Chapter 2
~ Naboo ~
Kerri spent all night tossing and turning for the first time that night her thoughts returned to home. She wondered what was going to happen when her mother discovered she was gone and would not be able to find her? Then Kerri wondered if she was given the chance would she even want to return home? Kerri turned over again when she felt a sharp tap on her foot. Kerri sat up looking around. Kerri nearly fell off her bed (more like a hammock) in surprise. An image of Yoda in a ghost form was sitting on her bed. Kerri looked around nobody else had noticed a thing they were all asleep with nothing to bother them."Kerri help Luke and his family you will." Yoda said pointing a green finger at her twitching his pointy ears to the sides. "But I - "There is much to learn for you I afraid." Yoda said smiling. "What are you talking about?" Kerri asked. "Become a Jedi become one with the Force it is deep within you and learn it you will." Yoda cocked his head to the side. "How do you know I'll learn it?" Kerri snapped back tired of everything being out of her control. "Because want it you do." Yoda smiled. "Fine can I go back to sleep?" Kerri asked. "First marry Solo you will." "Solo's married." Kerri said rolling her eyes. "Not youngest Solo." Kerri's mouth dropped open when Yoda pointed to Anakin. "The Force fine. Anakin hell no." Kerri argued. "Such small world it is. Sleep in peace." Yoda disappeared. "That was too bloody weird." Kerri groaned and lay back down. To her surprise for the first time that night sleep did come to her.
Anakin looked at the sleeping figure of Kerri as her hammock swayed gently from the force of the landing. Why had Leia given him this task when Jacen would have been all for it? Anakin shook his head using relaxing techniques his Uncle had taught him taking a deep breath Anakin shook Kerri awake. "Oh it's you." Kerri buried her face in the pillows. "Wake up please? Mum wants us to go into the city and buy some breakfast." Kerri sat up. Anakin was wearing a brown shirt with a brown jacket and dark brown pants. "What in the world is going on?" Kerri asked him. "Breakfast." Anakin threw a white top with a scoop neck and blue pants on her bed. "As soon as you're done get dressed come out and we'll get our instructions." Anakin said leaving the exit ramp. Kerri got herself up and changed into the clothes that Jaina had given her. Kerri shook her brown hair and walked down the exit ramp head held high.
Anakin watched out of the corner of his eyes as Kerri walked down the exit ramp. It was amazingly how much like his mother this girl looked like. "Hey morning we were wondering if you'd ever wake up." Jacen said smiling. Kerri returned the boy's smile shyly looking around at the beautiful scenery around her. Naboo was a green and blue planet as it had many jungles, cities with growing things, and of course lakes. The Falcon had been landed on the edge of one jungle while near a huge city. Kerri approached Anakin and Leia taking as slow as she dared. Leia smiled warmly when she saw Kerri. Kerri and Anakin glared at each other. Leia chuckled a little.
"You two will have to go into town and buy us some food. We have an emergency pack but we need extra. Here is some Naboo credit." Leia said. "Do I have to go with HIM?" Kerri asked pointedly. "Do you even know how to spend Naboo credits? The answer is no." Anakin smirking. "Ignorance is bliss." Kerri said shrugging. "You look pretty happy." Anakin commented. Kerri rolled her eyes at him. "As a matter of fact I'm not." Kerri muttered following him as he led the way into the city. "Stay close." Anakin approached the city's gate. It was a black Iron Gate at least the size of a football field height wise. It served two purposes one to guard the city and one to grow beautiful hanging roses on some sections of the fence and ivy on the other. "They built this when the Shadow Academy became a real threat." Anakin informed her. "What's the Shadow Academy?" Kerri asked as Anakin pulled on the rope. A bell rang through out the city. A small circle window was opened near Anakin's height. A guard peered through. "Who desires admittance to the City?" "Anakin Solo son of Chief of state Leia Organo Solo of the New Republic." Anakin dropped in a whisper, "Guards and royal of the city are only allowed to be told that not anyone else. Oh and don't mention that your not from the galaxy." Anakin said. "I wasn't planning on it." Kerri replied curtly. Anakin sighed and waited till the gates were pulled open.
Walking through the City looking for the market Anakin informed Kerri about the Shadow Academy. "Why couldn't I have stayed at home yesterday?" Kerri wondered aloud. "It would have happened anyway." Anakin said looking at her for the first time. Kerri stopped walking as Anakin caught her eye. "Which direction should we head in?" Kerri said withdrawing her gaze. "Uh this way." Anakin said shaking his head and continuing on. They found a quiet little restaurant on the edge of town. It was the Dawn of the Lily's. Lily's were grown from the top of the building to hang down. Anakin and Kerri ducked under the Lily's as they opened the door.
"They like growing things don't they?" Kerri asked shaking flower petals out of her hair. "They bring out your eyes." Anakin teased her. "Like you care!" Kerri shot back. A woman behind a counter smiled at them. She wore blue and gold robes and was almost as tall as Anakin. "Hello there and what can I do for you?" Sabe' asked. "We'd like some rolls and few slices of meat." Anakin said handing Sabe' the money. "Yes Master Anakin." Sabe' said smiling. "How do you know my name?" Anakin asked startled. "You look like your Grandfather." Sabe' answered simply. "You knew my grandparents?" Anakin asked in an awed voice. "Of course everyone here knows of them you see your Grandmother was Queen of the Naboo people when she met your father. She served as Naboo Senator in the Old Republic. I was her maid Sabe'." Kerri smiled thinly she knew that story too though under entirely different circumstances. Sabe' handed them their bread, meat and change and soon Anakin and Kerri were on their way.
"What took you two so long?" Jacen demanded when they got back. Jacen had short brown hair, blue eyes and was slightly on the tall side. He had pale white skin. "We ran into an old friend of Grandma's." Anakin said shrugging. Anakin had sandy brown hair, blue eyes and almost as tall as his father Han. "My mother?" Luke asked interested. Luke had blonde hair, blue eyes and was as tall as his twin sister Leia. "Yep she was one of her maid's." Anakin said simply shrugging. "Well let's eat and then decide what to do." Leia said brushing her long brown hair out of her brown eyes. Chewbacca decided to start the conversation. "Well, we need to fix the Falcon before we go anywhere or DECIDE anything." Han said shrugging sitting down next to his wife. He had dark brown shaggy hair that fell into his brown eyes. Han laid the Blaster gun on the table. "Han how many times have I told you not to keep the guns at the table?" Leia scolded slapping him on the neck. "Yes dear." Han said placing the gun on the bench. Kerri smiled a genuine smile for the first time since getting onto the Falcon.
Jaina and Lowie worked on the Falcon with Han and Chewbacca. Jaina kept brushing her hair out of the way impatiently. "Why don't you try pulling your hair up sometime that way you can spend more time fixing things than bothering with your hair." Leia teased. "Thanks for the offer but no way mum I have no time to fix my hair up." Jaina said. "I'm Chief of state on the run from Storm troopers and I still have time to fix my hair." Leia responded grinning. Melissa stretched her legs out on the grass reading her novel. Stacy was watching Jaina and Lowie closely occasionally helping out with suggestions. Kerri paced near the ship restlessly. Her head snapped up when she saw people coming towards them. "There's someone coming!" Kerri said running to the ship. "I don't see anyone." Han said looking where Kerri was looking. "But they are!" Kerri protested. "Who is it?" Luke asked. "It's the Queen of Naboo and some of her people I think." Kerri said.
A few minutes later and time proved her right. The Queen of Naboo was escorted into the clearing they were hiding in. The Naboo palace guards wore navy blue uniforms and belts with their guns in their sides. The maids of the Queen wore orange outfits with their own hidden weapons. The queen had long blonde hair twisted up into a fan shape in the back of her head. She wore white face paint and lots of makeup so that you could barely see her green eyes. The Queen was the same height as her maid's and that was not very tall.
The Queen faced Han and Leia Luke, Kerri and bowed. "Leia Organa Chief of State of the New Republic welcome to Naboo." The Queen bowed. "Thank you." Leia said regaining composure. "I am the Queen Lilly." Lily said looking at them all. "I was hoping to get to speak with Leia Organa Solo and to you." Kerri looked startled at being mentioned. The maids murmured among themselves. "Please we will escort you to the Palace and allow my men to fix your ship." Lilly implored. Luke nodded and silently everyone followed the Queen and her men back into the heart of Naboo.
Kerri followed Anakin closely while trying to make it look like she wasn't. Stacy and Melissa were chattering away to Jaina, Jacen, Tenel Ka and Lowie. Kerri felt extremely dumb why had she ignored their warning? The group reached the Palace in half an hour's time. Melissa had even put her book away to study the new surroundings along with her friends.
The Palace guards opened the doors and led them into the Throne room. Lilly sat down on the throne before her guards showed Han, Leia, Luke, Jaina, Jacen, Melissa, Stacy, Chewbacca, Lowie, Tenel Ka, Kerri, and Anakin seats. To her surprise Kerri found herself on the right hand side of the Queen.
"Leia the Naboo will be willing to participate in the New Republic. We have tried to contact you but it never got through I guess. I understand from one of my men you are in some kind of trouble with the rebels who vow to restart the Old Republic, My men can get you all safely to Yavin four. You are all invited to stay at the Palace under our protection until your ship is repaired. I have some negotiations that I am sure will help the Republic and ourselves." Lilly said sitting up straight. "Tael Korel you will show them to their living quarters." Tael Korel stood up and everyone followed her.
Kerri looked around the beautiful gold and red decorated oak- furnished room that she was placed in. At the foot of a bed was a small bath like a pool with lots of flowers growing around it. The air was thick with the smell of flowers. Kerri's door led out onto the Balcony, which was shared by all but each with their own section divided by more growing things. Naboo flowers were not ordinary flowers they were well kept and wild and bright beautiful colors like orange, blue, red, and yellow. It was still a sight to see,
Kerri stepped onto the Balcony breathing in the fresh air. The city had beautiful architecture big dome buildings with tall turrets. Kerri felt a tap on her shoulder she whirled around. "You scared me." Kerri said as polite as she could. "I am sorry My Lady the Queen wishes to talk to you and Luke alone." Tael Korel said leading Kerri down the hall.
"I have come before you in a matter of utmost importance to Naboo and it's survival." Lilly said. "What is the matter?" Luke asked. "Before me there was a Queen named Helen who ruled longer than the people said before the law's of this land. Helen then threw her true identity as a witch in the study of the dark magic. Not the Force for the Force is different then magic. True they have some same properties but that is what happened. Helen was thrown out of Naboo but her daughter Ala Yan stayed as not being found guilty of witchcraft. Ala pushed to be allowed back in the Government system. She won many supporters but was not made Queen as her mother wished. Ala let her self out but before she did she cursed the Queen Atelein. She said that Atelein would have a daughter of her own who would rule after her mother die and start a new form of Government. Ala left. Atelein was soon great with child but her cousin who was not in government but civic duties as a guard to her friend and queen was also due with child. Atelein's own child died at childbirth but Ala did not know this. Ala intended to kidnap the Queen's only child and take her as her own to regain honor and riches. Kierra Atelein's cousin gave her child to the Queen to raise as her own. Kierra went on serving the government as a guard to the Queen and the small child. Mother tutored child telling her at young age to call the Queen mother. One day while child and tutor were out in the City Ala attacked mistaking the child as the Princess and took the child to some unknown land. Long ago a prophecy was researched that should the child return she will come with the Force to be trained as a Jedi not knowing who she was to come back to us." Lilly stated. Kerri listened with wide eyes. "And you think its Kerri?" Luke asked. "We do. Kerri must accept her duty as Queen when my two years are done except we will have her elected as Queen. If she accepts Naboo will thrive as it always done. If she does not then we will end, as we know it. We need her to be trained as a Jedi what do you say? You will have the best tutors." Lilly looked at Kerri hopefully so did Tael Korel. "I will." Kerri said in a voice that didn't seem like hers. "Those words are well chosen. Tael Korel will come with you under the disguise as another Jedi student if Master Luke agrees with it." "Agreed." "In two days my men will have your ship ready. I would escort you back to Yavin four but Ala is still alive and deadly. She runs a small mercenary her self and is proving to be a greater threat than the rebels. Naboo wishes to help the Chief of State by protecting trade ships that use the atmosphere around Naboo. I will talk to Leia more of this. Come there is much to be done and we have no time."
Kerri was taken to new quarters furnished in blue and silver as she had told Tael Korel that those were her favorite colors. Part of Kerri was wishing she'd stay home and didn't come but part of Kerri was excited. Unknown paths were ahead of her and that was how she had lived her life in the other world.
The next morning Kerri was woken up early by several other palace guards or "maidens". Kerri let them choose an outfit but dressed her self. Kerri looked at her self in the mirror. A blue skirt with a white almost like tank top. Kerri would be glad to go to the Jedi academy where she could where whatever she liked. And Blue jeans and T-shirts suited her just fine. However she doubted they had THAT there.
Kerri ran about with Jacen, Jaina, Stacy, Tenel Ka, Lowie and Anakin while the "adults" made negotiations. Kerri had not mentioned the role in Naboo she'd play later she kept this secret to herself. "You all right?" Jacen asked as Kerri spaced out for the fourth time in the Palace library that the librarian was showing them around. "No I'm fine just lost in thought." Kerri said forcing herself to smile. "You sure?" Jacen asked. "I'm FINE." Kerri repeated. "You don't sound it." Anakin observed a slight sneer on his face. "Like you care." Was Kerri's reply. Anakin shrugged, "Suit yourself." "I do." Kerri marched to the entrance of the library and waited for the others.
The next morning Tael Korel helped Kerri pack her things, which included new clothing, but no skirts Kerri had insisted upon that. Tael Korel wore brown loose Jedi robes. Kerri put on the jeans and T- shirt she had worn the day she had fallen into Han's ship.
Anakin, Jacen, Jaina, Lowie, and Tenel Ka left the doorway that led into the Palace's docking hanger first. Kerri hung back to speak a few words with Lilly. "The Fate of Naboo is in your hands choose wisely the choices you make." Lilly said bowing. Melissa, Stacy, Kerri, Tael Korel walked out into the Hanger with Luke as soon as they did so Blaster bolts went whizzing past and over them. Kerri had to duck before she grabbed the gun underneath her robes.
Storm troopers and palace guards filled the room there were several dead bodies on the floor. Leia made sure her children got on safely while Luke took Kerri and Tael Korel on bored. Han got Melissa and Stacy safely on. As the ship got ready for Hyper space jump they watched the Queen escape the storm troopers safely and her men whip the storm troopers ass.
Kerri watched as Naboo faded in the starlight. Kerri had no idea what was going to happen next but she was looking forward to it.
(Editor's note: I hope this chapter makes some sort of sense if it doesn't at least the explanation of why I am even there than I plead lack of sleep. I wrote it when I was really tired.)
