Well everyone, I'm back! Okay so every day this week I will be posting a chapter of the two stories at least every day. Now I'll only be doing one a day, but I'm still posting. So enjoy, because today is Lion King 2.


Chapter 13- Love Will Find A Way

The crowd had left and returned to their homes. Obi0wab collapsed, weak, and was ushered back to his room. Now he was being treated by the healer, staring off into the distance.

"Father," Padme begged from the foot of his bed. "Please reconsider."

"You will not go anywhere without an escort from now on," Obi-wan said sternly, looking at her.

"No!" She complained. "That's not…"

"He used you to get to me," Obi-wan said.

"No! He loves me," Padme said on the verge of tears. "for me!"

"Because you are my daughter," he said harshly. "You will not leave Pride City. You will stay where I can keep an eye on you…away from him."

"You don't know him!"

"I know he's following in Dooku's foot prints," he said. "And I must follow in my father's."

"You will never be Qui-Gon Jinn!" Padme cried.

Obi-wan was stung, but silenced. Padme broke down and ran to her room, the door sliding shut. She lay down on her bed, sobbing. She spotted a stream of light shining through the curtains from the window. Determined, Padme grabbed her cloak and put it on, she then pushed her way through the window. She climbed down the side of the palace not making a sound. Once on the ground, she pulled up her cloak's hood and ran away from Pride City, in search of Anakin.

Padme tracked the same path Anakin took when he fled the city. She searched everywhere, but couldn't find him. She pulled down the hood off her head.

"Anakin?" She called out. "Anakin…"

She walked through the stream Anakin walked through earlier. She looked down at her reflection. Curiously, only half of her body was clear. She continued to look around. She looked even looked in the cave from when they were chased by reeks. Nothing.

"Anakin…"

As she continued her search, she took a trip down memory lane.

She decide to sing as the memories came to her.

'In a perfect world
One we've never known
We would never need to face the world alone.

They can have the world
we'll create our own
I may not be brave or strong or smart
But somewhere in my secret heart."

Padme looked up at the sky, seeing their rabbit and two Jedi in the stars, remembering.

'I know
Love will find a way
Anywhere I go
I'm home
If you are there beside me.'

She moved to a log overhanging the stream. She sat down on it, depressed. When she opened her eyes and peered at her reflection, she saw that it was, again, only half clear.

'Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way.'

She continued to move then sat down on a high knoll, her knees gathered to her chest and her hand on her knees.

Anakin approached Padme from behind her.

He started to sing too.

'I was so afraid
Now I realize
Love is never wrong
And so it never dies.'

Padme looked up and turned to notice Anakin.

'There's a perfect world
Shining in your eyes.'

They both sing.

'And if only they could feel it too
the happiness I feel with you.'

They came together and held each other.

'They'd know
love will find a way
Anywhere we go
We're home
If we are there together

Like dark turning into day
somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way.

I know love will find a way.'

They looked at each other and kissed passionately. They pulled apart as two butterflies flew around them and away. Anakin brightened up at the sight of them, and laughed, rushed off after them, with Padme in pursuit. They wrestled briefly, and then caught sight of themselves in a reflection.

"Hey, look," Anakin said smiling at Padme. "We are one."

Padme smiled back then realized what Anakin just said. She looked shocked.

"What?" she asked.

Anakin got to his feet, pulling he up with him.

"Let's get outta here," he said. "We'll run away together! And start a pride…all our own."

Padme chuckled.

"Ani," she said using the nickname. "But we're finally together!"

"Our place is with our people," she said. "If we run away, they'll be divided forever."

Anakin considered, but didn't seem and entirely convinced.

"Race you back!"

They ran off together, laughing.


Awww! How sweet! Tomorrow I'll update Death Watch.
