Like Master, Like Padawan

chapter 5: nice job, commander

Ahsoka's pov
Me and Anakin stood there awkwardly waving to other masters like Aayla Secura and Luminara Undili.

"Okay this is ridiculous, where are the senators!?!" Anakin exclaimed.

"I don't know it's been 10 minutes. You don't think they-"

"Nah, they're just really really late." It's incredible how his mood can change in less then 5 seconds. He went from totally relaxed to angry and upset and then back to fairly relaxed.

"Master, what if they're in danger. It wouldn't hurt to at least check on senator Amidala. She should just be in the other room."

"Good points snips, I'll go check. You stay here in case your little boyfriend shows up!" At first I nodded like a fool. But then realization hit me to late.

"Right- wait Anakin he's not my-" I cut myself off to find a number of jedi looking at me funnily. I gave a nervous giggle and waved my hand slightly at them. Luckily they shrugged it off and continued walking. By the time it was all clear to speak again he was already dashing off to the other side of the hall. I did as he sarcastically instructed and remained put. If I moved I would have something worse to fear then Lux getting captured. I would have an angry Anakin. And no one, I mean no one wants that!

Anakin's pov
I chuckled under my breath when I saw everyone staring at her. This reminded me of Obi Wan and the duchess. I laughed some more but darted off towards the other side of the hallway. I opened the door Padme previously went in and thank the force she was still there. Oh my god- she was there alright. She was tied up to a pipe with a gag over her mouth.

"Padme!?!" I shouted. I rushed to her and untied her hands from the incredibly tight rope. I removed the gag.

"Are you okay?" I asked her. She never responded and instead eased forward to hug me. I enjoyed her embrace for about 5 minutes but then I remembered the situation.

"Padme who did this to you!?!"

"It was a bounty hunter. She had brownish clothes and hair and whitish purple skin. I don't know her name but she was armed with blasters."

"Did she say anything to you?"

"She said I would soon join my little friend Mr. Bonteri in h- h- he- I can't even say it!"

"If she said that about you and Lux then that means-" my thoughts were connecting. Aurra Sing. That bounty hunter scum was coming after my wife!

"Come on!" I helped her up and she lifted her flowy gown preparing to run with me.

"AHSOKA!!! AHSOKA!!!" Oh please be okay Ahsoka. Ahsoka!

"Yes master?"

"Ahsoka where was Lux when you last saw him!?!" She took a moment.

"He was still in his apartment on his way over. I- I don't think he made it over."

"I think your right snips. Pad- Senator Amidala you go inform the Chancellor and the jedi council about this and Ahsoka and I can handle this honey hunter... hopefully." Padme nodded and quickly walked in the room to go to the jedi council.

"Where to master. He could be anywhere by now!" Hmm, funny how she seems so concerned for 'just a friend'. No, focus Anakin. Put the bet aside.

"Well where you last so him is a good place to start I suppose. To the Senate building!" We hopped in the closest speeder and traveled to the Senate building. It only took a minute or two considering how close they were to each other. I hope Mr. Bon Teri is okay. Not for my sake- but Ahsoka's.
