Late that afternoon after her meeting Padme was in her office working on a paper. Padme stared at her screen and sighed, she was missing Anakin more lately. He had been gone for almost 9 months and she missed him terribly. Suddenly Bail Organa rushed in out of breath. "Bail, what's wrong!", Padme said standing up. "I-I-I, Padme, it's... Onaconda Farr. He was flying his speeder this morning when he lost control and crashed, I just found out." Padme felt her knees go wobbly and she grasped on to the desk. Onaconda had been like an uncle to her and-and she wiped away tears that were threatening to spill. "Padme I'm so sorry", Bail said putting a hand on her shoulder. Padme composed herself, "When is the funeral?" "They are having the funeral tomorrow." Padme sat down, "Bail, if it's all right, I would like to be alone right now." He nodded, "If you need me, just call." He walked out closing the door behind him. 

Padme looked out the window and tears welled up. She called Dorme and she came right up. "Dorme, I don't think I can finish today." Dorme nodded understandingly, "Would you like to go home?" "Yes, but first I would like to call someone... privately." "Of course Mi 'lady, I will get the speeder ready."  As soon as she left Padme brought up her console. She called Anakin, but didn't get an answer. She shut her console down and headed home.
