I LOVED the interaction between Anakin and Padme. I found it hilarious when Anakin was all nervous in the elevator, a nice play off his scene with Obi-Wan in AOTC. Great job! I can't wait to see where this "thing" with Padme goes. Wonderful!

Burkie: *whacks you over the head* No, I'm still reposting. wink

PK: Done. wink

In_Luv_wit_kenobi: Thank you. grin And thank you for de-lurking. tongue Will you stay that way? wink

Crazy_Vasey: I'm curious to see what I'm going to do with it as well. mischief Thank you. grin

Gabri: Np. tongue And, well, Obi-Wan's reactions to Anakin have hardly been normal, and recently has been the first time Xan and Qui-Gon have had time to think about that. As for the Ani/Ami, Palpy did it for the reason he said - he's trying to get Padme to cooperate with the Jedi Council, or vice versa. (There is another reason, I just realized, but I forgot about it until now. Yet another loose end ...) Glad you liked that line by Ani, too. grin Thank you! grin

VaderLVR64: Thanks! blush It was a lot of fun to write. Half the reason I introduced her was because I wanted something new to do, and it turns out they have wonderful chemistry in this story - I write their scenes so fast! shock I'm glad you noticed - and liked - the little things I like to put in there, where it's similar but different. wink



Will postie soon. wink

“You know, that old troll is the cause of all our problems!” Xanatos said grumpily.

Qui-Gon laughed shortly, with little humor, and replied, “I’m well aware of his tendencies to be omniscient. I wonder why he did this.” He sighed, and paced behind Xanatos, who sat before the data screen in the Jedi Archives.

Xanatos stared at the screen as if he could change it by force of will. It lit his face in a ghostly blue glow, the small shadows making his face appear long as he looked down at it. The entire Archive was hushed and lighted just this side of dim, probably in one of Jocasta’s attempts to make people be quiet in there. The only distraction was Qui-Gon pacing behind him. While Xanatos was half joking about Yoda, then again, perhaps he wasn’t. First, Master Yoda was gone while Obi-Wan was here and in desperate need of him. Now . . . this.

Access Denied.

“It doesn’t make sense. Why would Yoda seal Anakin’s home records?” Xanatos asked. “What is in there?” He paused, then turned to look back at Qui-Gon, who was silent. The Jedi Archives were open to all Jedi. Very rarely was something sealed or classified. It was done only in cases where the privacy of the information was needed or important, such as certain ongoing missions or personal information the Jedi Council believed should be kept from the Jedi at large . . . or a Jedi in particular.

Qui-Gon looked back at him with an almost regretful look on his face. “If we are to find out before Yoda returns, there is only one person with any knowledge of the situation at all who can answer our questions.”

Xanatos sighed. “Obi-Wan.”

Qui-Gon nodded.

“I don’t relish the idea of asking him . . .” Xanatos begun.

“Because of painful memories,” Qui-Gon finished. “Yes. But remember – why is Obi-Wan here? We know that there must be another reason. I have a feeling that reason is entwined with Obi-Wan and his Anakin’s past.”

“Yes,” Xanatos agreed reluctantly.

There were both silent for a moment, Xanatos privately musing on how willing Obi-Wan would be to talk. How willing would he be to remember things he was just starting to forget? Everything in Obi-Wan’s universe was so hopelessly complicated and twisted. There was no reason to believe the situation of Anakin’s coming to the Jedi Temple in Obi-Wan’s universe was any different. And the fact that the other Anakin came to the Temple at an older age, in and of itself, indicated that it was.

“You think he’s still asleep?” Xanatos asked softly. They had checked on him before leaving, and left a note; he had been sleeping very deeply, almost in a trance-like state. For that matter, maybe he was trying to get rid of his hangover, instead of nobly suffering like Qui-Gon.

“I doubt it,” Qui-Gon said. “We’ve been gone for nearly an hour, with you trying to hack into the databanks.”

Xanatos flushed. “I was only trying to find a backdoor.”

“Hacking.”

“Taking advantage of a fault,” Xanatos retorted primly. He rose to his feet swiftly, and put his hands in his sleeves in an appearance of . . . sobriety.

Qui-Gon shook his head and gave a soft laugh. “How I ever survived training you . . .” he murmured quietly as he turned to go.

Xanatos voice floated from behind him, clearly exasperated. “Not me at twelve again - !”

~*~*~

“So what do you do, as a Jedi?” Padmé asked curiously, looking at Anakin, who sat across from her. She took a careful bit of the cikken fish, boiled in Chad seaweed oil. It had a delicate taste.

Anakin took a bite of his food, a hunk of meat from which he was steadily hacking off pieces with his bread knife. “Surely you’ve met Jedi before . . .” he said, trailing off with a smile.

Padmé laughed. “Of course. But surely all Jedi aren’t diplomats.”

Anakin gave her a wry smile. “No, that’s true. Thankfully for the sanity of some of us.”

“So do you go on missions with your Master?” Padmé asked curiously.

“Sometimes. My teacher is Master Yoda, and as you probably know, he rarely leaves Coruscant. I sometimes go with other Jedi, or missions here.”

“But not ones diplomatic in nature?” Padmé asked, arching an eyebrow.

“Oh, sometimes. I had to learn the basics,” Anakin said. “Yoda insisted,” he added with a touch of remembered annoyance. “But there are other things to do on Coruscant besides negotiate. The lower levels, for example, are dangerous places. Some criminal elements also try to work out of here, something we try to stifle as much as possible.”

Padmé nodded, looking thoughtful.

Anakin suppressed a mischievous grin and said casually, “Though, with so many politicians here, it’s hard to get rid of them all . . .” And nonchalantly took another bite of his food.

Padmé laughed. She had a wonderful laugh, light and cheery without being too girlish. And when she smiled, her entire face shone with it, each lovely feature transforming to express that joy. Anakin had to grin at the sight of it. Her happiness just seemed to spread and fill him too.

Before the moment could pass and become awkward, Anakin picked up where they had left off. “Jedi do many things, beside mediate disputes. We help wherever we are needed, whether it is helping a town evacuate a flood, or going undercover to break up a slavery ring.”

Padmé frowned slightly. “Slavery ring? That must be outside of the Republic, then.”

Anakin confirmed that with a nod. “Outside the Republic, there is little, if any, law. So technically it’s not even . . . espionage, or whatever you want to call it. And it’s the right thing to do. Thankfully, though, slavery is rare, even in the Outer Rim.”

“Yes,” she said softly, giving a faint, contemplative smile.

No, he wanted to see that grin again. “Enough of business. Palpatine mentioned that you miss your family? You represent Naboo, correct?”

“Yes,” Padmé said, and he could feel her mood lightening. “My parents, and my sister – I’m an aunt, these days,” she said with a laugh. “I adore my nieces. So, yes, I miss them, but I know I’m doing good here.” She paused. “I guess you wouldn’t know about your family, though.”

“The Jedi are my family,” Anakin replied calmly. It was a question he had gotten before, and he didn’t have to think about his answer – for that matter, he didn’t doubt it either. “An odd one, I’ll grant you that, but we love and care for each other. The Padawans are my siblings, the Knights my aunts and uncles, and the Masters . . .” Anakin trailed off, trying to picture Yoda as his parent and shuddering. “Well, so the analogy doesn’t always work,” he admitted ruefully.

Padmé put a hand over her mouth, but the corners of her eyes crinkled. “Yes, I suppose it doesn’t.”

“I’ve been lucky; I have lots of mentors,” Anakin continued, seeing her interest and amusement. “Besides Yoda, there’s Qui-Gon and Xanatos.”

Padmé made an inquisitive sound and took another delicate bite of her food. Anakin felt clumsy compared to her.

“Yes – they were Master and Padawan, though Xanatos is a Knight now. Actually, they just ended . . . an estrangement,” he added lamely, realizing in the middle of speaking that perhaps he shouldn’t go into all of that, especially with the undead lunatic around. He was surprised at his automatic inclination to simply tell her everything, as if they had known each other all their lives.

To his relief, Padmé merely nodded and didn’t ask for details.

“What about you?” he asked, turning the conversation away from himself. “What was your childhood like, if you don’t mind me asking?”

Padmé paused, as if to gather her thoughts, then began, “Well, certainly different from most. I have spent most of my life in service. I was fourteen when I was elected Queen of Naboo, and I spent years in the diplomatic and rescue services before that.”

Anakin blinked. “That is impressive. Not to insult, but why would Naboo elect a fourteen year old Queen?”

“You’re not the first to ask that question,” Padmé said wryly. “The last king was found to be corrupt. It was actually an emergency election, though they later reelected me for a second term – and my last. I was . . . very well trained, eager to serve, and I think Naboo saw that,” she finished.

Anakin bowed his in acquiescence of that fact. “Still,” he said, “it is astounding. How did you become a Senator?”

“The current queen, Queen Sabé, asked me to do so. I accepted,” she said with a smile.

Anakin smiled back. The conversation drifted, then faded away, into a comfortable silence. They both ate for a few minutes, content to look at the skyline from the view of the high level restaurant. It often served the Senate, and as a result was particularly tasteful and had a better view than most. It seemed to Anakin like a good place to bring a Senator.

After eating, it was mutually decided that they would go on a walk. Padmé suggested the Coruscanti Small Garden, the less public of Coruscant’s two planetary gardens, and Anakin naturally agreed. And he had never gotten the opportunity to see the garden. He had heard it was very beautiful, though.

He wasn’t disappointed. The garden had a plant in every shade of red. Anakin would not have normally thought it such a lively color, but in the fresh, domed air and bright surroundings, it was vibrantly alive. Padmé, in her lavender dress, was a spot of peaceful calm in riotous color.

“Does this remind you of Naboo?” Anakin asked quietly, not really wanting to interrupt the peace of the moment, but curious. His curiosity usually got the better of him.

Padmé laughed, and shook her head, giving the vibrantly colored plants another look. “They’re beautiful, so in that sense, I suppose they do. But Naboo is a green planet.”

“I’ve never been to Naboo, nor heard of it,” Anakin admitted.

“I’m not surprised,” Padmé replied casually. “No wars, famines . . . floods. Peaceful place,” she said, shooting Anakin a smile. “We’re not well-known, in truth, though we were once known as Alderaan’s little sister for our pacifist ways.”

“Interesting title to have,” Anakin observed.

Padmé nodded. “Alderaan was, by all accounts, stunningly beautiful. The people would design and place their cities as to not disrupt the natural beauty of the planet. No one carried weapons, not even the police.”

Anakin was silent for a moment, digesting that, then offered, “I must visit Naboo, then, sometime.”

Padmé smiled at him. It was a simple smile, but Anakin felt his heart beat faster nonetheless. Even knowing her for such a short time, he felt deeply connected to her. Her every action, the way she tilted her head when acknowledging a point, the way she gestured to punctuate her careful words . . . it arrested his attention in a way he had never before experienced.

“I would like that,” Padmé said softly. “I’ve grown to like you, despite you being a Jedi.” She smiled, but a flash of frustration – not at him, but at some memory – showed in her eyes.

Anakin laughed. “Ah, yes, the argument with the Jedi Council. I’m sure you’re both trying to do what you feel is best,” he said.

Padmé raised an eyebrow, and said archly, “Practicing your diplomacy, Anakin? Placating me without stating your own position, or stating any position at all.”

He shrugged, flushing slightly. “I didn’t mean it that way. The truth is I know little about it at all, so it would be unwise of me to say anything.”

“True,” Padmé admitted. “I just feel that they are dismissing my concerns. I would like to see them at least answered.”

“What is the situation, then?” Anakin asked.

“There’s a planet called Tatooine in the Outer Rim. Its residents are hoping for Republic citizenship, but there is no formal world-wide government. The Jedi believe we should accept their application to enter the Republic and deal with all the problems afterwards.” Padmé shook her head. “I simply if we simply step in, we will never stop controlling the situation for them. Help them, yes – but do everything for them? It’s a bad precedent, the Senate being directly involved in world affairs, even in a situation like Tatooine.”

Anakin considered her words for a moment, then admitted, “I see your point. But what about the citizens of Tatooine? I’ve heard of the place, and it’s often a hotspot for criminals in need of a layover. That can’t be good for the honest citizens. Perhaps they see the situation out of control, and no way to rectify it besides getting the Republic involved.”

Padmé shot him a sharp look. “Perhaps. I am thinking more of in the long term consequences, I suppose.”

“Long term consequences aren’t going to matter much to the citizens of Tatooine at this point. And whatever those long term consequences are, I’m sure they’d rather have those than the problems they have now.”

“Except for the consequences in the matter of Republic law as a whole," Padmé pointed out. "The Repubic taking over a planet when only part of its citizens agrees to it - well, it’s too close to conquering it. Because in some sense, the criminals and those that serve them are also its citizens, are they not?"

“I hadn’t considered that,” Anakin acknowledged. “It’s a complicated issue, clearly.”

“Yes,” Padmé agreed. “Now if I could only get the Jedi Council to admit that there are other considerations, and perhaps if we do go in, we should take care as to how we do it,” she said dryly. “They are usually the first to compromise – or get you to see their way – but this time, they are being unusually stubborn.”

“How long has this been going on?” Anakin asked. “Master Yoda has been off planet for a while. Perhaps he could help.”

“Not long. When does your Master return?”

Anakin had to think. The past several days had been so confusing and hectic – full of discoveries, reunions, and undead lunatics trying to murder people – it was hard to remember it hadn’t been that long. “About a week and a half, I think.”

Padmé nodded. “The Senate doesn’t vote for another two. Perhaps some compromise will be possible.”

Anakin gave her a cheerful smile. The professional, intense expression on her face faded, and she returned the smile. Then she laughed.

“What?” Anakin asked.

“Just thinking of Palpatine. He might have wanted to simply ease my frustration at the Jedi by introducing us – he can be thoughtful, that way – but I think he’s also managed to get me to be more willing to see other points of view with this issue. I suppose the Council wasn’t the only ones being stubborn,” she confessed ruefully.

Anakin chuckled. “Politicians, I tell you. Always more than one agenda.” He pretended to look at her suspiciously. “Why did you bring me here again?”

“To seduce you, of course!” Padmé said lightly, nearly smirking, perfectly willing to join in on the fun.

Anakin grinned at her, but he couldn’t stop the thought that had popped into his head at her words: I’d let you. “Oh, really?” he said, eyeing her.

She blushed, a light stain of pink covering her cheeks. “Don’t look at me like that.”

“Sorry,” Anakin said, but he wasn’t sorry at all. Quite the opposite.

They smiled at each other, both a little uncomfortable but exhilarated. Anakin finally broke the awkwardly sweet moment. “Shall we?” he said, gesturing at the stone pathway they had stepped on.

Padmé gave him an attentive twitch of her lips, aware of the situation as he, and then nodded. They silently continued on.

For some reason, this cracked me up! I loved it! I thought the interaction between Anakin and Padme was once again flawless. I really like Xanatos' character in this one. I feel badly for Obi-Wan, he's so confused! And no wonder! And a mystery concerning Anakin's origins? Good stuff! Great job!

dianethx: Thank you. grin I'm glad you like it even twice over. tongue HHP and I are going, er, slowly on the rest, but it's going. tongue (I'm wondering if we need the pressure of 'haven't posted for a month! need post!' in order to write tongue )

VaderLVR64: LOL, thank you! grin I love that part, too. tongue If you want to overanalyze wink , it's also poking fun at Qui-Gon's earlier drunkenness, and Xanatos' lack thereof. tongue The Ani/Ami parts really just seem to go so smoothly. As for Anakin's origins - well, you should know what's going on, but Qui-Gon and company have no way of knowing. wink

Oba, I think I'm just going to start replying 'Interesting' to your stories and leave it at that. tongue It is interesting that Yoda would seal Anakin's records, and I wonder exactly why the Jedi Council is being so stubborn on behalf of Tatooine? *ponders*

“I doubt it,” Qui-Gon said. “We’ve been gone for nearly an hour, with you trying to hack into the databanks.”

Xanatos flushed. “I was only trying to find a backdoor.”

“Hacking.”


I can see the look on Qui-Gon's face as he says it. All that quiet dignity, but laughter behind the eyes.

“To seduce you, of course!” Padmé said lightly, nearly smirking, perfectly willing to join in on the fun.

Anakin grinned at her, but he couldn’t stop the thought that had popped into his head at her words: I’d let you.


LOL. That's our Anakin. tongue

Hey, I'm back! Sorry to have disappeared on you, but sometimes events in RL are beyond your control, if you know what I mean. wink

Just a few quick comments on the chapters I missed...

I loved the drunk Qui and Obi bit! Anakin is in SO much trouble when they get their hands on him. I'm intrigued by the questions surrounding Anakin's history, and I'm REALLY wondering what Palpatine has up his sleeve...cause I still don't trust him. He's got some evil plot, I just know it!

I liked the little line about the Temple speeder needing an "Anakin-style upgrade"! Too funny! I adored the first meeting between Padme and Anakin...they are so sweet together and boy, I could practically feel the heat from this side of the monitor!

And why do I feel like Palpatine is up to his neck in whatever's going on on Tatooine?

Oh, wait, I didn't say it this post...poor Obi-Wan! There, that's done. tongue

Anakin seems to have that effect on a lot of people doesn't he? And somehow, it's just wrong hearing Palpatine say one of our favorite lines.

THANK YOU! Thank you, kayladie97! NO ONE got that the first time around! *massive hugs* I was SO upset!


blush You're welcome, Elli! Frankly, it leaped right out at me, but I'm willing to bet that a lot of people noticed and probably just didn't comment. grin

Can't wait for more!

happy happy happy

Gabri: shock Don't you dare. tongue I want more of a response than that. silly tongue Besides, you liked it, didn't you? wink So you could say, "Interesting. I liked that!" tongue Yep, Anakin is Anakin. wink And thank you. grin

Burkie: Okay. wink

Ana_Labris: Thank you. grin And of course, it's Anakin. wink Do you want a PM at every post, or when HHP and I start posting new material? (Not posted before.) happy

kayladie97: *thwacks DRL for you* tongue I'm glad you liked the drunk Obi/Qui part - I remember when I wrote that, I did it because I was bored and I wanted to do something different. In other words, I didn't do it for any plot-related reason. silly I'm surprised at how well it turned out. silly

As for Palpatine - everyone is paranoid about him, it seems! shock (Except me. wink )

I'm glad you liked the Ani/Ami parts, too. grin They were a lot of fun to write, everything just clicked and it all worked. It's a joy to write when it's like that. happy Thank you! grin

You're welcome, Elli! Frankly, it leaped right out at me, but I'm willing to bet that a lot of people noticed and probably just didn't comment.

I agree, for the record. wink (Not that the record cares. tongue )

[edit] I remember what I was going to say. silly I'm so sorry for getting behind on your fic, Sleight of Hand! cry I heart it to pieces, and I'll catch up soon. grin




I'll get a postie up . . . soon. Sometime. silly
