Title: Discoveries : No turning back
Summary: This story is completely AU. It is set after TPM and before AOTC. Most of the main characters come into play, and a few new ones are introduced. We find out that Sabe Monetage ( I made up the last name, it's not very good though) has been hiding an important secret for a long time and she travels to Coruscant where it is unraveled. And if you want to know the rest, I suggest that you read it!

Disclaimer: All characters in this story, except for Raina and Arsinoe, belong to George Lucas. This story is my idea, and he can have it if he wants! But I kind of doubt that he would.
*****************************************
Padmé Naberrie sat at her vanity staring into the mirror. She was contemplating the events that had just occurred. She had just returned from a meeting with the council and there had been yet another argument about the Military Creation Act. They could not decide what they're actions should be. Padmé, now the Senator of Naboo, was strongly opposed to this action but nobody else seemed to be siding with her. The Military Creation Act had just been mentioned and she was doing everything she could to prevent it. For if it was passed, there would be great suffering. But no one was sure how long this debate would go on.
Just then Padmé's thoughts were interrupted by the soft knock on the door. "Come in." Padmé e said while standing up, trying to shake the thoughts out of her head.
"Did I interrupt you Padmé?' Corde asked quietly.
"Of course not. I need to see a familiar face right now." Padmé chuckled. For Corde was her stand in during times of danger, and they looked almost exactly alike. If you looked close enough, you could tell the difference between them easily. Now Padmé was no longer Queen of Naboo, but she was quite glad of that. Although she didn't have as many handmaidens as before, she still had three loyal bodyguards, and three best friends.
"Having troubled thoughts again?" Corde replied in a concerned voice. She then walked towards Padmé and that's when Padme notice an envelope clutched in Corde's hand.
"I'll be fine." Padmé said eyeing the envelope cautiously. "What are you holding Corde?"
"Uh.well, Dorme went to see what Sabe was doing. She was taking longer than usual this morning and." Corde lifted up the envelope and offered it to Padmé. "She found this in her room. It's addressed to you"
"Thank you." Padmé grabbed the envelope and stared at her name written in a familiar script. She was scared what she would find so she waited a while then carefully opened it up. Inside was a note written in Sabe's writing and it said:
Dearest Padmé,
As you are now reading this, I am gone. I have taken my daughter, Arsinoe with me and we have gone to see her father. I just had to make this trip and I did not want you or the others to convince me otherwise, so I fled in secrecy. Do not worry about us, I have given this trip much consideration and we will be fine. I will send word of our well being as soon as I possible. I am truly sorry you had to find out this way. I will understand if you do not wish me back in you service by the time this is through.please forgive me.
Sincerely, Sabe Monetage
"Oh my." Padmé said softly as she finished reading the letter.
"What did it say?" Corde asked cautiously. She waited patiently as Padmé reread the letter. She then handed the letter to Corde who read in silence.
"Sabe has taken her daughter, Arsinoe to Coruscant to see Obi -Wan."

As the Tour Transport neared the Jedi Temple, Sabe's heart fluttered. She was getting very anxious and nervous. When the transport stopped, she quietly stood up and grabbed her purse, and her daughter's hand. She exited the transport as quickly as possible, for she was in a hurry. She had waited far too long to come here and see him. And as she neared the Grand Jedi Temple, she knew there was no turning back now, and she didn't care. Sabe was very happy about this visit.
When Sabe and her daughter neared the Temple, she realized she was walking far too fast for Arsinoe. So she stopped to take a final look at her. "Am I walking too fast for you, Arsinoe?" Sabe said sweetly, she then knelt down and started straightening her dress and fixing her hair. She had light brown curly hair that seemed to go everywhere at once, but today it was nice and neat. Before they had arrived on Coruscant she had thought very hard about what she would dress Arsinoe in, and how she would fix her hair. It was very hard hair to deal with, but she always looked so cute. In the end, Sabe had decided on a Blue Dress because it brought out Arsinoe's shining blue eyes the most.
Her eyes were exactly like Obi-Wan's. She remembered how she had gotten lost in his eyes whenever they were together. And every time she looked at her daughter, she saw him. When Arsinoe was a baby, Sabe had found it difficult to look into her eyes. She would get very sad and guilty because when she looked at her daughter she reminded her of Obi-wan, and of the lies she had to tell. She had to keep this secret, the secret of who Arsinoe's father was, and it pained her so much.
She wasn't able to tell anyone that an amazing Jedi was her baby's father. She had to make up stories to who and where he was. Since Obi-wan had left her, he life had become full of secrets. Often she felt that Arsinoe's life was a lie, and finally, she couldn't deal with it any longer. She had to see him. He had to meet his daughter. She would make sure that he saw how beautiful Arsinoe was. That is after all, why she came, so he could meet his child.
"Yes." Arsinoe replied stubbornly. She then turned her head to stare at the large and beautiful building. "Mommy, what is this place?" she added quietly.
"Sweetie, this is the Jedi Temple. Do you remember me telling you about it?" Sabe said as the stood up and took one last look at Arsinoe. "Perfect!" she whispered.
"Oh.yes! I do!" Arsinoe chimed. "It's so pretty!" Then she looked long and hard at the building, as to memorize every detail of the building, and hold that picture forever. While Arsinoe stood gawking at the Temple, Sabe took out her compact and made sure she looked ok. She needed to look very good today, good for Obi-wan.
"Hey! Isn't this where daddy lives?" Arsinoe asked suddenly. Yes, Sabe had told many lies about her relationship with Obi-Wan, but she had always told Arsinoe the truth. She had never lied to her about her father; in fact it was all she had talked about to Arsinoe lately.
"Yes, it is. Let's go in now Arsinoe." Sabe took Arsinoe's hand once again and they walked up to the large golden doors. This is it. She thought to herself, no turning back now. She then grabbed the handle and pulled open the door.
Well, there is the first chapter! If you want to see what happens next, let me know and I'll update soon! (Please R & R)
