Star Wars: Twisting Fate

Going to Naboo

It was morning when they arrived back at Padmé's apartment. Rey slept on Anakin's shoulder the whole way back. When they finally got there, Padmé and her guards were out there waiting. Rey was still out cold, so Anakin picked her up, and carried her inside.

Anakin sensed Padmé's rage as he sat down on the couch with Rey sitting next to him. Anakin was knocked out the minute he hit the couch. Obi-Wan smiled at them, and realized they reminded him of himself and Duchess Satine.

Was love really such a bad thing? Ben groaned as he trudged through the door. "Ugh! What a NIGHT! I am so super TIRED!" Obi-Wan shushed him, he pointed to Rey leaning against Anakin, and vice versa.

Ben understood and smiled. Finn and Poe walked in and immediately stopped talking with each other to look at the sleeping Padawans. Luke came in, and immediately turned red with anger.

He walked over to the two Jedi, grabbed a throw pillow, and whacked them across the head with it. They immediately jumped up, expecting another intruder.

Rey saw who it was and put her head down. It was Luke, and he was ticked off. "Master, can we speak in private?" Rey asked respectfully. Luke nodded.

Rey looked over at Ben and he instantly understood what she wanted. "Ben, you too!" She walked towards one of the guest rooms, and gestured them to follow. Luke nodded and followed her with Ben right behind him.

When they were out of the room Anakin looked at Poe and Finn suspiciously. "You know what that was about?" They nodded their heads no.

Anakin sighed softly. "Why does Luke hate me? He gets upset every time I ask him about the future, or he gets mad because I have an attraction towards Rey! Why?"

Padmé gasped softly when Anakin all but admits he's in love with Rey. "Don't you love the senator, Anakin?" Poe asked. Anakin scoffed. "I mean, she's a good friend, but I have felt stronger feelings for Rey in the past few weeks that you all have been here than I ever did with Padmé! Yeah, so I used to have a crush on her, but she was literally the first offworlder I met. Rey's... Rey's different! I think I might be--"

Obi-Wan(who is still very much in the room) sighed. "Anakin! Be careful of your emotions!" Anakin looked down to the ground, embarrassed at his almost love confession.

"What's taking them so long?"

In the other room, the others were still talking. "Rey, what are you doing? Why do you keep flirting with my father?" Rey sighed. "The only way for me to protect him from my grandfather is to get close to him. When we were traveling here, Obi-Wan came to me, he told me that I have to stop Padmé and Anakin's love from sprouting, therefore you, Ben, and Leia wouldn't exist!"

Luke sighed and nodded his head. "So you're not in love with my father?" Rey looked up at him. "I don't know!" Ben sighed. "Come on, the others are waiting for us!"

The first thing the trio heard was Anakin say, "I have felt more feelings for Rey in the past few weeks that you all have been here than I ever did with Padmé!" Rey's heart fluttered as she blushed. "What's taking them so long?" Obi-Wan asked.

Ben bumped into her making her gasp. Anakin heard them and Luke sighed turning the corner of the hallway. Rey and Ben soon followed. Anakin blushed red when he realized they were listening. He glanced up at Rey who... Was blushing TOO! Did she feel the same way?

Obi-Wan knew he sensed them... Her especially! He sighed tiredly. At least he doesn't have to worry about the senator being object of Anakin's affections. "Come on, we still have to report back to the Council!" With that they all went back to their respective speeders and zoomed towards the Jedi Temple.
