The room was huge. When you first walked in there was a large balcony
window straight ahead. This of course led to the balcony. There was a very
large bookcase against the wall on the left; it was made of solid maple and
very beautiful. There was a very large canopy bed that was oversized and
overstuffed. It was made as if she were coming back to sleep tonight.
There was a cedar chest at the end of the bed and some end tables on either
side of the bed.
Qui-Gon gingerly went about the room searching. He searched under the bed in the chest and then stopped. Obi-Wan and Kieron were searching the bookcase which must have held over 300 books.
Qui-Gon looked at the two men and then asked. "If you were a girl where would you put your most treasured items?" Obi-Wan stared at this master a moment then spoke up. "In a secret hiding place. Somewhere where no one would think to look." "Correct, but now where would that be in this room?"
Just as Qui-Gon spoke Kieron leaned against the wall next to the bookcase to think and pushed in a brick on the wall. Kieron turned to see what he had done and then pulled the brick out and some from around it. When he looked inside he smiled. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan had seen this and moved closer to Kieron to get a look.
"What have you found?" Qui-Gon asked. "I have found, I believe, what we have been looking for." He pulled out a leather journal and a little black and red book. Kieron began to open the journal when Qui-Gon stopped him. "I'm sorry Kieron but I can't let you do that. This is our mission and I believe that either I or Obi-Wan should read this." Kieron began to nod and slowly handed over the journal, but opened the black and red books to figure out what was in them.
Qui-Gon rolled his eyes and gently opened up the journal and began to scan through it. He looked for the most recent entry, which seemed to be written about 5 days ago.

Journal,
I can't stand living here anymore. It is all about being a "princess" and fulfilling my "royal duties." But when if I don't want to. I mean. I find it pointless to do this. Isn't there a rule or law that says if the heir doesn't want to they don't have to? I don't know about my family anymore. My father isn't here to give me his wise advice and mother doesn't understand. Nobody here has any understanding of my problems. I have decided that I would be better off somewhere else where mother can't find me, Xanatos will leave me alone and maybe I can find inner peace and solace. ISN'T THERE SOMEONE THAT CARES WHAT I WANT! Staying here is pointless. I have decided to leave and go Adrith. NO one knows me and I am changing my name. No one will ever know that I am royalty. I will finally stop having people kiss my hand as I walk down the streets and people will finally stop giving me all these stupid tings that a 23 year old will never use or want. The only good that has come out of this is that I know how to take a gift and make someone think I like it.

Qui-Gon closed the journal and looked up. "Well, I know where she is now. She is on Adrith. A small dark planet in a part of the galaxy that isn't too safe." "Master, why would she want to go to Adrith?" "I really don't know Obi-Wan, I really don't know." "Well, can I try to clear this up. She probably went because she is tired of "her" world. Or at least so it seems. She wants to experience the real world and doesn't want mommy to get in the way. And if all this is true about her not wanting to ever become queen then that would be the place that no one would really find a "queen-to-be." Out in the real world. So let's get a move on shall we?" Kieron trotted down the wooden staircase and waited out in the foyer. "You know, he isn't the most conventional person but he does have a point master." "True Obi-Wan, very true. There is more to this pilot than meets the eye."
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan followed suit and went back into the foyer where Kieron was chatting with the Queen.
"Excuse me ma'am, but we know where your daughter has gone and we would like to begin our search as soon as possible. We will keep in contact with you and make updates about your daughter. As soon as we find her you will be the first to be notified." Qui-Gon said as he kissed her hand and waved good-bye.
"Thank you and return soon." The Queen waved and tried to smile.
Outside, the men were getting situated for their trip to Adrith. On their way to the ship Obi-Wan picked up some space sickness pills to help him have a smoother trip. Once all of the guys were inside Kieron closed the ship door and took off.
"Do you know how far away Adrith is?" Qui-Gon questioned.
"Yeah, it is approximately two days away.most of the planets and home worlds tend to be pretty close. Most of the time it takes no more than 5 days to get anywhere.well almost anywhere." Kieron punched the ship into hyperspace and then set it to auto pilot. "Oh, and by the way.we are gonna have to dress just a tad different if you want to survive on Adrith. I have a machine that will change your wardrobe. Dresses you for you. Can change your hairstyle, color and texture if you like; that and eye color. It's pretty cool. I have only had to use it a few times."
"Really, we will have to check that out now then won't we."
The three men wen to the back of the ship and began fiddling with the machine. Kieron went in first and came out wearing a black fitted T-shirt with a black pair of pants and black boots that stopped at the knee. His hair was no longer its chocolate brown but a blond color with red tips. His eye color was now a piercing blue.
Obi-Wan was amazed and just stared. He decided that he would try this new machine next. Obi-Wan came out wearing a tan pair of cargo pants that were very worn looking and brown vest over a dirty white shirt. He carried a knapsack on his shoulder and had black hair with hazel eyes.
Qui-Gon began to smirk a bit and then looked at Kieron before stepping in. As he stepped in he telepathically spoke with Obi-Wan.
*I have seen this kind of machine before. Only Jedi have this. The council only issues it to certain people that are more than trustworthy with this type of merchandise. *
Obi-Wan just looked at his master with a puzzled look and then watched as his master's transformation began.
When Qui-Gon emerged he was in a leather top and pants to match. The leather was black and read. Not a bright red, but a muted red that wasn't too flashy. This showed off the muscle he had and Obi-Wan was amazed. Qui- Gon's hair was no longer long but cropped close to his ears and tipped blond. His eyes were chocolate brown and still could see through anyone weak enough to let him.
Qui-Gon walked toward the two men gawking at him and went and sat down in the co-pilot seat and began reading a book on his palm pad.
Qui-Gon gingerly went about the room searching. He searched under the bed in the chest and then stopped. Obi-Wan and Kieron were searching the bookcase which must have held over 300 books.
