Note 3

Padme,

I do know that you care for me as not only a best friend, but also as a sister. You must know that I care for you in the same manner. A best friend...a sister friend must be willing to die for a friend, and I am willing to do that.

I do not wish to take credit for being the one to come up with the idea for your protection. It was Captain Typho, Panaka's nephew, who brought the matter up with me. Did he not discuss it with you?

I will be your decoy on your way to Coruscant, and I will do so willlingly. This vote is extremely important, and there has been much danger in the Republic these past few weeks. With the Separatist threats, the galaxy has become quite a dangerous place.

I do know how much this vote means to you, and you will get a chance to vote. I promise you that. Didn't you form some sort of Loyalist Committee? I believe you told me that Jar-Jar Binks and Bail Antilles from Alderaan are also members. I know there are more members, but those are the ones you told me about.

What do you think of Bail? I know he's a little older than we are, but he is handsome. Is he kind?

I do not understand why so many systems are unhappy with the Republic. Didn't Dooku go off on his own just after the Naboo Invasion?

I agree with you. I don't want war; I don't think anyone does.

Captain Typho informed me that you are expected on Coruscant in 4 hours. I suppose we should get started. I'll meet you at your ship right before our scheduled time to leave, and I will maintain contact with you until we land.

I hope that the vote does not favor an army. Poor Palpatine. He must be exhausted with all that is going on with the Sepratists. Have you had any contact with him recently?

Are you impressed with Palpatine's leadership? I am. I think he's the best Supreme Chancellor the Republic has ever had.

As soon as we get to Coruscant safely, and you are no longer in need of protection, I wish to meet with certain Senator from Blue Waters. He and I have been seeing each other for a while, and I just know he's going to ask me to marry him. I wish that you could meet him. Would you like me to introduce him to you?

Have you gone out with any guys recently? You really should. I know politics are important to you, but you need a life too. I'm sure there is a wonderful guy out there that would love to date you. Have you given it any thought? Do you the hots for any guys?
