Attack of the Clones

Work Text:

The years passed by, and now ten
On they return again to Coruscant
To see the queen from way back when
They were both younger, more innocent,
But now how they are both grown
Past the world they have known
To be cruel and horrible insight
Now, in the dead of night
The assassin attempts another.

She had grown more beautiful everyday
In absence while you trained
Now listen to what Master will say
Know your path and be restrained.
Follow his lead out the window
But come back to eyes of doe
Stop the one who tried to smother.

Track her down with hasten speed
Yet the chase will end quite abrupt
You’ll show off like there was need.
“The chancellor doesn’t seem corrupt”
Sometimes pride has to be let go of
Do what is expected, duty over love.
(The nightmares bring images of mother).

Council says the senator isn’t safe here
The young apprentice can be her protector
Take her away until the coast is clear
She will not refuse an executive order.
He says he’s grown but yells like a child
Looks at her with eyes clear yet wild.
She’ll say, don’t look at me like that.

Together they leave, suddenly afraid
Don’t worry we have R2 with us.
Goodbye to Master and the rules they bade
They’ll leave and travel without a fuss.
I thought they forbade you to love
Obi lost a planet high above
The need of the republic is where you’re at.

Sand is coarse and gets everywhere.
I would very much like to meet this Jango Fett
Bubbling emotions betray how you care
This Naboo romance is what you get.
Much too frightened to tease a senator
Against orders you decide to get her.
Floating pears as we idylly chat.

A hidden planet in the rain,
And across in the blazing sand
There’s is so much to lose or gain
Depending on the matter at hand.
Like animals you did slaughter
When your mother burned hotter,
Why did she have to die you scream.

One day I will be the most powerful Jedi
And I will even stop people from dying
A Jedi should be better and I’ll try
But like a human you just cry and cry.
Swept up in the anger and hate
Only thoughts of how it’s too late
Yet for your Master you’ll scheme.

Attempt leads to a death sentence;
Dooku leads now from the dark.
Then Jedi make their grand entrance,
Droids and clones all make their mark.
She would want you to know your station.
Begun, the clone wars have: declaration.
In Naboo, marry hidden like a dream.
