You know that you did not have to come out of retirement, Sabe. Padme looked at her ex-handmaiden, and her best friend.
Yeah, I know. When Queen Jamilia asked me to help you out on this mission, and like you, I too am on a little vacation. Now, just sit still, so I can put this head dress on your head. Sabe smiled at her best friend through the mirror.
Ma,n I hate this head dress. It looks like a giant spring, running thru a bee hive. My hair is always frizzed out too. Padme made a face, as Sabe began pulling her hair through the spring looking head dress.
So, the question I have is, how did you get the Chosen One to be here with you? I am very surprised that the Jedi Council would even let him out of their sights. Sabe looked at Padme and saw her began to blush. <
Well, he had some time off and they knew I was coming to Naboo. They also know about the problems that we are having with the miners and laborers. A couple of weeks before, I got home and there was a couple of riots, so they thought it would be a good idea to have him with me, as a bodyguard. Padme stood up from the stool that she was sitting on, while Sabe fixed her hair.
Then, why do I get a feeling that you are not really telling me the whole truth about the two of you? You do know that you can tell me anything. I promise not to say a word. Sabe came up behind Padme, zipped up her dress and held out the hood cloak.
Yes, you are right. There is something that I have not told anyone, and that includes my family. For you see, I am married and have been for over two and half years now. Before you say a word, yes, Anakin is my husband. You see why we have kept our marriage a secret from everyone. Padme sat down and began putting on her shoes, just as Anakin came into the room.
Um . . . hey. Did I miss something? Anakin asked, looking at the two women standing in the middle of the bedroom.
Nothing is going on. Dont you look very handsome, Jedi Knight Skywalker. I will leave you two alone, because I need to get dressed too. Sabe nodded to the very handsome man standing in front of her.
The couple just nodded and watched the ex-handmaiden walk out of the bedroom.
Man, I really hate this outfit. Just give me my plain clothes any day. Anakin pulled at his collar, as he came further into the room and sat down on the stool.
I know what you mean. Like I was telling Sabe, I hate this head dress that I have on. Anakin, quit pulling on the collar. You are going to stretch it out and make it wrinkle. You know that we have to look presentable to this Prince, whats his name Padme came over to Anakin and stood in front of him.
I know, but this thing feels like it wants to choke me. You look a little nervous. Anakin looked up at his wife and saw her wipe her hands on her dress. Then, he reached out and pulled her close to him.
Yes, I am nervous. I always get this way, when it is meeting with someone new. I do not know why Jamilia cannot meet this person herself. Padme wrapped her arms around Anakins neck, before leaning downward and began kissing him.
Their blissful time alone was cut short, when there was a loud beeping sound, coming from the cockpit of the ship.
We are coming up to the planet. I will let you finishing getting ready. I love you, Padme. Anakin stood up and gave Padme a quick kiss, before leaving the room ,just as Sabe came back into the room.
Ten minutes later, Padme, along with Anakin and Sabe, walked down the ramp of the ship. Waiting for them, was the Crown Prince and his Prime Minister.
Welcome to Satturnline. I am Prince Branndyn and this is my Prime Minister, Chase Lu Blunche. You must be Senator Amidala of Naboo. It is a huge pleasure to meet you. the tall dark haired man came up to Padme and kissed her hand.
Thank you, Your Highness. It is a pleasure to meet you and Prime Minister Lu Blunche. This is my bodyguard, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, and my handmaiden, Sabe. Padme introduced her companions to the Prince.
Wow, a Jedi Knight. Well, this is really a pleasure. I have always heard about them, but never ever dreamed of meeting one. It also a huge pleasure to meet another beautiful woman. Well, if you are ready, I can show you around our city and even the new plant that we have just built, to house the plasma that we hope to get from your planet. Prince Branndyn motioned for the small group of people to follow him, so that way, they can get into the shuttle and tour the city and plant.
After a long day of touring the city and the plant that was being built on Satturnline, Padme finally retired to her guest apartments, which include extra rooms for Anakin and Sabe.
Well, good night you two. Whatever you two do, please keep it quiet. I really do not want to hear the two of you going at it. Sabe laughed at the couple, as they got really cozy on the couch.
Ok, we will be quiet. Good night and hope that you sleep well. See you tomorrow morning. Padme leaned over and grabbed her cup of tea, that was sitting on the table in front of the couch.
Night, Sabe. See you in the morning. Anakin lifted Padme off his lap and stood up to stretch.
Padme finished her tea and she put her cup in the washer, before coming up to Anakin. She took his hand and led him to her bedroom. Once they were in the room, they got undressed and climbed into the bed. Anakin pulled Padme to him, as she wrapped her arms around him, they just held onto each other, as they drifted off to sleep.
