The next day after eating breakfast and unpacking the rest of her things. Padme decides she wants to show Anakin around town and show him some of the places she used to like to go to when she lived here before she was Queen. She just hoped he didnt ask to many questions about her childhood afraid to answer some of them for fear of exposing the plan.

"I used to love walking around these streets and looking into the shops and all the venters, especially after classes. Which if you look right around there that's the school I went to before I got into politics." She smiled to herself remembering some of those times.

"I can see why you love it here so much its definitely more peacefully and more beautiful than growing up on Tatooine," Anakin says.

"Have you ever gone back to visit with old friends or your mother?" she asked noticing he grew silent after mentioning his mother. Sensing he wasn't going to answer her, she continues talking. "It must be nice that even thought you aren't with her to still have memories of her." She paused. "My mom died went I was very young so i dont recall many memories."

"I'm sorry. I didn't know that."

"Its fine. Not many people do. My father was around for a little , but not a whole lot that I would even consider him a father."

"I never knew my father. Mom wouldn't tell me anything about him. She always said that I was her little miracle that I just sorta happened." He laughed thinking about her. "Obviously I didn't believe her."

Padme laughed. " How was it growing up in the Jedi temple? From what I hear it sounds difficult and draining."

"Its definitely alittle harder when your older than most of the younglings there. They all went there the moment they were born and as you know I was 10 when I started so I didn't really fit in with them. I think even some of the older Jedi looked down on me for that too."

"I understand. Going into politics so young I didn't have a whole lot of friend growing up either. They all though I thought I was more superior than them." She laughed. "Obviously they were right."

Anakin laughed. "Is there anywhere else you would like to go to mi- I mean Padme." He smirked.

She smiled. " There actually is one more place." She grabbed his hand and went back to the little boat they come in on and she directed him on where to go from here.

Once they arrived, Anakin hoped out of the boat extending his hand to help Padme out. They walked over to this patio area that over looked the beautiful lake and the few islands that were around.

Leaning against the banister and reminiscing about her times here. "We used to come here for school retreats. We would swim to that island everyday. I loved the water. I would lie out on the sand and let the sun dry me and try to guess the names of the birds singing." She smiled.

"I don't like sand. Its coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere." He chuckled." Not like here" He looks over at her with those blue eyes.

How is it possible to have eyes like that. She couldn't help but stare at them as he looked at her.

"Here everything is soft and smoothed," he said as he strokes her hand moving this hand to her exposed back.

She was so distracted by his eyes and his hand on her back. She didn't notice him leaning in and for some reason she noticed herself leaning in as well. He kissed her and she let it happened even kissing him back.

Wow. I've had a few kisses before in my life, but never like this.

After a few seconds, Padme finally snapped out of it and pulled away.

Remember the plan Padme. Don't mess this up.

"No. I shouldn't have done that." she looked away.

"I'm sorry." Anakin finally says.

After a few awkward minutes of them just standing there, Padme finally speaks.

"We should go its getting late."

"Padme really I'm sorry are you sure you wan-"

She interrupts him." Yes. Please, I'm tired lets go." She walks towards the boat leaving him there until he followed her a few seconds late. He got into the boat and drove them back to the lake house.

Once there Padme quickly runs up into her room and shuts the door. She falls on her bed thinking about how she should contact her master and tell him of the events that happened today, but all she could think about was that kiss.

The next morning after waking up and getting dressed, Padme goes down stairs to find Anakin standing outside looking at the lake.

"Are you ready to leave?"

Confused Anakin turns around to looked at her. "To where milady?"

Padme gives him a look for calling her that. "There is one more place I would like to show you."

"Are you sure? Even after.." he starts to say but doesn't want to finish.

"It's fine, Anakin. That was yesterday today is a new day." She turns around to leave with Anakin following.

After a few minutes of walking, they arrive to a grassy meadow with waterfalls everywhere. Padme can tell Anakin is in awe of the beauty as she was when she first found this place.

They sit down and enjoy their surroundings. They again start to talk about their childhood.

"So you are telling me someone with your beauty didn't have any boyfriends," he laughs noticing her blushing. "I don't believe you."

"I don't know.' She chuckles not wanting to tell him.

"Sure you did. You just don't want to tell me," he smirks.

"You gonna use one of you Jedi mind tricks on me?"

"They only work on the weak-minded."

Finally caving in. "All right. I was 12. His name was Palo. We were both in the Legislative Youth Program. He was a few years older than I. Very cute. Dark curly hair. Dreamy eyes." She smiles.

"Alright I get the picture." Clearly jealous. "Whatever happened to him?"

"I went into public service; he went to become an artist."

"Maybe he was the smart."

Slightly offended. "You really don't like Politian's, do you?"

"I like two or three," he smirks. "But I'm not really sure about one of them." He chuckles looking at her.

She smiles. He's kind of funny sometimes.

"I don't think the system works." he adds.

Slightly intrigued by where he is going with this. "How would you have it work?"

"We need a system where the politicians sit down and discuss the problem, agree what's in the best interest of all the people, and then do it."

"That's exactly what we do. The problem is people don't always agree."

"Well then they should be made to."

"By whom? Who's gonna make them? You?"

"I don't know. Someone. Of course not me"

"But someone."

"Someone wise."

Hmm that's an interesting take on the matter.

"Sounds an awful lot like a dictatorship to me."

"Well if it works."

Oh my gosh. Did he actually just say this. The people who are supposed to bring peace. Wait he's breaking a smile.

"You're making fun of me."

"No. I'd be much to scared to tease a senator." he started to laugh and smile and not that devious smirk he always seems to give an actually smile.

She smiles looking at him laugh.

"what's that over there?" pointing at a creature off in the corner.

Padme looks at what he is pointing at. "That's a Shaak. They are pretty common around here. They like to roam around the fields. Pretty harmless mostly nothing to worry about."

She looks over at him and he's smirking that devious smile again. She rolls her eyes.

"Don't even think about it," she says. But she was too late as he runs over to one of them and jumps on top of the one and starts to ride it like a bull.

Padme stands up and runs after him laughing.

Oh my gosh he's gonna get himself killed.

As she thought this, he saw him decided to stand up on top of the Shaak and trying to keep his balance as its runs trying to get him off. Padme laughs before noticing he lost his balance and fell off only to be trampled by the animal. He trys to get up and doesnt seem to have the strenght to get up.

"Anakin!" she shouts worriedly as she runs over to him.

I swear to god if he got himself killed by doing something as stupid as this. I will not live to speak the tale. Idiot!

She runs up tp him. "Ani? Ani are you alright?" She knells down and rolls him over to see him laughing the most she has ever seen him laugh. That jerk she thinks as she hits him over and over again on the chest. He grabs her arms and rolls with her around on the grass. He stops with her on top. They both try to catch there breathe from laughing so much. She looks into those blues.

Wow he grew up to be very handsome in the past ten years.

She rolls off of him and they just lay like that for the next hour just enjoying the peace and quite they both don't seem to get back home at Coruscant. After a while they decide to get up and make their way back over to the lake house for dinner.
