Chapter 7: Antiquing with Yami

After the week had passes, Liz had begun to feel better, and pretty soon she was able to go back to school. As she did, her classmates hailed her as a hero, but Liz was still worried about the other bullies and gangs at the school, as well as the stigmata that having Darth Vader as your grandfather that ran in the family.

During the morning announcements, the principal stated, "Because I am leaving town for two days, there will be no school, as the teachers have board meeting scheduled. This goes into effect in one hour, so have a nice day."

Whoops came from all around, so the teachers let the kids out early. Yami was surprised by the announcement, "Since when do you get two days off from school because your principal is off on vacation?" Liz shook her head, "I have no idea. So, what do you want to do, Yami?"

Yami thought for a minute, and replied, "Well, I was interested in seeing some of the older stores here in Imperial City." Liz agreed, "Wizard! We can go antiquing!" So off they went.

Imperial City's most reputable antique shops were quite a walk from Liz's school, so she had to take an airbus. Little did she know that she and Yami were being followed by a weird guy with the Sennen Ankh, and a pair of macrobinoculars.

As soon as the bus arrived at the destination, Liz hopped off, followed by the weird guy, who stayed far enough behind not to be noticed. He wasn't, but people did stare at him. Who wore a bathrobe broad daylight, anyway?

Liz passed several large stores, until she came to a smaller one several blocks from the airbus stop. "Why are we stopping here," Yami inquired. "Because,
Liz explained, "the woman who runs this store was my Granma's handmaiden when she ruled Naboo."

Yami asked, "Who was your grandmother?" "She was Queen Amidala, and she was 14 when she met Grampa on Tatooine. I'll tell you the story sometime," Liz explained. She then entered the store, and greeted the owner, "Good afternoon, Sabe."

The older woman turned around from dusting an old vase, and smiled, "Hello, Elizabeth! I'm glad to see your feeling better. Your mother told me about those awful boys who attacked you. Are you looking for something in particular?"

Liz shook her head, "No, ma'am. I'm just looking" With that, she walked off to examine the merchandise.

After explaining to Yami about what some of the stuff was, she came across something that caught her eye. "Hey, Sabe, what is this?" Liz pointed to an old leather pouch. Sabe smiled, "I got that from your brother Ben about a month ago. He was on Tatooine, and he sent it to me. He said to give this to you when you came in."

Liz wondered, "What is it?" Upon opening it, she gasped. So did Shadi, who was watching from a distance. He had entered Sabe's store while she had been in the back.

"It's the japor snippet Grampa gave Granma on their way to Coruscant, " Liz breathed! Putting it on, she admired herself in a mirror. Sabe smiled at the little girl, "With it on, you resemble Amidala perfectly! It's amazing how much you two look alike. I'm sorry she never lived long enough to see you born. She would be proud to have a grandchild named after her."

Liz nodded, and glanced at the chrono! It was lunchtime, and said to Sabe, "I have to go now, Sabe. It's lunchtime. Bye!" With that, she ran out the door into the afternoon sunshine.

Sabe shook her head, and returned to the store desk, and said to herself, "What an amazing child, that Skywalker girl. It's a sorry thing that her father has never seen her grow up! He would be so surprised how much the Force is with her, and how much she resembles her mother. Oh well, things like that just happen."

Just then, Shadi approached the desk and asked, "How do you know that little girl?" Sabe smiled sadly, "I knew her grandparents. Why does it concern you, stranger? Are you an Imperial sympathizer who thinks that the Skywalkers should be Imperials instead of the noble heroes of the Rebel Alliance?"

Shadi shook his head, "I am not with the Imperial Empire. I was just inquiring where she got the puzzle around her neck. It's odd a child would have it, much less Vader's granddaughter."

Sabe nodded, "I know, concerning Palpatine was obsessed with the legend behind the Sennen Items, considering that the Jedi Council blew it off as a child's story."

Shadi stared at her, "You know of the Sennen Items?" Sabe nodded, "Anakin told me during the Clone Wars. Apparently, 5,000 years ago, when the Jedi Knights were fighting the Sith Empire, a band of Jedi crash landed on an unknown planet outside the known galaxy. A Padawan was sent out to gather food, and heard about the Sennen Items, and thought they could be used as Force amplifiers, so she found the tomb of the king who had sealed them away, and they came here to Coruscant."

Shadi nodded, "Thank you for your time." With that done, he left. Sabe shook her head, and went back to dusting.
