As I woke up, I felt that Anakin had his arms wrapped around my waist. I turned around and nudged myself into his bare chest. "Good morning." He said with a low, groggy voice. Looking up at him, he had his eyes closed. "I like that." I said, smiling up at him. "Like what?" His sleepy voice asked. "You saying good morning to me in your bed."

Anakin let out a low chuckle and opened his eyes, "And I like having you in my arms in the morning."

"Maybe I should sleep over more often then." I chuckled. "Not maybe. You are." Anakin stated, tightening his arms slightly.

Something seemed different in me. Anakin has made me happier and felt more protected somehow. I've never felt like this. The feeling scared me a little, but I accepted it.

"We should get ready." I wanted to focus my attention on something other than my thoughts. Anakin groaned while I left his arms. "I don't want to get ready. I just want to lay in bed with you." 

"Unfortunately, we have to actually do things today. I'm actually excited to get out of Coruscant for a bit. Naboo is beautiful, I'd go there any chance I get." I spoke as I grabbed my belt and robe that laid on the back of the chair. "I'm fine with any planet. Just not Tatooine. Or any desert for that matter." Anakin put his arm over his face, covering his eyes.

"Come on. You have to get ready." Going to the side of the bed, I held his arm and slightly pulled him. "Fine." He groaned, slowly standing up in front of me. His face tilted down at me, his eyes piercing mine, sending butterflies through me.

Forcing myself to back away, I went into his bathroom. Pulling my hair up into a ponytail, Anakin stood behind me, leaning against the doorway with his arms crossed. The veins in his arms popped out of his skin. His chiseled stomach and torso caught my attention for a brief moment. 

"You're so beautiful, y/n." Grinning at him through the mirror, I pulled out a few strands of baby hairs. "You're pretty too, I guess." Anakin raised an eyebrow and walked behind me. Placing his hands on my waist, he spun me around. "You guess?" Those blue eyes burnt through mine.

I nodded, mesmerized at what was happening. "Funny since I saw you checking me out." My cheeks blushed, causing me to drop my head to hide my embarrassment. Putting a finger under my chin, Anakin lifted my head to face him. Smirking at me, I pushed him away. 

"I have to go back to my room and get my bag." I quickly hurried out of the bathroom and went to the door . Anakin smirked, "I'll see you later then."

After saying goodbye to my Master, I made my way towards the ship. Ahead of me, I saw Obi Wan and Anakin talking to each other. Anakin gave his Master a smirk prior to putting his bag in the ship.

Walking up to speak to Obi Wan, he smiled, "Hello, y/n." I bowed my head, "Hello, Master." Obi Wan laughed, "You can call me Obi Wan. I think we're good enough of friends to use our first names." 

"I agree, Obi Wan." He let out a chuckle, "I best be letting you go. Goodbye y/n." Obi Wan leaned close to my ear and whispered, "Take care of Anakin. Make sure he doesn't do anything foolish."

"I will." I stepped up onto the ship and pressed the button, putting my bag next to Anakin's as the door closed. 

Meeting Anakin in the cockpit, he was already sat in the pilot's seat. Taking a seat next to him, he flipped a few switches, starting the engines. "Are you ready?" 

"Yeah." I strapped myself in. He pushed down a lever, lifting us off the ground and taking us into space.

Out in space, multiple new Republic ships sat next to Coruscant. I've never seen them before. 

Shaak Ti spoke of our new army after I woke up, but I've never seen the navy they had. It was incredible. "Anakin." I spoke as I set the coordinates for Naboo in the computer. "Yeah?" He asked, pressing a few buttons. The ship beeped alerting us that we could go into hyperspace. Sending us into hyperspace, we sat back in our chairs.

"Where did the clones come from?" He turned his chair to me and spread his legs. "Kamino. When the Senate gave the emergency powers to the Chancellor he approved of the already made army." Spinning my chair to face him, I raised an eyebrow. "Already made?"

"The Jedi Sifo-Dyas ordered the making of the army after Darth Maul was revealed. He wanted to help the Republic but went behind their backs to order the army." Anakin explained. "What happened to him?"

"Dooku killed him by shooting down his ship over Oba Diah years ago." Anakin explained, moving his head to watch ahead of us. "Thats horrible. I bet the council appreciates his help to the Republic." I expressed. "I hope they do. Without the clones, I don't think we'd be able to win this war. There's a scarce amount of Jedi in the galaxy." Anakin spoke as we came out of hyperspace.

We landed on a small platform outside of Padme's lake house. I grabbed my bag and opened the door. The moment I stepped onto the ground, I felt the crisp, fresh air. I couldn't help but close my eyes to embrace the environment. The sounds of small waves around us comforted me, along with the warmth of the sun. To my left, I could feel Anakin's eyes burning into me. To my right, Padme and Captain Typho came towards us. 

Opening my eyes, I saw that Padme was wearing a beautiful slim and long dress that faded from yellow, pink, and purple. Her hair was folded on the back of her head, held up by silver bands. She looked stunning.

"Welcome back y/n and Anakin." Padme spoke as she hugged both of us. "Thank you." We said at the same time.

"Anakin, I'm so sorry for your loss." Padme commented as she put her hand on his back and started to walk with him. They continued to speak to each other while I trailed behind them with Captain Typho.

As we walked into the house, Anakin and I departed to the same rooms as before. I glanced at him from down the hall and his eyes met mine. Smiling at him, I went into my room and closed the door with my back.

I threw my bag on the floor and sauntered to the balcony overlooking the lake and mountains. I missed this view.

Closing my eyes, I began to meditate. Through meditating, I felt peace, harmony, and serenity, the principles of the Jedi flow through my body.

But then I felt something else. Something completely worse and different than what my training has taught me. Waves of pain, hate, and suffering flowed through my mind and body. Screams filled in my head including the sounds of a lightsaber. Anakin appeared in front of me in my head and was holding his chest in pain. "Don't do this." A distorted voice said as Anakin whooshed away into nothingness.
