Luke Skywalker was currently on his way to the planet Naboo at his sister Leia's insistence, though what was so important that he had to go all the way out to Naboo was beyond him, since Leia was on Naboo for a simple mission of retrieving a gungan youngling that both its parents and the New Jedi Council felt was reaching the age to come to the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin IV for training and since Leia had been on Naboo anyways for Republic business, Luke had asked her to make the retrieval.

"Luke, you almost here?" Leia asked him as a holo transmission from her came in.

"Yeah, we're almost out of hyperspace, though I still don't understand why I need to come to Naboo. You're more than capable of making retrieval." Luke said.

"Luke, this isn't about the Jedi, this is about our family." Leia said.

"Excuse me?" Luke asked.

"You know how we thought that we were last the members of our family before we started our own families?" Leia asked.

"Yes, our mother died shortly after we were born and I watched our father die right in front of me." Luke said.

"Well, it turns out we were wrong. While I was here on Naboo, I was contacted by the queen who informed me that while the soldiers were tracking some remaining imperial holdouts through Gungan mud lands, they discovered a secret underground laboratory that appears to date back to the clone wars." Leia said.

"Okay, so?" Luke asked.

"Right, so, inside the laboratory, they found medical equipment and what looked to be cryogenic stasis pod. They've confirmed that person inside is now alive and well and she's been transferred to the infirmary in the royal palace and the doctors are preparing to revive her." Leia said.

"Her? Who?" Luke asked.

"Padme Amidala. Our mother." Leia said.

"Leia, are you certain?" Luke asked.

"Positive. I told them to wait to wake her up until you and Mon get here, since Mon is a familiar face and considering everyone else our mother knew before she was put into stasis is either dead or in prison, and us, because I think it's only right if both of mom's children are present before they wake her up." Leia said.

"I'll tell Artoo to increase our speed. We'll be there as soon as possible. I also need to inform the temple to prepare a chamber for mother, since I think that at least until she's reacclimated to the rest of the galaxy, it would be best if she remained close to us." Luke said.

"Agreed. See you soon." Leia said as the transmission ended.

"Artoo, take us to maximum speed, our reason for arriving on Naboo just became even more important." Luke said to his faithful astromech, who beeped affirmative before Luke felt the engines of the ship speed up.


When Luke did arrive on Naboo, he and Artoo quickly grabbed a speeder to the palace, since Luke did not want to waste anymore time than necessary.

When he did arrive at the palace, Luke found Queen Jamalia, Captain Typho and a gungan that Luke was not familiar with, waiting for him.

"Welcome back to Naboo Master Jedi." Jamalia said as she and Luke bowed to each other.

"It's good to be back your majesty. Leia has informed me of the situation. Has chancellor Mothma arrived yet?" Luke asked.

"She arrived shortly before you did and is waiting with your sister." Captain Typho said.

"Thank you Captain. And who might you be?" Luke asked the gungan.

"Mesa jar jar binks and me was a palos of padme amidala." the Gungan said.

"Is that true?" Luke asked Captain Typho, since he knew that the man had been his mother's head of security back during the days of the old Republic.

"Yes, Representative Binks here served on the senate with your mother and he was good friends with both her and your father. We thought it would be best to have a few old faces present when we woke Senator Amidala up." Typho assured him.

"Okay then, let's go." Luke said.


Padme blinked at the bright light she saw as she opened her eyes to see that she was in the infirmary of the Naboo royal palace. But that didn't make any sense. The last thing she remembered was being on Mustafar with Anakin and Obi-Wan. Then she remembered being on Polis Massa, but that was it. She had no idea how she got back to Naboo.

"How are you feeling old friend?" a familiar voice asked and Padme looked to her side to see Mon Mothma enter the room.

"Confused more than anything else. Mon, what's going on here? How did I get back to Naboo? What happened to my children?" Padme asked, her thoughts now went to her children.

"Your children are safe Padme, I promise you will get to see them shortly, but first, you need to hear the answer to your first questions without interrupting me. Can you do that?" Mon asked and Padme nodded.

"Padme, after Anakin attacked you on Mustafar and you gave birth to your children, the medics on the station feared for your life, so at the last minute, they put you in a specially designed stasis pod to allow your body to heal while they tried to determine the cause of your death. The entire galaxy was led to believe that you were dead for your own safety." Mon said.

"How long was I asleep?" Padme asked, dreading the answer.

"32 years." Mon said.

"What? Is that why you look older?" Padme asked and Mon chuckled and nodded.

"Yes Padme. We only found you a few days ago in old lab in the gungan swamps." Mon said.

"What happened to Luke and Leia?" Padme asked.

"They're all grown up now and they're actually waiting for you outside. If you want, I can have them brought in." Mon offered and Padme nodded, since she didn't want to waste another moment.
