Luke, Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Padme then landed in one of the little Naboo villages, and parked their speeders.
"Master, are you alright?" Anakin said seeing Obi Wan kind of shaky.
Obi Wan then literally jumped out of the speeder, fell, and yelled, "LAND!"
"What did you do to him?" Anakin asked suspiciously.
"Nothing!" Luke protested. "I just drove the speeder..."
"Oh..." Anakin said. "He doesn't really like flying much..."
"I can tell..." Luke said glancing at Obi Wan.
Obi Wan then used the force to clam himself down. Luke was a horrible driver, along with Anakin. Both had loved speed and Obi Wan could tell that the driving and speeding trait ran in the family. Literally.
"Obi Wan, are you alright?" Padme asked. "Is there anything we can do?"
"Oh don't' worry about me, I'm fine," Obi Wan said as if the whole thing never happened. "Luke, you're a horrible driver," Obi Wan added as Luke chuckled. "But then again, same with Anakin," Obi Wan added making Anakin smirk.
"Ok, well we're supposed to meet at the bar called Treasure Cove..." Padme said glancing down the village, which was surrounded with huts, tents, and some small buildings, it was fairly small. "To the right, it's the small one in the corner," She said after locating where the Treasure Cove was.
"Padme, I must ask that you stay near one of us at all times," Obi Wan pointed out, "You are still in danger, and being in this place isn't exactly the safest place..." Obi Wan then looked around and saw a few gangs, gambling, and fights around them.
"I thank you for your concern," Padme said.
"I didn't know Naboo had a place like this..." Anakin said looking around.
"Well...places change over the years, let's go,"
"Yes Milady," Anakin said giving out his arm to escort Padme, who slipped her arm in his. "Shall we get going now?"
"Yes," Padme smiled, "My own personal escort..."
Who seriously can't tell they don't like each other? Luke thought.
Obi Wan, Luke, Anakin and Padme, in a few moments time, then arrived at the bar. Once inside, the place was crowded and loud. All kind of species where dancing around, drinking, and gambling. Padme seemed to scan the area, then said, "Over there!" And dragged Anakin along with her as Luke and Obi Wan tried to follow without getting lost.
On the table where Padme had led Anakin was no other then our favorite/most hated Gungan...
Jar Jar Binks
NO! Anakin almost yelled, as he started to back away, but Padme grabbed his arm before he could go any further. This is IMPOSSIBLE! Why HIM! WHY!
At that moment, Obi Wan was about to grab a drink and smack himself on the head. Out of all of the people, Jar Jar Binks! This isn't happening, this isn't' happening, this ISN"T happening! Obi Wan thought furiously, No, it's a mistake! A simple mistake! Obi Wan then used the force to see if Jar Jar was indeed the Gungan they where supposed to meet, and he was. No no no! The force is wrong! Obi Wan thought, but how could it be wrong?
I thought we'd never have to meet him again... Anakin told Obi Wan
I feel your pain...
We're doomed...
I'm sure he's not that bad... Luke said telepathically.
Yes he is! Obi Wan and Anakin yelled telepathicly.
Well he did give the Chancellor Emergency Powers... Luke said referring to the Republic's doom.
The only useful thing he did too Anakin added.
"Jar Jar, Obi Wan and Ani here wanted to ask you some questions and see if you could help them with something..." Padme said.
"PADME! OBI! ANI! Mesa been wondering what happen to yousa!" Jar Jar said happily jumping up, and making the table crash down along with everything on it.
"I can see your point actually..." Luke whispered to Obi Wan and Anakin who nodded.
"What are you doing in here?" Obi Wan said looking around. This wasn't the place for a person like Jar Jar to be in. And by the looks of it, Jar Jar had been gambling and loosing a lot. Obi Wan then grabbed a chair and sat at the table with Jar Jar.
"News of ze Chancellor made mesa go in here ya. Lots of talk, good way to get information and play Sabbac!"
"Oh, I see, could you possibly tell us where this disk came from?" Anakin rushed, taking out the disk. The sooner they got out of here the better .
"hoose yoursa fwreind?" Jar Jar asked glancing at Luke, "Looks lotta like Ani! Relative?"
"No, This is Luke Starkiller, he's not related to me..." Anakin said.
Little do you know... Obi Wan thought.
"Nice meeting yousa...Mesa Jar Jar Binks!"
"Jar Jar," Luke nodded, "Could you help us find where this disk came from?" Luke added grabbing the disk from Anakin.
Jar Jar than looked at the disk and gasped. "Mesa-WE made it! The Government officers asked mesa to make them one! Very good price too we gots!"
"What does it do exactly?"
"This has been altered with, but it still has it's shield intact with a few destruct things! They've have made it beta it's not the Water weapons wesa always use!"
"Who told you to make it again?"
"His name was uh...he had scary red lightsaber, white hair, a Jedi no doubt. Something Coo Koo"
"Count Dooku..." Obi Wan acknowledged. "Did he have anybody else with him?"
"He also said it was for the Chancellor, to help aid us in the war. We made Alliances with Naboo, ya, so we help!"
"But they're on different sides!"
"That's not what he said."
"Jar Jar, you made this didn't you?" Obi Wan muttered sensing Jar Jar was exaggerating. "There was no "we" just you."
"Ah yes! Kenobi correcto mundo! Jar Jar made it meself, was playing round with a few things and vola! Count Dooku said he wanted!" Jar Jar admitted proudly.
"Did you mean earlier, that Dooku was saying that he'd use this invention of yours to help the separatists in the war?"
"Nope, he said it was for the Chancellor."
Hm...could it be that the Chancellor and Count Dooku where really on the same side? That they where both really Siths? No, this couldn't be. Obi Wan then immediately dismissed the idea.
"SO, Jar Jar, you sold an item that could go against us in the war!" Padme said shocked.
"Nope, it take while for them to figure out."
Padme and Jar Jar then went into politician mode again, and starting discussing all of the rumors and events that where to come.
"Do you have any headache relievers?" Luke and Anakin asked, Padme seemed to have heard this and nudged Anakin in the stomach.
"Just kidding..." Anakin muttered.
"Why Thank you Jar Jar, If you don't mind we'll be on our way now." Obi Wan said standing up.
"Can Mesa go with ya?"
"Um...We're kind of full Jar Jar, no more space..."
"Mesa can be lots of help!" Jar Jar said getting up also and knocking over a nearby table.
"Um...Jar Jar, we're really sorry and all, but if we need you then we'll try to contact you..." Obi Wan said as he left.
"Bye Bye!" Jar Jar waved as Padme and Luke waved back.
"Whew...that was close..." Obi Wan and Anakin muttered.
Naboo Repair shop.
"So, Luke, where are you from?" Padme asked as the four walked to the shop in the village. Anakin was looking slightly annoyed and Padme was starting to strike conversation a little too much.
"I traveled a lot." Luke replied. "Um...are we anywhere near the shop yet?"
"No, we've got another few miles to go, it's located in the corner too, so it may be a little hard to find." Padme said. "They should've put it in a better place."
"I've been wondering...Are you two dating?" Luke asked lamely as Anakin and Padme stopped right in their tracks.
"O-of course not!" Padme said weakly. She didn't like having to deny their love. "We're just close friends, really close friends..."
And married...
"We just haven't' seen each other in a really long time," Anakin added.
"Yes, He was a dear childhood friend of mine."
"Jedi aren't allowed to show emotions, including love. Surely you should've known that?" Anakin said. "Or are you allow to show all emotions where you live?"
"Well...actually I don't know..." Luke admitted. "Where I live, we never really had the council and the whole system."
"Well, consider yourself lucky,"
"I really don't know about that..."
"If there are no system or anything, that means it's free for all! Anything could happen! You'd have no set of rules or laws and well...chaos!" Padme scolded going into politician mode. Luke could see a point, considering the fact that Yoda did leave and everyone well...died and where in hiding. "We may not agree with everything they say, but without it could be worse."
"You do have a point." Anakin admitted.
"Of course I do."
"Um...is that the shop there?" Luke asked.
"Yes it is." Padme confirmed walking towards the entrance.
"It looks like a dump..." Obi Wan frowned. "A really really bad and dirty dump."
"Well...better than nothing I guess." Luke sighed.
The three then walked into the store where Luke ordered the parts they needed, but Padme then had to sign her name to pay for it all. After getting the parts the three then headed towards the ship. Luke then fixed the ship's radar system with Anakin helping him.
"Do you think it's possible that Chancellor Palatine is working with Count Dooku." Obi Wan said. "I honestly think it's impossible, but at this point we shouldn't doubt anything.
"But that is impossible!" Padme said defending the Chancellor.
"At this point, I don't think we should deny anything," Luke said.
"Ah...so things are going according to plan..." The emperor smiled wickedly on a hologram.
"Yes, my lord. We shall now attempt to kill Kenobi," Count Dooku said.
"I believe it will turn Skywalker to the dark side-unleash his anger at us. If you can, then kidnap the Senator, we can use her as blackmail, making more of an effect."
"Yes, I shall tell Ventress about it." Count Dooku bowed as the
"I also sense a disturbance in the force, we must also investigate what this is." Dark Sidious said before his hologram dissapeared.
