"Try these pallies... Here." Anakin said tapping Qui-gon.

"Thank you." Qui-gon replied with a smile.

"Oh, my bones are aching ... storm's coming up, Ani. You'd better get home quick." The old frail vendor urged Anakin.

"Do you have shelter?" Anakin asked turning to me.

"We'll head back to our ship." I replied

"Is it far?" He inquired

"It's on the outskirts." I answered turning my face from the wind.

"You'll never reach the outskirts in time.!" Both Anakin and Briste exclaimed.

They looked at each other then Briste looked away quickly with a slight blush.

"sandstorms are very, very dangerous. Come on! I'll take you to my place." Anakin finished

We all followed Anakin as he rushed down the windy street. Artoo whistled along the way. The wind was really picking up. My long blonde hair was in my face all but blocking my view. The children were right, we never would have made it back to our ship.

We stopped in front of a building that looked to be small quarters of some sort. I could barely see in front of me because of the sand. I grabbed Briste's hand and gently pulled her closer to me. She flinched slightly making me frown.

How could someone do this to a child. I thought to myself. Whenever I was close to her I felt the force coursing through my veins. I have to talk to Qui-gon, the force is definitely with her.

"Mom! Mom! I'm home." Anakin shouted as we entered the home.

"Dissen cozy." Jar Jar commented looking around

Anakin's mother im guessing entered from a work area and seemed startled to see the room full of people.

"These are my friends, Mom." Anakin told her

"Hidoe!" Jar Jar greeted cheerfully

Artoo let out a little beep.

"I'm Qui-Gon Jinn." My master introduced himself politely. "And this is Alondria Katon."

I gave a small wave and a smile. "It's good to meet you ma'am."

She smiled and greeted me in response

"I'm building a droid. You wanna see?" Anakin said pulling Briste.

She looked at me with a face of concern.

"It's ok go ahead." I said with a smile

She giggled and followed Anakin.

"Your son was kind enough to offer us shelter." Qui-gon told Shmi

I stepped into the other room when my communicator started beeping.

"What is it?" I spoke into it

"A transmission has just come through from Naboo, it's the governor and he's saying the death toll is catastrophic and that the Queen must return and sign a treaty." Obi-wan answered quickly.

"That's weird, can you play it back through the intercom?" I asked

"Yeah hold on."

By the time it was over Qui-gon had stepped out with me and listened.

"Sounds like a trap." He commented crossing his arms
