*Warning, Jar Jar Binks does make a brief appearance in this chapter. Personally I like Jar Jar, but I know some people find him annoying so this is for you. I didn't copy his speak pattern though, I have no idea how to write it so people, including me, could understand what I am saying, so I apologize if you were looking for that.*
They dropped off the Rebel spy with no problem and reached Naboo safely as well. As they were preparing to land, Kanan went over the plan. "Alright, when we reach the surface we will all split up. Chopper and R2 will stay here in case we need the ship brought to us. Try to be subtle with your line of questioning, got that Zeb?" Kanan announced. "I'm always subtle Kanan." he replied with mock hurt.
"Yes you are, you're as subtle as a wookie walking through a group of storm troopers unseen." Hera said. Zeb glared at her for a second before chuckling as he nodded in agreement. "I'm serious Zeb. If she is still alive and on the light side, then she might flee. If she is on the dark side… well things might not end well for you my friend." Kanan said while giving him an I'm serious look.
Luke sat quietly, he couldn't believe that Kanan had actually thought to have them split up so he didn't have to ask to search alone. Now he could ask around about Padmé as well. Soon the Ghost was set down outside of a town by Hera. "This is Theed. When Padmé was queen here, this is where she ruled from, so more than likely this is where Ahsoka would end up if she came here after leaving the order. You guys do realize that this is a long shot, right?" Hera asked.
Luke and Kanan both nodded. "Yes but we have to try, Hera." Luke said. "Okay everyone, unless something goes wrong, we'll meet back here at sunset." Kanan said. With that everyone separated and headed out into the city. Hours passed and either no one had ever heard of Ahsoka, or she was someone they had learned about in history class, or they remembered her, but they hadn't seen her since a bit of time before her trial.
Luke was beginning to wonder if they were ever going to find her, when he finally ran into some luck. He came across an old Gungan, one that wasn't too bright but was very willing to help. "Yes I knew Ahsoka, she was a student of my friend Anakin." "Have you seen her lately… I'm sorry what is your name again?" "Oh it's Jar Jar. And it's been awhile since I have seen her, a month at least I would say."
Luke perked up at that. "A month you say? Does she live here on Naboo?" "Oh yes, but I'm not supposed to tell anyone that. She lives out in Varykino." Immediately after saying that Jar Jar slapped his hands over his mouth. "Don't worry Jar Jar, I'm a Jedi looking for other Jedi. I won't hurt her… unless she has gone to the dark side, has she?" "Who, Ahsoka?" Jar Jar laughed and said "Oh no, she is very much a light Jedi. Please don't tell her it was me who told you where she lives, I don't want her to be mad at me."
"I won't Jar." Luke was about to turn away when something made him turn back. "Jar Jar, do you know who Padmé Amidala is?" "Oh yes she was queen long time ago. She was a friend of Jar Jar." "Do you know if she is still alive?" Luke asked, trying to keep the excitement out of his voice. "No she died of a broken heart many years ago." came the reply. Sadness filled Luke's throat as he said "Okay thank you Jar Jar."
