Note: This is somewhat a song-fiction. You might know the artist you might not. "Lying to Myself" is a song recorded by a new artist Ben Glover. We were stirred by this song cause of its lyrics pertaining to lying to yourself about the reality and truth at the events in which are happening. And lying about how things really are and what they really are. We picture Amidala Naberrie` doing the same to herself, giving this fiction the appropriate title Lying to Myself.

Thanks2: George Lucas and friends for creating the already known characters. Know we are receiving no money or anything for this work, only the satisfaction of releasing our feelings and allowing others to view them.

Time: After Episode II. Yes, my first version of Episode III and II, but II is a flash back sort of thing during the times it comes in.

Summery: EP2&3. Amidala is realizing the truth, on what was and how life used to be. Sabe`, Rabe`, Eirtae`, and Dorme` are shaken by what they find. We also can't forget the twins nor the two Jedi lover boys, can't we? The first hand encounters of the Rising of the Emperor. Please R/R!!!

Dorme` Embrace

I had been shutting the door to the twin's rooms when I first heard. I was in a bit of panic at first but I felt I needed to be strong for the children as well as the rest of the group. I knew Amidala was strong, but during this time, she leaned on her husband who was going through a lot already. It was my turn to be strong. Deep inside I knew our time of strength was going to grow dim, especially with Palpatine's betrayal not to just his own people of Naboo, but to the entire galaxy.

Sooner or later both Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker would be called of to war, no matter if they were Jedi or not.

Even if the ignorant beings did believe Palpatine that he'd protect them and stay a loyal Emperor to them, there was going to be a vast and bloody war, worse than the one back on Naboo.

It still sends shivers down my spine just thinking about how Palpatine could devise much less carry out such a deed, but he did.
