to question it. "We know each other from before, albeit briefly, but we know each other better than anyone else in this universe and ones beyond" She searches his eyes for some form of recollection but they are filled with puzzlement.

"How can this be, I don't know you, I don't remember you" Anakin replied with a hint of residual anger from all the hurt he felt before. Wounds heal but they turn into scars. He will never be able to shake off those scars. He can feel the love pouring out of Padme. Anakin can certainly be the bigger man and just accepts her. It is clear to see that Bail and Padme are done and what Anakin witnessed earlier was simply Bail not knowing what the situation was. However a part of him still questions Padme's intention. She can discard him so readily before she can easily do it again. Does he really know who she is? For all he knows he could have dreamt up a perfect soul mate and just projected onto this gorgeous creature. She was everything to the old Anakin the question is, is she still everything to the new Anakin… Padme continues to stare into Anakin's eyes and without thinking she leaned in and gently plants a kiss on Anakin's lips. Shocked Anakin doesn't know how to react but all the doubt washed away, her smells takes over, he wraps his arms around her and together they breathe each other in and hungrily kiss each other.

Bail walks hastily to the reception area. What in the name of all that's good is going on? He knows that he hasn't been there for Padme recently due to his father's failing health. However one can assume that it's a perfectly logical excuse. Dying father, crying girlfriend… Any decent person would have made the choice Bail did. He waited at the reception for his message impatiently. He fidgets and his eyes dance around the desk until something catches his attention. It was the monitoring camera screens and in it, is what seems to be long lost love rediscovering one another. The only problem is that one of them is his girlfriend.
