My Little Hero
PART 3: THE GOOD BYE
“What do you think?” Anakin asked as he modeled his new >Padawan uniform= for Queen Amidala. Now they both were dressed up in traditional garb.
“Your adorable,” she smiled. “Sabe, Rabe, Eirtae,” she called asking for her handmaidens opinions.
They all agreed he was adorable.
“I hate it,” Anakin said running his hands across his now spiked hair.
“You think I love all the elaborate gowns I have to get into every morning.”
“It’s the sacrifice we make for our destiny,” he replied. The Queen herself was wearing a simple white gown for today’s parade, well simpler than her other outfits. There was no head piece, just this fan thing that rose out the back of the dress.
“Ani, I can’t believe you’ll be leaving me soon. My little boy is growing up.” She pinched his cheek more to annoy him than anything.
“Ugh,” he groaned again. It was almost as bad as saying he was cute. Little boy?
“It’s time,” Panaka said coming into the throne room.
“I have to go catch up with Obi-Wan,” Anakin said running out the door.
“Good-bye Anakin Skywalker,” Padmè said as her handmaidens assembled. “My little hero.”
She would see him again. They were linked, she knew that. She would see him off officially later today, but this was there last private moment as Anakin and Padmè .
