Padme had been in her cell for days, how many she couldn't be sure of, but if she had to guess then she would say three or four at the least. During the time she had been incarcerated she had not had any contact with her children, though Obi-Wan did come to see her multiple times a day. often times he would try to talk to her, but she refused because he wouldn't listen to anything she had to say and quite honestly she did not care to hear anything he had to say. It was almost as if they were at a standstill with each other and she wasn't sure what he would do next to try and get through to her. He had mentioned something a Yoda, but she had no idea what or who that happened to be.

"Good afternoon Padme." She looked up when the Jedi master walked in with a little green creature using a cane. "Someone has come to see you. You remember Yoda don't you? He has traveled a very long way to see you."

The former senator frowned as she studied Yoda. Try as she might, she could not seem to remember him and so she had no idea what they had been to each other. She decided that she would let him talk first in order to get a read on him. If only Anakin was here then he would be able to get her out of this situation. He would know what to do, but he wasn't here because Obi-Wan wanted to keep he and Padme apart. It appeared as if she would have to deal with this situation on her own. She was a strong woman, at least from the few memories she had of the past that is what she got of her personality. She could handle this without Anakin. She would rescue her children and herself.

"Good to see you it is." The little green creature stated as he hobbled forward on his cane. "Sad though the circumstances are. Told me Obi-Wan has about your situation. Help I offer if you seek."

Padme sat down on the edge of her cot. It took her a moment to understand the way he spoke, it reminded her of someone speaking in riddles. "What has Obi-Wan told you exactly?"

Yoda took a moment to gather his thoughts. "Turned to the dark side your husband has. Accept the truth you will not. Here I came to help you find the path which is right for you. Told you I have what I was told now tell me the side of your story you will?"

"Why should I bother?" She shot back and crossed her arms over her chest. "If I say what you want to hear then you are going to say I am crazy or brainwashed. I've already tried with Obi-Wan."

He nodded as if answering a silent question. "Yoda I am, Obi-Wan I am not. Decision my own you should let me make."

Padme thought about it for a second before deciding that there was no harm in doing what he wanted. The worst that could happen would be he didn't believe her. "Okay if you want the truth then I will give it to you. Anakin has done some things that are questionable I know, but he is far from being evil as you all claim. Everything he has ever done was because he was trying to protect me and our children. I am not saying that makes what he did right, but it shows me he is not evil. Someone who was evil, truly evil, they wouldn't be able to feel love and he does feel love. He is one of the most passionate people I know and if you could get past this black and white view you have on life then maybe you would realize that Anakin is not a lost cause. He will become one though if you keep pushing him to be the monster you have made him out to be."

Yoda contemplated everything she said. "Wise you are about certain things and yet innocent when it comes to other things in life. Some points you have made think over I will. A question now for you I have. How can you be sure you are seeing what you are? Are you sure seeing not what you want are you?"

"I could ask you the same thing." She replied watching as his calm expression wavered for a moment. "I am seeing what is there. You Jedi talk about peace and compassion, but I have yet to see any of that applied to the situation with Anakin. If you really want to end this without a war then show some of that compassion you are known for. Take a real look at my husband and his actions. You may learn a thing or two which will surprise you."

Yoda nodded once more. "Think on this matter I will. Talk to Obi-Wan I must and bring babies to see you tomorrow I will. They miss their mother and you must miss them as well. Jedi are not heartless Padme and we will think about what you said. A war not we want and if reach in peace is then try for it we will."

After he left Padme let out a sigh of relief. Maybe there wouldn't have to be a war after all. Hopefully this Yoda would see reason and put a stop to all this foolishness. It was something she could hope for anyways. The last thing she wanted was a war, but if that was the only way she could get her family back then that is the way it would have to be. One way or another she was going to get back to her family and once she did, she would make sure nothing tore them apart ever again.
