Chapter 1

Padme was having a great dream but it kept getting interrupted by Owen banging on my door every time he walked by my bedroom door.

" Damn it Owen." Padme said throwing off her covers and getting out of the bed.

Going to the door and throwing it open and looking down the very small hallway that leads out of the second level of the house.

But Owen was nowhere to be seen, but Padme had a feeling that she know where to find him, the kitchen.

Going back into her room Padme grabbed her robe before heading down to the lower level of the house, and sure enough she was right Owen was in the kitchen.

" What is your problem?" Padme said coming up beside him.

" What that... Damn Padme scare the crap out of me." Owen said backing away from the cooler.

" What is it with you and banging on my bedroom door and waking me up and damn the suns aren't even up yet." Padme said yawning as she grabbed a cup for her caf.

" Do you remember that father wanted us to go into Mos Espa today to get those parts for the vaporizers and I wanted to make sure that you are up and ready in about an hour." Owen said pouring the milk into the bowl of mush that he was going to eat for breakfast.

" Yes I do remember that and I still had twenty minutes before my alarm goes off." Padme said pouring the caf into the cup before adding some sweetener and creamer.

" Well I didn't know I'm so sorry your royal highness." Owen said as he gave her a small bow.

" Ok you two Owen leave your sister alone." Cliegg said coming into the kitchen.

" Morning daddy, would you like something to eat and some caf?" Padme asked putting her cup down on the counter.

" Morning sweetie no thanks, I'll just have some caf before getting ready for this morning, Owen I put the list of parts on the seat of the speeder so that you wont forget it, and can you two behave yourselves while your in town today." Cliegg said gaving Owen a stern look because he knows Owen likes to stray from what he has to do while they are in town.

" Yes sir I will get what you need at the junk shop, but why does Padme have to come with me?" Owen said as he looked at Padme.

" I have to go the market and get some food for the next couple of weeks or for the whole month depends on the stuff they have at the market. And don't worry I wont ruin your love life either." Padme said with a little laugh as she saw him blush some when she mention one of the reasons why he wanted to go by himself.

" That's not so much true I don't go there to pick up girls, then what about you and that guy at the junk shop." Owen said as he gave Padme this smug look.

" Yes it is and you know it and there is nothing going on between us, I just find him as a nice person that's all." Padme said fixing her breakfast before sitting down next to her father.

" Whatever I think that there is something going on between you too." Owen said before sticking the spoon back into his mouth.

" Ok that's enough, but really is there something going on between you and that boy at the shop?" Cliegg asked as he raised an eyebrow at Padme.

" No daddy there isn't anything going on between us, Owen is just making everything up, but you should be questioning him about a couple of girls that I have seen him hanging out with." Padme said before putting a spoonful of cereal into her mouth.

" Oh really, so Owen why don't you bring some of these young ladies to the house?" Cliegg said as Owen almost choked on his breakfast.

" Um... I don't think these type of girls you don't want here daddy." Padme said as Owen turned to her and gave her very dirty look.

" Well then I guess next time when you go to town I'll go with you so that way I can check out these girls that Owen has been hanging out with." Cliegg said with a laugh as they just embarrassed Owen even more.

" Well if you guys are done here then I think I better get ready to go." Owen said as he got from the table and headed for his room.

" Man can you say touchy, are you sure you don't want to come with us?" Padme said watching her father sit there and drink his caf.

" Yes I'm sure about not coming with you guys this time around, I have a couple of things that I have to get done before it gets really hot, but thanks for your concern Padme." Cliegg said as he took a hold of Padme's hand and gave it a small squeeze.

" Ok, but you know that I'm worry about you that's all, I really would like for you to have a relationship with some lady it doesn't matter who, just as long as she can make you happy that's all I want for you daddy your happiness." Padme said finishing up her breakfast and getting up and giving Cliegg a light kiss on the cheek.

" I understand and believe it or not there is someone that I do have my eyes on, but there is one problem why I can't have any kind of romance with this person, well if your done then you better get going and get ready, because Owen will want to leave in about ten minutes, I'll take care of your bowl so get going and thanks for our talk." Cliegg said gaving Padme a smile before he got up from his seat.

" Ok thanks daddy and love you." Padme said giving him a hug before heading off to her room and got dress before meeting Owen outside.

Once in her room Padme got undress and went over to her small closet and pulled out the clothes that she was going to be wearing today. Padme laid the clothes down on the bed and grabbed her underwear and her robe then headed for the fresher to get cleaned up and brush her teeth.

Thirty minutes later Padme was walking out of the entrance way and saw both her father and Owen standing next to the speeder.

" About time." Owen said gaving Padme a look that told her that she was late.

" I'm only a minute late so sorry, and we are going to be even later if we don't get into the speeder and get going. Bye daddy see you later be careful when you are out working on the vaporizers today and keep an eye open for any Raiders." Padme said going over to her father and giving him a hug and kissed his cheek before getting into the speeder.

" I well and the two of you be careful and Owen you do have your rifle next to you just in case you guys come across any Raiders on your way to town." Cliegg said coming over and stood next to Padme.

" Yes the rifle is tuck away right next to me, please take care and we will see you later then." Owen said starting up the speeder and Cliegg stepped back and waved goodbye as Owen and Padme headed off for Mos Espa.

" Um... Owen do you see what I see?" Padme said looking far off in the horizon and seeing a huge dark cloud of a sand storm.

" Damn I hope that it holds off until we can get our stuff done in town and get home before it hits." Owen said as he too noticed the stand storm.

" I agree with you." Padme said as they sped through the desert floor.

Lucky for them they got to Mos Espa without getting into the nasty sand storm which they both noticed was moving very slowly towards them.

" Ok here we are, first stop the junk shop." Owen said as they entered Mos Espa an hour later.

" Hope we can get everything that is on daddy's list and it wont take long to gather up the parts, I would like to eat something before we have to head home." Padme said as they had to slow down because of the traffic that they got into when they got on to the main street.

" I think we can stop by and get something to eat before heading home." Owen said as he stopped in front of a craft shop.

The traffic was mostly stop and go and of course Owen got tired of stopping and going so he headed down one of the side streets that was lease crowded.
