Chapter 19

“ I will see you guys later.” Padme got up from the table.

“ So, what are you doing today, Padme? You never said.” Audri also got up from the table and followed Padme to the door.

“ I am going on a mission.” was all Padme said, as they walked out of the door.

“ Really? So, is Obi-Wan going with you?” Jayson asked, as they were walking down the hallway.

“ No, it is just me and he is on a mission right now.” Padme stopped at the Turbo-lift.

“ Ok. So, can you tell us what mission you are going on?” Brehnt asked, as they waited for the lift.

“ I really do not know. All I can say is, I am part of security and I am working with a Senator and that is all.” Padme said, just as the lift stopped and the doors opened up.

“ Ok.” was all the other three Padawans said, as they watched Padme get onto the Turbo-lift.

Padme just nodded to her friends and stepped onto the lift. She hit the close button and watched the doors slid shut between her and her friends.

“ Hey, I am on my way. So, are you up and ready?” Padme hit her Com-link button.

“ Um . . . what? . . . Ok, yes, I am awake and waiting for you to get here.” Anakin stopped reading the treaty document.

“ O.k I am now getting to the hanger bay. so I can get my speeder. I should be there in about ten minutes.” Padme felt the lift stop on the level that the hanger bay was on.

“ Ok, see you then.” Anakin shut off the data pad and stood up from his desk.

Padme disconnected the link, as the doors of the lift slid opened and she stepped off the lift.

“ Morning, Padme. Your speeder is ready for you.” the hanger bay worker looked up from his data pad and saw the young Padawan coming up to him.

“ Morning. Ok. Thank you and I will be gone of the next few days, so you have a nice day.” Padme smiled at the guy and walked towards her speeder.

“ Ok. You have a safe trip ,to where ever you are going.” the worker nodded and went back to his work.

Padme got into the speeder and took off towards Anakin’s apartment.

“ Hey, am so glad that you are here.” Anakin stood on the landing platform, as he saw Padme getting out of the speeder.

“ Hey, am glad that I could be of service.” Padme came up to Anakin and gave him a smile and noticed that he was not alone.

“ Welcome Jedi, Padme. Please come with me and I will brief you on the mission.” Captain Typho came up beside Anakin and nodded a greeting to Padme.

“ Thank you, Captain. Sure, that will be a great idea, so that way, I know what I am getting myself into.” Padme nodded to the Captain and head of Anakin’s security.

They walked into the apartment and briefed Padme on what her main job was going to be. She would be Anakin’s bodyguard and that means she will be with him twenty-four-seven, while they are on this mission. Once everyone knew what they had to do, they all boarded the ship and took off for the peace treaty signing, that was going to take place in couple of days, between two warring cultures on the one planet. Once the security people were settled into their quarters, it was at this time, Padme went over to Anakin’s private quarters.

“ Come in.” Anakin called out. “

Hey.” Padme came into the room, shutting and locking the door behind her.

“ Hey. Man, I just want to hold you in my arms.” Anakin got up from the bed, came up to Padme and pulled her into his arms.

“That is the place I want to be in. I have missed you so much and I was hoping that after this, we can spend some time alone.” Padme wrapped her arms around Anakin’s waist.

“ Sure. I will make sure that we got that time too.” Anakin leaned his head down and began kissing Padme.

Before anything could happe, Captain Typho came up to the door and knocked on it.

“ Yes, Captain.” Anakin let go of Padme and went over to the door. He opened it up and faced the man.

“ You have a call from Timbo, the high chiefton on Desmyion.” Captain Typho looked at Anakin and the noticed that Padme was in the room with Anakin.

“ Thank you, Captain. I will be there shortly.” Anakin nodded to the Captain, who turned and walked away.

“ Well, I guess I better get to my quarters and let Obi-Wan know that I am off and that we should be joining him in a couple of days.” Padme came up to Anakin, then she reached out with her right hand and gave his butt a slight squeeze, before walking out the door.

Anakin just jumped slightly, then left his quarters and made his way to the Cockpit to let the Chiefton know that he was on his way, with the treaty document. Twelve hours later, Padme laid down in her quarters and just began dozing off to the sound of the engines of the ship.
