-1A/N: Review Please!!

Sara

Aldreaan Skye, King of the Naboo, exited his bedchamber earlier than usual. Something about the sunrise over the water compelled him to walk out to the veranda. He was, as he had expected, the only one awake at this hour, and liked it that way. He was alone, for the first time since the assassination of the queen he was not surrounded by constant security and press. He could breath without finding out about the breath on every tabloid on the holonet this afternoon. He was relieved.

The veranda of the Royal Palace at Sérine had doors to all the bedchambers and overlooked the beautiful Nabiin Ocean. This was the grandest of residences for the monarch, and a favorite of Aldreaan. He came to escape the hectic life of Theed, and the only people that he brought were Senator Binks, his longtime friend Renic Nilaen, his wife-to-be and Ald's frequent partner Commander Syri Kenna, and this time her sister Sara.

The water freighters were moving slowly like small specks on the horizon, following the currents from the city of Raulli to the capitol of Theed. Though they were nearly an obsolete method of freight, the people of Naboo considered them too great a custom to modernize. Ald found watching them relaxing, a way to remind him of all the great things that his planet could offer him. They kept his mind off the chaos of the Empire and the Rebellion. They helped him to see that he was fighting for more than an ideal, but for a way of life that was established on his planet.

As the morning fog lifted the Light Tower overlooking the palace faded and went out, and noise began to come from the palace. The day had begun.

"The surf looks good for fish this morning, Ald. What do you say to a day of fishing?" Renic asked of the King, joining him on the veranda.

"That it does, maybe a day of fishing would be nice. Are Syri and Sara awake yet?"

"Sara is in the dining room, Syri is still asleep."

"I believe I'll get a bite to eat then, if you don't mind my friend."

Ald then proceeded into the dining room and sat down next to Sara Kenna. For sisters, Syri and Sara looked nothing alike. Syri had very curly black hair and dark eyes, while her sister Sara had soft brown hair and blue eyes. Syri had a strong build, from the two years of military life she had endured, while Sara was very professional looking, stern but not strong.

"It's a fine morning Miss, I do not believe that I've yet had the opportunity to talk to you."

"Well I'm not much to talk to, but ask anything you want, your highness."

"I doubt that, and none of this 'your highness' stuff this week, I'm off duty. Call me Ald."

"Does the king ever go off duty?"

"No, not really, but the king wants you to call him Ald all the same."

"Very well then, Ald, I must obey the king."

"Very funny, you know in my two years at the academy with your sister, I believe that I have never seen even a picture of you."

"We aren't the closest. When I went to political school, she went to the academy, and we didn't really talk much those years."

"Really, you went to political school?"

"Yes, on Courasaunt, actually."

"When I was younger, I always dreamed of going to that school. I envy you."

"Why didn't you"

"I went to fight in the war."

"This war has gotten in the way of so many peoples lives."

"Yes, but this week is a time to forget about all that, Renic invited me to fish today, would you like to come along?"
"Can his majesty the king spare the time to teach a girl like me to fish?"

"It is of the utmost importance that he does, ma'am."

The water was warm for the late part of the year, and the schools of fish were close to shore. Renic and Ald had caught four apiece, while Sara and Syri only two, all in all a successful day.

"Ald, how do you go about fixing a fish to eat?" Sara questioned Ald.

"That is something you better leave to the cooks."

"I'll take your word for it, then."

The group proceeded to take the days catch in to the palace, where the palace cook would prepare them into a fine dinner. In a matter of a few hours, the meal was prepared, and the group sat down for their meal.

Jar Jar Binks, who had been asleep most of the week, walked in to the meal a few minutes late, looking horrified, "Ald, There's a call from Senator Organa for yousa."

Ald them got up, and rushed to the Holocom in the other room.

"Your Highness, There is devastating news," the senator said.

"Yes, Senator, continue."

"There has been an attack on Dantooine."

"Right, Senator Binks and I will leave immediately, and we'll bring help."
