Ch.5 - Threatening Visions
Padme awoke to the sweet scent of Anakin holding her.
"Mmmm. You smell good," she whispered.
He smiled. "That's because I'm with you," he said.
She snuggled deeper into his chest. "Oh Anakin, I love you."
He breathed in the deepness of her hair. "I love you too, sweet lady," he said.
She smiled. "What should we do today?" she asked.
"We could lie here forever," he said.
"But we should get up," she said, pushing herself away and out of bed, giggling the whole way.
He smiled. "You just have to have your way, don't you?"
She giggled wildly. "Mmmhmmm." Then, she danced off to the bathroom. In the bathroom, she found many combs and glittering jewelery, which she hesitated with at first but then refused. She simply drew a single brush through her hair and then returned to the bedroom to slip on a comfortable gown.
Anakin watched her in such awe. "You're so beautiful," he said.
"It's only because I'm so in love," she said.
"We've had this conversation before," he said.
"Indeed," she said, kissing him. "And I won."
He smirked confusedly as she waltzed down the hall.

Later that day, they headed into town and began to explore this mystical, magical place. They bumped into Obi-Wan more than once, who simply nodded happily and continued walking about.
They were the cutest, most adorable couple around and everyone stared and smiled at them as they walked. There Padme was in a long flowing lavender gown that just made it to her ankles. There were small fluffs for sleeves and her long set of curls that drained out of her head bounced merrily as she walked. A bit of it was even tied back into a bow. She looked like a sweet girl at her first fancy ceremony. Anakin stood next to her, draping his arm around her shoulder, unable to take his eyes off of her. Goodness knows, how they made it throughout town without bumping into something. Every so often they would kiss each other, and that really made people stop and stare.
"Let's stop in here," Padme said, heading into a type of food building.
"Okay…" he said dreamily, staring on at her as always.
She looked back and smiled at him. "Oh Anakin, I can't take you anywhere," she said, pulling him in with her. Of course, she was staring dreamily as well.
Padme picked up a few fruits here and there, casually putting them into a basket she had picked up. She strolled by a few things in the store with Anakin just barely keeping up with her. He couldn't keep his eyes off of her, and goodness knows it was effecting his feet-walking effectiveness.
Suddenly, she stopped. Maybe to see where some other fruits were and maybe just to see if Anakin was that far behind. But she turned around, and in an instant Anakin was there kissing her deeply upon her mouth. She giggled as their lips parted.
"You've got to stop this," she smiled.
He gently placed a shimmering, brunette curl behind her left ear, which he leaned into slowly. "But what if I can't?" he whispered.
She smiled helplessly, and bit her lip giddily. "I have to find some more food," she said, walking off. Of course, Anakin smiled at her, staring her down as usual. And of course, he followed her.

They went down one aisle and then the next, playing with each other's minds consistently. Padme picked up one can of beans and looked into it casually. She was about to set it down, when something strange seemed to happen to it. A strange face took the place of the picture of the beans. It was an ugly face, but it seemed to be taken over by a dark cloak. She set it down and picked up a can of corn, but the same thing happened. And it happened to every can, every box, every container of anything that she picked up, and slowly but surely the character's face was revealed and the dark cloak was distinguished. She looked at it in horror.
"Sith!" she gasped.
He cackled wildly. "You will never have him. He is mine. It is his destiny!" he said.
"No, no, no, nooooooooo!" she screamed. She ran down the aisle and the next. The whole store appeared to show the cackling Sith. He seemed to be coming towards her, being inside her and shoving his opinion into her mind as truth. She ran and ran and would not stop. It tormented her. It was everywhere. His words resonated in her mind and she could not shake it off.
Suddenly, she was stopped by something. She looked up and swore the person was Darth Vader. "AAAAHHHH!" she screamed.
"It's me, It's Anakin—your husband," the man said, soothingly.
Padme blinked a few times, and her vision cleared. The sweet, calming face of Anakin was before her and the store returned to its normality. She clung to Anakin, breathing rapidly.
"What is it?" he asked concerned.
She hardly spoke. She was trying so hard just to breathe. "It…it wasn't going to get me," she gasped for air. "I'll never have you…I'll never have you…"
"What are you talking about?" he asked. "I'm right here." His brow furrowed as he held closer.
"That's all he said," she mumbled. "I'll never have you….you're his." She looked up at him, terrified.
Anakin looked away, grasping her desperately. His mind fueled anger. Who is this he?
"Mmmm. You smell good," she whispered.
He smiled. "That's because I'm with you," he said.
She snuggled deeper into his chest. "Oh Anakin, I love you."
He breathed in the deepness of her hair. "I love you too, sweet lady," he said.
