Across The Stars

prologue

A/N: Asmosia, Queen Aurora, and Max are my creations. I made them up; everything else belongs to George Lucas.

This is set somwhere right before the events of Attack Of The Clones. Amidala is still the queen and Anakin and Obi-Wan are there on business. Things will become clearer as the story progresses. Hope you enjoy the story!!

.::Aurora's point of view::.

"She's going down m'lady. I'm going to have to land her." Max, my pilot, said in his Asmosian accent. I sighed and plopped down in the chair next to the pilot, preparing for our crash landing and praying that we would make it out alive.

We had originally been headed for Coruscant. Our tiny planet had finally come to a crossroads and I had decided, with the aide of my advisers, that we needed outside help.

The ship came to a crashing halt on the planet chosen for our abrupt landing. After the dust had cleared and the ship had settled, Max and I stepped out of the ship. Neither of us were injured in the crash, just a few bumps and bruises.

We took a moment to observe our surroundings. We had landed very near to what looked like the capital.

A few moments later several people came running from the palace and over to where we were standing.

"What is your business here?" The guard asked Max.

"We were enroute to Coruscant when the engine failed. I had to make an emergency landing on your planet."

"Are you alright?" The guard asked, deciding that for the time being we were trustworthy.

"Yes both the Queen and I are fine. Our ship however, is an entirely different story." As the guard and Max continued to drone on about the technical stuff of the plane, I let my attention drift elsewhere. I looked around, getting more and more used to my surroundings. The planet we had landed on reminded me much of my own planet. It had the lush foliage and docile atmosphere of Asmosia.

"Your majesty?" Max questioned, gently tapping my shoulder.

"Yes Max?"

"The guard is going to take us to see the queen now." I nodded my head and followed the guard to the palace, Max in step beside me.

Once we entered the palace the guard led us through a labyrinth of halls and passages. We eventually found ourselves in, what appeared to be a conference room. The queen was seated at the head of the short table; a Jedi seated on each side of her.

As we approached the queen she and the two Jedi stood up.

"M'lady, the two passengers aboard the crashed ship." The guard said with a bow of his head. The queen dismissed him with a wave of her hand and turned her attention back to us.

"Welcome to Naboo. I'm Queen Amidala."

"I'm Obi-wan Kenobi and this is my padawan, Anakin Skywalker." The older of the two Jedi said. I eyed the younger of the two, Anakin I think. He was very attractive.

"I'm Queen Aurora of Asmosia, and this is my pilot and most trusted adviser, Max."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, please take a seat." Queen Amidala returned to her previous seat and I took the seat at the opposite end.

"It was not our intention to land on Naboo. We were headed towards Coruscant when the engine failed. We had to make an emergency landing here. We're stranded until we can get the parts to repair the ship."

"I'm sure that we'll be able to figure out something. I'll have your ship placed in a hanger near here. Until your ship is fixed you can stay here."

"Thank you m'lady. Your hospitality is greatly appreciated." I gave one last look at Anakin before I turned and followed the handmaiden out of the room.

Tbc.....

**If I don't get at least ten reviews for this then I'll assume that you don't want me to continue with it.**

Thanks to everyone who read and enjoyed the prologue.

Love Peace and Yoda Feet
