Season 1 Episode 17
"Valerie, I am so sorry that you and Master Amon are having this disagreement." Ahsoka said. The two girls were walking down the Jedi Temple hallway. "It's not right. He should have listened to you when you told him you weren't ready."
"It's alright." Valerie shrugged. "He is known to be quite difficult to work with so I suppose this isn't a surprise."
Ahsoka's comms sparked to life and she held a hand up to her friend, signaling her to wait. Her Jedi Master Anakin Skywalker appeared a moment later. "What is it, master?"
"Snips, meet me at the loading docks." Master Skywalker said. "We're going to Naboo."
"Naboo?" Ahsoka questioned.
"Senator Amidala has personally requested us for help on a potential invasion on Naboo." Master Skywalker said. "We leave now."
"On my way." Ahsoka nodded and he disappeared from her comm. "Sorry Valerie, I have to go now."
"Can I come with you Ahsoka?" Valerie pleaded.
"But about your master?" Ahsoka questioned.
"He sent me back to the temple." Valerie shrugged. "That's why I'm here. He said he's 'figuring things out' with him and I."
"Figuring things out?"
"Yea, he said that after we got into our argument so I'm pretty sure he's debating on sending me back or not."
"Valerie..."
"It's okay really. But I could use the distraction. So can I come?"
"I don't see why not." Ahsoka smiled and Valerie smiled back. "But we have to go like now." The two girls took off down the hallway.

Valerie stood next to Ahsoka as the two girls, Master Kenobi, and Master Skywalker were all standing in a LAAT as it landed in a ship hangar bay. The doors opened and the Jedi all stepped out. A man with an eye patch ran towards them.
"Who is that?" Valerie leaned towards Ahsoka.
"Captain Typho." Ahsoka whispered back. "Senator Amidala's personal security guard."
"Ah, gotcha." Valerie nodded.
"General Kenobi, Anakin, we're so glad you made it." Captain Typho said.
"Where's Senator Amidala?" Master Skywalker cut him off. Valerie and Ahsoka shared a look.
"She went to look for the lab." He said.
"And you let her go?!" Master Skywalker said defensively.
A protocol droid known as C-3PO stepped forward. "Senator Padme can be very hard to stop once she has made up her mind."
"Good point." Master Skywalker agreed. "I know what you mean." Valerie again, raising her eyebrow.
"This is Peppi Bow." Captain Typho introduced a Gungan. "She was the last person to see them. Padme sent her to safety."
"Theysa looking for the sick-maker." Peppi Bow stepped forward.
"They?" Master Kenobi asked.
"Representative Binks was with her." Captain Typho informed them.
R2-D2 beeped.
"Go with the Gungan." Master Skywalker turned to the two padawans. "See if you can find them."
"You got it master." Ahsoka nodded and Valerie followed her friend. Peppi Bow turned and started leading the girls back outside.
Once out of ear shot Anakin turned to Captain Typho. "Why didn't you send someone to look for them?"
