Great update

Cool, I get the first response!

This story is so much fun. I'm glad to see an update. dancing

When I read this I see different scenes from different Cinderella-type movies. For the first part of this update I was seeing the Cinderella musical with Brandie and Whitney Houston. Those step-sisters were awful, and funny!

For the end I was seeing the end scene in Ella Enchanted where she's in a cell, her friends get her out, and she stops Char from being killed by the poisoned crown by yelling, "Hold that crown!"

Sorry if I'm seeing scenes you didn't intend. Its just my goofy imagination. tongue At least I'm enjoying it!

Thank you! Actually, I've never seen the one with Brandy, but I have seen Ella Enchanted but didn't remember it... oh well, I'm glad you liked it! grin

I think Anakin should show Jobal what happens to queens who try to sell the love of your life to some nasty Neimodians. devil

Great update.

Thanks! I am in complete agreement.

Yes... her mother is evil. But I'm sure Anakin will have something to say... or do about that! Maybe aggressive negotiations?

Glad you like it, bobafett15!

Here's the next chapter, everyone! The next chapter will be the last. It's been fun! I actually wrote this story YEARS ago, if you can believe it. I'd rewrite it to make it better, but I'm just too busy right now - but hey, I'm halfway done with my novel!! YAYA! Well, the first draft of the novel, anyway. Just haven't had the time to post.






Anakin then frowned. “That is your real name, isn’t it? Or is it Amidala?”

Padmé realized that he had known who she was at the ball. “Anakin, I… I’m sorry. I should have told you at the ball. Amidala’s my last, well, royal last name. But yes, my real name’s Padmé.”

Anakin looked at her. Before she could say anything else, he grabbed her to him and locked her in the most passionate kiss she’d ever experienced before. As a matter of fact, it was the only kiss she had ever experienced before, but she wasn’t complaining. His lips were soft and warm, and the feeling of them against hers nearly caused her to fall to the ground as her knees began to buckle. Anakin sensed her weakness and wrapped a strong arm around her small, delicate waist. His touch sent chills running throughout her body, and she shivered.

“Stop that at once!” Jobal thundered, causing the two to reluctantly break apart. She turned to Anakin. “You can’t marry her, she’s an imposter! A common peasant!”

Anakin looked at Padmé, breathing labored. “Are you just a handmaiden, like you told me the first time we met?” he asked quietly.

Padmé glared at Jobal and angrily shook her head. She was also out of breath from the staggering kiss she had just experienced. It was making it hard for her to think and speak clearly. Not that she minded, of course.

“No, it’s not true,” she shot back, “my name’s Padmé Naberrie Amidala, and my father was King Ruwee Naberrie. After he died, my stepmother, she,” she motioned to Jobal, “decided that she didn’t want me as heir to the throne and has made me work as a servant for the past ten years. Now she’s selling me to the Trade Federation, a criminal organization, in exchange for battle droids, and she’s taking money out of the bank account I never knew even existed!”

Anakin stared, astonished, from the Queen to Padmé. “Oh Force,” he said, the color draining from his face. “It’s true.”

“No, it’s not!” Jobal shrieked.

“She’s lying!” Sabé added in a panicked tone, “Don’t believe her!”

“It’s true,” Anakin repeated, gazing firmly at Padmé, who faintly smiled in return. He then slowly locked gazes with the Queen, who was fuming. “You’ve been committing some serious crimes,” he said coldly, “Dealing with a criminal organization, selling off the true heir to the Nubian throne, and taking credits out of her account. All these crimes are certainly enough to strip you of your title and your daughters’ as well, for they were in on it too. At least, knowing that Padmé was actually the heir to the throne. I’m going to arrest you and maybe your daughters.”

Jobal’s face became enraged. “I don’t think so!” she screeched, and pressed a button on her wrist. Anakin and Padmé turned to see a mass of battle droids coming towards them, ready to fire.

“Here’s where the fun begins,” Anakin grinned, and rushed at them, igniting his clear blue lightsaber.

Padmé began shooting them down with her blaster; and Anakin chopped many of them down. But even with a Jedi Knight, there were too many of the droids for him alone, and they forced the pair back into the hall.

“Commander Skywalker to Commander Cody,” Anakin said in his comlink, “requesting backup for Theed Palace.”

“We’re on our way, Commander,” Cody replied before shutting off the link.

Padmé looked at Anakin as they ran down the hall, droids running after them. “How long before they get here?” she panted.

“Oh, soon,” he replied. He deflected more bolts, sending them back into the droids. “I hope.”

“Why doesn’t that comfort me?” Padmé muttered.

Anakin and Padme darted into a closed off room, then shut and locked the door so they could rest for a minute. Padmé plopped down in a chair, inhaling and exhaling deeply. Anakin strode around the room, looking out of the windows for any possible escape routes. However, the room they were in was on the edge of a steep and high waterfall.

“This is all my fault,” Padmé said, irritated with herself as she listened to the sounds of the blaster fire outside the room. “I shouldn’t have given my stepmother away so soon. I should have waited for some kind of backup.”

Anakin, who had turned to listen to her, frowned, came forward, cloak billowing behind him, and knelt before her, lifting up her chin with his hand. “Listen to me, Padmé,” he said firmly but softly. “You did the right thing. She needed to be revealed. You didn’t do anything wrong.” He cupped her cheek in his hand, gently caressing her soft skin.

Padmé shyly smiled at him, placing her much smaller hand over his.

“That reminds me,” he continued, “I think this is yours.” He slowly reached behind his back and brought out her mother’s glass slipper.

Padmé gasped. “How in Naboo's name did you find that?” she asked earnestly. “I thought I’d lost it.”

Anakin glanced down at the slipper. “You left it on the Temple steps, so I took it to find you. I didn’t want to lose you forever.”

Padmé looked up and stared into his bottomless cerulean eyes.

“I love you, Padmé,” he whispered, and brought his lips to hers once again while slipping the glass shoe on her foot.

“Anakin, I love you,” Padmé said, happy tears in her eyes. Both wished that moment could have lasted for longer, but they were jolted out of it by the sound of blasters at their door.

Anakin glanced at Padmé, and then to the window.

“I’ve got an idea,” he started, grabbing her hand and pulling her up, “come on!” He took out his lightsaber, smashed one of the windows with the handle, and took out a special gun from his belt. He then shot out a hook rope that attached to the ledge above and wrapped an arm around Padmé. She held tight onto him as they rose into the air and up to the next level.

The droids had opened the door and were now firing at them, but they were already out of reach. Anakin and Padmé ran through one of the upper levels, heading towards the main weapons room. However, a number of droids came out at them, firing. Anakin drew his lightsaber and continued to slash them down, flipping and twisting in the air. Padmé blasted at them the best she could, and she was a pretty good shot.

“You call this a diplomatic solution?” Anakin called, chopping down another droid.

“No, I call it aggressive negotiations,” Padmé shouted back, grinning mischievously at him. He grinned and hacked down two more destroyer droids.

Once they managed to destroy of all the droids on that level, they raced down to the next and were immediately confronted by a mass of both droids and Nubian royal guards. Before Anakin or Padme knew what was happening, they had been surrounded. Ray shields suddenly burst to life right in front of the pair, and they were trapped inside its circle.

“Do you have a plan B?” Padmé muttered. Anakin frowned and glared at the droids.

“I say patience,” he replied, waiting for them to fire. Padmé raised her eyebrows.

“Patience?”

“Yes. The clones will be here any minute and destroy the droids, also releasing the ray shields.”

Padmé didn't reply, knowing there was no point in trying to argue with him.

“Don’t move, Jedi,” Panaka said, aiming his blaster at him.

“Captain, please, don’t do this,” Padmé pleaded, gazing at him. “The Queen is evil - you know that!” And as they stood there, Padme suddenly thought of an idea. Using her comlink on her belt, she slowly touched it and sent a signal to Artoo.

Panaka shook his head. “I’m sorry, I can’t disobey orders.”

TBC...

Great post, I like how Anakin just took the initiative and made Padme stop and listen by kissing her- how sweet. I do hope they can find a way out.
