Stepping In (Star Wars AU)

Chapter 22

----Delfi's POV----

The guards immediately aimed their blasters at the Naberrie family, Teckla, and Delfi as soon as they entered the palace.

"What is your business here?" The guard on the left asked harshly.

"We're are here to see Bail Organa." Jobal answered.

"Do you have clearance?" The same guard asked.

"Well...no." Ruwee said.

"Then you can't see Viceroy Organa. Not just anyone can see him." The guard on the right said.

"Can't you just call up to him or something and ask? This is important." Jobal pleaded.

"No. Schedule a meeting and come back another time. Good day to you ma'am." The guard on the left said.

"No. I'm not leaving until I see Bail Organa." Jobal stated, crossing her arms.

"Ma'am, if you don't leave right now, we will forcibly remove you from the premises.

Jobal shook her head.

"Jobal? Is that you?" A woman's voice sounded from behind them. 

Queen Breha Organa walked up the stairs carrying a basket of flowers.

"Breha!" Jobal exclaimed, hugging her.

"It's so good to see you again!" Breha said, hugging her back. "What brings you here?"

"My friend, Delfi, needs to ask Bail a question. It's important."

"Of course! C'mon." Breha said, signaling them to follow her.

The guards stepped back. Breha led them to the balcony that looks over the city. Bail was talking to Leia. As soon as Bail saw them, he ended their conversation and walked to greet them. Leia smiled and walked past them. Bail hugged Jobal and shook hands with the rest of the family, Teckla, and Delfi.

"What are you doing here?" Bail asked

"My friend, Delfi, needs to ask you something."

Bail looked at Delfi.

"Is Obi Wan Kenobi alive?"

Bail and Breha's faces grew surprised, as well as the Ruwee, Ryoo, Sola, and Darred's.

"Why would you think that I would know where Obi Wan Kenobi?"

"You are apart of the Rebellion, am I right?"

"No! That would be treason!" Bail denied.

"Please! It's important! I need to find my son!" Delfi pleaded.

Bail paused for a moment.

"Yes, I am apart of the Rebellion and I do know where Obi Wan Kenobi is. He's on Tatooine in the Jundland Wastes."

"Thank you!"

"Bail, I know this is a lot to ask but can we stay here? The Empire thinks we're traitors and is now on the hunt for us." Ruwee asked.

"Of course. You're always welcome here." Bail said.

"I must go now. I have to find Obi Wan as soon as I can."

"I understand. Take one of my ships and go to Tatooine."

"Thank you so much." 

After she said her goodbyes to Teckle and the Naberrie's, she made her way to the hangar bay. It took her a while to find it but she finally made it and hopped into a ship. She looked at the controls and studied them. She pressed a button and the ship came alive. She grabbed the two control sticks and pulled them. The ship flew up in the air. She pushed forward and the ship flew out of the hangar.

"I've got the hang of this now." She smiled.

She pushed the button labeled "auto pilot" and programmed Tattooine, Judland Wastes. She took her hands off the controls and closed her eyes and she entered hyperspace.

She woke up when the ship landed. She looked out of the ship. Rocks, rocks, and more rocks.

"Same old Tattooine." She mutters.

She climbs out of the ship and starts walking.

"This is going to take forever!" Delfi complains, throwing her hands up in the air.

Suddenly, she heard something. It was like an animal. She looked around until she saw banthas.

"Tusken Raiders." She said to herself.

"This is no place for a lady. It's dangerous." A man said behind her.

She twists around. A man with a stick and a white beard stood on one of the rocks. He wore a brown robe. He looked at her. His calm face turned into one of surprise and shock. He took a step back.

"Shmi?"

A/N: So Delfi's identity has been revealed! So obviously I made Shmi younger in this story. If I didn't, she would be in her seventy's! I hope you like this chapter. Bye!
