I'm not George Lucas or anything just so you know and my story is completely AU. P.S her name is Maé and is said as May.

Chapter 1

Maé opened her blue eyes after a long nights rest. She glanced quickly at the clock at her bedside table and jumped out of bed. Oh no, she was soooo in trouble. It was 08:00; Sabé was going to kill her! She had to be in the main throne room by 08:30 always if she ever wanted to be a handmaiden. She quickly got washed, did her hair and threw the red robe over herself. True she looked like a handmaiden to Queen Sabrina, but she was truly only a lowly trainee. Not for long, she reminded herself. Today was the day she would be granted the Authority to call herself the Queen's handmaiden. And also today was the day the Emperor would be coming with his apprentice Lord Vader. Sabé's voice broke her out of her thoughts. "Maé are you ready!?" "Coming now Sabé!!!!!!!!!!!!" Maé ran out the room and nearly collided into Rabé. "You better hurry. He's coming in an hour and Queen Sabrina wishes to talk with you before his arrival." Rabé advised Maé. By he, she means the Emperor, Mae thought to herself. "Thanks Rabé!" Mae jumped down the stairs and looked up and came face to face with Sabé. "Are you ready? Then lets go" Sabé commanded to Maé.

Lord Vader strolled down his ship the Executor to the launch bay and entered his 3 winged shuttle to go to the Emperor's private star destroyer. His thoughts rested on the mission ahead. He had to go to Naboo with his master and seek out a suspected Rebel group with maintaining the cover of coming to Naboo to assist in sorting out a dispute between Naboo and a neighbouring planet called Xaious. There had been trouble about trading tax between the two recently and the newly elected Queen has asked for Imperial assistance. This was quite an unusual move for Naboo. Usually Naboo would not involve itself with the Empire and claimed itself neutral but as the situation has worsened they had grown more desperate. Lord Vader got off his shuttle aster they had landed to go to his masters chambers to prepare for the arrival.
