No!
Coruscant-
Medical Ward-
2 Days after the events on Geonosis
"D-do you think he'll ever wake up, Obi-Wan?" Padmé asked. She had asked that same question over and over again for the past two days. Ever since they had first arrived.
She was holding back tears now, looking worried out of her mind, as Anakin was still unconscious in the room in front of them.
"I'm sure he will…the medical droids said that he was improving," he mustered out, trying his best to sound convincing. The truth was he wasn't sure. The medical droids had talked to him earlier, saying only that he could go either way. Coma or consciousness. Padmé let out a pained sigh. Her distress for Anakin's health was overwhelming.
Did she care for him? No, she's just worried. They had been friends for ten years, and it was in her nature to be so caring. But, she was on the brink of madness! Obi-Wan thought as he eyed Padmé carefully. Of course he, himself was worried about his Padawan. But Anakin was a fighter; he had the force on his side.
Still, the monster in the arena had hit Anakin's skull pretty hard. One of the droids had shown him and X-Ray of his Padawan's skull. Anakin was lucky to be alive.
Padme's eyes flickered from holding back tears, although they glinted in the heavy overhead light. She hadn't stopped staring at him since they had arrived.
Obi-Wan coughed, and rested his hand over his mouth; he would think about their feelings for each other later.
He had looked away while he was thinking, and it startled him when he heard Padmé's soft gasp. She shot up, and raced towards Anakin's hospital bed.
Obi-Wan, confused as he was, looked up as well, and through the clear viewing glass he saw one thing.
Anakin was awake.
"Anakin!" Padmé rushed up to the awoken Jedi, and quickly wrapped her arm
around his body while kissing him hard. "You're…you're all right," she stumbled through her sentence, for she was crying now, her voice cracking at the very end.
Anakin's face was full of confusion, he looked lost and startled. Obi-Wan thought he should let them be alone for now, so he graciously dismissed himself from the room without saying a word.
The Senator was repeating 'Oh, Anakin,' continuously, while shedding more and more tears and placing kisses over his face.
Minutes passed.
Anakin hadn't said anything.
Nothing at all.
He was peering around the room now, trying to figure out where he was and why this girl was crying all over him. Then, despite her worry, she placed a passionate kiss on his mouth.
'What's going on?' Was the question being asked repeatedly since the time he had awoken. He was shocked that she kissed him, and Anakin broke away quickly.
"What are you doing?" he asked her sternly.
Padmé, who was desperate for his love, was surprised when he pulled away. The Anakin she knew would never do such a thing. She sat up, desperately searching his icy blue eyes for the Anakin she knew.
He was glaring at her, something that he would never have done, no matter how angry he got. She felt lost; while Anakin was lost.
"Why did you kiss me? What's going on? Where am I? Who are you?!" came a string of questions from Anakin's mouth.
She gulped back a sob, her worst nightmare had come true: Anakin's memory was gone.
At least, so she feared.
"Anni, you hit your head," she cooed quietly with a pained voice.
"Get off of me!" he shouted.
Anakin turned his head, so that it was facing the door and shouted,
"Nurse, help me!"
