Tzadik was exhausted. She has been chasing around Princess Leia for a week now. It was exhausting work. Nobody had informed her that she would also be cooking, cleaning, playing, and, well, basically doing everything a mother does, for the Princess. Luckily, Leia was now down for her afternoon nap, at least, she was supposed to be.

Tzadik was coming up from the secret room. She had just contacted Lin San and Obi-Wan and told them how smoothly everything was going and how tired she was. They had said that they sent help for her so that she could take a break every now and then. "I wonder who it is they are talking about?" she asked herself as she slowly entered into the Leia's room since she was supposed to be taking her nap.

She looked at her watch and decided that it was about time for Leia to wake up. She walked over to toe bed and shook the Princess, but she didn't even stir. Tzadik decided to tear the blanket off of her. It usually worked and probably would have except for the fact that nothing was there but four pillows that were made to look like a body underneath a blanket. "That little brat!" she yelled. "I can't believe I fell for that! I used to pull that all the time and now I was blind enough to miss it. How stupid of me!"

Tzadik ran through the room, tearing it apart, searching frantically for the princess. As she got out of the closet, a robed figure in a light blue outfit stepped into the room holding a squirming Leia by the collar of her dress.

"Are you looking for this?" the figure asked, a slight smirk on her face.

"Who are you and why do you have the princess?" Tzadik asked, tearing Leia from her grip.

"My name is Lllyana. Obi-Wan and Lin San sent me to help you with her." Lllyana said as she pointed to the princess, who was in the process of trying to get out of the window to escape the Jedi.

"How can I be sure? We have had a few Sith lords chasing us." Tzadik asked suspiciously.

"They told me to give you this." she said as she handed Tzadik a data card. "I don't know what is on it, but I was informed to give it to you. They said it was encrypted and that you would know how to decode it. Have a blast." Lllyana walked past Tzadik and grabbed Leia before she attempted to repel down the side of the palace with a long line of sheets.

"I don't need any help. You can go and tell Obi-Wan and Lin San that." Tzadik said rudely.

"Well, if you really feel that way, then I'll just let the princess continue her long climb to the bottom of the palace where she can run away and get caught by some dark Sith Lord who will turn her into another Xanatos, or worse, Emperor." Lllyana said, letting Leia free from her grip. As soon as she was free, she slipped past Tzadik and ran down the hall.

"What did you do that for?" Tzadik yelled as she ran after her.

"You said you didn't want any help." Lllyana yelled as Tzadik ran to catch the princess.

"I don't! I just don't know why you felt you had to do that!" Tzadik said as she came walking back with Leia squirming in her arms.

"Well, obviously you don't need me, so I will just tell the Masters Kenobi and Tseng that you don't want to listen to them and you no longer respect their decisions on this matter. Y'know what? I think I will go and do that now. I think they would like to know about things like this. Excuse me." She forced her way past Tzadik and headed towards the secret room.

"No, don't do that." Tzadik said with a sigh. "I respect the wishes of the Masters and I will do as they say. Is there any particular reason that they sent you? I mean, I think I was handling everything pretty well."

"They foresaw that you would have trouble in the future. I have been a Knight longer then you and I know a little more, and I do mean little. I'm not trying to belittle you or anything, it's just the truth. They wanted you to be safe and two Jedi are always better than one." Lllyana said with a smile, trying to calm Tzadik.

"Fine, just help me catch her." Tzadik said, giving into Lllyana's demands.

"Good." Lllyana said. She then used the Force to pull Leia to Tzadik. "There ya go. Have a blast. I told Bail Organa that I would go and speak with him once I convinced you of who I was. Excuse me."
