Chapter 3:
The Millennium Falcon made it's descent and landed on the platform on Naboo. The skyline itself was vastly empty. The crew aboard the ship watched as they passed countless waterfalls and beautiful green hills. Leia pointed out some of the ornate dome shaped buildings and homes.
When the ship finally docked, Luke stepped out first with R2-D2 trailing slightly beside him.
"Well,
you've been here before R2, lead the way." R2 made an
enthusiastic response and began to roll out in front of the
group.
Han stepped out next, followed by Leia. Leia cautiously
looked around her and folded her arms across her chest. Han stopped
and turned.
"What's wrong your worship? Let's get a move on, huh?" He came up behind her and started pushing her off the dock. Leia finally cracked a smile. She shoved him off, called him a name, then continued behind C-3PO who had walked around their play fighting.
Luke glanced behind him and smiled at the two. "Come on, R2 is anxious to get on his way."
R2 led them through the docking gate and out onto a large plaza. People walked around, happy people, unconcerned with how long it took to get to their business. They dressed in semi-bright colors, with head scarves and ornate designs. Leia looked down at her own outfit, a tan plain number that showed off no assets. Suddenly, Han's hand came to her chin and tilted it up.
"You're as beautiful as anyone here, if not more." She shrugged his unexpected affection off and continued to follow Luke and R2.
Down they went into the streets, each one looking identical to the next. Chewbacca, having stayed on the ship to watch it, and to make sure no one became frightened by a seven foot Wookie, would keep in touch. R2 slowed between a couple of streets then rolled on towards an ornate two story home. It's steps winded up to the front door and the street around it seemed deserted.
Luke took a deep breath, then turned to Leia. "I think this is it."
Leia furrowed her brow. "I think so too." Luke took Leia's hand and they began their way up the stairs. They got to the front door and knocked. C-3PO stayed at the bottom, while Han and R2 climbed up.
When the door finally opened, an old woman answered.
"Hello? Do I know you?" She wore a long green gown and a head piece that was round and covered her hair. A man came up behind her, older as well, and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Jobal, who's there?" The old man stepped up beside her. "Hello, may I help you?"
JJobal's eyes squinted at Leia. "You look so familiar," she said.
Luke blinked then finally spoke up. "My name is Luke Skywalker. And this is my sister Leia. I believe we're related to you, through our mother…Padme."
Hahaha, you'll have to wait to get the rest! Ha! Sorry. I need to think out all I want to happen in the next scene but it should be up this weekend.
