The sun rising and the sun setting across the azure Naboo sky no longer brought any joy to Jobal. Simple pleasures such as observing a flower bloom or watching a bird in flight only reminded Jobal of Padme. A month had passed since her funeral, and the Naberries were still grieving for her. They could not accept the fact that she was gone from them forever. Jobal, in particular, had the most difficult time dealing with her daughter's death. Her heart ached every time she thought of Padme, and sorrow overwhelmed her when she thought of Padme's premature departure from the world.

Ever since Padme's death, Jobal was having variations of the same dream each night. She felt like she was watching the dream through a wall of water, and the details were a bit muddled to her. However, each night that she had the dream, the details became clearer. At first, she only saw a brown haired little girl trapped inside a white building. Jobal eventually recognized that it was her daughter, Padme. Padme was saying something to her, but she couldn't hear her. The only thing that Jobal could hear were the sounds of raindrops pelting on the roof, and the loud roar of thunder. However, as Jobal continued to have the same dream, she was finally able to hear Padme speak. Jobal heard her calling out, "Momma, where are you? I'm here! Please find me!" Everytime Padme called out to her Mother, Jobal saw visions of a planet drowned with torrential rains. There was nothing but water, and several white City-Pods on the surface of the water. She had never seen that planet before, but believed that Padme's spirit was somehow trapped there.

Jobal eventually told Ruwee and Sola about her dream.

Sola remembered Padme telling her stories about a planet on the Outer Rim called Kamino.

Sola told her parents, "Padme told me once that the storm troopers were cloned on a planet called Kamino. She said that it rained there every day, and the planet was a large ocean."

Ruwee said, "You know, before I taught at the University, I was a builder. A long time ago, before I met your Mother, I was sent on a secret mission to Kamino. I was part of a team of builders who helped the Kaminoans design and build their stilt-mounted cities. I was friends with a young Kaminoan named Lama Su, who is now the Prime minister of Kamino. I believe he still watches over the clone factories."

Jobal felt the rays of hope color her life again. She said, "It's a sign from Padme. She wants to come back. She has unfinished business. She called to me in my dreams. We have to clone her and bring her back!"

Sola said, "Mother! That is unnatural. We can't do that! How could you suggest that Padme would want to have herself cloned?"

Jobal scolded her, saying, "How can you say that about your sister? Don't you miss her? Wouldn't you give anything to have her back?"

"Yes," Sola replied, "I would do anything to have her back but this just isn't right! It wouldn't be Padme, it would just be someone who looked like her."

"I don't care. I just want my daughter back. And, you're wrong, Sola. It would be Padme." Jobal said adamantly.

Sola told her, "Mother, I love her, but I think your grief has clouded your judgement."

"Sola, if you love me, if you loved your sister, you would agree with me. I need to have her back. Please. Sola, I can't do this without your blessings."

Sola looked at the pain that was in her Mother's eyes. Jobal had been weeping every day for a month. Her Mother was losing weight, and her sorrow was immeasurable. She thought of her sister, Padme. She had spent her whole life serving others. She didn't even get a chance to enjoy motherhood. She felt that Padme missed out so much in life. It was only fair that she could have another chance. Sola reluctantly said, "I guess you're right, Mother. It would be nice to have Padme back again."

Jobal turned to Ruwee and said, "What are you waiting for? Please contact Lama Su. My daughter is calling for us to bring her back."

Ruwee didn't argue with his wife. He knew what he was about to do was probably not the right thing, but the emptiness in his heart from his daughter's death left such a fierce aching that he wanted to stop the pain by having Padme in their lives again.

The decision was made. They were going to clone Padme. Ruwee contacted Lama Su for a favor.
