"No. I haven't seen anything here that would even warrant that...it's strange here, absolutely, but strange isn't enough to hide a place. It'd have to be some secret thing that even I don't know about."

"Perhaps, some wormhole or other that was overlooked or just recently torn open? But I think that would be impossible. I'd usually feel some sort of tremor in the Force."
He looked down at his gloved hand.
"Maybe I'm just losing my touch. No pun intended."

"Oh, don't." She said, taking his hand.
"I doubt you'd lose your connection. Someone as strong in it as Obi-Wan says wouldn't just suddenly lose it."
She walked over to the night stand, intending to pick up her hairpins as her long had kept falling in her face and she wanted to pin it back. She'd just started to reach out for them when they fell off the night stand and plinked on the floor.
"What...?"

"What--" he repeated, eyes opening wide in either bewilderment or amazement, he knew not. "What did you do?"

She stared at the hairpins on the floor for a moment. Briefly, very briefly, there'd been a surge of...something, inside. It'd risen up like a tide and then just as quickly pulled away. Shaking her head, she picked up the pins.
"Nothing. I must have knocked them down by accident."

He gently held out an arm to stop her.
"Wait, just leave them. Try doing it again."

She set the pins down on the night stand, then glanced over at her husband.
"I just...reached over to pick them up..."
Moving her hand the same way she had before, she moved to retrieve the pins. They didn't fall down this time, but the small pile rattled for a moment before her hand touched them.

"Impossible," he breathed. He looked at his wife and shook his head. "Not impossible--amazing. Has this happened before?"

She stared at her hand a moment, as though it belonged to someone else.
"No. Not until...I came here."
She glanced up at him.
"I don't know how to describe it. I felt this...this wave rise up within and...it seemed to flow out from me."
Inwardly she cringed at the words, but she was having a hard time articulating the feeling at all. How did you tell someone about something you had no frame of reference for?

Her words were familiar ones. He'd uttered something like them years ago to his mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi and his mentor Qui-Gon Jinn. Back when he was a little boy of little more than nine years of age. Even then, he'd been informed he was too old for training professionally in the Force, and it'd taken much persuasion before the Academy finally consented to take him in.
But displaying such powerful signs at his wife's age? He'd never heard of it before.
"I always knew you were strong with the Force," he replied. "But not this strong. Are you quite sure this is the first time this has happened to you?"

"The Force?" She almost spluttered, but managed to marshall her reaction a bit.
"No, it hasn't, and I couldn't possibly. I'm just a senator from Naboo, a former Queen, I'm not..."
Her eyes traveled over her husband's form, sweeping over the details of his Jedi robes.
"Not like you."

"Why not? The power of the Force isn't limited to the Jedi, contrary to popular belief. There are people out there who are strong with it but don't understand it and don't know what it is. Maybe you've been one of them...until now."
He caressed her face.
"To think, you might have been a Jedi, too. Imagine yourself with a lightsaber," he jested, attempting to lighten the atmosphere.

(( i44.tinypic.com/2eycadt.jpg ;D )) She sighed. "No, you're right. It's just...not something I ever would have thought of for myself. I never had dreams of dueling with lightsabers or literally having power over what's around me. I always imagined saving the galaxy in a different way." She laughed at the light saber comment. "Hmm, hmm...doing those fancy moves like twirling it around. How do you do that without zapping furniture by accident?" She asked, eyes twinkling.

((LOL WERK DAT LIGHTSABER GURL))
"Believe me, this is a more entertaining way of saving the galaxy," he laughed. He passed his hand over his wife's hairpins and they, one by one, hovered into the air and remained there, levitating. He twiddled his fingers and they returned to their previous position on the nightstand. "And the lightsaber's actually quite easy to pick up. Do you want me to teach you?"

He made use of the Force seem so effortless, though she knew he'd come by the ease through training. A small smile played about her lips.
"So I can aggressively negotiate the way you do?"
