Okay, so I haven't updated in forever!!! I owe you all an apology, especially AniUnduli. I love and miss ya, girl!!!

Anyhoo, this is for a cowrite between myself and PinkKirby15 with our oc's. This one is the introduction to my OC, Yadié, one of Padmé's handmaidens.

Star Wars is copyright to George Lucas. He's so lucky!

As a Naboo handmaiden, I shall:

Strive for greatness,

Fight for justice,

Serve good,

Uphold integrity,

Protect what is right,

Respect all,

Keep an open heart and mind,

Show diplomacy,

And by life or death,

I will guard you, my lady.

I bind myself

By this oath

To my lady

And the Force

As long as I shall live.

Yadié stood at the window of the apartment, watching the midday Coruscant air traffic. She folded her arms across her chest with a sigh, closing her eyes, the oath running through her mind. She was bound to the code like the Jedi to theirs-it made her feel trapped. If only I could get away, just for a little while...

Padmé was changing for her Senatorial address, and Zalae was helping her.

"Lift your arms higher, please, milady."

"Please, Zalae, how many time must I tell you to just call me Padmé?" She grunted a bit as she raised her arms as far up as she could while the corset of her dress squeezed around her. "Is that tight enough?"

"Yes." Zalae tied the corset and stood back with a smile. "There, that's all set. Now we have to do your hair. I'll go get everything."

Zalae left the room quickly with a grin. Padmé turned to Yadié and furrowed her brows slightly. She approached her handmaiden with a slight frown as she adjusted to her corset.

"Di, are you alright?"

"Hmm?" She turned to Padmé and smiled. "Oh, yes, I'm fine, just thinking..."

"Want to talk?"

"Okay, Padmé, let's get your hair up. You have to leave soon." Zalae stopped, setting down the hairbrushes and other supplies. "Am I interrupting anything?"

"No, Zal, it's fine. Let's get her ready to go." Yadié went to her sister and took some of the supplies from her. "Come sit down, please, Padmé."

With a sigh, Padmé sat down, not taking her eyes off Yadié, who avoided the gaze. Zalae started brushing Padmé's hair. Yadié styled it wordlessly, and Padmé closed her eyes, letting her mind wander.

Hope you enjoy so far!
