Off in the distance, the birds were singing their morning songs and the sun was starting to rise above the mountains that were across the lake. Two figures were sitting at the small dining table, having their breakfast, when there was a light tap on the door and a robbed figure came into the room.
Excuse me, Padme, but Nessie, you have a visitor. the woman came up to the table and bowed her head.
Thank you, Sabe. Please show the person in. Padme nodded back to the woman and gave Nessie a smile.
Yes, maam. Sabe turned and headed back out of the room to the grand hall, where the person was waiting.
Sabe came up to the figure that was standing by the window and looking out over the lake.
Please, follow me. Sabe motioned for the lone figure to follow her, to where the two females were sitting having their breakfast.
Sabe tapped on the door again, then opened up the door and the two people were still sitting at the small table.
Nessie and oh my . . . . Senator Amidala! the figure said, as they lowered the hood from their head.
Anakin! Um, what are you doing here? Oh, Padme, this is Anakin Skywalker, and Anakin, you know the Senator. Nessie introduce Anakin to her cousin.
Anakin, it is very nice to meet you. Nessie has told me some about you, and yes, I have seen you before at the Senate building. You are with Master Obi-Wan. Padme smiled up at Anakin and shook his hand.
Um, yes, Milady. I used to go to the Senate building with my Jedi Master. Anakin bowed his head to Padme.
Please call me, Padme. Have a seat, and if you have not eaten yet, we can get you something. So, you are a Jedi, like my cousin here?. Padme motioned for Anakin to have a seat at the table with them.
It is very nice to see you, Anakin. Um, what are you doing here? Is Obi-Wan here too, along with Lucas? Nessie looked at Anakin ,as she took a sip of her tea.
It is good to see you too. No, they are not here. It is just me. Anakin reached over and took a piece of toast off the plate, and then began buttering and putting some jam onto the toast.
Well, if you will excuse me, I have some work to do. I believe you two need to be alone. It was nice to meet you, Anakin. Padme got up from the table and nodded to the young couple, before heading out of the room.
It is good to see you. How was your mission? Nessie grabbed another piece of toast and began to butter it.
It went pretty well. It is very good to see you too. How was your mission? I take it, the reason why you are here, is to detox your mind, from all the thoughts and feelings, from the people that you had to deal with. Anakin took a bite of his toast.
Yes, I had to detox. Let me guess, you have talked to Lucas. So, why is Obi-Wan not here with you? Nessie took a bite of her toast.
Yes, I did talk to him, before I left Corellia. Obi-Wan gave me permission to come here by myself. He told me that I need a few days away from everyone, so he told me to come here and be with you. Anakin reached over his plate, picked up his cup and took a sip of his Caf.
Well, I am so glad that you are here. If you want to be some place away from here, there is another place we can go, where it is very quiet and away from people. We also have a place in the mountains. Nessie took a last sip of her tea.
Ok, that sounds good to me. I would like to be very alone with you, with no one around. Anakin also took the last sip of his Caf.
Ok. We can leave in about twenty minutes. Just let me change clothes and if you like, you can go out onto the balcony and wait for me there. Nessie put down her tea cup and stood up from the table.
Ok, that sounds great. It will give me time to relax some, before we head out. Anakin also got up from the table.
Just wait out here and I will be down in few minutes. Nessie showed Anakin where he could go and wait for her, while she got dressed for the day.
It was two hours later, and Nessie was pulling up to a house that was surrounded by trees. Just below the small hill, there was a small lake in the clearing. Both Nessie and Anakin got out of the speeder and went inside the house. They had lunch, before Nessie took him out into the forest, so she could take him down to the lake.
Once there, they sat down on the dock and just watched the water fowl. They fed the fish that came up to the dock the crumbs of the bread that Nessie found in the kitchen.
Later that evening, after dinner, Anakin took Nessie to the bedroom and made love to her, before they fell sound asleep in each others arms.
