"SHES A SENATOR?" I question with an unsure tone. "Yeah, your not a fan of them?" Anakin asked sensing my tone, I shrugged lightly and shook my head. "I've only ever seen them when they come to the temple but whenever I hear them speaking, I just want to cry at how boring they sound."

Anakin laughed lightly. "I get you but Padmé actually has a personality and shes not boring, I promise." He said, I made a weird face at his words. "Padmé? How close are you to be on a first name basis?" I tease while taking a sip out of my straw. We had landed in Naboo an hour ago and we were planning to meet Anakin's senator friend to go dress shopping but that was soon scrapped when I insisted to see this beautiful city so now we were walking around the city. Thankfully, Anakin barely says no when I ask to do something.

"I've known her since I was 9, when she used to be queen, and then a few months ago I was on a mission to protect her." He explained while looking over at me, I frown at his explanation in confusion and took another long sip. "She used to be Queen? Is she like 50?"

Anakin laughed and shook his head. "No shes 24, she was queen at 14, thats why." My eyes widened a bit at that. "God, I cant imagine being a queen at 14." I announce, Anakin smiled and nodded. "Why, what were you doing at 14?" He asked teasingly, I smiled shyly and shrugged. "It was only 3 years ago so nothing different to what I do now and its not because I would be busy, I just dont think I could handle ruling a whole planet," I explain while messing with the flower crown I made 30 minutes ago when we were walking through a field. I had taken one look the gorgeous flowers that littered the grass and knew I had to make something for myself. It was clear we were going to be late but Anakin gave up on trying to persuade me to be on time. "or my more reasonable answer would be is that I hate politics."

A whiff of cold breeze hit me and I sent a glare to Anakin. "Not cold my ass, you liar." I shot at him, Anakin looked back at me and acted innocent. "I mean what did you expect, its November?" Mila gave him a pout along with a sarcastic pat on the back. "Awh, Im so proud of you, you know your months! How about next time, we dont lie to people, okay?" I spoke to him like he was a child, which he was even if he was the adult between us, Anakin raised his eyebrows spoke in a sarcastic manner. "Okay, well maybe next time, how about we buy clothes that are suitable for all seasons, okay?"

"I shouldn't have forgave you. Your a pain in my ass." I retorted in a half serious - half joking tone. I was so done with this boy that I looked at my empty bottle, then to his ugly, perfect, messed up face and back to my bottle before deciding that I shouldnt throw it at his face and I throw it in the trash, I had to give the whole friend thing a try. I kept on walking infront of him with him close behind, I was still uncomfortable with the idea of being in the same hotel room as him, mostly because of all the books I read but I wasnt about to mention that to him because I can tell he would tease me about it.

"How much more do we have to walk until-" I started but my own words got cut off by me stopping in my tracks with an agonising pain in my head, I felt Anakin bump his chest into me a bit and felt his emotions shift in the force but that's his own problem that he has to figure out.

"What is your probl-" Anakin began to complain but thankfully I managed to shut him up with my hand over his mouth. Once nothing was disturbing me, I tried to process what I had heard. Screaming. I heard a continuous woman's scream over and over again along with sobbing behind me but now I couldn't hear anything. I lock eyes with the person I know won't know anything but I still try. "Did you hear that?"
