Pulling Heart Strings~ Obi-Wan Kenobi Fanfic

~Attack of The Clones~

~10 years after TPM~

Obi-Wan and I hadn't spent much time together as we were both training our padawans. I was able to be given an excellent, top of the class student by the name of Melia D'liko. It didn't take long for her to adjust to the new role of a padawan, which was good in my eyes. On the odd times that I did come across Obi-Wan, he was usually training my brother up to be an excellent Jedi. Our padawans trained against each other, in lightsaber duels. We would exchange a few words, but nothing more. But every time I could feel my heart pound faster.  

In recent months, however, certain events have brought myself and Padme together. Now the senator, she was in grave danger. Several thousand solar systems have declared their intentions on leaving the Republic. Multiple other reasons have occurred also, one of which is count Dooku, whos making it harder for us Jedi to resume peace with the systems. Unfortunately, this has led to Senator Amidala to return to the Galactic Senate to vote on the creation of an Army to help aid with the Jedis problems. 

"Master Skywalker, will the Senator recognise you?' My young padawan asked as we walked down the hallway towards the senator's room.
"I hope so young one. It has been 10 years since our last pump in" I kept my attention ahead. Upon hearing the news of the Senators ship exploding on the landing pad, I had been sent to check on her and make sure she was alright. 
We reached the door to the room, raising my hand up to knock on it, Jar-Jar Binks opened it.
"Oh Theala Skywalker, messa so glad to see you!" He grabbed my hands in has as we shook.
"Likewise Jar-Jar. This is my padawan, Melia D'liko" They exchanged a handshake and we continued deeper into the apartment. 

"Theala!" Padme hurried towards me, carrying her heavy gown.
"Padme, its good to see you," I exclaimed and she held me in a quick embrace.
"Who is this?" She turned her attention to my padawan.
"Padme, this is my padawan, Melia. Melia, this is Senator Amidala, the former queen of Naboo."
Melia quickly bowed her head, smiling as she did.
"It's a pleasure to be in your presence, milady" Padme smiled.
"Please, call me Padme." Padme smiled, then looked back at me.
"I've just returned from a meeting with the council. Please, sit" We did as we were asked, and sat on the couch.
"And how did that go? I heard that after the incident on the landing pad that you may need some extra protection. Is this true?" I questioned. I fiddled with my grey robes slightly, and I crossed my legs.
Sighing, she looked out the window nearest to her.
"Yes, it seems so, although I protested that I was fine without. But the council insisted. So, they are sending Master Obi-Wan Kenobi to protect me. You are welcome to stay if you wish, the more to protect the less likely I am to get harmed" Sighing, she turned her attention back to us.
"I suppose so Senator, but you are aware that wherever Obi-Wan goes, Anakin follows" She smiled at my remark.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''

I sensed that Obi-Wan was on his way, and for some reason. I panicked slightly.
I could hear Jar-Jar talking with excitement as he let them in. 
"Senator Padme" Jar-Jar exclaimed. Padme made her way over from the balcony
"It's a great pleasure to see you again, M'lady"
"Its been far too long Master Kenobi" They exchanged as both I and my padawan stood up from the couch. 
I sensed Anakin's tenseness as him and Padme exchanged words, even going to the lengths to say she had grown more beautiful.
"Ah Master Skywalker and Melia, it's a pleasure to see you two. Surprised, actually" Obi-Wan made his way towards us, shaking our hands.
"Yes, a surprise indeed. We just came to check on the senator and she invited us to stay and help as we are not needed elsewhere." He smiled and turned his attention to Padme.
"Our presence here will be invisible m' lady, I assure you" Both my padawan and I stepped aside, and stood behind the sofa that Padme was on. Anakin became upset by the fact that they weren't here to investigate but to simply protect. As Padme left, I grabbed Obi-Wan before he went downstairs.
"I haven't seen you around the temple lately Master Kenobi, I have guessed that you had been sent on missions" I smiled, as he placed his hands on my shoulders, smiling.
"You guessed correctly young one. I have been busy"

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Obi-Wan had returned from downstairs, exclaiming that there was enough protection downstairs. Anakin grew anxious as he hated the idea of just waiting for something to happen. 
Anakin and Padme came up with an idea to basically use her as bait, which I personally hated as much as Obi did.
"She's covered the cameras Obi" I exclaimed as I looked at the security footage
"I don't think she  liked me watching her" My padawan laughed as she looked at Anakin
"I don't blame her" she stated, as she plopped herself on the couch. 

Anakin stated that it would all be okay, but neither Obi or I brought it.
For a few months, Anakin had been having these...weird dreams about our mother, causing him to not sleep very well. As he and Obi bickered on about the code and politicians, I could sense something odd. Very odd...
"Oi"
"I sense it too" The three of us rushed to Padmes room, and Anakin cut the slugs in half before I could protest, Obi jumped out of the window, catching onto a droid of some sort.
"Bugger, i knew he would do that" Still grasping onto my saber, I turned my attention to Ani, but both he and Melia had disappeared.
"Padme, are you alright?" I questioned as I kneeled next to her.
"Yes, but what was that all about. Wheres Obi-Wan and the padawans?" She questioned, still startled by the events that just took place.
"Well-" I interrupted myself with a slight chuckle.
"Obi-Wan flew out the window and Ani and Melia went after him, presumably on a speeder.
