The Present
Jaina still lay on the floor as she woke to the beep of her comm that sat on the table in front of the couch. She pushed herself up groggily and crawled over to the table, pushing the button to answer the call.
"Well you look absolutely lovely today," Sidious said in greeting. "Rough night?"
"What is it?" she said hastily. He chuckled before continuing.
"I have another mission for you. Meet me at the usual spot in half an hour." The transmission ended, and Jaina jumped up quickly. If she was to get there in that sort of time in a huge city like this, she'd have to leave now.
She hurried to change into fresh clothes, quickly running a brush through her thick curly brown hair. She washed her face off and ran out the door, wishing the turbo lift was a bit faster than it was. She made it down to the meeting place across the city just in time by a "borrowed" speeder.
"Jaina, I need you to go to Naboo, to the capital Theed. Keep an eye on how things are going there, how the Trade Federation is holding up in their...negotiations."
Jaina bowed her head to Sidious. "I shall see what I can do." She turned around to leave.
"And Jaina," he called. She turned back around to look at him. "Don't let your emotions get in the way."
The Past
"It's interesting to see you wearing a dress," Geist said with a laugh as they walked through the countryside of Naboo near a great waterfall.
"What? You expected me to wear something else on my wedding day?" Jaina smiled, walking arm in arm with him.
Geist said nothing in reply, only laughed a little more and stopped their walking. He turned to gaze at her, smiling full of happiness. "I'm glad we got married. This is the happiest moment of my life." She smiled at him in return. "I love you."
"I love you, too," she said softly. They leaned in together for a kiss. He put an arm around her waist, and with his other hand, he lightly touched her face. She put her hands on his chest and leaned foward, kissing him gently, her heart pounding.
They sat on the ground to watch and listen to the waterfall. He held her close, his arms around her. "So what happens now?" she asked.
"This," he said with a laugh, kissing her more. She laughed as well, but pulled away just a little to break off the kiss.
"I meant at home," she said softly. "What do I do about the Jedi? How can I possibly keep this a secret?"
"We'll worry about that as it comes," he replied in a whisper. "And not now. Because we're not going to worry about anythings besides us until that time comes to go home." And he continued the kiss she had broken off.
