Nimowae's POV
We were on a ship, heading to a small planet called Naboo to settle a trade dispute, or so we thought. Aravis and I had come along, mostly because my brother went, I think, but we had only been allowed to come along under the condition that Aravis kept us invisible until absolutely necessary to do otherwise. When we arrived on the planet, ObiWan, Aravis, and I all felt a strange feeling, and it was only a bit later, when the droid came back for the second time with refreshments, that Qui-Gon admitted he was feeling it as well. Aravis and I could not voice our oppinions of course, not yet, anyway, hee hee, but we both felt that they shouldn't have drunk what the now known enemy offered them. Aravis and I paced, as we usually did when apprehension overwhelmed us, when we heard a loud crash and ObiWan and Qui-Gon drew their lightsabres. When the gas began to come in, we all took a deep breath and waited for the doors to open again, knowing that droids would be waiting just outside it. But they would already think we were dead, which gave us the advantage. Aravis and I remained invisible as the doors opened, and just as Aravis was about to let go of my arm, (she has to touch things other than herself to make them invisible) ObiWan took care of the last three droids. I ripped her arm off of mine and yelled "Battlehog!" right into his face. He looked at us as if we were alien or something and rolled his eyes. As he turned back to Qui-Gon, I looked at Aravis only to see a dreamy look in her purple eyes, as they always became when my brother came close to looking at her. It was my turn to roll my eyes, very much like my brother, and turn away from her. I thought to myself privately that we would have to have another one of those 'You're a Jedi!!!! You took an oalth!!!!!!!' talks when we got back to Correscent.
Aravis' POV
Nimowae and I were pacing
like we normally do, and the only thing that I could think was 'Man,
am I happy to be off of Correscent, especially with ObiWan. Wait, oh
man, if Nimowae sees me staring at her brother again, I'll get
another one of those...what she calls lectures, but what i lovingly
refer to as screaming sessions.'
Just then, that stupid droid came
back to give the guys drinks, I was about to get mad that I hadn't
been offered one but then remembered that I was invisible, and then I
thought, 'What if they're poison!!' I am usually very composed, but I
get paranoid if I think anything's going to happen to ObiWan. That
was when the gas started to come in and I took a deep breath. As the
doors opened, ObiWan and Qui-Gon jumped into action, lightsabres
drawn, and just as I had decided it was "necessary" and
prepared to let go of Nimowae, ObiWan took care of the last three
droids. As I watched her yell 'battlehog' into his face, I siged and
thought, 'siblings...' ObiWan glanced my way and my heart skipped a
beat before I gave him my "it wasn't me" look and pointed
at Nimowae. He looked away from me then and walked away as if I
didn't exist, I thought silently to myself, 'why can't he just look
into my eyes once? Everyone ELSE notices they're purple.' And I
always have to end up explaining my background, which I would prefer
NOT to get in to.
We made it to the bridge doors, which the Trade
Federation was lurking behind, and Qui-Gon began to go through the
doors as ObiWan, Nimowae and I kept the remaining droids at bay, or
the ones he would let us fight, anyway. As Qui-Gon jabbed his
lightsabre into the doors, destroyers showed up and I put up a
forcefield. ObiWan was standing in front of Nimowae, shielding her.
Not that I needed protection, but it would be nice for him to notice
me once in a while. Sometimes I was jeleous of his protection over
her, even though she would rather he left her alone to fight for
herself, and I didn't understand how she could take such love so
lightly. Qui-Gon yelled something, and they all began to run, finally
realizing what was happening,and dropping the forcefield, I felt a
hand on my wrist jerking me out of the line of fire, just missing the
last blast. I looked up to see ObiWan, but by that time, he had
already let go of me and run to his previous position beside Qui-Gon.
We all jumped up into the ventilation shaft hoping not to be detected
and made our way to the main hanger. I landed from a ten feet jump
beside the others to see what looked like thousands of droids
preparing for an invasion. Nimowae and I looked at each other with
the same expression in our eyes, this had become much more than a
trade dispute.
