Finally I was in close enough orbit to the Outcast. I really can't believe I'm finally here. But it is just one step closer to finding Diani. But as soon as I enter the ship, the old memories will come rushing back into my head when I step out of my jet and step onto the old rusty floor of the old west wing garage.
I still remember some of the pathways, but the main hall would be the best way to go.
I'm trying to sneak through the halls unnoticed so that no one will see me. They all had the impression that the Jedi had kidnapped me. But then as soon as I remember the closest way to the tracking control center is passing straight through the dormitories.
As soon as I see that hall, a tall red-haired girl opens her door and turns facing me. She stands there for a moment squinting as if I was hard to see, but then stands up straight with a confused expression on her face.
I do the same and then realize its-
"Padme!" the girl comes rushing down the hall and then squeezes me into a hug.
"Rime?" I ask in disbelief.
"For Force's sake Padme! Your gorgeous!" my former best friend compliments.
"Are you insane? You've gotten so tall and your hair is so pretty!" I say admiring her long curly hair.
"What are you doing here?"
I tell Rime my whole story from as soon as I left the ship. Then to go onto telling her about Diani.
"That's awful", says Rime finally getting a word in after my long explanation. "I'll take you to the center right now, but can we please stop at my boyfriend's place. He's been so busy and its close to our two year anniversary."
"Sure." I say thinking about what childhood snob she's dating.
We begin chatting about what's been going on and she starts to describe how much her boyfriend, Haurio, has changed. All I can remember him is as an annoying little snob who always threw a fit when her lost a game.
We finally reach his dorm which is at the end of the hall.
"Do you think I should surprise him?" Rime asks eagerly.
"Do you think he's asleep or something?" I respond.
"No, he's usually just hanging out. I'll just jump in and give him a little scare." She smiles mischievously probably thinking about things that would regularly sicken my mind.
She quietly turns the doorknob and the door swings open revealing a dreadful sight.
Haurio is under his covers with another large lump, obviously a person. I turn to my side to see Rime frozen in shock about what she is seeing.
"What the Hell is going on!" she hollers.
"Rime? This is not what it looks like." He lies.
"What do you think this shit looks like?" she screams, her eyes watering.
"Really it's not" he pleads, still inside the covers.
"I have spent two years of my life being with you and you don't even have the respect to just break up with me before you do this?" Rime now has tears streaming down her eyes, a mixture of anger and sadness.
"I don't want to break up with you." He begs.
"I can't take this right now." Says Rime as she walks right outside the door to calm down.
I take a few more steps closer to the bed.
"You asswipe!" I scream. "You lowlife jackass freak! If I ever see you hurting Rime again, I will come over here and get the largest object I can find and shove it up your ass while watching you squeal!"
"Yeeeesss." He manages to murmur out.
Just then Rime stomps back into the room. "Since you didn't even have the courtesy to break up with me instead of cheating, at least let me know who you're screwing around with." She demands.
"I-I-I can't" he stammers.
"I want to see why you like her so much more than me. I just want to see how pretty she is." Says Rime sarcastically.
Rime then marches over to the bed and pulls a part of the blanket cloaking the girl's head. She rips off the blanket revealing a pretty girl with short, straight, brown hair…in other words, my sister, Diani.
"Diani!" I yell in shock.
"Padme!" she yelps back.
"What the hell are you doing here!" I ask.
"What the hell are you doing here?" she yells annoyed.
"Looking for you!" I holler so loud making Haurio cringe in fear.
"That's Diani?" yells Rime.
"Rime, I am so sorry about my sister. I had no idea. She left a note saying she had been kidnapped." I explain.
"It's not your fault. I'll see you later." She says giving me a hug.
"Diani, get your clothes on." I order.
"No. I am grown up and am not a child." She argues.
"You left scaring the whole family to death thinking you are dead or worse. You scared the hell out of your nieces. Now get your clothes on!" I holler.
"No!"
"Diani, I really suggest you listen to Padme. I've seen her like this and it isn't pretty." Squeaks Haurio.
Diani finally gets up and puts on her half a dress. "Let's go."
"Where are we going?" she asks smartly.
"Home."
"NO! I ran away to get away from there. I am not going." She argues once more.
By this time I've had enough, so I pick her up using the force and throw her outside the dorm and then pull her up.
"When I say we're going. WE'RE GOING!" I screech.
Diani and I begin to walk down one of the main hallways when she suddenly stops.
"This isn't fair. You're not even listening to me at all."
"You caused a great amount of stress on the whole family! You could've done something else!"
"Ok, so maybe I should've done something else. But I want to stay with Haurio!" she screams.
"NO! We're going!" I yell.
"You should understand! YOU WERE A SITH LORD!"
"I NEVER SCREWED ANY SITHS!"
Then I hear a thump and turn around to see a tall man beginning to walk towards us.
"Padme?" I hear, but can't really see his face, for this hallway isn't lighted very well.
The man keeps coming forward.
"Anakin?" I say in disbelief.
"What are you doing here?" we both ask at the same time.
"The Sith alarms have gone off and they're after me. My ship is at the other side." He explains.
"My stupid sister here", I say giving Diani a hard nudge, "decided she would like to screw around with some Siths, so I came and got here. We were heading to my ship on the south end. Follow me".
The three of us rush down the hall and eventually reach the jet. I open the garage and then Anakin grabs the steering wheel and rush us out of the ship.
After about an hour Diani falls asleep in the back and I sit up front with Anakin.
Anakin then turns the ship onto autopilot and I get up and sit on his lap.
For the next half an hour, the kisses deepen and we begin to make out.
Then Anakin breaks the kiss and I automatically know its time for his interrogation.
"Padme, what were you really doing on that ship?" he asks.
To avoid the subject, I wrap my arms around his neck and begin another kiss that only lasts for about one minute.
"Padme, please tell me." He begs.
I groan in disappointment, "I was really going to use the tracking system because its one of the best ones in the galaxy." I explain.
"How could you get on?"
"I know some people on there and I knew they could help me. Can we please get back to before?" I plead.
"Ok" was his last words for the flight home until we reached Naboo…
