A New Future
Chapter Two
A New Home
Padmé arrived, alone and scared, into the imposing Jedi Temple. She was in her new tunic and pants, the colors reflecting the world around her.
No longer was she on the beautiful planet of Naboo; instead, she was on Coruscant, a planet devoid of life in every possible way. The building were not built to respect nature but instead were built over it. Padmé could already feel the connection she had with nature ebbing away. She was in despair.
Jedi Knight Aayla Secura showed the new acquisition to her rooms.
"You will be here by yourself. Will that be alright with you?" asked Secura.
"Of course, but will I have a handmaiden?" asked the petite princess.
"Force no! We are Jedi and as such we do not have such luxuries."
"But I do not know how to dress myself."
"Of course you do. How else did you get into that tunic you are wearing now?"
"A droid helped me."
"Well I'll see if I can find a droid that can help you." With that, Aayla turned around and stalked off. "Really, not being able to dress herself," she muttered under her breath, "And she is already four years old! This is going to be more difficult than I-"
"Oh pardon me, Master Windu," she said as she bumped into the tall master.
"How is Padmé settling?" asked Windu, completely disregarding Secura's apology.
"She does not know how to dress herself. I believe she will need a droid to teach her. But after wearing the same style of clothing for a few days, I believe she will be able to master it."
"Very well. Get her a droid that will teach her how to dress and not just do it for her."
"Yes master." Secura bowed and walked away.
'Why did my parent's send me away? Do they not love me?' Padmé thought to herself. Just then, she heard the door chime. "Come in," she said.
"I came to see how you are settling," said Master Windu.
"Thank you, for your concern, Master Jedi, but I am quite fine."
'She is much older in spirit than she appears,' thought Windu. "Good, then you will start your training tomorrow with the other novitiates at 0600 hours."
"I'll be there."
