Authors Note: Hey guys! This will be my first story I've written in years. I'm doing this purely for fun. I don't mind any criticism, but even though I've proof read my story, I know there is grammar errors and my spelling has gotten worse in the last couple years (Thank you texting!). I really don't need to hear about every little comma I didn't put in. Of course if it is downright horrible and borderline not english then I deserve to be yelled at. Also, I am a huge fan of the Star Wars movies but like others, I'm not into the cartoon or books so bare with my limited knowledge. The Star Wars political/technical mumbo jumbo sometimes flies over my head but I've done my best. Any characters I didn't know or know well enough to be comfortable with didn't make my story. Any comments on my actual story and where it's headed is warmfully welcomed whether it's good or bad:-)

The intent of my story is based upon the fact that Anakin and Padme are young! I absolutely love these movies so don't think I'd change anything about them, but it's always annoyed me that it's always so serious with them. I understand why they are the way they are but I wanted to write this to remind people that they're in their 20's. They still have urges that everyone else has. I wanted to answer some questions like did Padme ever want to have a husband and kids or did it just happen because she fell for Anakin? Did Anakin ever want to try some alcohol in his 20's? Most do. It's always all work and no play. Whether they act upon it or not, the thoughts are still there. Sorry for this long babbling!

Disclaimers: I don't own Star Wars. If I did I definitely wouldn't be on here but at a beach with some very expensive champagne.

Summary: It's a Darth Vader/Padme story for those suckers out there like myself;-) The Republic has fallen and the Empire has risen! Darth Vader has single-handedly destroyed the Republic and brought fear into many hearts. His job is to end any suspected members of the uprise of what is now being called the Rebellion against the Empire. The Senator of Naboo, who is loved by many, is highly suspected of being a rebel leader. When suspicions become more clear, the emperor makes his move. He sends Darth Vader to make the arrest and to make sure he gets the proof he needs to end Senator Amidala once and for all and gain total control. Things get a bit more complicated when an unknown vessel shoots at the ship Darth Vader is transporting the senator in. They are then forced to land on the one planet Darth Vader hates most...Tatooine. Now stranded, the pair have to learn to tolerate each other while they figure out a way to get off the dusty planet.

CHAPTER ONE

VADER

Lord Vader stepped out from his room fully clothed in his suit. His respirator filled the hall. Wherever the respirator was heard, it wasn't uncommon to find a clear pathway. Lord Vader was the second most feared man in the galaxy fighting for the number one spot from none other than the emperor himself. It was the very same emperor that Vader was on his way to meet with now. He is told he had some updates on more suspects of rebels in the council. They were so close to finally eliminating what was left of the old republic. There were at least five big names that he knew were a huge part of the surfacing rebellion, and a few other minor names. It had been five years now since the birth of the Empire and introduction of the famous Darth Vader. Vader seemed to appear out of nowhere to most. He was a real shock to the Jedi when they sensed just how powerful he really was. He single-handedly stormed the Jedi temple and destroyed them all on the order from the chancellor and the support of many senators. The Jedi have been flagged as traitors to the Empire. A few still remain and remain safe due to the fact that they have now claimed to be advisors under certain senators. The Emperor had no choice but to allow it. The Jedi had surrendered and earned the sympathy of the people. To kill them would have caused issues that could be dealt with later. Many of the Jedi that remain are not powerful enough to be looked upon as threats, but there are two that when the time comes, they must be slain. The one Jedi was none other than Master Yoda himself, now advisor to Senator Bail Organa of Alderan. The other was Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, advisor of Senator Padme Amidala. The two senators of these so called 'advisors' had ongoing searches to link them to the rebellion. The former Jedi picked their senators well as both of them are loved among their people, especially Amidala. Amidala was young, pretty, and fought for her people no matter the cost. If it weren't for her obvious alliance to the rebellion her spirit was to be admired. That very same spirit could also be the end of her. He's heard of her annoying pleas for democracy to resume in the senate. Bail Organa was more subtle in his works but got the job done none the less.

"How good of you to finally join me Lord Vader." Sidious sneered as Vader kneeled before him. "I've got some news I'd like for you to investigate. It seems as though Senator Mirex has been found transmitting rebellion information."

"Did we find where the message was being transmitted to?" Vader mechanical voice filled the room.

"No. The idiot Paz stopped it before we could find out. He's already been taken care of." Sidious waved it off. "I want Mirex arrested and find out any information that she may have about the rebellion. I believe she might have been sending it to Senator Amidala but that can't be proven by the transmit itself. Use whatever means necessary to get this information. We will have to tread carefully if Amidala is concerned. She is loved among many people."

"It will be done my lord." Vader replied.

"I believe there is a meeting today. Maybe it's time for you to pay a visit to some senators in person. A little fear might do them good." Sidious grinned from underneath his cloak. Vader was rarely seen in the Coruscant, let alone in the presence of senators. Many have only heard of the terrors he's unleashed among people and have yet to meet him in person.

"Yes Master." Vader got up and left the room with a swish of his cloak. Even though he'd rather be out in the battlefield, an arrest in front of the rest would surely put fear in some of their hearts making it worth doing in person. Fear was what Vader loved and fed off of.

Two clones followed Vader quickly at his heals to the room where the senators should be meeting. He automatically sensed the presence of Obi-Wan Kenobi and was slightly hopeful this would be the day he'd make a move. Doubtful, but he could also hope. How any of them got away with claiming themselves as advisors was beyond him. Sidious was a fool for leaving any alive. Vader opened the door using the force and there sat about ten senators with wide eyes as they stared upon him. Some of them have never had the pleasure of meeting him in person and his tall, thick stature took many by surprise.

"Lord Vader, what do we owe this pleasure?" Mon Mothma bravely stood up. This red headed woman was one he'd definitely like to get rid of one of these days.

"In the name of the Galatic Empire, I believe Senator Mirex is under arrest for treason." The two clones jumped at this statement and hurried to each side of a now shaking brunette woman near the end of the long table.

"On what grounds may I ask milord?" A soft, yet surprisingly commanding tone came from behind Vader. Vader spun around to face a very petite woman standing at the table. She had dark brunette hair that was all piled up on her head in a strange braided bun. He presumed this to be the infamous Padme Amidala he's heard so much about. "She's done nothing wrong."

"Ahh and that's where you're wrong. The Empire intercepted a message being transmitted to what we believe to be the rebellion by none other than Mirex herself." Vader stated.

The tiny woman stepped away from the table and walked towards him. The confidence she had took him by surprise. He could sense her fear but she did a good job of hiding it. "It's a little odd the emperor had you make the arrest other than someone else. " She was smart. She knew he was here to catch bigger fish that Mirex. She was right, as Mirex was simply a pawn and nothing more. Sidious would never send Vader to make an arrest for someone as unimportant as Mirex and Amidala knew that. Vader glanced at the woman beside him who was now cuffed. She was shaking almost uncontrollably now, sweat trickling down her face. Pathetic, Vader thought to himself. He had always hated weakness in people. The woman had to of known she'd end up right where she is, just as Amidala should know she's next in line.

"With Mirex in our custody, she might be able to inform us who exactly she was sending this message to. She may even get a deal if she cooperates. You wouldn't happen to know anything about this would you, Senator Amidala I presume?" Vader grinned from inside his mask as he felt her fear escalate. She was quick to squash it down.

She forced a small smile on her face. "How rude of me as we have never had the pleasure to meet. I don't happen to know anything about this and I'm shocked just as the rest of us are."

"I assure you Lord Vader if we had known anything about this we would have put a stop to it ourselves." Bail Organa chimed in. Amidala's eyes were searching Mirex as if she were trying to apologize.

"You have our sincere apologies." The former Jedi took a step towards Amidala in a protective way. As if he thought the sith would slay her down right here. As much as Vader would like to do just that, it wasn't the time or the place for that.

"I will of course let you be the first to know if there is any more deception among us." Vader's mask moved to face Amidala. Her stone face didn't break once. Her stupidity was going to get the best of her and that Vader was sure of. As abruptly as Vader came, he was gone and out of the room with Mirex now at his heals along with the clones.

PADME

Padme let out an audible breath of air as Vader left. "Do you think she'll crack?" Mothma asked as everyone began to sit back down at the table.

"Vader isn't going to go easy on her as he already knows that message was meant to go to you." Obi-Wan looked at Padme. Padme's face had gone pale. Not out of fear of being caught but at the presence of Lord Vader. She had never met him and she hated that his mere presence could rattle her the way it did. She has faced near death situations time and time again and yet this man made those look like cake. She's heard of his methods of getting people to talk and the thought made her sick, as she knew the reason Mirex was going to endure his torture was because of her. "She knew what she was getting into." Obi-Wan put a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

"I know that but I still can't help feel like we all betrayed her." Padme sighed. "I was the one that asked her to send me that information right away."

"I'm just worried that she'll talk." Mothma said. "I mean if she does, there's a possibility he'll be here for you next Padme. We can't afford to lose you."

Padme shuttered at the thought "You won't lose me. The message was being sent to Lorgoh at the time. He'd trace it there and have to prove that I was even there in the first place to link me to that. They're starting to grasp at straws."

"I hope you're right Padme. It wasn't exactly the wisest of choice to use Mirex to get that information." Bail sighed "Palpatine will use whatever means necessary to even soil our name with the rebellion."

"We must talk about this another time." Mothma sat back in her chair. "Now we must do our jobs as normal and figure out details later."

They all nodded at sat down to continue their original meeting.
