Hey guys! Sorry for the slow up date! Life has been busy! I had church camp for a whole week to be packing and preparing for and as soon as I got back I preached a youth service so I had that on my mind and then all this week i've had VBS and im about to be out of town for another whole week this up coming week. Moral of the story? I've been busy. But no matter! Maybe we can make some progress on this story once again!

Chapter 5:

Padme and Ahsoka sat quietly in the resting chambers of the ship. Ahsoka had laid down to take a nap while Padme sat looking on her holopad. Ahsoka had not yet reached sleep but was well on her way there when Padme groaned loudly.

Ahsoka opened her eyes and spoke,"What's wrong?"

"Oh! The Hotel I had booked had a mix up and didn't get our reservations set properly."

"What are we going to do?"

"Well. We could stay at my lake house. It's a bit out of the way and I haven't stayed there in quite a while so assume the place is pretty dusty, but perhaps the cleaning droids are still operational."

"Sounds fun! I've never stayed in a lake house before."

"Not to sound boastful, but the scene is quite breath taking. Perhaps we can go for a swim tomorrow if we have the time."

"Maybe so. It'd be nice to swim without having a Karkarodon try to eat me for once!"

The two laughed merrily thinking back to their experience on Mon Cala.

"He just couldn't resist your charm." Padme laughed again.

"Yeah, surely that was it!"

"And who knows, that charm might take it's affect again tonight on some good looking young men." Padme smiled and bumped shoulders with Ahsoka.

Ahsoka blushed.

"I highly doubt that."

"I guess we'll just have to wait and see."

Anakin walked down the long halls of the Jedi Temple making his way to the hangar bay until He was stopped in his tracks by a familiar voice.

"Why Anakin, I expected you to enhance your apparel for such an occasion." Obi-wan smirked.

"Ha! Are you kidding me? Not even the council could get me in one of those monkey suits." Anakin said as the two began walking side by side down the halls.

"Hm. I'll have to remember that for the next time you are assigned to go under cover for a mission. I simply imagined you would dress more formally considering the senator of Naboo is involved." Obi-wan smirked.

"My duty as a security guard would be a challenge to fulfill if I was to wear anything else. Nice try master, but my jedi robes will work just fine."

The two had reached the hangar now. Anakin raised the glass door to his straighter.

"I just hope that you are as concerned for your duty then as you are now."

"Master, Haven't you learned that I'm responsible now. I've had Ahsoka as my padawan for two years now and she is still alive."

"But is her life because you have fulfilled your responsibility to protect her or is it because of her own capability to protect herself that has kept her alive?"

"Point is I am no longer a young, irresponsible punk of a padawan like I use to be. Now if you will excuse me, I should be on my way."

Obi-wan stepped back. The door sealed itself enclosing Anakin in the cockpit. The engines roared as the mechanical beast came to life and left the hangar.

"May the Force be with you."

I know. Short. But I'm trying out a new style of writing and with this style the story will progress a lot faster. I'm trying to leave out extra dialogue and I've stopped putting action sequences after every piece of dialogue. Like I said. It does make the chapters shorter, but it helps move the story along a lot faster as well. Next chapter will be a lot longer. I promise!

But anyways! I hope you enjoyed it! next chapter we will be jumping ahead to the ball so get ready!
