No Hope

Chepter 3: The Meeting

The senate building was usally a calm place, but with the war going on it was always in riots. Today Senators Oragana, Amidala and Mothma were all in an audience with the Supreme Coucellor. They wanted to protest against him keeping his emergency powers.

"Your powers have to be taken from you, and your term has to come to an end." Padme firmly supported the coucellor but he had gone to far.

No one knew how he was aable to stay in office long after his term.He had told the senate if a war was going on why would the galaxy need more change.At that moment Anakin walked into the room.

"Oh excuse sir, but you wanted to see me." Anakin stared at Padme. What was she doing here, he wondered.

"Oh yes, Anakin I believe you know the senators."

"Yes."

"We were just discussing the matter of my emergency powers and my extended term."

"Yes and I do believe it was a private coversation." Senator Oragana spoke up not wanting the jedi to get unvolved in the matter.

" I'll just be leaving then." Anakin walked out of the room.

Padme sighed " I believe that was unfair Bail. The jedi have a say in democracy too."

She toke one last look at all of them and walked out behind Anakin.

Anakin couldn't believe it, Padme was against the coucellor.

"You could have stayed." Anakin turned around to see Padme.

"What was that about." He asked in a angry tone.

" What."

" You against the coucellor."

" Against him, Anakin I want to know why he is still in term."

" And then get him out of office."

" No, well maybe but not because I don't like his views."

" Then why."

" Because the republic needs change. He only addresses the issues he wants too. My slavery petition has been on his desk for three years."

" Maybe he hasn't had time for it yet."

" He's had time. Anakin something weird is going on here. I think the evil were trying to destry is turning into the republic. Our duties are to the republic, not the supreme coucellor."

" My duties are to him to, right now and so a are yours. As long as he's in charge of the republicare duties are to him too. And those evils, I've been at war destroying them seeing many beings die to prevent the republic from becoming them."

" I'm sorry."

" Padme the only people we can trust right now are each other."

" I know."

" Don't do something you might regret later on."

" I won't"

" I'll see you tonight." And with that Anakin walked off.
