I promised myself never to fall in love. It wasn't because I didn't want to, but the Jedi never allowed it. To fall in love was a distraction, one that would lead you to the dark side.

At the time I was nine and mostly known as Padme's little sister or helper. A servant that would follow her around or be just in the way of everything. Never given much thought but was just an annoyance.

In any case, I didn't join the Jedi until later in my age. The life of a Jedi was supposed to be adventurous and full of action, at least that was my thought. The Jedi were known as peacekeepers, ones that can get through anything. From the looks of it, I always found them quite interesting.

Anakin was around the age of 9 when I first laid my eyes on him. He had short dirty blonde hair and wore the most simple brown outfit. Although he was only nine years old, he was more than just a simple boy living on Tatooine. He was special in all kinds of forms, even in his midi-chlorian counts which reached over 20,000 and that's more than any Jedi ever recorded.

He was destined to be a great Jedi from the looks of it.

Padme was the Queen of Naboo. Selected when she was young, she was fearless. She was older and beautiful, wiser. Padme had soft brown hair that flowed nicely on her back.

Being raised in politics wasn't fun. In the summer, my sisters and I would go to a camp lake to learn more about the community of Naboo, my home planet. It was much different from Tatooine. It was full of natural life, waterfalls, tall green grass, and of course, the precious Gungans.

I remembered the sound of the ship blasted in a hurry making me hold onto the bars of the bed. It didn't surprise me, we were on the planet of Tatooine and well as my parents have told me before. It's not a planet to be on. I was on the end of the ship where the beds have been set up. I wasn't allowed to leave the ship... on Padme's orders. She always protected me, but she was still the one to be in trouble.

I sat up as the rumbling quickly slowed down.

The ship was beautiful. Padme always had a good sense of style. That's one of the many reasons boys would always want to be close to her.

I opened the door that led me to a small circular hallway. On the right of me was a door that headed to the base of the ship. My mind wondered about the silence and where Padme had gone.

It seemed no one was around, which was oddly strange. Usually, by now, Padme's servants would be walking around chatting. It was until I saw her, she was sitting across from a young boy my age.

Quickly I hid behind a small wall and started to pick up on their conversation. "You seem sad." the young boy said. "The Queen is worried. Her people are suffering, dying. She must convince the senate to intervene, or... I'm not sure what will happen." Padme answered.

The Jedi were known as peacemakers of the galaxy. To become one was almost as rare as becoming rich on a planet that is deserted. Luckily, Padme and I were saved by two Jedis on Naboo.

"I made this for you.." The young boy whispered. I looked over my shoulder once more, looking at the small object he had in his hands. "So you'd remember me," he handed her a wooden Japor snippet.

"I carved it out of a Japor snippet. It'll bring you good fortune." the boy mumbled. Due to his facial expressions, he looked so afraid. "It's beautiful. But I don't need this to remember you by," Padme added, and he smiled back, satisfied by the answer.

"Many things will change when we reach the capital, Ani. But my caring for you will remain," Padme whispered. "I care for you, too, only I-" the boy stopped midway and looked down.

He was holding something back; I could feel it. "Miss your mother," Padme finished, and Ani nodded.

I felt the sadness come from within him. It was something I always picked up on. I never understood how I could feel different energies.

Padme stood up, tucking the boy back in his blankets. She headed back towards the door, and she was gone.

I stood there in silence, thinking of a way to head back up before being spotted. As quietly as I could, I started to walk towards the elevator when I heard a voice behind me. "Hello?"
