Note 11

Padmé,

Be sure you tell me the minute the fight is over and Anakin is safely on the ground again. Anakin has told me that his ship took off, and Qui-Gon suggested that his ship might be taking him to the Droid Control Ship! That must be very dangerous, as there would be enemies around it. I worry about him so much when I know the danger surrounding him. It seems like you are in great danger as well. I wish you luck…my son's life may depend on your success. As I have told you before, I trust you with his life.

You said that you think the thing Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon is fighting with is a Sith? That cannot be good.

Have you gotten to the Viceroy yet? Anakin said that was your goal. But he said that you needed the Trade Federation Control Ship destroyed. Were your fighters able to do that? Please tell me when you are safe at last.

Thank you. I am pleased that you have offered your palace to my son. You have been so kind to him and to me! I do not understand Jedi ways either. Qui-Gon has also promised me that he will train Anakin. I trust him with Anakin, and Qui-Gon suggested he will train Anakin, even if it means leaving the Jedi Order. I hope it does not come to that. But if it does, Anakin could stay in the palace on Naboo while receiving training from Qui-Gon. That would be nice.

A Sith Lord! I hope that Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan survive as well. They are resourceful men. Good…I am glad that you see Qui-Gon in a different light than you had before.

You are welcome, dear. I am sorry to hear that you never had a mother of your own. Do you know what happened to her? Maybe one day you will meet her. Thank you so much for keeping an eye on my Anakin.

Let me know how the battle is going.
