Ellie's POV

I basically cried myself to sleep when I heard a knock on the door. I didn't even bother going down for dinner, so it must be Padme wondering what was going on or one of the handmaidens. If another life time and didn't juggling these feelings with another man, maybe we would work something out. But that would never happen no matter what as me and Anakin were put of a fucking prophecy as I was the Butterfly, the Goddess of the Force, who made every damn thing. They were more important than my desires and what I really want. I only showered and got in my pajamas before the need to break down again. I let out a sigh as I sat up and walked towards the door and opened it. 

Of fucking course, the force just loves to fuck with me. Anakin was standing there, concern written all over his face. I head back to bed when he walked in. "You're crying, Ellie." He points out. 

"I'm fine." I told him before going underneath my covers. 

"No, you're not. What's wrong?" 

"Nothing wrong." I lied. 

"Ellie, if it is about what happened earlier, we can pretend it never happened. I just got you back and don't want to lose you again. I don't want us to have this barrier and grow apart. Please." Anakin pleaded. 

I look up and saw that he was so scared with a lace of concern. Fearing of losing me after everything that has happened. 

"I don't want that either." I sneered. 

"Then why are you crying?" 

"Every damn thing!" I cried before calming down. "Look, you don't have to worry about losing me. I'm right by your side forever." 

"Forever, that's a long time, Ellie." He teased playfully. 

"Oh, please. It's written in the stars, much like the prophecies written about us, we will be together forever." I declared, forgetting about everything that happened moments earlier. 

"Together, forever." Anakin repeated, not knowing he had confirmed that in a different way.

"I'm not telling you two." I argued after Padme had asked me if I ever liked someone while the three of us are out on a picnic.

"Sure you do. You just don't want to tell us." Padme joked. 

"I'm not saying who." I scoffed. 

"Then, I have to pry it out of you then." Anakin teased me.

"Good luck with that. It only works on the weak-minded, but won't work on me." I scoffed while rolling my eyes. 

"Well, it doesn't hurt to try, Ellie." Anakin pried. 

"Alright, fine. Back on Earth, I did dated this guy. His name is Justin. He's two years older than me. He had dark brown hair and these beautiful blue eyes that made all the girls swoon over and-" "Alright, I get the picture." Anakin interrupted me, jealousy laced in his voice.

Well, if that was bad, wait till he learns that I have strong feelings and desires for his joint Master. He looks at Padme who was amused by the whole thing as if this is a joke. "Whatever happened to him?" Padme asked. 

"He ended up cheating on me with a rival of me... Tessa. Then, she cheated on him three years later and he's the one who broke it off with her. The last I heard of him, he dropped out of his political course and took up news reporting." I told them. 

"He's a bastard for cheating on you. He doesn't deserve you, Ellie." Alright then, Anakin. Calm your jealousy balls down! "And for changing course, he's the smart one." 

"You really don't like politicians, do you?" Padme asked, this time Anakin bit back an amused smirk. 

"I like two or three, but I'm not really sure about one of them." He said with a smile. "I don't think the system works."

"Really, Mr. Einstein. How would you have it work?" I asked as I crossed my arms. 

"We need a system where the politicians sit down and discuss the problem, agree what's in the best interests of all the people, and then do it." 

"That's exactly what we do." Padme answered. "The trouble is that people don't always agree. In fact, they hardly ever do." 

"Well then, they should be made to."

"By whom? Who's going to make them?" I asked. 

"I don't know. Someone." Anakin shrugged. 

"You?" Padme asked. 

"Of course not me." 

"But someone?" I questioned. 

"Someone wise." 

"That sounds an awful lot like a dictatorship to us." I snorted as Padme nods her head in agreement. 

"Well, if it works..." Anakin trailed off. I eyed him as he tried to keep it together. Oh, I see how it is as Padme lets out a laugh and said, "You're making fun of us!" 

"No, no." Anakin laughed. "I'd be much too frightened to tease a Senator and the Butterfly." 

"Still calling me Butterfly?" I sighed, knowing it's now useless to get people to stop calling me that. 

"And always will. Forever." Anakin chuckled as I giggled. 

Some things will never changed. I got up and ran through the meadows and jumped on one of the shaaks. 

"Ellie!" Padme squealed as I was riding that thing like a horse. 

"I know how to ride it!" I shouted. 

"I will laugh if you fail!" Anakin shouts back. 

"Bet!" I cried with a smirk. 

As soon as I said that, the shaak bucked, causing me to lose my balance and fall off. I pretended by trying to get up but fall back down. 

"Ellie! Ellie!" I heard those two yelling as they were rushing towards my side. 

Anakin turns me and I begin laughing and yells, "Suckers!" 

"You little-!" Anakin starts to laugh as I playfully drags him down as he drags Padme down with him, laughing like a little girl. Then, the three of us rolled down the hill, embracing tightly. Then, we stopped when both of them laying on the ground as I was on top of them. That was so much fun but on that day, something changes between us.
