Thank you for the PM.
Hmm ... a little impromptu slumber party with some lovely handmaidens. Sounds fun. 
 Eww .. that Palo is just ICKY! Someone needs to get rid him before more people gethurt.
Poor Padme she'll be in for a shock when she finds out about how her family died.

MoAngel- Yes, Palo is a creep. I dunno, I just somehow imagined him being able to pull off the role of a creep. As for Anakin, he will be showing up in the next post. I haven't forgotten about him.
KELIA- Yes well, Palo has....well, issues lets say. I'm glad you liked the post.
JediXManSerenaKenobi- In this case yes, there is very good reason to hate Palo. And thanks!
randomangel22- Yes, its so nice when you can have creative licensce with a secondary character's personality.....And don't worry about Anakin; he'll be showing up in the next post.
SilSolo- Now that you mention it, he kinda does (though that was not intentional I assure you)
Darth-Effie- Stop, you're making me blush  I'm glad to see you are so into this story!
nabooqueen2008- Oh yes, Palo is crazy....very crazy. I'm glad you liked the post.
Lisbev- lol about the slumber party (now there's a mental picture!) And yes, Palo is pyscho, thought the question is, will he be dealt with in time? You'll just have to stick around to find out.
anisgurl56- Yeah, I'm sure Padme will be beyond angry when she finds out, but at the moment she has no clue....
Jedi_Lady21- Yeah, Palo is a bad guy here. I'm glad you liked the post.
A/n Ok, so the next post is already written and will be up soon. And since everyone has been asking.....yes, Anakin is finally showing up! You may all rejoice now. lol. 
On another note.....did anyone see Grey's Anatomy tonight? Now, I'm not giving the plot away for those who may not have seen it, but.....the scene where Bailey went off on that Star Wars tirade was brilliant!! I was seriously bouncing on the couch as she went on. And she was talking about stuff from the books too! (I mean I know she's a fictional character and all and that the lines were due to the writer's insight, but still!) AMAZING!
Ok yeah, hyper rant over.

I said it when I read it the first time, and I will say it now: Palo must die!
Great post, you know I loved it. So yes, I am back from vacation, I'm catching up on my email so I will get to yours soon.

Solidifying his decision, Palo looked over at the portrait of the woman who occupied his every thought. “You will be mine,” he whispered into the dead silence, “one way or another.”
Oh poor Padme! How terrible that Palo is out to ruin everything she holds dear just so he can get what he wants. 
Sorry about my lateness, but great update!

Icecruncher_Amidala - Yes, Palo is pretty much evil to the point of being totally desperate. I'm glad you liked the post.
jmsbndgrl - I'm thinking that with my new characterization of Palo a lot of readers are screaming for his death. I'll take that as a good thing I think.
LilyHobbitJedi - Yes, sadly Padme seems to be attracting the wrong sort of man at the moment.... glad to see you like the post!
AnakinLuver - Welcome! You've been added to the PM list.
All right, and now the moment you've all been waiting for......the meeting of Anakin and Padme!!!! I only hope it lives up to your expectations.
Padmé woke from the dream, breathing heavily. She had dreamed about the fire; the fire that was so similar to the one that took her family. Only this time, no one had perished.
Thank the Spirits for that, Padmé thought to herself. Knowing she would not get back to sleep, she slipped out of bed. Grabbing a shawl to ward off the nighttime chill, Padmé made her way to the backyard. As she passed through the living room she was just able to make out the silhouette of blankets that covered Kale and Dean’s sleeping forms upon the two couches. Even though they had accepted her invitation to stay with her, Sabé, and Kala, the two men had insisted on sleeping in the living room for the first night. Padmé had been too tired to argue so she had reluctantly agreed, though she was determined not to have it be a permanent arrangement.
One outside, Padmé made her way down towards the lake that bordered her backyard, intending to go sit there in an attempt to sort out her thoughts. However, she soon realized that she would not find the solace she had expected because someone was already there. The light streaming down from the full moon above allowed her to see that the figure’s hair brushed against its shoulders.
“Who’s there?” she called, readying herself in case the stranger was not friendly.
The person spun around, its hand reaching for something at its waist. Padmé tensed, fearing the person was reaching for a blaster. But when the figure spotted her, it withdrew its empty hand. Padmé relaxed, but only slightly.
“Forgive me,” a male voice called out. “I did not mean to startle you.”
“Did you also not mean to trespass?” Padmé inquired.
“I had not intended to,” the man answered. “But your view is…calming.”
Without knowing why, Padmé took a few steps forward, trying to get a better look at him. “Who are you?”
The man bowed slightly before answering, “Anakin Skywalker; Jedi Knight.”
Padmé’s eyes widened in recognition. “The Anakin Skywalker? The Hero With No Fear?”
“Among other names,” Anakin said, a smile evident in his tone of voice. “And you are?”
“Padmé Naberrie,” Padmé responded.
Anakin smiled, and then reached forward to take her hand in his own. “Well Miss Padmé it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.” Leaning forward he brushed a feather light kiss on the back of her hand.
Padmé was startled to feel herself blushing and was thankful for the darkness that mostly hid her features. “What are you doing here?” she asked, trying to cover up the awkward silence.
“I was meditating,” Anakin answered as he released her hand.
“In my backyard?” Padmé asked skeptically.
“This place is soothing,” Anakin said in way of explanation.
“Right,” Padmé said, drawing out the word.
“Does my presence make you uncomfortable?”
“Not exactly,” Padmé said. “But what I meant was why are you here on Naboo, instead of on Yavin IV?”
“I am…exploring my options.” At Padmé’s confused expression, he clarified, “I’m trying to find my place in this galaxy.”
“But you’re a Jedi,” Padmé pointed out. “You’re needed everywhere.”
“That’s the problem though,” Anakin said. “I am needed everywhere, but I can’t be everywhere. I want to find the place where I am needed most.” A few minutes passed in silence before he asked, “Is that strange?”
“I think it is admirable,” Padmé admitted. “You want to go where you can do the most good and help the most number of people.”
Anakin nodded. “Exactly.”
A thought occurred to Padmé at that moment, and before she could stop herself, she was asking, “Forgive my bluntness, but if you have been here on Naboo, where were you when the dance studio caught on fire?”
Anakin seemed to look closer at her. “You were there?”
Padmé nodded, and Anakin sighed. “Believe me when I say that if I could have been there I would have. When I felt the disturbance I was on the other side of Theed, and by the time I made it to the studio the fire was already out.” He was about to say more, when a new voice joined the conversation.
“Anakin! Anakin, for Force sake where are you?”
Anakin ducked his head and muttered, “He found me.”
“Who found you?”
Before Anakin could answer, a man appeared from around the house, his cloak billowing out behind him. “There you are! I was starting to think you had – oh!” Anakin’s friend stopped short as he took notice of Padmé’s presence.
Anakin beckoned the man forward. “Padmé, may I introduce my friend and former Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi? Obi-Wan, this is Padmé Naberrie.”
Obi-Wan bowed in greeting. “Forgive the intrusion milady. We were only passing through, and-”
“No, it isn’t a problem Master Kenobi,” Padmé reassured him.
“Still, we should be on our way,” Obi-Wan said with a pointed look at Anakin.
“Of course,” Anakin said. He turned to Padmé. “I am glad to have met you, Padmé.” And with a swirl of his cloak, he and Obi-Wan were fading back into the darkness.
Padmé could only stare as the two Jedi left, amazed that she had even met them at all.
But as soon as she was left on her own again, the thoughts that she had suppressed throughout the day came rushing back in brute strength. With no one to distract her she was left staring off into space as she contemplated just how close she had come to dying. No matter how she tried, she could not erase those horrible memories.
Kala found her five minutes later, rooted to the same spot. Placing her hand on Padmé’s shoulder, she asked softly, “Did you dream?”
Padmé nodded stiffly before turning around to face her friend. “Before Dean found us, there was a brief moment where I swear I heard my mother’s voice.”
“What did she say?” Kala asked gently.
Padmé smiled a little, though her eyes were starting to glisten with unshed tears. “She said ‘Turn around darling; you aren’t ready’”. Padmé’s mouth quivered for a fraction of a second before she took a deep breath. “I can not think about that right now or I’ll break down. Distract me, please?”
Kala smiled and held up two swimsuits. “I’m one step ahead of you.”
******************
They had been walking for about ten minutes when Obi-Wan suddenly pulled Anakin down a deserted side street.
“What were you thinking?” he whispered furiously. “I thought we were here to observe, to blend in. I certainly did not expect you to go traipsing off on your own in the open! What if someone had recognized you?”
Anakin raised an eyebrow at Obi-Wan’s outburst. “Are you finished?” When Obi-Wan merely scowled, Anakin continued. “First of all, I doubt anyone here would recognize me as Jorel considering no one knows what I look like. However, if someone did recognize me, all they would see is the Jedi.”
“That is precisely my point,” Obi-Wan said. “If word starts circulating that Anakin Skywalker is on Naboo, word is bound to reach your family!”
“Then I suppose we will just have to be extra careful.”
Obi-Wan clapped his hand to his forehead in aggravation. “Was it really necessary to reveal yourself to the girl?”
“I had not meant to,” Anakin admitted, “but I don’t foresee any problems. She doesn’t seem like the type to go running down the street shouting the news of my arrival.”
“I honestly do no know what to do with you at times,” Obi-Wan muttered in response.
A sudden noise from further down the street made the two realize just how out in the open they were. Anakin and Obi-Wan glanced at each other, communicating in a way only Jedi could. Then as one, the two men slipped into the shadows and disappeared into the night.

Finally, Padme and Anakin met each other!
Although, it was strange that Anakin was in Padme's backyard in the middle of the night.  
Great post and thanks for the PM!

Thanks for the PM.
Anakin ducked his head and muttered, “He found me.”
Why was Anakin hiding from Obi-Wan? In general, Naboo is beautiful everywhere & has loads of serene places. I’m wondering why Anakin chose to meditate at the lake front that bordered Padmé’s backyard.
Great chapter, but UGG ... more mysteries!
