As Anakin and I left the council chambers, I was angry. I was beyond angry, I'm sure everyone in the temple could feel the dark energy rolling off of the both of us. We made our way to our small apartment in Coruscant. A little place Padme set up for us. As we entered the apartment, I lost all control.

"How could they do this? Do they enjoy watching us suffer? There is nothing that far in the outer rim to watch. It is Saesee, he has been trying to rip apart, ever since he became a council member. Why are you not on the council? You are the chosen one after all. What about Obi-Wan? He should have a seat as well. They have taken their power and abused it! I can no longer do this." I rushed to his side "my love, let us leave, let us leave the order right now. We could never return. We could go to Naboo where we married, have a family, just like we always talked about."

" Angel, I am angry to, but please let us think rationally. Obi-wan is going to catch Gevious and things will end." Anakin said to me

" You said you'd never leave me! It could be months before Obi-wan returns. Don't you see? They want to keep us apart! Since when are you the rational one?"

"Adrianna! Please! Please." He said grabbing my shoulders pulling me toward him. He kissed my head and then my lips.

"We must be calm, the war will be over soon. Things will change. I am the chosen one, I will change things. We will return to keepers of the peace." He began to ration

"You think that fulfilling the prophecy will get the council to change the change the code?That all of a sudden things will change? They are old men, stuck in their ancient ways." I said

Anakin looked at me, clearly this was getting us no where. He took my hand and started to walk us to our sleeping quarters. We laid down, and held each other.

I woke before Anakin, I had given thought to someone who could help us. Chancellor Palpatine. He has considerable influence over the council. He shouldn't have as much of a hold of the council as he does, but until he is removed as Chancellor, maybe there is hope.

I left my husband side. I looked down at his soft face and his long chestnut hair. I kiss is head tenderly "I will fix this, my love" and I left his side.

"C3P0, when Anakin awakes tell him that I am at the Jedi library, and I will contact him when I am done." I addressed the robot, that Anakin insisted that we keep.

"Yes, Mistress, may I suggest you eat something. The Jedi temple food is revolting, as I have heard you say on many occasions. I could have R2 run to get you favorite fruit." C3P0 inquired.

R2 responded with what I can only guess was a indignant reply.

"You will not rust over from a little rain, you tin can." C3P0, was quick with a retort.

I didn't have time for this, "no, do not require food this morning. Just do what I have asked you" I said putting at end to the robots fussing, and I walked to my ship.

I walked into the Chancellor office. "Ah, Adrianna, how are you my dear? Where is Anakin?" the Chancellor gleefully greeted

"Chancellor" I bowed. "Anakin is detained at the moment."

"It has been awhile my dear, what is it that I can do for you? You look distraught."

"Anakin has always said you are very perceptive."

"When one is as old as I am, people are easier to read, besides one does not become Chancellor without recognizing the needs of the people. Now tell me, what is the matter?"

"It is not a Knights places to question and doubt the decisions of the council, however, they are separating the strongest generals, for reasons that are, foolish at best. You over see all tactical areas of this war. As you yourself can see this would hurt the war rather then help it."

"Hmmm, I see. Which two generals would this be?"

"Anakin and myself"

"Well I should have known, the council never has liked the nature of you relationship with Anakin have they? I wonder what would happen if they found out about your courtship."

I looked at him surprised.

"Relax, child. I am old not not stupid. I can see it when you talk about each other. In fact it might be more then a courtship. Maybe a marriage?"

I continued to look a him, in silence. A old man, could clearly see what that of hundreds of wise Jedi could not.

"I will not tell. Your secret is safe with me. Anakin has told me of your force bond, I believe you call it. That it means that no matter the feelings you have for one another, that being happiness or hate, that you'll always be joined to each other, like twins, is that about right?"

"Yes, we have come to believe if such a bond is emotionally or physically severed, it could kill us. It is what makes us the great team we are. "

"Well, the council's decision to separate the two of will simply not stand. I can and will easily devise a reason for you to stay with your troops,to end this war."

"Thank you, Chancellor."
