Passion or Infatuation? A Star Wars Story

«Chapter 1»

______________________________________
Another murder attempt was placed on Padmé Amidala, yet again. The Jedi Council sent two of the best Jedi's they had; a Jedi Master, and a Padawan learner. Their names are Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and young Anakin Skywalker, and their mission was to safely bring Senator Amidala back to Coruscant.

After they returned with the Senators, they were called into a meeting with the Jedi Council to discuss their upcoming mission.
They both sat down, wondering what their next mission was going to be, and Yoda cleared his throat,

“Decided the Council has, for Master Kenobi, and Young Skywalker, to go to planet Foe.” Yoda said, and Obi-Wan and Anakin both share a glance at each other.

“Is that near the Outer Rim?” Obi-Wan asked, and Mace Windu nodded.

“Yes, the council decided that we will send you two, to see if we can form an alliance, with the Queen, and with their people.” Windu said, and Obi-Wan ran his fingers through his beard, and Anakin sat there for a moment before speaking.

“Shouldn't we be searching for the bounty, that is trying to kill Senator Amidala?” Anakin asked, and Master Windu stared at Anakin, not appreciating him questioning the Jedi Council's decisions.

Obi-Wan turned to Anakin, “My young apprentice, we will not question Master Yoda's, or the Jedi Council's decisions. We will follow their orders, and do what they say.” Obi-Wan said, and Anakin sighed in defeat, “Sorry, Master.”

Yoda nodded his head, signaling for Master Windu to continue, “We are sending another Jedi to search for the Bounty hunter. Queen Victoria knows we will be coming, you guys will talk to her about how her planet would be of great use to the Republic.” he said.

Ki-Adi-Mundi was there in hologram form, but spoke up, “We can not afford to lose this planet to the Federation. Queen Victoria and the planet will be much needed, especially now, and especially as allies.” he said, and everyone in the room agreed simultaneously.

Yoda nodded his head, and turned back to Obi-Wan and Anakin,
“Seek out, the force sensitive children you must.” Yoda told them, and Obi-Wan began to speak, but was cut off by Anakin, “Who will watch Senator Amidala?”

Obi-Wan looked at Anakin with a stern look on his face, “Take her you will. Protect her, guards of planet Foe will.” he said, and Anakin leaned back in his chair, with a sigh of relief.

Obi-Wan began to speak once again,
“When do we leave?” he asked, and Master Windu stood up, “Now. The faster we can become allies, the better.” he replied, and both Anakin and Obi-Wan stood up.

Anakin was relieved that the council was allowing them to take Padmé on this mission. He was nervous that something might happen while he was away, and that he couldn't protect her.

Yoda walked up to Obi-Wan, and Anakin, “May the force be with you.” he said simply, and the two men were on their way to get Padmé, and head straight to planet Foe.

“Master, are you familiar with this Queen Victoria?” Anakin's asked, and Obi-Wan slightly shook his head.

“No, I haven't. But we must hurry and get Padmé, we need to be punctual.” Obi-Wan said.

• Meanwhile, on planet Foe •

Victoria and Lennon were walking down the long, beautiful hallways of their home. "I don't think it's a good idea Tori." Lennon said, she knew deep down that this was just not going to work.

Victoria rolled her eyes, “All they want to do is talk about us forming an alliance. And...” she began to say but stopped, trying to figure out a way to put it, without her sister having a bantha.

Lennon looked at her sister with an eyebrow raised, “And what?” she asked.

Victoria pursed her lips, “And they want to seek out possible force sensitive children.” Lennon stopped dead in her tracks, and looked at her sister, “What?”

Victoria continued to walk, making Lennon jog after her, “You have to understand Lennon, as Queen, I have to do what is best for my people.” Victoria said, “And how is this 'best' for the people?!” Lennon asked, her eyebrows furrowed together.

Victoria stopped, and turned to look at Lennon, “Listen, it is a great opportunity for me, and my people. We will have more allies, and when we need them, they will help us, and when they need us, we will help them.” Lennon stood there listening to her sister.

“The Senate is all talk, and no action, Tori!” Lennon said, getting aggravated at her sister's blindness to this situation. “And plus, shouldn't allies of system be able to enforce laws with the planets they already have?” Lennon asked, flinging her hands to the side. She didn't even let her sister have a chance to speak, “I bet they're coming here because they want something.” she said pausing, "Oh wait- they do want something!” Lennon exclaimed, rolling her eyes, and began walking off without Victoria.

Victoria grabbed her sister by the arm, “Len, you're making it sound like they're just coming here to cause trouble! They are peacekeepers, for goodness sakes!” Victoria shouted.

Lennon looked at her, “Peacekeepers my ass.” Lennon said, and began to walk away, and left Victoria standing there, flabbergasted by her choice of words.

“Wait!” Victoria shouted, and Lennon turned around, “What? Are you going to scold me, for my choice of words?” Lennon asked, expecting Victoria to chew her out for cursing.

Victoria rolled her eyes, “No, potty mouth. I wanted to say, just please, keep an opened mind about this, please.” Victoria said, and Lennon looked down at the ground.

Victoria sauntered off down the hall, leaving Lennon alone with her thoughts. She sighed, looking out through the big window which overlooked the gardens.

Lennon began to walk out to the gardens, it was peaceful, quiet, and beautiful. She sat down in the soft, green, grass and began to think.

Her gut told her that this wasn't a good idea. She knew that bringing the Republic all the way out here, just wasn't going to work, or even becoming allies with them. She thought her sister was doing a fine job, she seemed like she didn't need any allies.

But then she started to clear her mind, she knew that being a biased, narrow-minded politician will not help this situation at all. She was going to try, and be open minded about this situation.

After she cleared her mind, and decided what was best, she walked back inside, and her sister looked at her, “When they get here Lennon, please be respectful, and nice.” Victoria said, knowing that her sister had a hard time keeping her sarcastic, sometimes rude, comments to herself.

Lennon kept telling herself over and over, “Keep an opened mind. Keep an opened mind.”
