Chapter Twenty Four
When Padme leaves, the three of us head back to the speeder.
"So what have you been doing all day?" I question him, the moment she's gone.
"I had some things to discuss with Senator Amidala," he says.
"All day? You could have at least come and got me or actually tell someone where you were going you know," I whine at him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was going to take that long did I? So you've been looking for me all day I suppose? What else have you done?" Anakin says, shunting me to the side as we push through a crowd of people.
"We've been looking for you all day. Obi Wan didn't know anything so we searched all over the temple, and then all over Coruscant! Oh, and we went to find Rex as well," I complain, walking sideways in front of him so he can't ignore me.
"What was Rex doing? I never gave him any orders," Anakin enquires. I try and fail to make quotation marks in the air with my hands, but my sling stops me.
"Unloading crates and emptying them apparently. But it looked more like talking about the most creative way to destroy a droid, and sitting on top of the sealed crates," I explain, looking at his face to see his reaction.
"Good," Anakin grins, "Sometimes cutting them apart isn't as exciting as it should be. I'm looking forward for the next mission with droids,"
"I bet you are," I laugh.
***
After dropping Lux back at his apartment, we headed back to the temple, obviously, with Anakin driving.
"Did you really have to pick this one?" Anakin complains, gesturing towards the speeder.
"Why? What's wrong with it?" I question, guessing the answer.
"It isn't fast enough, the steering isn't as good as it could be, and the brakes can't be used at the last second," he says, landing it and jumping out.
"So?" I tease, jumping out after him.
"So it isn't good enough," Anakin responds smartly. I pull a face at his back as I hurry to keep up with his long stride.
"Hey! Are you going to wait for me?" I yell, because I'm not getting any closer. He stops and sighs, waiting for me.
"Thank you!" I say, falling into step beside him.
"Snips," Anakin says, changing the subject, "You need to be ready early tomorrow, because we need to go before everyone is out. Not to mention it's going to take a while to get there,"
"Okay Master," I reply, as we walk down the corridor leading to our private apartments, "Night Master," I add, stopping outside my own room.
"See you tomorrow Snips," Anakin says, stopping, turning around and walking in the direction we came from.
Where on Coruscant is he going now?
Author's note:
I'm sorry for not updating quickly. I got distracted, pet dog going missing, cousin running off into the forest and everyone falling off horses. I'll try and do better.
