'Blame Nat' sequel to What if Anakin met Natalie.(upd 07/30 "I love palpy"

LOL! As promised, here's the next, eagerly antisipated post!! And it's long *gasp* imagine that

*******************************************

Natalie stepped out of the 'fresher the next morning and straight into the disapproving looks of her handmaidens. She stopped. "What?"

"Why are you dressed in that?"

Natalie looked down at the bodysuit she'd slipped into after her shower. It was dark blue and hugged her figure, but there was little ornamentation. "I- I needed something to wear?" she offered lamely.

The handmaidens rummaged through the closet, pulling clothes off hangars and just as quickly Nat discarded them. She was looking for something, surely Padmé had... There, at the back of the closet. The teal skirt and top that connected at the back, something just casual enough for visiting family and yet regal enough if need be. "Now this is perfect."

Sache pulled the outfit from her hands and, with Yané and Eirtae's help, quickly had her stripped of the body suit, helping her into the skirt and top. Yané quickly pulled her hair back onto the top of her head with an ornate silver head band. "Come on," Rabé moved from the doorway and pulled a light cloak from the peg by the door. "Put this on, Padmé, and quickly. We're going to be late."

"For what?"

Rabé grabbed her arm and propelled her out of the room, not explaining. Yané stepped up behind as Natalie pulled the cloak about her shoulders and raised the hood. Outside her doorway, Anakin was waiting for her. She looked around as he bowed to her. "Good morning, your Highness."

"Good morning Padawan Skywalker." She replied, looking to the left. "Where is your Master this morning?"

"He apologizes, but he was called away on another assignment this morning."

She inclined her head and followed her handmaidens, who were setting a quick pace towards the front of the palace, Anakin taking his position as the rear guard.

:: Sleep well, Nat?::

::Well enough without you, Skywalker. Tell me again why I'm doing this?::

::To keep the galaxy from war?::

She coughed to cover the almost hysterical giggle that threatened to erupt. Yané looked at her questioningly but she shook her head indicating she was fine. Anakin didn't understand why his comment was funny and her handmaidens certainly weren't going to get it.

::Right. War. You're going to have to pull names from people's thoughts today, Anakin, or else this whole thing might blow up in our faces.::

::Yes Ma'am. Far be it for me to fail you two days in a row.::

Natalie paused on the steps of the Palace, looking down at the speeder below. At least she didn't have to walk. When they finally stopped in front of a huge building with an enclosed fence, Rabé turned to look at her. "As usual, trip to the city isn't complete without a stop at the orphanage first."

Natalie accepted Anakin's help from the speeder as her mind reached out for his. ::What's going on?::

::Er, this is Padmé's pet project.::

::And you didn't think to warn me?!::

::Sorry, love. I've never been here before.::

::You what?::

Anakin fell in behind her as they escorted her to the door. The gate opened and they stepped inside, the children in the courtyard looking up and shrieking as they stepped through. "Padmé!" "Rabé!" "Sabé!" the children dropped whatever they were doing and raced towards the handmaidens and Natalie.

The handmaidens pulled their hoods back and knelt, Natalie doing the same, as each of the three were swarmed by children. Rabé and Sabé laughed, hugging and tussling hair, Natalie quickly following their example.

"Did you bring us something?" asked an eager impish looking boy. He couldn't have been more than six.

Natalie looked at Rabé who was chuckling softly. "Yes, Siane, we did. Yané?"

Yané pulled a large box from behind her back and placed it on the ground. "It's for everyone, so you have to share."

The children, all save one very young blonde girl, swarmed the box. The tiny child hung back and grasped Natalie's skirt

 

WONDERFUL JADE!!

Great, that was really great. And it was a good idea for Nat to tell Sola about Anakin. Lovely interaction in the family! UP!

 

What a wonderful post, Jade_Max! It was well worth waiting for!

I loved it, and I'm so happy that Natalie decided to tell Sola about her and Anakin. It was so sweet!

Awww *looks down at her feet and scuffs her shoes* sabrelight helped me a lot, I can't take all the credit... I re-wrote the other one (this one is -much- better) according to her guidelines. But thank you, guys, you're too kind.

 

Bump^

 

Yeah! New post!

I loved it! It was worth the wait.

 

This sank waayyy too fast! UP!

 

Wonderful post Jade, and you deserve the credit for a job well done.

 

THAT WAS WONDERFULLL!!!!!!!!!!

I love how you had Nat interact with children like that! Hehe, Paddy, that sounds kind of wierd. It's nice to know that Padme had a soft spot for orphans, though.

What's Sola going to think if she ever finds out that Nat's not her sister? Ugh, this is just getting more and more disasterous! At least she told Sola about Ani.

I love how you had Ryoo and Pooja be so mischievious! They're so sweet!

 

Aww shucks.. *blushes* Thanks...

 

ahhhhhhhh that was so sweet jade. That was cute how Nat got along with the orphans and how she fixed the teddy bear. I luv that name Paddy....

 

You know if you change the topic headline thingy, people would be more alerted to the new post, and you'd get more readers!

Just a suggestion.

 

*chuckle* oh yeah, I didn't notice that... sabrelight... oh sabrelight

 

Awwww! I'm so glad Nat told Sola about the marriage. It was smart, since that's what Padme would have done. And now they don't have to hide their love when they're with Sola.

 

Ooops guys, I forgot to update the thread title. I remedy that right now.

 

awww, sola knows, and shes okay with it. thats so cute. i wonder whats going to happen next.

UP!

 

Yes, up!

 

*grins* Sola struck me as the understanding type.. if you've read the novel version of the movie, Sola is actually a lot like Padmé... very understanding and supportive and she's exceedingly close to her younger sister

sabrelight's up next I think...
