Similarity

A/N Pre ANH, Vader thinks about how similar Princess Leia of Alderaan is to Padme Amidala. He both hates and admires Leia. Mostly hate, he tells himself. Why? Because it reminds him of what he's lost. One-shot. Plz RandR.

I don't usually write Vader/Leia stories, I like the relationship of Vader/Anakin and Luke better, but this was something I was always thinking about so I had to write it.

Vader still hates senate sessions...who wouldn't? The senator's go on and on about matters when they could easily deal with it without having excruiciatingly long arguments.

So as Vader sat watching what appeared to be the longest Imperial Senate meeting of his life, it took all the sinister Sith Lord's focus to not nod off.

On top of the fact that he didn't want to be here; he was here with Emperor Palpatine...if he left it wouldn't be at all dignified.

Even worse was the fact that as he watched the Senate banter back and forth he was reminded of a certain senator, who he missed more than anything...even more than his hate for Obi-Wan Kenobi, infact.

The hissing voice of Emperor Palpatine called out to the Senate and the spectators," Princess Leia Organa, Senator of Alderaan has been called forth to speak."

Vader's scared skin shivered at the sound of Palpatine's voice...over the years Vader had come to hate his new master...such as he did his former Jedi master. Neither of them were fit to be Vader's master anymore, or so Vader thought to himself.

Vader his his thoughts well, and turned his attention to the pod of Alderaan where the new senator stepped forward to begin her own speech.

Vader felt his heart( or lack thereof) drop. The young senator was about seventeen years old, with two intertwining braids snaking around her shining face. It framed her big, brown eyes.

He had seen those eyes many times before, but not for years.

They were so much like! Padme and Leia's eyes...they held loving compassion for their job, a confident look. Vader's heart throbbed, why wasn't Padme here instead of Bail's brat.

Leia, was of course, oblivious to Darth Vader's thoughts and she began her speach about her diplomatic mission to Drewwa, the third moon in the Almanian system.

" My diplomatic mission to Drewwa has left me bewildered and stunned. As most of you know the moon, Drewwa was colonized approximately ten years ago. It has been an industrial base for the Empire for many years, and is home to some of the top manafacturing companies that feed the parts of ships and such to the Imperial Ship Yards..."

Vader groaned inwardly not only did she look similar to his Padme but she could drone on and on about politcal matters also.

"It was recently discovered that a certain metal that is being produced especially for Imperial building purposes is causing an outbreak of a serious disease. The disease causes internal bleeding, and eventually death. There are no cures for this, and it is our duty as the leaders of the Empire to cease the excavating of the metal before the people of the industrial colonies become any more diseased."

Vader was listening intently now, the cause even sounded like something Padme would fight for.

Vader sat in an angry silence the rest of the meeting.

It was true, Princess Leia Organa was extremely similar to his Padme...they shared many strong similarities indeed, but Leia was not Pamdme.

This was why Lord Vader hated her.

A/N So? That bad?
