When Padme first woke she wondered where she was. She felt peaceful and comfortable, not like she did when she slept in the slave room.
She slowly remembered everything. She remembered Anakin telling her where she could get breakfast when she was awake and hungry.
Padme sighed. Last night she had been too tired to be hungry. But now she was completely famished.
**********
Anakin looked up to see Padme approaching him. He softly smiled.
“Sit here,” he told Padme.
Padme did what was requested of her.
She watched as Anakin busied himself getting up and making her a breakfast. It was almost the first time in her life someone had actually served her.
“This is weird, you serving me, instead of me serving you,” said Padme.
“The first time I ate out it was weird for me too,” said Anakin.
“Why would that be,” asked Padme.
“I used to be a slave too,” said Anakin.
“Really? Why didn’t you say so last night? I wouldn’t have pulled a gun at you or wasted your time,” said Padme.
“Yeah, right. You didn’t trust me then,” said Anakin.
Padme laughed nervously.
“Sorry.”
“Hey, no harm is done. By the way, why do you trust me?”
“Because you trust me,” said Padme.
Anakin raised one eyebrow, a little which caused Padme to laugh.
“Really? How do you know,” he asked testily.
“I don’t. I have faith,” said Padme.
“Good. I do trust you though.”
“I know. So, are you married?”
“No. Why? Are you offering yourself as my wife,” asked Anakin.
They both laughed at this.
“No, I wasn’t. Why aren’t you married,” asked Padme out of curiosity.
“Well in order to be married you have to be a Jedi knight first. I’m only a padawan. And according to Obi-wan I don’t do things the right way. I am reckless and at that rate will never be a Jedi,” said Anakin in a mock voice which threw Padme in a set of giggles.
“You don’t sound quite like him. Anyways, will you get married after you become a Jedi,” asked Padme.
“Maybe if I find the right girl. If I don’t I’ll just end up a dedicated Jedi who thinks the only people that exist are the Jedi, well, not litterally.”
Padme smiled slightly.
“I’m sure that’s impossible. What’s going to become of me,” asked Padme.
“Obi-wan is talking with the Jedi council right now. They’re deciding what to do.”
Anakin took in Padme’s scared look before he continued.
“Don’t worry. If they decline you or send you back we’ll leave tonight. I’ll leave the Jedi order and marry you just to keep you safe,” said Anakin.
“You’d marry me just to keep me safe?”
“Yeah. Besides friends make the best companions. I wouldn’t mind being married to a friend,” said Anakin.
“I can’t let you give up everything for me,” said Padme.
“You wouldn’t have to. I would.”
Just then they heard footsteps and looked up to see Obi-wan sanding there peacefully.
This was the attitude that got on Anakin’s nerves the most. If all of the Galaxy was on fire Obi-wan would probably just be standing there in the midst of it all in a meditation service.
“Well,” asked Anakin.
Obi-wan put his hands out as if he were just rewarded a nice long vacation.
“Patience my young padawan, patience.”
Anakin was about to really blow his fuse when Obi-wan finally answered.
“Your case was reviewed this morning. Anakin and I are often on different planets. They said if you were willing to be on the road with us and serve us then you would be guarded by us,” said Obi-wan.
She threw her arms around Anakin.
“Isn’t that great news,” asked Padme.
Anakin gently pulled away.
“Master, how may I asked did you get them to go through that loop,” asked Anakin with his sarcastic smirk on his face.
“Never mind Anakin. You should be happy with this morning’s turnouts. Leave what happened in that room to me,” said Obi-wan.
“Okay, whatever you say master.”
“Good. As soon as you are done you will return to your chamber for meditation and then meet me in the training room for lightsaber training,” said Obi-wan as he left.
“Wow, that’s amazing. I can’t believe that everything is turning out alright so far. I wonder how long it will actually last,” said Padme.
“Hopefully a very long time,” said Anakin.
“Well, you better get going. Leave me. I can finish my own food, do the dishes and then find you.”
“Okay,” said Anakin.
He gave her a hug and a quick peck on the cheek.
He tried to ignore the electric feeling he felt when he held her close to him. It was like no other feeling he had ever felt.
Finally he pulled away.
He looked at Padme.
“Anakin this is for rescuing me.”
She quickly kissed him on the lips before turning around and starting the dishes. She felt herself being turned around and she felt Anakin kissing her back. This time it was much more passionate.
“There.”
With that he left for his days activities.
***********
Obi-wan couldn’t quite figure out why Anakin wasn’t paying proper attention to his lessons. He had long ago given up with his lightsaber training for the day, for fear he might kill his student.
He attempted to reach out with the force to figure out what was going on. He realized that Anakin didn’t want him to know because he had blocked him.
“Anakin, what is going on with you?”
“It’s about time you finally ask. Geez, next time do you think you can do that instead of trying to go through my head,” asked Anakin.
“I’m sorry Anakin. You are not answering my question. There you go once again. You are avoiding the question,” said Obi-wan in an unhappy manner.
“Well maybe if you’d stop a lecture for two seconds I could answer your question. The answer is quite simple. Believe me, it really is. I’m not telling you,” said Anakin
“If you are blocking me out of your mind- that isn’t good.”
“Let me guess. It’s another path to the darkside. How many paths are there again? I lost track after number 45,” said Anakin.
He bore his usual grin.
“That is not funny Anakin.”
“I’m sure it isn’t. But of couriousity is hiding my thoughts another path to the darkside. If it is I surely don’t want to follow it.”
