Chapter 5: Senatorial Function & Unwanted Guests
With Hannah promising them that nor Palo or Ruwee would be entering the function tonight without being on the list or having an invite despite Sabe and Dorme's worries that Palpatine could invite them in secret, Anakin promised he would protect Padme. They had been having fun in her apartment and Palo wasn't around so it made the time even better. Now she emerged in a dazzling, sparkling light orange cocktail dress with matching heels and her hair in beautiful curls. She definitely took his breath away, "Wow, Padme. You look so beautiful" he told her as she blushed, "Thank you. You look utterly handsome" she replied as she eyed him over. He was wearing his formal Jedi robes. His blond hair slicked back but his blue eyes were so memorising. She slowly moved over to him, "Thank you for taking me tonight. I know I will have a great time with you" she informed him as he smiled, "Thank you for letting me take you. I will let you have the night of your life" he assured her as he spun her into his grasp, holding her tightly, she felt truly happy, "Oh, you're a really good dancer" she told him as he smirked, "I do it for you" he told her, looking into her deep brown eyes as she held him close, "Then I am one very special girl aren't I?" she smirked as Anakin smirked, "Yes and I am the luckiest guy to hold you in my arms" he told her, pulling her back in for a kiss together once more.
Normally Chancellor Palpatine didn't have much time for friends but for two old friends he made an exception. He knew them ever since he started helping out a young Padme Naberrie and form a close relationship with her father and boyfriend. He watched them enter and knew it wasn't going to be good news. "Ah, Ruwee, Palo. What brings you here tonight?" he asked as Ruwee growled "My youngest daughter. She has apparently run off with Anakin Skywalker" he informed him as Palpatine smirked secretly to himself. This could be something that could help him too. "Now why would she do that? She loves Palo" he told them as Palo shrugged, "She got it into her head that I hurt her because I caught her cheating on me which is not allowed in our small village on Naboo" he explained as Ruwee went on, "You need to talk to her. Make her go back to Palo. Don't let her shame her family" as Palpatine smiled, "I have an even better idea. I will sneak you into the party tonight as two of my guards and only when I say so you will reveal yourselves" he told him as Palo and Ruwee exchanged looks with each other but nodded, "Agreed" Ruwee replied.
Shining with gold, red and silver decorations, the ball room was like a dazzling holo net film and Padme couldn't believe her eyes as she entered with Anakin as a voice joined them, "Well, what do you think?" Hannah asked them, moving towards them, dressed in a beautiful deep green dress with sparkling green shoes and her golden blond hair in beautiful curls as Obi Wan stood next to her, dressed in his formal Jedi robes and his hair sleeked back. "Oh it's beautiful. I can't believe I am here" Padme told her as Hannah smiled, "Believe sweetie. It's your night along with the other three guests. Now, if you will come with me and I will lead you to the back room where you will wait with the others before we announce you into the room" she informed them, escorting them along with Obi Wan's arm around her waist and Anakin's around Padme's. Hannah couldn't help but comment, "For knowing each other only two days, you guys make the cutest couple ever" she told them as Padme looked up at Anakin, "I know. It's amazing. I feel so lucky to met him" she gushed as Anakin agreed, "Yes, she is very special to me" he added as Hannah showed them into the room, "You can get acquaintance with the other guest of honours until its time" she told them before they exited the room as Obi Wan watched the people enter the room, "I still don't like this" he told her as Hannah giggled, "Oh Obi Wan, you are so cute. Everything is fine. Now come with me, I want you beside me when I am on the stage" she told him as he smiled, "I would love to be with you" he informed her as she turned and gave him a cheeky smile and a quick sweet kiss on his lips.
As Anakin and Padme waited in the small room, talking with one of the other guests, a voice surprised Padme. One she wasn't expecting to hear. "I don't believe it" came the cold, hard voice as they went on, "Look what has strolled in off the street. I am surprised that you lasted this long" as Anakin stared at this figure, "And who are you?" he asked straight out as they laughed, "I don't expect you to know me but I know that thing next to you" she replied, stepping in light, Padme gasped. Before them, stood a tall, beautiful red haired girl, straightened down her back as she wore a one sleeve long deep red dress and black heels with a tall brown hair man next to her with his arm around her. "I am surprised to see you here too, Rabe" she informed her in a clear voice as she smirked, "I would have thought a farm girl like you would have been sent home in the first day and yet, here you are with Anakin Skywalker no less" she scoffed as Anakin stared at her, "Is that a problem?" he asked as she laughed, "Oh you are so cute. Obviously you have no idea how Naboo works. City girls can grow up to do whatever they want and Country girls only grow up to be wives and mothers, doing only what the man says. I hear that Palo is not pleased about you" she explained as Padme looked straight at her, "I have no desire to see him for what he has done" she replied as Rabe flicked a loose strand of hair from her face, "That's a shame because after tonight. You will be going home to slave for him while I represent Naboo and the system here and perhaps your boyfriend here" she suggested with a wink as Anakin pulled Padme close, "Sorry not interested and Padme is going to show you who really is the proper representative" he replied as Rabe laughed more, "You believe whatever you want to believe but I know I am going to be the next Senator so you just hang on to that little fantasy of yours" she told them, "Come on Andrew. Let's not waste our time with these people" she told him leading him across the room as Anakin shook his head, "Who was that? And why was she so mean to you?" he asked as Padme only sighed, "She was once a friend but now hates me" she confessed as Anakin looked confused, "Hates you?" he asked, "Why would she hate you?" he added as she sighed, "I'll tell you" s he explained.
Flashback
A fourteen year old Hannah strolled to the front of the room and Padme watched her slowly. She was slightly older than her and already had matured so much including going to Courscant and being an aide for a Senator. Now she was back and helping to choose three Apprentice Legislators to go to Courscant and train with Senator Palpatine. Padme hoped it would be her but Rabe, who changed so much since being at the palace had other plans. "Don't hold your breath farm girl. I am going to Courscant and you're not" she informed her as Padme looked at her, "How can you be so sure? I have just as good as much chance as you do" she replied as Rabe laughed, "But you're a farm girl. Always will be and nothing will change" she reminded her as Padme shook her head, "Well, we'll just see" she told her turning back as Hannah spoke. "I know you are all nervous and so I won't hold back anymore" she started, "The three people to go on to Courscant will train under Senator Palpatine himself and you may have a chance to meet some Jedi" she told them as everyone began to murmur and Padme knew why. She had heard that Hannah had been working closely with Obi Wan Kenobi-Jinn and his father Qui Gon Jinn, two of the Order's finest Jedi. "Now you were all judged on how you performed this week and it was very tough to choose but we have the top three and they are" she began, pulling out a small data pad, "Jack Williams" she called and Padme saw a young boy her age move towards the stage as Hannah went on, "Sarah Starling" and Padme smiled. One of her best friends choose as Padme held her breath, one place left as Rabe glared over at her, mouthing to her, "So long" as Hannah spoke once more, "And the final candidate was a favourite among the judges and showed tremendous skills and determination and I know they will go on to be the best" she told the crowd as Rabe stood tall before Hannah announced, "The final candidate is Padme Naberrie!" she exclaimed as Padme became stunned with her friends ushering her forward. She was almost to the stage when Rabe blocked her, "You are a little cheat aren't you?" she asked "You are not going to last and you'll die a farm girl you were born to be" she told her as Padme only brushed past her, "Then I guess you hate me" she told her as Rabe nodded, "From this day on" she assured her as she eyed her going up the stage.
Anakin was shocked. He couldn't believe it as he saw Padme begin to cry so he held her close as she cried. "She has hated me ever since that day and doesn't believe I can do this" she sobbed, "She even thinks I shouldn't be with you" as Anakin held her by her shoulders, "Padme." He spoke, looking in her brown wet eyes, "I want you to know that I am here and always will be here. I saved you that night and I am not letting you go ever again and tonight, you are going to be the Senator tonight. I can feel it" he promised her with a smile as Padme slowly nodded, "Oh Anakin. What would I ever do without you?" she cried, throwing her arms around his neck as he wrapped his's around her waist prompting Rabe to call out, "Oh come on! I don't want to see that! Why don't you come over to a real girl?" she asked as Anakin glared at her, "Sorry, but the only beautiful girl I see in this room is Padme" he informed her as her mouth dropped as Padme managed a small giggle before she pulled him closer for a romantic kiss before a voice entered the room. "Okay, places everyone! Its time! We're ready to introduce to the crowd" they called as Anakin escorted Padme over and she felt the nerves beginning to work inside but as long as Anakin was here, she knew she would be fine.
Darra and Siri had moved throughout the whole Temple and nor Anakin or Obi Wan were in sight and no one was around to ask where they were except for one and she be able to help them anyway. "Ahsoka!" Darra called as she saw the small Togruta skipping ahead stop and turn, "Yes. Can I help you?" she asked in a small clear voice as Darra moved towards her, "You know Anakin more than anyone. He looks at you like a little sister so tell us where is he?" she asked as Ahsoka looked her straight in the eyes, "He's not here tonight. He's with Padme Naberrie and Obi Wan's there too. I don't know why but Master Jinn and his wife should be able to help you" she informed them right before they heard. "Help with what?" he asked as Darra, Siri and Ahsoka looked over to see Master Jinn and Shmi strolling towards them as Darra spoke, "Where Anakin and Obi Wan were?" she asked once again as Qui Gon saw her. "Siri Tachi. You have a lot of nerve coming here and asking for Obi Wan" he coldly spoke as Siri looked away as Shmi added, "You're not going to go see them are you?" she asked sounding concerned as Darra nodded. "We want to hang with them" she told them as Qui Gon shook his head, "I am afraid tonight. Anakin and Obi Wan are both unavailable. They are at the Senate where a new Senator for Naboo will be announced. Anakin has escorted Padme Naberrie and Obi Wan is escorting his old friend Hannah" he explained as Siri became even more upset. Hannah? He was with her? There was no way he would care about her now. Obi Wan loved being with her and it could turn into a romance once more as Darra kept her cool, "Thank you for informing us Master" she replied as they moved off and Ahsoka headed slowly in the other direction as Darra became angry, "How dare they do this? We know Anakin and Obi Wan longer and these new girls just swoop in and take them from us!" she exclaimed as Siri, who had been watching his parents move off, spoke softly, "No. They won't. I am not letting Ben go once again and you'll have Anakin with you in no time" she assured her.
"Isn't this exciting, Obi Wan?" Hannah asked, excitement high in her voice as they stood on stage as the crowd moved into the room as he agreed, "Yes but I am worried that Padme's father and ex boyfriend will show up" he told her as Hannah giggled, "Oh Obi Wan. You are so cute. Everything will be fine" she assured him as he sighed, "I know it's just that I don't want something to happen to Anakin because of them" he told her as Hannah smiled, giving him a small kiss, "You're an excellent brother Ben. Always will be and tonight will be perfect" she promised as she moved away from him and over to the stand where she spoke, with a clear, strong voice. "Thank you all for coming tonight. We will announce our new Senator later tonight but for now allow me to introduce our guests of honour" she smiled, "We first started with three before a surprise candidate proved to us she belonged here and tonight, we are here to name one of them Senator of Naboo!" she exclaimed before she started, "Our first candidate is Jack Williams escorted tonight by his date Elle Smith" as all eyes saw a young man no older than Anakin moving through the crowd with a stunning brunette on his arm, smiling as they arrived on stage, "Our second candidate is Sarah Starling and her date Mark Fining" and everyone watched a beautiful blond haired girl with a blond hair boy moving for the stage as Hannah spoke once more, "Our third candidate is Rabe White and her date Andrew Glass" and Obi Wan saw a striking red haired girl smiling confidently at the crowd towards the stage as Hannah announced once more, "And please welcome our fourth and final candidate, Padme Naberrie and her date Anakin Skywalker-Jinn!" she called as a hush swarmed over the crowd.
Padme and Anakin emerged into the room, with every single pair of eyes on them. Padme knew it was because Anakin was with her mainly. He was one of Courscant's greatest heroes and everyone adored him. They proceeded up to the stage and stood along the other candidates. Rabe glared at her while Sarah and Jack only smiled. They knew of her problems at home and wanted her to be happy. They both disliked Rabe's attitude towards her and wanted Padme to win over Rabe. Hannah spoke, "There we have it. Our fabulous four candidates who will now open this party with their first dance with their dates as Padme became nervous but Anakin leaned close to her, to whisper, "Its okay, we'll show them how its done" he smirked leading her back through the crowd to the centre of the room where he placed his hands on her waist as she place one on his's waist and one in his hand before the music started and the four couples moved around the floor however there were two who were not pleased. "I say we go over right now and stop them" he growled as Palpatine whispered back, "Patience. It will be time shortly" he assured them as Palo tried to remain calm as he watched Padme dancing past with Anakin. A bright smile across her face as her eyes met his. Her beautiful orange dress swimming around her legs as he smiled down at her, she blushes, "You're a good dancer" she commented as he smiled, "Its all for the most beautiful girl in the room" he told her as she blushed even more, "Oh Anakin Skywalker. You sure know how to make a girl flush" she replied, with a beautiful kiss as Obi Wan took Hannah's hand, "Shall we join them?" he asked as she giggled, "It will be my pleasure" she smiled as he lead her out onto the floor as couples around them followed their lead. Seeing Anakin and Obi Wan dance made every girl envious of Hannah and Padme. "Two brothers who can dance well, its every girls dream" she smirked as Ben felt himself going red, "Its all for you" he told her as Hannah moved closer to him, resting her head on his shoulder, "Oh Obi Wan, being here with you makes me never want to leave you ever again" she confessed as he spoke "Stay with me then" he told her as they just danced to the music and enjoyed the night.
The music echoed through the Senate hallways, which were empty. Everyone was either at home or at the party and it made it easier for Darra and Siri to arrive with any questions asked. "I can't believe we are doing this. We are never going to get in" Darra pointed out but Siri already knew this. "I know. We're not going to try and get in. I know a better way we can observe the party" she told her, leading her upstairs and above the room. "What are we doing?" Darra whispered as Siri waved her forward to a small balcony and Darra gasped, "Oh my god" she whispered as Siri smiled, "And no one will notice us" she promised her. Her eyes moved through the crowd until she saw him. He was still ever so handsome. His hair sleeked back and he was dressed beautifully. He held Hannah close and his eyes never left her face. She was stunning and her beautiful green dress only heightened her beauty as Darra spoke, "Oh and they are" she muttered, seeing Anakin with Padme in his arms ever so adorable. This was going to be harder than she thought. They were both stunning girls and had both brothers wrapped around their fingers without them knowing as Siri remembered the pain of losing Obi Wan the first time:
Flashback
Siri saw how the anger never Obi Wan's eyes. He was angry with what she had done and knew that there was only one way to solve this problem. However, it wasn't Obi Wan she feared; it was his younger nine year old brother Anakin. He stood at his brother's side. A curious look across his face as he spoke, "Why did you hurt my brother?" he asked as Siri scoffed, "Stay out of this Anakin. This is between Obi Wan and me" she told him as Obi Wan moved his hands on top of Anakin's shoulder. "Do not talk to my brother like that. He is someone who is helped me through the news" he told her as Siri knew what he meant. "Yes but I would like to talk to you in private" she informed him as Anakin spoke, "I am not leaving my brother alone with you" he told her just as another voice entered the room, "I'm sure Obi Wan knows what he has to do. Come on, Anakin. We'll go wait outside" came the voice of Obi Wan's friend Hannah as Anakin looked at Obi Wan, who nodded. "I'll be along in a minute" he promised as Anakin slowly took Hannah's hand and moved out of the room with her and Obi Wan turned back to Siri. "How could you do it?" he asked straight out as Siri seemed surprised at his question before he went on, "And don't say it was for the mission because there have been hundreds of missions and you have never done anything like this before" he reminded her as Siri spoke, "Obi Wan, I didn't want to do but he tricked me" she argued but he wouldn't hear it, "No. you are lying again and if that was true, you would have stopped straight away" he told her as Siri tried to move over to touch him but he moved back, "No, you hurt me and I don't want to be in this position anymore" he told her as she wanted to cry, "What are you saying?" she asked, as he looked her straight in the eyes, "It's over" he informed her and with a last kiss, he watched her leave heartbroken as Hannah and Anakin moved into the room. Obi Wan didn't say anything but collapsed into tears on the lounge as Anakin and Hannah rushed over to him, "It's alright Obi Wan. We're here and we would never see you hurt" Hannah assured him as Anakin nodded, "You're my brother and I will look after you too" he promised as Obi Wan looked down at his brother and lifted him into his arms as Hannah kept her arms around his shoulders.
It was over. All over. He had said and broke her heart. She knew she had broke his and still don't know why she had truly hurt him. Now she was here to get him back. Looking down at the dance floor, she watched in envy of the blond haired girl with her arms around his neck and head on his shoulder. She was clenching her fist on the rails when Darra spoke, "Something's happening. Look" she spoke softly and sure enough, there was someone moving over to Obi Wan and Hannah. She saw the girl nodding to the new figure and turn back to Obi Wan; whispering something to him which saw his eyes move over to Anakin, dancing gracefully with Padme. Siri quickly tried to figure what may be happening. "It may time for the announcement" she told her as the small committee ascended the stairs.
"Can I have your attention please?" the first figure asked, "And could all candidates and their partners please make their way to the stage now please?" he asked them. "It is time for the announcement of the new Senator of Naboo. But before I announce the Senator, I'd like to invite Hannah to say a few words" they finished as Hannah let go of Obi Wan's hand and moved towards the stand. "Thank you Alexander. First of all, I would like to give a round of applause to our four fantastic candidates and for making it so far" she smiled as the room broke into clapping before she went on, "For well over 5 years, Chancellor Palpatine was our Senator for Naboo and he represented our planet with a firm voice in the Senate. He trained four candidates as some of the very best aides Naboo has seen and I have no doubt that one of these young people will represent us well and Chancellor Palpatine will rule the Republic with a strong voice once again" she spoke clearly as another round of applause came before she went on, "And so without further ado, I'd like to turn back over to Alexander for the announcement" she told them, moving back over to Obi Wan as Alexander took the stand once again. "Thank you Hannah and I agree when I saw that anyone of these candidates will represent Naboo well in the Senate" he went on as Rabe slowly nudged Padme, "It's all over for you. Thanks for being here on my night" she smirked as Anakin whispered back, "Don't be so confident. It doesn't get you any far" he told her as she slightly touched his arm, "Maybe you could join me in my apartment for the celebration later?" she asked before he laughed, "Not interested" he told her as he felt Padme grip his hand tighter. It was almost time as he wrapped an arm around her slim waist, "Good luck" he whispered into Padme's ear as she smiled but it didn't stop the nerves going crazy inside her.
"This person showed remarkable skill and talent for the position of Senator of Naboo. They came highly recommended by their teachers and while it may have been a rough road with a lot of negative media along the way. They handle themselves perfectly and everyone in the committee agrees that we have made the right choice" Alexander went on, looking over at the four people, "And so, without any more delays, please welcome our new Senator of Naboo…Miss Padme Naberrie!" he exclaimed as the room burst into applauses as Padme felt light headed had Anakin not being there holding her. "You did it Padme!" he told her, "You're the Senator!" he added as Rabe stared coldly at her, "What!" she shouted "How could you be the Senator?" she asked out loud as Padme smiled, "I was just what they were looking for" she told her as Alexander called out to her, "Come say a few words Padme" as Anakin urged her along while Obi Wan moved over to him and Hannah happily embraced Padme along with the other members as Padme took the stand. "Wow, thank you. I know you have made the right choice" she started grinning from ear to ear as she went on, "I know that I may just have been from the country side of Naboo but I know I can do this and I want to thank my teachers, the committee members, my grandmother Winama who got me started, my two best friends Sabe and Dorme and finally Anakin Skywalker and his family. They have welcomed me to them with open arms and I want to thank them for being here tonight" she happily cried, "I will not let Naboo down" she assured the crowd as they clapped once more while she moved back to Anakin, Obi Wan and Hannah and Alexander took the stand. "Well done Padme. Or should I saw Senator Padme Naberrie?" he asked before he went on, "Before we continue with the fun side of tonight. Chancellor Palpatine has informed me he would like to say a few words and has a surprise" he told them which began murmurs as he moved for the stage and took the stand.
"Yes. An excellent job Senator Naberrie" he began looking over at Padme before he turned back to the crowd. "When I first met Padme, I thought she would go far and here she is. Senator of Naboo and I am most pleased. I am proud of the decision made here tonight" he went on, "It is a time for friends and family to celebrate her new position and tonight. I have a surprise for our new Senator" he smirked as Anakin, Padme, Obi Wan and Hannah all exchanged confused expressions with each other as Hannah leaned over to another committee member, "Did you know about this?" she whispered as she shook her head, "No and I am worried about this" she replied as Palpatine spoke again, "Tonight, I would like to bring up to the stage. Two people who have loved Padme ever since she was born. Please welcome my old friends. Ruwee Naberrie and Palo Sienar" as Padme gasped as Anakin moved protectively in front of her and Obi Wan joining him as an older man nearly as old as their father and a younger man no older that Obi Wan approached the stage. "What are they doing here?" Anakin growled looking deathly at them as Palpatine smiled, "They are here for Padme, of course" he replied as Anakin was about to protest before Hannah spoke, "They are not suppose to be here. Padme asked us for them not to be here. How could this happen?" she asked Palpatine who only smiled "They are my friends and they should be here for Padme's big night" he told her as Anakin shot back, "Palo should not even be allowed to look at her for what he has done!" he shot back as Palo became angry. "You stole my girlfriend from me and I here to claim her back!" he roared as Padme moved next to Anakin. "I am not your girlfriend any more. Leave now or I'll have you thrown out" she warned as Ruwee moved towards her, "Padme Naberrie! You are coming with me right now!" he exclaimed, face going red as Anakin moved her behind him reaching out to stop him from touching her, "I don't think so" he warned him before another vision flashed before his very eyes:
Anakin's vision
It was almost like it was too real. Padme, screaming in tears as Ruwee and Palo kept advancing towards her. Obi Wan and him were standing protectively before her. "You will not harm her" he spoke as Ruwee laughed, "I think I will and I haven't forgotten about you two" he told them, clicking his fingers as an unknown hooded figure leapt before them, meeting their blue blades with a bright crimson red blade, forcing them away from the three. "Now, Padme. You will come with us" he informed her as she shook her head. Her night dress hanging on with one strap left. "No, I am not" she cried, "Please, just let me be with Anakin!" she pleaded as Ruwee shouted, "He is not who you were meant to be with. Palo" he clapped as Palo smirked, advancing towards her, he grabbed her by her right wrist. She screamed out, "Anakin! Help me!" she cried seeing Anakin turn to see Palo pulling her away. "Hang on Padme!" he screamed, rushing for her but Ruwee was faster and pushed him back. "Not this time Jedi" he spat, pulling out a blaster, he fired but instead of hitting Anakin. It was Obi Wan who took the bolt in his side as Palo pulled Padme further and further away.
Anakin pushed Ruwee further, "You stay away from her and my family!" he spat as Palo scoffed, "I don't think so. I should have you arrested for stealing my girlfriend from me!" he spat back as Obi Wan stepped forward, "No. we should arrest you for sexual assault" he informed him as Ruwee laughed. "Has Padme being telling you tall tales? Palo is allowed to have total control of Padme. It is part of our customs" he told him as Anakin shot back. "You're on Courscant now and it is not allowed here" he informed them, "Leave now and do not even try to visit her" he warned them as Hannah and Alexander issued two guards to escort them out, not before Ruwee could warn them. "This isn't over Jedi! She is my daughter and she will be with Palo!" he called through the crowd before he was gone and Anakin turned back to Padme, who was shaking all over. "Do you want to go back to your apartment?" he asked as she nodded. "Yes but only if you will stay with me" she told him as he smirked, "Of course" he promised adding, "And I forgot to give you something" he smiled, pulling her in for a romantic kiss, "Well done Senator" he whispered as he held her close as she blushed, "Thank you Anakin" she replied before he looked over at Obi Wan. "I'll see you tomorrow. We're going to head back to her apartment for the night" he told her as Obi Wan nodded. "Yes. Stay safe" he warned him as Hannah added, "Sorry about what happened. I didn't know" as Padme gave her a friendly embrace, "It's alright, you didn't know" she told her before they moved through the room and back out into the hallway.
"I know the Chancellor meant well but he should have consulted us before he does something like that" Hannah spoke as Obi Wan remained silent, still staring at the door Anakin had left from. "Obi Wan! Obi Wan! What do you say?" she asked as he finally spoke. "I think Anakin is having visions about the future" he told her as Hannah seemed confused, "What?" she asked as he explained. "That's now twice where he has gone silent and then lashed out at Palo and her father" as Hannah seemed startled, "So what are we going to do?" she asked as he turned to her, "We're going to consult our father before something happens and it will be too late" he informed her as she asked "Now?" seeing him smirk, "No, let's just have some fun tonight" he told her, spinning her into his arms, Hannah laughed, "Alright, Jedi. Let's get out there" she replied and moving back out onto the dance floor.
"I'm sorry about tonight. I didn't know that would happen" Anakin confessed as Padme silently nodded before she spoke, "Its alright. You didn't know he would do that but you protected me and I want to thank you" she told him as he held her in his arms, "Padme. There is something I want to tell you and I haven't told a girl this before" he confessed as she slowly stroked his arm, as he went on, "Padme. I love you. With all my heart, you're the first girl I've truly loved" he told her as Padme felt like she was going to cry, "Oh Anakin! I love you too. I have never loved anyone more than I feel for you" she cried, throwing her arms around his neck, Anakin smiled down into her beautiful brown eyes before their lips met in a long, passionate tender kiss right in the middle of her dimly lit apartment.
[Uh oh! Trouble is arising for our new love couple Anakin and Padme. Will Darra and Siri succeed in winning both brothers back? Will Obi Wan and Hannah share their feelings together? Will Obi Wan and the Jedi discover Anakin's visions before its too late? Will Palo and Ruwee destroy Padme's new happiness because of their traditions? Plus, what will little Ahsoka do when she discovers an sinister evil plot involving the quiet Sith and some surprising characters? You will have to wait and see! Oh and Rabe's not finished yet!]
