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!!!

Eirtae` Sallow

I had been with Rabe` Immerse, one of my closest friends, talking with her in our rooms, when Dorme` entered. Our pervious conversation ceased, plunging into a deep eerie silence. Rabe` was the first one to move.

"What's wrong?" she asked the older woman in concern.

I could've sworn that I actually saw water in Rabe`'s eyes when Dorme` told us. I felt like crying myself, but the shock took me over.

I was frozen in place.

This couldn't be happening. Why in Kessel would Chancellor Palpatine go against us? Rise up against the entire Republic and claim himself as Emperor.

But no matter how hard I tried to deny the cold hard fact, deep down I knew he had betrayed us long before this.

Zoning back into reality I jumped off the floor. "We have to get out of here. If Palpatine is going up against us he will stop at nothing till we're all dead."

Dorme` disagreed. "Palpatine may have done this but he wouldn't d—"

"Why not? If he wants power so much, why stop now?" I poised.


The three of us now stood in silence, not knowing what to do. Suddenly we all broke into a dead run down the stairs, careful not to wake the twins and quietly strolled into the living room where Sabe` lay weeping on the couch, with bandaged hands. Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin's Jedi Master, held her in his arms cradling the fear away.

He noticed us and motioned for us to come in. "Eirtae`, would you please go get Ami and Anakin?"

I only nodded and proceeded to do my task.
