Chapter 23: A Skywalker Wedding

Anakin, Padmé, Obi-Wan, R2-D2 and C-3PO all gathered on the terrace of Varykino, for the wedding.

After a quick exchange of vows, Anakin and Padmé kissed.

Obi-Wan smiled. "Congratulations, Anakin, Padmé," he murmured.

The newlyweds smiled gratefully at the Jedi Knight.

That night, Obi-Wan slept in the room furthest from the room the two lovers were occupying.


The following morning, Padmé looked at the two Jedi. "Be careful, both of you," she ordered.

"We will," Anakin promised.

"I'll do my best to keep Anakin out of trouble," Obi-Wan replied, smirking.

Anakin stuck his tongue out. "So, what was the comment about dumpster diving about?" Obi-Wan asked.

"Um, Leia was supposed to be executed, we freed her, and we had to jump in the dumpster to avoid the Imperials," Padmé replied.

"It's official, you Skywalkers are insane," Obi-Wan muttered. Anakin and Padmé both glared at Obi-Wan.

He shrugged and muttered, "It's true."

"Let's go, before you really get yourself into trouble," Anakin muttered, lugging his mentor out the door.


"Our cover story?" Obi-Wan asked as soon as they were out of Padmé's hearing.

"Senator Amidala wanted to make sure we both had a little time to meditate before she allowed us to leave, plus wanted to make sure we knew that when we returned, we check in with Captain Typho and her security team for security measures," Anakin replied instantly.

"Sounds good," Obi-Wan replied.
