	Okay, I know what I said on the other thread but I had to come over and check this story out. Kathyrn, you're a wonderful writer and I'm probably going to have to go check out your other stuff now. JPS, as usual an incredible job. It's unbelievable that you can co-write somehting that has the same feel as the movies. Add another story to my favorites list. Finally, Happy 100!

	Excellent work, ladies! You write emotions so well! You have a new reader! I am so glad to see a Post-AOTC story up... there doesn't seem to be an over-abundance of them. I'm actually working on one myself, though it is centered more on the Clone Wars and Obi-Wan. And it will be awhile before its up on this site. Anyways, keep up the great work- I'll be waiting for more! -----signature----- *Who's scruffy-looking?* Against Fate- my fic co-authored with Rogue_49 http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=10930668&start=10930682 Shutting Off the Sun- a Purge viggie http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=11006541&replies=0

	The sunlight streamed in through the tinted transparisteel, casting a soft blue glow across the room belonging to Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker. He had long since moved out of the suite that he had once shared with Obi-Wan Kenobi and into his own larger room several halls over now that he was a Jedi Knight instead of a Padawan, and in some ways Anakin missed having Obi-Wan just beyond the walls, hearing his Master's footsteps as he went about his early morning meditations and ministrations. In other ways, though, Anakin was glad to be free. He liked having more room to do as he pleased, and he no longer felt like he was being watched by a parent all the time. He enjoyed being able to sleep in as late as he felt he needed to, which was never late at all, but more than anything, he liked being able to have Padmé with him. He glanced down at the woman pressed against him, her head resting on his chest. She looked so peaceful that Anakin couldn't help but smile. There was an innocence about her in sleep that was misleading. She didn't look like a former Queen or a Senator, she looked like an angel, his angel, and it made Anakin's heart swell. They were granted so little time together with the war raging around them and the galaxy in turmoil, but they took what they could get. And with his next scheduled departure back into the heart of the war only a week away, they had become reckless in their desire to spend every waking moment together. Hence the reason he'd brought her to his room, despite the risks of being discovered. Reaching out a hand to brush a loose strand of hair from her face, he tucked it under the mass of disheveled hair on the pillow. He ran his fingers through her long, dark hair, inhaling the sweet, familiar scent that had become burned into his mind. Anakin could tell she was asleep by the shallow breath that spilled onto his bare chest, and the gentle rise and fall of her small form against his. That and the Force. The light peeking in through the transparisteel danced across Padmé's face, and Anakin felt a lump rise up in his throat at the sight of her. He traced her delicate features with his thumb, caressing her cheek tenderly. She was so beautiful that she was breathtaking. That had been his first observation when they had met in Wattoo's shop all those years ago, and to Anakin it seemed that she grew more beautiful every day, but that day on Tatooine had stayed with him over the years, giving him strength, filling him with purpose. He had known, from their first meeting over twelve years ago, that she was the woman he was going to marry. He had only been a boy back then, and she had been just a girl, older than he but not yet out of adolescence. He hadn't known how he knew that they would one day end up married, he'd just known. Now he supposed that it had been the Force that had told him that, divulging a whisper of the heavy, but passionate secret that he now bore. He would have gladly born it ten times over just to be in her arms. Padmé stirred in her sleep, snuggling closer to him, and Anakin grinned. He would never get over how amazing it was to wake up beside her, to open his eyes and have her face be the first thing he saw each morning and the last thing he saw at night. I truly am the luckiest man in the galaxy, he thought with a content sigh. He placed a kiss on her hairline, running his fingers over her jawbone and across her smooth cheek. She was the most beautiful creature he had ever laid eyes on. And she had chosen to be his wife. There was nothing- nothing- in the galaxy that could ever be sweeter than that. For her love he would have moved the stars themselves, taking them down one by one to prove to her just how devoted he was to her, even if it took him a lifetime. The bedsheet had slipped down off of Padmé's bare shoulder to the small of her back when she had moved, and Anakin let his eyes wander down her shoulders and across her smooth skin. He ran his fingers over her shoulder blades lightly, the feel of her soft skin against his fingertips making him lightheaded. I could never fully tell her just how deeply my love runs, Anakin mused with a smile. There aren't words to convey it. He wondered if- ANAKIN! Despite his Jedi training, Anakin nearly tumbled out of bed at the sudden sound of his former Master screaming at him through the Force. Blinking, he reached out with his senses, trying to discern what had Obi-Wan so angry, and he found his answer easily. Obi-Wan knew. Anakin didn't know how he knew, but he knew. And he was coming towards him now, a storm of anger and disappointment, on a direct path for Anakin's room. Anakin glanced down at Padmé's sleeping form, then up at his door, then back at Padmé again. He carefully slipped out of bed, sliding her gently onto the pillow, and grabbed a loose shirt from the back of his hoverchair. Pulling it on, he hurried to the door, slapping the touch pad, and the door slid open to reveal an angry looking Master Kenobi. Anakin darted outside into the hall, letting the door slide shut before Obi-Wan could see inside. Maybe in his angry rant he wouldn't detect Padme's presence inside. Not very likely, but possible, Obi-Wan did have a habit of overlooking things when he was yelling. Turning to face his former Master, Anakin swallowed at the dark look he saw on Obi-Wan Kenobi's face. "Obi-Wan," he began softly, pleadingly. "I-" "Anakin," Obi-Wan snapped angrily. "What the Sith were you thinking?!" Anakin opened his mouth to say something, anything, but his voice faltered and he couldn't find words. Not for this, not to Obi-Wan. "You weren't thinking, that's the problem," Obi-Wan raged. "You never think! And this time you've gone and gotten yourself into a bigger mess than I ever dreamed you could! You've done some incredibly foolish things before, Anakin, but this is by far the stupidest!" Anakin gritted his teeth, willing himself not to explode. This was Obi-Wan, his Master, his friend. His father, in all ways except by blood. He was the one in the wrong, not Obi-Wan. He deserved the older man's anger, and his words. No matter how hard they were to hear. "You're in deep, my young padawan," Obi-Wan pronounced with a scowl. "Deeper than you realize." "I realize exactly where I am," Anakin replied, struggling to keep his voice steady. "And what I've done. I know you can't understand this, Obi-Wan, I don't expect you to, but I love Padme. This is the right thing for us, for me." "What do you know about doing the right thing?" Obi-Wan demanded angrily. "When have you ever done what's right, what's rational and logical? You don't think, Anakin! You never do! I cannot believe that you would betray the Order, betray your vows, like this!" His eyes flashed. "That you would betray me like this!" Anakin swallowed hard, this time to hide his pain rather than his anger. Obi-Wan threw up his hands in frustration. "Anakin, I have never been so disappointed in anyone in my entire life!" Anakin looked away, unwilling to let Obi-Wan see the tears welling in his eyes, and unable to keep them from falling. -----signature----- "Fight until you can fight no longer, then exhaust the enemy chasing you, and turn and fight some more." -Leia Solo in SbS "Love can ignite the stars..." -RotS novelization "Even the stars die out, Anakin Skywalker..." -RotS novelization

	~lip trembles~ Ani... Poor, poor Ani and Padme! Oh, how sad for Anakin! And even for Obi-Wan. Poor Obi, too, he's heartbroken, too! Excellent post, as usual, ladies! Wow, that's all I can say. That is so how I picture it in Ep. 3 You two should go write the screenplay -----signature----- "Pain drowns most people. I just swim in it."~Tahiri Veila in RS

	jaw drops on the floor Wow. [face_shocked] I can't remember the last time I got so emotional after reading a post. That was so intense. And you covered both ends of the spectrum there, too. First, with Anakin getting all sentimental watching Padme sleep. melt And then with that incredibly written argument. Although, I suppose it was really more of a lecture than argument since it was really just Obi-Wan doing the talking /yelling. But even though he was hurting Anakin, I could feel equal sympathy for him. You can just feel how much they're both hurting. It takes a lot of talent to be able to make both sides of an argument seem sympathetic. Now I demand that you write the next post immediately! I can't stand not knowing what happens. -----signature----- Yippee!!! ~ Darth Vader, TPM
