Towards the future I see

Chapter 6 Part 1

"Mira, have you seen my notes?" Padme asked as she went through the data in her datapad.
"It's in this one," I say as I pass her another pad. "And there is a meeting in the evening with the delegates who want to discuss the issue before tomorrow's senate meeting." I remind her.

"Thank you. And before that..."

"You wanted to go through the information of Mandalore as to how things are going after the corrupt prime minister was arrested. Countess Satine sent a message of that." I said and pointed back at the pad I had given her a moment ago.

"Good job. I might hire you for real soon." Padme said smiling. "If you would have been born earlier I might have chosen you as one of my handmaids when I was Queen."

"Really?" I asked with obvious surprise. "I mean... I'm flattered... I mean... shouldn't I have at least looked like you? Pretty, I mean... I mean, I'm not pretty as you..."

Padme chuckled at my nervousness and embarrassment. I was just making more of a mess of myself.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to tease you. But I did mean what I said about doing a good job." Padme explained.

Now I was simply blushing. I did a good job because I was taught well. And I wanted to do something in exchange for her looking after me. I heard the door opening and both Padme and I turned to see who it was. It was Anakin.

"I have free this evening and tomorrow." He announced as he walked to Padme.

"That is good to hear. But I have a meeting later today and tomorrow." Padme lamented.

"Then we have to spend a good time now before you go," Anakin said before he kissed Padme.

"Let me first get out of the room," I said as I walked to my room and covered the corner of my eye, so I wouldn't see them.

"Come on, you already know our secret." Anakin teased.

"Yes but it is easier to say I didn't see anything if I really don't see anything," I said louder.

"Or you could sew your eyes shut." Anakin teased but that got him an elbow hit from Padme.

"I'm not that childish..." I retort when something hits me.

I froze right there as it got clear. I hadn't thought about it through then but it made something clear to me. I had been n idiot. No, not an idiot. Childish. Anakin and Padme noticed that something was wrong.

"Mira? Mira, what is it?" Anakin asked.

I came back to reality. The thought was brief but it made sense. I knew what to do but at the same time, I hesitated.

"Um, ... Is Master Yoda in Coruscant?" I asked.

"Yes, why?" Anakin asked.

"I... I need to talk to him." I said as I swallowed.

--

"So, ready you are?" Master Yoda asked.

"Yes... um... how about I start with what we agreed?" I asked.

Anakin made it possible to meet somewhere that wasn't the Jedi temple, Padme's house, or the Senate building. This conversation was to be secret. Well, as secret as possible. Besides, me and Yoda, there was also Obi-Wan and Anakin present. The place we met was a separate building used to accommodate delegates that came from out-worlds to Coruscant. Anakin had gotten us a room that had no surveillance inside the room.

"Of course." Master Yoda said letting me begin.

Obi-Wan and Anakin shared a glance since they had no idea what Yoda and I had talked about before.
