coruscant
Just As the sunset begins to shine a bright
orange and reddish hue throughout their big
spacious apartment that sits at the very top and
has an incredible view of Coruscant and the Jedi
Temple , and just as Anakin whose in their living
room can be heard snoring on the couch the
doorbell begins to ring.
Reva, whose putting the finishing touches on
dinner already knows without a doubt that it’s
more then likely an angry Obi Wan Kenobi whose
coming over to argue and berate her husband for
something he did or didn’t do that the veteran
Jedi Master didn’t like on their mission earlier.
At least that’s all Reva can guess given how
earlier a quite and clearly irritable Anakin refused
to talk to her about what happened on the
mission that took him away from her and their
home for three days.
Except for him kissing her after he got home and
some mumbled incoherent responses when she
asked him about the planet and the mission him
and Kenobi were on, Anakin was pretty much
distant , withdrawn and clearly trying to not let his
bad mood affect her.
After quickly taking out the dinner rolls to let them
cool, Reva who has her hair tied up in a neat bun
and has a long flowy pink and white floral dress
on begins to quickly make her way out the kitchen
and to the front door all while passing Anakin
whose still sound asleep on the couch with his
hand over his eyes and his long blond hair looking
more like a reddish tint thanks to the hue from the
sunset.
“Good evening Reva, it’s lovely to see you..”
“If you don’t mind, I need to speak with your husband..”
“Excuse me Master Kenobi, no offense but I think you need to come back tomorrow or wait to see him at the Temple..”
“Reva..
Reva puts her hand up to silence Kenobi
“With all do respect, I don’t know exactly what happened between you two out there on this mission, but what I do know is that Anakin came home upset and tired…”
“Both you and the council said you would do everything possible to make sure that what almost happened last time to him 14 years ago wouldn’t happen again…”
“So I fail to see how you think that coming over here to berate him some more after a mission that clearly didn’t go as smoothly as planned is a good idea right now…”Reva says as she crosses her arms in an unwavering stance
Kenobi sighs and begins to nod his head as he
repositions his lightsaber that was starting to slip
off of his belt.
“Fine, but he needs to come and see me at least tomorrow at the temple before the council meeting…”
“I’ll let him know …” Reva says as she begins to reach for the button to close the door
Before the door can begin to slide back , Kenobi
quickly puts his hand on it to stop it from sliding
forward. Causing a now confused looking Reva to
look up at him questionably.
“Reva, I know you haven’t been my biggest fan , and I know it’s because you blame me for Anakin almost falling to the dark side and going with palpatine…”
“Please stop…”
“No, you need to hear this Reva and I need to say this…”
“You can blame me , yeah I might’ve lacked with noticing something was off or that Palpatine was beginning to try and turn Anakin but at the end of the day, it was Anakin who let himself go almost down that dark path..”
“He had all of the training , education and skills a Jedi Knight could possible have, He knew better…”
“Padme dying or not, he knew better then to ever listen to Palpatine and trust him..”
“And till the Jedi Council feels like they can go back to fully trusting him again, Anakin whether he likes it or not will be heavily monitored especially on missions or stuff that has to do with Jedi business…”
“Can I close the door now, I have dinner to finish…”
“Reva…”
“No, I hear you loud and clear..”
“But now hear me, I know I wasn’t Anakin’s wife back then fourteen years ago or involved in his life.. but I am now. And I’m going to stand by his side through and through , please give him some space and breathing room…”
As Kenobi begins to sigh and nod again, Reva
begins to hear movement behind her in the
direction of the living room.
“Fine, I can see what I can do about lifting some of Anakin’s restrictions when I talk to Master Yoda and the council tomorrow..”
“I hope you two have a good dinner, good night Reva…” Kenobi says as he finally takes his hand off of the door
“Thank you Master Kenobi…”
Without further word , Reva closes the door and
begins making her way back to the kitchen.
Just as she’s about to pass the wide and
spacious living room, Anakin who was listening to
her and Kenobi’s conversation the whole time
clears his throat as he begins to get up off of the
couch. Instantly making Reva stop in the middle
of the room with wide eyes as speeders can be
heard flying by.
“Oh..hmm, I didn’t mean to wake you or for you to hear any of that…”
“You didn’t wake me baby, and I’m glad I did hear everything I just heard…I’m glad to know that I have a woman by my side for the first time in my life that actually is truly standing with me..”
“And I’m sorry I made you worry and was distant when I came home earlier.. I’ve missed so much my love, you look beautiful as always..” Anakin says as he wraps his arms around Reva’s waist and begins to leaned down for a kiss
“Dinner smells wonderful, I’m going to go ahead and wash up real quick in the refresher and I’ll be right back my love…”
After kissing Reva one last time and giving a
gentle squeeze to her waist Anakin begins to
make his way towards their master bedroom.
Reva is speechless and doesn’t know exactly how
to feel about Anakin basically claiming her as the
first woman that has truly stood by him.
As she walks back to the kitchen, Reva’s mind
goes straight to Padme who wasn’t just a senator
and a queen of Naboo in the republic but also
Anakin’s first wife.
Right after word of Padme’s death started
circulating around the galaxy 14 years ago, within
the temple walls rumors of Anakin having
something to do with it also started circulating.
Reva who was nothing but a 12 year old youngling
at the time and who was living at the temple and
was training to become a Jedi herself never really
believed the rumors , not even when her and her
friends once snuck into the Council room and
overheard Master Yoda telling the other members
of the council how Kenobi claimed that on the
planet of Mustafar Anakin choked Padme using
the force.
Though Reva never believed the rumors to be
true, and despite never knowing Padme
personally she always heard even before her
death how Padme seemed to always have
Anakin’s back and was a fierce supporter of him.
And after they got married three years ago , Reva
made a promise to herself that she would as his
second wife respect the memory of Padme even
where her being Anakin’s first wife is concerned.
Anakin claiming her as the first woman by his side
that’s actually and truly standing by him definitely
is making Reva uncomfortable, amongst other
emotions she can’t quit name right now.
As Reva finishes placing everything out onto the
long glass table in their dinning room that has the
same incredible view of Coruscant as the rest of
their luxurious apartment dose, she begins to
wonder if Anakin still has some unresolved anger
and resentment from that day he almost carried
out what would’ve been one of the worst
transgressions ever done to the Jedis , Jedi
council and to the Republic.
Flashbacks of that evening at the temple from
fourteen years ago begin to rush through Reva’s
mind like a flood …
her training as a youngling with her friends in their final class of the day..
Her and her friends and their Jedi teacher then beginning to hear blasters going off , lightsabers being wielded and screaming outside the doors of their training room…
Them somehow managing to escape out the room as clone troopers began to storm in with blasters
Them then running throughout the temple until they reached the exit all while watching teachers, Jedi masters and fellow younglings they’ve come to know and love be slaughtered by the same clone troops they were taught to trust
Then the moment they thought they were finally getting out of this nightmare, the exit came into view just as quickly as Anakin and the dozens more troops that was accompanying him did..
A clearly changed Anakin , with his blue lightsaber drawn at his side and his dark Jedi robes swaying at his sides came to a complete stop in front of Reva and her group…
Reva who was standing in the front of the group and was close enough to Anakin that she could’ve reached out and touched his robes, began to lock eyes with him….
Immediately she could see the misplaced rage, hatred and confusion in him that seemed so unlike the Jedi knight her and her friends came to know and admire and would see in passing in the halls at the temple….
Sheer fear and terror quickly moves in her as they continue to lock eyes as the loud screams and chaos that can be heard all over the temple seems to get worse…
Just as Anakin’s brows begin to furrow as if he’s thinking about something , Reva’s vision begins to blur and soon her entire vision blackens as she passes out, with the cold floor beneath her being the last thing she felt…
Two days later….
Reva wakes up in a bed in the infirmary at what looks to be another temple on another planet, with her friends around her bed..
Telling her about Sheev Palpatine’s capture and arrest,
Anakin at the last minute deciding to not go through with order 66 and turning himself in
and the death of Senator and queen of Naboo’s death
A week later ..
Reva’s sitting up in her new room at the Jedi Temple they’ve all been relocated to while the one on Coruscant is being repaired, when a knock is heard on her door..
Opening it there’s nothing but a bouquet of pink roses in a glass vase with a white card attached to it that’s on the floor in front of her door..
Card reading..” I’m so sorry…. I think I will have years of apologizing to do, but I thought it was only appropriate to start first with you. Glad to hear that you and your friends are well..”
Despite no signature being left at the end , Reva immediately knew who the sender was and also knew better then to let anyone know …
For several months and years till Reva got ready to graduate from the Jedi Temple, her and Anakin corresponded regularly…
A friendship soon followed, with Reva’s first correspondence to him being a black rose with a handwritten card that read…
“I can’t even begin to imagine the depths of your loss and grief, as I’ve never lost someone I’ve shared just incredible love , affection and passion for yet.. but I do want to send by deepest condolences to you.
Sincerely, Reva
Gifts soon followed, with Anakin sending her a snow globe that had a replica and likeness of the Milky Way in it instead of snow for her 13th birthday…
A new purple lightsaber for her 14th birthday after he found out about her favorite color being purple..
From her, and probably one of his most favorite gifts from her … a portrait of his mother Shmi Skywalker dressed in beautiful pink robes with flowers standing on a hill that Reva had made herself at 17 after looking up on a hologram of what his mother looked like..
Which prompted Anakin , after his probationary period was finally up and his Jedi knight title was finally but reluctantly restored to him with of course restrictions , he payed her a visit at her courters at the temple on Coruscant..
It had been an unbelievable hot day on Coruscant, they had only two more weeks until graduation .. she had sense parted ways with her friends who left to go have a day out shopping and exploring outside the temple..
After bathing and leaving the refresher, Reva is immediately met with the sight of a slightly older Anakin , who has his long blonde hair pushed back and is draped in light brown robes..
This was the first time in a long time she shared psychically space with him since that fateful night , and the first time ever she heard him verbally say her name or address her…
That day ended with him giving her a necklace that used to be his mother’s , him taking her out for a ride on his new speeder and taking her out somewhere no one would recognize them for dinner..
After sneaking back to her dorm at the Jedi temple , Reva just knew she was setting herself up for disappointment, because clearly her new developing feelings for Anakin would never be shared with him..
As far as she knew, Anakin’s heart belonged to one woman and to one woman only , and that being Padmé Amidala….
Or so Reva thought….
Reva’s mind is immediately interrupted out of the
flashbacks of her and Anakin’s past and is
brought back to the present when a set of strong
familiar hands wraps around her waist and pulls
her back into a familiar and toned chest.
“What are you thinking about my love”
“About You , me and the past that brought us exactly where we are today.. together” Reva responds while absentmindedly toying with Anakin’s mother’s Pearl drop necklace that’s around her neck that matches her pearl and diamond engagement ring
“C’mere …” Anakin says as he turns Reva around in his arms to face him
“You know , that you don’t ever have to worry about me going to the dark side again…”
“I know , but everyone else is worried that you will, especially the council and Kenobi himself..”
“I don’t care what they think baby, I’ve done all the probation and the rehabilitation a Jedi could possibly go through.. I’ve done my time. I only care what you think….”
“Well , I think you’ve made incredible progress honey, you’ve proved enough to them that should have by now showed them you’re no longer a threat…”
“Thank you baby..” Anakin says as he leans down and captures Reva’s lips in a kiss
“Well , we both will have to go in tomorrow to the Jedi Temple.. you to teach your meditation class and me for Kenobi and the Council meeting…” Anakin says after they pulled away after the kiss
“Oh god, don’t remind me. I love teaching at the temple but I don’t like whenever I’m passing Kenobi in the halls and he’s looking at me like I have three heads…”
“Like he did earlier while at our door…”
Anakin begins to laugh
“Oh baby, he’s looking at you like that because of me, probably wondering why on earth you agreed to marry me .. just like the rest of the council is”
“Their thinking…. “Now why would a pretty, intelligent and talented little thing like that want to marry the Jedi knight that was so weak he almost fell away to the dark side…” Anakin says in his best impression of Kenobi’s voice
This makes Reva begin to giggle none stop as she
throws her head back while still in Anakin’s arms
as fireworks can be seen and heard in the
distance going off in preparation for “Republic
Day “
“Hey babygirl, what would you like to do on Republic day.. which will be in two days” Anakin ask as Reva begins to finally calm down
“I don’t know, but as long as I get to spend it with just you anything would sound nice…”
“Okay, then how about we go to the planet of Scarif , it’s know for its tropical elements… but please no sand of beach..”
“We can do whatever on or around the resort there, just nothing on sand..” Anakin says as he uses his mechanical hand to wag his finger
Reva begins to laugh at the fact Anakin is still
bothered by sand , even after all this time but
nods in agreement anyway.
“It’ll be like the honeymoon we never got to have..”
“That sounds perfect to me , now we better get to eating dinner before the food goes too cold…”
“Yes ma'am..”
The rest of the evening and night , Anakin and
Reva spend enjoying dinner together, watching a
movie that came out over 4,000 years ago called
“Sweet Home Alabama” with Reva enjoying it
and .. well Anakin not really understanding what
the movie was even about and criticizing the way
humans looked and lived back then (Typical
Anakin there!) and them eventually falling asleep
in their king size bed and in each others arms
after an hour’s long love making session, in the
bright moonlight that shone brightly through their
bedroom.
