I was sitting on the stairs near the igloo. Lars, Shmi's husband, told us that Anakin's mother had been kidnapped by Tusken after they looted the house. Anakin had gone outside to recharge his batteries, or so he told me. I see Padme walking forward, up the stairs. She comes out of the igloo. I get up and follow her.

I see her take Anakin in her arms. And there I am, still holding the candle, great. Anakin starts talking to Padme, I walk over to them before Anakin leaves after I get there.

"Where is he going? I ask.

- To find his mother."

I nod my head before turning to Anakin who was heading to a speeder. Padme addresses me.

"Oriana, please go with him... Imagine if something happens to him?

- He's big, he doesn't need me." I say.

Padme looks at me with a puppy dog look, begging me with her eyes. I cast my eyes one last time discreetly towards Anakin seeing him getting ready to leave.

"Okay..." I say.

Padme thanks me with a smile. I put the blaster back on my belt before approaching the speeder.

"Hey Merlin the wizard! I'm coming with you." I say.

The blond man turns to me before speaking up.

"Did Padme ask you to do this?

- Telling you no would be lying to you." I say.

Anakin smiles softly, though I know he's only doing it to show me he's okay. Even though I knew deep down the situation was affecting him. I walk up behind him, folding my hands against my chest.

"Your hands." Anakin said.

I lay my eyes on him, Anakin turns his head towards me, meeting his gaze with mine.

"No, I'll be fine."

Anakin sighs before lowering his gaze to my hands, he speaks up.

"I wasn't asking your opinion.

- And I wasn't asking yours either. Just go."

He sighs before turning, Anakin immediately starts up at full speed causing me to tip back slightly. I instinctively put my hands around Anakin's waist, almost falling over. I feel Anakin stifle a laugh.

He did it on purpose, just to get me to do what he wanted. I roll my eyes before kicking him lightly in the leg and telling him to shut up. We then start to cross the desert, the air caressed my face and made my hair fly. The sun was slowly starting to set. The sunsets were particularly beautiful on Tatooine. I lay my head gently on Anakin's back, suddenly exhausted before continuing to watch the sunset. I close my eyes letting the warmth of the sun warm my body.

I feel Anakin start to move, so I look up realizing that I was almost falling asleep. I sit up before I see Anakin coming down. There were two large machines in front of us, about twenty meters high each. I recognize a Jawa in front of us. Anakin walks towards him.

I look around, the sky was dark, the stars were beginning to show. But we could still see the glow of the sun on the horizon, creating a yellow and dark blue contrast in the sky. I see Anakin turn back towards me.

"What did they want? I ask.

- I was just asking them the direction to the Tusken." He says as he walks back up.
