Days had turned into months, and the wars had turned even more gruesome. Jedi deaths were more common then ever, and fear of losing a loved one was one the primary feeling. Battles had exploded through out the galaxy, and of course, Faye was in them. Her latest exploration had lead her to the desert planet of Tatooine.

The planet was hot and sand stricken, with vast blue skies. Faye, dressed in Jedi Master gear walked quietly with the young Jedi Zett Jukassa. Zett's dark and strict blue eyes observed the port they entered. "Where are we?" he asked. Faye slipped on her hood and jumped from the podracer she had brought.

"Mos Eisley. A rather nasty place, a place where we can find the scum of the earth. Mostly Cloud City gamblers come here that gamble over a Sabacc game...and sometimes even more gruesome people. Anakin told me all of this." she said, smiling slightly. It had been 4 months since she had last seen Anakin, but he had been busy living up to his name as one of the most powerful Jedi, if not the most powerful. The young woman helped Zett down, and both continued on their way to the Mos Eisley Cantina. As Faye walked, she felt her arm being grabbed. Suddenly, her lightsaber was up in her hands and ready for motion. As she peered at the face, a bright pair of brown eyes fearfully looked at her. The voice that spoke was soft.

"Please, Jedi Master Dreydar, I need your help." Faye's eyes went wide. Padme! Zett watched this, his eyes darting.

"Zett. Go into the cantina and order yourself a drink. I've got business to take care of." Faye said, hiding a smile under her stern manner. Zett simply bowed and walked towards to cantina. Faye motioned for Padme to follow her into a small dark alley. Padme looked around and slowly took off her hood and let brown curls fall around her delicate face. Faye quickly bowed to her. Padme waved the bow away.

"Faye, please. You yourself are royalty. And one of the finest masters around. I need your help most efficiently. You see...I.-"

"You're pregnant, and you've had a dream." Faye spoke. Padme stared at her flabbergasted and nodded slowly. Faye bit her lip and ran a creamy hand through her thick braids. A dream and pregnancy? Where's Anakin when you need him? "Perhaps you are better off not living on Bespin. There are many people around who are against you, Miss. It's very dangerous." Padme watched the young girl carefully. Of course Faye was right in all manner, but the senator wanted to stay there. She wanted to make it the least obvious that she was in love with Anakin, that she was carrying his children. But there was truth in the young jedi's words and she bit her lip in return.

"Have you heard from Anakin? I...I haven't for a while. The rumor is he's been killed but I know it's true. It can't be. Surely someone would have...felt it?" she said, her voice slightly quavering. Faye laid a hand on her shoulder.

" No, Senator. He is still alive." She burrowed her eyebrows slightly. "There is though, a disturbance in The Force with him. He seems to be darker...a lot darker. And..."she stopped suddenly."

A sudden crash was heard in her head.

"Padme. Has he been around Chancellor Palpatine?"

"...Yes. Most interestingly he has. He's gone on about a power.that can save me...that only..."

Both young women looked at each other.

There was danger ahead.
