Dear Diary,

I can't believe this! Palpatine is forcing me to leave Coruscant! The Jedi Council is sending me back to Naboo, with ANAKIN!!!

I know that Jedi are supposed to be the wisest beings in the galaxy but sometimes, Master Yoda can be a real Nerf herder! I mean, this is Anakin we're talking about! Not little, innocent, nine-year-old Anakin, tall, flirtatious, young adult Anakin!

And besides, the military vote is coming very soon! I haven't spent my entire career fighting for peace just to go on vacation during the Republic's most critical time!

But things are getting too dangerous. Those poisonous slugs got too close for comfort! I'm still on edge from last night's excitement. If it wasn't for Anakin... I could have been killed. Still, I'm not sure how I feel about Anakin watching me sleep. "Sensing with the Force," he calls it. STALKING is what I call it!

Don't get me wrong, Anakin can be sweet at times, but he's always staring at me with those eyes of his! It's just so, so... never mind!

Well, I better get packing!

Love, Padme
