Padme was sitting in the Room of Thousand Fountains meditating, and she was thinking as to the way that she has not seen Obi-Wan for the past two days. She knows that he is here at the Temple, because she had seen him walking the halls with this woman. She just returned to the Temple early this morning from spending the night with Anakin. While he was in the Senate today, she thought it would be a good idea to stay the next two days in the Temple, so that way, her friends would not realize that she was not there all night long. As for Obi-Wan, he had told her this morning, before she left the apartment, that he would be in Council meetings for the next two days. That meant that she had two free days to herself and as much as she loves Anakin, there are times all she wants to do is be by herself in a very quiet place, just doing what she is doing now: Meditating.
Padme was just about to go into a deep Meditation, when her Com-link began to buzz.
“ Padme, here.” Padme hit the button to answer the call.
“ This is Obi-Wan. I am calling to let you know that you are needed to come up to the Council Chamber, right now.” Obi-Wan looked at Yoda, who just nodded his head.
“ Um . . . sure. I will be up there in couple of minutes.” Padme began to wonder why she had to be up at the Council, and hoping that she did not do anything wrong.
“ Ok. Then, we will see you soon.” Obi-Wan nodded to Yoda, as he too nodded.
Padme disconnected her Com-link, stood up and then began brushing herself off, from any leaves or grass that could be on her robes. Walking out of the room, Padme headed down the hallway to the Turbo-lift that goes up to the Council Chambers. Stopping in front of it, she pushed the button, the doors opened up and Padme stepped onto the lift, amd hit the button and the doors closed up. Padme closed her eyes, just as the Turbo-lift headed upwards towards the Jedi Council’s Chamber. The Turbo-lift stopped and the doors slid open. Padme stepped out of the lift into the hallway, and waiting for her was one of the Temple Guards.
“ Padawan Naberrie, please follow me. The Council members are waiting for you in the Chamber.” the Guard bowed his head, as Padme stepped out of the lift.
“ Um . . . sure. Please lead the way.” Padme nodded to the Guard, before he turned around and headed for the double doors that were at the end of the hallway.
Padme followed the Guard and stopped right behind him, when he came up to the door and gave it three short knocks on the door. The doors opened up on their own, because Yoda used the Force to opened them.
“ Come i,n Padawan.” Yoda called out from the Chamber.
Padme stepped into the room and the one thing that she noticed, was that the room was in total darkness.
“ Come into the middle of the room, Padme.” Obi-Wan’s voice came out of the darkness and it seemed to guide her to the middle of the room.
Padme followed Obi-Wan’s voice and through the Force, she could see the middle of the room.
“ Padawan Naberrie, please kneel.” Master Windu’s voice came out from the darkness.
Padme did as she was told and knelt down in the middle of the room. Then, as one by one, every Jedi Master in the room began telling everyone one thing about her. Once everyone finished telling their story about her, in the way that they had either learned from her, or they taught her something, there was total silence. Then, she heard the sound of lightsabers being activated. Master Yoda began saying a few words and then, Padme heard the lightsaber blade buzz against her head and then felt her Padawan braid fall to the ground. It was then, that Master Yoda, along with the other Jedi Masters announced that Padme was now Knighted. Picking up her braid and then standing up, she bowed her head to all the Masters in the room, before she was dismissed, so that way, they could continue their meetings. Padme hurried down to the hanger bay, grabbed her speeder and took off for Anakin’s apartment.
“ Ok. Then, I will fix you some dinner, because I have something to give you.” Padme flew out of the traffic and came up to the building that Anakin lives in.
Once she was inside the apartment, she began fixing Anakin’s dinner and getting things ready for his arrival in a couple of hours. Two hours later, Anakin came home and they had a quiet dinner together. Afterwards, Anakin took Padme into the bedroom where he made slow and passionate love to her most of the night.
