It was the next day and Athena and Anakin were walking to the girls house.

" We're here........this is my house " Athena smiled as she, R2 and Anakin walked up to a staircase.

" Ryoo, Pooja "Athena exclaimed with a smile as two girls run up to Athena and hugged her, Anakin watched with a smile, the girls kissed Athena's cheek before running up to R2.

Athena then grabbed Anakin's hand and pulled him up the stairs, when they entered she put up her coat before walking into the dining area to see her sister.

" Athena " Sola smiled as the two hugged each other.

" Anakin, this is my older sister Sola " Athena smiled wildly as another woman entered with a plate in hand.

" Hello, Anakin " Sola greeted.

" Hello " Anakin greeted back.

" And this is my mother " Athena said gesturing to the woman.

" Hello, you made it just in time for dinner " Athena's mother said as Athena sat down " I hope your hungry, Anakin ".

Athena walked over to a chair and was about to pull it out but Anakin quickly did for her.

" What a gentleman " Sola teased as she sat down making Athena give her a glare.

" A little " Anakin smiled as he sat down next to Athena.

" He's being polite Mama, we're starving " Athena said.

" Well, you've come to the right place at the right time " Athena's father smiled.

" Honey, it's so good to see you safe " Athena's mother said " We were so worried ".

" Dear " Athena's father warned.

" I know, I know....but I had to say it, but now it's done " Athena's mother said.

Athena's father looked at Anakin, who smiled.

" Did you know Anakin, you're the first boyfriend that my sister has brought home " Sola said with a teasing smile.

" He's not my boyfriend.........Anakin's a friend, we've know each other for years " Athena denied " He's a Jedi assigned by the senate to protect me ".

" A bodyguard? " Athena mother asked " Ohh Athena........they didn't tell us, it was that serious and why didn't Padmè tell us anything? ".

" I told her not to say anything, because It's not a big deal, I promise " Athena sighed " I'm not in any danger, Mama ".

" Is she? " Athena's father asked Anakin.

" Yes, umm........I'm afraid she is " Anakin said looking at Athena, who gave him an annoyed look.

⎯

After dinner Anakin and her father went to the gardens or talk while Athena, her mother and Sola packed up.

" Why haven't you told us about him? " Sola asked.

" What's there to talk about? " Athena said as she placed the plates on the counter before leaning against the kitchen counter next to the window " He's just a boy ".

" A boy? " Sola questioned " Have you seen the way he looks at you ".

" Sola, stop it " Athena sighed with annoyance.

" It's obvious, he has feelings for you " Sola said.

" Anakin and I are......friends " Athena said denying her sister statement " Our relationship is strictly professional ".

Athena looked at her mother, who smiled, Athena rolled her eyes before looking back out the window.

⎯

" So you still live at home " Anakin Said as he looked around Athena's bedroom.

Athena was packing some stuff to take to the safe house.

" I move around so much, I never really had a place of my own " Athena said as she grabbed some stuff from her draws and places them in her suitcase " Officially residences have no warmth.......I feel good here, I feel at home ".

" I never really had a home " Anakin said as he looked out the window " Home was always where my mom was ".

Anakin walked around to the hologram photos and laughed softly.

" Is this you? " Anakin asked.

" That was when I went with a relief group " Athena smiled as she walked over and stood next to him " Their sun was imploding and their planet was dying, I was helping relocate all the children " Athena points to something " See that little one, I'm holding his name is Maki-tolo " She grabs more clothes and puts them in her suitcase " which means sweetheart.......he was so full of life, they all were........they were never able to adapt to live off their native planet, they all died ".

" My first day as an apprentice legislator, notice the difference " Athena said as she pointed to another hologram, she then points at a hologram of herself and Padmè " And that was me and Padmè before we left to become Princess and Queen of Naboo " Athena smiled before walking back to her suitcase and zipped it up.

⎯

Athena, Anakin, R2, Sola and Athena's parents all now stood outside their house saying their fair wells.

" You be careful now, my Athena " her mother said as she stroked Athena's long auburn hair.

" I will, mama " Athena smiled sheepishly before hugging Sola.

Athena's father walked over to Anakin and shook his hand " You take care of my baby girl " Athena's father said.

" I will, sir " Anakin smiled.

Athena's father walked over to his youngest daughter and pulled her into his arms " You be safe, sweetheart " Athena's father said, stoking her hair after he pulled away.

" I will, papa " Athena smiled.

Athena smiled sadly once more before she, Anakin and R2 walked away.
