Note 13
Padmé,
Have you have been able to get to the Viceroy? If so Wonderful!!!!!!!!!! But you said that you needed the Trade Federation Control Ship destroyed. Were your fighters able to do that? Please tell me you are safe at last.
WHAT? Anakin went out into a space battle? My 9 (he's almost 10) year old boy went out into battle? He did not return to the planet after going out into space. Anakin told me this himself as well, but to have his story confirmed by you…. Anakin told me that he's the one that destroyed the Control Ship? You have no idea how proud I am of him…but he better not take stupid risks like that ever again. He has never flown a ship before…and he is so young. You do not know how alarming this news is to a mother. Has he landed on Naboo again? I want to know that you have seen him with your own eyes…alive.
Can you confirm if he has returned yet or not? Please tell me how Anakin is doing…
And I hope your own part in the battle has gone well. Anakin may have destroyed the Droid Control Ship, but what about the others involved? Have you accomplished your goal as well?
Yes…I hope that Qui-Gon can still train Anakin somehow. He promised me he would. I have not heard from him in a while, and I am starting to grow worried. Have you heard from him?
Anakin and I will be forever indebted to you if you would assure that he is taken care of. If he could stay on Naboo, that alone would be wonderful. You do not trust the new Supreme Chancellor? But isn't he from your planet? Anakin said he was a very nice man. He told me how Chancellor Palpatine had comforted him, and how kind the man was. I suppose that politicians generally have a way of unsettling us at times.
I am sorry to hear that you do not know what happened to your parents. However, you are fortunate to have been taken in by a loving person, and I know that whoever raised you would be proud of you. I hope that you do find your birth parents someday.
Thank you again.
Shmi Skywalker
