Yes, and every reader has a right to form an angry mob over me since I became a lazy teenager and havent posted in over 2 months. ( slaps herself in the face). well, yes I said this chapter would get the plot in it, but I just need to post, so the next one WILL! Please review for encouragment!
Padme couldn't decide what to say. She was just told that she would die soon. It could have been a dream, she told herself. But Anakin's dreams turned out to be premonitions of the future, or of the past. Padme knew about the visions Anakin had of his mother, and of the dreams he had of her.And she knew how clear they could be, and how they came true most of the time.
" It was probably just a dream, that's all," was all she could think of.
" Padme you know how dreams turn out for me," replied Anakin, pausing for a minute.
" Padme"
" Yes?"
" It will be my fault."
" What do you mean?"
" In my vision, you were crying, asking me how I could have done whatever I did to you. You just sat there, dying because I hurt you! I am so sorry Padme. I don't know how could ever…"
" Stop Anakin, please don't feel guilty for something that hasn't come true yet. You can prevent this. I know it." She put her hand through his hair, comforting him as best as she could. Tears from his fearful eyes traveled down her skin. She put her fingers on his lower chin as she raised it. " I hate seeing you like this, my love. I saw you like this when you were given the visions of your mother, and how much it tortured you. Please, Ani. Settle yourself to calmness. Maybe you can talk to Obi-Wan."
" We don't need Obi-Wan," he claimed.
" Anakin, he will find out soon anyway, including the council."
" We will let them find out on their own, but I just don't feel like this is the best time to talk to Obi-Wan. I do trust Obi-Wan with my life, but he is on the council. I don't want to put him in a position like that," explained Anakin. " But I will find a way to stop my vision from happening, Padme. I can't lose you." He stood up, gathering his wife in a warm embrace. Padme wanted to say more, but she didn't want to trouble her husband anymore. She wrapped her arms around Anakin's waist as his were around hers, resting her head on his chest. " I think everything will be fine. If you are worried I will die because of you, then just keeping loving me the way you do now, because I know that love will save me from anything." Anakin smiled, giving Padme a kiss. "I will always love you Padme, nobody could ever change that." Padme grinned.
" Then everything should be alright." Anakin smiled. Usually it was him who did all of the comforting, and Padme all of the worrying.
" Don't you have a meeting with the council tomorrow morning on Palpatine's offer?" asked Padme
" Yeah, but it won't be until later in the afternoon. I hope everything goes well," replied Anakin.
" Didn't you say they would make you a Master, since you would be on the council?" questioned Padme.
"Probably, but Ki-Adi- Mundi was a knight when he was put on the council, but they granted him mastery shortly after."
" Well, I do hope you move up to the next level, I can just imagine how happy you would be." Anakin looked at his wife, giving her
an ideal look.
" What are you about to suggest?" wondered Padme.
" How about we just stay out here for a while, and look at the city. Its just so gorgeous," said Anakin.
" Are you sure its getting cold," asked Padme. She sat down, smiling as Anakin gathered her in his robe and arms.
" There," he said. Padme gave a slight laugh as her husband gathered her in another warm embrace.

Lord Sidious sat on a large gray cushion. He was in a strong meditation, in a searching of Anakin. The Sith Lord wanted to know moods he was in, and what was troubling the Jedi Knight. Using powers of darkness, he saw the vision of Padme dying, and Anakin's reaction. Sidious smiled. This would be a perfect factor of turning around Anakin's way of using the force. I must act quickly, and sneaky, thought Sidious. Everything shall go as the original planning
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anakin spent hours of his time before the meeting searching the Jedi temple archives and libraries, but had no luck of finding a way to stop death. He tried talking to Master Yoda about his dilemma, but his suggestions did not please him. The elder Jedi Master's words were to let go of the ones you love. But this was Anakin Skywalker here. He wasn't the best at taking in the pain of losing a loved one.
Anakin sat in the temple cafe lounge, drinking his cup of mint tea. He was looking through an audomobile mechanics catalogue. The only interesting was the newest racing pod, but the last time he raced anything for a contest was thirteen years ago. Anakin sighed as he put the issue back on the magazine shelf. Finishing his tea, he glanced at the wall clock. Anakin had fourteen minutes until his meeting. He got up, put his empty cup on the shelf connecting to the kitchen, and headed for the council room.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The medium sized council room sat Jedi Masters in metal and red cushioned chairs. Some sat relaxed, others with perfect posture. Anakin senced a deal of displeasure from the council members, giving him slight nervousness.
" Allow this appointment lightly, the councl does not. Disturbing is this move by Chancellor Palpatine," pointed out Yoda with a concerning face and usual hand gesture.
"I understand," nodded Anakin.
" You are on this council, but we do not grant you the rank of Master," said Mace.Anakin emidiatley gave a look that was a cross between confusion and anger. " What?" he asked; shocked. " How can you do this! This is outrageous. Its unfair. How can you be on the council, and not be a master?" Anakin was definitly angry. This was a huge disappointment to him. Now he felt even more handled and pulled back than ever. He was the most powerfulJ edi alive, and they still wouldn't grant him mastery. This would be hard for him to accept.
The council members all looked at each other at Anakin's complaint. They were all very appaulded. It would be Mace to speak.
"Us council members will make you a Master when we feel you are ready. Control you temper and take a seat... young Skywalker."
" Forgive me Master," said Anakin as he obeyed, sitting in the chair Mace pointed at. Obi-Wan shook his head at Anakin's move. This is not how he would have liked this meeting to go.
For the rest of the meeting, Anakin stayed quiet in shame. Now he would just have to wait until it was over to talk to Obi-Wan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anakin and Obi-Wan power-walked down the carpet stairs.
" What is this noncense? Putting me on the Council and not make me a master? Its never been done in the history of the jedi. Its insulting!" cried Anakin.
" Anakin just calm down. Nobody as young as you has ever been placed on the council. You are lucky they even let you sit down in that chair in the first place! The fact of the matter is you are too close to the Chancellor. It doesn't please the council when he tries to interfere with Jedi affairs. They fear what your friendship between you and Palpatine may conclude to." explained Obi-Wan.
" Obi-Wan, I never asked to be on the council..."
" But it was what you wanted."
" But--"
" Anakin stop. I know this meeting was not how you wanted it to turn out. I am on your side." He paused. " I didn't want you t put you in a situation like this."
" What situation?" asked Anakin suspiciously. Obi-Wan sighed, looking down as he moved a few steps.
" The council wants you to report on all of the chancellor's deelings. They want to know what he's up to."
" How could the council ever expect me to to act upon treason practically spying on the Chancellor?"
" Anakin, we are at war"
" And why didn't the council give me this assignment in session?"
" The council wanted for this assignment not be be on record." Obi-Wan replied.
" Obi-Wan the Chancellor is not a bad man. He has befriended me, watched over me, and acted as if he was a teacher towards me ever since I arrived on Coruscant." expalined Anakin.
" And that is the very reason why you must help us. The jedi's alliagence is to the Senate not to its leader who still happens to be talking over the senate long after gis term has expired.!"
" True, but the Senate demanded that he stayed longer."
" True again Anakin but search your feelings. Something is out of place." Anakin began to walked towards the window.
"You're asking me to do something against the Jedi Code. Against the republic, against a mentor ,. . . and a friend. That's what's out of place here. Why are you asking this of me? " asked Anakin with a frustrated tone. Obi-Wan slightly looked down.
He looks back up at Anakin.
" The council is asking you. Remeber... I am on your side."
