Time for Padmé's reaction to being hugged by a strange child.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Padmé Naberrie, better known as Queen Amidala, watched as a little girl no more then four years old with pretty brown hair and gray eyes raced to her. She was even more surprised when the child tried to hug her legs.
"Mae, don't stay 'way so long!" The toddler told her as she tried to get closer to her legs. The little girl looked up at her and promptly frowned.
Truth be told Padmé was just as confused by the girl's decloration and the fact that she she seemed to know her. She was certain that she would know if she knew a child that fit this one's description.
Tears filled the gray eyes as the girl started to cry. Padmé was at a lost as to how to comfort her though.
Without a warning the toddler gripped the skirt of her dress tighter. Padmé knew that the child was afraid of something.
Then from around a corner several more children arrived with a figure that could only be a Jedi. She noted that the Jedi paused for a few moments before carefully walking to the one that was clinging to her skirt. She didn't hear a verbal exchange but the child let go of her skirt and grabbed the Jedi's cloak.
"Master Jedi is something wrong?" Senator Palpatine asked gently. The Jedi didn't answer as he carefully picked up the crying child. The girl for her part buried her face in his chest. "There is a problem but it's nothing I can't handle." The Jedi Knight said softly before making a soft noise and the children gathered around him as he walked away,

Anakin walked as fast as he dared from the most puzzling scene in his memory. Somehow either that sleemo Sidious along with Padmé and some of her attendants were either here in the future or they were in the past.
He stopped at the thought that the Sith was in the future. His guts froze at the thought and he quickly reached out and sighed with relief that this was the past and not where they were supposed to be.
He felt safe but not really

Hego Damask, known as Darth Plagueis by only a few, had sensed something strange disturbance in the Force. He followed it to the Senate Building; he was about to chalk it up to his apprentice beginning to topple the Republic. But as he got closer he realized that it had nothing to do with Sidious but something to do with a strange presence in the Force.
He turned aside and followed it down a corridor and there he found a Jedi that had their cloak hood pull very low over their face and the cloak hid most of the Jedi's robes.
What he did find interesting was the fact that a small group of rather young Jedi Younglings were with the Jedi Knight.
The Jedi Knight came to a halt as did the Younglings. Hego and the Jedi Knight seemed to have a staring match when the Jedi made a hissing noise and hurried the Younglings away.
He watched them go, he couldn't take his mind off of the fact that the two human girls felt similar, like family and they had a blood connect to the Jedi Knight.
Hego decided then and there to learn more about this Jedi.

Short I know but it sets the stage for more.
