A/N: I didn't want to do this chapter, really. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized it needed to be here. It was important to get the Gungan perspective in. It's a short chapter, though, because of everybody I'm covering, it seems like Jar Jar's feelings would be the most simple, even kind of childlike. The next chapter as it stands is forever long, and I'm really not looking forward to editing it, but I will try to get it up Friday, because it's the best stopping place before the weeklong break while I'm on vacation.

Jar Jar Binks

'Tis a dark day, a sad day. 'Tis Padmé's funeral day, and mesa missing her, because she was my friend. Mesa not having many friends, and shesa was my friend for a long time. She was the first Naboo person who was ever kind to me, ever.

She was the first of the Naboo to be friends with any of the Gungans, and that made her a friend to all of the Gungans. Shesa even got the Boss Nass to like her. Hesa called her Queen Amidoll, which fit her, because she looked like a human doll with all of the Queen makeup on. In fact, Boss Nass never liked a Queen so much as her—he still calls her that. The Boss is very sad today, too. Very, very sad.

Just as many Gungans are mourning Padmé today as Naboo. Theysa crying just like the Naboo are. Ask any Gungan to say a nice thing about the Naboo, they might not want to do it; but ask them to say something nice about Padmé Amidoll, probably they won't know how to stop. "Shesa good," mesa hear them say all the time. "Shesa a good person, friend to the Gungans." Theysa ask me, is she really so good in person? And my say yes. Always.

The Naboo and the Gungans are friends now because of her. Now shesa gone, the Gungans are worried about what's gonna happen to them next, very worried. Shesa got us to be allies, all by herself. Shesa say I helped, but mesa not sure how. And shesa got Boss Nass to like mesa, too, which looked even more impossible. She changed my life.

She changed the world. Lots of folks say they want to change the world, but shesa really did it. And the whole time she never stopped being my friend. Most of the time, mesa not knowing what mesa doing in the Senate, but shesa helped me learn. She had faith in mesa. She was the first of the Naboo or the Gungans to do that.

Mesa owe her everything.

Now mesa missing Obi and Ani-- and mesa not sue what to think, when theysa saying the Jedi killed Padmé. The Jedi always seemed very nice. If Padmé was here, shesa would be explaining it... Mesa missing Padmé the most.

Mesa missing her very much. Mesa miss making her laugh, and her making mesa feel better about things. Mesa wonder what to do, when she can't help anymore. Once mesa asking her why she thinks the Gods invtented pain. Mesa always remember, she said, "To motivate us."

So even though it hurts me that shesa gone, mesa gonna be motivated. Mesa gonna do what my think is right. Mesa gonna ask myself, "What would Padmé do?"

Then everything's gonna be okey-day. It's got to be.
