DISCLAIMER: I don't own Star Wars. I do, however, own Ewan McGregor, he's
locked in my basement. Seriously, though, all characters are GL's except
Naori and Rhea. Those are mine. (
Also, a warning: This is my first attempt at writing fanfic. I'm a bit reluctant to put this on the site, actually, because I just wrote the first few scenes yesterday. The story's being going on since May, but most of it is actually new. So, if it's really, really, bad, I'm sorry. I would really appreciate any constructive criticism (did I spell that right?) that would make my story better, so if you have any ideas feel free to post a review.

The outline of Coruscant, the capital of the Republic, loomed in front of the ship, its black background with eerie yellow-orange shapes both intimidating and intriguing. Next to the window stood a female figure, looking out the window with anticipation in her copper-colored eyes. She sighed, and turned to find Captain Typho standing behind her.
"We will be landing shortly, miss," he said monotonously.
"Thank you."
Typho cleared his throat. "I have to say, miss, I don't agree with you going into this without a decoy, surely you will be..."
"If I am to die here," replied Senator Amidala, "then it shall be so, regardless of my security. I have made my decision this time."
"I...," he tried to protest, then gave up. "If you say so."
The senator grinned slyly. "Besides...that's what the Jedi are for."
Obi-Wan Kenobi stood on a landing pad attached to the Senate building on Coruscant, waiting impatiently for a ship to dock. A blond female Jedi, near his age, stood at his side and watched him, seemingly amused.
"Just what are you so anxious about?" she asked.
Obi-Wan shot her an annoyed look in response. "I'm getting tired of doing protection missions all the time just because Senator Amidala has no regard for her own safety, that's all."
The woman grinned. "You'd rather be fighting the Clone Wars."
"Yes. Exactly."
"But you'll blindly follow whatever the Council tells you because you have no mind of your own," she finished, managing to keep a straight face.
"Ex..." he frowned, suddenly realizing what she'd just said. "Heyyy.That's not funny."
The woman smiled and turned, laughing to herself. At the same moment, a silver starship flew in and landed a few yards in front of the Jedi, who exchanged looks before walking towards it. The landing platform unfolded and a door opened on the side of the ship. A nervous-looking guard stepped out first, followed by Senator Amidala. The latter looked at Obi-Wan and smiled.
"Master Kenobi. A pleasure, as always."
"Senator," he replied, bowing low in front of her. Amidala took a double take as her eyes fell on the female Jedi next to Obi-Wan.
"Naori Li? Is that you?"
Naori smiled. "It has been a long time, Senator."
"Indeed it has, and far too long," the senator replied. "But what are you doing here?"
"I was assigned to protect you along with Obi...er, Master Kenobi," Naori replied.
"And you would be Master Li now, wouldn't you?"
The Jedi smiled. "Yes."
Obi-Wan looked at the two women, confused. "I feel I've missed something here...Naori, you never told me you'd been to Naboo..."
"It was a long time ago, when I was still a Padawan...Adi Gallia and I were there for Amidala's coronation ceremony."
"They were very instrumental in the alliance of Naboo with the Trade Federation," added the Senator.
"Something I regret now, of course..." muttered Naori, "But it did seem like the right move at the time."
Obi-Wan smiled. "And guess who got to clean up that mess..."
"Alright, I get the point," Naori frowned, "Anyway, it is good to see you again, Senator."
"Call me Padme, please," she replied, turning to Obi-Wan. "Where is your apprentice, Master Kenobi?"
"He is on a mission at this time, on Kamino," Kenobi replied, his voice indicating that he was not entirely displeased at the way fate had turned out in that respect.
"Oh,"replied Padme, trying to hide the disappointment in her voice, "Will he be returning soon?"
"In a few days, if all goes well."
Padme's heart leapt at those words, though she tried to maintain her composure.
Naori Li interrupted. "We shouldn't be standing in the open like this, m'lady, it's not..." As she finished her words, the platform was rocked with an explosion from the ship, sending the Senator and the Jedi flying to the ground. Naori tried to lift her head to say something...and then her world went black.
Well.there it is. Please review and tell me what you think!
