Fornia's Diary
16th Jan, Coruscant
Another dull day in my dull life. I am so bored. There's nothing to do ever since Chayni brought back law and order. The Senate is so dull. I thought when Chayni was made Supreme Chancellor all my troubles would cease to be, what with the Jedi helping out too, but I'm just so... bored now. Nothing interesting ever happens. The juiciest bit of today was hearing Chayni say some bounty hunters are attacking Trangor Prime and he's sending the Jedi to sort 'em out. How sad is that? That was the most exiting thing that happened to me.
This place is dullsville. Please, by Force, let something interesting happen soon!

18th January
Well, I did ask for something interesting to happen. I didn't mean this though. I meant a dispute in the senate that I, brilliant Correllian senator Fornia Alorida, could sort out. But d'you know what I got instead? Boba freaking Fett.
Here's what happened. I was just watching Holo-Vision™ here in the apartment, when there's this frantic buzzing of the sensor on the auto- door. I went to see who it was, and there was my prodigal half-brother Dengar, blood-soaked, looking forlornly at me.
"What do you want?" I asked irritably. This might sound mean but Dengar only ever visits when he wants something. Plus, the Matrix Revolutions was on Holo-Vision, and I was trying to finally understand it.
He goes "I was on Trangor Prime." I was worried then. He may be an ex- bounty hunter who only visits when he wants credits, but he's still my brother. I was all "Are you ok?" and he calmed me down, going "I'm fine, I wasn't in the battle. But a friend of mine got badly injured. He's nearly dead. Can I look after him here? Correllia was too far to take him. You were nearest. Please, Forn'."
I couldn't refuse. Bounty hunter or not, no-one deserves to die prematurely. So I go "Sure. Who's this friend anyway?" and Dengar goes "Boba Fett."
I swear I nearly had heart failure. I kind of croaked "What? The Boba Fett?" and Dengar went all sarcastically "No, the other Boba Fett. Of course the Boba Fett!"
So, I let him in. Probably the biggest mistake I ever made. Dengar brought Fett in and put him in my best (the bloody cheek!) bedroom. I must admit, he did look pretty bad. There was blood all over his Mandalorian armour. I actually felt a bit sorry for the guy. But Dengar sorted him out. He's still unconscious though, but Den' said he'll be ok, he just needs to wake up in his own time. Then Den' made to leave. I was like "Where the heck are you going?" and he said he wanted me to 'work my magic' (his exact words) and make Fett a good guy. He said he'd been trying for two years ever since the Sarlacc thing and I'm good at telling people what to do (the cheek!). I was like "What am I gonna tell him when he wakes up? He might want to know where in the galaxy he is, or where you are!" and Den' goes "Make something up. You're a senator! Lying is easy for you guys!"
I was totally getting on my soap-box at this point, but he just sighed and goes "Oh, just tell him Manaroo's pregnant and I had to dash off." And without another word, he did. Sigh.
So now I'm left on my own with one unconscious clone (I know he is because on Holo-Vision they've been playing Earth-Culture movies all week and they had a 'Star Wars' marathon on the other day). I checked on him a couple of minutes ago. He doesn't look so bad now. He's just in his jumpsuit, all armour-less. I actually saw his face! He looks nothing like that dude who plays him in Star Wars (mind you no-one looks like the people who play 'em in Star Wars. Like Han Solo is that cute). But Fett actually looks a lot like Keanu Reeves in the Matrix. Hmm...
Shall write what he's like when he wakes up

22nd Jan
Grrr. I don't like Fett. He may be really cute (Keanu Reeves cute!) but he's so... cold. He woke up today, and I went in and I suppose I was a bit mean because I said all snobbishly "You're awake then." And he just looked at me all indifferently and goes "Yes." Not even a 'who are you?' or 'where the heck am I?' So without waiting to be asked I just go "I'm Senator Fornia Alorida. I 'm Dengar's sister. He left you in my care while he's gone to see Manaroo, because she's pregnant."
"Oh." That is all he said. What a jerk! Oh well, I'll have him eating out of my hand in due time.
Fornia
24th February
Y'know, he ain't that bad now. He's ok. For the first week he was all common and stuff so I pretended to be super-posh to annoy him. Then this one day he goes "You don't look a bit like Dengar." I didn't know whether he was being sincere or not, so I said "Well, I'm only his half-sister." and we actually began to talk, about our families no less. He was asking me all these questions about my life and being Den's sister and stuff and he seemed genuinely interested. I asked him about his family (I already knew the truth cos I watched the Star Wars marathon) and I was expecting a lie, or him just to not answer, but do you know what? He told me. He actually admitted the clone thing to me. I felt kinda honoured, as I know he's never told anyone that before. There's a whole different side to this guy.
Then I said something about the Matrix and the clones in that, and he didn't know about Earth-Culture! Can you believe that? Mind you, he was involved with the whole Empire/Rebel war, and everyone in with that missed E.C. So I got to introduce him to it. Got all my Holo-discs out first, played a bit of E.C's finest, put on the MHV Channel, the whole nine parsecs. Then did the movie thing. I think he enjoyed them. Ooh, and I showed him Star Wars. He was in shock for a bit, but then he got into it. All, "Oh yeah, like Vader was that tall!" He's quite sweet now, actually. Hm. Confused
Fornia 1st March
Told Boba what happened on Trangor Prime after he fell unconscious. He told me there was this Sith guy who attacked him! Force, they're back again. I'd better tell Chayni.
Speaking of Chayni, I holo'd the Senate to let him know I wouldn't be in for a bit. Supreme Chancellor Stuck-Up I mean Tular was all "Senator Alorida, you cannot come and go as you please! You are a senator of the Republic! Your job is your priority!" Force, what a jerk. So I just said "I'm very sorry, Chancellor, but I have an inescapable family emergency." And I cut the connection. I would've told Chayni about the Sith, but he really annoys me, the self-righteous git. So he can find out himself. I'm sure his little Jedi lackey Skywalker will tell him.
I'm totally getting through to bounty-boy now. I keep saying all this stuff I helped with in the Senate last year, like getting that anti-slaves on Outer-Rim planets bill passed, and I was expecting him to be all 'what a wasted year' but he was actually all "That was cool of you. That slave thing was pretty unfair."
I don't get it. First I though I had him sussed, but he's totally confusing me. I keep dreading the day when he's fit again, cos he's just gonna leave.
I'm so confused. I can't stand guys like him normally, y'know, all cold and haughty, but there's this kinda softer side to him. Am I in love?
Fornia
13th March
Oh Force. I've made such a mistake. I'm so STUPID to think he could've been anything more that a heartless bounty hunter.
I though we were really getting on well. I mean, he was getting better so he was more active, so we hung and talked and watched Holo-vision in the sitting room and stuff. We were watching HV one evening and it had a report on the ongoing Jedi/bounty hunter strife, cos some Jedi had got killed, and he said he felt kinda bad about all the stuff he'd done. I just wanted to yell 'I forgive you, wonderful one!' and declare my undying love for him, but I managed to restrain myself and say rather haughtily "You are human then. Dengar thinks you're some kind of unfeeling bounty droid. You're more IG-88 than IG-88." And he was all "What now?" so I told him the real reason Den left him here. He was all "I have not been re-souled!" and I was like "Please. It's all over your face. You look like a guy who actually experiences emotion now." He just looked away. There wasn't even a cocky comment. I think I must've touched a nerve or something, cos he seemed really freaked out. I guess he hasn't felt emotion for a long time, since he was, like, a kid. But, it doesn't stop there. We were on the balcony, talking, and he said something about the stars were all pretty and stuff, and I was amazed. I totally never imagined him ever saying that. I said to him "You are so hard to figure out! At first I thought I had you sussed as being this heartless evil guy, but now you're all deep and philosophical and 'my-aren't-the- stars-pretty?' You're so confusing!" He looked at me as if I'd gone crazy, and said "You're wrong. I'm not deep and nice and philosophical and all that, I'm just a horrible soulless clone who goes round making credits off other peoples mistakes, so you shouldn't think there's any more to me cos there isn't." I was screaming inwardly at this point, but I managed to keep my composure and I just smiled at him and said "You're an idiot if you think that about yourself." He looked so forlorn when I said this, and opened his mouth, and I bet he was going to say 'I must be an idiot then' but I couldn't wait any longer and I just kissed him. A proper, E.C. movies style kiss. And, he kissed me back. He actually kissed me!! I thought I was going to melt and turn into a pile of Correllian senator goo, but he was all strong and totally cool and before I knew it we were sort of falling into the bedroom... Whoa. But next morning everything went pear-shaped. Woke up expecting sleepy bounty dude next to me, and instead had Mandalorian shoulder armour plate thingy on pillow next to me, and nothing else. In denial, I searched the rest of the apartment, and nothing. 'The heartless sod's done a runner!' was my initial reaction, but thinking from his point of view he must be REALLY weirded out. But I'm in major pain here! I just wish I hadn't thrown myself at him like that. I feel such a fool. To make things worse Dengar holo'd to check how things were going, and I lied and said they were fine. I couldn't tell the truth! Den'd never forgive him. It'd totally wreck their friendship, plus Den'd probably track him down and try to kill him. And let's face it; he'd stand no chance against Boba Fett. What am I going to do?
Fornia 14th March
Went back to work today. Chayni very curious to know what kept me. I brushed it off, but felt on the verge of tears all day. When I went to lunch they had E.C. radio playing in the café, and every single song reminded me of him. I did cry a coupla times. Curse that Rod Stewart.
But revelations at the senate after my lunch break. Was summoned to the office of mighty Tular to explain my absence fully, but when I arrived he was already in conference with Lucky Luke Skywalker, so I hovered outside the door, and I kinda heard what they were talking about.
Skywalker was telling Chayni how a Sith had attacked him on Trangor Prime. Apparently there were these two force sensitive babies on Trangor Prime, and Luke and his posse were heading for them, cos they were creating a majorly big disturbance thingy in the Force. Well, once they got to the babies there was a Sith dude waiting for 'em, and he knocked them all out and made off with the kids, or so Luke assumed, cos when he woke up they were gone. He reckons this Sith guy wants them for apprentices, cos they were so Force-sensitive. He urged Chayni to let him look for the Sith. Chayni sounded very worried and told Luke to use any and all means necessary. So at least Boba was telling the truth about one thing; the Sith being there. But Boba said he and Dengar were there for a bounty. I think Chayni's got his wires crossed about the bounty hunting fraternity attacking Trangor Prime's citizens. There must've been a bounty on the babies, thinking logically. Maybe placed by the Sith himself! But then why was the Sith on Trangor Prime to fetch them, if he placed the bounty on them? Hmm. Anyway, Chayni and Skywalker can puzzle that one out. Got my own problems at the mo'. But I bet they don't know about the bounty on the babies! I only know about that cos of what Boba told me, and what I've figured out. I'd better tell Chayni about this.

I've spoken to Chayni. He was so grateful! Actually quite sweet for a Supreme Chancellor. Pity he's a Quermian, or he'd be potential boyf material! Y'see, it's these nice, un-evil guys I should go for!
He wanted to know how I knew about the bounty, and I don't know why, but I ended up telling him the whole story, about me taking in Boba etc. He was so sympathetic, and listened to this massive crying rant I had 'bout Bo' leaving me like that. He's so kind and sympathetic, everything Boba could never be.
I was so grateful to him. I really needed someone to talk to. I'm so glad he's here for me!
Bit happier,

20th March
No improvements on the Sith front, but Chayni said my information has helped him more than I'll ever know. Sweetie! He's invited me to dinner tonight. I'm not sure if I should go, though. Not up to that yet.
Later
He holo'd me, imploring I should go. The cuteness! What a guy! Much better than that haughty sod who shall remain un-named. So, I'll go. It's at Cal's Cuisine, anyway. Talk about wining and dining! Yum, I love Mon Cal food. Joy! What a guy! Back around 10-ish! Don't wait up!
Later
Oh. My. Force. I take back everything!!! Bloody hell! Tonight has been full of bloody revelations, I tell you. And that guy, Boba Fett? I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's what gives:
Went to dinner with Chayni. He said he'd located the Sith. I was totally impressed natch, but what he said next was less impressive. He said he was the Sith. I swear I thought I misheard him. He's the Sith! Bloody hell!
He explained it all, and everything fell into place. He placed the bounty on Suli and Zaen, to get all the BHs on Trangor Prime. Then, as Supreme Chancellor, he sent the Jedi to kill the BHs, who've both been thorns in his side, so he thought he could kill two womp-rats with one stone. He went to fetch the girls himself, trusting no BH to look after 'em. But Skywalker et al had felt the girls' groovy disturbance thing in the Force and came to investigate. Not wanting to kill them before his plan reached fruition, Tular left them unconscious.
Then he met lil' ol' Boba there and tried to kill him, because he knew Bo' would tell people that the Sith were back. But Den' saved Bo', and Chayni's been trying to track down Boba since. Now he knows where he'll be, because he can use the babies as bait to lure Boba to him, and Chayni can kill him before the entire Galaxy knows the Sith are back.
At that moment it was just me, Bo' and Skywalker who knew about the Sith returning. Then Chayni said: "Three people know the truth. No-one else must. Skywalker can be contained, controlled. He will not say anything unless I instruct him to. Fett, though, will tell the highest bidder. For this he must die. You, Senator Alorida, will tell everyone, because you are compassionate, and think everyone deserves to know the truth."
"Why are you telling me this?" I asked, still not quite sure I was hearing correctly. "Because," he said, "I think you have a right to know why I am going to kill you." And then, I felt an invisible hand at my throat, like I know countless Imperials under Vader had before me. We were sitting on a balcony, away from the other Cal's patrons, so no-one noticed. Chayni levitated me off my chair, and over to the edge of the balcony. He followed me and I managed to kick him. His power over me loosened and I screamed. Everyone in Cal's looked at us. I heard Chayni curse, and he tightened his hold round my throat. I thought I was going to die then, but I heard this noise, like a jetpack, and saw a foot collide with Chayni's head. He went over the edge of the balcony, dragging me down with him. I caught a glimpse of a Mandalorian helmet before I fell, and I realised how much I love Bo'. I saw him dive after us, as me and Chayni were plummeting from the top of a 2000 storey building, and he shot at Tular, and then the strangle-hold round my neck was gone. I saw Chayni land in a 'Speeder, but I carried on falling. Guess what? Boba caught me, the fantastic God in Mandalorian armour that he is. As it was rush-hour Coruscant, a massive cheer was given for Bo' and me. I pulled off his helmet when we landed, and he looked all 'wide-eyed innocent lil' clone' at me. I melted then and forgave him, and totally kissed him in front of everyone on Coruscant, including this Holo-News™ crew. I don't think he was too embarrassed. Then he was all Mr Darcy and carried me in his arms back to the apartment. Force, but he's fine. I explained about the whole 'Chayni's the Sith' thing, and he was like "I figured it out". I love him. The entire galaxy's in shock though. The Supreme Chancellor was a Sith AGAIN, so poo. Holo-News™ did a two hour special on the whole thing. I think me and Bo' are celebrities now. Urk. I holo'd Den' too, to apologise and tell the truth and stuff. He was cool though. Glad that everything turned out ok. I think everything's going to be fine.
A very loved-up

Correllia was too far to take him. You were nearest. Please, Forn'."
I couldn't refuse. Bounty hunter or not, no-one deserves to die prematurely. So I go "Sure. Who's this friend anyway?" and Dengar goes "Boba Fett."
I swear I nearly had heart failure. I kind of croaked "What? The Boba Fett?" and Dengar went all sarcastically "No, the other Boba Fett. Of course the Boba Fett!"

He holo'd me, imploring I should go. The cuteness! What a guy! Much better than that haughty sod who shall remain un-named. So, I'll go. It's at Cal's Cuisine, anyway. Talk about wining and dining! Yum, I love Mon Cal food. Joy! What a guy! Back around 10-ish! Don't wait up!
Later
Oh. My. Force. I take back everything!!! Bloody hell! Tonight has been full of bloody revelations, I tell you. And that guy, Boba Fett? I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's what gives:
Went to dinner with Chayni. He said he'd located the Sith. I was totally impressed natch, but what he said next was less impressive. He said he was the Sith. I swear I thought I misheard him. He's the Sith! Bloody hell!
He explained it all, and everything fell into place. He placed the bounty on Suli and Zaen, to get all the BHs on Trangor Prime. Then, as Supreme Chancellor, he sent the Jedi to kill the BHs, who've both been thorns in his side, so he thought he could kill two womp-rats with one stone. He went to fetch the girls himself, trusting no BH to look after 'em. But Skywalker et al had felt the girls' groovy disturbance thing in the Force and came to investigate. Not wanting to kill them before his plan reached fruition, Tular left them unconscious.
Then he met lil' ol' Boba there and tried to kill him, because he knew Bo' would tell people that the Sith were back. But Den' saved Bo', and Chayni's been trying to track down Boba since. Now he knows where he'll be, because he can use the babies as bait to lure Boba to him, and Chayni can kill him before the entire Galaxy knows the Sith are back.
At that moment it was just me, Bo' and Skywalker who knew about the Sith returning. Then Chayni said: "Three people know the truth. No-one else must. Skywalker can be contained, controlled. He will not say anything unless I instruct him to. Fett, though, will tell the highest bidder. For this he must die. You, Senator Alorida, will tell everyone, because you are compassionate, and think everyone deserves to know the truth."
"Why are you telling me this?" I asked, still not quite sure I was hearing correctly. "Because," he said, "I think you have a right to know why I am going to kill you." And then, I felt an invisible hand at my throat, like I know countless Imperials under Vader had before me. We were sitting on a balcony, away from the other Cal's patrons, so no-one noticed. Chayni levitated me off my chair, and over to the edge of the balcony. He followed me and I managed to kick him. His power over me loosened and I screamed. Everyone in Cal's looked at us. I heard Chayni curse, and he tightened his hold round my throat. I thought I was going to die then, but I heard this noise, like a jetpack, and saw a foot collide with Chayni's head. He went over the edge of the balcony, dragging me down with him. I caught a glimpse of a Mandalorian helmet before I fell, and I realised how much I love Bo'. I saw him dive after us, as me and Chayni were plummeting from the top of a 2000 storey building, and he shot at Tular, and then the strangle-hold round my neck was gone. I saw Chayni land in a 'Speeder, but I carried on falling. Guess what? Boba caught me, the fantastic God in Mandalorian armour that he is. As it was rush-hour Coruscant, a massive cheer was given for Bo' and me. I pulled off his helmet when we landed, and he looked all 'wide-eyed innocent lil' clone' at me. I melted then and forgave him, and totally kissed him in front of everyone on Coruscant, including this Holo-News™ crew. I don't think he was too embarrassed. Then he was all Mr Darcy and carried me in his arms back to the apartment. Force, but he's fine. I explained about the whole 'Chayni's the Sith' thing, and he was like "I figured it out". I love him. The entire galaxy's in shock though. The Supreme Chancellor was a Sith AGAIN, so poo. Holo-News™ did a two hour special on the whole thing. I think me and Bo' are celebrities now. Urk. I holo'd Den' too, to apologise and tell the truth and stuff. He was cool though. Glad that everything turned out ok. I think everything's going to be fine.
A very loved-up
