Padme woke up to find Leia gone. She must already be at the control room. Padme thought. Quickly, the 18 year old queen threw on her ice blue sweater, boots and headband. She began to look for her cloak when she remembered that she gave it to Luke in her dream. Hopefully he has it. Padme thought as she made her run to the control room. When she arrived, Leia informed her the robes were already sent out. Padme held her breath until she heard Han's sarcastic voice over the intercom say,

"Hey good morning to ya." She smiled and her grin only grew as she heard,

"Mission Control, this is Robe 2. I found them." Everyone let out a cheer and Padme gave Leia a tight hug. They're okay. Padme thought, Luke's okay.

The group arrived minutes later and they immediately brought Luke to the medical droids since he was frozen. Padme noticed when Han carried him in that he still wore her brown cloak. Luke was in a tank for a long time until he regained consciousness. Padme and the droids were the only ones to not leave at all. Han had to go get his own medical attention and Leia was called to the control room. When Luke was awake, they took him to a room with Artoo and Threepio. Padme, Han, Leia and Chewie came first with Han nudging Luke as he walked in.

"Not a bad scarring." He remarked.

"Thanks to you." Luke smiled. Han smirked,

"That's 2 you owe me." Luke shook his head as Padme walked over and gave him a hug.

"You kept your promise." She whispered. Luke smiled and whispered back,

"I'll keep that promise until I die." Padme pulled back and smiled before settling into a chair beside Luke as Han and Leia began to argue. Padme tuned out for the conversation but when Leia walked towards Luke, she stiffened until she was like a board when Leia kissed Luke. When Leia left, Luke smiled and placed his hands behind his head.

"Don't get cocky." Han said as he left with Chewie, who was laughing at Han's obvious jealously. Luke chuckled at Han when he noticed Padme was as stiff as a board.

"What's wrong?" He asked and placed a hand on her shoulder. Padme immediately relaxed. Over the 4 years they've known each other, Luke had becoming a relaxing presence.

"Nothing…" Padme trailed, her queen mask slipping into place. Luke gave her a look that shattered her mask. He and Leia had been able to learn how to read her emotions and know when her queen mask was on though they didn't know it was her queen mask. They called it emotionless mask. Padme sighed, "I'm…just not used to seeing you and Leia…I've just always seen you guys as friends and it just…scares me to think something could ruin that friendship." It wasn't a total lie. Padme did want to see her children as friends and that was the first time Luke and Leia kissed. She wasn't supposed to be used to seeing her children kiss! Luke smiled,

"Nothing will ruin our friendship. I promise." Just then, sirens went off. Luke and Padme jumped to their seats and ran out of the room, Luke to put on his pilot uniform and Padme to the control room. The sirens meant the Empire and they had to act fast.

"What's going on?" Padme asked as she arrived in the control room.

"The Empire is attacking with walkers!" One rebel cried.

"Can we hold against them?" Leia asked.

"Until our pilots are out, no." Leia ran out then to instruct the pilots. Padme stayed back and watched the walkers approach.

"Leia you better hurry!" Padme cried as the walkers fired at their men and the battle had begun.

The battle has been raging for a while now. Only Padme, Leia and a few brave rebels had not left the control room. Han suddenly ran in.

"What are you two still doing here?" He cried, "You have to leave now!" Leia turned to the remaining rebels and ordered,

"Escape while you can and meet at the rendezvous as fast as possible." The men saluted and ran out as Padme, Leia and Han ran to the girls' ship. As they were a corner away, blocks of ice fell, blocking the entrance.

"Alright new plan." Han said and pulled out his comm link and said, "Leave now. I'm taking the princess and her protector on the Falcon." Han called Padme Leia's protector because the Rebellion assigned her to go into battle with Leia and watch her back after she saved her life. Protector was just the formal term. They made their way to the pile of junk fast along with Threepio but the ship wouldn't start. Han tried several things and finally got it fixed just as Vader walked in. As they made their way through space, Han yelled at Padme, "Try and fix the hyperspace!"

"That thing is never going to work without Artoo Han!" Padme yelled in return.

"Well try! We gotta outrun these guys somehow!" Han cried. Padme groaned and ran to the pit. As she played with the wires, the ship hit something and she nearly lost her balance.

"Hey watch it!" Padme shouted.

"Sorry but what do ya expect from an asteroid field?" Han sarcastically shouted.

"Asteroid field?!" Padme shouted when the ship hit a big one and Padme lurched forward, hitting her head on the walkway, and was pushed back to the other side. Padme cried out in pain as the world suddenly got very dark.

Padme opened her eyes to find Leia staring at her with concern in her eyes.

"Leia?" Padme asked hoarsely. Leia sighed with relief.

"You're okay." Padme sat up and cleared her throat before asking,

"What happened?"

"When an asteroid hit the ship, we heard you cry out. I came back and found you unconscious. I took you back here as soon as I found you." Leia explained. "We're heading to Cloud City."

"Why?"

"Han says he knows somebody there." Padme nodded and Leia suggested she rest while she could. Padme reluctantly agreed only because her daughter's stubbornness was coming out. Padme laid down and fell asleep.

Padme woke up to find Leia sitting on her bed again. Leia smiled,

"We're here." The group got off to be greeted by a man Han called Lando. Lando had some of his men take care of the ship while another led the group to a room where they provided Leia and Padme with a change of clothes. Padme wore an ice blue dress with silver sparkles and lining on it. It also had an ice blue veil which she assumed she would have to wear but for the moment held it. Her long chocolate hair fell down her back in waves and she kept her boots on, her blaster hidden safely. Leia wore a brown dress and a long white jacket with it.

"You look beautiful." Padme smiled at her daughter. Leia turned and smiled.

"You look beautiful as well." She commented.

"Do you trust him?" Padme asked. Leia shook her head,

"Not one bit." Just then, they were called to dinner. Padme followed the group when she heard,

"No Padme. It's a trap. You must go elsewhere." Padme immediately went into the closest room. As she looked around, she gasped. It was an empty carbonite freezing room. She stood there for what felt like hours when she heard the door begin to open. She jumped up and held a pipe to prevent from falling. She watched as Vader and Lando prepared to use the freezing but had to test it first. She held back her cries as Han was forced to go in and Han and Leia confessed they loved each other. Once Han was confirmed to be alive, Chewie and Leia were led out. Padme waited, not moving at all when Vader returned, fighting Luke. Luke fell into the carbonite chamber and was nearly frozen if he had not jumped out at the last second. Padme followed them along the pipe as they continued to fight, Vader winning. Finally, Vader cut off Luke's hand.

"Ahh!" Luke cried in pain.

"Obi-Wan never did tell you what happened to your father did he?" Vader asked.

"He told me enough!" Luke cried, "He told me you murdered my father!"

"No I didn't." Vader said, "For Luke, I am your father!"

"No…" Luke and Padme whispered.

"Listen to your feelings." Vader said, "You know this to be true."

"No!" Padme shouted and swung herself over Vader's right shoulder and grabbed her blaster out of her boot before she landed. She pointed the blaster at Vader and said, "You aren't his father!"

"Padme?" Vader gasped and took a step towards the young queen. Padme took a step closer to Luke, protecting him at all costs.

"You aren't Luke's father." Padme repeated.

"Padme…" Vader whispered and reached towards her causing Padme to step even closer to the edge and to Luke.

"How do you know who I am?" Padme asked, her blaster still raised.

"How can you be alive?" Vader asked, ignoring her question.

"How. Do. You. Know. Who. I. AM!" Padme repeated. Vader placed a hand over his heart.

"I know everything about you." He answered.

"HOW?!" Padme demanded.

"For I am your husband."

"Husband?" Luke asked from where he hung on, confusion in his eyes. Padme's face didn't change as she calmly said,

"Luke get ready to jump."

"He doesn't know does he?" Vader asked.

"Luke…" Padme said, her gaze not leaving Vader's mask. Vader turned to Luke then and said, loudly,

"Luke! This young woman is your mother!"
