Chapter Twenty: A friendly goodbye

Two days after the shouting match between Anakin, Sola and Ahsoka, Padmé felt a lot better knowing that her Jedi of a husband her Padawan-in-law were getting along again however, she couldn't shake the feeling that she would only get to see Sola once more in her life. She was glad that she got the chance to see her sister again and allow her to get to know Anakin better. The morning of the day of Sola's return to Naboo was somewhat slow.

Padmé stood on the balcony of her apartment just after dawn to gather her thoughts about Sola's departure. Everyone else was asleep. Ahsoka had gone back to the Jedi Temple because the other Younglings and Padawans had gotten suspicious of Ahsoka's disappearance after her return to Coruscant after her second venture to Naboo with Anakin, Sola and Padmé. Anakin was fast asleep on the couch and Sola was asleep in the spare bedroom just off Padmé's apartment.

She was brought out of her thoughts when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Milady?"

Padmé turned around to see Ahsoka standing behind her.

"Oh Ahsoka. Hi. I thought-"

"That I was Anakin." Ahsoka said finishing her sentence for her.

"Yeah." Padmé said with a sigh.

"I have that impression on everyone." Ahsoka said smugly.

"Just like Anakin." Padmé said with a soft chuckle and shake of her head.

"Did I hear you talking about me?" Anakin said from behind them.

"Sky guy! Don't do that! You almost gave me a heart attack."

Anakin laughed. "I get that a lot."

Ahsoka rolled her eyes.

"True. Too true." Padmé said as she went to hug him.

"Morning to you too." Anakin said as he kissed her hair.

"What about me?" Ahsoka said raising her hairless eyebrows.

"You too Snips." Anakin said with a smile.

Padmé sighed unhappily.

"What's wrong? You upset about Sola leaving?" Anakin asked.

"Yeah. It was nice to have her here. It's been the longest time since we've had a proper conversation." Padmé said in a small voice.

"Yeah. It's been nice getting to know her." Ahsoka said in agreement. She didn't admit it out loud but she had fondness for Sola and her political knowledge. She would always admire Padmé but she could have allies that were involved in politics couldn't she?

"She's a great woman. She's like you in ways you don't realise." Anakin said as he thought of ways to be positive about Sola. He and Sola still didn't see eye to eye but he did realise now that Sola was another version of Padmé.

"She's nothing like me." Padmé said as she broke Anakin's grasp on her and went to stand at the railing.

Anakin and Ahsoka exchanged glances of confusion before going to stand on either side of the Senator.

"Do you have more respect for her now?" Padmé asked Anakin.

Anakin panicked. What was he going to say? He couldn't lie.

"I have a little bit more respect for her." He said trying to keep the panic out of his voice.

"That's the truth too." Ahsoka added.

Padmé laughed. "You are truly Anakin Padawan, Soka."

"Where have I heard that before?" she teased.

Anakin chuckled and shook his head. He could now see what Padmé saw. Ahsoka had become so much like him that she was now acting like him.

"Morning." Sola said out of nowhere.

The others jumped and turned around to see Sola dressed and ready to finish her packing.

"Morning, milady." Said Ahsoka with a smile aimed at her friend.

"Morning Ahsoka," Sola replied. "Ready to go?"

"I thought you were going home at noon." Anakin said.

"I am. You lot don't even look like you're ready." Sola said smugly.

She was right. The others hadn't even had breakfast or gotten ready to see her off. After a silent breakfast, Padmé changed into casual clothing before going to help Sola finish her packing.

Anakin didn't know whether to be upset to see his sister-in-law leave or not. Sure they hadn't found common ground this time round but if they had to work together in the near future they would have to find common ground for the sakes of Padmé and Ahsoka who admired their cooperation this time round.

"Master, can I ask you something?" Ahsoka said after 45 minutes of pure silence.

"Of course, Snips. Anything." Anakin said looking up from his comlink.

"Why don't you and Sola agree on anything? Is it because of a grudge of what?" Ahsoka asked.

"Oh ah. It's not a grudge per se. It's more like a disagreement. We have different views on certain things. Like for you and I don't always agree do we? Like for instance, you had a different about the Hutts. You can neither hate them or like them. For me, It's a childhood thing. Like I said I hate Hutts. That's just me." Anakin said trying to explain it as easily as he could.

"Ok. But what does have to do with Sola?" Ahsoka asked clearly confused.

"Don't worry little one. You'll understand it someday." Anakin said wisely.

Padmé suddenly appeared beside Ahsoka with a grim expression on her face.

"You alright?" Anakin asked looking up at the expression on his wife's face. He took her hands in his own.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Padmé said in a grim tone. She couldn't meet her husband's eyes. Ahsoka wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

"You don't want Sola to go so soon do you?" She said realising what was wrong.

"I thought she would stay a little longer. It's been the longest time since she hasn't been tempted to tease me about my love life. I forgot to add that in our earlier conversation." Padmé said glumly.

"That's it?" Anakin asked in a teasing tone.

Ahsoka gave her master the 'not now' look she had come up with during their many missions together.

"Sorry." Anakin said giving Ahsoka his 'damn it' look.

"I think I'm ready to go." Sola said emerging from her room with her bags in hand.

She looked over at her sister to see the glum expression on her face. "You alright?"

Ahsoka helped Padmé to her feet while Anakin headed over to Sola and helped her with the baggage.

"She doesn't want you to go." Ahsoka clarified.

"Oh, Padmé. I'll come to visit once and a while. Besides, you've got your Senator duties to tend to. You won't have time to miss me." Sola said as she went over to hug her sister.

"Come on you lot. Let's get to the landing bay. Ahsoka come help me with these." Anakin said breaking up the moment.

Ahsoka hurried to her master's side and grabbed the two leftover bags at Anakin's feet.

"Way to kill the moment, Anakin." Ahsoka muttered as she and Anakin headed for the doors of the apartment.

"We heard that!" Sola said loudly.

"Damn it!" Ahsoka muttered.

Padmé and Sola were that Ahsoka and Anakin's heels within seconds. They knew better then to trigger Anakin's temper. Padmé knew only too well of what Anakin's temper was capable of. She had been told of what his wrongdoings from Anakin himself. The massacre of an entire Tusken Raider village after the death of Anakin's mother, Shmi was a massive wake up call for Padmé to notice when Anakin was in a bad mood.

The walk down to the Coruscant landing bay was quiet. No one spoke a word. They were greeted by Captain Typho.

"Master Skywalker. Ahsoka," He said bowing his head to Anakin and Ahsoka.

"Captain," Ahsoka and Anakin said in the same manner.

The captain then turned to Padmé and Sola.

"Miladies," he said bowing to them in the same manner he had with Anakin and Ahsoka.

"Captain," the sisters said in the matter as their Jedi counterparts.

I'm ready to go, Captain." Sola said as she stepped forward taking two of her bags from Ahsoka.

"Very well, my lady." Typho said as he took Sola's other bags from Anakin.

Sola exited the ship and went over to bid farewell to Padmé and the Jedi.

"I hope you behave yourself while I'm gone," she said as she hugged Ahsoka.

"I'm sure Anakin will that into account," Ahsoka said with a giggle.

"I sure will."Anakin said as Sola went over to lightly punch him in the shoulder.

"As for you my dear sister, look out for Anakin and Ahsoka and they'll do the same for you. You chose the right man to marry. If you're happy, I'm happy for you." Sola said giving Padmé one last hug.

"Take care, Sola." Padmé said as Sola headed aboard her ship.

"I will. I won't say a word to our parents about you and Anakin. I'll keep it from Darred and the girls too." Sola said reassuringly.

Padmé stepped forward to stand beside Ahsoka.

Typho climbed aboard the ship and closed the ramp behind him. Anakin put an arm around Padmé as they and Ahsoka watched the ship descend toward Naboo.
