SIDE NOTE: I started crying writing this after watching a ship edit, so if some of the grammar is off that's why haha. I also wrote this over a few months just during free time, and don't expect all one shots to be this long haha. Please Please comment requests and prompts as I need some! Love you guys!!

Padme Amidala was asleep on her desk.

She, along with the help of Senator Organa and Senator Mon Mothma were working nights on end to get the speech done for the Ball. Senator Amidala had offered to write the speech, which she regrets dearly. Padme Amidala hasn't slept in days, and was an exhausted mess.

The time has come for the Annual Senate Ball. It's a glorious celebration, where all the Senators of the Galactic Republic and members of the Jedi Council are celebrating the day when the treaty of the Jedi Order and Galactic Republic became one. An event of Hope.

"Padme, get up!" Dorme said, patting the senator softly on her shoulder. Dorme and Sabe had been out running errands, and had returned back to see Senator Amidala asleep at her desk.

"Mm, what?" Padme looked down at the half eaten ration bar on her lap. "Oh, did I fall asleep again?" She blushed. After 72 hours of planning, organizing and editing, she had finally finished the speech, and was rather proud of it.

"Come on! We only have 3 hours to get ready for the ball." Dorme sighed.

"Are we late?" Padme rubbed her eyes.

"Yes we are very, very, late!" Sabe smiled with energy bursting through her face.

And with that, Padme and her two handmaidens hurried out of her office, heading straight to the young senators apartment.

"Dorme, start pouring my bath please. Sabe, help me pick out a dress please."

In 2 hours, Padme managed to get ready for the Ball with just an hour to spare. She sat down on one of the many lavish couches and listened to the holo net.

"-Now, back to you Tia! Hello this is Tia from Republic Romance and today we are discussing the tragic love story between Duchess Satine of Mandalore and Obi Wan Kenobi, Jedi Master and General. When he-" Padme turned off the Holo net. She refused to listen to her friends be talked about so terribly. Even if she knew it was true. She sighed.

"Sabe, what time is it?" Padme asked, attempting to not sound as annoyed as she was about the reporter.

"It's 18:32, Milady," Sabe responded. "You should get going."

Padme got up and started making her way to the door. "Three-pio, watch over the apartment please."

"Of course, mistress Padme." Her golden friend walked away.

Anakin Skywalker was dreading the ball. He, and Obi-wan were elected to be the representatives of the Jedi Order at the ball.

"Another opportunity to watch senators get angry and start debating." He thought as he left the Jedi temple with Obi-Wan.

"I sense the frustration in your mind. Care to tell me?" Obi-Wan asked politely.

"I mean, these balls are just stupid, all it is is people dressing up to get angry and laugh." Anakin re-called last year's senate ball.

"Might it help to remind you that Senator Amidala is coming?" Obi-Wan smirked to himself.

Anakin blushed for a moment, but snapped out of it.

"Well, might I remind you that Duchess Satine is coming?" Anakin smirked back.

"Oh, very well then." Obi-Wan blushed.

The duo drove through the Coruscant night skies, reaching the land platform where the senate ball was taking place.

***********************************************************************************************

"Good evening, Senator Chuchi. How are you doing?" Obi-Wan shook hands with the young senator. Out of the hundreds upon hundreds of senators in the Galactic Republic, very few Obi-Wan didn't dislike. Senator Chuchi was one of the few, along with Senators Amidala, Organa and Mon-Mothma. The others were selfish snobs, crooks, and well known Separatists.

"I'm going to go grab something to eat, I'll be back in a minute." Anakin smiled politely at the Senator, and made his way to the elaborate options of food. Suddenly, he sensed a new presence. A very familiar one, that put him at ease. Anakin turned around to see his wife entering the building.

"General Skywalker." She smiled.

Anakin's jaw dropped. Padme looked absolutely stunning. She was wearing a gorgeous navy dress, where the top fitted tightly around her and the bottom was loose and flowy. The top was off the shoulder with jewels that sparkled like the night sky, with similar jewels in her hair. It had an open back and was a bit revealing, which always drove Anakin crazy. Along with all of the other young men around the couple.

"She is the most beautiful woman in the galaxy." Anakin thought to himself. Realizing he's been looking at her for too long he quickly responded.

"Senator Amidala, pleasure to see you."

"The pleasure's all mine General."

"Care to dance M'lady?" Anakin asked playfully. Padme rolled her eyes and giggled.

"I would be honored, General."

***********************************************************************************************

*two dances later*

The couple made their way off the dance floor to the side of the room.

"So General Skywalker, how are you doing this evening?" The young senator asked politely.

"If I'm being honest, I rather not be here. But watching Obi-Wan and Satine flirt is always entertaining." Anakin chuckled. Padme nudged him in his stomach.

"Ani!"

"What, it's entertainment! It makes 'Keeping Up With The Kravises' or whatever the kriff that is look boring." He smirked a bit, with his shaggy hair covering his piercing blue eyes.

"You are terrible." Padme shook her head.

"Well might I make up for that tonight?" He asked scanning the room to find a place to be together. Oh how badly the young man wished he could be married to Padme out in the open, no Jedi Order code to hold him back. He took her hand and started moving towards the doors to leave.

"Ani, we shouldn't leave yet" She whispered.

"Yes." Anakin gave her the look that couldn't make her refuse. She sighed.

"Very well then." Padme said with a twinkle in her eyes.

The couple moved out of the party, knowing that the real excitement had only begun.
