Blue Waters: episode #30 The Proposal and a Request from the Supreme Chancellor
Previously: Anakin took Samantha to the dance. They share more romantic moments together. A month later, Bantha Stephanie and Darth Sidious were married. A month after that Marion tells Rhun that she�s pregnant. A month later Bantha Stephanie gets pregnant. Another month passes and it is now February. Prunella, Mr. Idiot�s lover, finds out she�s pregnant at the same time that Minka does. A month after that, Anakin goes to Samantha�s parents to talk to them about something.
�I know all that, but can you get him for me? It�s important.� She says, �I�ll try, but there�s no guarantee that he�ll be willing to talk to you.� �Thanks,� Anakin says as Samantha goes inside to talk to her father. A couple minutes later Tim Jedi comes out led by his daughter. Anakin says, �Can I talk to your father alone?� �I guess so, but if you ask me, this isn�t good idea.� �Thanks.� Samantha leaves leaving Tim and Anakin together. �What is this about,� Tim demands. Anakin says, �Well, it�s about your daughter.� �I thought I made it clear to you that I wanted you to stay away from my daughter, and that�s an order!� �In that case, I�m going to have to go against it. I love her�and I would like to marry her�with your consent of course.� Tim says, �Well you won�t get it.� Anakin says, �I�m going to purpose to her, and if she doesn�t want to accept it, fine, but I�m guessing she will. It�s her decision.� �You can purpose to her, but she can�t have a wedding without my help.� Anakin says, �Fine.� He leaves the room and takes Samantha�s arm in front of her father. Tim sighs. He�d seen them together before and knew that neither of them were doing what he had said. Anakin goes down on one knee and says, �Samantha, there is something I need to ask you right now. Our relationship has grown�and now I wish for more than just a relationship�I wish that you would become my wife and that we could share the rest of our lives together. Will you marry me?� She smiles and says, �I�ve been waiting for you to say those words for a long time. Of course I will!� Anakin gives her a ring. He notices she is wearing another kind of ring. She sees him looking at it and says, �Oh that�s my special Coruscant ring. It has the seal of Coruscant on it to show that I�m a member of the royal family of Coruscant. If I�m ever in any trouble where no one knows me, I can show it to him or her so that they can help me. I cannot lose it. It�s a form of Identification, an ID. It�s the only proof I have as to who I am.� �You need proof? You�d think that everyone would know.� �You�d be surprised.� �Do I get one when we get married?� he says in a kidding way. �Yes,� she says. They kiss again. Then Anakin looks at Samantha. �There is one other thing.� �What is it?� �We�re going to have to wait a while until your father approves a wedding.� She says, �I know that, but I can wait if you can.� �I�d wait a thousand years for you if I had to.� A month passes and Idiotic Idiot (Mr. Idiot) marries Mrs. Idiot. During the next month, on May 19th Arawn Corta rushes over to Darth Sidious� quarters. He says, �Have you heard the news�Anakin and the Queen are engaged.� Darth Sidious says, �So I�ve heard, which is precisely why I need to act on our plans now�Send in Tarkin.� An hour later, Anakin is walking down the streets of Coruscant. He needs to start training with Obi-Wan again�things have finally settled down to the point where Obi-Wan�s able to take on Anakin again. And that is what Anakin is doing now�he�s heading to a meeting point where Obi-Wan is to be waiting. But someone else is heading for Anakin. A man says, �excuse me sir, but the Supreme Chancellor has sent for you. He says it�s of utmost importance. He requires you right away. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine feels that your life may be in danger. His message is very urgent�for he feels that�someone may attempt to murder you.� Anakin is visibly shaken by this news. Someone out to kill him? Who? It had to be the Sith. Yoda had warned him. �All right, I�ll be there right away.� Anakin and this man head over to Palpatine�s chambers together.
Until next time!
