That night, Padmé sat on her bed, just thinking and only thinking.

Padmé would've known if she had been married before. That was too big a thing to forget.

But then again, she had only remembered the past couple years of her life.... and absolutely nothing before that.

Even though she was angry, confused, frustrated and stressed, she still felt sort of bad for leaving Anakin and those kids there. And she still couldn't get it off her mind that as soon as they saw her they had immediately called her 'Mommy'.

She sighed collapsing on her mattress. I'll just have to sleep on it, she thought, closing her eyes, shifting to get comfortable. This is all a dream anyway, right?

But no matter how hard she tried that night, Padmé didn't get any sleep at all.

The next morning, as Padmé drove to work, she yawned and rubbed her eyes over and over, her body and mind begging her for sleep. One whole day of work wasn't worth missing just because of lack of sleep.

She soon realized that it sounded like something was moving in the little compartment above her, where she usually kept her sunglasses. She ignored it for only about a minute or so, until she couldn't take it anymore. Highly irritated, she wrenched it open with her fingers and dug around it, until she grabbed something out, something that wasn't her sunglasses.

It was the strange little communicator thing Anakin had given her and told her to press the button in the middle if she needed him.

"There are phones for that," she had replied, but he had insisted in giving it to her, placing it in her palm and closing her hand around it.

Now, as she looked it at, she scoffed, rolling her eyes and tossing it to the floor somewhere in the front of her car. I don't need him, she thought.

And she continued to think that until she looked forward, and saw a flash, and the road in front of her turned upside down, and then everything turned pitch black.
