9. Love blossoming on Naboo

Chapter 9

Love blossoming on Naboo

On board the AA-9 Coruscant Freighter, the many refugees on board did whatever they could to pass the many hour long journey towards Naboo. Some went to catch some sleep, playing boardgames, reading a book, listening to the whatever there was to be seen on the many channels on the Holonet, or eating food that was served on board.

In the waiting line, R2-D2 was between the many human refugees to take some food from the food counter for Anakin, Dia and Padmé. Many in the line didn't cared that the astromech droid was taking something for his owner, but as R2 took some flatcakes and placed them one by one on a plate, a cafeteria servant droid wanted to shoo away R2 "Hey, you! No droids! Get outta of here!"

R2 beeped raspberries at the rude servant droid and went his way with a plate full of flatcakes, joining Anakin, Dia and Padmé at one of the tables.

When R2 placed the plate on the table for them, Padmé thanked her droid companion "Thank you, R2."

Dia nodded to R2 and took a few flatcakes on her plate.

"Must be difficult, having sworn your life to the Jedi," Padmé said to Anakin and Dia.

Dia gave a shrug "It's not as bad as it seems, senator. And honestly, we're not exactly stuck at the Jedi Temple like being locked in a cage or something."

Anakin nodded and added "We still have some freedoms to go wherever we want to go, when at least the other Jedi know where we're going as we need to be available at all times." But then hide a little blush as he and neither Dia hadn't always told where they specifically went to or that they sneaked out of the Temple as when they were dating.

Dia could sense what Anakin was thinking and both exchanged a glance, with her forming a small blush too.

Padmé nodded in understanding, though she did feel sorry for both of them "But still, that must be hard. Not being able to visit the places you like or do the things you like."

"Or with the people that I love." Anakin added.

Padmé looked up at Anakin with a raised eyebrows, while Dia's heart froze for a moment as she could sense as it Anakin was referring to her.

"Are you allowed to love?" Padmé asked with surprise "I thought that was forbidden for a Jedi."

"Attachment is forbidden. Possession is forbidden." Anakin explained, but then added his own thoughts into it as he shook his head "But that's the problem with the Jedi Code these days, when it comes to love. You see, compassion, which could be defined as unconditional love, is central to a Jedi's life." That made Anakin chuckle "So, if we're taught never to form any attachments, then why are we encouraged to love? To me… there's nothing wrong to love, even for a Jedi."

As how Anakin was explaining it, Padmé was impressed as he's not afraid to speak out his mind and explaining his point of view with such wisdom. She formed a sweet smile "You've changed so much."

Anakin felt modest "Well… you've got my master, Qui-Gon to thank for." but then he glanced at Dia, as if his eyes were already saying; And I have to thank you as well, Dia….

Dia formed a sweet smile. She just wanted to hug him… Heck, kissing him right now. But she held herself and went on eating her flatcakes.

Padmé then wandered and asked both of them "So, how do you two know each other?"

Anakin answered first "We've actually been friends since the first day I arrived at the Jedi Temple."

"Really?"

Dia nodded and said after swallowing her bite "Yeah. My Jedi master, Benjako Dalkai and Master Qui-Gon both share the same view about obeying the true will of the Force. But also because Anakin and I have some things in common about our past… that we both were born into slavery."

That surprised Padmé a bit "You were a slave like Anakin too?"

Dia sighed as she nodded "Yes. I was born on Nar Kreeta, but shortly after I was born, me and my parents were sold to a Hutt named Jerva Blicho, who sponsored Podracing matches on Malastare." She became a bit uncomfortable, as her first years of her life living as a slave were hard for her and her parents "My father had to work in the mines… while my mother was… forced to work as a…" words failed her and shook her head, as the memory of her mother being forced to work as a stripper and being taken advantage of was hard for her.

Padmé could only guess what Dia's mother had to work as, but could understand as she knew that Twi'Lek slave-women were mostly sold into, and knowing from experience that it wasn't easy for Anakin as well to live as a slave back on Tatooine "Hey, I understand if you don't want to talk about it."

Dia shook her head "No, senator, it's… alright." Dia began to tell what her mother was "My mother was forced to work as… a stripper."

Padmé now understood now "Oh. I… I see. Then, how did Master Dalkai saved you?"

It wasn't easy for Dia to talk about it, but feeling she could trust Padmé, Dia told her in full detail what happened on the day that she and her family were saved from slavery, with Benjako Dalkai investigating on Jerva Blicho's activities and possible rumors of using enslaved people, with Dia being moved to the stripclub where her mother worked, finding her mother being taken advantage off, nearly raped, with Dia using the Force for the very first time and saved her mother from those disgusting men, telling that Benjako found her, finding therefor enough evidence and had arrested Jerva Blicho.

Dia's eyes began teary, with Anakin holding her hand under the table, which comforted her.

Padmé was in shock to hear this tale, but was thankful that Dia was able to safe her mother "By the Force… Dia, that's… horrible. But thank goodness Master Dalkai had freed you and your parents."

Dia nodded "Yeah… Master Dalkai even wanted me to… train me as a Jedi. But, I… At first I didn't wanted to, as it meant I would never see my parents again. But… my mother and father encouraged me to go. So, I agreed to go, if Master Dalkai promised that he would bring my parents to a safe planet where they won't have to be slaves again," Dia smiled while a tear fell from her eye "He brought them safely to Ryloth… That's where we had our… final goodbye." Dia wiped away her tear "I still miss them a lot," but then she smiled "but I can feel that they're safe… and happy."

Padmé smiled too, feeling glad for her that her parents at least have a chance to live a normal life, away from slavery. Then she wandered "And… when Master Dalkai brought you to the Jedi Temple, I take the Council didn't allowed you to be trained at first?"

Dia shook her head "No. They weren't sure at first because I was too old, as I was 6 at that time. But after some long discussions with the council members, especially with Master Yoda, they eventually agreed that I am allowed to be trained by Benjako," she smiled at the memories she shared when training under her master and the many missions across they galaxy they shared, then thinking back on when she first met Anakin "I am truly grateful for him being my master," she then shared a smile at Anakin "and the friends I have made." Though her voice said 'friends', her eyes were showing nothing but love, which made Anakin smile.

Padmé could see the smile that Anakin gave Dia, making her rose her eyebrow in confusion, thinking what was truly on their minds. But she quickly dismissed it and just went along eating her food 'No. It's silly to think such things' she mentally told herself that Anakin and Dia couldn't possibly be more than just friends.

Many hours later, on Naboo

The AA-9 Coruscant Freighter made its landing at the designated spaceport.

Anakin, Dia, Padmé and R2-D2 took a transportation ship to the capital of Naboo, the city of Theed. After the transportation ship landed at the square, Anakin, Dia and Padmé walked across the square, heading to the Theed Palace, with R2 droving after them.

Anakin began to tell how he felt when starting training under Qui-Gon "When I first started my training, I was very homesick," but then he smiled when glancing at Dia "But Dia was there for me, as she knew how it feels to be homesick, away from your family,"

Dia smiled at Anakin before glancing around the beauty of the capital of Naboo "I must say, Senator Amidalla, I have been to many planets across the galaxy, but I never have been to Naboo. It's very beautiful. The smell of flowers… the nice waterfalls."

Anakin chuckled as he added "Reminds me when I first arrived at Naboo. It would've been a more nicer first impression if it wasn't for the Trade Federation's occupation," but then felt a bit awkward and told Padmé quickly "Uhh… no offense."

Padmé smiled at him "None taken." She then sighed as she began to tell her first experience when arriving at Theed "When I first saw the capital I was very young, having never seen a waterfall before. I thought they were so beautiful," she then chuckled "I never dreamed that one day I would be living in the palace."

Anakin then wandered, though teasing her a bit "Tell me; did you dream of power and politics when you were a little girl?"

Padmé shook her head "No, that was the last thing I thought of." She then of course admitted "I wasn't the youngest queen ever elected, but now that I think back on it, I wasn't sure if I was old enough. Not sure if I was ready."

Dia said "Well, senator, from what I've heard, is that the people you served thought you did a good job. I even heard that you were so popular that they even tried to amend the constitution so you could stay in office. So I wander, why didn't you do it?"

Padmé sighed, thinking back of when she was offered to serve longer as queen, possibly even for a lifetime as she was so immensely popular with the population. But, she told Dia with honesty "Well, I was modest about it as they almost begged me to stay. I admit that it was tempting, thinking that I could help the people of Naboo much longer, but… then I remembered something that I learned a long time ago; that popular rule is not democracy. It only gives the people what they want, not what they need. So, I politely declined to stay longer in office. And frankly, when look back about my decision, I was relieved when my two terms were up, so were my parents. They were very worried about me during the blockade. I couldn't wait for it all be over."

Dia nodded.

Then Anakin asked her "And… if you hadn't stayed in politics and became a senator, what would you have become then?"

Padmé was a bit shy to say it. But she told "Actually… I'd hoped to have a family of my own by now. My sister, Sola, has the most amazing kids. But when the queen asked me to serve as senator, I couldn't refuse her."

"I agree with her," Anakin said "I think the Republic needs you. I'm glad that you chose to serve."

Padmé formed a small smile.

Later, in the throne room

Padmé was having a discussing with Queen Jamillia and the Naboo Royal Advisory Council about the current situation at the Senate and what had happened to her, having nearly been assassinated twice.

The queen and the royal council were shocked by this, but also surprised that neither the Senate or the Jedi Order had informed them about this, nor their decision that the senator should stay hidden on Naboo till the one who ordered the attacks on her would be caught. But after Anakin and Dia told them why this was left in the dark, the queen and the council understood that this had to be kept quiet and not causing any attention.

Padmé told the queen and the council, standing strong in her believes to keep the peace and hold on to negotiate with the Separatists "If the Senate votes to create an army, I'm sure it's going to push us into a civil war."

"It's unthinkable," the governor of Naboo, Sio Bibble said "There hasn't been a full-scale war since the formation of the Republic."

Queen Jamillia then asked Padmé "Do you see any way through negotiations to bring the Separatists back into the Republic?"

However, Padmé shook her head "Not if they feel threatened." Then she stated with narrowing eyes "My guess is they'll turn to the Trade Federation or the Commerce Guilds for help."

Sio Bibble then spoke with anger that after 10 years, there still hasn't been given justice for all the crimes that the Trade Federation has committed to the people of Naboo "It is outrageous. That after four trials in the Supreme Court, Nute Gunray is still the Viceroy of the Trade Federation." He then sighed with worry "I fear the Senate is powerless to resolve this crisis."

However, Queen Jamillia still had hopes that this crisis could be resolved diplomatically "We must keep our faith in the Republic." As she stood up from her throne, the rest of the Royal Council and Padmé rose from their chairs too "The day we stop believing democracy can work is the day we lose it." Queen Jamillia told her.

Padmé nodded as Jamillia's wise words are true indeed, but hoped that it will never come to that "Let's pray that day never comes."

"In the meantime, we must consider your own safety." Queen Jamillia suggested.

Sio Bibble then asked Anakin "What is your suggestion, Master Jedi?"

But Anakin reminded the governor "Oh, I'm not a Jedi Master yet. I'm still a Padawan Learner and Dia here is a Jedi Knight," but thinking ahead as they were going to suggest where Padmé should be staying for her safety "But, since we're considering Senator Amidala's safety," he turned to Padmé "I assume that because you're more familiar with your home-planet, I take you must have a number of places that may be safe for you to stay?"

Padmé was a bit surprised that Anakin was suggesting it before she would even suggest herself, but smiled "Yes, that's right. I was thinking I would stay in the Lake Country. There are some places up there that are very isolated."

Dia agreed to that "That may be a good idea. A more isolated area far from the cities would certainly decrease the changes of Senator Amidala being discovered."

Queen Jamillia nodded as they left the throne room "Perfect. It's settled, then."

A few hours later, at the Lake Country

Arriving at the Lake Country, which was a few hours away from the city of Theed, they arrived at the Varykino Villa, which was also the estate belonging to Padmé's family, being on the big island of the lake.

On a speeder-boat, R2-D2 was the first that went on deck himself followed by Anakin before helping Dia and then Padmé, who was now wearing a yellow/pink dress, which showed her whole back. Secretly, though still denying it a bit, Padmé was actually wearing her more 'revealing dress' to try to impress Anakin and hopefully seduce him a bit. Anakin did admit that Padmé looked ver beautiful in that dress, but his mind was only on Dia, with both of them sharing a small smile as they walked with Padmé to the villa while a few servants collected their bags.

Around the villa, there were a few dozen Royal Security Guards stationed, which Queen Jamillia had provided for Padmé's security.

Dia stated, as she looked around "I have to admit, Senator Amidala. You've chosen a very good place to hide for the time being."

Padmé sighed, still not liking the idea of hiding for her own safety even a bit, but did shared a smile as she and her family shared many good memories they spend at her family's lake house "Thank you, Dia." As they entered the garden, Padmé told them "We used to come here for school retreat," she then pointed to the smaller island less than a mile away from the villa "Me and my sister used to swim to that island every day. I love the water."

"Did your family always owned this place?" Anakin asked.

"It was bought by my great-grandfather," Padmé stated "It first belonged to the famous Naboo poet Omar Berenko."

That was when suddenly two children ran out of the villa, meeting them "Aunt Padmé!" both yelled in excitement.

Padmé looked in both surprise and happiness and hugged them both "Ryoo! Pojaa!" as she broke the hug, she asked "What are you two doing here?!"

Anakin could sense from Dia that she was the one who'd arranged it all.

Dia told Padmé "Forgive me, senator. I thought, since you hadn't seen your family for a while, I figured it was perhaps a good idea to bring them here to say hello, and spend some quality time with them."

Padmé glanced in surprise at Dia. Though her first thing to say was to say that it wasn't wise to bring them to the family estate to avoid suspicion, Padmé smiled and was thankful that Dia had arranged all this as she hadn't seen her family in almost a year. She thanked the Twi'Lek Jedi by giving her a hug.

Padmé then saw her older sister, Sola, along with her parents, Jobal and Ruwee.

"Mom! Dad! Sola!" Padmé greeted her family and shared a hug with them.

"Oh, Padmé. It's so good to see you again." Her mother, Jobal said.

"We've been worried." Sola added.

Not long after, they had gathered at the dining table for lunch. As they hadn't eaten much in the freighter on the way to Naboo, Padmé was starved.

"Well, thank you again for arranging this, Master Zebb, to meet our daughter again after such a long time." Ruwee chuckled.

Dia nodded to him "Thank you, Mr. Naberrie. However, I'm not a Jedi Master, yet. I'm only a Jedi Knight and Anakin is a Padawan Learner."

Jobal again shared how thankful she was that Padmé had come back safely "Honey, it's good to see you again safe. We were so worried."

"Dear," Ruwee called to his wife, clearly showing that they already mentioned how worried there were.

Jobal apologized as she raised her hand "I know, I know. But I had to say it. Now it's done."

Sola then told Anakin "Did you know, Anakin, you're the first boyfriend my sister's ever introduced to us?"

Hearing that part made Dia nearly choke in the bite she just took.

Padmé sighed with annoyance as she told her sister, though hiding a deep blush "He's NOT my boyfriend. Anakin is a friend. We've been knowing each other for years." She explained "He and Dia are assigned by the Senate to protect me."

"Jedi? As bodyguards?" Jobal asked in near shock "Oh, Padmé. They didn't told us it was that serious." She said as her worry increased.

Padmé however told her mother, saying with a little lie in order not to make her family more worried about her than they already are "It's not, I promise. I'm not in any danger."

Ruwee however narrowed his eyes, knowing that his youngest daughter was hiding the truth from them, and asked her with a bit of sternness "Do you really think that we're blind, Padmé? That we're not aware of anything that happens in the galaxy?"

Padmé sighed and tried to explain to her father "No, Dad… that's not-"

"Then what, Padmé?" Ruwee asked again with the same sternness.

"Honey!" Jobal called to her husband.

Seeing that Padmé still wasn't going to answer his question, he asked Anakin and Dia "Is my daughter in danger?"

Anakin and Dia exchanged a short glance, clearly already agreeing it was best for them to know the truth "Yes… I'm afraid she is." Dia said.

This was something that Padmé rather wanted to avoid, but the damage has already been done. She sighed, knowing that she never could hide anything from her father.

Later, after lunch, while Padmé, Jobal and Sola did the dishes together, Padmé apologized to her family "I'm sorry that I hadn't said anything. I just… I didn't wanted to make you worried about me."

"Well we were, Padmé." Jobal said. She sighed before saying "Look, honey, I understand you try to protect us, but by hiding your own family from the truth is never the solution. I thought we'd learned you that?"

Padmé nodded, feeling sad about this "I'm sorry, mom… Both of you."

Sola shared a hug with her sister "It's okay, Padmé. Just don't lie to us, okay? We're here for you."

"I know." Padmé nodded and both returned to do the dishes.

As Sola was cleaning the plates, she noticed Padmé was looking at Anakin, who was going outside with Dia and Ruwee. Sola teased her little sister "He's cute, isn't he?"

Padmé, being a bit dreamy, gave a nod, but then gasped and elbowed her "Sola!" she moaned annoyingly, before she sighed and stated, though hiding a blush "He's… just a boy."

Again, Sola teased her "A boy who you got the hots for, right, Padmé?"

"Sola, stop it!" Padmé groaned, brushing the plate a bit rougher "Anakin and I are… friends." That last word 'friends' came with a bit of uncertainty "Our relationship is… strictly professional."

"C'mon now, Paddie," Sola smirked at her sister "I've seen the way you've been looking at him ever since you've arrived here."

Padmé tried to ignore her sister, though she was clearly unsuccessful in hiding her feelings for Anakin. She looked at her mother, who smiled at her, as she recognized it was the same look on her face and her way of trying to deny her feelings when she was in love with Ruwee when she was Padmé's age.

Padmé sighed and finished cleaning the last dishes. She stared at Anakin again from the window and blushed again.

Outside, Ruwee was having a private talk with Anakin and Dia, wanting to know how far she's in danger "Tell me, Anakin and Dia, how serious is this threat? How much danger is my daughter really in?"

Anakin told Padmé's father with honesty "There have been two attempts on her life. But I guess you already knew?"

Ruwee nodded "Besides from the rest of my family, I do keep an eye on what's been told at the Holonet news," but he shook his head and asked "But, these two attempts on my daughter's life won't be the only times they'll try to kill her?"

Anakin and Dia shook their heads, with Dia telling him "Chances are they will try again. Anakin's master is tracking down the assassins. If the Force wills it, the perpetrators will be caught soon. But for the meantime, your daughter has to stay here till we know for sure it's safe."

Ruwee then told them with a mixture of seriousness and worry for Padmé "I don't want anything to happen to her."

Anakin ensured him "We'll protect your daughter, Mr. Naberrie. You have our word."

Ruwee shared a nod, knowing he could trust Padmé's safety and security to the two Jedi.

Later, Anakin and Dia were doing a few checks on security around the villa and the island. As bodyguards, they would be around Padmé most of the time, but as Dia felt that Padmé deserves some time alone with her family, they let them be, but promised they would remain close if they would sense anything suspicious.

After returning together at the villa, being sure that security was in check at the other side of the island, Anakin and Dia walked around the courtyard "Glad to see the other side of the island is secured enough. Even if it's only a tiny trespasser, the guards will alert us in time."

Anakin nodded. He took a glance inside from a window, seeing Padmé was playing a game of alien chess with her father, while Jobal was reading a nice story from a children's book to Ryoo and Pojaa. He smiled, seeing that they were all enjoying themselves. Anakin then walked back to Dia and both decided to take a walk by the lake, knowing that Padmé and her family were safe for the time being.

After ten minutes, both stopped at a small balcony, standing next to each other while looking at the lake.

Dia broke the silence as she began to tell while remembering her traumatic experience back on Felucia years back "Let me tell you, Ani, the creatures on Felucia were an absolute nightmare. Especially those big spiders that nearly swallowed me whole…"

Anakin placed his hand on Dia's, softly rubbing it and said with sympathy "I can only imagine what you had to go through, Dia."

Dia formed a small smile as Anakin holding her hand made her feel a bit better. As she stared back at the water, she told "By looking at this beautiful lake here, it reminds me of the planet Scarif, where me and Master Benjako went, so I could recover from my horrible experience on Felucia."

Anakin raised an eyebrow at her "You really went to Scarif? I thought Master Dalkai took you on a pilgrimage so you could…" but then chuckled, as it was something that Benjako would tell to cover his real plans, which is something that even Qui-Gon would've done for Anakin if he was in Dia's situation "Right. I get it now. I only read a few things about Scarif, mostly about the number of special resources that are on the planet which could be used to build starships, and only a bit about how it's a true tropical paradise. It must've been nice for you to spend a few weeks on that planet."

Dia nodded "It sure was… I really loved swimming in the ocean. Swimming close to those amazing and beautiful sea creatures… then relaxing on one of the sandy beaches and sunbath… while listening to the waves of the sea and the many birds that were singing."

Anakin scoffed a bit at the sand part "Not that I don't approve of you sunbathing, it's just… I don't like sand. It's course and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere."

Now, Dia softly rubbed his hand, knowing why he was feeling like that about sand "I understand. It's because sand reminds you too much of your home-planet Tatooine, right? But at least you've saved your mother," she then gave a shrug "So, at least you have something wonderful waiting there for you."

Anakin nodded, forming a smile too and both "Yeah. Apart from all the irritating desert sand, at least my mother and my new family are the only thing that makes to eventually go back to Tatooine." He then looked at her and feeling her arm "Not like here. Here, everything is soft… and smooth…"

Dia could feel his finger going up from her arm… to her shoulder. She felt his soft touch on her left Lekku, making her feel warm, giving a soft moan.

Both looked at each other, staring into their eyes… Anakin just couldn't describe what he was feeling as Dia's eyes were so beautiful.

They slowly leaned in and shared a kiss that lasted for a few seconds and turned into a more deep and passionate kiss which lasted for five minutes before they finally separated.

Both smiled, not sharing a word, as this moment they shared was more than enough to show that they were truly back together.

A small tear of happiness fell from Dia's eyes before both embraced into another deep kiss.

But hearing someone coming, both quickly separated and pretended to look at the lake together. It was one of the security guards that walked up to them, stating "Master Jedi. Communications has been improved at the westside of the estate, as you requested."

The two Jedi glanced at the guard, with Anakin nodding at him "Thank you for letting us know."

The guard nodded and returned to his post.

As soon as the guard was gone, Anakin and Dia looked back at each other, with Anakin whispering to her "To be continued…?"

Dia gave a small giggle before she nodded and whispered back "To be continued…"

A few hours later, after dinner, Padmé shared a bit of emotional goodbye with her family, with Ryoo and Pooja sobbing as they shared a hug with Padmé.

Padmé rubbed their bags, ensuring them "Don't worry. We'll see each other again soon. Okay?"

Ryoo and Pooja both nodded.

Padmé shared one last hug with her parents, then her sister.

Sola whispered in Padmé's ear "If you need some advice to get closer to him, I could tell you a thing or two."

Padmé blushed very deep when Sola offered to give her advice on how she could get closer to Anakin, possibly even seduce him.

Sola chuckled and ensured her as she whispered "Just think about it. If you do want my help, you can always call me." she gave her a wink and left with her parents together with her two children.

Padmé waved them goodbye as they entered the speeder-boat that would take them to their transportation ship, bringing them back home.

Anakin and Dia walked up to Padmé, with Anakin asking her "You alright?"

Padmé nodded while wiping away a tear "Yeah. It's… always painful to say goodbye to them," she then sighed and turned to Dia "Thank you so much for doing this for me, Dia."

Dia formed a smile "You're welcome, senator."

"Please. Just call me Padmé."

Dia gave her a nod "Very well… Padmé."

Padmé thought, now that her family had gone home, that perhaps she and Anakin could spend more time together. However, feeling tired of the long journey and also spending a good time with her family, Padmé told them "Well… I think I'm gonna catch some sleep. See you both tomorrow."

"Alright," Anakin said "Sleep tight, Padmé."

Padmé gave Anakin a sweet smile before heading to her room, with R2 coming with her.

After Padmé had left, Dia suggested to Anakin "So… you want to… take some relaxation or should we…?"

Anakin nodded and said "We should do some patrol first."

However, Dia could sense that Anakin actually meant by that to have some private time alone together. She formed a sweet smile while she blushed, taking his hand and walked out of the villa together.

When they were at the other side after a few minutes of patrolling, sensing they were alone, Anakin instantly embraced Dia into a very passionate kiss and pinned her to a nearby tree. Dia returned the kiss as their tongues made contact, dancing like a tango in their mouths.

"Mmmm… Mmmm…" Dia moaned while Anakin's left hand touched her breast and the other to her ass cheeks, softly rubbing them, while Dia placed her arms around Anakin's neck.

After a few minutes, Anakin broke the kiss, looking into her eyes.

With a bit of surprised look that Anakin stopped, Dia winked her eyes "What's wrong…?"

Anakin, feeling such remorse for being so stupid to end things with her years back, just as their relationship was fully blossoming, he said "Dia… I'm so… so sorry for breaking up with you. I never should've done that, and-"

"Shhhhh." Dia puts her finger on his mouth "It's okay, Ani. I've already forgiven you."

"I love you." Anakin told her softly.

Dia's eyes went wide when Anakin said that out of the open, having never heard him saying those three words to her.

"I love you, Dia Zebb… more than anything." Anakin spoke with all his heart.

Tears of joy formed in Dia's eyes, with her forming a smile "Oh, Ani… I love you too!" and both embraced into another passionate kiss.

Their make out slowly became more hot as Anakin opened her robes, exposing her breasts. Anakin kissed her down her neck, down to her breasts, sucking and licking them.

Dia moaned out of pleasure, with her fingers going through Anakin's hair "Hmmaaahh…! Yes… Oh, yes, Ani…! Mmmmm… oh, how I've missed this… Hmmmm…" but then she sensed someone was coming, making her gasp in shock "Ani!" she called to him quietly.

Anakin stopped, sensing it too. Both quickly hide, seeing two security guards walking down the path.

After the guards had passed, Anakin annoyingly sighed that he and Dia couldn't share a romantic moment together in public like normal people. Dia too didn't liked to hide their love.

As they came out of hiding, while Dia readjusted her robes, she and Anakin shared a smile while holding hands. Though it would be hard for them to keep their relationship a secret, both were at least happy to be back together. Both shared a kiss before walking together back to the villa.

For the rest of the evening, Anakin and Dia did some security checks till it was 1 AM and went to bed.

While Anakin took off his robes till he was in his boxers, he was thinking to perhaps spend the night with Dia in her bed. But knowing that it would be too much of a risk that it would expose their secret relationship, he put it out of his mind, much to his frustration.

When Anakin tried to catch some sleep, he couldn't, as there was still something troubling his mind; the romantic moments they shared years back before he broke up, causing his mind to think or imagine it was Padmé he was sharing passionate moments with while it was with Dia.

Anakin kept thinking about this an hour, which kept him awake, feeling ashamed that that was the cause of their breakup. He felt he had to tell her, but was afraid what her reaction would be if he told the truth, fearing he might lose her forever. But he had to try.

The next day, deep in the Lake Country

Deciding that she could use some relaxation and keep her mind of being constantly under watch when staying in the villa, Padmé wanted to go into the countryside for a nice picknick. Though she preferred to have to spend it alone with Anakin, Dia insisted to come along too, not just for her safekeeping, but also because she was curious to Naboo's beauty. So, Padmé agreed.

When leaving the lake villa, they came across a small town populated by the local farmers and some glass craftworkers. Padmé and Dia both took interest in how the craftworkers shaped beautiful glass works. Anakin was happy to see that Dia and Padmé got along well.

After leaving the town, having walked for an halfhour, they found a perfect spot for a picknick. It was a large grassland with many flowers, with a few dozen Shaak animals roamed the land, with many waterfalls surrounding it.

All three enjoyed the picknick, sharing a few talks about Anakin helping the poor by fixing their droids or making new ones that he gave away for free, and Padmé's thoughts of being queen of Naboo before becoming a senator.

When Padmé began talking about when she had joined the Legislative Youth Program, Anakin had sensed that Padmé had actually been with someone special in her class.

Padmé was a bit shy to tell "I don't know."

"Sure you do. You just don't want to tell us." Anakin said.

Padmé narrowed her eyes at him "You gonna use one of your Jedi mind tricks on me?"

Anakin shook his head "They only work on the weak-minded."

Dia then told her "It's alright, Padmé. If you don't want to tell us, you don't have to."

Padmé was glad that Dia at least didn't pushed her to tell. But seeing that this might get Anakin a bit 'jealous', she sighed and told "Alright. Back when I was 12… I met a boy named Palo. We were both in the Legislative Young Program. He was a few years older than I. Very cute." she said with a bit of dreamy voice "He had… dark, curly hair. Dreamy eyes."

Anakin raised his hand as he chuckled "Alright, alright, I get the picture."

Dia became a bit suspicious at what Padmé was doing 'Is she… trying to flirt with Anakin?'. But then told her, teasing Padmé a bit "So, I assume that you and this 'Palo' were in a relationship back then?"

Padmé blushed a bit "Well… yeah. We were. Though we were only young, we felt like we could stay forever," that made her roll her eyes in amusement "Imagine a 12 year old girl thinking she found the love of her life?"

Dia ensured her "There's nothing to be ashamed of it, Padmé. We all felt it at some point in our youths."

That made Padmé curious "Do you then?"

Dia shrugged it off "Maybe."

Padmé could see that Dia was hiding something "Ow, c'mon, now. You did had a crush on someone before, haven't you?"

Anakin blushed red deep, knowing that Dia meant him. Dia too was a bit shy to tell, while also not wanting to expose her first secret relationship with Anakin years back. So, coming up with a bit of 'mystery tale', Dia admitted "Well, yeah. There was this one boy I really liked. He too was a few years older than I."

That made Padmé really curious and shoved closer to her "Can you describe him for me?"

Anakin really tried hard to hide his blush.

Dia giggled, having sensed Anakin's awkwardness.

"What?" Padmé asked, not knowing why Dia was giggling about.

Dia ensured her with smile "Nothing. When I think back about him, it feels funny." She then described her former secret boyfriend "He was very cute," Anakin blushed very deep red like a tomato, but Padmé didn't noticed as she was so into Dia's secret boyfriend "handsome… a great shaped body… beautiful blue eyes…" Dia said in a dreamy voice.

Padmé laughed at that "Oh my gosh…!" then she asked "So? Is he a Jedi or a…?"

Dia didn't know if she wanted to tell "Well…"

Anakin almost felt he was going to panic.

But then Padmé shrugged it off "You know what? You don't need to tell me that."

Anakin was very relieved, hiding a big sigh.

"So, what happened then?"

Dia's smile then slowly faded "I…" she shook her head "I don't know. At some point… we just… grew apart. I don't know if it was me or him… It was as if this spark that made it so wonderful just… faded. So, he went his way and I went mine."

Anakin could sense how hurt Dia felt after their breakup years back, wishing he could make it all up to her. Dia shared a short glance at Anakin, reminding him with a smile that she'd already forgiven him, much to Anakin's relief.

Then, Anakin asked Padmé "What about this guy, Palo? What happened to him?"

Now it was Padmé that felt a bit sad "Honestly… our relationship didn't last long. He eventually left the program to become an artist."

"Maybe he was the smart one."

Padmé narrowed her eyes at Anakin "You really don't like politicians, do you?"

Anakin shrugged "I like a few of them, but I'm not really sure about one of them."

Now it was Padmé who blushed, thinking that Anakin mentioned her, making her chuckle a bit. But without her knowledge, Anakin was actually mentioning Palpatine who he wasn't sure to trust.

Changing the subject, Anakin shared his thoughts "Honestly… I don't think the current system works anymore."

"How would you have it work?" Padmé asked curiously.

Anakin wasn't sure how to answer that question, as politics weren't really his favorite subject as he'd witnessed himself the conditions of the current system, where corrupt politicians only care about their own wealth and ignore the people's need for aid. But he then said with a bit more confident "We need a system where the people have a voice in the Senate as well."

This confused Padmé a bit "What does that supposed to mean? The people are already given a voice in the Senate as they vote for those who represent them."

"Well, that's the problem really." Anakin stated "What I mean is, is that we need a system where the people vote should have the right to vote for the next chancellor, instead of that only the Senators in the Senate vote for the new leader."

Padmé raised an eyebrow as what Anakin thinks would be a better system for the Republic "But how would that kind of system work? I mean… it sounds all good, on paper, but in reality, I'm not so sure. We've performed the same system for thousands of years ever since the Republic was formed and it always worked."

Anakin shook his head "Things have changed. The current system doesn't truly represent the people anymore. Things can't always go the same as what I have seen is that many of the senators, but I'm not gonna call names, is that they only care about their own interests and not for what the people elected him or her for. If the Republic wishes to survive, it needs to move with the times and actually listen to the people to hear what they truly think about it, and choose a leader that truly represent them. If not, the people will lose their faith in the system and cause them to be drawn to extremism, which will mean an end of democracy. I mean, we see it right as how the people, especially those those in the Outer Rim are so frustrated that their voices aren't heard and are treated as second class citizens, causing them to forge their own paths or even joining the Separatists."

Padmé felt a bit dumbstruck, not believing what Anakin was saying.

Dia, agreeing with Anakin, added "It's true, Padmé. The system truly doesn't work anymore and the problems within the Republic have only increased ever since so many star-systems in the Outer Rim have joined the Republic over the centuries, with their frustrations having grown as the Senate doesn't hear their cries and are beginning to regret of having joined the Republic in the first place. I can know, as I have been it first hand during my travels with my master when we were on missions in the Outer Rim. The people are losing faith in the Republic. The only way for things to change for the better and that they're truly are listened to, is for the system to change and the people truly have a voice in politics."

Padmé was starting to see their point of view as she thought deep of what Anakin and Dia said. It was true that the Republic was being poorly led, with the poor and the many alien races in the Outer Rim being neglected while only the wealthiest of citizens are enjoying the greatest of things and corruption is holding its grip in the Senate, preventing from allowing the few actual good senators to make an actual change.

"I… I see what you both mean," Padmé said "Perhaps, with the Separatist crisis is over, maybe things could change, but as the current situation is, it would perhaps take a lifetime to change the Republic." She stated, knowing from experience that politics aren't that simple and things can't change overnight.

Anakin shrugged "Perhaps. But, it takes more than just experience to make a change. If the few good politicians stand together and have the strength to change things for the better, showing courage to those who who perform evil, it will motivate the people and the other senators to take a strong stand. Then, things can change much quicker then you think. And even if it would take a lifetime, future generations will be inspired to continue the struggle."

Dia nodded and puts her hand on his shoulder, like she was showing him that she agrees with him. Anakin smiled at her.

Padmé was fascinated with how much wisdom Anakin spoke, seeing that every word he says was true, making her form a smile. She teased him a bit "You know, in a different life, you would've been a hell of a politician."

Anakin, feeling modest, shook his head while he chuckled "No, no, I would've been terrible at being a politician."

"Okay. Let's say, if you weren't a Jedi or being born as a slave, what kind of life would you have?" Padmé asked.

Anakin shrugged "I don't know, I've never thought about it. But seeing how well I am in fixing and building stuff, I would've opened my own shop, maybe even having started a family by now."

Dia chucked a bit "Well, that does sound like a great life." She imagined herself being with Anakin, living a normal life… being married… and having kids. That last thought made her to blush.

Later on, after Padmé mentioned that she and her sister one time tried to ride one of the Shaaks in the field, which caused them to be in big trouble with their parents as they saw it was too dangerous for young girls, Anakin asked her "And you never tried it again?"

Padmé chuckled while she shook her head "No! I was too much focused on my studies to worry about one day riding a Shaak."

Anakin glanced at the herd, making him think it would be easy to ride them.

Dia narrowed her eyes at him as she could sense what Anakin was planning "You're not seriously gonna ride one of them, do you?"

Anakin gave her a shrug "What? It seems to be fun to ride a Shaak. Don't you think?"

Dia wasn't sure "I… I don't know, it's…"

"Are you scared, Dia Zebb?" he teased her.

Dia glared at Anakin "No, I'm not."

"Prove it."

"Is that a challenge, Skywalker?"

Anakin stood up, ran to a Shaak and jumped on it, causing it to bellow and he rode it "See? It's not that hard."

Dia stood up while she smiled "Okay, game on!" she ran to another Shaak, jumped on it and rode it, galloping behind Anakin.

Padmé watched with amusement as the two Jedi rode the two big mammal cattle animals. She ran after them to watch them but rode them so fast that Padmé couldn't keep up with them.

Anakin and Dia rode on the two Shaaks across a few hills. Both were laughing "Hahahaha! I told you it would be fun." Anakin called to her.

Dia nodded while laughing "You were definitely right, Ani! Hahahaha!"

Anakin tried to impress her by standing on the Shaak, maintaining his balance as the animal kept bellowing and riding fast.

Dia chuckled as she watching him, and shook her head out of amusement "Show off."

Suddenly, Anakin lost his balance and fell on the ground, with the Shaak stamping on him before walking away. Dia looked worried as Anakin didn't stood up.

Anakin grunted and didn't get up.

Dia gasped in shock, thinking that Anakin was hurt. She jumped from her Shaak and ran towards him "Ani! Ani, are you alright?"

She checked him, rolling him on his back, with him laughing.

Dia was mad that he was pretending that he was hurt "Oh, why you-!" she slapped him, Anakin laughed as he held her hands and pulled her to him, causing them to roll down the hill together while they laughed. When both stopped rolling, with Anakin on top of her, both chuckled.

Dia then rolled her eyes while she smiled "You're really childish, you know that?"

Anakin shrugged while smirking down at her "At least I made you laugh."

Dia chuckled "That you did, Ani."

Both stared into each other's eyes. Anakin leaned down and kissed her lips, which she returned.

Their romantic kiss lasted for a minute, till both slowly broke it, sensing that Padmé was coming.

Both sighed while they smiled. Anakin helped Dia up.

Padmé panted as she walked down the hill to them. Anakin waved to her "Hey!"

Padmé was glad to see they were both okey. She said while still panting "Hope you both had… your fun…?"

Dia shrugged "Yeah. We did." Then she apologized "Sorry that you had to run after us the whole way, Padmé."

Padmé shook her head "No, that's… okay."

Anakin then suggested "Maybe we should go back to the villa?"

Padmé nodded "Good plan… I feel like I'd… just ran a… marathon."

-:-

Later that evening, at the Villa during dinner

While enjoying a great meal that was served by a some of the servants, Anakin was telling Padmé in detail one of his and Qui-Gon's adventures when dealing with a group of illegal arms dealers on Corellia "And when I got to them, we went into aggressive negotiations."

"Aggressive negotiations?" Padmé asked confused "What's that?"

"Uh, well… 'Negotiations with a lightsaber'."

"Oh, I see." Padmé nodded in understanding, giving a bit of chuckling.

But just as she was about to take her first bite, a security guard walked up to the senator "Excuse me, Senator Amidala? There's a message for you."

Padmé nodded "Right. Thank you, officer." As the guard left, Padmé stood up "Excuse me for a moment," she excused herself.

"No problem." Anakin said.

Now, it was just him and Dia. Both shared small chuckle.

Just as Dia was about to cut her piece of fruit, Anakin used the Force to lift up the fruit in the air, pulling it to his plate "Allow me."

Dia thought it was cute that Anakin offered to cut her food, making her form a smile.

Anakin then used the Force again to lift the piece of fruit up, making it slowly float to Dia. She poked it in the air with her fork and took a bite from it. Both chuckled.

However, Dia could sense something was bothering Anakin, as he was finding it troubling to say it, or trying to find the time to say it. She wandered what he was trying to say.

A couple of minutes later, Padmé returned, sitting back at her chair "Sorry about that."

"Who was it that contacted you?" Dia asked.

Padmé gave a shrug and stated "Honestly… I don't know."

Anakin and Dia exchanged a glance, with Anakin asking her "You don't know who was contacting you?"

Padmé shook her head "No. I thought it was maybe a message from the queen or from my family. But when I opened the channel, I didn't see anyone's holographic image or any kind of recorded message. So, after a little while, I broke contact."

Anakin and Dia grew suspicious about this, with Dia advising her "I think it would be better if you don't pick any anonymous messages or calls, Padmé. It could be an attempt to locate you."

Padmé grew a bit worried when Dia said that "You think that… this bounty hunter might've tried to locate us?"

Anakin rose up from his chair, stating "We can't say for sure, but Dia is right. Better not picking up calls if we don't know who's contacting." He went to a security guard and told him "Check the frequency of the com-link who was contacting the senator."

The guard nodded "Yes, sir."

Padmé felt stupid for not thinking this further "Ugh…! I'm sorry. I… I thought that…" clearly she wasn't used to all the security but still felt stupid for making this dumb move.

Dia ensured her "Calm down, Padmé. If the Force wills it, it will only be for a short time."

Padmé gave a small nod "I hope you're right, Dia…"

-:-

An hour later, as the sun had gone down and the stars began to show, Anakin decided to contact his master, asking how the search for the bounty hunter has gone so far.

Unfortunately, the holographic image of Qui-Gon stated "I'm sorry, Anakin. But so far, me and Obi-Wan haven't found a clue yet to where this bounty hunter came from."

Anakin then wandered "And the toxic dart wasn't as much of a help as well?"

Qui-Gon shook his head "For some reason, the Analysis Droids didn't recognized the design of the dart or seeing where it came from, thinking that it is possibly self-manufactured."

That made Anakin suspicious "Curious."

"Indeed," Qui-Gon shared his apprentice's suspicions "Right now, me and Obi-Wan try to search more for clues in the Archives. So, I'm afraid that you and Dia need to protect Senator Amidala longer than anticipated."

Anakin nodded "I understand, master. Just let us know if anything changes or if you need our help."

"We will, Anakin." Qui-Gon ensured before breaking contact.

Anakin sighed and walked out of the communication-room.

The young Jedi headed to where Padmé was and informed her of the progress "I've just talked to Master Qui-Gon and unfortunately, he and Obi-Wan don't have a clue about the bounty hunter or his location yet. So, it seems we'll have to be here a little while longer."

Padmé was a bit disappointed to hear that, and began to frustrate her "At this rate, I'll never be able to stop the Military Creation Act! The Separatists won't stop until they get what they want, and I have to find a way to make them see that war will do more harm than good."

Dia, who'd just returned to the villa after doing a few security checks, had heard Anakin and Padmé talking and said as she entered the living room "In a way, Padmé, I do understand their reasons behind the movement. They're tried of living in a corrupt republic that fails to deliver in its promises for the people. And remember what we said before? They're now draw to extremism, as what Count Dooku is doing, promising them all actual change."

"I know!" Padmé said, still frustrated. But then she apologized "I'm sorry. It's not that I don't appreciate your opinions at all. And in a way, you both are right. It's just… I feel so… helpless for not doing anything and that… people just won't understand that war isn't the answer!" tears began to form in her eyes. She excused herself "I'm sorry, I… Excuse me." and went to her room.

Anakin and Dia both felt bad for Padmé, as she's trying so hard to prevent the Republic and the Separatists from going to war with each other "Poor, Padmé." Dia said.

Anakin nodded "Yeah," he sat with Dia on the couch, close to the fireplace "Just give her some time."

Dia nodded. She shoved a bit closer at Anakin, both looking into each other's eyes.

For a while, both didn't say anything, other than sharing a few romantic kisses.

Still, Anakin struggled if he should tell her.

Dia could sense it. She held his hands, telling softly "Anakin… I can feel that something really bothering you ever since dinner. What's wrong?"

Anakin felt ashamed. But after gathering some courage, he began to say "Dia, there's… there's something I need to tell you…"

"Tell me what?"

"About… us, when we first were together… The moments we shared and when we were… making love…" the words felt heavy on his heart. But just wanting to let them out, Anakin said with shamefulness in his voice "…It was not… you that I saw…"

Dia had no idea what to make of what Anakin was telling her "Not seeing me? What are you talking about?"

Anakin shook his head while looking away. But with the last bit of courage that he had left, he looked back at her and said "It was… all the time… It was Padmé that I saw…!"

"Padmé?" Dia asked in surprise "But… why would you only see Padmé whenever we…?" but as she realized what Anakin was telling her, she gasped.

Anakin nodded, feeling nothing but shame at this moment "Yes… It's true. Back then… when we were making love… Kissing or… when we shared our first time together… This… strange force made me to… imagine or… even feel that it was Padmé that I was making love to."

Dia slowly stood up, being in complete shock and a rising disgust. Feelings of both anger, shock and disappointment… even sadness overwhelmed her "I…" she looked away, not wanting to see Anakin right now "I've been… going over this and over and over this in my mind for four years! For four years you've been telling me that… that the Force showed us that we weren't even supposed to be together and-" but then, in that very moment, that very second… Dia paused…

Dia saw in a split second, which was almost like taking an eternity in her mind, thinking back when Anakin began to doubt their relationship after sharing their first time sex, that the Force was telling they shouldn't be together, and the times when Anakin was distracted, with the both of them feeling it all didn't make any sense as why the Force wouldn't allow them to be together. Right then… Dia shockingly remembers that when Anakin was this close to slaughter the Tusken Raiders for what they did to his mother, she'd sensed that perhaps the Dark Lord of the Sith was manipulating and controlling Anakin, remembering the evil dark clouds in her meditation when she tried out of desperation with all her love to telepathically snap Anakin out of his uncontrollable anger.

Dia gasped in shock, holding her hands on her mouth "By the Force…!" it was then, that all this whole time, Anakin was possibly manipulated by the Sith without her or Anakin's knowledge.

Anakin was this close to leave, but Dia turned back and held his hand "Anakin, wait…!"

Anakin looked at her with some surprise "But…"

Dia immediately hugged him and softly sobbed.

"I don't understand…" Anakin said "I thought you were… angry with me."

Dia looked at him with her teary eyes and shook her head "Anakin…! Do you remember when you'd almost killed the Tusken Raiders back on Tatooine, and I managed to… contact you through the Force?"

Anakin nodded "I do," but asked confused "But… what has that to do with this?"

It was then, that Dia began to tell when she tried to telepathically contact him through the Force that very night, trying to make sure he wouldn't use his anger to punish the Sand People for kidnapping and torturing his mother in blind rage, telling she was only able to snap Anakin back to his senses when she was able to break the Dark Side's influence over him.

Anakin blinked his eyes in surprise "Wait… you're saying that-"

"It was the Dark Side this whole time, Ani…!" Dia said "When we first secretly dated and you broke up because you thought the Force told you that we weren't supposed to be together, the nightmares of your mother being kidnapped, the… evilness that I'd sensed that was taking control of you…" that last thought made her scared and made her almost cry out of worry for Anakin "It was the… I really feel deep down that it was… It was the Sith, Ani! The Dark Lord of the Sith was manipulating you this whole time!" she quietly yelled to Anakin.

Anakin was shocked by this revelation. But thinking about this for a short moment, he sensed that Dia was right.

"I… I can't believe this…!" Anakin said, feeling ashamed and stupid "How could I not have seen it? How could I've been so stupid?! I broke up with you… only because of these… illusions that the Sith was planting in my mind and manipulating me, making me to avoid you when I should've…!" he collected himself and glanced back at her, holding his hands "Dia… I don't want that to happen again. Not to us." He tried to think of a solution "How can I stop this? How can I possibly prevent the Dark Side from… manipulating my mind again?"

Dia, remembering something she'd studied some time ago in the archives, which might help, said "Maybe we could… severe the Sith's influence by… forming a Force-Love bond."

Anakin glanced at her with some surprise "A Force-Love bond?" he was unsure of it at first, knowing the consequences if the Jedi would ever find out "But… Dia, forming a Force-Love bond is absolutely forbidden by the Order. And besides, it hasn't been done in thousands of years…!"

But feeling that this, this unspoken act of bonding their souls with all their love and strong attachment for each other that goes go against everything that the Jedi had ever taught them, which could lead to them being banished from the Jedi Order forever, could be the only way to prevent Anakin from making another mistake and protect him from the dark influence of the Sith, he knew that this is the only way. His love for Dia was far stronger than all the rules and restrictions of the Order, as losing her for good for just following the outdated and stupid rules of the Jedi, would be the true sin.

Anakin slowly nodded, forming a determined look on his face and held both of Dia's hands "Alright… We'll do it. Even if it means we could be banished from the Jedi Order… then so be it. My love for you is far stronger than my principles to this 'outdated' Jedi Code."

A tear fell from Dia's right eye, forming a small smile "And I love you too, Anakin Skywalker… Even when facing the oblivion… nothing will ever stop me from loving you."

Holding each other's hands, with their fingers intertwined, Anakin and Dia had made their choice.

A bit later, in Padmé's bedroom, the senator had collected herself after spending an half hour alone in her thoughts, thinking back what Anakin and Dia told her.

Having put them aside for now, Padmé walked out of her bedroom. She wanted to see Anakin, hoping that they could have some 'alone time' together.

But in her mind, while walking down the hallway, she thought 'Where do I even begin?' she asked herself 'How can I possibly make Anakin to… notice me? What should I say?'

While still struggling in her mind, she entered the living room, seeing that Anakin and Dia weren't near the fireplace anymore.

Padmé looked around, finding Anakin and Dia outside on the balcony floor with their legs crossed, facing each other while being in a very deep state of meditation.

For some reason, being glad that Anakin was clearly busy and didn't wished to be disturbed, Padmé felt a bit of gladness as she was sure that whatever would come out of her mouth to try to 'impress' or even 'seduce' Anakin could backfire completely. So, she leaves them be.

Padmé walked away with a bit of frustration within herself. But, remembering her big sister's offer of advice to get Anakin's full attention, Padmé went to the com-link room.

As Padmé typed in the com-link address of her sister, she sighed, telling herself as this felt so out of character for her "I can't believe that I'm actually doing this."

Not long after, a holographic image appeared, being that of Sola. She smiled when it was her little sister that was contacting her "Padmé! So good to hear from you."

Padmé nodded with a smile "Hi, Sola." Feeling embarrassed while blushing deep, she asked her sister "Uhm… remember the offer you gave for in case I wanted to… You know?"

Sola gasped out of excitement "Oh, Paddie! I knew it! You really like him, right?"

Padmé sighed "Yes… I do. But, how the hell can I impress him or even…" she blushed as red as a tomato "…seduce him… perhaps?"

Sola was impressed with Padmé deciding to take the initiative for once "You've come to the right place, Padmé." She then began telling what she did when trying to seduce her husband when meeting at the university of Theed "Now, let me tell you what I did when I decided to finally take the initiative to get Janren's full attention…"

Padmé listened to Sola's story and advice, with some making Padmé blush really deep.

"And… you're absolutely sure it'll work? Even for Anakin as he's a Jedi?"

Sola nodded "Believe me, Paddie. Jedi or not, not a single man can resist… a woman's true charm…" she finished with a naughty smirk, which made her chuckle out of amusement "Well, I guess that's all for my big sister advice I can give you, the rest is up to you. Go get 'em, Padmé. I believe in you." and Sola broke contact.

Padmé turned off the com-link computer and sighed deep, going back to her room.

When making it to her room, she began thinking deep, taking Sola's advice to heart. She looked at herself in the mirror, forming a smile, gathering the courage she needed "Alright. Time to go for the old fashioned Naberrie charm." She went to her closet, going through her many outfits.

Back with Anakin and Dia…

Still in deep meditation, Anakin and Dia searched deep within themselves and each other to make their bond eternal. They focused only on each other, trying hard not to fall into the temptation of the dark side.

---

Inside their minds, Anakin and Dia's shining souls faced each other, floating between clouds. Both their hearts pounded as they slowly moved to each other.

Large black serpents, made out of dark and evil clouds surrounded Anakin, like they ready to strangle him, as if the Sith itself tried to tempt him and keep Anakin under their control. But as Dia's soul neared Anakin, they released Anakin, but hissed in anger as their red/black eyes glow.

Som of the dark serpents tried to attack Dia, but both her and Anakin's soul were protected by an invisible barrier!

Dia and Anakin's soul held hands while smiling with love at each other, while their hearts pounded hard and red/pink energy came from them and began to intertwined.

The dark serpents hissed while Anakin and Dia's soul glowed even brighter, making the serpents made of the Dark Side flee in terror.

Anakin and Dia's heart's energies intertwined even more, making their hearts and souls glow more and more.

Anakin and Dia slowly leaned in… and kissed. Their souls then burst with a powerful glowing light, creating and unleashing a large, invisible and very powerful burst that was unleased through the Force!

---

The Force-Love bond, created by Anakin and Dia was so strong, that the explosion in the Force itself was felt by nearly every Force-user throughout the galaxy.

The many Jedi at the Temple on Coruscant were surprised by this strange and yet powerful 'power burst' they felt.

Many younglings, who were asleep, all awake by this amazing and beautiful feeling, making them all smile. Even the teenage Padawans, including Ahsoka, all awake from either their sleep or broke their meditation, as they hadn't felt anything like this before, making them smile too.

The older Jedi Knights and Masters didn't knew what to make of this, as no one had ever felt this kind of strange power of strong attachment before, yet it was like the Force allowed it.

Master Yoda, breaking his meditation, found it odd, figuring out what this 'strange and yet good' shockwave through the Force meant. He even tried to sense where this came from, but was impossible for him to sense.

Qui-Gon Jinn and Benjako Dalkai however, felt that this could only mean one thing: Anakin and Dia have used the Force to bond forever with their eternal love. Both formed a smile, feeling proud and happy for their apprentices to have found such happiness.

Shaak Ti and Aayla, while secretly making love in a hotel room somewhere in Coruscant, both stopped their scissoring as they felt the shockwave of Anakin and Dia's Force-Love bonding, making them look up in surprise, before they both smiled as this feeling felt so good, before they passionately kissed and resumed their love making.

While secretly keeping up her training as a Warrior of the Force, Asajj gasped as she stopt when sensing the immense feeling that passed through the Force. Sensing the amount of love, Asajj smiled, sensing that somewhere in the galaxy, two powerful individuals have bonded with the power of true love.

Count Dooku, being with his master, Darth Sidious, having sensed this shockwave through the Force as well, narrowed his eyes as he was skeptical of this kind of silly attachment. Sidious' rage however boiled over, sensing that his plan was once again disrupted by Dia's work.

---

Back on Naboo, Anakin and Dia slowly reopened their eyes and glanced at each other, feeling more connected together than ever before, with their feelings for each other having reached new heights.

Both smiled… and embraced into a very passionate kiss.

Slowly, Anakin broke the kiss and glanced into Dia's eyes. He formed a smile again before he held her up by her butt cheeks, carrying her inside while both shared several kisses.

Anakin softly kicked the door of his room open and closed it using the Force while he and Dia kept kissing with such passion, never wanting to release each other ever again.

Anakin slowly placed Dia on his bed and both kept tongue kissing, with Anakin on top, while their hands stroked each other's bodies.

But for a moment, Anakin broke the kiss and told Dia "I'm… so sorry that I hadn't told you the truth sooner, Dia. If I had… maybe I could've-"

Dia hushed him by putting her finger on his mouth, before saying in a seductive way "It's okay. That's in the past," she softly moved her hand over his face, down his cheek "and now that we're together again, we should concentrate more on our future…"

Anakin and Dia smiled before resuming their very passionate kiss, making them moan.

While they kept kissing and touching each other, both quickly took off their garments till they were naked.

With Dia on top now, they passionately tongue kissed while Dia's hands stroke over Anakin's chest, with his hands softly touching her breasts and rubbed her pussy.

"Mmmmm…! Mmmmm…! Mmmmm…!" Dia moaned without stopping their tongue kiss.

As they slowly broke the kiss, Anakin sighed "Man… how I've missed this…"

Dia seductively smiled while saying softly "Well… since you clearly no longer think of Padmé now that we're together… let's make this night we will remember forever…" she bite her lip while her left Lekku moved up, softly touching Anakin's face and made it move down to his chest, giving a small touch on one of his nipples, sending it electrical sensation to it, making Anakin feel weird.

"Whoa…" was all he could say.

Dia bite her lip again while she kissed him on the lips, before kissing down to his chest, while her left Lekku slowly moved down and touched his half-erected penis.

As soon as Dia's Lekku touched Anakin's cock, its electrical sensation made Anakin moan "Hmaaaah…!" making his cock more erected. He looked at Dia as she kissed his belly down "Dia… are you…?"

Dia looked up Anakin's face and slowly nodded "Mm-hm." Her Lekku stroke his cock, sending lots of stimulation "You like it, Ani?"

Anakin gave a nod while he moaned "Oooh, yeah…! This feels… great…!"

"Good," Dia said while moving down, taking her Lekku off his cock and stroke it with her hand and stated while she gave a small giggle "To be honest… Master Shaak Ti had actually recommended me to use my Lekku to increase the… stimulation." She lustfully chuckled.

Anakin smiled, being glad that not only was Shaak Ti and Aayla Secura keeping their romantic relationship a secret, and keeping a secret that Anakin still keeps in touch with his mother and new family on Tatooine, but that they also gave some tips to use in bed.

While using her right hand to stroke him, Dia used her Lekku to teasingly poke Anakin's cock "But despite I can use my Lekku for some extra sensation… what drives me far more crazy… is this…" she opened her mouth and began blowing Anakin's cock deep while also using her tongue. Her Lekku softly stroke over his ball sack

"Hmmmm…!" Anakin moaned "Ooooh, yeah…! Oooooh, by the… Force…! That's… so good!" he stroke his hand over her head.

She kept blowing him for several minutes, increasing the speed.

Anakin loved this feeling so much. His mind, now thanks to their newly formed Force-Love bond, was no longer forced to focus on Padmé, but only had his mind on Dia and no one else.

Then, Dia took his cock deeper inside her mouth, deepthroating him, loving it so bad.

"Oooooh, fuuuck!"

Dia kept blowing him hard and deep, with his cock going deep in her throat "Uuck! Uuck! Uuck! Uuck!"

Anakin felt he was near to reach his orgasm, making him moan louder "Uuugh! Aaaah, Dia?! I'm… about to cum, really hard!"

Dia blowed him even faster, with her mind almost begging him telepathically 'Yes, Ani! Cum for me, baby! Cum as much as you want!'

Anakin, as he was seconds away from climaxing, grabbed Dia's face tight and thrusts his cock deep inside her "Dia…! Aaah-AAAAAAH!"

Dia's eyes went wide as a huge load of sperm was shoot in her mouth, straight into her throat, with her swallowing it all. While a few drops of sperm fell from her lips, Dia's eyes rolled backwards, feeling the sensation even more cause of their forged Force-Love bond.

After almost 10 seconds of climaxing, Dia was able to swallow all his sperm with kind. Anakin released his grip on her head, making her slowly take his cock out of her mouth, making her gasp for air.

She moved her tongue over her lips, tasting the last bits of sperm. She sighed with a seducing smile "Oooh, fuck… That sure was… hell better than our very… first time…!"

Anakin, still feeling lots of energy, formed a little smirk as he said "Well, Dia… it's long from over." He used the Force to pull her to him before grabbing her and pinned her down on the bed, with him now on top.

Dia gasped in surprise by this sudden move, but then formed a lustful smirk "Ooooh…! Kinky. Hihihihi."

Anakin smirked too "You have no idea." And planted a lustful tongue kiss on Dia while rubbing her breasts with his hands and stimulated her nipples.

"Ooooh, yeah…! Just like that, Ani… Mmmm… fuuuck…!" Dia moaned as she loves Anakin touching her at the places she likes the most, and with their newly created bond, the pleasure had only increased further.

Treating her the same way as she did, Anakin slowly kissed and licked down to her breasts, sucking and nipping her nipples while fingering her wet pussy.

After a few minutes, Anakin slowly kissed his way down to her pussy, licking her labia softly and stimulate her clitoris with the tip of his tongue before eating her eat.

"Hmmmmm! Hmmmaaaah! Ooooh fuck, yeaaaah!" Dia moaned out loud as she grabbed Anakin's head, pulling her closer to her private parts "Yeeees…! Eat it, Ani! Oooh fuck, yeah, eat it! Aaaaaah!"

Complying to her wishes, Anakin moved his tongue inside her pussy, tasting, sucking and licking her sweet juices.

Dia bite her lip while her eyes rolled backwards "OOH FUCK! OOH FUCK! OOOOOH FUCK YEAH!" she was about to climax, making grab Anakin's head tighter "AAAH! AAAH! I… I…" she then squirted her juices out, straight into Anakin's mouth "FUUUUUUUUUUCK!"

Anakin swallowed all her squirted juices, before he licked her pussy clean.

While Dia panted as this felt so good, she felt she wanted more "Ani…?"

Anakin looked up at her while swallowing the last bits of her juices.

"I want more… Far more…!"

Anakin smiled and moved up to her, planting another passionate kiss, making her taste parts of her own juices in Anakin's mouth, finding them so tasty.

She moved her hips, grinding her still rock hard dick "Well? What are you waiting for? Don't you wanna fuck me hard, Anakin Skywalker?" Dia said with her horny voice.

Anakin couldn't think of anything else then show his love for Dia. But, using his mind for a moment, he asked "Don't you… want to use protection?"

Dia blinked for a moment, but shrugged "Sure. You got any?" she asked if he had condoms.

But that made Anakin feel awkward as he hadn't had any condoms with him "Uhm… no. Do you?"

"No."

Anakin now felt more awkward for asking such a stupid question 'Of course Dia didn't took any condoms with her, cause we weren't back together yet!' he mentally cursed himself.

Both were quiet for a little while. And after what was like 15 seconds of thinking, Anakin and Dia formed a smirk 'Ah, what the hell!' both simultaneously thought before embracing into a very passionate tongue kiss.

Back with Padmé…

Padmé looked at herself in the mirror.

She'd let her long hair loose and was wearing some black/red eyeshadow and red lipstick. Padmé wasn't wearing anything, other than a long white sexy see-through dress, which showed her breasts and nipples and even showed her pussy.

Padmé blushed deep when seeing herself like this, as she had never wear herself this way for anyone before, let alone for the guy she was having feelings with. But after her sister Sola had told her in detail how it was so easy to seduce her husband when she was wearing the same way as Padmé does now, Padmé formed a little smile of confidence. She did admit she looked very attractive and very sexy like this, which would any men's jaws drop.

Padmé formed a small smile before giving a deep sigh, gathering the courage to go to Anakin and seduce him, ready to open her feelings for him "Here we go. I hope you know what you're doing, Padmé Amidala Naberrie." She asked herself.

As Padmé peeked her head out her room to be sure if she was alone, she slowly stepped out of her room as there was nobody else in the corridor. But as she made a few steps heading to Anakin's bedroom, R2-D2 approached Padmé, beeping as he asked her "Are you going to do what I think you're going to do, Padmé?"

Padmé ensured him "I do. It's okay, R2. You can leave now."

R2 gave a little beep before he moved away, going through some of the security in the villa.

As Padmé walked further into the hallway, with Anakin's bedroom door ahead, Padmé felt more confident in herself "This might be something I'd never done before, but if I want to show Anakin how much I love him… it's worth it." she said to herself with an ensuring smile.

But as she had approached the door, she heard noises coming from inside.

"Is… somebody else with Anakin?" she asked herself while reaching to the doorknob. But as she touched it, she heard loud moaning coming from the room.

"Aaaah! Aah! Aaah! Oooh, Ani! Fuck me! Yes, fuck me hard! Yes!"

Padmé gasped in shock of what she heard, not believing her ears, as it was loud moaning of Dia she heard.

'No…!' Padmé begged in her mind to not be true, but yet the voices she heard confirmed it all 'No… Please don't let this to be true…!' she begged mentally again as she slowly opened the door, peaking inside.

Padmé's heart froze of what she saw. She saw Anakin… on top of Dia… having passionate sex.

Anakin moaned out loud too as his hips banged against hers, thrusting his dick deep inside her pussy, hitting her cervix "Uuugh! Aaaah! Oooh, Dia…! I… I love you! I love you so much!"

Tears formed in Padmé's eyes of what Anakin said to Dia, feeling like her heart was breaking in a thousand pieces.

Dia, moaning out loud, shed a few tears of joy "Oooh, Ani! I… I love you too! I love you so much, Anakin!" both passionately tongue kissed, without even stopping fucking.

Padmé slowly shook her head 'This can't be happening…! This can't be happening! No…! Why Anakin? Why?!' Padmé mentally begged herself not to be true, and yet… it was happening before her eyes. The way they were making love, showed how much Anakin and Dia were truly in love. Padmé felt so dirty and stupid, seeing that Anakin never would ever make love to her like that, showing that he never had the same feelings for her as he has for Dia.

While watching them, Padmé touched her breast, stimulating her nipple while touching her pussy, imagining it was her that was being fucked by Anakin, giving small sobs as tears fell from her eyes.

Anakin increased the speed, which Dia loved so badly "OOH YES! YES! FUCK ME HARD! SHOW ME HOW MUCH YOU FUCKING LOVE ME, ANAKIN! AAAAH! HMMMAAAAAH!" she crossed her legs over his hips.

They kept doing this for over a minute, with both reaching each other's orgasms.

"Dia… I'm gonna cum…!" Anakin moaned, feeling he was on the edge to unleash another big load.

Dia nodded, feeling too she was about to climax hard "Me too, Ani! Let's… OH FUCK, LET'S CUM TOGETHER!"

Ten seconds later, while both increased the speed and moaned out loud, they were about to climax at the same time.

"DIA! DIA! DIAAA!"

"ANAKIIIIIIIIN!"

And with one last thrust, hitting her cervix deep, Anakin unleased his seed inside her, filling her womb while Dia squirted her juices out.

Dia, with her eyes rolled backwards while she panted, said softly lustful "Soo… much… Soo… warm…"

Never before had Anakin and Dia felt this amazing orgasm before, as if their minds and souls were one. Neither felt any darkness of light within themselves… only true love.

As their climax slowly died out, Anakin and Dia looked into each other's eyes. The look on their faces was enough to show how much they were in love, and planted another kiss.

Padmé meanwhile was fingering herself, feeling heartbroken, sad and angry with herself, seeing that their love was nothing compared to what she felt for Anakin, wishing she would feel that kind of true passionate love.

Anakin was about to take his penis out of Dia's filled vagina, but she held him back by keeping her legs across his hips, keeping him in place "No, wait…" Dia then bite her lip and held him tight with her arms before pushing him aside and she was now on top of her, while keeping his dick inside her "Now it's my turn…" she said with a sweet and yet lustful voice as she began to move her hips, riding his dick in the cowgirl position "Aaaah…! Oooh fuck! I love riding your dick… so much…! Aaaaaahh…!"

Anakin, feeling his energy coming back and his big pole getting big again inside her, he stimulates her breasts and twisted her nipples "Ooooh, yeah... Dia…! You're so… aaahhh… perfect…!"

"Yes…!"

As Padmé kept watching, with tears falling from her eyes, she felt herself wet between her legs. Slowly, without thinking, she moved her right index and middle fingers inside her vagina while stimulating her clitoris, and her other hand massaged her right breast "Aahh… Uhh…" she moaned quietly before she realized what she was doing 'Why am I keep doing this? I… can't stop.' She said to herself before continuing to masturbate while peeking Anakin and Dia making love. Though it still hurt her deep down so much for losing her chances with Anakin, she still couldn't help herself from stopping watching them, as their lovemaking was nothing she'd ever seen before, as if she could also feel through the Force how strong and powerful their love was, despite not being Force-sensitive.

"Oh, yeah, Ani! Fuck me! Oooh… fuck me! Fuck me! FUCK ME!" Dia moaned in lust as Anakin's hands grabbed her ass, increasing the speed.

After a minute of riding his cock, Dia leaned in and both passionately tongue kissed without stopping fucking.

Anakin then moved his right hand over her ass cheek, with his middle finger rubbing over her anus.

Dia gasped, realizing that Anakin was rubbing his finger against her black cherry, but then glanced with a naughty face at her boyfriend, asking with her lustful voice "Hmmmm. You wanna finger my ass, Ani?" she bite her lip "Go ahead… I don't mind."

Complying, Anakin moved his middle finger inside her rectum, stimulating it while he kept thrusting his dick in her vagina.

"Aaaaah! Ooooh, fuuuuck! Oooh, I love it when you finger my ass while you fuck me, baby! Aaaaah!"

"Yeah, you like it?! You like it, you Twi'Lek Jedi slut?" Anakin asked, using dirty words.

Dia nodded "Oooh, fuck, yeah! I fucking love it! Fuck me, Ani! Fuck me like never before! AAAAAH!"

Padmé kept sobbing while fingering herself, being on the edge of climaxing 'Oh fuck, fuck fuck fuck…! I'm gonna… I'm gonna-!'

And with a few more thrusts, Anakin and Dia climaxed simultaneously, with him pushing his middle finger all the way in her ass while his dick added even more sperm into her womb!

Padmé held her hand on her mouth, preventing she would moan out loud while she kept fingering herself with the other hand, squirting out her climaxed juices "MMMMMMMMMM!" Padmé muffled out as she climaxed, holding his hand tight to her mouth, preventing that Anakin and Dia would hear her.

Padmé had almost fallen on the floor as her legs felt wombling cause she climaxed hard, if she hadn't caught a nearby pillar in time. She slowly let herself drop on the floor, with between her legs, forming a small pool of her climaxed juices. She sobbed while looking down, feeling ashamed of herself, before peeking one last time into Anakin's room, seeing him and Dia sharing a romantic tongue kiss while he kept fingering her asshole slowly, with his climaxed dick still inside her pussy.

Padmé, slowly tried to get up and began walking back to her room while she kept giving soft sobs.

As soon as Padmé had closed the door of her bedroom behind her, she immediately cried and fell on her bed, burying with her face on her pillow. She was so sad, not being able to describe the pain she felt in her heart.

With the images of Anakin and Dia having passionate sex of true love still fresh in her mind, Padmé fingered herself with her right index and middle fingers in her pussy, while using her left index and middle finger to finger her black cherry, imagining Anakin was the one who made love to her "Anakin…!" she sobbed while she moaned and new fresh tears fell from her eyes "Anakin…!"

Back with Anakin and Dia…

Dia was sitting on top of Anakin, with both in the 69-position, with her putting his hard dick between her breasts while sucking him, and Anakin performing annuligus on her, with his tongue going deep inside her black cherry, tasting it, which he liked.

Dia moaned in her mind, loving it even more when being pleasured by her black cherry 'Oooh, fucking hell… yes! I never thought it felt sooo good…!' she popped his dick out her mouth, asking him as she looked back at him "Ani…?"

Anakin stopped and glanced at Dia, still him licking inside her rectum "Hmm?"

"I wanna… feel your dick inside my ass…" she asked with her naughty face.

Dia climbed into the reverse cowgirl position, taking Anakin's dick and puts some of his sperm that flowed from her vagina to use as lubricant. She then put the top of his dick against her anus, pressing it, letting it slowly enter as it was hard at first.

"Uuuugh!" Anakin moaned while slowly starting moving his dick inside her rectum "It's so… tight!"

Dia bite her lip, feeling bits of pain and pleasure of being slowly fucked in her anus, slowly loving this kind of pleasure "Uuuuugh, fuck, Ani…! It's so… big…! Ooooh, my ass… Fuck my ass, Ani!"

"Aaaah, Dia!" Anakin moaned while slowly increasing the speed as his sperm and her juices helped making it more easier. He used his hands to stroke her breasts, stimulating her nipples by twisting them.

After fifteen minutes of anal sex, Anakin said while Dia was fingering herself "Oooh, by the Force…! I'm gonna cum really hard again!"

Dia nodded "Go ahead, Ani! Fill my ass with your hot seed!"

Increasing the speed, Anakin released another big load of sperm.

Slowly taking his dick out of her anus, the amount of sperm flowed out of her like a fountain.

Dia panted while lowering herself, sucking his dick dry.

Anakin sighed while stroking his hand over her left Lekku softly.

Dia moaned while he stroke his still hardened dick, feeling warm inside as he touched her Lekku.

Anakin noticed she got turned on when he touches her Lekku, making him form a grin as he stroke her Lekku even more "You like that, don't you?"

Dia closed her eyes "Hmmm. Aaaaahh… Yes… I… I feel it makes me… hot and… horny…!" she moved her Lekku, wrapping around his hand and upper arm like a snake.

As the Lekku of Twi'Lek could not only be used for communicating, showing kinds of emotions or being used to sexually stimulate their partner when making love, Anakin also knew that the Lekku of Twi'Leks can also act like a stimulating clitoris. And as they'd formed their Force Love-bond, Anakin could sense how Dia loved being touched at her Lekku.

He reached his other hand to her right Lekku, treating it equally as he did with the other one.

With both her Lekku wrapping themselves around Anakin's hands and kept stimulating them with his soft touch and strokes, Dia's pleasure increased, making her all wet between the legs again "Aaah, fuck, yeah! Yes! Yes! Yes! Ooh, Ani… fuck me! Fuck me again… please…!"

Using the Force, Anakin placed Dia to sit on her hand and knees while he was standing behind her next to the bed. Holding her Lekku tight like reins, Anakin thrusts his dick inside her wett pussy, hitting her cervix hard while pulling her Lekku hard, making her pull her head up!

"AAAAAAAH!" Dia moaned out loud "FUUUUUCK, YEAH!"

With her head pulled up straight up, Anakin moved his hips, hitting her deep while still holding her Lekku tight.

"FUCK! FUCK! AAAH! AH! AH! AH! AH! AAAAAAH! YEAH, FUCK ME! FUCK ME! FUUUUCK ME HARD ANI! AAAAAAAAH!" she yelled out of pleasure with her eyes rolled backwards, having gone almost crazy of pleasure.

Both kept going nonstop and fast for over ten minutes, till Anakin and Dia reached another shared orgasm, with him hitting her cervix so deep, it almost felt as if part of his top part entered her womb while a big fourth loud of sperm added even more seed into her womb, forming a little bulb in her belly cause of the amount of sperm inside her.

With her head pulled to him even more holding her Lekku tight, Anakin shared a tongue kiss "More…" Dia begged "Give me… more…"

Anakin felt like big adrenaline flowed through him, with Dia feeling the same.

Immediately, Anakin used the Force to make her sit on her back, pulling her ass up, going for the Pile Driver-position, and placed his dick against her anus again, thrusting it deep inside without question!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Dia moaned very loud, having lost all sense cause of the pleasure she felt.

Anakin kept fucking her for some minutes, calling out to her "DIA… I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU SO FUCKING MUUUCH!"

Dia, being lost in so much pleasure, said out loud "ME TOO! I FUCKING LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH! FUCK ME! FUCK ME MORE! MORE! MOOOOOORE!"

With every fast thrust of their passionate fucking, it was as if their thrusts was sending shockwaves throughout the Force in the room!

Their souls within themselves glowed with pink and whitish light.

"DIA! DIA! DIAAAA!"

"ANAKIIIIIIN!"

And with one last final thrust, sending a tsunami of amazing passionate love from their souls, ignited by their bond, Anakin and Dia climaxed very hard, with Dia squirting her juices out like a fountain and Anakin sending an even bigger loud of sperm inside her!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Both panted, feeling almost out of energy, as if they'd pushed their bodies and their Force powers to the limit for just this one amazing and powerful passionate night.

Anakin slowly lay on the bed, with him using the Force to lift up Dia and slowly pulled him over to her, making them embrace and sharing a couple of soft kisses.

Neither of them could even describe what it was like as their love making went even further than anything. But deep down, deep in the core of their souls, Anakin Skywalker and Dia Zebb were truly deeply happy.

It didn't took long before Anakin fell asleep cause of being exhausted.

Dia, having slowly gained back her conscious from the Force-love making, looked down at a sleeping Anakin, forming a smile and planted a kiss on his cheek.

Seeing she was a bit messy, with sweat, traces of her own juices over most of her body and sperm kept flowing still from her ass and pussy, Dia sighed and thought 'I think I better take a shower.' As she slowly got out of Anakin's bed and puts on her Jedi robe to cover her naked and bit messy body, Dia quietly walked out of the room, heading to the big bathroom.

While taking a good shower, cleaning herself with some good and expensive soap, Dia rubbed her belly a bit while looking down at it with a bit of worry. Though the bulb, formed cause of so much of his seed in her womb, was now gone as most of the sperm had flown out of her vagina, Dia was still a bit worried "Anakin has released so much sperm inside me that… I could possibly get… pregnant."

After a few minutes, Dai turned off the water and stepped out of the shower, taking a towel to clean herself.

She thought what she would do as she and Anakin hadn't used any protection of her not having taking any birth control pills "Hmm. I guess I need to get one of those… morning-after pills." But then realized that she just can't burst into any pharmacy as a Jedi, as that would cause some suspicion among the staff why a Jedi wants to buy birth-control pills.

While drying her face, she thought "If not myself… maybe I could ask one of the servants to-" but quickly dismissed it "No, I can't ask it, then they will know of me and Anakin immediately." She then thought "Maybe then I could… use a mind-trick on one of them as they will do an errand to get groceries?" but she doubted if that was a wise idea "But… I cannot just abuse my Jedi power for something as… this."

She then wandered and searches the cabinets.

"Maybe Padmé or her family has something lay around here?" she wandered, though highly doubting if the Naberries would.

Then, she found a green/blue box with a folded note on it. Dia took it and read what was on the box "Hmmm." But then smiled in relief that these were special morning-after pills "Hey. This could work!" she read the inscription "Take 1 pill within 24 hours after sexual contact to prevent pregnancy. No side-effects when used by human, human-hybrids or near-human species (see list inside the box for more information)."

Dia opened the box and took the small list, which said which humanoid species and hybrids could use this special and clearly expensive anti-conception pill. On the list it said that other species might experience lots of side-effects when taking a pill as this, and for other species it could be dangerous.

But, to Dia's relief, these pills could be used by Twi'Lek as well, without the risk of getting any side-effects.

Dia took one pill and swallowed it in with some water.

Being curious to what the small note would say, Dia puts the small box down and unfolded it, seeing to her surprise that it was from Padmé sister, Sola, saying:

Here are some anti-conception pills for you to use, in case you and Anakin will get busy.

You'll thank me later, sis!

Love,

Sola

Dia was confused by what she was reading "In case Padmé and Anakin will get… busy?" she gasped in shock, realizing what this note meant "No. Is… Padmé in love with Anakin too?"

Dia quickly puts the small box with anti-conception pills along with the note back in the cabinet, putting her Jedi robe on and walked out of the bathroom, heading back to Anakin's bedroom while thinking along the way 'If Padmé is in love with Anakin too, then… Oh gosh. I truly hope that this won't cause any-'

But then, as she was near his room, she stepped on something wet "What the?" she looked down her foot, seeing she'd stepped on a small pool of liquids or something "What is this…?" she wandered went on her knees to check it out.

She tipped with her right index and middle fingers in it, seeing it was a bit of white flued. She smelled it, finding to her shock that these were female climaxed fluids.

Dia knew that none of the female servants are around the villa at this time of night, as she and Anakin knew all the security details. As she stood up, she closed her eyes and used the Force to try and sense who was possibly here.

She sensed… a blurry image… of Padmé, wearing a long see-through dress, crying as a result of a broken hard and was… peeking at her and Anakin while making love and was masturbating while watching them!

Dia's eyes opened wide, shocking realizing what has happened here without either her or Anakin realizing it as they were making passionate love "No…! Padmé… she… She… saw us…?!" her hands covered her hands. It all made sense to her. Padmé wanted to… come to see Anakin and possibly seduce him as she has feelings for him, but saw him with her having sex instead, which broke her heart and because of that, wishing it was her instead of Dia having sex with Anakin, she masturbated while watching them with so much sadness.

Dia shook her head "Oh no…" she felt so sorry for Padmé that she had to found out like this that Anakin wasn't in love with her, which was much worse than Anakin just telling her he wasn't interested "Poor Padmé…"

Dia went into Anakin's bedroom, closing the door behind her. She took off her Jedi robe and was naked again, crawling back in bed with a sleeping Anakin in his arms.

For the first few minutes, Dia's was thinking what she could do and how Anakin would think of all this, with Padmé now knowing about them. But until she knew what to do, she slowly closed her eyes and fell into a deep slumber.

A few days later…

As Monarch Day was a big celebration, a tradition that has lasted since the first humans had settled on Naboo thousands of years ago, some of the people were hosting parties to celebrate and honor the monarchy and the many kings and queens that had been elected.

At the palace, as part of the Naboo tradition, Queen Jamillia would host a big ball, with many of the higher class and government officials being invited, including the leader of the Gungans Boss Nass many of the Gungan Council.

Padmé watched the event on the holo-net news. She sighed before turning it off, telling herself while R2 came up to her "It's a pity that I can't join the celebration today." She sighed, sounding with a bit of depression in her voice as she turned off the holo-net and sat on the couch "It would've been wonderful to be there… with… Ani, and…" imagining it would've been wonderful to come to that party with Anakin as her date, made her sad as he wasn't feeling the same about her.

Padmé felt very depressed and heartbroken after witnessing Anakin making love to Dia in a way only true lovers would. For the last few days, she's been trying to avoid Anakin and Dia as much as possible, trying to mask her inner sadness with other distractions.

However, from around the corner, Anakin and Dia saw Padmé giving some small sobs while R2 was trying to comfort her.

After Dia told Anakin that she'd sensed that Padmé had seen them having passionate sex a few days back, he was shocked, but was even more surprised to learn from Dia that she believes that Padmé was secretly in love with Anakin as well. Anakin was a bit worried that Padmé might do something that would expose his and Dia's secret relationship in an act of rage or jealousy, despite it wasn't in her character to betray her old friends.

But up to this point, Padmé rather was avoiding him and Dia as much as possible, with both Jedi clearly sensing how Padmé was hurt and heartbroken deep down and tried very hard to hide it.

Now, Anakin and Dia felt sorry for Padmé as they looked how she was suffering from her broken heart.

Dia, holding Anakin's hand, said as she glanced at him "It really hurts me to see Padmé like this, Ani."

Anakin gave a small nod "Yeah. Me too," he then thought as they walked hand in hand out of the villa "I don't know how, but we have to talk with Padmé about it. If she holds on to her sadness, it will eventually grow into something sinister."

Dia knew that her boyfriend was right, but was unsure how to make her feel better "But how can we be sure that she will keep it a secret? What if she…?"

Anakin stopped and looked at his Twi'Lek girlfriend "I know it's a risk, Dia. But it's a risk we have to take," he then formed a little smile as he ensured her "And besides, I know Padmé well enough to know that she won't resort to hatred or vengeance."

Dia sighed while holding both Anakin's hands and softly rubbed them "I hope you're right, my love. I really do."

Both shared a soft romantic kiss.

Anakin and Dia then began to walk around the island, thinking how they could approach Padmé the best on this subject.

Not long after…

While the sun began to set and the stars began to show, one of the male servants was loading in some new bought food supplies for in the lake villa into a speeder-boat.

But once he'd loaded the last box on the boat, he was suddenly hit with an iron stick at the head, knocking him unconscious!

A male shadowy figure dragged the servant away from the dock, hiding him into an airspeeder-truck, where he changed clothes with his. When coming out of the truck, he placed his blaster up to his wrist and stepped on the speeder-boat, heading slowly towards the island-villa.

Back inside the villa, in her bedroom, Padmé was looking at the Japor Snippet that Anakin gave her ten years ago.

All kinds of emotions went through her mind, including sadness and anger. She glanced out the window, then back at the pedant. She held it tight as anger rose in her. Padmé was on the brink to yell and throw the Japor Snippet out the window…!

But at the last moment… Padmé stopped…

She slowly shook her head as she sad on her bed, looking back at the pendant. She sighed deep while closing her eyes and looked back up the ceiling with tears in her eyes.

Padmé tried to think… despite the moment she saw Anakin and Dia having sex was too painful for her to watch, she slowly began to realize that though she never got the chance to have Anakin… he looked so happy with Dia. Despite the Jedi-code, Padmé finally began to see that, Anakin and Dia just love each other too much to keep themselves bonded to the outdated Jedi-code.

Padmé looked back at the Japor Snippet with teary eyes, giving it a soft rub with her thump "Maybe… you and I weren't destined to be together, Ani…" she now knew, that in order for her to perhaps one day find that same happiness that Anakin found in Dia… she had to let him go. And after hearing the both of them how they saw love as a normal thing, even for a Jedi, and watching them making love as only true and passionate lovers would do, Padmé knew that Anakin and Dia were true soulmates.

Padmé slowly stood up, thinking she could better go and talk with Anakin and Dia about it… and tell them that though it hurts her she didn't got her chances with him, she wanted to let them know that at least she wants to try.

But as she was about to leave her bedroom, she heard a strange noise coming from the hallway.

"R2?" Padmé asked, thinking it was maybe her droid companion "Abé?" she called to one of the female servants she knew was probably still in the villa. But still, no answer came.

Curious, Padmé walked in further, seeing who it could be.

But then, she heard a breaking noise coming from the other room.

Padmé was getting a bit scared "Anakin? Dia?"

But suddenly, she was grabbed from behind, with someone covering her mouth! Padmé tried to scream, but it was no use.

"Shhhh!" the man told her to hush "It's be all over soon, Padmé. You're safe with me."

Padmé was further dragged away by the mysterious man, seeing to her shock two Royal Guards laying unconscious on the floor.

Just then, R2 rolled in from another room, seeing Padmé being taken and quickly hide around the corner. He beeped worriedly. Immediately, the droid took out a transmitter, contacting Anakin and Dia.

Back with Anakin and Dia…

Both Jedi, after knowing what they possibly could do to talk with Padmé of what happened after seeing them making love, Anakin heard a beeping from his transmitter. He looked, seeing a small flashing light came from it, shocking him and Dia, knowing that something was off.

Both quickly ran back to the villa.

With Padmé…

While the man dragged Padmé away from the villa, heading to the dock, she tried to fight him off of her, but his grab was stronger.

"Don't fight it!" the man whispered with anger and worry "You'll only make it more worse!"

But seeing that Padmé was not cooperative as he'd hoped as they came to the dock, near a speeder-boat, the man had no choice but to take out a syringe with greenish liquid in it.

"I'm sorry, my sweet Padmé… but you leave me no choice…" the man softly said, trying to stick the syringe to her neck. Padmé's eyes went wide in horror.

With all her might, she tried to get out of his grasp, biting his hand!

"AAAAARGH!"

Padmé then kicked him in the nuts, hurting him!

"HELP!" Padmé called out while she tried to get up and run "HELP ME!"

Security was alerted when they heard the senator's cry for help, with all the Royal Guards being informed, drawing their blasters and ran to the villa.

The man grabbed Padmé again while she tried to flee while she screamed.

"Dammit, Padmé!" he hit her hard in the head, knocking her half-unconscious and dragged her partly limped body with him across the dock, to the speeder-boat.

But then, Anakin appeared in front of him, igniting his blue lightsaber "Let her go!" Anakin ordered him.

Dia then jumped behind him, igniting her own blue lightsaber, warning him "You have nowhere to go!"

"Jedi!?" the man called in shockingly surprise "No matter," he said with a bit of confident "Guess I'll have to go to plan B." a jetpack appeared from his back, igniting it and tried to fly away with Padmé as his hostage.

Anakin and Dia chased after him, jumping high to the rooftops, with both using a combined Force Pull to pull him down!

The man crashed with Padmé down at the courtyard, with his jetpack sparking as it was damaged to be used.

As a last resort, he took out his blaster.

Padmé, who was gaining conscious, rubbed her head before being pulled up and the man pressed the blaster against her head.

Anakin and Dia jumped down, reigniting their lightsabers.

"STAND BACK!" the man warned them "Or… I'll shoot!"

Padmé panted with horror, while more Royal Guards surrounded the man holding Padmé hostage.

"Put the blaster down!" one of the lieutenants ordered him.

"Never!" the man cried out "She's mine, you hear me?! MINE!"

But, sensing that the man was bluffing and had not intends of killing Padmé and his mind was too scared to focus, Dia waved her hand, using a Jedi mind trick on him "You will let go of the senator and drop your blaster."

The man, being caught of guard by that mind trick, obeyed as he repeated her words "I will let go of the senator and drop my blaster." As soon as he released Padmé and dropped his blaster, the Royal Guards apprehended him, much to shock and disbelief that he'd so easily fell for a Jedi mind trick.

30 minutes later, while a few female servants were comforting Padmé of what happened, Anakin and Dia interrogated the kidnapper, who was now tied to a chair.

"Alright, you little intruder, tell us; why did you wanted to kidnap the senator?" Anakin started.

"Kidnap her?" the man asked in surprise "I didn't wanted to kidnap her." he tried to form a small innocent smile "I wanted to… help her."

"Help her?!" Dia asked in disbelief and a bit of anger "Taking someone against their will more looks like you're trying to help yourself." She then seriously asked him "Now, who the hell are you working for?"

The man shook his head "I don't… I'm not working for anybody! I came on my own!"

Anakin then used another mind trick on him and asked as he waved his hand over his head "You will tell us everything we want to know; who you are, why you wanted to kidnap Senator Amidala and what was your ultimate plan."

Standing no chance against Anakin's powerful Jedi mind trick, the man began to tell, being in a sort of trance "My name… is Kacen Fohn. I wanted to… take Padmé… cause I'm in love with her. I wanted to… take her to a far away place… where we could finally be together… forever."

Anakin and Dia exchanged a bit of surprised glance, but then narrowed their eyes at the man, whose name is Kacen Fohn "So, as we're seeing it right; you wanted to kidnap Padmé so you could have your way with her?" Dia asked him with a serious face "You make me sick."

Then Anakin asked him, using another Jedi mind trick "How did you even found out that Padmé was staying here?"

Again, in his trance, Kacen answered "I… heard all the news of Padmé life nearly taken by assassins on Coruscant. When they… said that the vote on the Military Creation Act was postponed, I knew something was fishy and that Padmé was being brought so safety. I… hacked into her apartment's data and found that she was… going to Naboo… So, using a hacking transmitter on her parent's holoprojector, I found that she was contacting her sister… leading me… to here."

Anakin rolled his eyes "I've heard enough." He then ordered some guards "Take him out of here."

The Royal Guards nodded and took Kacen into custody, handing him over to the authorities and would most likely being sentenced to imprisonment for attempting to kidnap Senator Amidala.

Later, Anakin and Dia sat with Padmé alone at the living room near the fireplace.

Padmé shook her head, hearing it was Kacen Fohn that was trying to kidnap her, making her sad "Why couldn't he just… leave me alone?"

Wandering how it came to this, Dia asked her "Do you know this Kacen?"

Padmé nodded "He's… my ex-boyfriend." She began to tell "We'd met a year after I became a senator. I was going out with a few of my handmaiden friends that night at a bar, where I'd drink too much and… I met him." she sighed, clearly showing regret "He was at first really nice as we get to know each other. Though I am a senator and I'm mostly on Coruscant while he has his job here on Naboo, we tried to make the best of it. But he… He was so… obsessed with me, trying to contact me constantly when I would come back, then apologizing, even sometimes asked things to show him on the holo-call, which I didn't wanted as it was so dirty!" She began to look sad again "As the weeks went by, he went out of control. But then… after not hearing from him for a few days, he suddenly showed up at my apartment on Coruscant. He was sorry and apologized for his behavior towards me. I… forgave him. So, trying to make it up, he took me out and…" she gave a big sigh "And just out of the open… he asked me to marry him."

Anakin and Dia exchanged a glance. But seeing the way Padmé showing regret and sadness, Anakin guessed "But you said 'no', didn't you?"

Padmé nodded "I told him that… it was too soon for me and… because my work is so important and that he'd only recently apologized after he made me crazy with his hundreds of holo-calls, so… I… I tried to be still nice to him, trying to tell him that we should give this more time and take it slow."

Padmé gave a sob.

"Then what happened?" Dia asked, but feeling it didn't end well as she could sense it from Padmé.

"He…" Padmé sobbed "He just… snapped. He was so angry, thinking that I was avoiding him and accused me of cheating and using him. He started to demolish stuff and beat a few people around him for no reason. I was so scared that he maybe wanted to hurt me, if it wasn't for the police to arrive. And then I told him… I didn't wanted to see him anymore." But Padmé shook her head "But even after he was released, he began stalking me and sending me all this weird and sometimes threatening messages that I need to take him back, saying that he saw his future with me and that I would carry his children and all…! I even went to the police and told that Kacen was stalking me and even threatening. He was arrested again and…" she almost cried "I truly thought it was over…!"

Dia hugged her "It's okay now, Padmé. He's not gonna hurt you again. That's a promise."

Padmé returned the hug "Thank you… for being there for me."

Anakin gave a shrug "It's only part of our task, milady," but he then added "but mostly because you're our friend and we won't let any friend of ours to fend for themselves."

Padmé broke the hug and smiled at Anakin. But then, feeling she did perhaps betrayed their trust by accidentally catching them in the act, made her feel down and told them "That's… kind of you. But… There's… something I need to tell you both."

Anakin and Dia allowed her to tell "What is it?" Dia asked, but was somehow feeling already what she wanted to say.

"I…" Padmé tried to say "I know about you both… being together… in love."

Anakin, going along with it despite already knowing after Dia had used her Force abilities to see that it was Padmé that had caught them having sex, so he asked "How did you know?"

Padmé felt her sadness coming back as she said "It was… two nights before when I… saw you two… together in your bed, Anakin… making love…" she felt horrible to admit it, but tried to say it, even with tears forming in her eyes and looked at Anakin "I was in love with you too, Anakin."

Anakin showed a bit of mixture emotions about this "You were in love with me?"

Padmé nodded while tears fell from her eyes "I wanted to…" words failed her as she felt so stupid back then "Before then… I contacted my sister, Sola, and she… gave me these tips to… dress myself more… revealing and… to seduce you to finally get your attention…!" she sobbed "When I walked to your room… I felt… so ready and open with my feelings that I wanted to make that night so special… but then… I saw you… with Dia… and I…" she began to cry.

Anakin and Dia both hugged her, seeing that she was sorry for spying on them, even though she didn't say it as it was too painful to tell the whole truth of what she did while watching them.

"Hey, hey, it's okay, Padmé. It's okay." Dia said, trying to comfort her "I understand that you're feeling hurt of what you saw," she then told her "but… me and Anakin have been in love with each other for years. And only since we were tasked by the Council to protect you… we just couldn't deny our feelings for each other anymore."

Anakin nodded. He then told Padmé his part "Listen, Padmé… maybe… 10 years ago things were different and I may have had… a crush on you… But that was a long time ago and right now… I do love you, Padmé, but more as a sister. And…" he glanced at Dia before looking back at Padmé "Dia, she… when we met, became best friends… and our feelings for each other emerged… She's truly the love of my life, and I wouldn't share it for anything in the universe… even if it means we would face terrible things or even being banished from the Jedi Order."

Hearing Anakin's words, seeing in his eyes he truly meant every word he said and he truly and deeply loves Dia far more then her, Padmé sighed while forming a small smile, while wiping away her tears "She's a lucky woman to have you, Ani." She then also told Dia "And… you don't have to worry. I won't tell anyone about the both of you being in a relationship, not even to the other Jedi." She held both her hands "Your secret is safe with me."

Anakin and Dia both smiled at Padmé and shared another hug with her.

The next day…

Padmé, wearing her bathrobe with underneath wearing her nightgown, walked out of her bedroom, greeting R2 before walking to the dining room, seeing the servants already placing things on the table for breakfast, Padmé asked them "Goodmorning. Uhm… are Anakin and Dia up yet?"

The servants all shook their heads, not knowing, while Abé told her "I think they're still asleep, milady."

Padmé nodded. Knowing that the servants are only tasked for preparing the food and are forbidden to enter either hers or the two Jedi's privacy, Padmé was relieved that at least none of the servants would ever enter either Anakin or Dia's room to caught them when having sex or sleeping together.

"Right, uhm… thank you." Padmé said and sat at her chair, eating the breakfast that the servants had prepared for her.

Meanwhile, in Anakin's bedroom, he and Dia were sharing passionate morning fuck together, with both in the doggystyle position.

Holding her mouth with her hand, Dia tried hard not to muffle her loud moaning, not wanting either the servants or any of the guards to hear them having sex.

"MMMMM! MMMMM! MMMM! MMM! MMM! MMM!"

Anakin, pounding his hard dick inside her wet pussy harder and faster, feeling he was gonna climax any moment, said, while also trying to remain quiet "Aaaaah! Oh… by the Force…! I'm gonna cum really hard, Dia…!"

Dia nodded, muffling while still keeping her hand on her mouth "Yes, Ani! Cum for me! Cum for me, baby!"

And with a few more thrusts, Anakin climaxed, while Dia climaxed at the same time.

Their climax lasted for almost 10 seconds before Anakin slowly took out his hard cock. He sighed while giving a soft slap on Dia's butt "Wow… Having sex in the morning is great…!" he removed the now filled condom from his dick and tight it.

Dia sighed, recovering from her amazing climax, while she smiled "Yeah, it sure does, Ani…"

Thankfully, though feeling a bit bad to use a Jedi mind trick on one of the servants who went out to do some groceries to secretly buy them some condoms, Anakin said "I know I shouldn't have used a mind trick on a servant in order to buy condoms without her knowledge, but I had no choice," he then awkwardly said while laying next to Dia, with both embracing "but drastic times ask for drastic measures, and people will get the wrong idea for a Jedi to go into a store and by condoms."

Dia chuckled while she reminded him "I remember that you weren't so shy or secretive when buying condoms back when we first dated."

Anakin sighed "I know. But I was only using a disguise then. And because we have to protect Padmé, I cannot just leave the villa."

Dia shrugged "Fair point." But then said "At least I'm glad that Padmé can be trusted with our secret and she's willing to keep our relationship a secret too, even for the Jedi."

Anakin nodded while he softly stroke her Lekku "I'm truly the luckiest guy in the galaxy to have you in my life, Dia Zebb."

Dia formed a sweet smile "Luck had nothing to do with it, Anakin. It was… destiny." And both shared a passionate kiss.

After a few minutes of kissing, Anakin told her "Despite I love to just stay in bed with you the whole day, we kinda still have a duty to fulfill and protect the senator."

Dia sighed "I know."

Both slowly got out of bed. After cleaning themselves, they started to get dressed.

While Dia was still busy, Anakin took something from his pocket, revealing the Japor Snippet that he'd made for Padmé ten years ago, which she'd given back to Anakin last night while talking for a moment alone.

Though Anakin stated that it was a gift to her, Padmé stated that she realized that this pedant should be given to someone that Anakin truly and deeply loves and that she isn't the one. So, Anakin did took the Japor Snippet back.

While thinking about something while softly stroking the pendant, Anakin thought that maybe he could make the Japor Snippet into a different shape, making it more special for Dia.

As Dia came out of the bathroom, Anakin quickly puts the Japor Snippet back in his pocket.

"You ready?" Dia asked him.

Anakin nodded "I am."

Both walked together to the dining room, having breakfast.

Though one heart was broken, two Jedi have found true love and were now bonded forever…

A/N: Sorry for posting this chapter a bit later than I had anticipated. With stuff happening to me privately with family and everything, I don't have much time left for myself to write. I am trying to make time to not disappoint any of you to wait for too long for another update… but sadly, I can never promise anything, but I do try.

Anyway, I'm gonna start writing a new story which is gonna take a lot of my focus.

But be assured, I will certainly return back to this as soon as I can.

As always… May the Force be with you all.
