AU: Hey guys! I just wanted to say how excited I am that you guys are actually liking the story. I promise it will start to get a little bit better. This is the first fanfiction I have ever written so to be getting views and reviews( which made my day you have no idea) is cool as hell. So thank you thank you. Keeping reviewing and keep reading and ill keep posting. I work a pretty slow and boring computer job so I should be able to update quite a bit.
After a stressful meeting with the senate and finding out the details about last nights assassination attempt, Padme arrived back at her apartment hoping to be able to relax for just a few minutes. Once she sat down on the couch and closed her eyes. Her holocam went off showing the figure of palpatine.
Of course. The last person I feel like dealing with right now.
She sat up and greeted her master.
"Hello Master. Is there a reason for you calling me?," she sighed.
" I expect to talked to with respect child." he glared at her.
"My apologies master."
"Any ways in light of recent events, myself and the Jedi council think it would be best if you took a leave of absence and return to Naboo with the aid of a Jedi for your protection."
" Do you really think that is wise Chancellor? To hide me away wont that make me seem week." She angerly agreed.
" Actually I think this will help the plan greatly. I asked if Skywalker would be able to be the Jedi going with you and the council after much talk agreed."
"But master-"
He cuts her off. "No this will be good now you and him can be alone without interruptions. With all the senators, Jedi ,and Kenobi around he is never going to open up and break free from the Jedi."
"As you wish master" She angerly sighs. "i don't agree but i will do as you say."
"Very good. The Jedi should be there shortly to pick you up. Pack up your things and talk with Representative Binks about taking care of you duties while you are away."
"Very well master," she bows and the hologram disconnects.
Well this should be fun. She huffs and gets a hold of Jar Jar and tells him to report to her apartment immediately.
As Padme is packing a few of her things, Jar Jar walks into her room.
" Jar Jar. I call you here cause I'm talking an extended leave of absence. It will be your responsibility to take my place in the senate. Respective Binks I know I can count on you Hmm?"
"Meesa honored to be taking on dissa heavy burden. Messa accept this with muy, muy humility and uh-"
"Jar Jar i don't wish to hold you up. I'm sure you have a great deal to do."
"Of course milady." He bows and then walks away.
Argh finally. She rolls her eyes and turns around to fine Anakin standing. Jeez when did he get here.
She angerly walks by and continues packing her things.
"I do not like this idea of hiding."
" Don't worry," Anakin says as he follows her into her room. "Now that the council has ordered an investigation, it wont take Master Kenobi long to find this bounty hunter."
"I haven't worked for a year to defeat the Military Creation Act to not be here when its fate is decided."
"Sometimes we must let go of our pride and do what is requested of us."
Coming from the person who argued on my couch last night for ten minutes.
"Anakin you've growing up."
"Master Obi-Wan manages not to see it."
Grabbing a dress out of her closet. Oh great not this again. She rolls her eyes knowing he cant see her.
"Don't get me wrong. Obi-Wan is a great mentor." He adds on.
She looks up and sees his is using the force to levitate a all shaped decorations of hers.
She laughs to herself. Showoff.
" As wise as Master Yoda and as powerful as Master Windu. I am truly thankful to be his apprentice. In some ways in a lot of ways. I'm really ahead of him."
Yet again she rolls her eyes. And that is why you are still a Padawan.
" I'm ready for the trials, but he feels I'm too unpredictable. He wont let me move on," he adds on.
"That must be frustrating."
"its worse. He's overly critical. He never listens. He doesn't understand. It's not fair."
This stops Padme for a second. Hmm sounds like he actually understands the issues I have with my master. She sighs.
"All mentors have a way of seeing more of our faults than we would like," or so she's been told at least. "its the only way we grow." She thinks back to all the times she was punished or electrocuted with force lighting so messing of a sparing move when learning to fight with a light saber or not following one of his plans correctly.
He sits down on her bed and sighs. "I know."
She looks at him. "Anakin. Don't try to grow up too fast."
He stands up and looks her in the eyes. "But I am grown. You said it yourself."
Wow he moves on fast.
"Pease don't look at me like that."
"Why not?' he says still staring into her eyes smirking.
"It makes me feel uncomfortable." She walks away and grabs the last of her things.
"Sorry milady." still smirking.
After packing all her things and changing into something a little less discreet. Her and Anakin meet up with Obi-Wan, her hand maiden and captain Typho and proceed to the landing docks to catch and ship to Naboo.
"Be safe, milady" Captain Typho says as she gathers up her stuff.
"Thank you captain. Take good care of Dorme. The threats on you two now." she tells him worried about her handmaiden after the death of Corde. Growing up wit Palpatine and being queen and a senator at such a young age she didnt really have te chance to make friends and they were the closest to got to any.
"He'll be safe with me," Dorme says smirking while holding back a tear.
"You'll be fine." she tells her.
"It's not me, milady. I worry about you. What if they realize you've left the capital?"
She smirks looking over at Anakin while Obi-Wan seems to be lecturing him. "Well, then my Jedi protector will have to prove how good he is."
After talking with Anakin, Obi-Wan walks over to her.
"I'll get to the bottom of this plot quickly milady. You'll be back in no time."
"Ill be most grateful for your speed, Master Jedi." she tells him.
"Its time to go." Anakin tells her grabbing a few of the bags and makes his way to the ship with R2 following.
"Anakin may the force be with you." Obi-wan tells him as Padme grabs the rest of her stuff and follows Anakin and R2.
"Suddenly I'm afraid." she tells him as they make there way to the ship leaving for Naboo.
"This is my first assignment on my own. I am too." he adds.
Oh great Palpatine failed to mention that. I sure hope he has no more attacks planed.
"Don't worry we have R2 with us." he tells her trying to cheer her up.
R2 beeps and they laugh as they make their way into the ship.
