Summary: Little Leia Organa snoops in her father's office. What does she find?
"Daddy!" I squealed. I looked across the grand hallway at my father, who was coming out of his office. He had that tired look on his face.
But still, he smiled. Moving away from his various attendants, he walked up to me and swept me up in a big hug. Although I was sixteen and an adult under Alderaanian law, I could never resist cuddling my father.
"Hello, Princess." He was tired.
"Where are you going now, Daddy?" I asked, noticing for the first time the various cases of luggage that were surrounding him.
He sighed.
"I have to go away to Naboo for a few days, precious. There's some business I have to take care of. It's not something I can get out of," he apologises.
"Okay, Daddy. I understand." I gave him a kiss on the cheek.
He quickly moved away from his office. For once, he was probably impressed I hadn't thrown a tantrum because he was going. The truth was that I had a dream last night. It confused me; I had seen a woman with long brown hair.
She didn't look anything like daddy's wife. So I assumed she was my real mother. Naturally, I knew daddy would have kept a reminder of my real mother somewhere in this grand palace. And most likely it would be in his office.
Tiptoeing in, the first thing I noticed was a white piece of paper on his desk. There it was, standing out from the other junk.
Scribbled on it in thick, black ink which was very rare in the galaxy was a simple note.
Theed Palace, Naboo.

P. A
Stunned, I shoved the paper back onto the desk. I heard footsteps heading towards the room. I quickly ran out. It was Daddy.
"Silly me, I forgot something. Must be the old age," he joked as he playfully ruffled my hair.
"Yeah, Dad. Bye again," I said.
Daddy walked over to me and stopped in front of me. He put his hands on my shoulders.
"I love you, Princess Organa. And don't you forget it," he whispered.
Fighting a tear, I replied "You too, Daddy".
He smiled and left yet again. I contemplated going back into the room. Instead, I chose to go out onto the palace balcony and wave goodbye to my father.
