"don't worry, now that the council has ordered an
investigation, it won't take master obi-wan long to find this bounty hunter.""i haven't worked for a year to defeat the Military Creation Act not to be here when its fate is decided!"
"sometimes we have to let go of our pride and do
what is requested of us." anakin retorts. "as much as i hate to say this, anakin's right." i say, padme looks at me as if she was betrayed."pride?!? ani, naya, you're young, and you don't have a very firm grip on politics. i suggest you reserve your opinions for some other time." i scoffs at this, "you're only a few years older than us."
"sorry , m'lady. I was only trying to..." "ani, no!"
"please don't call me that." anakin says quietly and shanaya almost groans. "what?" padme asks, confused. "ani." he clarifies.
"i've always called you that... it is your name,
isn't it?" my jaw dropped, she didn't know his actual name?
and he still liked her? well, some people are shallow enough to only care about looks i guess."it's anakin. When you say ani it's like i'm still
a little boy... and i'm not." he seemed upset at the nickname and i could only think of how stupid and...submissive he sounded? the fuck?"i'm sorry, anakin . it's impossible to deny you've......that you've grown up." padme says, looking him over. my heart burned a little as anakin blushed at that. "okay, quit flirting." shanaya hissed out bitterly.
"what? we were not f-" i scoff, "yeah you were." my jaw clenched, anger bubbling in me for force knows why.
anakin glares at me as if trying to communicate, 'we were getting some where.' "anakin, a blind man could see the crush you have on the senator." both of them grew flustered at this and how she hated this.
i walked out before any of them could say anything.

"my jedi protectors will have to prove how good they are." padme grins at us, i give a small smile back. she was sweet and gorgeous. no wonder anakin had fell for her. i would've too. my heart's strings tugged as i see dormè and padme hug. jedi aren't allowed attachments after all. i had been distracted and had not noticed anakin being pulled away by master kenobi until he came back.
"time to go."
"figured." "i know." both i and padme say at the same time."suddenly, i'm worried..." padme mutters, i give her a sympathetic look. running away is not ideal for her, I knew this, but it is better than keeping her in danger.
"this is my first assignment on my own. i am too." I raise an eyebrow, "that makes it more worrying, pretty boy." "pretty boy?" I ignored his comment. "well, at least we have artoo?" both padme and anakin chuckle. i wasn't that amused.
artoo beeps in appreciation and i smile at him, i adore artoo.
