Chapter 6: Tahu and the Gungans
Tahu was fascinated by the Gungans. He thought they had a great sense of humor and a fierce warrior spirit. This Jar Jar Binks seemed to be different from all the others, and that's what he liked about him.
"So, what are yousa doing on Naboo, Tahu?" asked JarJar.
"I was originally sent here on a supply mission for the Resistance against the dogs. The men on the battle field were the ones we were delivering supplies to.
"Then the dogs came, and that through our mission in a totally new direction. We were supposed to sit out the battle and call for help. Well, we did call for help, but we helped fight, and that cost the lives of all my comrades. But if it weren't for you Gungans I wouldn't be alive right now, and I am in your debt," replied Tahu.
"Ah, yousa make mesa blush! We are honored to help yousa humans fight off the dogs. Theysa invade our home planet and cause trouble! Wesa won't stand for it nosa more! We will fight by yoursa side all wesa can!" exclaimed Jar Jar.
"Well, it's good to here the Resistance has an ally nation. We are honored to fight along side you," said Tahu.
"Nosa, we are honored to fight along side yousa," replied Jar Jar.
Jar Jar and Tahu went on like this for a while. Tahu didn't even notice where they were going until he tripped and fell into a lake.
Jar Jar laughed uncontrollably. "Yousa so clumsy!" Jar Jar said while still laughing. "That is so funny…Whoa!"
As Jar Jar kept laughing, he fell into the water as well.
Tahu started to laugh. "Ha! And you call me clumsy, Jar Jar? You're one to talk!"
All the other Gungans groaned with annoyance. "Jar Jar is an embarrassment to us all," whispered one Gungan to another.
"Yes, hesa so annoying," replied the other Gungan.
Jar Jar jumped out of the water. Tahu followed.
"Well, are wesa going to go down now?" asked Jar Jar.
"Down? Down where?" questioned Tahu.
"Down there," replied Jar Jar, pointing towards the water.
Tahu looked at the dark water. "Down there? Under the water? Why down there?" asked Tahu.
"Because that's where wesa live!" answered Jar Jar and he jumped head first into the water. All the other Gungans followed.
Tahu stared at the rippling water. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his portable breathitizer. Every pilot had to carry one in case they were flung out of their space ship and into space. Luckily for Tahu, they worked underwater too. "Well, here goes nothing," he said. He put on the breathitizer and jumped into the water.
As he swam, he could see the Gungans swimming ahead of him. Their bodies were built perfectly for the water. It was hard for Tahu to keep up.
They swam deeper and deeper, and Tahu could see light as they ascended down. As they swam closer, he could see a giant orb in the water. In the orb was what looked like...a city? Tahu was amazed. He had never seen an underwater city before. Not only that, he never thought there could be an underwater city.
"Wow!"he thought to himself. "This is amazing!"
Tahu saw the Gungans swim right through the orb, so Tahu did the same. As he emerged into the orb, he noticed he was walking on dry tiles. He removed his breathitizer and noticed he could breath. It was like walking on dry land.
He looked around at the amazing city surrounding him. It was almost like all the ones back on Earth, only more fascinating.
Jar Jar approached him, smiling. "Welcome, Tahu, to Gunga City!"
