AOTC: Padmé Amidala: Wedding
From Create Your Own Story
Padmé: This isn’t allowed… but I don’t care. I want this. I want you. Anakin: I’ve faced death a hundred times. But standing here with you… I feel alive. Padmé: Then let’s be alive. Just you and me. No more war. No more hiding. Anakin: No more lies. Only us. Priest: By Naboo’s waters, with stars above, I bind your hearts. You are now one. [They kiss. The lake reflects the last light of the sun.]
(Later that night, inside their private room. The light is soft. A gentle breeze passes through the curtains.)
Padmé: You should rest. It's been a long day. Anakin: Not tired… not when I’m with you. Padmé: Just one drink. For peace. For us. Anakin: I love you. [He drinks slowly. After a few moments, his eyes grow heavy.]
Anakin: Padmé… what’s in this…? Padmé (softly): Sleep. Please… just sleep.
[He collapses gently into her arms. She lays him down, brushing his hair back as he slips into unconsciousness.]
