Ellie's POV

After changing into a plain black dress with a slit that stops at the top of my thighs and tan heels, I walked in between Anakin and Padme as I hand Anakin my lightsaber and he placed it right next to his on his belt.

And of course, I was still wearing the necklace that Anakin gave me when we were kids.

"Do my eyes deceive me or is that little Naberrie daughter? And the Butterfly?" I heard a familiar voice as it was the woman who used to babysit Padme and her sister, Sola. Mrs. Flora!"

"Mrs. Flora!" She replied as she gives her a hug as I walked over and hug her too.

"My, you have grown!" She gushed as she looks at us proudly. "You two make all of Naboo proud as our Senators. But you will always be that little girl I watched. And Butterfly... you will always be the light I will always look up to."

"Thank you." I smiled before saying, "We wish we would sit and chat, but we have limited time here."

"Oh, to be young and going on adventures again. Stay safe, Littlest Berrie. You too, Butterfly." Mrs. Flor said.

Then, we said our goodbyes and leave. "Naberrie?" Anakin asked Padme.

"My real last name." She answered. "My real name is Padme Naberrie. I took on the regnal name, Amidala, when I was elected Queen of Naboo. But only Ellie, my family, and the Council of Naboo knows of my real name."

"And now me." Anakin added with a smile.

"And now you." She teased before turning a corner, "And there's my house!"

"Don't be shy, Anakin! It's just Padme's family. You'll be fine." I teased him as I followed Padme as she was excited on seeing her family again.

"That's not what I'm nervous about." Anakin said, knowing the real reason why he's nervous. He's nervous on seeing his mother again.

I held his hand as I pull him along, ignoring the fluttering feeling that both me and Anakin felt. Then, the front door burst opened, and two little girls shouted, "Auntie Padme!" It was Ryoo and Pooja, her nieces.

"Ryoo! Pooja!" Padme exclaimed back happily as she gives them tight hugs. They giggled as they look up and saw me. "Auntie Ellie!" Yes, I was given the new title, Aunt Ellie, by Sola.

"Hey! Oh, I miss you two so much!" I giggled as I hug them tightly.

"We miss you too!" They both exclaimed.

Anakin smiled softly as I looked over at him. The girls looked over and saw R2. "Artoo!" They hugged him as R2 whistled happily.

"Come on, you two." Padme called out to us as we left the girls to play with R2 when the three of us entered the house.
