    Tracy: :eek:

    I think that's a bad idea, Jade. So does Loreley. Right, honey? Right? Uh...hon...?

    Uh-oh, now Luney's here...

    Jae, apologies for hijacking your thread. Please don't do the underwear thing...

    As well he should, Jade. Heck, it's not like he's not an underwear model already. :p

    Patience, Luney - I hope to have the next post up later today. In the meantime, I have Shadows to catch up on. ;)

    Pokey, it's good to have you here. Glad you're enjoying it. :)

    *peeks into thread*

    Hi Jae! This story is awesome so far! All I've heard from Kirk and Tim is "Jae's story this", and "Insert pretentious title that", soooo, I thought I'd take the opportunity the repost offered to read. :D And I like what I'm reading, no small accomplishment for someone who writes prequel. Ask anyone, you know I love you if I read your prequel fic.

    I love your Anakin/Obi-Wan interaction! It is so funny, yet totally in character for both! LOL, I felt sorry for Anakin when Obi was teasing him about Bail, poor kid.

    Can't wait for this to continue. :D

    Hey, Jalen! Another prequel convert is always welcome. ;) I enjoy writing Anakin and Obi-Wan - they really play off one another well.

    Okay, sabre, here it is...

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

    Sabé looked around the empty foyer in confusion. The guard posted outside the Naboo contingent's apartments had announced a Jedi visitor for the Queen, but there was no one around. She stepped over to the intercom to call the guard for verification. Before she could activate it, she felt something poke her in the back.

    "Hey, little girl," came a nasally voice, "ya wanna see my lightsaber?"

    Before the speaker finished his sentence, Sabé was in motion, spinning around with her tiny concealed blaster in hand. A powerful hand grabbed her wrist, and she looked up into the grinning face of?

    "Anakin Skywalker!" she snapped. "I swear, one of these days?." She waved the blaster in his face.

    "Ooh, promises, promises," Anakin said in his normal voice, flashing her a cocky grin. He bent down to kiss Sabé?s cheek. "You?re as beautiful as ever."

    "And you are so full of poodoo, as always," Sabé replied. She craned her neck to look at him as he towered over her. "But I guess that?s understandable. You?ve gotten so tall that no oxygen is getting to that tiny little brain of yours."

    "And your disposition is just as sweet as always," Anakin laughed. He dodged as Sabé threw a vicious right hook, and walked into the sitting room, looking around. "So where is she?"

    "I am sorry, but Her Highness is not here right now." Sabé grinned at the anguished look on his face.

    There was a long pause as he looked at her expectantly. "So?where can I find her?" he asked.

    "Don?t know." Sabé shrugged.

    "Liar."

    Sabé contained her laughter, and let him stew for a few minutes before relenting. "I don?t know where Her Highness is. However, Padmé is in her office."

    Anakin was looming over her in an instant. His stance was threatening, but his tone was light, and his eyes shone with humor. "Do you know what the punishment is for a handmaiden who teases a Jedi?"

    "Ooh, I'm scared, " she mocked, pushing him away. "Now go see her before you go into hormonal overload."

    Sabé watched Anakin as he headed down the hall to Padmé?s office. Saché came out of another room as he passed, and he paused to give her a slight bow and a wink before he slipped into the Queen?s office.

    "Who was that?" Saché asked after the office door had closed.

    "Anakin Skywalker," answered Sabé with a grin.

    "Really?" Saché raised her eyebrows in approval. "Well! He?s certainly grown up! And quite nicely, I might add."

    "I thought you had your eye on Bail Organa."

    "Yeah, me and every other breathing female in the galaxy," Saché said. "But he?s enamored of the Queen right now." She glanced to where Anakin had disappeared and smiled. "Besides, it never hurts to have a backup plan."

    ---------------

    Anakin looked around the Queen?s office. Padmé was no where to be seen, and her desk was a disaster area, littered with datacards and flimsies. The data reader was still blinking. Anakin frowned ? it wasn?t like Padmé to leave her work area in such disarray. He reached out with the Force to locate her and found her out on the balcony. His frown deepened as he sensed her frustration and uncertainty.

    Slipping soundlessly through the door, he saw Padmé leaning on the railing at the far end of the balcony, gazing out over the city. She was dressed in a simple handmaiden?s gown. Her dark hair flowed loose over her shoulders, the strands dancing around her face in the light breeze. Anakin simply stared at her for a moment, admiring her beauty and basking in the warm glow of her presence.

    Gliding up behind her, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Are you an angel?"

    Startled, Padmé jumped and spun around. "Ani!" she cried in delight. Standing on tiptoe, she threw her arms around his neck and hugged him.

    "Who else?" he said with a grin. Crushing her in a tight hug, he picked her

    Yeah, Jalen, Anakin probably needs body armor for an evening out with Sabe. Kind of like any male who ventures into a chat room. ;)

    Great post, Jae. The interaction between Anakin and Sabe is hilarious, like a pesky little brother and his exasperated big sister. :D

    Yeah, body armor, and preferably a couple other guys so we can assume a defensive formation...LOL.

    The post looks great, Jae! :) I love the relationship Anakin and Sabe have- it's great! I also really like how well Anakin sulks- he's a pro! ;)


    Yes, guys, you would lose- you always do... ;)

    Not that we ever hear you complaining about it. :p

    And you know... there are worse things you could be addicted to... [face_mischief]

    We know, sweetie. ;) :D

    Jae: Great post. :)

    Now, Padme--you know you want to dump that old man and go with Ani instead. ;) (Or if you don't, and Sabe isn't up to it, I'll go with him... [face_mischief] )

    Wow, look at all the replies! :D Even if half of them were women looking to flirt with Lothi (and now Tim, too). ;)

    Jalen: Sure he wants to go with Padme - but like Mick says, "you can't always get what you want..." ;)

    *inserts flirtatious comments here* [face_laugh]

    Lothi and Tim: I don't hear you guys complaining much in those chats. Lothi, sweetheart, you're stepping closer to underwear modeling with every post. [face_mischief]

    Mely: Thanks, you too. ;)

    Jade: Of course Anakin sulks like a pro - I had a great models for him... *coughhubbysonLothicough* :D

    Luney: Thanks! You should feel sorry for him - but not too much. ;)

    Tracy: As long as you don't permanently damage him... :p

    WEll, it happens...this is what tagging your fics is for...LOL. I recall Kirk said DOTF was something like part story, part singles bar.

    LOL!! It's bad enough they want to see us in leather...

    Sorry I forgot to mention: Great post.
    Isn't it naive of Ani to think that the queen will be without an escort? But then love does make one's thinking quite irrational. Sabe's not that bad though, I like your Sabe JJ.
