Meeting the Queen.
Surprise another update. : ) sorry no beta reading for this story but I do try. : ) Also my computer crashed and took many of my notes with it. I really need to back things up more often and get a better computer.
Queen Padmé Amidala looked out on the audience chamber and smiled at the Jedi Knights standing before her.
"I would like to thank Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan for their protection and for killing the Sith."
"Uh, your majesty." her aid coughed nervously. "It seems the Jedi are not responsible for killing the Sith your highness."
"I don't understand. He is dead. Who else would have been able to kill a Sith lord than a Jedi?" Padmé asked in confusion.
"A young woman appeared from out of nowhere while I was fighting the Sith. It seems her appearance saved my life. She is the one who ultimately killed the Sith." Qui-Gon explained.
"A young woman? You mean a citizen of Naboo killed the Sith? Who is this girl?"
"She is just outside your majesty, but I do not believe that she is a citizen of Naboo." Qui-Gon explained having sensed her waiting outside for them.
"Please bring her in. I would very much like to meet this woman to thank her myself."
Padmé desperately tried to hide her surprise at the tiny woman who was brought before her. Said girl was obviously nervous and did not know how to properly curtsey though she tried. If she had to guess Padmé would think that the girl was not very much older than she was. Yet, she had no doubts that this was the girl who had killed the Sith. Her clothes still had blood on them.
"Please, be at ease." Padmé tried to sooth the young girl. "What is your name?"
"Hey." Buffy waved nervously, this sucked to all kingdom come. She was meeting the queen of a whole freaking planet in ruined and bloody clothing. "I am Buffy Summers, Its good to meet you. I...I'm sorry for my state of dress, Whistler set me down here without any other clothes than what I am wearing. I don't even have any shoes." She whimpered the last part with great sorrow. "Or I swear I would have totally changed before coming in here."
Amidala's eyes widened and her heart went out to the young girl. Of course she would have wanted to change, if Padmé were in her non existing shoes she would have been humiliated as well.
"Please, be at peace. I completely understand. I wish to thank you for your help, but that can wait until you have had a chance to refresh yourself. Ameé is one of my handmaidens and she will assist you with getting cleaned up as well as some new clothes and shoes."
Buffy smiled so brightly at this news that Padmé thought she might be blinded.
"Thank you very much your majesty."
"You may call me Padmé, Buffy for I have a feeling that we are going to be friends."
"Thank you Padmé I could use all the friends I can get." Buffy stated then followed Ameé to get cleaned up.
