Padmé sat in the comfortable compartment of her main ship. Over the past five years, she had been forced to receive much more protection, as she would have liked. Though she believed the danger had now passed, no one was taking any chances that she might be killed. She sighed. She was returning from a visit to Alderaan. It always took a lot out of her to see her daughter, Leia, living a lie. Leia had long brown hair, and somewhat looked how Padmé had at the age of 5. Leia believed that Padmé was a close friend of her parents. Leia too had befriended Padmé, though for Padmé, it just didn't seem like enough to be simply friends with her daughter.
Padmé, lost in thought, didn't notice the sudden jerking of her ship. Suddenly, the co-pilot of her ship ran out of the cockpit.
"Senator Amidala!" She said. "Senator Amidala! Our ship is caught in a tractor beam! They're pulling us in! We asked what they wanted, but all they said was that they knew you were here! Our ship is the only one being pulled in! All of the escort ships have been ignored!"
Padmé looked surprised. "How? Why? What is going to happen?"
"This ship must be large, it has a cloaking device, and we didn't see it! Somehow, someone on that ship knew you would be here! They are after you! You are in great danger Senator Amidala! We do not even know who has sent this transmission!"
"Can I please listen to the transmission? I may know who it is," said Padmé.
The co-pilot nodded and walked to the cockpit.
Padmé followed.
The pilot nodded, acknowledging Padmé and the co-pilot's presence.
The co-pilot pressed a few buttons. A voice came over the com- system...
Padmé recognized the voice! She hadn't heard it in a long time! She had desperately needed him so many times... But it was impossible! He had died years ago... Or had he...
"Senator, do you know who sent this transmission?"
"I think so... I think its Anakin..."
~*~
Darth Vader paced back and fourth. He had to remain to what his orders were. Torture his former lover... Reveal his former identity... then leave her to think in misery... He just hoped he could carry out those orders... WAIT! What was he thinking? Of course he could carry out those orders! Being a dark lord of the sith he couldn't have any weaknesses... Though it was possible that he had one?
Darth Vader didn't have a chance to ponder this for the captured ship was now onboard. He looked at it through the air- tight window. Through his mask, everything was tinted black. He would have rather not wear a mask, but the charade of him being dead had to remain. It would be disastrous if people knew that he was still alive... 10 storm troopers went down the ramp leading to the ship yard. They boarded the ship. Seconds later, one of the troopers exited the ship and waved that it was all clear.
He walked down the ramp, his own unit of storm troopers following.
"Kill all on board except the senator," said Vader to one of the storm troopers.
"Yes, sir," said the trooper.
"Put the senator in cell block 19 B, make sure she cannot escape!"
"Yes sir,"

The remaining of Padmé's escort fleet hurriedly made its way back to Coruscant. They had send a comm- message explaining what had happened, but it was important that they get back as quickly as possible.

"... According to her escort ships, Senator Amidala was taken prisioner by an unknown ship... So I believe the Jedi are needed for this," finished Supreme Chancellor Rothrock to Yoda.
Yoda nodded. "Need a Jedi Senator Amidala does. Send Master Kenobi I will,"
"Thank you, Master Jedi," said Rothrock, turning to leave.
Yoda nodded again and went to summon Obi- Wan.
~*~
Obi- Wan and Mara entered the council chambers, both bowing respectfully.
"Hello Masters," said Obi- Wan.
"Master Kenobi, Young Jade," greeted Klo Ploon.
"Have a mission for you we do..." said Yoda. "Abducted by an unknown ship Senator Amidala has been,"
Obi- Wan froze. He and Padmé had become close friends through sharing the pain of Anakin leaving and dieing. How could this have happened?
"Rescue her you must. Located this ship we have,"
