That night, Dooku was held in a special cell with the Force-cuffs on him.

"Alright, Dooku." said Peppermint, pacing in the cell.

Peppermint wore a police uniform, trying to look more intimidating to the Sith Lord, and had a lamp shining on him like in a good-cop-bad-cop drama. Obviously, she was the bad cop.

"Here's what's gonna happen..." said the candy-corn, slamming her hooves onto the table. "You're gonna tell us who you're working for."

"Pardon my horse." Obi-Wan said more gently. "We know that you must know where Lady Morpha is hiding."

"I am afraid I do not possess that knowledge." Dooku said.

"Don't play dumb with us, Dooku!" Peppermint said, snorting in Dooku's face. "We have ways of making you talk."

Dooku sat calmly as though he were in meditation.

"It will go a lot easier for all of us if you just tell us where Darth Sidious is." Obi-Wan said.

"Foolish, Kenobi. You believe I will just tell you such information."

"Oh, I have a way to make you tell us." Peppermint said.

Dooku chuckled. "A sugar-coated horse is no match for a Sith Lord."

"Oh, I'll give you sugar-coated. I'm gonna treat you like a lollipop until you tell us what we want to know."

That just confused both the Jedi and the Sith... until Peppermint stuck out her tongue and licked Dooku roughly on the face. Dooku was disgusted by the saliva that got onto him.

"Hmm...many wonder how many licks it'll take to get to the center of a tootsie pop. I wonder how many licks it takes to get you to talk." Peppermint sneered.

Dooku started to actually feel intimidated by the horse as she licked her mouth and started licking him again. Obi-Wan wondered how long Peppermint could keep it up.

"I'll go see if Carmine can bring Lamenta here." Obi-Wan said, leaving the room while Peppermint kept licking.

"NO! Please don't leave me here!" Dooku begged, spitting in disgust as Peppermint kept licking him.

Meanwhile, on Naboo, everyone was fast asleep in their beds, including the two who could see dreams.

Pedro looked around and could see everyone's dream clouds, but was surprised to see Lamenta next to him. Ever since the first night in this new world, Pedro and Lamenta discovered whenever they slept within a certain distance, they both could see the same dreams at the same time.

"Looks like we're watching dreams together again." said Lamenta.

"I still haven't gotten used to that." Pedro said.

"Neither have I. But, we might as well ensure everyone sleeps peacefully..."

Lamenta paused as she saw one cloud was very dark and thundering. Uh oh. That could only mean one thing. Whenever someone's dream cloud was dark like that, it meant the dreamer was having a nightmare. The darker the cloud, the scarier the dream. And this one was thundering like crazy.

"That's Uncle Anakin's dream cloud!" Lamenta said. "He's having a horrible nightmare, I just know it!"

Lamenta flew over, but Pedro was too scared to go in.

"Lamenta, espera! Wait! We don't what's in there!" Pedro said.

"It's just a dream. It can't hurt us for real."

Lamenta entered her uncle's dream and looked around. She immediately became horrified by what she saw.

Padme was in pain, screaming for Anakin. There was the sound of a baby crying, screams of agony, and Anakin crying out in horror. And the scariest thing of all... Padme died in childbirth.
