~Morning~

Anakin had gotten a chair to sit in and fell asleep, but while sleeping a nightmare lingers in his head about his mother again.

"Mom no," is what he starts to mumble in his sleep, tossing and turning, his eyebrows would furrow at certain points. Padme can hear this from her room; she stands up but leans on her right leg. She grabs her robes and wraps herself in it, and presses a red button that opens the door; the door goes up and hides in the doorway slit. She limps out and sees Anakin mumbling, and changing position a lot; she can see that he is having a nightmare.

"Ani," she whispers nudging his shoulder. He still tosses around, his eyebrows furrowing.

"Ani," she nudges harder causing Anakin to awake and grab her arm. She gasps in surprise, with Anakin breathing deeply.

"What happened," breathes Anakin.

"You had a nightmare." Anakin lets go of her hand.

He remembers, but comes back to reality. "Are you alright? How's your leg?"

"I'm alright, the laser, luckily only whizzed by, it just scratched me. It hurts still though," she says putting her hand to her leg.

"What time of day is it?"

"Morning, my handmaidens are coming soon and so is Captain Typhoo; he says he has something important to tell me."

"You should go back in your bed then."

"Alright." But as soon she takes one step she stops to rub her wound.

"Maybe I should help you."

"I think you should."

Anakin gets up and puts Padme's arm around his neck, and his hand around her waist to help her. But what it's mostly doing is making Padme's stomach turn inside-out, she feels extremely uncomfortable but needed his help to her bed, so she tries as hard as she can to ignore the feeling.

Anakin helps her sit on the bed and let's go of her, inside though he didn't want to let go, he wants to feel her warmth again, her breath close to his face. Padme, on the other hand, is relieved, finding herself breathing again. She lies on the bed but above the covers this time. Anakin leaves, but not willingly, to sit in the chair in the hall once again.

Captain Typhoo walks from around the corner with the handmaidens behind him wearing what they wore yesterday. Anakin stands up to greet them.

"How is she?"

"She's well, her leg only got scratched."

"That's good, is she awake?"

"Yes she's waiting for you."

"Ok thank you." Typhoo opens the door and walks in the handmaidens and Anakin.

"Hello milady, feeling better?"

"Yes, fine thank you. You wanted to tell me something?"

"Yes, yesterday when you were shot, I know who did it."

"Who," she asks sitting up?

"A changerling, hired by a bounty hunter, but I never got to force out the name, she was shot with a toxic dart by some rocket man."

"It was probably the bounty hunter, but do you know where the dart came from?"

"I scanned it, and the computers say it doesn't exist."

"That's odd."

"Yes, where ever this bounty hunter came from, it's from a planet not known to our knowledge."

"My Master could probably figure out what it is, I can give him the readings over my communicator," says Anakin.

"Alright here." Typhoo takes a small metal dart out of his pocket and hands it to Anakin who then, as soon as it's given to him, studies it carefully.

"I'll give it to him now." Anakin takes out his communicator and turns it on.

"Master can you hear me?"

"Yes Padawan, loud and clear, what is it?"

"I have this dart that won't come up on the computers here, I'll send you its readings maybe you'll be able to figure it out."

"Ok, but who is the dart from?"

"A bounty hunter, yesterday Queen Amidala was shot but don't worry she's fine, she was shot by a changerling. Captain Typhoo forced her to tell him things, but didn't get to hear the bounty hunters name because she was shot with this dart by the being who hired her."

"I will see what I can do Padawan."

"Thank you Master." The communicator shuts off, with Anakin then placing it back in his belt.

"Milady should I tell the Chancellor of this?"

"Yes, he'll need to know this."

Typhoo bows and leaves the room.

"Now I'll need to get dressed, the Chancellor will want to talk with me." She gets up but leans again on her right leg, so Sabe helps her down the corridor with the handmaidens then following them out.

The Throne Room-

Anakin stood waiting for the Queen's presence, wanting to see her face again, he doesn't even mind the formal make-up, all he needs is to hear her sweat voice again, singing like birds waking from a spring shower, her eyes shimmer in the sunlight.

The doors opens, the Queen walks in wearing: a black, ruffled dress which splits into a wide, upside-down V showing a black layer with some netted designs. Another net design is covering her arms and thumbs. And she wears a black hood covering her head and neck but not all of her chin, and there is long black feathers facing behind her. (This dress is from when the Trade Federation first imprisons her on Naboo.) Her handmaidens, on the other hand, are wearing their velvet, dark purple robes.

She takes her seat at the throne with then her handmaidens standing next to her.

She nods, signally Captain Typhoo, he presses the button and the same procedure happens. On the screen shows the Jedi Council and the Senate.

"Milady, I responded as soon as I could, are you all right," asks Chancellor Palpatine?

"I am fine Chancellor, but I fear that the bounty hunter will strike again."

"Yes, and you need to live, especially for this vote. I think it will be wise if you come to Corascant, and try to work something out."

"Yes Chancellor I shall."

"Oh thank you Queen Amidala, I am more relieved."

"Milady," speaks up Windu. "The readings you gave Obi-Wan showed no information here but he went to an old friend, he says the dart is from Kamino, an alien species that are specialized in cloning."

Padme's face was in shock, "Did you say Kamino?"

"Yes milady."

"Tell Obi-Wan to ask the cloners if they cloned anything for a Crevin Galadil."

"Yes Milady, I will tell him immediately."

"Thank you." The screen turns off.

"Padme, if I may say, something doesn't feel right about going to Corascant," says Anakin.

"Is that hunch, or is the force telling you?"

"It's no hunch Padme, I feel a disturbance there, and you shouldn't go even if you dress up as a handmaiden."

"He is right milady," says Captain Typhoo stepping forward. "There have been assassinations of Senators who were opposed to the vote as well milady, I fear you will be next."

"I won't go then, Sabe will have to take my place, I'll hide out here somewhere on Naboo."

"Where," asks Anakin?

"My home, where my family lives, they live across the lake."

"That is a perfect spot, we can contact you until further notice," says Captain Typhoo.

"Alright it's settled then. I'll pack, and Ani you wait outside my door," says getting up.

"Yes Padme."

Padme walks off the throne and out her room to get packed. ***************************************************************************
