Photographer's Log: Entry 549
So, Jet finally let me switch places with her today. Now, I follow Skywalker, and she follows Amidala. It's actually not all I thought it would be. With the whole "being pregnant" thing, Amidala can't really go anywhere. All she does now is pace back and forth through her apartment worrying about "Annie" and eating banja cake. She also hasn't taken that blue nightgown off all day. How I am watching all this you ask? I actually snuck in through her open veranda, and I hide behind her couch. I almost got caught by her golden protocol droid. She really seems to be close to that droid. I remember she got it when it was just a dull silver, but then she bought some gold plating for it. She seems to be really attached to her droids. That and the astromech droid are the only ones around (besides me) whenever Skywalker and Amidala hook up. The thing is they WON'T SHUT UP! Especially Goldie, man, sometimes I just walk out from my hiding spot and break his speakers. That little one with the multi-colored lights might stop me, though. He's kind of protective of his friends.
I wonder how Jet's doing. Was she able to get into the Jedi Temple? I didn't have much luck yesterday, so how is she supposed to have a better chance? So I was watching Amidala pace back and forth and then she turned on the news. The next thing you know, she starts crying. It turns out; the Jedi temple is on fire! Holy sithspit, Jet! She could be there right now! She might be hurt! Or for all I know, she may have even started the fire. So Amidala's rushing to the window, and she bursts into tears when she sees the smoke from miles away. Suddenly, I felt a buzzing in my pocket. My holophone was going off. I checked the caller ID; it was Jet! Ok, so apparently she's fine, for now. I snuck out of the apartment, and into the hallway to answer it.
"DEX! I never thought I'd say this, but…Help me!" Jet sounded panicky over the phone.
"Where are you?"
"I'm under a table in the Jedi Temple Archives! Hurry!" She yelled.
"I see the smoke, what happened?" I asked her.
"I'll tell you later, just get me OUT OF HERE!" She was at the point of breaking down. I ran out to my hovercar and drove all the way to the Jedi Temple. There were the authorities and a bunch of taped off areas, but an expert photographer can always get past regular guards. I got in through a side entrance, but the place was filled with smoke! There a bunch of Jedi running all over the place and they didn't seem to care that I was trespassing. Of course, the least thing I'd worry about is strangers if MY house was on fire. So I remembered the rules from school about fire (minus the "get out of a burning building as fast as you can" part) and got down and crawled on the ground. I've conquered water, falling off of buildings, and crashing hovercars, and now I was tackling fire. I found the way to the Archives, and I found Jet under the computer table coughing her lungs out. Now, I was the hero dragging her out of the building and back out into evening sky. She still had a bad cough, so I took her to a quick clinic, and they said she'll be fine once she coughed all the ashes out of her lungs. I was seriously worried about her for a minute. I almost thought she'd never get out of that fire, but I've come to know Jet, and I know not even the apocalypse would take her out. After the clinic, I took her home to rest. After a quick nap, she spilled everything.
She said she followed Skywalker into finding Mace Windu battling against PALPATINE! You have to be screwing me. That old man can FIGHT?! That's not even the best part! So if you're Skywalker and you find a Lord of the Sith fighting against a member of the Jedi council, you're probably gonna help Windu, right? WRONG! Skywalker actually CUTS OFF Windu's ARM, and then PALPATINE sends him out the window!!! I don't even know how I am writing this, because this is like the stories not even the best story tellers can explain thoroughly. I mean, the drama, the horror, the IRONY! Then, Skywalker bows to Palpatine and goes to kill ALL THE JEDI. That's right, I just said, ALL THE JEDI! Man, Amidala is going to be TICKED when he gets home! So that's how she ended up at the Temple, trying to get a picture before she almost got trampled by stampeding troopers. The first thing I asked her is if she got any good pictures. She slapped me, probably for thinking about pictures before her well-being, whoops. Then, she rolled her eyes and pulled out her camera to show me some AWESOME pics. She got everything. Man, the boss is going to have a heart attack. I asked her if she knew where Skywalker was now, she didn't know, but we'll find him tomorrow after we turn in the awesome pics.
