Sabe,

Well, I can tell you that it was a shock to me too. The last few months have just been this crazy, incredible whirlwind and I had no idea that it was all going to end up like this. When my adoptive father told me who my real father was, I didn't even believe him at first. I mean, I'm already Queen of Naboo, do I really need anymore titles?? I think one is plenty. You know, I'm actually glad that being Princess of Coruscant doesn't pull much weight there. When I finally become a Senator, I want it to be because I earned it, because my people wanted me there not because I'm the princess.

I understand why you need to leave, Sabe...but I'm going to miss you so much! I don't know what I'm going to do without you! I know I'll survive, somehow, and I know you need to be with your husband but that doesn't mean I'll miss you any less.

Your resignation has gotten me thinking about my own future lately. I was thinking that, someday, I'd really like to have a husband and a family of my own but I just don't see how I could ever be able to balance my public and personal lives. My people and their needs have always come first and unfortunately, I don't see myself ever really putting my own needs before theirs. I know exactly what you're going to say...that someday I'll meet the man of my dreams and want to marry him and all that...I doubt that'll ever happen though.

But anyways, back to you leaving me. If there's anything I can do to help you move, please, please let me know. I want to help so just let me help. And you'd better not leave without saying a proper goodbye. And I promise not to cry. Well, at least I'll try not to.

I wish we could write more often than once a year but I know that with everything going on in both our lives right now, that might be all we'll be able to manage. Just know that you've been the best friend I could ever ask for and I'm going to miss you so much. Be sure to tell your husband for me that he'd better care of you otherwise I'll have to hunt him down and hurt him.

Best of love and best wishes,

Your friend,

Padme

Sabe,

Yeah, I know. The kind of cute where you just want to run over and give him a great big hug, LOL. You're right, Anakin will have plenty of girls to worry about at the Temple.

I know; it does sound weird. And to tell the truth, it feels weird without Qui-Gon. I mean, I only knew him for a little while, yet he was always around, whether I was a handmaiden or a Queen. He always treated me the same; I wonder whether he really knew who I was and was just playing along. He made me miss my father a lot.

Daria and I played chess the other day…and she won. We talked for a little while about pretty petty things, but then she stopped me and said, "Krilien seems to think highly of you, so I'm willing to give friendship a chance. But I'm not going to sugarcoat this; I'm a touch person to be around a lot of the time; that's just the way I am. I've tried to change, but it's not easy. If you're willing to put up with me, I'll be a true friend. And I do have to warn you, I speak my mind." I told her that was fine with me. I'm still not sure what to make of what she said, but she was completely honest and straightforward with me and I appreciate it. I do sort of want to be her friend, and yet I'm not sure of what to do.

The parade was wonderful! Except for my shoes…are they yours or mine? I know your feet are a size smaller…but then again high-heels are high-heels…

Your going to have to get used to it Sabe. Guys will compliment you; married or not. Some of them have no ulterior motives; they just saw something they liked and commented on it. Others might try flirting; even if you are married.

Oh, I'm glad Caleb approves of me. He's a nice guy; a little on the sarcastic side, but I don't mind that. I saw him and Krilien talking; did they get along okay?

I know I'm soo relieved. Maybe I can relax for a few days after we get the restoration work done around here. Maybe Caleb, you, Krilien and I can do something fun, something that normal teens do. ^__^

I'm glad Anakin gets this chance too. But he's not allowed contact with me again. So we had to say good-bye, possibly for forever. I'm going to miss him in this weird way.

Were they? I guess they were. I can't imagine why they would want to talk with me.

Oh wait, Yabe just told me that we are scheduled to talk tomorrow morning. I hope nothing's wrong.

See you tomorrow,
Padme

PS – Krilien was just by and asked if he could write something:

Hey Sabe! It's me. Just wanted to say hi and I really enjoyed meeting your husband. Um, I guess I'll go now since I don't have anything else to say…

Krilien

PPS-Sabe, it's Padme again. Do you know where my Black dress is? The one with the gold beading?
