Padme

"I have lost my husband. I have had to give up my children to protect them. I have had to give up my identity, now I am a dead woman. I have lost my position in the senate. But I will not lose my freedom to two men who try to rule this galaxy. I refuse to be a slave under them. It is time to show them the power and will of the people. It is time to start a rebellion. Will you stand with me? Or will you give your freedom, identity, and children to these men?" I said again. I have given this speech so many times my maids say I say it in my sleep. I was doing what I was always good at, leading. Only this time it would be a rebellion. There was loud applause in the room she was speaking in. The war was beginning. "Where would we have our base m'lady?" A man asked. "Hoth. It's remote and it's cold. The empire would never suspect that planate for a base." A voice said. I spun around and saw the familiar face of Bail Organa. "Bail my friend it is nice to see a familiar face among all these young people. I'm finally feeling old." I said as I walked up to hug him. He reached out to hug me in return. "How's my daughter?" I whispered in his ear. "Do you want to meet her?" he asked softly. "Yes please." I said as if I could not say it fast enough. Bail laughed and led me to a living quarter. "Leia, sweet! I want you to meet someone." He shouted as he closed the door. Suddenly a beautiful young teen appeared. I was shocked how much she looked like I did, but had parts of Anakin in her. "Princess Leia it is nice to see you. How old are you now? Twelve right?" I asked looking at her. "Yes. Who are you how do you know my father?" She asked. "She truly is just like her mother was." I laughed. "I meet your father in the senate before the fall." I said. "Oh." She said. I walked up to her and knelt to look at her face to face. "I want you to take care of something for me, for safe keeping." I said. Slowly I took off my japor snippet and handed it to her. "Thank you. I'll keep it safe for you." She promised. "Thank youprincess." I smiled at my daughter "I need to go Bail. I have a rebellion to start." I said sarcastically with a sly smile. I got up and went to my rooms. "R4 set up a link with obi wan Kenobi, on Tatooine." I ordered as I entered.

A small figure of obi wan appeared in frount of me. "Hello, Obi wan." I said. the figure smiled. "On your way to this dust bowl already, Padme?" Obi wan asked. "I want to see Luke again. And maybe you too while I'm there." I joked. "Wow you're in a good mood." He said.

"I just finished seeing Leia, My how she has grown. She's a lady now."

"Really?"

"Yes, actually she sounded like me when I was her age."

"You mean when you were queen?"

"Yes exactly. Oh by the way can you come and get me then?"

"Where?"

"outside the cantina. I'll be wearing a hooded robe. And a blue pants and tunic."

"Sounds great I'll head there a while."

"Okay I'll see you soon."

And with that we ended our communication. I flew the rest of the was talking nonsense to R4.
