Soheila
Me and Padme returned to her apartment after being given an order from the council that we had to protect her while Obi Wan tried to find the bounty hunter.
Padme wasn't happy to find out the council was planning to send her back to Naboo but she had to follow orders, so I was helping her pack her things.
I was excited to go back to Naboo, especially because I could visit my home there. I hadn't been there for a while and I was starting to miss it, and I'm sure Padme would realize how much she's missed it too as soon as she gets there.
"Which one do you like better?" She asked, pulling me out of my thoughts as she pointed to a yellow dress with flowers on and a white dress that flowed into a light pink.
"Both?" I replied. I had never really worn nice dresses. "They both look good on you," I said truthfully.
"What would I do without you, Soheila." She said with a smile, packing both the dresses.
"Do you know where Anakin is?" I asked, I hadn't seen him in a while and I wanted to talk to him.
"I think he's on the ship waiting, go see him if you'd like, I'll pack the last of my things then come and join you," She said.
"Okay, thank you Padme," I said and left. I got on the ship and sat next to Anakin. I still couldn't believe he was really here, after a these years.
"What are you thinking?" He asked. "I'm just amazed how you're actually here with me, after so long," I said with a chuckle, looking at him and smiling.
He smiled back and I looked down. Padme entered the ship soon after and sat down with us, we all prepared for our journey to Naboo.

When we arrived at Naboo, we helped Padme unpack all her things then me and Anakin decided to have a look around, although this was my home, I hadn't been here for so long and I wanted to remember what it was like.
Anakin walked over to a balcony and leaned against it, I stood next to him and stared at the ocean.
"I love the water, I used to swim to that island every day and sit in the sand, it was so relaxing." I said, pointing towards a small island in the distance.
"I don't like sand, It's course and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere, not like here. Here everything is soft." He said while taking a hold of my hand.
I turned to look at him and he smiled, I smiled back, he started leaning in and I got nervous, his lips almost touched mine but then I realized what could happen if anyone found out about this.
"I'm sorry," Anakin apologized, we both looked down, my heart was racing. A wave of emotions rushed through me, I knew it was Anakin, but I had never felt this emotion from him before, what was it?
I cleared my throat and looked at Anakin, immediately regretting what just happened.
Lets go back. I said through my thoughts, I dont think I could speak to him aloud right now.
We returned to my home which me, Ani, and Padme were staying at. It was a three bedroom house, luckily.
I decided I would just stay in my room most of the night to avoid any akward encounters that may happen with Anakin.
I sat on my bed, and started unpacking my things when I heard the door open, I looked over and saw Padme, "You've been acting weird since we got inside, whats going on?" She asked.
"If I tell you, promise not to tell anyone else or freak out," I said seriously. "Of course I won't tell anyone I'm your best friend Sohe," She said with a smile.
I knew I could trust Padme, so I decided to tell her what happened between me and Ani, hopefully she could give me some advice on what to do.
"Me and Anakin almost kissed."
