"I need to shower." I broke away from Anakin as I stood up from the bed. I felt his eyes burn into my back.

Shutting the door behind me, I left it open a little. Turning on the shower, I waited until the water was warm. Extending my arm to feel if it was warm, I decided to step in.

Letting the water hit my face for bit, I turned around and closed my eyes, tilting my head back. Then, I heard the curtain slide. "Nice of you to join." I told Anakin. "I wouldn't miss it." He affirmed.

I felt him staring at me by the burning sensation on my skin. Opening my eyes, I stepped past him to get the shampoo. "How long do we have?" I asked. "About an hour and a half." Anakin replied as he stood under the shower head while I ran shampoo through my hair with my fingers.

Once I was done, I told Anakin, "Come here." Anakin took a step to me and stood over me, looking down. "Squat down or something, I can't reach." Anakin chuckled and bent down to be face to face with my chest.

I jumped when Anakin's fingers grazed my chest. "Who gave you this?" Looking down where his fingers were I replied at his question of my scar, "Dooku." Anakin's fingers grazed my hip, "And this?"

"Ventress I think. Could've been Dooku. You can rinse your hair now." Anakin stood back up and implied, "You go first." Rolling my eyes, I stepped past him and went under the shower head. Tilting my head back, the water ran down my hair, taking the shampoo with it.

Anakin lathered himself in soap as I finished rinsing my hair. Once I was done I spoke, "Your turn." We moved past each other and Anakin rinsed his hair as I guided the soap around my body with my back to him.

Anakin's fingers touched my back, "Geonosis." I chuckled in embarrassment, "You saw?" Anakin explained, "I heard you scream, then saw why." I turned around to face him, "Okay, my turn."

Anakin stood still. "Anakin, come on." I pouted. Anakin placed his hands on my cheeks and pulled me into him. His lips connected with mine. Kissing back, we were both under the shower head.

Anakin pulled away, but kept his forehead close to mine, "How did I get so lucky?" I smiled, "Well, I decided that I liked you and that I should give you a chance and-" Anakin chuckled, "Shut up."

Anakin and I laid on our backs in our bed in our outfits for the mission. The only thing missing was his armor and my cloak. "You know what I just realized?" Anakin turned on his side to face me and propped his head up with his hand, "What?"

"This is our bed now." Anakin replied, "I guess it is." I turned my head to him and grinned, "We're married now." Anakin smiled, "We are, Mrs. Skywalker." I chuckled, "Yes we are Mr. Skywalker."

I stared back up at the ceiling and relaxed my face. "Y/n, have you ever though about having a family?" Anakin asked. I shrugged, "I did as a child. I kinda stopped when I started my Padawan training. Haven't thought about it since."

"Yeah." Anakin murmured. "What about you?" I asked him. He smiled, "Honestly, I've never thought about it until now. I guess loving you gives me new ideas."

"I'll take the credit for that." I declared. Turning my body to him, I snuggled into Anakin's chest and he placed his chin on the top of my head. "Once this war is over, we can have our own family." Anakin advised and wrapped his arms around me. "You think so?" I questioned.

"I have to. If I fulfill the prophecy, the war will be over. We would be able to leave the order since there's no more war. We could start a family on a remote planet or not. I'm fine wherever, as long as I'm with you."

"I'd love that Anakin." His words made me smile. Can this war end any quicker? "Should we go prepare the ship?" Anakin groaned, "Not yet. I'm not done soaking this in."

"Soaking what in?" Anakin responded, "This. Us. Peace and love." Slightly peeking up at Anakin, I saw his eyes were closed and lips curled into a smile.

Lowering my gaze, Anakin spoke, "I love you y/n."

"I love you, Anakin."

"Master, Ahsoka, R2, and I helped Bodhi and Rex prepare the ship. We're ready to go at anytime." I looked at Anakin out of the corner of my eye, "Very well then. Let's go."

We went onto the ship and walked into the cockpit. Anakin and I sat in the pilot and co pilot seat while Ahsoka, Caleb, Rex, and Bodhi sat behind us. R2 was by the door. "Ready?" Anakin asked. We nodded, allowing him to take off.

Once in space, Anakin said, "Set the coordinates to Zygerria." Spinning my chair, I punched in the coordinates to Zygerria in the wall of the ship. "Ready."

"Hang on." Anakin said as he grabbed and pulled down the lever, sending us into hyperspace. Sitting back in my chair, I turned to Ahsoka and Caleb. "Ahsoka, Caleb, I want to apologize what happened that night. I wasn't being a role model and a teacher. I'm sorry."

Caleb and Ahsoka looked at each other before grabbing each of my hands. "I forgive you, Master." Caleb said. "I forgive you too." Ahsoka smiled at me. Smiling at them, the ship jerked out of hyperspace.

I could sense Anakin's anger, but didn't know why until I turned around. There were hundreds of ships heading to Zygerria for the slave trade.

"It looks like Zygerria is a popular place these days." Anakin said. "They're attracting a lot of high class scum." I observed the high class looking ships.

Anakin flew us down through the clouds and landed the ship outside of the city. Once we were stopped, we got up and followed R2 to the ship's doors.

"Remember, I'll keep the queen occupied while you two go find the missing colonists." Anakin told Rex and Bodhi. "How do you plan on keeping the Queen occupied?" Bodhi asked as he and Rex put on their helmets. Anakin chuckled as he slid his helmet on, "Well, with my magnetic charm, of course."

Anakin's words made me shoot him a look as Ahsoka and I put on our cloaks the covered every part of our body except our eyes. "Of course." Caleb sighed and put his helmet on. When Ahsoka and I were dressed, we walked to the guys.

"Hold onto this will you buddy?" Anakin I clipped his lightsaber and held it out for R2. R2 beeped and extended his part to take our lightsabers as we unclipped them and held them out to the him.

Caleb pressed the button and the doors whirred open. A platform extended from the ship to the ground under us. Walking down, Ahsoka spoke, "Remind me why we're the ones playing the slaves."

Anakin shrugged, "I tried it once. I wasn't very good at it. Besides, the role of Master comes easily to me." Ahsoka frowned, "Really? Well this time try to be convincing at it." Anakin smirked, "I always am, Snips." Ahsoka rolled her eyes as we continued towards the city.

Going through the gates, we saw how bad this city was. All around us were people being showed off in skimpy outfits they obviously felt uncomfortable in. "How can a civilization be this advanced but still practice slavery?" Caleb asked in disgust.

"It makes them wealthy and powerful at the expense of others." I answered as I looked around me. "Before the Hutts bought my mother, she was sold in a market just like this." Anakin's gritted his teeth.

"It'll be okay." I reached out. "I hope so."
