Author's Notes:

1. I do not own SW or any of the official SW characters.

2. These letters should not be taken literally

3. This story is AU

4. I'm having co-writers write the part of Padme.

5. I'm borrowing the name Gwydion from the Prydain Chronicles, by Lloyd Alexander. This name was also used as a character for the computer game Kings Quest III. (I'm guessing that they borrowed the name from the same source). This is not a cross-over because I am only borrowing the character name, and not the character.

The author of these notes will be clearly labeled.

Timeframe: From the end of TPM through ROTJ

The quick background story of the Padme and Gwydion Notes-

The Naboo battle is now officially over, and Palpatine has been elected Supreme Chancellor of the Senate. Shortly after Padme was born, she was sent away to live with a family friend. The reason for this is because Ruwee and Jobal's other daughter had been kidnapped at a very young age. They wished to protect Padme from this same fate. In this story, Ruwee's family was descended from the royal family on Coruscant. A long time ago in the Republic's history, the royal family fled Coruscant and settled on Naboo. This information was kept from Padme her entire life until now.

Gwydion, who was adopted by Jobal and Ruwee, decides to contact Padme.

And the story begins...

Note 1:
Amidala,

Hello, sis. How is it going? It's your adopted brother here. I assume that your parents (my adoptive parents) came to see you to tell you the truth about your family history.

How does it feel to be the princess of the royal family? Padmé, that is your real name, our entire family was impressed with how you handled the entire Trade Federation problem. Please tell me how you ever managed that.

We were so happy that you were the Elected Queen of Naboo. As royal family you have no ruling powers.

Gwydion
