I can't remeber how long ago I found this story on FanFiction.net and fell in love with it. I added it to my favorites and alerts. I got I think two or three alerts I think then
the drought came. Then I found it here while browsing, began to read once again hoping that you wrote more on this site then FanFiction but unfortunately that is not the case.
I am a very prideful person but in this particular instance I am not too proud to beg !
If it's chocolate you crave, I give you every kind of Godiva,Hershey,Nestle and Sees bars,cocoa, dipped fruit and truffles available. Perhaps, cookies hold more value? Well then your in luck I'm a cookie pimp anything your jones for I am sending your way. You still need a laptop here's mine go ahead take it, its yours. Please just two things for me  . Add me to your PM list. Most importantly UPDATE sometime in the not so distant future!

Wanna be jedi: Actually I got my laptop over a month ago and I've started working on a new post a week ago (believe it or not) but its slow going because of DRL but at least I've started work. Thanks for the offer though, As for the chocs send them in-and the cookies too tastes great with green tea.

I have a post-FINALLY!! It's iffy but I tried but the wrting cogs in my brain are all rusty.
“This is ludicrous!” Padmé muttered with clenched teeth as she walked past her husband who was pacing as agitatedly as her but in the opposite direction. They both reached their respective ends of the small aisle, both turned around again. ‘It is the best solution.” He hissed as he passed her, keeping his voice low but not any less menacing. It was obvious to the casual observer at the DOS22 Orbital station’s passenger lounge that the young couples pacing in the middle of the lounge weren’t exactly taken with each other.
But the spacious lounge was busy with people, mostly holiday makers consisting of young couples who seemed to be too busy with each other to notice the glum pair cooling it off in their midst. At least that is what Padmé thought as she looked at the happy couples with unmasked envy.
“I will not go to Naboo!” Padmé said, coming to a decision. And this time she made no efforts to be subtle about it either. This time she stood in his path, arms folded across her chest defiantly, loud enough, at least for the people sitting near by to hear. Vader swept a hurried glanced around the waiting lounge, and was relieved to see that no one seem to be paying any attention to another pair of bickering honeymooners sorting out another of their little tiffs but he did not want to take chances.
“Keep your voice down!” he hissed.
“I don’t care what they think!” She said, raising her voice a decibel.
“You forced me to marry you, to leave my home and hearth, my planet and my people and discard years of planning just to tell me to go back! I tell you I will not be toyed with anymore, Anakin Sky… “She winced as fingers hard as steel dug into her wrist.
Padmé snatched back her hand and backed away a few paces. Once again Vader glanced around. He wore a plain brown hooded cloak over civilian cloaks and Padmé doubted anyone would recognize him out here in the backwaters of nowhere but still he was wary of any uncalled for attention. An elderly woman stopped her handwork to see what the commotion was about.
Vader spared her an angry look that made her turn back to her work, embarrassed. With a sigh he turned back to Padmé, feet planted firmly on the floor arms crossed on his chest. “I hate it when I give orders and they’re not followed.”
“I am not one of your troopers; I have my reasons to…”
“I don’t want to hear any more arguments, Padmé! Back on the Destructor we had decided that YOU would go back to Naboo and I would go to Manera and that is how it will be. Thauleed is already on his way, in about…” he looked around seeking a chrono, “three hours approximate, he will be here and this will all end.”
Padmé was furious at the way he was pushing her around but she clamped down on her rage. It was no use arguing with him she would just have to be stubborn and hold her own for as long as possible. “Anakin Skywalker, I-am-not-going-to-Naboo and that is final.”
“Padmé Naberrie, you will be on that ship even if I have to carry you over my shoulders!” He said through clenched teeth as he bent, pressing his face close to hers.
“I doubt it, Anakin, that will most certainly attract a lot of attention and as I recall you most certainly don’t want any of that…” She retorted.
“Don’t force my hand, Padmé!” he said sibilantly, his mouth was a thin line now.
Padmé let out an annoyed, impatient sigh, as though she were dealing with a child. “Anakin, I’m sure we can discuss this like adults we could come to a mutual understanding, there are always more than one solution to any problem.
:You…!” He pointed one black gloved finger in her direction, “will go back to Naboo and that is the only solution, the best solution. “ He stated.
“Why?” She stated defiantly.
“Why?” He repeated incredulously.
“Yes, why can’t I go with you to Dos22. You heard Hiera, she said it’s a very secluded place and a single individual might be bored. Truth be told, we do need an opportunity like this to work things out between us.”
Vader shook his head vehemently. “It won’t work, Padmé. You are being too optimistic-I’ll only end up wasting my only opportunity for some peace and quite in ages. I have been stressed to the breaking point. My lack of a clear head almost cost me my ship. I tried to be patient with you and this is as far as my patience holds. We cannot go on like this, bickering and squabbling like little siblings. Besides you are ill –which in your case means you are terribly instable-and you need someone to take care of you and I am not-unfortunately-an appropriate nursemaid.”
“But Anakin you don’t understand, I can’t go to Naboo, not now. Maybe…” But he stopped her by holding up both his hands and stopping her in mid sentence.
“Padmé! I’m fed up with you and your games! “He said heatedly. “I’m going there alone. I don’t want any more trouble. Please, I’ve just had enough of you. I’ve just had enough of women in fact. I just want to be left alone for a while is that too much for a man to ask?”
Padmé was stung by his harsh words but instead of answering with an equally cutting riposte she merely sighed heavily and threw her arms up in frustration and turned away.
The lounge, at least their little corner, was quite for a spell, the little old lady sneaked another hurried glance at them. The young man and the women now stood silent but adamant as ever, with their backs to each other. She shook her head as though she’d seen this all before.
Padmé rested her chin in one hand while the other held her elbow, thinking.
There was a time when she’d wanted exactly just this sort of retort from him, when she’d hoped that things would not work out between them.
But now though it was not such a good suggestion as far as she was concerned. She’d promised her parents that she’d make this marriage work. She was a Nubian and Nubian women were credited with the high success rate of marriages in Naboo; it was their strength and determination that held the Naboo family together.
And she was a politician and a diplomat too; making peace and truces was her job. She’d pacified whole warring planets and even systems and convinced them that they could benefit from one another’s existence if they worked together. She was sure she could convince Anakin too of her importance in this partnership.
Perhaps this would be her real chance for her to win him over, maybe this would be her only chance in a long time-like Anakin had said, once he took command then she might never have the chance to really know him.
Besides it was not even a month since she’d left Naboo. She could not go so back so soon. In Naboo it isn’t odd for newly married women to visit their parents, but it is always in the company of their spouses, never alone. She was well known on Naboo and she had a social standing-one that she had to live up to not only for her parents and family but also for the millions of young Nubians who held her as their ideal. Going back alone would mean her marriage had failed or in trouble and that was something she was not going to accept-not without a fight. No! she could not go now. Anakin did not understand her compulsion to stay but she had to avoid further embarrassment to her family and for that she would forsake her own desire to just be done with this moody, frustratingly tiresome man.
Besides Padmé had no old plans to go back to-after ingeniously hitching her ex-fiancé to her friend Sabe Anakin had closed off that choice to her. He was now her past, present and future insofar as she could see-from a Nubian woman’s point of view that is.
Padmé’s shoulder’s slumped hopelessly.
“For a moment back there on Manera I thought things were working out between us.” She exclaimed despondently. “That we could really be a successful couple-I was finally getting use to the idea of being married to you and now YOU decide to throw it all away.”
Vader for his part ignored the remark, he just stood there rigid as a statue.
She let out a heavy sigh! ‘Why couldn’t they be like any other couple?’ Padmé scanned the plexiglassed enclosure, taking in the activity around her, especially those of the other couples. Some Laughing, others talking animatedly, some holding hands or whispering conspiringly. She looked at them enviously. Why had she to end up with a block of stone?
“I once thought that too.” He said abruptly without turning to look at her, “but that was a stupid child’s dream; reality was a harsh kick in the groin.”
“Anakin I regret the incident and I am deeply sorry…”
He turned to her and shook his head. ”Nothing will change Padmé. You will go to Naboo, there will be time later for us, to try and work out this impossible situation but now is not the time. Now you will do as I tell you. End of debate.”
Padmé stared at him opening and closing her mouth but she didn’t have anything else in her defense. It was obvious that Vader had no patience for weaknesses and illnesses. Being sick or debilitated or traumatized in anyway didn’t count with him.
“What if Hiera discovers that you are alone.” She said after a long pause. “I doubt she’ll leave you to your own device.”
Vader’s face was a puzzle then a frown then it came back to his normal, is own personal branded scowl. “What’s the princess got to do with this?”
Padmé shrugged, “She likes you, doesn’t she?” She was actually expressing her own fears. She did not like to leave him alone with that rancour on the prowl no matter how uncertain their relation was but he was still her husband-he belonged to her.
“Anakin rolled his eyes and flicked a hand dismissively. I don’t think I have anything to worry about, she thinks I am with you and after my-our award winning performance back at the Manera port I’m sure she’ll be planning to be somewhere real far. No! Padmé, rest assured I have nothing to worry about as far as that woman is concerned.”
Padmé’s eyes focused on something behind him.
“You really think so, darling?” She questioned rather smugly.
Vader spun around and his jaw fell. The look in his eyes was pure terror. Terror not because he was so scared of her as of the prospect of loosing his little holiday. That Padmé guessed, scared him more than anything else. Anakin had really planned on having some time to him self. To his chagrin a couple of females were dead bent on spoiling it for him; first his wife and now this…this… pompous spoilt brat…this…so called princess.
He let out his breath with a hiss and tried to calm his nerves. The Baron’s daughter was very dangerous, she had the power to read peoples emotions and right now she was the last person he wanted to see.. He was worried that she’d not already detected the tension between them. After all back on Manera she’d sensed his misery from across the corridor.
By the time the local girl was within ear shot of the couple, Vader had calmed the storm that raged within him and a pleasant smile graced his face.
“Ah! Miss Rogress, so good to see you again!” he said, his hand snaking out to hold Padmé’s; coolly lacing his fingers into hers as though nothing at all had happened between them.
Padmé had an impulse to pull it away but her mind was quick to calculate the damage from the results. She hated to be toyed again by this selfish egoist, but the idea of delivering him into this man robber’s web was even more disgusting. So she smiled warmly at the new comer-in an instance the gracious wife again. She hoped the princess would not see through her smile because at this moment she felt anything but warm and cordial.
“Commander Vader!” The Princess called, “milady!” What in heavens are you doing here?” She asked in a dismayed tone. “I had specifically instructed my staff here to provide you with transport down to the planet as soon as you arrived.”
“I… er!” Vader stammered, trying to think of an excuse, “We were waiting for Padmé’s ship.” he blurted before he could stop himself.
“Why, pray, you aren’t going home are you, milady?” She asked, turning to Padmé.
“No! No, of course not!” Padmé contradicted a little too emphatically.” I mean this is a rare opportunity to actually have some time alone with my husband, thanks to you and the honorable Baron. I Simply CANNOT refuse to avail it.”
She said keeping the smile wide thinking fast.
“You see when I decided to accompany my husband I had no idea and so I came totally unprepared, I mean you know what this means to us women.” she winked knowingly at the taller woman who immediately nodded in agreement.
“Yes! Of course I understand” but if its clothes you are worried about then you need not bother getting them from across the galaxy. I have a very well maintained wardrobe of my own at the villa, as my guest you are free to use any item you need. I have instructed my droid, K8 or Kate as we call her, to take care of all your needs. There is no need to wait around any longer, I suggest you start your holiday as soon as possible, if you accept my offer my staff will contact your courier and prevent them from making the unnecessary trip.
“Ah! Princess thank you,” Vader interjected, “you are so kind.”
'That was lame! dear husband' Padmé thought as her husband searched for words. Then he added.
“This wardrobe business was becoming quite an issue between us. You see Padmé insisted on waiting for her ship, I on the other hand wanted to leave for the planet as soon as possible and now you have solved both our problems. That is so thoughtful of you.”
‘That!’ she thought should be enough to explain the obvious discord between them-which even an observer with one eye, would have noticed. ’Hmm smooth, dear husband! You do well for a non diplomat’ Padmé thought to herself. She almost rolled her eyes but stopped herself-for two reasons. One: the princess might notice and see through their act-that is if she’s not seen through it already- and two she realized that Vader was actually giving Hiera the codes to contact Thauleed’s ship and prevent him from making the trip to pick her up.
“That is so kind of you.” Padmé smiled at the princess but the smile was warmer and broader, now that it was fired by triumph. She would not have to go to Naboo after all and accept defeat and –with a wardrobe to boot. She spared her husband a fleeting glance and was satisfied to note that he’d been cowed down into a corner thoroughly and ruthlessly. “Yesss!” She thought. Women can be so formidable when they work together.

There might be some typhos because I made changes at the last minute too and the post is too long to read after every change which is how it should be done.

I saw that I had two messages on my blackberry earlier this morning but didn't check them. What a wonderful surprise ! 
Continued humor was exactly the right way to write this chapter. My favorite was that you had Padme's rival give her that needed push onward towards victory. I would love to read the Princess's reaction
tobeing duped and her reaction that she aided her rival.
Is there anything that we can do to make these more frequent ? Cakes, candies, cookies or any other movtivator you might be in search of ? 
GREAT UPDATE !!

Thanks Indigrl
would love to read the Princess's reaction
tobeing duped and her reaction that she aided her rival.
She would probably kick herself!!
Is there anything that we can do to make these more frequent
Cakes, cookies with green tea!! Yum Yum!!
Anyway I'm back-in familiar surroundings-where my mind works the best. I'm hoping to update regularly (At least once a week) but I can't promise till when this bliss will last. Keeps fingers cross.
