Padme couldn't believe what she had just heard from anakin. Palpatine was a sith LORD?

"How could this be?" She said, her voise wavering.

"And the worst thing is," Ani started to say, "Is that those visions- those... NIGHTMARES of you, he made them!"

Padme was in total shock.

She noticed Anakin was sobbing. He wailed, "He was trying to pull me to the dark side."

Padme examined her traumatized husband. She knew Palpatine had been like a father to him, and that this was a grand betrayal. Palpatine had been her own friend after all, a fearless leader in the clone wars. How could it be that he was the puppet master? How could he have fooled them? *How could he have deliberately caused all this stress, this suffering, this pain?*

Anakin must have sensed her questions through the force, as he really broke down.

Padme felt horrified watching him cry  like that. She took him in her arms and held him. She was so bittersweet, the sith had been destroyed, but her friend had also caused so much damage to the universe. All she could do was be grateful her husband was still there.

Anakin was the only one that could understand how terrifying those nightmares were.

Just then, the door of her apartment creaked open.

Padme yeeted (yote?) Anakin into a closet as the door opened to reveal Jar Jar.

"Padme, meesa so, so glad to tells yousa that with no leader, da separatists are surrender! Weesa going to meet the Senate tomorrow for big talker."

"Thank you, Jar Jar. See you tomorrow."

"Okie Day!"

Once the door was closed again, Padmé looked over at Anakin and saw that his tears had almost dried.

He began to say, " Its probably time for me to go..."

Padme pleaded with him, "No, please, I need you Ani."

Anakin held her tight, and smiled delicately, for the first time in a long week.

"Alright."
