This is part 2 of 'What if Anakin met Natalie Portman,'
short synopsis
**************
Anakin and Natalie are married(secretly), and called to Naboo so that Natalie can impersonate the dead Queen Amidala and bail Naboo out of disaster.
How did Natalie get to the GFFA and how did she become the Queen? Read part one to find out.
What if Anakin met Natalie Portman
This is a joint venture between Excal, Jade_max, bellyup, Jedi_Suzuran and me.
*********************************************
The last part ended with Obi-Wan and Anakin doing a very bad job of preparing Natalie aka the Naboo Queen for a not so grand welcome at the Theed spaceport. They stand before the ships ramp as it lowers.
*********************************************
May I have the honor? Obi-Wan said as he offered Natalie his arm.
She was nervous and so gladly accepted. Anakin knew his place well; he would follow a few steps back, guarding the rear.
“Calm down, Nat!” He whispered, patting her shoulder gently. “There is nothing to worry about, just be yourself.”
“I hope I don’t have to make a speech or something?” She said with a hint of apprehension.
“Don’t worry! I told Panaka to keep it hush-hush. Just the council members, handmaiden’s and your security personal will be there.” Obi-Wan assured her.
“And Anakin, from now on you will call her Padmé in private and ‘Your highness,’ in public!”
“Yes master!” Anakin intoned. “What’s that noise?”
Natalie gulped, “ It sounds like a huge crowd.”
The ramp was down almost half way to reveal a sea of heads and flaying hands.
“Blazes! What the…?” Obi-Wan hissed.
“Damn!” Anakin added under his breath.
Natalie tightened her hold on Obi-Wan as she took in the horde that stretched from the landing pad all the way across the vast spaceport, that nestled at the edge of Theed highlands.
The ramp came down fully. Panaka was the first one on-board. “Welcome your highness,” He said bowing before Natalie.
“What this?” Obi-wan said as he flicked his hand irately towards the open ramp, his face red with pent-up anger. “I thought I told you to keep the lid on it.”
“The media got a hold of it somehow and now we have not only the whole of Theed but also thousands of visitors from the neighboring cities here to welcome their Queen. It was impossible and unwise to turn them off.”
Obi-Wan rolled his eyes, feeling sorry for the young girl but he had no choice in the matter.
Panaka led the way, the pretending queen and the Jedi following him down the ramp. Panaka’s men lined the narrow path that cut through the teeming crowd, hands locked to keep it back. Natalie blinked indelicately trying to accustom her eyes to the bright Naboo sun.
As soon as the entourage stepped onto the tarmac their path was blocked by an excited throng who pushed through the barricade of security officers as they struck out an array of microphones and comm devices at the queen. All of them speaking at once; bombarding her with questions after questions.
“I uhhmm…” She began but Obi-Wan elbowed them all aside with one powerful heave.
Panaka led them to a small podium; again, he got the look from Obi-Wan,
“She can’t disappoint so many people who’ve been waiting for hours under the hot sun for her. She just has to thank them, nothing fancy,” he said with a helpless shrug.
“Its OK, Obi-Wan, “ she said stepping forward. “Thanking them should not be difficult.”
“Are you sure?” He asked, a bit skeptical of her self-confidence.
She began to ascend the steps, but Anakin stopped her pointing to her hood. She thanked him and pulled the hood back, hoping no one would get close enough to notice the second-rate job on her hair.
The crowd broke into ear splitting cheers as she mounted the podium. They were like the waves of a restless sea undulating up and down, thousands of colorful flags and banners waving upon their crests.
The speech was short and simple. She thanked them for their warm welcome and how happy she was to be back home.
Panaka and Obi-wan both had their jaws hanging when they heard her speak. Her thin voice had become thick and regal. They were Amazed at the way she stood the way she moved her head ever so slightly exactly like Amidala would.
“I’m speechless!” Panaka said. “Are you sure she’s not ‘the’ Amidala?”
“No! Obi-Wan blurted. “You will know the difference once she starts acting herself, she is far from Amidala. This child is alive and brimming with life. She is what Amidala might have been had her childhood not been stolen by the immense responsibilities of running a planet.”
Natalie finished her speech and graciously took her leave by telling the crowd that they had suffered enough in the hot sun waiting for her and she would not make them suffer further by boring long speeches.
“That was wonderful,” Obi-Wan said.
“Excellent, Your highness,” Panaka added with a wide grin.
“Thanks!” She said. “Nothing to it, really. Thank my master for it,” She said nodding towards Anakin.
“Good job, Padawan!” Obi-Wan said. “She acted and even sounded like Amidala. I am impressed by your training-I really didn’t know you had it in you. Though, I do not understand the master part. Does she mean to tell me that my padawan has taken up a padawan while I was away,” He said, turning to Panaka.
“And a good job too,” Panaka answered. I must congratulate you son!” He added grabbing Anakin’s hand. Anakin blushed slightly as he thanked him.
“I am not her master but her mentor,” Anakin corrected, with a smug grin.” She’s a natural at acting.” He added, eyeing Natalie who was now busy drawing her hood back on. He really didn’t want to grab the credit she deserved. But then, no one knew about her acting spell as Amidala and they probably wouldn’t understand.
Amidala’s handmaidens popped up suddenly all competing to grab and hug her first. The cried shamelessly, happy to find their dear friend, whom they had long given up for dead, alive and healthy. Natalie cried too, sorry at their loss, which only she was aware of.
Obi-Wan and Anakin shepherded the group through the surging crowd. A thousand hands were reaching out to touch their queen, A thousand voices calling her. Obi-Wan held one arm protectively around Natalie and with the other, he pushed away the heaving crowd. Anakin was pushing on the other side of the deluge carving a path for the group. His eyes scanning the crowd for trouble, but there was so much noise, so much packed energy pulsing through the throng that he feared he would not be able to pinpoint the danger when it came.
Master and Padawan both sighed in relief when they reached the royal speeder. Amidala and her handmaidens got into the back while Obi-Wan sat in the front with the driver. Anakin hoped onto the back of the open-air speeder, his shadow falling directly on the queen as he kneeled protectively above her. He would relax only when they reached the safety of Theed Palace.

I just wonder how Panaka and Obi will handle being told the truth as to how Natalie knows how to be Amidala. 
They'll probably freak out.

Ohh this is good.
Humm, I wonder if I can imatate Amidala? I know tackling one of her outfits would be a challenge. I know if I had one of them on, I'd BE in charactor very fast.
Great job, although I don't see Obi Wan getting angry or mad as much as he is here. Doesn't seem to be "him".

Thanks guys.
Max: thanks a ton for pointing out the double post. I updated three stories yesterday-that kept me from 10 pm to 3 am in the night.
George: Youu wont' have to wait that long this time, cuz we have half doz writers working on it. It'll pick up pace.
jauzhmynn:I felt Obi quite out of character-when I wrote 'red with rage' but then He does seem to have a tendency to loose his cool when people don't follow his orders. And he has spent two days closeted with a rather funny girl and a padawan who has completely lost his sync.
Jedistar: Yes we all know why 
"Sith council' Cool. New fic new colors-we must be very lucky.
I posted to Knight of Darkness, the posst is titled 'I want to be a Sith,' And the next day the forums say-SITH COUNCIL. Canny isn't it.

Hey, cool story! It's cool how you made Nat so much like Amidala!
I'm going to have to find some time to read the prequel, too.
