Chapter Six: Safe

The trio stared out the windshield of the Twilight and sighed with relief.

"That was close, master," exclaimed Ahsoka.

"Isn't it always, Snips?" said Anakin causing Padmé to giggle at the exchange between her husband and the Padawan.

"Um, Ahsoka can I speak to you for a moment?" asked Padmé out of the blue.

Anakin and Ahsoka exchanged looks. "Sure Padmé. Anakin take charge and don't do anything stupid." Ahsoka ordered of her master. Anakin rolled his eyes.

"Sure thing Ahsoka." He mumbled.

Ahsoka rose from the pilot's seat and followed Padmé into the cargo bay. Ahsoka remembered when she had almost been thrown out into space via the cargo bay. She shuddered at the memory.

Padmé stopped and looked around the bay before turning to Ahsoka.

"What seems to be the matter, milady?" asked Ahsoka, a little concerned.

"I wanted to thank you Ahsoka." Padmé said with a small yet shy smile on her face. Ahsoka looked stunned.

"Thank me? For what?" she asked.

"For keeping Anakin safe." Padmé said still smiling at her 'Padawan-in-law'.

"Oh ah, no problem." Ahsoka said slightly blushing.

Padmé noticed Ahsoka's embarrassment and put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "No need to be embarrassed, Ahsoka. You would be surprised at how much Ani talks about you."

Ahsoka looked up at the senator in surprise. "Anakin talks about..." she forces out the word. "...me?" Padmé nodded.

"He sure does. Whenever he comes home he always tells me of your adventures together."

Ahsoka smiled at the thought of Anakin telling Padmé of their adventures and ignoring the fact that half the time they had to advise plans to either get themselves out of trouble or to generally stay alive.

"Thanks kind of him." Ahsoka said cheerfully. It had really had really her day

"He seems to be really close to you, like you're a sister to him." Padmé said as a lop-sided grin covered her facial features. There was no doubt that being married to Anakin had rubbed off on her as she now shared a few of the same smiles.

"Anakin has that same smile," Ahsoka quoted. "Looks like that being married to him has rubbed off...big time."

Padmé laughed. "I guess you could say that. He is my husband after all." The Senator smiled at the word 'husband'. Before either Padawan or Senator could speak, Anakin was calling them from the cockpit.

"We're approaching Naboo!" he called to them. Ahsoka and Padmé exchanged looks before heading back into the cockpit.

Padmé smiled as she watched her home planet came into view.
