"Tears of An Angel" -- Obsessed with Ani&Ami? Come in, come in!

Oh, thanks for all your comments everyone! I was very nervous about that post, but I guess it turned out all right. Now things are just getting trickier and trickier, though. I know where I want to end up with this story, but getting there is proving very, very difficult. And I'm still trying to decide whether I should re-post this story in its own thread, which will have to contain spoiler warnings and probably scare people away or just keep posting here, which means less people will be likely to find it. Help! I just can't make a decision that hard; all my decision making skills have been used up for the day.

 

This deserves its own thread. Really.

Don't put spoiler warnings in the subject heading -- they're not obvious enough to need that. I'd just warn people in your first post on the thread.

Yay! I'm glad this will finally get some recognition. I love it dearly.

 

I have writer's block...

Keep on with the story!

 

Up!

I am only on page 5 and have to catch up!

 

Up!

 

What's up with this ?



It's death !!! I'm so I don't want this death !!!

 

So, TJG, I guess we have to think of some Ani/Amis to get this alive again !!!

 

Oh, definitely post anything Ani/Ami here; I'd like to keep this thread alive as well. I think it's useful as a kind of springboard. I posted just a little snippet here, that later grew into the very long Game of Hearts story I'm working on now. So who knows? Throw your ideas around here, and they may turn into something more.

 

Hm...but I can't write romance...I'll try, though

 

I'll save this thread-for the time being. I'll post the wedding scene from Anakin and Amidala-love found. Unfortunately chocos and TJG you'll have already read it.

I'll post the whole scene in three or four post.
*********************************************
THE WEDDING (From my fanfic ANAKIN & AMIDALA-LOVE FOUND)

It seemed like forever before the Chief sent a pack of warriors over to escort the groom and his entourage to the main village. Anakin's legs seemed to go weak all of a sudden. If not for Liane's support, Anakin was sure he'd be rolling down those steps.

They came out into the fresh air. It was almost nightfall. The group would ride gaily-decorated kadu while the groom and one of his friends would ride the only famba that stood by the steps. Anakin decided to take Liane as his mulgare(best man)

The whole party ambled towards the gate of the warrior village where they were preceded by a noisy band of musicians and young men bearing lighted torches. Along the way others-guest from neighboring villages heading for the main village-joined the group, singing and dancing along the way, children were everywhere, squealing and shouting in delight.

Anakin looked around fascinated. A wide grin plastered on his face. ?Wow! He thought, all this trouble for a padawan!? This was indeed strange for him to be given special treatment-coming from an order that discouraged any special treatment except between padawan and master.

Even being the chosen one didn?t elicit a special status for him. He was the hero of many campaigns, distinguishing himself as a courageous pilot but back in the temple he was just another padawan and he hadn?t thought it odd.

As they neared the Main village, Anakin noticed that not only was the gate decorated with colorful light but the trees all around too shimmered with tiny lamps right up to the lofty tops.

Guards rushed to open the gate, revealing more lights and decorations. Small globs of light hung in the air around them, seemingly tacked to the air. A long line of gaudily dressed young girls on either side of the path showered them with flower petals and chants of welcome.

Anakin tried to pinch himself and flinched at the pain- ?This is real.?

Once through the gate, the rest of the group fell back while a guard led the famba to a pedestal so that its passengers could get off gracefully. Chief Wakabu was there to receive them, embracing the groom and then his son, in a traditional welcome gesture of the host.

The chief lead the way. They climbed some steps to a raised platform, over looking the village square, it was crowded with people; a boiling and churning sea of bobbing heads and hands as they moved to the lively music.

Anakin wondered how the chief had managed to arrange this banquet on such a short notice. Hundreds of tiny oil lamps lined the gardens and walkways. A huge fountain flowed in the middle throwing a thin cool spray on the guests surrounding it.

?How did all of them know there was a wedding here?? Anakin thought aloud.

?The drums.? Liane said. At noon the drummers relay the news from village to village and who ever hears it is invited.

?How will you?ll feed them-surely they won?t be sent home hungry!?

Lianne laughed. ?Nothing lavish-simplicity is our key to a full life. All the chiefs are invited-each one gets a pre-arranged number of animals or game birds and then the warriors roast them on open fires.?

Chief Wakabu led him to circle of chairs with regal looking gentlemen seated on it all with square turbans piled on their heads. This was the only time he saw them dressed; Capa men were half naked most of the time wearing only their customary animal skins around their waist.
The women wore long sheets draped around their bodies.

Anakin was led to all the chairs one by one where Chief Wakabu introduced council members, and other village chieftains to him and Anakin was in turn introduced to them, as his son-in-law Anakin Skywalker. Short greetings were exchanged and then onto the next guest.

At last he was led to

 

YAY !! Go Sabre go !!

Thanks chocos! Between the three of us, we've lifted this story to page 17.
*********************************************

The wedding night.

A whole troop escorted them to their room on the second floor of the guestrooms. Liane and his band of merry warriors clumped around Anakin, the Chief walked besides the bride, holding out his arm for support. Several little girls dressed in white frocks-hair decorated with flowered wreaths-and another dozen little boys-dressed like the warriors, turban and all-helped with the bride?s flowing train. Behind them followed the bridesmaids, unusually quite, the presence of the chief insured that they behaved as ladies should.

Liane and the other warriors kept up a cheery banter nudging and thumping Anakin now, laughing raucously on their own jokes.
Anakin didn?t seem to find anything funny though; he was only conscious of the heat radiating from the queen?s hand through their laced fingers.

Amidala had a hard time keeping up with Anakin because of her high-heeled shoes that kept slipping on the loose gravel.
She groaned inwardly at the seemingly endless, twisting garden path leading to the guest rooms, her feet were killing her.

?If Anakin decides to carry me I won?t refuse,? She thought. ?But Anakin is too busy bantering with those loud mouthed pack of braggarts.? She thought as she looked at his back again. ?He might as well be towing a pack animal,? She told herself. She tripped on her dress once more, and once more the chief steadied her for which she was grateful.

They reached the foot of the wooden steps, suddenly she stopped; pulling her hand back rudely, Anakin stopped mid-step and looked back at her. Amidala gave him a defiant look, her lips a thin line. The group stopped and looked quizzically at the two, then without another word, she pushed passed him on the narrow steps, her veil brushing against his face as she practically ran up holding her dress with both hands.

Anakin shrugged as the chief regarded him.
?Every thing will be alright my boy. Just leave it to me.? The chief said as he patted him on the back.


The boys stood by the door with the groom. Amidala heard more laughter and excited chatter. She was pacing angrily round the room, as Anakin opened the door she sat down fast on the couch, her back to the door. At last the door closed and she slumped back exhausted, grateful that it was over. She knew one thing-she would not be getting married again very soon-whether this farce was final or not.

Anakin first got rid of the cumbersome headpiece, throwing the turban on the table, he hurried over to Amidala; he could hardly hold his excitement-he?d wanted to be alone with her since he arrived from his hunting trip this morning.

He stopped suddenly uncertain of his next move. Amidala began to pull out the string of flowers and pins holding her hair on top of her head. The loose ends fell down to her waist like a waterfall. It was obvious she was miffed at him and was pointedly ignoring him.

Cautiously he approached her but she ignored him. Very deliberately he pushed off the white fabric, streaming out behind her on the couch and gently lowered him self there. He bent to pick up the discarded string of flowers on the floor, wrapping it around his hand. Taking a whiff of the aromatic flowers he relaxed back on the couch the heady perfume making him giddy.

He waited admiring her back as she began to take off her earring then her rings-he craned his neck over her and noticed she left the wedding ring on; making his hopes soar.

She began to fumble with the clasp of her necklace, Anakin rushed to help; their hands touched, sparks flew. She looked back over her shoulders to glare at him.

?I?m?I?m sorry! Pad? he whispered. She just glared. Anakin?s eyes rose slowly to meet her eyes.

?So blue and so innocent,? she thought as the two stared at each other.

?Sorry for what?? She asked after a lengthy pause.

?For whatever I did to make you mad,?

?Actually?? She said as she turned in her seat, so that they were sitting

 

Yahoo !!! I already said that this is perfect in the real thread, didn't I ?

 

Got to thank you again chocos.

Hey since we're the only ones here why don't we chat-you know talk about our family or anything. BTW is Anakin related to you in any way or are you something of Padme's. They're both my cousins You know, Anakin from mother side-there so intelligent and ecentric and padme from my father's side. My dads one cool headed guy!-Good for me- cuz sometimes I really overstep the line.


No NO you can talk- feel free there's no one else around so we can share a few secrets

 

Hmmm, so we can write little snippets in here, because I have an idea from the latest Making of Episode 2 with the lines they had so nicely let us hear!

Thanks cinde. TJG and Chocos,this is a great place to post little snippets-maybe you could try your hand at a little romance or how about some short comedy, you know the type couples face in real life. So out with it.
