A.N.- Hey guys! So I got this idea over Thanksgiving and I've never written for Star Wars despite the fact it's one of my favorite movie series. Anyway, keep in mind this is VERY AU although we do see many canon characters, some EU canon characters, and some OCs I've made up. Anyway, here we go! Review and enjoy!

Hung The Galaxy

Chapter 1

Springtime 7 ABY

Émilie

My hairstylist Nola, who lived with me and my family at our palace on the city planet Coruscant, was braiding my dark curls for today. I was dressed in gold dress robes fit for the springtime. "Oh Princess Em what I wouldn't give for your hair," Nola was saying as she styled it, "It's just like your mother's."

"I know," I said with a smile as I looked at my Holo-Phone. Even though I was only eight and a half I had to have a way to keep up with my friends but more importantly with my parents when they were away.

I bet you're asking yourself who I am and how I fit into this galaxy.

I'm Émilie Rose Palpatine and I am a Crown Princess as some of my Jedi friends like the Skywalker family calls me. I was born a year prior to a big galactic battle I can't remember the name of right now. But now there is no Empire and everybody gets along okay, I guess. Anyway, I have curly hair that's dark like my mother Niobi's but other than that everybody tells me that I have the facial features of my father, the Supreme Chancellor.

As I was looking at a recent picture of Mama and Dada and I, Dada himself came in and put his hands on my shoulders. "I thought you had gone already," I said.

"I had a call but I got to hang up early," he said and kissed my cheek like he did a lot, "Did you think I could forget?"

"Is she going to work with you again today, Chancellor?" Nola asked as she finished my braid.

"Of course," Dada said as he picked me up into his arms despite the fact I was perfectly able to walk.

Padmé

I was sitting out in the veranda of my apartment as our protocol droid C-3PO brought my morning coffee. Luke and Leia were still asleep as was Anakin so I had a few minutes to myself, which was nice for a change. I sat in my red dressing gown and looked out over the vast upper level of the city thinking about what I needed to do for today when Anakin stumbled in, still hooked to his little oxygen tank that surfaced air out of his damaged lungs.

"Morning angel," he kissed me, "are you the only one up?" he asked as I disconnected him from the machine. In the day he seemed to be able to breathe fine on his own but the med droids and Palpatine knew that at night he couldn't because he would be asleep and not thinking about it so we had the machine breath for him.

"Not anymore," my son Luke and his twin sister Leia came to sit with us, "Did I miss coffee?" Luke asked.

"Hey 3-PO be an Ewok and get us three more cups of coffee," Ani called to the droid, "thanks."

"So what're you guys all up to today?" Leia wondered, "I might be going to see Bail and Breha for a few days if that's okay. They invited me to New Alderaan for the weekend. Bail's sister Tia is having a baby shower or something."

"Do you need a skiff to take?" I asked ready to offer my former royal starship.

"No, the Tantive IV might pick me up or Bail might have another one of the family ships come get me."

"When will you be back?" Ani asked our daughter.

"A few days."

"I'll miss you, Leia," he told her sincerely. Leia rolled her eyes at first but then smiled. After all the shit they had been through years ago Ani seemed to really want to be closer to Leia because he never really got to know her.

"I guess if you'll behave you can come if you want," she said.

Niobi

I was standing in the halls of the Senate dressed in a simple yellow dress robes and yellow blossoms all through my hair. I was standing in for Senator Amidala until she got here or one of her handmaidens did but by now I suppose anybody could tell the difference between us as I had softer facial features despite us having similar hair colors, styles, and eye colors.

As I was standing in the hall I spotted a Muun standing in the shadows. I walked over casually, "You know Plagueis if you wanted to spite Palpatine you could do so discretely."

"No," the Sith said, "its much more fun to do it to his face. It's a Master-Apprentice type deal." I just shrugged; Sith Lords confused me but then again the whole Force confused me so I guess that was a given. As I was musing I saw Palpatine enter the hall with our daughter on his shoulders,

I had Émilie in secret after I had volunteered to be a part of an experiment to use the Force to create life from nothing. Being skeptical of such a feat and also kind of interested too led me to volunteer myself in either a move of bravery or stupidity I suppose. Nine months later I had Em on my home planet Bordal and raised her until the fall of the Empire and the reinstating of the Republic. Since I had known her father was native to Naboo when naming her I had followed a trend of using names that are accented.

But in the end we ended up just calling her Em and one thing was certain: she hung the galaxy if you will for the most powerful Sith ever.

Palpatine/Sidious

I rolled my eyes as they set upon Plagueis. I had Em in my arms so I couldn't do much other than that at my former Master. "You've got an eleven o'clock with Luke Skywalker," Niobi told me as we walked into my scarlet painted office. "He is coming on Anakin's behalf."

I sat in my chair and must have failed to notice the Jedi clothed in the tan of a farmhand. "I was going to make a second Death Star joke," Luke said as he got up and sat down, "but I don't know if you'd appreciate it like Anakin does."

"Anakin appreciates that?"

"Until he doesn't," Luke said, "he's a sensitive one. Padmé and I were talking about it last night while he was hanging with Ferus. Anyway, Anakin wants to go to New Alderaan with Leia and he wanted me to ask you if he was okay to go."

"There's plenty of oxygen there," I said as I put Em down and she looked out the window as speeders zipped by. "As long as Anakin isn't a complete idiot he'll be fine. Does Leia know how to work the machine?"

"Yeah, Padmé taught us. I'll go tell Anakin. And no promises he won't be an idiot," he said and we nodded and Luke dismissed himself leaving me with just Em, Niobi, and my former Master.

"Dada?" Em turned and I saw my eyes in hers.

"Yes Bijou?" In old Nabooan culture a Bijou was a word used for jewel and to me Em mine; she and her mother both were.

"When can we go back to the Lake Country?" she asked.

"Would tomorrow be too soon Bijou?" I asked, "We can leave tomorrow morning."

"Yes, because there's not a whole galaxy to hold together or anything," Plagueis muttered to me, "Sidious you're an idiot."

"We will leave tomorrow Bijou. You, me, and Mama."

Em

Dada had me sit on his knee as I looked at my Holo-Phone pictures some more, looking at the ones of the lake as he gave me one of the shots that stop my early bleeding I had.

Dada was a very trained med-tech, and he never let any of the surgical droids take care of me whenever I was sick because he said they couldn't sense the Force that lived in me like he could. He can even use the Force to calm me about these things.

I remember Mama had said that this was best for me and she had asked Dada to administer them. I never cried or anything because when I was linked to the Force via Dada's hand on my forehead and him singing soft Naboo songs for me and Plagueis, another Sith named Bane, or sometime Anakin holding my hand when Dada could not. "There we are Bijou," he said as I was brought out of it.

"Why are Sith good healers?" I asked.

"Through the Force Bijou, so we can heal those we care about so they won't be hurt anymore," he said.

Siri Kenobi

The Jedi Council had just adjourned so I walked beside Obi-Wan as we went back to the lobby of the Jedi Temple. As we walked, my former Padawan Ferus Olin caught up to us, "You guys seen Anakin?"

"Please don't tell me you guys plan on crawling around in the air system again," Obi-Wan said disapprovingly.

"No. I wanted to ask if he wanted to help me build something," huh that was a nice change from the usual where Ferus and Anakin got into mischief.

"Ask Luke," I suggested.

"No, he's gone to be with Leia on a trip somewhere. New Alderaan I think," Obi-Wan said. I must have missed that.

"Thanks," I gave my former apprentice a high five as he went off to do whatever.

"Ten Credits that's not what they're planning," I bet my husband.

"I wouldn't be foolish enough to take that bet," he laughed in that distinguishable accent and I smiled.

And? What do you guys think?
